C398 Dragon and Phoenix Embryo
Lingyue was muddle-headed. She hid it from Changxu and went to the nun's room to bring the medicine back.
The black medicine swayed in the bowl. Every step was extremely slow.
"What's wrong?"
Changxu's voice came from behind. Lingyue wiped her tears and quickened her pace. She did not turn her head and loudly replied, "This is Your Ladyship's bird nest porridge!"
Changxu looked puzzled but did not think much about it. He went to patrol Mo'an Temple again.
"Bring it over." Mu Ruqing took off her phoenix clothing and neatly placed it on the bed. She was only dressed in plain clothes, with the simplest hairstyle, and only had a white jade hairpin inserted into it.
Lingyue was unwilling and put the medicine on the table and did not move. She turned her head and did not look at Mu Ruqing.
"What, you don't want to recognize me anymore?" Mu Ruqing looked unhappy but her attitude was very reluctant. She had a relaxed tone just to make her not so sad anymore.
Lingyue still did not move.
Mu Ruqing walked over and picked up the medicine bowl. When she picked it up, she was a little hesitant. When she smelled it, she felt a little disgusted.
"Call Changxu over." Mu Ruqing looked up and saw Lingyue. She stood up and said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. I will go and call. Don't cry. It is not good to let people see it. You can go to where your aunt is. Let's see if she is ready. "
Lingyue was originally a little stubborn and did not want to listen to Mu Ruqing's orders now. After thinking about it, she still went to where her aunt was.
Casually calling for the nun outside the room, Mu Ruqing lifted her eyelids, "Send the commander to Bengong."
"Yes." The nun answered.
After a while, Changxu had just entered the courtyard when Mu Ruqing called him to stop.
"Go and tell Yingyu and Yuan Zhen that I'm going to find aunt to do the practice. It's a little long, and it might be evening. I won't chat with them today." Mu Ruqing stood at the door with a very natural expression.
Changxu nodded and walked a few steps. When he turned around, Mu Ruqing had already entered the room. There was a trace of an idea in his heart, but he could not grasp it no matter what. He might as well not think about it.
After waiting for a few minutes, she clearly had to do something that could not be changed. She always had a bit of hope.
He lifted the bowl, frowned, and finished it in one breath.
He drank too quickly, covering his chest and coughing a few times. His mouth was full of bitterness, and it was even more uncomfortable than directly eating bitter melons.
Just as he opened his eyes, his slender hand reached in front of him. He held a date in his hand and said in a magnetic low voice, "It's uncomfortable, isn't it? I knew you wouldn't be able to drink bitter medicine. Come, my husband will feed you."
When she took a closer look, she couldn't see Yu Longchen. It turned out that this was her fantasy.
The medicine slowly slid along the esophagus into her stomach. Mu Ruqing no longer hesitated and did not allow anyone to follow her. She went to the nun's room alone.
When she passed by the temple hall, she gave a simple bow. Because it was originally going to be produced, the amount of this catalyst medicine was not too much and it was a little long before it was effective.
Just as she reached the door, her stomach started to hurt. It was a tearing pain.
Lingyue heard the sound and quickly came out to support Mu Ruqing. Tears flowed down her face but she did not say anything this time, "Aunt, midwife, come quickly!"
The nun and midwife came out and supported Mu Ruqing onto the bed. Just as they laid down, blood flowed out.
Mu Ruqing suddenly grabbed the midwife's arm and used all her strength, "If anything happens to the child, you die!"
"The commoner knows." The midwife also started to panic. Originally, she was only giving birth to the commoners. Her skills were not bad, but now the one lying on the bed was the mother.
Her abdomen was in pain, as if a knife had been stabbed into her stomach. Her internal organs were almost kneaded together.
"Lingyue!" Mu Ruqing forcefully endured the pain. The sweat on her forehead could not stop.
Lingyue knew that she was in pain and also prepared the cotton cloth and placed it in Mu Ruqing's mouth.
Mu Ruqing did not want to make too much noise. If she called out, the Praetorian Guard that was guarding outside would definitely rush in. Then, what she wanted to do would be very difficult.
Lingyue knelt by the bedside and tightly held Mu Ruqing's hand. Her hand was in pain and she did not make a sound.
The nun ordered a few people to bring hot water scissors. Everything in the room was quietly going on.
Only the sound of the midwife's breathing could be heard and Lingyue's sobbing could be heard.
"Her head is coming out!" The midwife's tone was filled with joy. In the blink of an eye, the first child was born.
The midwife passed the child to the nun beside her and started to worry again.
This second child was the hardest to deliver. The mother already used all of her strength after giving birth to the first child, so giving birth to the second child would become more and more difficult.
Mu Ruqing was already exhausted and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Lingyue encouraged Mu Ruqing, "Your Ladyship, the first Little Mistress has come out and there is still a Little Mistress. Your Ladyship must persist!"
Mu Ruqing's eyes were a little misty and did not have any focus throughout the entire process. The pain numbed her nerves and when she wanted to close her eyes, she felt that her stomach was kicked by the child.
She immediately had her spirit and regathered her strength. No matter how hard she tried, it would be very difficult for the second child.
"Your Ladyship, I see the head..."
The midwife's words gave Mu Ruqing motivation.
There was only one sentence in her mind, "This child must be born!"
After the first child was born, she did not cry. In the second that the second child was born, the two children cried. Perhaps it was really a mother-son bond. The two children cried very little. The nun thought that there was something wrong with the child. The midwife said again, "Your Ladyship, the child is very healthy. The little princess is the elder sister. The Little Prince is the younger brother."
The child was wrapped in swaddling clothes and there were intermittent cries.
Mu Ruqing's eyes could not open and her fingers powerlessly hung by the bedside. Her voice was so soft that it could not be heard," Child, let me... take a look. "
Lingyue only heard it when her ears were pressed against her mouth. The nun carried the child over and placed it side by side beside Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing struggled to raise her left hand and her eyes opened a slit. With just one look, her eyelids drooped down.
The child might have felt Mu Ruqing's aura and immediately stopped crying.
"Your Ladyship!?" Lingyue could not control herself and started to cry as she laid on Mu Ruqing's body.
The midwife was a little surprised, "Miss, perhaps Your Ladyship was too tired and fainted."
Only then did Lingyue stop crying and check Mu Ruqing's breath. Although it was weak, there was still some. It was just that her grief did not change at all, "Aunt, prepare hot water. I want to wipe Your Ladyship's body."
"Yes." The nun nodded and left.
The midwife looked at the child and did not know what had happened. She only wanted to flatter him. "The Little Princess and the Little Prince are full in the Heavenly Court. They will definitely have some achievements in the future!"
Lingyue's left hand pulled Mu Ruqing and her right hand pulled the money bag and threw it to the midwife. "After you get out of here, don't tell anyone about what happened here. Otherwise, your entire clan will not be able to save your life."
The midwife took the money bag and from her initial joy, she became somewhat afraid and hurriedly said, "Yes." Thinking of going back to boast with her peers, her heart also dissipated. She bowed again and was taken away by the nun.
The child in the swaddling clothes slowly opened his eyes and turned his head. He looked at Mu Ruqing, who looked like a giant in their eyes and the hand in the swaddling clothes. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the child closer to Mu Ruqing. He reached out his other hand to touch Mu Ruqing.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the child beside him as if he was saying, "This is our mother."
Lingyue could not help but cry from the side.
