she has golden eyes

Chapter 36
Since the first emperor succeeded to the throne, the Yang family of General Jianwei has been guarding Chengjiang Mansion, an important town in Yunnan.

Twenty years ago, when General Jianwei Yang Xu was on an expedition, the lieutenant guarding the city rebelled and bloodbathed Chengjiang City on New Year's Eve.

The general's mansion was ransacked and all the young and old were tortured and killed.

When the rescuers arrived, the rebels had already fled the country. The night after Yang Xu triumphantly returned to the city, he disappeared without a trace.

Some people said that he was crazy, some said that he probably committed suicide, and some said that he went out of the country alone to pursue those rebels for revenge.

In short, 20 years later, there is still no definite news about Yang Xu's life and death.

Li Jinzhi paused and continued:
"Actually, on the night when the rebel army massacred the city, a mother named Jiang escaped from Chengjiang City with General Yang's young daughter. After General Yang disappeared, she brought the girl all the way to the capital."

"That girl is the princess?"

"Yes, the emperor's grandmother took pity on the orphan of a loyal minister and raised her by her side.

At that time, the sister-in-law was three years old, and the prince's elder brother was five years old. The two grew up together beside the emperor's grandmother. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts. "

Having said that, Li Jinzhi smiled sarcastically and said:

"It's a pity that the emperor's aunt doesn't like the concubine's sister-in-law, and always says that she is not Wangfu's life. Because the brother of the prince insisted on making his sister-in-law the official concubine, he was ignored by the emperor's aunt for a long time."

Mei Xue just smiled, looked at the slightly shaking white car curtain and said nothing.

Apart from Emperor Mingde, who else in this world is more valuable than the Crown Prince?But Empress Shen was still not satisfied.If you want to find a daughter-in-law who can prosper the prince, is it possible that there is someone more valuable than the prince's fate?
The human heart is always insatiable.

The matter was actually much more serious than what Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue had estimated, because as soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace city, they found that there were already people from the East Palace waiting.

The leader was Guo Yunqing, the envoy of the imperial hospital.

Guo Yunqing once went to Chengdu to treat Li Jinzhi in person. When he saw him, Li Jinzhi turned serious and looked at each other silently with Mei Xue.

Guo Yunqing was drenched in sweat, he ran up quickly to salute Li Jinzhi, then looked at Mei Xue and said:

"You are Miss Mei, right?"

Mei Xue nodded and gave Guo Yunqing a junior salute.

Guo Yunqing hurriedly returned the gift, and hurriedly said to Li Jinzhi:
"My lord, I'm afraid the Crown Princess is going to die. The amniotic fluid has run out, but the child still hasn't moved. The Crown Princess has fainted several times."

Li Jinzhi looked at Mei Xue, Mei Xue nodded, and simply said three words, "Go and see".

The two palanquins waiting at the gate of the palace were lifted by the guards and flew towards the East Palace.

Guo Yuanshi, who was left behind, kept shaking his head and sighing while chasing forward.

Although he had heard a lot of rumors, the girl was too young, and this was a woman giving birth, a matter of narrow escape.

But everyone is at their wit's end, so let's give it a try, alas!

Before entering the gate of the East Palace, Mei Xue had passed over the heads of the guards carrying the sedan chair and saw a group of people kneeling in the courtyard.

Most of them wear the same official uniform as Guo Yuanshi.

Li Jinzhi led Mei Xue through the kneeling crowd in the courtyard, and before entering the door, he heard a deep female voice saying:

"No matter what method is used, the child must be kept, otherwise you will all be buried with me."

A choked male voice is persuading:
"Mother, save Shumin first, child, we can still..."

The male voice was interrupted by the sound of porcelain shattering. Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi looked at each other and entered the main hall gate one after the other.

Empress Shen also looked less than 50 years old, her lips were tightly pursed, she sat in the middle, her hands were firmly grasping the armrest, and there was obvious anger in her phoenix eyes.

Several midwives were kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. A man in white was standing beside Empress Shen. When he saw Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue, he rushed up to greet him and said:

"Jinzhi, is this the girl Mei?"

Li Jinzhi just nodded, before he could speak, Mei Xue was already running towards the apse.

He didn't even look at Empress Shen and Li Jinyu, let alone salute.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, even Queen Shen was too shocked to recover.

How could there be such a bold and rude woman?

Li Jinzhi looked calm, saluted Empress Shen and Li Jinyu and said:
"Auntie and Brother, please forgive me. The envoy Guo told me about my sister-in-law's condition just now, which made Miss Mei very worried."

Li Jinyu shook her head repeatedly, but her eyes were fixed on the direction of the apse without blinking.

If it wasn't for Empress Shen watching here, he would have rushed in by himself
The strong smell of blood led Mei Xue to the princess' bedroom quickly without a guide.

It was already a tragic scene of giving up. The hot water, brocade handkerchief, and medicine bowl were crumbling here and there, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the brocade quilt.

The Crown Princess Yang Shumin closed her eyes tightly, her face pale and motionless.

In Nuo Da's dormitory, there was only a grey-haired nanny standing by the bed, hugging Yang Shumin and crying, saying:
"Your Majesty, if you persist, you have already sent someone to invite the divine doctor from the Shu Palace, who will surely keep your mother and child safe."

But the princess didn't respond at all.

Mei Xue rushed to the door, panting heavily, startled the crying nanny to stand up hastily.

Mei Xue looked at the nanny, and guessed that she was the Nanny Jiang that Li Jinzhi had just mentioned, but time was running out, so she just said, "Prepare the silver needle immediately", and went straight to the bed and lifted the mask on the princess. brocade quilt.

The original snow-white underclothes had already been stained red with blood.Mei Xue closed her eyes, picked up the scissors on the table, cut off all the clothes below her chest and threw them on the ground.

Nanny Jiang stumbled in panic with her needle bag in her arms, and Mei Xue immediately sealed the crown princess' broken red acupuncture point with a silver needle.

Instructing Mother Jiang to wipe off the blood on the princess' abdomen with a hot handkerchief, Mei Xue cleaned her hands, knelt down on the bed, pursed her lips, and put her hands on the high swollen belly of the princess.

The fetus is not only lying on its side, but the umbilical cord is also wrapped around the neck. How can it be born?

The fetal heart rate is so weak that it is completely inaudible.

With tears in her eyes, Mother Jiang watched as Mei Xue kept rubbing the princess' belly with both hands.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mei Xue stopped and reached out to grab the scissors on the brocade handkerchief.

Mother Jiang was so frightened that she staggered and fell to the ground beside the bed, grabbed Mei Xue's sleeve and shouted:

"Girl, what are you going to do? The child hasn't come out yet!"

Mei Xue's face was covered with sweat, and her skirt and orange half-arm were covered with dots of blood. She shook off Mother Jiang's hand vigorously, and said in a deep voice:
"It's just a side cut of the birth canal. If you don't want her to die, just let me go."

Jiang Nanny fell to the ground again, watching Mei Xue lift up the scissors.

The air in the main hall has stagnated, and a few timid palace servants have already passed out on the ground.

Suddenly a woman who was in charge of delivering the baby rushed out, knelt down in front of Empress Shen and said:
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is awake, um, um... Miss, please bring the decoction to stop the bleeding immediately."

Empress Shen suddenly stood up and asked sharply:
"What about the child, why didn't you hear the cry of the child?"

The woman kneeling on the ground was stunned, and it took a long time before she said tremblingly:

"Servant, servant did not hear little master..."

"You poor maidservant, how dare you make up your own mind, I must kill her today."

Empress Shen was extremely angry, she threw off her long sleeves and walked quickly to the apse.

Li Jinzhi's face showed rare anger. He frowned, and was about to follow up. Li Jinyu hurriedly pulled him back and said in a low voice:
"Jinzhi, don't worry, I won't let Miss Mei have an accident."

A group of people cheered and followed Queen Shen to the apse. Li Jinyu supported Queen Shen, and when they reached the door of the bedroom, they were dumbfounded.

Jiang Nanny sat on the edge of the bed and hugged the Crown Princess, who opened her eyes slightly, looking at Mei Xue who was kneeling beside her without blinking.

The blood-covered child was dragged in the crook of Mei Xue's left arm without any response, his head tilted limply.

Mei Xue's body was covered in blood, she didn't care about everything around her, she just stared intently at the child in her arms, and quickly took out the child's mouth and nose with her right hand.

After the blood foam mixed with viscous amniotic fluid was cleaned up, the child was put on the bed by Mei Xueping, but there was still no response. Empress Shen was extremely angry, and with trembling hands, she ordered the palace servants behind her:

"Drag her out to Bengong! Immediately kill her!"

Li Jinyu immediately dodged to stand beside Empress Shen and blocked the door, and the palace servants did not dare to step forward, and retreated and knelt outside the bedroom.

Mei Xue didn't even lift her head from the beginning to the end. She put the child flat on the bed, placed the heel of her left palm on the middle and lower part of the child's sternum, placed her right fingers on the left palm and began to gently press rhythmically.

Every twenty or thirty presses, Mei Xue pinches the child's nose and blows into his mouth.

After a full cycle of dozens of times, when Queen Shen and Li Jinyu couldn't see clearly, the child who had been unresponsive all this time suddenly let out a weak cry.

Only then did Mei Xue raise her head, with sweat and blood all over her face, she looked at Li Jinyu and Queen Shen wearily and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's a little emperor's grandson, congratulations to your empress and His Royal Highness the crown prince."
