Chapter 11: Reluctantly bound by fame and fortune, but resigned to love

One month, one month, Xinyue passed it safely under the daily fumigation of moxa, and the eight-month limit was getting closer day by day.It was the day when the doctor entered the palace again, Xinyue waited early in the main hall, hoping that this time she could wait for good news.

The doctor hurried to the hall and sang to Xinyue.

"What's the matter, is there a way?" Xinyue asked anxiously.

"I have prepared a new dose of medicine, which can last for a few more months, but it is hard to say whether it will last full term. The medicine is new, and its efficacy is unknown."

"Eight months are almost over. If you persist for another seven months, you will be full term. No matter whether it works or not, I have to try first." Xinyue's brows were filled with worry, and even her words were full of worry, "I talked to you before. Is it possible to find the calamus of the Nine Festivals?"

The doctor nodded, "His Royal Highness sent people to search for a long time, and just got two strains. His subordinates tested many times to find out the correct dosage and added them to the new medicine."

"Good over there." Xinyue's brows relaxed slightly, and she ordered Zisu to boil the medicine before delivering it.

The doctor took out three elixirs, "Princess, the situation is getting more and more critical now, and it is inconvenient for subordinates to enter the palace. If something unexpected happens, taking the elixirs can relieve the emergency for a while, and the minister will not be afraid to enter the palace."

Xinyue took the elixir and put it away, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you for being thoughtful, otherwise, if something happens, I'm just helpless, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it when the time comes."

"The minister is retiring, and the princess can rest at ease." The doctor bowed and left.

The eighth month of safety has passed, and there will be accidents every day in the future, and the probability increases day by day. In addition to the anti-fetal medicine, I took the new medicine twice a day. Although I was extremely worried, I didn't have any abdominal pain, so I gradually relaxed my mind.

Ah Heng often came to visit, and Xiao Yao would sometimes come with her. Even though she still didn't want to see Xinyue, Shaohao still ignored it. It had been two years since the last "accident", but Xinyue still I'm quite used to it and like it. Before I knew it, one month, two months... seven months passed quietly.

"Princess, now that it's been another seven months, you can rest easy." Zisu said while helping Xinyue to wash up.

"Really?" Xinyue asked, "Seven months, isn't that full term?"

Zi Su nodded and replied with a smile: "Isn't it? It's scary to hear what the doctor said. Nothing happened in the past seven months."

"Thanks to the doctor's medicine, otherwise..." Xinyue suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what about today's medicine?"

"My concubine used to dislike the smell of medicine the most, but now she is the most diligent in taking medicine!" Zisu smiled and made a face at Xinyue, "I'll get it now, slave."

Zisu just walked to the door when someone knocked on the door, "Xinyue, are you awake?"

"It's Miss Heng," Zisu hurriedly opened the door and saw Xiaoyao, "Wang Ji is here too, come in quickly."

Ah Heng came in with a bowl of medicine and put it on the table.

Xinyue took a look at the medicine and said, "Sister Lao sent it in person."

"This isn't the usual medicine, we'll talk about it later." Ah Heng pulled Xiaoyao away, and said, "Isn't there something for Xinyue?"

Xiaoyao coyly took out a child's clothes and gave them to Xinyue, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't make this, Mother just asked me to give it to you."

"Such beautiful clothes, thank you Wang Ji, thank you sister." Xinyue finished the clothes and couldn't put it down.

"Don't be surprised, Xiaoyao really loves this little brother." Ah Heng said.

Xinyue smiled and said: "How could it be. By the way, this medicine..."

Ah Heng didn't seem to hear, she sat down to drink tea by herself, and said to Xiao Yao after a while: "Yao'er, you go out first, I have something to talk to Xinyue."

Xinyue also sat down and asked, "What is the important thing?"

"Is it full term?" Ah Heng asked.

"Yes, just full term."

"I have studied medical skills, and taking a large amount of oxytocin at one time will cause great harm to the body, so take a small amount for a period of time first, and then increase the amount slightly, so as to reduce the damage."

Xinyue clutched her stomach, and couldn't help worrying, the fetus was unstable, and it took a lot of effort to last until today, and the use of oxytocin drugs may be... But the reason for this is absolutely unspeakable, "This...isn't it... Do you have to take it before delivery? Isn’t it dangerous?”

"Don't worry, this amount is not enough to induce labor. It will take more time to trigger the effect of the medicine." Ah Heng said confidently, "Besides, there is me, so don't worry."

"Well, I don't worry if I have a sister." Xinyue still forcefully took the medicine with a smile, and told herself that nothing would happen, she won the game of fading out, and this one is still fine!But as soon as the medicine was ingested, her stomach began to ache. After Xinyue drank all the medicine, she suddenly burst into severe pain, and she couldn't help crying out: "Ah——pain—"

Ah Heng panicked and hurried to help her, but just as she stretched out her hand, Xinyue fell to the ground.

Zisu and Xiaoyao rushed in when they heard the cry, they were at a loss when they saw this situation, they just helped Xinyue onto the bed.

"Zisu...go and ask..." Xinyue resisted the pain and said, "go and ask the doctor...quick!"

Zi Su was so frightened that she couldn't help crying, "Yes, yes." Then she ran out quickly.

Ah Heng didn't expect this to happen, and she was flustered, "Xiao Yao, go to the main hall to find Shaohao, let him come no matter what!"

Xiaoyao responded and ran out.

Xinyue took out a pill in a hurry, took it immediately, and then smiled at Ah Heng, "Sister Heng, I'm fine."

"What kind of medicine is this?" Ah Heng asked.

"I'm sorry..." Xinyue's voice weakened, "I lied to you. In fact, the fetus has been unstable these days. This is the medicine given by the doctor just in case, and it can last for a while."

"Don't forget about these, how do you feel?" Ah Heng said while infusing spiritual power to Xinyue, "They will be here soon."

Xiaoyao ran to the gate of the hall, but the guards refused to let him in, saying that His Majesty was discussing something, and ordered no one to let in and no one to disturb him.

"Daddy!" Xiaoyao yelled, but there was no response, so she had no choice but to force her way in, but the guards still prevented her from entering.

Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold, and she shouted: "Get out of here!" The guards were shocked by Xiaoyao's tone, and Xiaoyao took the opportunity to rush in.She hastily ran to Shaohao's side, completely ignoring the ministers in the hall, and only whispered in Shaohao's ear: "Something happened over there!"

Shaohao had no expression on his face, he nodded slightly, and then said to several ministers discussing the state affairs: "You guys go back first, this matter will be discussed at another day."

Seeing that Shaohao didn't seem to get up, Xiaoyao dragged the others and walked out.

"Xiaoyao, what's the matter?" Shaohao asked in a calm tone, as if he didn't intend to go.

"I don't know the details, mother told me to let you go, anyway, it's urgent." Xiao Yao dragged Shaohao and ran all the way, and when they arrived in the hall, they saw the doctor and Zisu just arrived in a hurry.

The doctor Tan Xinyue felt something was wrong with her pulse condition, but she just pretended not to know, "My concubine's fetal gas has moved for some reason, I'm afraid she will give birth prematurely."

"Go ask Mrs. Wen to come here." Shaohao ordered, without any haste in his words.

The dormitory immediately became busy, and not long after, several old ladies rushed over under the leadership of the maids, and only hurriedly saluted Shaohao before entering the inner room.

"Shaohao, Xiaoyao, it's inconvenient for you to stay here, you should go out first, I'm here." Ah Heng said while holding Xinyue's hand tightly.

The doctor gave Xinyue the pill to unseal the seal, and seeing that Mrs. Wen had arrived, "The humble official is waiting outside too." After that, he went out.

Xinyue's face was pale, with huge beads of sweat slipping from her forehead, as if she couldn't bear the pain, she just held onto Ah Heng's hand tightly, as if holding the last straw in her hand.She just felt pain, just screaming, and couldn't listen to what Wen Po said.

Shaohao stood outside the door, did not cast spells, but admired those peach trees with great interest, while waiting for some news.

Hearing the shouts, Xiaoyao frowned. She didn't like Xinyue, but she didn't hate her. On the contrary, she liked her unborn brother or sister very much, and even if she hated her, she didn't want her to die.Xiao Yao tugged at Shaohao's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Daddy, are you all right?"

"We'll find out later." Shaohao replied unhurriedly.

At this time, a woman came out of the palace with a tense expression, "Your Majesty... the princess is weak in physical strength and spiritual power, and she has lost too much blood..." She trembled as she spoke, "It is difficult to give birth now..."

Xiaoyao let out an "ah" and covered her mouth with both hands.

"Protect the child." Shaohao said these three words calmly, and waved his hand to signal her to go down. He was still standing with his hands behind his back, but at this moment he no longer looked at the tree, but raised his head slightly to look at the sky, with a smile on his lips, that It's a helpless smile, more like irony - he will push his child to his lonely road with his own hands.

The woman understood what Shaohao meant, and hurried in again, "Your Majesty said to protect the child!"

"What?" A-Heng was a little angry, and suddenly burst out laughing, "As expected, he is still him!" He said that he lost his spiritual power to Xinyue to help her give birth, regardless of whether his body could bear it.

Xinyue panted and said to Ah Heng: "Sister... don't worry about me, child... save the child..."

"You're all going to be fine!"

"I know that my spiritual power...is low, and I'm saving one life for another...so, save the child first..." Xinyue looked at Ah Heng, her voice became softer and softer, only her sincere eyes became more and more burning.

Ah Heng nodded, "Alright, don't worry, the child will be fine."

"Princess, try harder!" Wen Po said over and over again.

Xinyue bit her lips tightly and exhausted all her strength. "Ah——" and "Wow——" two voices sounded at the same time.

"It's born, it's born!" Wen Po also breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Princess, it's a little prince!"

Xinyue didn't have much strength anymore, "It's great, my wish has come true." She tried hard to laugh, but she couldn't do it, so she only mentioned a vague arc.

"Xinyue, hold on!" Ah Heng continued to give her the little spiritual power left, the blood on his face was gone, and his body felt a little weak.

"Sister, don't worry about me, this is the best choice, besides, I don't have the extravagant hope of living." Xinyue's spirit is like a thread, and life is like a meteor about to fall, which may fall at any time. "I have one last thing to do, please...let me meet Shaohao, I want to ask him for a word at the end..."

Ah Heng hesitated for a while before letting go, "Okay." She turned around and wiped away her tears, and went out the door.

Wen Po had already come out to announce the good news, but Shaohao still stood there with no joy on his face, until he saw A-Heng coming out, he showed a little shame, "A-Heng..."

Ah Heng didn't look at Shaohao, just sighed and said: "Go and see her, I still have a few last words to explain."

Even though A-Heng lost her spiritual power to keep Xinyue safe for the time being, she knew best that death is like a lamp drying up, and now she has run out of lamp oil and is burning herself.She said she wanted to take revenge, and it seemed that she couldn't do it, but she didn't feel regretful, because her own death could make the child's life better, it's just...

"Speak." Shaohao walked to the bedside, speaking coldly as usual.

"I hate you so much...I hate you so much that I want to kill you."

Shaohao sneered, "I know."

"But now..." Xinyue took a few breaths and continued: "I can't hate anymore, how sad it is to remember hatred when a person is dying...I don't want to make myself sad for the rest of my life."

"If that's what you're going to say..."

Knowing that Shaohao was impatient, Xinyue quickly interrupted him, "Son, I will be just like you, even if you hate me, even if you don't like him, you can't bear to see him like this... You know this kind of pain best..."

Shaohao remained silent, his gaze drifted away.

"You will feel more pity for him, won't you?" Xinyue said with a smile, "In this way, I can go there with peace of mind."

"You can rest assured that no matter what, he is my flesh and blood, and I will take good care of him."

"And... one last thing... please... please don't hurt their lives no matter what." Xinyue stared at Shaohao, as if she could only feel relieved when she saw him nodding.But, he didn't!

"Do you really want to see me die with hatred, and see us all die before you are reconciled?" She widened her eyes, "You are so cruel..." Then she closed her eyes in despair and waited for the last moment to come .But just at this moment, her hand was held, and a burst of spiritual power poured into her body. "Why, won't you let me die? Or are you not going to agree? In fact, whether you agree or not, I will die... Please give this to the child." Xinyue took out a piece of ice jade.

"My child will never be like me!" he said, something rolling in his eye.

"Aren't you worried that I will harm you in the future?" Xinyue was very puzzled, she didn't understand why he would abandon her, save an enemy, save an enemy who wanted to kill him!

She didn't know why she was doing this at the moment, and she even wanted her to die just a moment ago, and she didn't know why she was moved.Really just can't bear the child?Or Ah Heng's resentful gaze?However, he has saved her now, and one day in the future, he will kill her with his own hands, or die at her hands.He felt a contradiction he had never had before, but in the end he still decided to save her.Shaohao took out the jade, "Hold it in your mouth." He put the jade into Xinyue's mouth, and kept giving her spiritual power.

Xinyue wanted to say something, but her eyelids became heavier and darker, her eyes blurred, then she fell into darkness, and then she didn't know anything.
