After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Anyway, he's either the emperor or the prince." Wang Zhaozhao didn't care.

"The army is returning to the capital, do you want to go and see it? Let's go together and see what the foreign princess looks like?"

Shen Yunjin shook her head. "I won't join in the fun. Look at my belly. I'd better not make trouble."

"It's okay. I'll go check it out and come back to tell you." Wang Zhaozhao comforted.

"Are the midwives and wet nurses ready in advance? Do you want me to find some reliable and experienced people to come over for you?"

"This has been arranged by the prince before, and he can enter the palace at any time."

"That's good. If there's anything you need my help with, please ask Jinzhi and the others to come over and let me know."

Wang Zhaozhao felt relieved. There was no one in charge in the Prince Qi's Mansion, and she was actually a little worried about her best friend.

Shen Yunjin felt relieved when he knew that Xiao Minshen was on his way back.

She began to pay attention to exercise, and after dinner every day, she would take a walk around the palace.

She heard from Linglong that one should do some exercise before giving birth so that one would have enough strength for the birth.

I had dinner a little late that day because I overslept in the afternoon and had a little snack when I got up.

By the time Shen Yunjin went out for a walk, it was beginning to get dark.

As usual, she took Yangliu around the east edge of the pond and then returned to the yard.

There are many water lilies blooming by the pond, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus.

Looking at the fish jumping out of the pond from time to time, Shen Yunjin felt a lot more relaxed.

"Do you know? The prince is missing!"

"When did it happen? Why is the prince missing?"

When Shen Yunjin walked to the edge of the pond, voices were heard coming from the bushes in front.

Yang Liu was about to scold Shen Yunjin when she stopped her.

She stood still, and the people inside probably didn't expect that someone would come to the pond at this time.

"In the afternoon, I passed by Uncle Zhong's room and heard him talking to the guards."

"It is said that there was an assassin chasing him, and the prince was stabbed with a sword, and then fell off a cliff. The guards searched for a whole day and night but couldn't find him, so they came back to send people to continue the search."

"Then the prince is in great danger, isn't he?"

"If the prince is gone, what will we do?..."

Yang Liu saw Shen Yunjin staggering and her face becoming more and more ugly. She quickly stretched out her hands and hugged Shen Yunjin, and they both slid to the ground.

"Master, how are you? Master? Someone come quickly!"

Two servants who had been talking in the bushes came running over, their faces pale.

"Quick, go get someone to bring a sedan chair, and go get Dr. Li," Yang Liu ordered calmly.

After a while, several servants came and carried Shen Yunjin back to the house.

Doctor Li washed his hands and began to take the patient's pulse, his expression becoming more and more serious.

Shen Yunjin felt pain in her stomach and she looked at Doctor Li helplessly.

"But there's something wrong with the child?"

"The concubine is having a miscarriage and is about to give birth, but because the baby has not yet entered the pelvis, it will be difficult."

Doctor Li looked embarrassed, but he still told Shen Yunjin the situation truthfully.

Shen Yunjin touched her belly and found that the little one couldn't wait to come out.

She smiled weakly, "It's okay, just help me give birth. If there are any problems during the birth, save the baby first!"

She had discussed this issue with Xiao Minshen before, but the King of Qi was very angry and refused to answer.

But in her current situation, her first instinct is to keep the child. Perhaps, this is the first decision as a mother.

"Master, Miss Linglong is here!"

Linglong walked quickly to Shen Yunjin's side, put her hand on her belly, and felt the contractions.

"Is she going to give birth? But the baby hasn't even entered the pelvis yet?"

Linglong looked at Doctor Xiao Li, who nodded at her.

"Linglong, I leave this palace and the child to you! If there is no way to save both, please save the child first, please!"

Shen Yunjin pulled Linglong's hand hard and asked her to make a promise.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save both the adults and the children. Just listen to me and Doctor Li."

After saying that, she walked aside to discuss the details of the delivery with Doctor Li.

Because Shen Yunjin only had contractions, but her water did not break and she did not see any spotting.

So the result of the discussion between the two was to give Shen Yunjin a small dose of pregnancy-preserving medicine first.

Because a small amount of sleeping pills were added to the pregnancy-preserving medicine, Shen Yunjin fell asleep quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, contractions came again and Shen Yunjin was awakened by the pain.

Linglong asked two servants to support Shen Yunjin and walk around the house.

Yuzhi hurriedly added a handful of noodles to the old hen soup that had been cooked on the stove last night and brought it in.

Shen Yunjin knew that giving birth would require a lot of physical strength, so she gritted her teeth and finished the whole bowl of noodles.

After eating, she regained her strength and let the old woman continue to support her walking.

After taking a few steps, I felt a stream of water flowing down my thighs.

"Linglong, my water broke~~" Shen Yunjin endured the pain and said to Linglong who was eating noodles.

Linglong put down her chopsticks, reached out and touched Shen Yunjin's belly, feeling the frequency of the contractions.

"Yuzhi, go and bring over the labor-inducing medicine that Doctor Li prescribed."

Along with the labor-inducing drug came the midwife, who touched Shen Yunjin's belly as soon as she arrived.

"The baby hasn't fully entered the pelvis yet. Concubine, drink the labor-inducing medicine and follow the old woman's instructions."

The old woman pushed Shen Yunjin's belly with her hands. Shen Yunjin bit her lip and did as she said.

Half an hour later, the midwife was sweating profusely.

"No, this kid is too stubborn. He won't go on. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he'll be in big trouble."

Linglong pushed her away and said, "What are you talking about? Get out!"

The midwife became angry when she saw a young girl pushing her.

"This is a delivery room. Why are you, a young girl, staying in here? Are you the one who caused the woman to be unable to give birth?"

She is a famous midwife in the area. Who doesn't know her fame within miles?

She was not wrong. Normally, whenever she did this, the child would be born on its own. Who would have expected that the child would be so stubborn today?

She pushed to the right, and the child turned left; she pushed to the left, and the child turned right; she pushed down, and the child ran up!

The child didn't want to come out, how can you blame her?

But this is the Prince of Qi's Palace, and she doesn't want to lose her life, so she wants to find an excuse.

Linglong kicked the man out and asked Doctor Li to come in and take his pulse.

"The midwife is right. The baby is stuck in the middle. The concubine has consumed too much energy and her contractions have weakened. If this continues, it will be easy for two people to die."

"Is there any other way?"

"If my father were here, maybe I could try acupuncture. Unfortunately, I am not good at acupuncture."

"Do you remember the acupuncture points?"

"Of course I remember this. Do you want to give it a try? You absolutely cannot do that. Acupuncture is not a joke. It's a matter of life and death!"
