Chapter 230 Birth
When it was getting dark, the wind picked up. In the evening, the small kitchen made Xiaodong's favorite fish fillet bean sprout soup.The fish fillets are smooth and tender, the bean sprouts are fragrant, and it tastes very refreshing.Xiaodong drank half a bowl more, and when he lay down at night, he still felt a little bloated, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Qin Lie asked softly: "Do you want to get up?"

Xiaodong shook his head.

She didn't feel thirsty either, and couldn't sleep for some reason.

Calculation is not yet a day, seven or eight days away.

She couldn't sleep, and Qin Lie couldn't sleep either, the two of them talked quietly.But talking while lying down is not as good as sitting, and I feel dry mouth after a while.

Qin Lie sat up and said, "I'll get you a cup of tea."

When the cup was handed over, Xiaodong slowly sat up while supporting the head of the bed, and took two sips—but he didn’t dare to drink too much.

Stomach is a little tight.

Xiaodong hesitated for a while, just now—did his stomach hurt?

It could also be a feeling of bloating.

Lie down again, after a while, it seems to start to feel faintly tense again.

After falling asleep for a while, Xiaodong woke up in pain.

The kind of pain that can't be described is the feeling of tightness and weight.Moreover, it's not just the stomach ache, it seems that the whole middle part of the body, even the waist, back, and stomach feel that way.

Before dawn outside, Xiaodong turned over, and after a while, the pain really started again.She pushed Qin Lie's shoulder and whispered to wake him up: "I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."

Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know whether it was real or just a dream.

Xiaodong is not the only one who gets nervous, Qin Lie also can't sleep well these days.The more this was the case, the more dreams he had. In one dream, he saw Xiaodong giving birth to two sons, and each held one in his arms, which woke Qin Lie up with a smile.

"My stomach hurts."

Only then did Qin Lie come to his senses, and jumped off the ground with bare feet to call for someone.

There was a commotion outside, and then, the entire palace woke up early.

The pain is not very severe now, and the interval between them is also long.When breakfast was brought, Xiaodong ate a few mouthfuls, and his stomach began to hurt again. When the pain subsided, he ate a few more mouthfuls, and he ate a whole bowl of stewed chicken.

Qin Lie watched Xiaodong eat mouthfuls from the side, and Hu said to him: "My lord, don't worry, the imperial doctor said it's all right. Let's eat something."

Qin Lie picked up the bowl and quickly took a few mouthfuls, not knowing what the food tasted like.As the sky gradually dawned, Wang An also came over to comfort Xiaodong through the door.

"If the princess can sleep, then sleep for a while to nourish your spirit. Looking at the situation, it will take some time."

Xiaodong nodded, Hongfu arranged the pillow, and Mrs. Hu helped her lie down.

Qin Lie was sitting by the door, and whenever there was any movement in the room, he would immediately jump up.Zhao Lu cast a glance at him: "Don't be so startled, don't come back and frighten her."

Qin Lie nodded, and sat back honestly, but after a while there was another noise in the room, and he bounced up again as if being pricked by a needle.

After noon, the pain gradually became more frequent and severe, and Xiaodong couldn't eat, but Hu still persuaded her to eat two pieces of honey cake.She was sweating all over her head and body, holding the cloth belt tightly with her hands, and only moaned slightly when the pain was unbearable.She seemed to have never experienced such pain before, the indescribable pain, her whole body seemed to be stretched into a bow of the full moon, tense.

The woman next to her was talking softly, and the people inside and outside the house were bustling to and fro.

Xiaodong almost didn't feel relieved anymore, the interval of pain was so short - she tried her best not to make a sound, just to prevent her energy from being wasted on useless crying.But the pain itself also consumed a lot of her physical strength, and her whole body was as wet as if she had been fished out of the water.Her eyes were fixed on a point in the sky, but she couldn't see anything.

Mrs. Hu was on the side, talking in a low voice, wiping her sweat and feeding her water.In fact, Xiaodong didn't listen to what she said at all, and couldn't care about anything when the pain came up.

But Hu's voice made her feel safe, no matter what she said.Xiaodong just needs her here, knowing that he is not alone.

But suddenly the pain became severe. Compared with this kind of pain, the previous ones were nothing at all.For a moment, it was as if a knife had stabbed her fiercely, Xiaodong couldn't hold back this time, and yelled out short and sharply.

Feeling distressed and impatient, Mrs. Hu turned her head and asked Mrs. Wen, "What's going on?"

The room was hot, and Mrs. Wen was sweating. She checked it carefully again, and hurriedly said: "It's time, wait a little longer. Princess, you're fast, come on, hold on here, don't put You’ve lost your strength. When I tell you to use your strength, you will do so.”

Xiaodong nodded, she could feel the difference herself.The pain was like a flood that had opened its gates, hitting the sky and covering the ground.The pain was so bad that her breathing became short and irregular.

"Princess, princess, breathe in slowly..."

Xiaodong really wanted to scold her.

She also wanted to slow down, but why did it hurt so much!She inhaled hard, and then spit out slowly... Just now, it could relieve the pain, but now...

Even if someone stabbed her with a knife right now, she wouldn't feel it!

Zhao Lu was pulling Qin Lie outside: "How can you go in? Sit down."

Qin Lie flicked his sleeves: "I can't sit still!"

"What's the use of you going in? What do you know?"

Qin Lie's eyes were red: "As long as Xiaodong sees me, he will feel at ease in his heart."

"Sit down." Wang An raised his hand: "Wait here honestly."

Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, and finally sat down slowly.

"You let go too."

Zhao Lu groaned, and then let go of his hand.

In fact, if you look closely, Wang An's mood is not as calm as he looks.

People rushing in and out of the house, the tense atmosphere in the air, and the intermittent groans coming from the house——

It reminded him of the old days.

When Zhao Lu's mother gave birth, he was not in the mansion, and when he rushed back the next day, the child was born, but the adult's condition was not good.Before Zhao Lu's full moon, his mother left.

When Qingyuan gave birth, he watched over her from beginning to end.Qingyuan's situation was different...

At that time, it was also like this, there seemed to be tiny flames leaping and burning in my heart, and slowly the whole chest was blocked, and I felt palpitations when I heard a little movement inside.

That short moment at that time was as long as a lifetime.He clearly knew that having a baby would kill her.But she must give birth to a child...

Xiaodong is the child she bought with her life.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaodong will also be a mother.

Wang An seemed to be sitting as firmly as Mount Tai, but in the sleeves, his hands were clenched tightly, and his palms were full of cold sweat.
