Children of Loulan

Chapter 345 The amniotic water broke

Then, she thought for a moment and told the maid, "Put a hot stove in this new room and put a teapot on it to warm a pot of hot tea. The prince will be thirsty at night when he is drunk, and he will have a cup of tea in time when he wakes up." The maid nodded and hurriedly followed her instructions. After everything was arranged, she slowly lay down beside Aidier, closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

However, what she didn't know was that just as she gradually fell asleep, Aidil, who seemed to be in deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes. He first turned his head and stared quietly at the woman who was sleeping peacefully beside him, with a complex and indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Then, his eyes moved to the stove in the middle of the bridal chamber that was emitting a warm atmosphere, and the pot of warm tea on the stove that was still steaming. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he gently turned around, facing away from the newly married Princess Xin, and gradually fell asleep.

In the palace, the courtyard under the cover of night seemed particularly peaceful. Xilin stood quietly in the moonlight, looking up at the cunning moon hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold glow.

At this time, a faint fragrance filled her bedroom. Xianggui gently held the fifth prince in her arms, rocked him slowly, and sang a lullaby softly, trying to coax him to sleep. However, the little guy was restless, twisting his little body from time to time, blinking his eyes, and curiously looking at everything around him.

At this moment, Aunt Kui gently opened the door and walked in. When Xianggui saw her, she immediately showed an anxious look on her face, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Aunt, please go and see the queen, she has been standing outside for a long time! Although it is spring now, the night is still very cold!"

Aunt Kui nodded slightly to show that she understood, then quickly walked to the bedside, glanced gently at the Fifth Prince who was being coaxed by Xianggui, and whispered, "Okay, I got it, you have to coax the Fifth Prince well and let him go to sleep early." After that, she turned around, took a thick cloak from the hanger, and walked hurriedly out the door.

When Aunt Kui came to the yard, she saw Xilin's figure looking a little thin and lonely under the watery moonlight. She quickened her pace and walked forward, carefully draped the cloak in her hand over Xilin's shoulders, and said with concern: "My lady, it's late at night and the wind is getting colder. Let's go back to the house!"

After hearing what Aunt Aoi said, Xilin sighed and responded, "Well, I understand."

Then, she turned around, looked at Aunt Kui who was worried, smiled slightly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Aunt, I'm really fine. After tonight, everything will be easy from now on." After that, her eyes were cast towards the deep night sky in the distance again, as if there was hidden the endless feelings in her heart

Aunt Kui remained silent. She knew Xilin's innermost thoughts and the pain she was suffering. The king had originally said that he would come to accompany Xilin today, but surprisingly, Xilin refused without hesitation.

Time flies, and it is already March, the earth is back to spring, and the flowers are blooming. At this time, Hanguli is about to give birth. In order to ensure the safe birth of the first grandchild of the royal family, the queen mother took great pains to personally select and arrange experienced midwives, attentive and thoughtful wet nurses, and skilled imperial doctors, who moved into the East Palace long in advance.

On this morning, the sun shone softly in the courtyard. Hanguli had just finished her breakfast and took a short rest before she carefully supported Dar and walked slowly to the courtyard. It turned out that the midwife had told her that the closer she was to giving birth, the more she should walk around, which would be very beneficial for the birth.

Therefore, after entering the third trimester of pregnancy, Hanguli insisted on walking for about two hours every day. During this period, the midwife in charge of the delivery and the imperial physician who was by her side always followed her closely, not daring to slack off. They kept an eye on Hanguli's physical condition at all times so that they could respond to any possible emergencies at any time.

Just when she had been gone for less than half an hour, she suddenly felt a strange sensation rising from her legs, followed by a warm current like a spring. Instinctively, she lowered her head to look, but what she saw made her blush - she saw a puddle of water under her feet, and her originally neat skirt was now completely soaked.

Seeing this, Hanguli blushed with shame, wondering if she had lost control of herself and had urinated. Just as she was panicking and about to ask Dal to help her go back and change into a clean dress, the expressions of the imperial physician and midwife who had been following her suddenly changed. They hurriedly stepped forward to carefully check what had happened.

Hanguli looked embarrassed, and stammered with a bit of embarrassment and shyness: "That... that... I really don't know what's going on. I'd better go back to my room and change into a dry dress, and then go out for a walk!"

However, the experienced midwife seemed quite anxious at this time, and hurriedly spoke out to stop them, saying: "My Lady Crown Princess, in my opinion, this is not an ordinary condition, but your amniotic fluid has broken! Do you have any other special feelings now? Do you have a stomachache?"

As soon as she said this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and Hanguli was stunned. You know, women experience excruciating pain during childbirth, but at this moment, she was clearly about to give birth, and the amniotic fluid under her body had broken, but her body did not feel the legendary pain at all. This was too weird and too abnormal!

Hanguli looked at the experienced midwife in front of her with a bewildered look on her face. She shook her head desperately and stammered, "No... no, I really don't feel any pain at all!" The fear in her heart surged like a tide and quickly drowned her.

Hanguli shuddered at the thought of the possible consequences of this abnormal situation. She stared at the midwife with wide eyes and horror, her voice trembling slightly due to extreme nervousness: "I...what's wrong with me? Why can't I feel any pain even though my water has broken? Is there...is there something wrong with my baby?"

The midwife knew that the situation was urgent. If the Crown Princess could not be calmed down as soon as possible, the subsequent delivery would be in trouble. So she took a deep breath and tried to make her tone calm and gentle: "Don't panic, Madam. It's not uncommon for amniotic fluid to break prematurely without any pain. Don't worry, there are old servants here to serve you, and the imperial doctors are on standby at any time. They will definitely make sure that you and the little prince are safe!"

After patiently comforting Hanguli, she turned around and shouted to the guards following closely behind her: "Quick, quick, quick! Bring the sedan chair over quickly and escort the queen back to the palace first!" With this shout, the guards who had been standing quietly by the side quickly took action, and skillfully and orderly carried the gorgeously decorated, spacious and comfortable sedan chair in front of Hanguli.
