Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Shen Jingyi's contractions came in waves like the tide.

Whenever the pain subsided a little, she would take the time to close her eyes, trying to rest for a moment in the brief gap.

However, after a while, I would be awakened by even more intense pain.

She moaned weakly, beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, and her whole body seemed to be soaked in water.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the two midwives came in one after another to check on Shen Jingyi.

Although their movements were skillful, Shen Jingyi's eyes could see a hint of uneasiness.

As time went by, Shen Jingyi felt his strength slipping away every second.

A sense of alarm rose in her heart: This didn’t feel right.

If I continue like this, the child will not be born safely.

In her thoughts mixed with extreme fatigue and labor pains, she slowly recalled everything that happened today.

Suddenly, she thought of a difference, the cup of white tea, the cup of white tea she drank in the servants' courtyard.

Her heart suddenly shook. Despite all her precautions, something went wrong in the end.

"Qiuju," she whispered with a slightly trembling voice, "When the two midwives come to check, you have to keep an eye on them to see if they have done anything wrong. I feel like there's something wrong with me."

When Qiuju heard this, she was stunned for a moment and immediately became nervous.

She hurried to Shen Jingyi's side, sat down and felt her pulse, but she couldn't see anything, and became even more anxious: "Concubine, I... I can't see anything abnormal, are you too nervous?"

"I don't know," Shen Jingyi responded with difficulty, trying to stay calm, "but my body feels very strange, and I am getting weaker and weaker.

My strength is slowly draining away, and this feeling is definitely not normal."

Her voice gradually became lower and it seemed that she almost had no strength to speak.

"Concubine, please hold on for a while. The imperial physician will be here soon. They should be able to find a solution."

Nanny Qin said anxiously beside her.

Just then, the door of the room was gently pushed open and Midwife Xia walked in.

Shen Jingyi's heart tensed up instantly. He stared at her, trying to appear natural.

Qiu Ju stood up quietly at the side, watching the midwife's actions vigilantly.

Midwife Wang had a gentle expression. She carefully examined Shen Jingyi's condition, asked about the intervals between the pains, and recorded every detail.

Then she whispered, "Don't worry, Concubine, it will be done soon." Then she left the room.

Qiu Ju breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head at Shen Jingyi, "That's no problem."

Shen Jingyi nodded, but she was still alert in her heart, and then she ordered: "Mammy, go get a ginseng, cut it into slices and bring it in."

"Yes," Nanny Qin responded and walked out quickly.

Another wave of pain came, and Shen Jingyi couldn't help but groan softly. Just when the pain was slightly relieved, midwife Wang came in again.

She looked concerned, yet somewhat unpredictable.

Qiuju immediately became alert. She first checked her cervix and then touched her belly.

Suddenly, Qiu Kui's pupils shrank and she grabbed midwife Wang's hand.

He asked loudly and sternly, "What are you doing?"

Midwife Wang was startled and looked at Qiu Ju in astonishment. She hurriedly explained, "I am just helping the concubine check her belly. Don't think too much about it."

"You're talking nonsense, I clearly saw you pressing on two acupuncture points.

Don’t think I don’t know the functions of those two acupoints!

Even an ordinary healthy person would feel sore and weak all over if pressing those two positions too much.

Not to mention, she's still giving birth to a child!"

Midwife Wang's face changed slightly, obviously she didn't expect Qiu Ju to know this.

She tried to hide her panic and said calmly: "Girl, you misunderstood, I am helping the concubine relax."

But Qiu Ju didn't buy it at all, her eyes became more fierce, "You don't admit it, right?"

Qiu Ju became more and more angry as she spoke, so she just raised her hand and slapped her a few times.

The midwife was unable to react for a moment. She only felt a burning pain on her face, with shock and anger in her eyes.

However, Qiu Ju had no intention of stopping.

Her heart was filled with worry about Shen Jingyi and the child. Looking at the hypocritical face of Midwife Wang, she seemed to see a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

So she suddenly kicked Midwife Wang in the stomach with such force that it was unimaginable.

Midwife Wang immediately let out a scream, leaned back, and fell heavily, knocking over the table in the middle of the room. With a "crash", the cups and teapots on the table all fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The commotion inside attracted everyone's attention. Chuntao, Xiazhu and others didn't care about anything else and immediately pushed the door and ran in.

"What happened?"

Chuntao asked loudly and nervously, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

However, when they saw Midwife Wang falling to the ground, holding her stomach and crying "Ouch, ouch", they were all stunned.

Qiuju looked at the midwife lying on the ground with an expression that looked like she wanted to kill her.

"Tie her up for me."

"What's wrong? This is..." Although Chuntao was asking, she believed Qiuju.

So, he took a few people and pressed Midwife Li to the ground without hesitation, and tied her up with a belt.
