"Ugh." Xiang Xia sighed, "It's really fickle." Yesterday, when your subordinates came to report, they kept saying that you believed me and asked me for help. I was so casually scared that you were in a hurry to say that I was going to kill you. ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the concubine thinks that whoever hears the poison will be scared like the concubine." Sun Ruan'er forced her composure to regain her composure and explained.

"It makes sense, that's because I'm too careful." Xiang Xia said to himself, "I thought you wanted to borrow me to prepare medicinal food for you, and before coming to the small courtyard today, you should do your best to prepare for me, saying that I harmed you and the child in your womb."

Sun Ruan'er seemed to have been poked in the heart, and her face turned pale, "How can the concubine make fun of the safety of herself and the child in her womb, it is indeed the lady who is too careful." ”

"Well, I shouldn't have doubted you. It's just that these two medicinal diets have been prepared, and they are all carefully boiled by me, so you can't waste them and live up to my wishes. Xiang Xia hooked a harmless smile from humans and animals, as if the poison was not her at all.

"But" Sun Ruan'er hesitated for a long time, did she want to force her to drink the poison.

"Even if Mrs. hates the concubine and wants to kill the concubine, she has to wait for the concubine to give birth to the child in the lower womb." Sun Ruan'er knelt on the ground and cried.

"You get up first, why do you always think that I will harm you." Xiang Summer's tone is dissatisfied.

Sun Ruan'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, ignorant and ignorant, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"The bowl you just took is poisonous, and this bowl" holds another bowl to the summer, "non-toxic." ”

"The non-toxic bowl is different from the poisonous one, the smell and color are different, I don't believe you come and take a look. And the non-toxic bowl, I also tasted it beforehand. Xiang Xia smiled, and then pushed the medicine bowl in front of her, "It's up to you which bowl you choose." Come, fill another bowl with it. ”

The poisonous medicinal diet had been broken by Sun Ruan'er, and the servants who accompanied it quickly filled it up after listening to the order.

Sun Ruan'er pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "Madam, why do you need to do this." The concubine naturally chose this bowl. ”

Between the words, Sun Ruan'er reached out and picked up a non-toxic bowl. But any normal person would not be stupid enough to choose a toxic one.

"Yes, then you can drink it." Hold your chin to the summer and be lazy. Then, he smiled playfully and said, "If something happens to your stomach, you can't rely on me." ”

She couldn't rely on it if she wanted to. Everyone here listened and watched, and there was no problem with the bowl of medicinal food that Sun Ruan'er chose. Moreover, as Xiang Xia said, if she really intended to harm Sun Ruan'er, she would not stop Sun Ruan'er from drinking the bowl of poisoned medicinal food.

"Ma'am, what do you mean by that?" Sun Ruan'er forced a smile, "Madame takes good care of the concubine, how can there be a problem with the concubine's child." And the concubine believes in Madame, even if Madame doesn't treat the concubine sincerely, she treats my child sincerely. I also know that if Madame really doesn't want to keep a concubine with this child, there are thousands of ways to eradicate our mother and son, and there is no need to wait until today. ”

"You're a bit self-aware. Drink it, it's going to be cold. "Say cold to the summer.

Sun Ruan'er looked at Xiang Xia and wanted to say something to her again. What Xiang Xia didn't show up was that Sun Ruan'er looked at her differently today. In the past, her eyes were full of jealousy, anger, and fear, but today her eyes showed tenderness, gratitude, and even some indescribable tastes.

In fact, she has long been accustomed to Xiang Summer's cold attitude towards her, and it is not a disappointment.

Then, Sun Ruan'er listened to her words, hid her face and drank all the medicinal food.

"Madame, will you treat my child well in the future?" Sun Ruan'er asked, and muttered to herself, "You are a good person, I believe that you will definitely treat the child of the concubine as your own." ”

Why did she suddenly say these words, Xiang Xia didn't understand. I always feel that today's Sun Ruan'er is a little strange, as if there is something to hide.

No, there is still that feeling. That feeling is that Sun Ruan'er has been hiding herself behind the black cloth, and she has to gradually uncover the black cloth. She has done many harmful things and used many evil methods, some of which they have discovered, and some of which they have not yet known.

Xiang Xia can feel that Sun Ruan'er is going to be relieved and liberated?!

Such a serious and terrible word came to Xiang Summer's mind.

No, no.

"You're really lifting me up. You gave birth to the child yourself, so why do you want me to treat him well, why do you want me to treat him as my own? I'm telling you, I can't. "Humming and chirping to Summer, singing against her.

Sun Ruan'er didn't laugh angrily, she wanted to say, no, she would, she could do it. But before she could say it, a sharp pain came from her lower abdomen in the next second.

"Smack-" The medicine bowl shattered.

Sun Ruan'er's body suddenly couldn't stand and was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, someone helped her.

"Mrs. Sun, what's wrong with you?" The subordinate asked in a panic.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts" Sun Ruan'er lay on the ground and covered her stomach, only screaming and venting.

How can it hurt?!

Could it be that she really guessed that there is something wrong with Sun Ruan'er's baby? ! Is there a problem or something else.

Xiang Xia hurriedly stepped forward to inspect her, "Get out of the way." ”

The subordinates surrounded Sun Ruan'er, and was coaxed away by Xiang Xia, leaving only two or three to hold Sun Ruan'er.

In an instant, Sun Ruan'er's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat. Presumably, the pain was really unbearable.

Seeing this, Xiang Xia was also anxious. Xun took her pulse, carefully lifted her skirt again, and observed and touched.

Really!

"Not good! You're going to give birth! Quick, go and ask Wen Po to come! You guys, carry her back to her room first! By the way, please go to the general's wife and invite me too! "Giving orders to the summer in a hurry.

Yueyue is also quite knowledgeable in medicine, although she has no experience in midwifery, but she may be able to help a little.

"Yes, yes, yes" Seeing that she was so anxious, the subordinate also hurried up and swarmed.

Several people worked together to carry Sun Ruan'er back, several experienced subordinates went to prepare production supplies, and some people went to invite Wen Po and Huang Yueying respectively.

"Go and inform the general again." Xiang Xia whispered to the few remaining subordinate wards around him.

After all, it was his child, and he must be looking forward to welcoming the birth of the child. Thinking of this, Xiang Xia felt a little bitter in his heart.

Think about it again -

Wrong! Sun Ruan'er is only seven and a half months pregnant now, why is she about to give birth all of a sudden. She had never been frightened or stimulated, and it stands to reason that she would never have been born prematurely for no reason.

What's going on here?

Xiang Xia came up with a bold idea, could it be that Sun Ruan'er has been pregnant for a month, and when the time comes, the amniotic fluid will naturally break, and it is a normal birth!

ii

The huge backyard was already busy, and the front of Sun Ruan'er's house was crowded with people.

The maids kept going in and out of the inner room, and they all had basins of water in their hands. Three or two elderly grandmothers were careful and able to fry the hot soup and medicine, and quickly sent it in and fed it to the people in the back room to drink. And Wen Po was also anxious and eager, and encouraged loudly: "Work hard, how can you do this?"

Zhao Yun hurried back after receiving the news, and Xiang Xia and Huang Yueying had been staying outside the house for a long time.

"Zilong."

"Lady, how is she doing?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked.

Xiang Xia shook his head in embarrassment, "It's not very good. ”

"How so?" Zhao Yun was nervous and worried, "Isn't it time yet, why is the day early." ”

"I'm wondering, what do you think?" Huang Yueying held her chin and thought, and pushed down to the summer again.

"I don't know."

Xiang Xia didn't say what she thought, after all, it was just her conjecture. And her conjecture is very important, related to Sun Ruan'er's reputation, and also related to the bloodline of the Zhao family. Until there is no definite evidence, it is still not presumptuous. Besides, this kind of thing is unlikely, the doctors who came to diagnose Sun Ruan'er's pulse before have repeatedly confirmed her pregnancy, and there should be no mistake.

While she was thinking, Wen Po pushed the door and walked out, she was already busy inside, taking advantage of this time to wipe her hands and sweat, shaking her head incessantly as she walked.

"How's the people inside?" Zhao Yun took a big step and asked with concern.

"General, she can't give birth to this lady at all!" Wen Po clapped her hands and shouted, "The fetal fluid has broken, and the oxytocic medicine has been filled, but for a long time, the child's shadow has not been seen." I've been delivering babies for so many years, and it's the first time I've encountered Mrs. Ling's situation, and there's really nothing I can do. General, you'd better ask for another master. ”

"What?!" Zhao Yun exclaimed, "How can you not be born." ”

Rao is Huang Yueying, and now she is also in a hurry, "Grandma, you are a famous midwife of this generation, even you are helpless, who else can we go to." ”

Only to calm down a little in the summer, Sun Ruan'er can't give birth to this baby, which is unexpected, as if it is expected.

It is better to ask for others than for herself, she raised her pace and rushed straight into the house. As soon as I entered, there was a pungent smell of sweat. From a distance, Sun Ruan'er's sheets were soaked with blood and sweat.

"Oh, no, come on! Mrs. Sun, she shed a lot of blood! The servant shouted.

Xiang Xia's eyes widened and he watched the blood flowing from under Sun Ruan'er's body.

How, how could this be?! Could it be, could it be a blood collapse?!

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and almost rushed to Sun Ruan'er's bedside. stared at her closely and asked, "Do you have something to hide?" Why can't a child be born? You must have something to hide, you say, you say it quickly! ”

Sun Ruan'er's eyes were misty, her lips were snow-white, fine sweat and silk were glued together, and she suddenly became hundreds of times old and miserable. She gasped for breath and shook her head with difficulty.
