Chapter 885: I Can Hold Half the Wall for My Son
Shi Anxia was also present when her sister-in-law Wei Cailing gave birth. She would never forget the tragic scene where she narrowly escaped death.
She remembered that the atmosphere was filled with anger and the bunch of maids inside were too busy to handle it.
Everyone was talking at once, telling us to use more effort.
The screams were heart-breaking.
Wei Cailing was not a pampered person, but she could not stand the pain of giving birth.
Shi Yunqi tried to rush into the delivery room several times, but was stopped by the maids. He regretted so much that his eyes turned red, saying that if he had known the danger earlier, what would he do even if he didn't want the child?
Shi Anxia remembered that Madam Meng came out and asked Shi Yunqi, if the danger was so great that they could only save one person, who would they save?
Shi Yunqi panicked and answered without thinking, "Save the master! Of course I will save the master!" He then shouted hysterically, "Ling'er, you have to hold on. You must live, you have to live... It doesn't matter if the child is gone, but you must live!"
The words "You must live" were pleading. It seemed that without her, his future would never be good.
When Madam Wei Mo Wantang heard Shi Yunqi's attitude at that time, she almost knelt down to him.
Everyone knows that after a woman gets married, the most important thing is to have children for her husband's family. Her son-in-law treats her daughter like a treasure, which really shows his affection and love.
That day, Mo Wantang kept holding Tang Chujun and Shi Anxia's hands and kept saying the same thing, "My dear relatives, your son is such a good man. My daughter married the right person."
Then she said, "Xia'er, I am grateful that you have protected my daughter! I am really grateful to you. If she died giving birth today, it would be her fate..."
It was that day that Shi Anxia heard Mo Wantang say that a sorcerer once said that Wei Cailing was destined to die young.
Mo Wantang was heartbroken and desperate, and thought her daughter would die on the night of delivery.
……
Shi Anxia's heart was in turmoil, but she looked at Lady Meng and Liang Yanbing calmly, making up stories to comfort them. "In fact, Mr. Yang Xuan told me a fortune. He said that I have a lucky face, with three stars in a row between my eyebrows. Wenchang governs literary fortune, Wuqu governs military affairs, and Tiantong governs blessings. I think my child will be both civil and military and blessed."
As if to prove the truth of this statement, the little thing in her belly kicked her.
She said "ouch" and laughed, "Look, he kicked me and got proud of it."
Madam Meng was half-believing and half-doubting, "Did Mr. Yang Xuan really say that?"
"Is this true?" The light from the window cast tiny shadows on Shi Anxia's face. Her face was slightly round, her eyes were clear, and she looked like a blessed girl. "If Mr. Yang Xuan hadn't told me, would I have been able to make up such a thing?"
Nothing is impossible! Liang Yanbing thought to herself.
Then An Xia said, "With you here, my sister-in-law and her child are safe. I believe my mother and child can be safe too."
The "son" she mentioned refers to both sons and daughters. In her heart, there is no difference.
First, he encouraged me to relax, and then explained the trade-offs. "If it comes to the point where you have to make a trade-off..."
She gently stroked her bulging belly with her fingertips, and suddenly felt a slight fetal movement, as if the little one in her belly was responding to her.
Shi Anxia's heart trembled slightly, the words rolled around on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back.
Afraid of hurting the child’s feelings!
Shi Anxia originally wanted to say, protect the adults.
She had so many thoughts in a split second. She was a wife, a daughter, and a sister.
If she were gone, many people would be sad.
Moreover, she didn't want the child to be born without a mother, and she didn't want to give birth to a child and cause Cen Yuan to lose his wife.
She knew her position in Cen Yuan's heart. Having a baby secretly without telling him was enough to make her feel sorry for him. If she lost her life because of this, she was afraid that Cen Yuan would vent his anger on her and would not love the baby in her belly.
But at this moment, the living life under her palm made her heart ache. This little life had been with her in her body for ten months, kicking her gently with its feet in the morning, and sticking to her obediently when she touched it.
She was so reluctant that she couldn't bring herself to give up the child.
It was also at this moment that she suddenly understood the two lines of poetry in "Qing Qing Xian Hua", "From now on, I will not be afraid of the fierce wind, I will hold up half the wall for you."
Suddenly, I felt courage in my heart and strength in my body.
Shi Anxia changed the subject, her voice soft but firm, "There is no choice. I believe you two will find a way. I will also do my best to cooperate and will not give up until the last moment."
Liang Yanbing's eyes welled up with tears. "Of course. The princess is a precious lady, blessed by God."
Before she finished speaking, Madam Meng interrupted her, "Stop talking nonsense."
She placed her rough fingers on Shi Anxia's wrist pulse, frowned for a moment, and then slowly relaxed, "The princess' pulse is stable, there is no need to worry. As long as you take the medicine on time and regulate your qi and blood, there will be no danger."
She didn't lie, so she was a hundred times more confident. After a moment of silence, she continued, "If it doesn't work, I'll go to Beijing and invite my master back. I learned all these skills from her."
Liang Yanbing heard this and quickly shook her head, "Don't leave. If you leave, the princess will give birth. I'm not good at this and I'll panic."
Shi Anxia also said, "No need to seek far away. Madam Meng, I believe in you, and you also have to believe in yourself."
In the past, when wives and concubines of princes and ministers gave birth, they all paid a large sum of money to come to Lady Meng for help. It can almost be said that Lady Meng was helpless, because their fate was basically determined and there was no hope for survival.
Madam Meng thought to herself, I don’t even believe in myself, how can you believe in me so much?
It’s just that this kind of unwarranted trust really makes people more confident, as if all difficulties are not difficulties.
This state of mind lasted for several days, but Shi Anxia still showed no signs of giving birth.
Everyone in the mansion was like ants on the hot pan. Tang Chujun held the brush but could not write a single word, and Yu Sujun's paintbrush hung on the rice paper and did not fall.
The two of them simply stayed with Yao Sheng and stayed in Tinglan Courtyard all day to chat with Shi Anxia and relieve her boredom.
Wei Cailing was unable to get out of bed and was still recuperating, so it was inconvenient for him to visit her, but he still sent his personal maid to bring gifts to her every day to greet her.
Shi Yunqi rushed around between three o'clock, busy with the affairs of the Northern Propaganda Department, accompanying and taking care of his wife, and also busy protecting his sister and telling her about the latest news outside.
Since Cen Yuan is not around, he, as her brother, has to be more attentive.
The elders of the Shi family, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and all the people who were on good terms with Shi Anxia were paying attention to the progress of her delivery.
Even the palace gave him supplements every now and then, and sent experienced maids to help the mansion. This was because Emperor Mingde had told Xiao Zhi to take good care of his sister before he went to war, and there must be no mistakes.
"It's already a month late!" The prince put the memorial aside with a headache, sighing and complaining to Eunuch An, "If something happens to my sister, how can I explain to my father and the prince consort at the border?"
