EBE Chapter 402 Gao Yunzhi's Childbirth
Chapter 402 Gao Yunzhi's Childbirth
“Your Highness, this old woman’s illness has dragged on for many years and is deeply rooted. I really cannot guarantee that I can cure her.”
Lin An's tone was slightly heavy.
"I will do my best to calm her down and prescribe some calming medicine. As for how well she recovers, that's up to fate."
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly.
He then took out paper and pen from his medicine box, wrote down a prescription, and gave some instructions on how to take the medicine.
After he left, Qin Jiuwei turned to look at Li Mama, whose eyes were vacant, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Is Xie Yanli's background really unusual?
What lies behind this, and how much remains unknown to the public?
-
The eldest princess's mansion.
The mansion was in a state of tense chaos, with maids rushing in and out, carrying clean cloths and hot water, their expressions flustered.
Inside, Gao Yunzhi lay on a carved couch, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
She gripped the curtain by the bed tightly with both hands, her lips bitten until they turned white.
The contractions came in waves.
Her breathing became more and more rapid, and she couldn't help but let out a low groan of pain.
The midwife stayed by her bedside, constantly comforting her.
"Your Highness, just a little more patience, it's almost here! Just push a little harder, the baby is about to come out!"
Gao Yunzhi frowned, each exertion nearly exhausting all her strength.
His gaze gradually began to wander.
Outside, Qin Jiuwei, Xu Liuer, and Jiang Yunzhu stood with their eyes fixed on the room.
"what--"
One scream after another came from inside the house.
Qin Jiuwei gripped her sleeves tightly with both hands, her face filled with worry, her heart clenching even more.
Jiang Yunzhu stood behind her, her face pale.
"Why hasn't it been born yet...?"
Xu Liuer turned to look at her, her voice softening: "Don't worry, the princess will be alright."
Jiang Yunzhu, however, could not calm down and said through teary eyes, "But...but she had such a hard time giving birth. Is childbirth always this hard?"
Xu Liuer nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, but gently held her shoulder.
I waited anxiously for another fifteen minutes.
Suddenly, a loud, clear cry came from inside the house.
The three people under the corridor almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions instantly easing somewhat.
"Mother and daughter are safe! Mother and daughter are safe!"
The midwife then relayed the news, her voice filled with joy.
Upon hearing the news, the three of them hurriedly headed into the house.
Xu Liuer pushed open the door first and saw Gao Yunzhi lying on the couch, panting heavily.
Sweat and tears of exhaustion still clung to the corners of his eyes.
Qin Jiuwei walked quickly to the bedside, picked up a clean cloth from the side, and gently wiped the sweat from Gao Yunzhi's forehead.
She was very careful, afraid of hurting the other person.
She looked into her eyes and said gently, "Mother and daughter are safe. Yunzhi, you are a mother now. You have given birth to your child."
Gao Yunzhi raised her head, looked weakly at Qin Jiuwei, and forced a smile.
Xu Liuer, standing to the side, picked up the swaddled baby with gentle and skillful movements.
Carefully adjusting the corners of the swaddling clothes.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the baby carefully and said with a smile, "This child really looks like a princess. Her eyes and nose are exactly the same. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
Xu Liuer carried the child to Gao Yunzhi's bedside.
She bent down and handed the child to Gao Yunzhi, saying softly, "Princess, look, this is your child."
Gao Yunzhi lowered her head to look.
The baby in the swaddling clothes had a rosy face, eyebrows that were faintly outlined like a crescent moon, and eyelids as thin as cicada wings.
Gao Yunzhi's eyes gradually welled up with tears.
This is her child, her bloodline, a part of her.
Jiang Yunzhu really liked the child, so she moved closer to the bedside.
She rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the baby in swaddling clothes, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
"Princess, have you thought of a name for the child?"
Gao Yunzhi leaned against the bed, her voice weak: "Let's call her... Wanzhi."
Gao Yunzhi, Gao Wanzhi.
Qin Jiu lowered her head slightly and gently extended her finger.
She gently tapped the child's cheek and said softly, "Wanzhi, our little Wanzhi~"
As they were talking, the baby's eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened slightly.
Their expressions also became more vivid.
She looked at the face that was getting closer, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Then, she waved her little hand and giggled.
Inside the palace.
Gao Xian was sitting in the imperial study reviewing memorials when Yuan Xi stepped forward to report.
"Your Majesty, the Princess has given birth smoothly, and both mother and daughter are safe. The princess is named Gao Wanzhi."
Gao Xian's eyes immediately lit up, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Really? My eldest sister has given birth to a daughter!"
During this period, Gao Xian was always gloomy and depressed. Now, his eyebrows relaxed and his facial contours became much softer.
He immediately ordered, "Someone, convey the imperial decree: bestow upon Gao Wanzhi the title of Princess and the honorary title of Anhe."
With that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Prepare the carriage, I want to go see my niece in person."
The eunuchs behind him quickly followed.
He had just reached the entrance of the main hall when a young eunuch rushed over and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has summoned you, saying it is of great importance."
Gao Xian paused in his steps.
