Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time, we mentioned that Yunxi had just stepped out of Xingqing Palace and not far away when she met a panicked little maid from Xiuzhen Palace.

As soon as the little palace maid saw Yunxi, she immediately came forward and said breathlessly, "Sister Yunxi, something bad has happened! Our mistress suddenly has a severe stomachache. I'm afraid she's about to give birth!"

When Yunxi heard this, she was shocked and asked quickly, "What happened? When did Ling'er start to have stomachache? Did you go to call the imperial physician?" As she asked, she followed the little palace maid and hurried to Xiuzhen Palace.

Before he even stepped into the gate of Xiuzhen Palace, he heard Ye Ling'er's heart-wrenching cry: "Oh, it hurts so much... Ouch! Ouch..." The voice was full of pain and helplessness, which made people feel pity.

Yunxi quickened her pace and walked into the palace, only to see Ye Ling'er lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with sweat, her hands tightly grasping the sheets, moaning constantly. Her expression was very painful, and it seemed that her condition was very critical.

Yunxi was extremely worried. He quickly stepped forward and held Ye Ling'er's hand, and asked with concern: "Ling'er, how are you? Hang in there!"

Ye Linger opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw Yunxi, a trace of relief flashed across her eyes, but was immediately overwhelmed by pain. She said weakly, "Sister Yunxi, it hurts so much... my child..."

While Yunxi was comforting Ye Ling'er, she turned around and asked the little palace maid beside her: "When did your master start having labor pains? Why didn't you go find the imperial physician?"

The young maid gasped and replied, "The master started to have abdominal pain earlier, but she hasn't given birth yet. I wanted to wait until the pain subsided before asking for the imperial physician, but the master's condition got worse and worse. The master asked me to come to you first to see if there is any way to relieve the pain."

At this thrilling moment, Ye Ling'er is facing a severe test of life and death.

She lay quietly on the luxurious bed, her face as pale as paper, as if all her vitality had been taken away. Sweat flowed down her forehead like a spring, soaking her clothes. Accompanied by waves of painful groans, people could not help but worry about her and be anxious.

Xiao Cui, who was standing by, was extremely anxious but helpless. She tried her best to ease Ye Ling'er's pain, constantly comforting her softly and cheering her up.

Ye Ling'er's hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, as if she was trying to grasp the last straw. Her body was twisted and deformed by the severe pain, and every contraction seemed to tear her apart. However, despite such great pain, she still gritted her teeth and persevered. For the new life that was about to come into the world, she showed incomparable perseverance and courage.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Yunxi knew that it was too late to find a midwife. So, relying on the medical knowledge she had learned from modern times and the midwife delivery scenes she had witnessed in TV dramas, she began to make full preparations for Ye Ling'er's delivery.

Yunxi made a prompt decision and ordered the palace maid to quickly light a fire and boil water. She knew that at this critical moment, she must prepare sufficient supplies to effectively assist Ye Ling'er in completing the delivery process.

She instructed the palace maids in detail to prepare clean and soft towels and ensure that there was enough hot water to clean and wipe the mother's body at any time. At the same time, sharp scissors and tough silk threads were also required to be prepared to deal with the need to cut the umbilical cord.

In addition, Yunxi remembered that she had prepared some herbs for Ye Ling'er when she went to the Imperial Hospital before, so she quickly asked the palace maids to get them for use, hoping that these herbs could help the delivery process go smoothly.

In order to maintain the cleanliness of the delivery room, Yunxi specifically asked them to prepare incense burners and light aromatic herbs to purify the air and create a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

Yunxi went all out to ensure the safety and health of Ye Ling'er and Long'er, and she did not dare to slack off. She focused on every detail, hoping that through her efforts, Ye Ling'er would give birth to Long'er safely and smoothly.

While Yunxi was nervously making preparations, he held Ye Ling'er's hand tightly and said gently but firmly: "Ling'er, don't be afraid, be more forceful, the child will meet us soon..."

When Ye Ling'er saw Yunxi coming, she felt relieved, as if a huge rock had finally fallen from her heart. Although her body was in great pain, she still tried to endure the pain and said weakly, "Sister, I want to see... the emperor..."

Yunxi understood Ye Ling'er's mood at the moment, and she gently patted Ye Ling'er's hand to show her understanding and support. Then she turned around and told Xiao Cui beside her: "Quick, go and ask the eunuch to report this to the emperor."

Xiao Cui nodded her head quickly, then walked quickly to the door and shouted to the eunuch outside, "Xiao Luzi, go and tell the emperor that there is something wrong with the master and ask him to come quickly."

After receiving the order, the eunuch outside the door did not dare to delay and immediately took the order and ran away, rushing all the way to the inner court of the palace.

He knew that this matter was of great importance and that the news must be conveyed to the emperor as soon as possible. Time passed by, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the emperor's arrival.

However, the emperor did not come, and only asked Xiao Luzi to bring back a message: "Your body and hair are given by your parents. I hope you will work hard to give birth to a dragon safely!" Ye Ling'er was shocked when she heard Xiao Luzi's message, and she tried her best...

Finally, as the child's cry of "Wow!" rang out in the palace, Ye Ling'er felt relieved and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

The palace was filled with a festive atmosphere as people rejoiced at the birth of a new life.

The emperor was playing Go with Concubine Mei in Xingqing Palace at this time. The emperor seemed a little absent-minded, but Concubine Mei was very interested. She saw that Xiao Luzi had just come to deliver a message, and the emperor just sent him back with a few words, which showed how much the emperor disliked this demoted concubine.

Although she was happy, she was also a smart woman. She said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't you really want to go and see the newborn dragon?"

"No need for that. This girl has done too many wrong things in the past. I hope her children will not inherit her scheming..." the emperor said with a serious expression.

As he said this, the emperor stared at Mei Yingluo, as if giving her a warning.

The emperor was silent for a moment and then continued, "Concubine Mei, I hope that my harem can be a harmonious place. Do you understand?" He seemed to be hinting at something.

Mei Yingluo was so smart that she immediately bowed and replied, "I understand. From now on, I will live in harmony with the sisters in the palace!"
