Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 67 Childbirth
一
When she heard that Zhong Lan was beating the drum in front of the emperor, Pan was shocked and worried about her body, so she hurried away in her car.

When Zhang's carriage arrived at the palace gate, Zhong Lan's face looked tired, her body was thin, and her hair was slightly messy and struggling in the wind, but she didn't care about it, and she complained in front of the palace gate in a hoarse voice at the top of her lungs.

Seeing her repeating "My husband is not guilty" over and over again, Pan's eyes turned red: "Mrs. Zhong, why are you doing this?"

Wen Shu was beating the Dengwen drum for Zhong Yan, and when she saw Mrs. Pan coming, she handed the drumsticks to Chang Huan to continue, and she went up to pat the bell herself: "Miss Pan is here."

Zhong Yan's eyes were dazed, and he only came back to his senses when he heard Wen Shu's words. He turned his head and saw Mrs. Pan: "Ms. Pan, didn't Deng Wengu beg the emperor to avenge him? Why did the concubine knock on the drum for a whole day, but there was still a little bit in the palace?" There is no movement?"

Pan's eyes were red and she looked away: "Shu'er, please advise her."

Wen Shu stepped forward and hugged Zhong Lan, trying to help her get up: "It's getting dark, let's go back first and come back tomorrow."

"I won't leave!" Zhong Lan pushed Wen Shu away, "If the emperor doesn't give us justice, I will wait here until death."

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yue Shi on the side said angrily, "Perhaps I have no time to take care of the case. Let's leave some people here to wait for the news. Let's go back first."

Zhong Lan was stubborn and silent, only staring at the tall and majestic palace door tightly closed with his scarlet eyes open.

"Now that you haven't been convicted yet, you have already considered it in your heart. If you hear you beating the Dengwen drum and you are sentenced to death for ransacking your home in a fit of anger, who do you turn to for reasoning?" Pan patiently persuaded.

"I don't want to force him, I just want to ask him why he keeps targeting him, demoting him one promotion after another, and tormenting him like this." Zhong Lan lowered his head and said helplessly, not understanding why the world tortured Shen like this.樨.

"I don't want to publicize this matter today, but I want the world to know about it. Shen Feng's merits and demerits cannot be judged by His Majesty alone, but must be left to the world for comment."

"Second girl, be careful what you say!" Mrs. Yue cautiously glanced at the guard at the palace gate, stepped forward and took Zhong Lan's hand, blocking the guard's sight, and whispered angrily, "You don't want your life?"

"Now that things are like this, what should I say cautiously?" Zhong Lan smiled sadly, "I won't leave, so don't persuade me."

"How can your body bear it?" Pan said anxiously, "It's winter now, and the nights are so cold. Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to take care of the child in your belly. You can't bear to see you and Mr. Shen... Did something happen to the child?"

Zhong Lan lowered his head and covered his stomach, crying silently.

"Bring the carriage over." Mrs. Pan sighed, seeing Chang Huan still knocking, she stepped forward and patted her, "Silly girl, why don't you help your girl get in the carriage?"

Zhong Lan was helped up and looked straight at the majestic palace gate, as if looking through the palace gate at the emperor in the high seat of Zihe Palace, who was laughing at his mantis arm as a chariot, and Jujue closed his eyes.

"Ms. Zhong, are you okay?" came a female voice.

Everyone turned around and saw Xu Songqing, and they quickly saluted: "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Li."

Xu Songqing stepped forward and helped Zhong Lan up: "You are all exempt from courtesy."

Zhong Lan took Xu Songqing's hand as if he had seen a savior: "Your Highness, is there any way for Your Highness to help us redress our grievances against the Emperor?"

Xu Songqing couldn't bear to look at Zhong Lan's passionate eyes, and shook her head helplessly.

Zhong Yan's heart felt cold again, his feet were unsteady for a moment, and he staggered two steps.

Wen Shu quickly hugged Zhong Lan and said, "It will be fine."

"Your Majesty's health is not as good as before. It is definitely not intentional to disregard Mrs. Zhong. Now that your Majesty has not convicted your lord, he must be in a dilemma. In the end, he will be punished lightly." Xu Songqing couldn't bear to see Zhong Yan in such despair, and persuaded softly .

"It is said that there is no official who cannot be promoted or demoted. Now Shen Feng has been promoted and demoted twice in one year, and now he is in prison. It is still a strange thing." Zhong Lan smiled bitterly.

"Ms. Zhong should take good care of herself and go home early. If there is any news, I will send someone to support Mrs. Zhong." Xu Songqing took Zhong Yan's arm and helped her into the car.

"The reason why Tsuen is in the fish, you will forget the Tsuen when you get the fish; the reason why the hoof is in the rabbit, and you will forget the hoof when you get the rabbit. What the sage said is the truth." Zhong Lan suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground. Wen Shu's arms.

"Zhonglan, Zhonglan!"

Several people were in chaos for a while.

When Pan saw Zhong Lan's body was red, she was shocked: "It's fetal force!"

"The second girl is only seven months old now, where can I find a midwife?" Yue Shi also asked anxiously.

"Prince Li's Mansion! You follow me back to Prince Li's Mansion!" Xu Songqing supported Zhong Yan, "A few days ago, the side concubine had a miscarriage, and the midwife was still taking care of her in the mansion. The Palace of Prince Li is also close to the palace gate, so follow me!"

The doctor of Erli Palace diagnosed that Zhonglan had signs of labor and had to drink oxytocin to give birth to the child, otherwise neither mother nor child would be able to survive.

A few people had no choice but to let the midwife induce labor.

There were screams from time to time in the delivery room.

Mrs. Yue and Mrs. Pan stood guard outside the door, frightened by what they heard.

"This is the first time for the second girl to give birth to a baby. Let her save some energy!" Yue Shi ordered anxiously.

"Yes." Chang Huan's voice came out.

"Mrs. Zhong is only seven months old, how can she bear such a pain?" Mrs. Pan covered her face with a handkerchief.

"The inducing medicine prescribed by the doctor is ready." Wen Shu came forward with Yun Le holding the medicine. "They are all good medicines. I watched the whole process, and no one did anything."

"Send it in." Xu Songqing ordered someone to open the door.

The screams in the room instantly doubled in volume.

"No, I have to accompany Zhong Lan!" Wen Shu looked at Pan in embarrassment.

"Good boy, go ahead." Pan nodded and allowed Wen Shu to enter.

On the couch in the inner room, Zhong Yan was drenched in cold sweat and had no strength left.

"Girl, try harder! You can already see the child's head." Chang Huan's hands were covered with blood and he was very anxious.

Seven or eight women went out carrying basins of blood, all with frowns on their faces.

"Zhong Yan!" Wen Shu stepped forward and took Zhong Yan's hand.

Seeing that it was Wen Shu, Zhong Lan forced a smile: "I don't have the strength anymore. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't work."

"This is your and Shen Feng's child. Can you bear to see him still in prison and you mother and son abandon him?" Wen Shu held Zhong Lan's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her strength to him. Just like Zhong Lan.

"Shen Feng..." Zhong Lan's tears fell slowly.

"Think about Shen Feng, think about your parents and aunt, think about me." Wen Shu also had red eyes, "I have no parents anymore. Now besides Wen Yi, you are my only relative. You can't How much money do you still owe me if you abandon me? You have to pay me back for the rest of your life!"

Zhong Lan gave a bitter smile: "I can't help you if you haven't done it yet."

"Didn't you say that after giving birth to a child, you asked me to be the godmother of the child? You can't break the promise. You actually broke the promise of my boss Wen. You are the first person in the world who dares to break my promise." Wen Shu grabbed Zhong Lan. He cried with his hand, "Hold on! Can you try harder!"

Zhong Lan frowned, smiled, groaned softly, and secretly used his last strength.

A clear baby cry sounded, the sound was clear and loud.

"It's a young man!" the midwife said with a relieved smile. She took care of it properly and carried the child to Zhong Lan.

"It's wrinkled, not like his father, nor like me." Zhong Lan lost his strength, smiled weakly and snorted.

"Newborn children are like this, don't talk nonsense!" Wen Shu was very happy, but she was afraid of hurting Zhong Lan, so she only laughed and scolded her in a low voice.

"Auntie and the others must be waiting impatiently outside. You can take her out and show them." Zhong Lan said feebly and exhausted.

"Okay, have a good sleep." Wen Shu said softly, took the swaddled baby in the midwife's arms, got up and left the inner room.

Yue Shi and the others had already entered the outer room, and when they saw Wen Shu coming out of the inner room with the child in her arms, they hurried forward to ask about Zhong Yan.

"Everything is fine with her. She's just too tired to go to bed." Wen Shu choked with sobs.

"Okay, okay." The few people were finally relieved, and gathered around to see the newborn child.
