Outside the Changle Palace, the civil and military officials stood in the snow, looking forward to it.
He prayed silently for Princess Chang Le!
May the qilin son be born safely!
They had already placed their hopes on that child!
This wait lasted for more than two hours, until midnight.
Chang Le's moans were getting weaker and weaker.
Counting the time, it had already been nearly twelve hours. The child should be born!
Can Chang Le's body still hold on? Li Shi Min couldn't help but worry.
Empress Zhangsun was also waiting at the side. She handed a heater to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. It's been so many hours, and the child is about to be born.”
Empress Zhangsun comforted her softly. She looked at Princess Changle but was uncertain.
Her voice was already extremely weak!
Why hasn't the child been born yet?
There was silence outside Changle Palace!
Only the sound of the wind and snow whistled past everyone's ears!
At this moment…
Inside the bedroom.
Princess Chang Le lay on the soft couch weakly.
Her face was pale, and her entire body was covered in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Under the bed, blood-stained liquid was scattered.
Her hands gripped the bedsheets tightly, enduring the pain in her abdomen. She did not even have the strength to take a deep breath.
He was barely able to hold on by relying on his willpower.
"Your Highness, inhale! The child is about to come out."
The midwife wiped the sweat off Princess Chang Le's face, then pulled the curtain and prepared to deliver the baby.
She was shocked when she saw it.
"This…Her Highness the Princess is still alive!”
How could the midwife not be surprised?
Only husband and wife could have children, but Princess Chang Le's situation was completely beyond the midwife's knowledge!
"I didn't expect Her Highness to be so pure that she gave birth to a Heavenly Son!”
The midwife exclaimed in her heart. She was filled with respect and devotion to the child that was about to be born.
She did not dare to be careless. This was a Saint Child. It was her honor to be able to touch him personally!
The more the midwife thought about it, the more excited she became.
At this moment…
Princess Chang Le suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain.
Her voice was in so much pain that it tore apart as she groaned hysterically.
"Little guy, please come out quickly. Mother can't hold on much longer.”
Princess Chang Le sobbed. Her entire body was like a puddle of mud, and she could barely muster any strength.
"It's coming out, it's coming out!"
The midwife's hands trembled as she reached out.
Time seemed to slow down.
But the child still did not come out.
Instantly…
The experienced midwife realized something.
Her entire body trembled, and her expression was horrified.
"This…this…how could this be! How did this happen?"
The midwife's face was filled with fear as she kept muttering to herself.
She turned her head and ran out of the delivery room with a twisted expression. She even fell at the door and panicked.
Li Shi Min and the other officials were delighted to see the midwife.
"How did it go? Had Princess Chang Le given birth? Is it a boy?" Li Shi Min asked expectantly.
The midwife shook her head repeatedly. She was so scared that she could not even speak properly. She immediately knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice,
"Your…Your Majesty, Your…Your Highness the Princess, she…she…had a…difficult labor!”
Li Shiming was stunned!
Changle had a difficult labor!
Although Li Shi Min didn't know what a horizontal pregnancy meant, he knew the word 'difficult birth'.
"Tell me…what exactly is a horizontal tire?”Li Shi Min shouted.
The midwife was also scared silly. She kept twitching and couldn't even speak clearly.
Concubine Yang explained,"
"Your Majesty, the so-called horizontal fetus means that the baby's fetal position is not right.
The entire baby was crossed or laid horizontally in the abdomen!
At birth, the baby's head would be on the side of the abdomen, and the shoulders would be exposed first.
In this situation, no matter how hard the mother tried, the child could not be born.”
There was no way to give birth to the child!
Li Shi Min and all the officials were shocked.
Empress Zhangsun's legs went soft and she felt dizzy, almost fainting.
"Why is this happening? Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Zhang had already confirmed that the fetus in Chang Le's stomach was in the right position!”
Empress Zhangsun cried out loud. She had never thought that the meticulous care she had put in for the past seven months would result in a difficult labor!
At this moment, Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Zhang's minds were blank. They knelt in the snow and kowtowed,
"Your Majesty! We had checked Princess Changle's pulse earlier. The position of the fetus was indeed correct!
Even if I had ten guts, I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!”
The two of them cried bitterly. It was too difficult!
She had thought that she had succeeded, but suddenly, she had a difficult labor.
Some of them wanted to die.
"Why are you crying? Quickly think of a way to save me, or I will personally kill the two of you now!”Li Shi Min was furious.
Imperial physicians Sun and Zhang shook their heads,"
"Your Majesty, if it really is a fetus, the two of us can't save it. Mother and son can only choose one.”
"Bastard! You dare to make me choose one of them! I want both. The princess cannot die, and the child must be born!”Li Shi Min grabbed the two imperial physicians and threw them into the snow.
"Midwife, what about you? Is there a way?" Empress Zhangsun asked anxiously.
The midwife prostrated on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed.
"This old servant doesn't have a plan to do both!
If he wanted to save the child, he had to cut open his abdomen to take the child.
If you want to protect the princess, you must cut the fetus into pieces!
If he didn't make a decision, he would lose two lives!”
In ancient medicine, there was no caesarian section. Therefore, in the case of a difficult labor, one could only choose one!
An adult or a child.
Li Shi Min pounded his chest and stomped his feet!
How could this be? How could this be?
All the officials were waiting for the birth of the child with anticipation, but now they could only choose one of the two!
The blood in Li Shi Min's body froze instantly, as if it had stopped flowing!
His hands trembled subconsciously!
During the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, he had killed his brothers, and his hands had never trembled.
He had originally placed all his hopes on the child, hoping that the heavens would send down a qilin son! May the snow stop!
However, the current situation!
Li Shi Min was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He made a choice and said,
"Protect the princess as much as possible! Get in there and deliver the baby!"
"If anything happens to Princess Chang Le, I will take your life!”
His daughter, Li Shi Min, chose Princess Chang Le.
All the officials sighed helplessly. They were originally waiting for the qilin son to be born, but they came to take a look first. Sigh…
"Could it be that this is the will of the heavens? Just like this time, we can only choose between the relief of the snow disaster and the expedition to the Western Regions?!”
"What…what should we do?"
All the officials were sad!
The midwife trembled and returned to the delivery room!
At this moment, she could only bite the bullet!
Princess Chang Le was lying on the bed. At this moment, she was exhausted!
Yet, he forced himself to stay awake!
Outside, her father's angry shout and the midwife's fear all entered her ears!
Princess Chang Le touched her belly with trembling hands. Tears fell from her cheeks.
"Son, if I can only choose one, then mother will definitely give birth to you!”
"You're the Qilin son, and the heavens have sent down good fortune! He is also the child that his mother carried for ten months. He must be born safely and bless the prosperity of the Great Tang!”
A mother's love was so great. Princess Chang Le clenched her hands and made up her mind!
Li Er chose Chang Le, and Chang Le chose the child.
The midwife rushed into the delivery room and quickly wiped Princess Changle with a hot handkerchief.
Princess Changle grabbed the midwife's sleeve." Break her belly and take the child! Protect the child! Don't let anything happen to him!"
Princess Chang Le looked at the midwife with a determination that she had never seen before!
The midwife was also moved. Her eyes were red." Princess! Forgive me for not being able to obey! His Majesty wanted to sacrifice his child to protect His Highness!”
Ignoring Princess Changle's wishes, the midwife picked up the scissors with trembling hands and was about to stab the baby that was about to be born.
Li Yu was speechless.
How could he be stabbed to death before he was even born?
As the contractions continued, Li Yu slowly adjusted his fetal position.
The midwife was holding a pair of scissors, her hands trembling as she prepared to stab the knife.
At this moment, she saw a shocking scene!
The fetus was moving!
The fetal position slowly returned to normal!
"This…this is amazing! This baby actually moved its own position!”
The midwife had been delivering babies for decades and was experienced, but she had never seen such a magical scene.
It could be said that she was truly shocked. She even wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
After confirming it again and again, the midwife cried tears of joy. She knelt down and shouted,
"It's smooth! It's smooth!"
"Princess Changle's fetal position is in order!"
"This child is really the reincarnation of a god. He can actually turn danger into safety!”
These joyful shouts spread out from outside the hall!
Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun's eyes were filled with disbelief and uncontrollable joy!
The officials also shouted in surprise!
"That's great! The Qilin Saint Child was indeed blessed!”
Amidst the cheers,
Li Yu was finally going to bid farewell to the warm house he had lived in for ten months.
A fair and tender hand reached out first!
