From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 782
Shaking his head lightly after thinking for a moment, Xiao Qichen said: "I have already written a letter back to Beijing, I believe there will be a reply within two days, just wait and see."

He has legs and feet, so what if he doesn't go to Mei Zhannan?Besides, he is not from the Mei Family Army, he is from the Imperial Guard, and the emperor did not send him to Liangzhou to fight.

Hearing footsteps outside the tent, Ah Si said cautiously: "It's late at night, the commander-in-chief should go to sleep after taking the medicine."

He put out the fire with a wave of his hand, and the two of them lay down and went to sleep.

Due to the lack of auspicious days in the near future, the emperor passed away for nearly two months and was buried at noon on March 28.All the officials mourned the common people to see them off, Mei Xin walked behind the coffin with several princesses, and the paper money all over the sky was floating everywhere like it had snowed, flying all over the sky.

More than eight months pregnant, Mei Xin's legs and feet swelled so badly that she couldn't fit in her old boots at all, and today she was wearing big brother Mei Jinze's cowhide boots when she went out.

The boots are a bit big, and it is very inconvenient and uncomfortable to walk on. In addition, the twins she is pregnant with seem to be bigger than others when they were born. Cardamom and Yuan Muqiu supported her from left to right.

Her feet were swollen like radishes, and the tight flesh made her tingle every step she took, as if her feet were about to explode.

Yuan Muqiu was very worried. Seeing a thick layer of sweat on her forehead, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Xin'er, I can't go anymore, you have to activate it if you go again."

She was born in the army and she clearly knew how much Mei Xin could endure, but now it was different, she was already more than eight months pregnant, and she could give birth anytime, anywhere.

Both feet were tingling like needles, and Mei Xin couldn't move anymore.She stopped and pulled back the arm that was grabbed by Yuan Muqiu, she leaned on Doukou's body and said: "It can't be done, my stomach hurts, quickly hug me back."

There was a faint feeling of falling in her stomach, and she felt that she was about to give birth.

Cardamom was shocked, and hugged her horizontally without saying a word, Yuan Muqiu opened the way, but they rushed out of the crowd in just a cup of tea.

Zifu and the others have been following behind, and when they saw something wrong, they rushed over immediately.Seeing that Mei Xin's face was pale and sweating profusely, she opened her mouth and said, "The carriage is following, go, go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran back, followed by Doukou and others.

Grandma Sun, who had been staying in the carriage, saw it and immediately cleaned the large carriage.After laying out the quilt and putting the pillow on, she took out the big package she had prepared a long time ago and threw the ginseng she brought out into the boiling water pot.

Cardamom is good at martial arts, but after a while, he hugged Mei Xin and got into the carriage.The carriage is wide, so put it down directly. Nanny Sun took off her coat, let her hair loose and said, "Princess, don't be afraid, the first time you give birth to a baby is not so fast, it will take a while. You lie down now , take a breath, don't move, I'll touch the child."

Nodding to show that she understood, Mei Xin looked at Dou Kou and said, "Send someone to tell Uncle so they won't worry."

Cardamom took the order, turned around and got out of the carriage.

Yuan Muqiu was nervous, ran over in a hurry and got into the carriage.Seeing that Nanny Sun had finished groping, she was sure she was about to give birth, so she lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Yunying, "Hurry up, go back to the mansion, and go back and inform Dr. Han that the baby is about to be born."

The words startled everyone, and the expressions of Yunying and the others changed instantly.But they are well trained and don't panic. Those who drive drive, those who ride horses ride horses, and in a blink of an eye they are out of place.

It's about half an hour's drive from Prince Liang's Mansion, and with the fact that all the people in the capital came to see off the emperor's funeral today, the carriage didn't go fast.

Worried about Mei Xin's feet, Yuan Muqiu helped her take off her shoes while Nanny Sun was wiping her sweat.Seeing several blisters on her feet that were very red and swollen, she said: "No, the blisters are too big and must be popped, otherwise it will be a disaster if we touch them in a while."

It takes a lot of effort to give birth, and if you don't pay attention to the pain after a while, it will definitely burst.Therefore, we have to quickly break through the medicine.

Hearing the sound, Nanny Sun turned her head to take a look, handed the kerchief in her hand to Zi Fu, and then quickly took the needle and medicine.

"Xin'er, it hurts a little, bear with it." After speaking, the two cooperated tacitly, and after breaking the blisters, they washed them with spirits, and immediately applied medicine to bandage them.

Her feet were swollen and numb, Mei Xin didn't feel much pain, but as time passed, her stomach became more and more painful.

Hearing her cry out in pain, Nanny Sun massaged her swollen calf and said, "Don't shout, don't shout, the strength will be lost when you shout, and you won't have any strength when you really want to give birth."

Yuan Muqiu has experience, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, you can't scream, you will lose your strength. Xin'er, come on, eat the eggs and eat some pastries, or you won't have the strength for a while."

After speaking, he brought the sliced ​​eggs to her mouth.

The abdominal pain was so unbearable that Mei Xin couldn't eat, but thinking that this was just the beginning, she didn't eat anything today, so she bit the bullet and ate.

When the emperor passed away, as a princess, she must observe filial piety, and she must be a vegetarian during the filial piety.Therefore, there were only pastries and a few hard-boiled eggs in the carriage.

The eggs were dry, and the pastry was even more difficult to swallow. After eating two pieces, Mei Xin shook her head and said, "No, it's too dry, I can't eat it. Let's go back and cook a bowl of plain noodles."

Dumplings with vegetarian stuffing are also fine, and it is easier to eat with soup, and it is also warm to eat some hot soup.

Grandma Sun said yes, Yuan Muqiu lifted the curtain of the carriage to urge Yunying.Seeing that it was not far from the mansion, she turned her head and said, "I'll go back soon when it's almost here, boil the water and cook the noodles, and I can eat it when I get home."

Mei Xin agreed, and Zixue, who was riding beside the carriage, grabbed her with one hand and lifted her onto the horse's back.Hurrying back home, Mei Xin also lay down in the pre-arranged delivery room after everything was ready.

At midnight, there was a commotion in the capital, every family's dog was barking and the torches were lit, dark clouds covered the moon and strong winds blew up, brewing an afternoon of spring rain.

The gate of Prince Liang's Mansion was closed tightly, and eight hundred soldiers of the mansion were waiting in full force. Inside and outside Qing Zhixie, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and no one was allowed to move around at will.

The spring rain was pattering on the glazed tiles like oil, and the sixty soldiers in armor and swords were divided into two teams and stood under the steps of the door.Mei Xin, who had been in pain for several hours, still didn't give birth, not only did she not give birth, but there was no movement at all inside.

This meant that they knew that General Mei could bear it, or else they thought something had happened inside.

Yuan Muqiu was very anxious. You must know that the rebels had attacked the city, and the capital was in chaos. If the city was broken and the child was not born, it would be troublesome.

The pain was almost crazy, Mei Xin took off the veil stuffed in her mouth and took a breath and said: "Cardamom, cardamom, outside, what's going on outside?"

Cardamom stood guard at the door like a door god, and hurried in when she heard the call.
