In the fourth year of Zhongping, the sixth day of the fourth month.

The door of the Jiade Hall in the South Palace was closed, and the face of the Han Emperor lying on the dragon couch was withered, ushering in the end of his life.

In the Guardian Palace, Queen He sat on the edge of the couch, holding the palm of the Son of Heaven and wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. In addition to her, the general He Jin, the regular attendant Zhang Rang, the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo, and the two princes all stood in front of the couch, waiting for the last edict of the Son of Heaven.

Outside the hall, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also bowed and waited.

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Lu family in the north of Luoyang City, there were bursts of heart-wrenching pain.

Mother and daughter connected hearts, the little bell heard the cry, sensed that there was danger in the mother's place, and rushed into the house vigorously, and several serving maids saw this.

The little bell who couldn't break through punched and kicked those maids fiercely, and the pear blossoms on her white little face brought rain: "Mother, I want mother!" ”

All kinds of cries in the courtyard were mixed up, and people were confused to hear it.

At this time, there is no one in charge of the house, the old lady of the Yan family is sick and recuperating in Bingzhou, as the eldest brother's squire Yan Li went to the palace early this morning, and has not returned yet, and the general is far away in Youzhou, what to do, what to do!

Song Xian swirled around the yard like an ant on a hot pot.

The general entrusted him with the responsibility of taking care of the house, and at this time, the master mother was suffering very much inside, but he had nothing to do.

I'm so incompetent!

Song Xian's angry fist smashed into the trunk of the tree, and its force was so great that it shook off many pine cones.

Ninety percent of the stable women in Luoyang City called the house, but they were still helpless.

When they came, they all boasted greatly, and there was a stable woman who boasted about Haikou, saying that she had never missed a midwife for decades, and the little son of the Cao family was born safely through her hand a few days ago.

Now, however, basins of warm water dipped in blood came out of the house and poured into the ditch in front of the door, which was shocking to see.

Although the steward of the house is a person who has experienced a lot of storms and big scenes, he also knows six out of seven when it comes to midwifery—he doesn't know anything about it.

Song Xian was going back and forth in the courtyard, and the steward could only watch and be anxious, praying in his heart for the safety of his mother and son.

From early morning to dusk, the loud sound of pain had become hoarse and hoarse.

The people outside were worried when they heard it, but Yan Wei, who was suffering from this kind of pain inside, the pain that was about to tear her apart could be imagined.

An older stable woman came out of the house and walked in front of Song Xian, the expression on her face could be described as indescribable, and she asked sadly: "Song Guard, do you want to protect the big or the small?" ”

Hearing this question, Song Xian's mind sounded with thunder, his eyes widened, and his whole face sank like a monster about to eat people. He grabbed the woman and screamed in pain, but Song Xian didn't care, just roared angrily: "Both of them have to live, if one is broken, you all have to die!" Do you understand! ”

Wen Po was frightened by Song Xian's fierce appearance, and nodded hurriedly, responding fearfully: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Song Xian let go of Wen Po, and watched Wen Po enter the house again in a panic, he prayed in his heart: "Madam, you must not be fine!" ”

If one is broken, he Song Xian will apologize with death.

…………

On the bluestone street of Bac Ninh Street, a gray-clothed doctor with a medicine box and a bag on his back is about to leave the place.

Passing by the door of the Lu family's mansion, he heard the cries of pain coming from the mansion with keen facial features, and he stepped down and went to the mansion.

The doorkeeper did not know him and stopped him.

The doctor who wants to save people's lives will not cause trouble, but just said kindly: "There are people in your house who have difficult births, and if they are not treated in time, they may be in danger of life." ”

When the servant heard this, his hostility subsided considerably, and after he had gone in to take charge of the affairs, he led him into the house.

The healer was led outside, and the voices inside were fading. He didn't say much, and after obtaining Song Xian's consent, he stepped forward directly and leaned outside the house, and asked loudly: "Wen Po, how is the situation now?" ”

Wen Po, who was busy inside, replied anxiously: "Madame has twins in her womb, and both of them are squeezing out and stuck in the pelvis, causing a lot of bleeding, and Madame can't use her strength anymore." ”

"How many hours have you delivered?"

"It's been seven and a half hours."

Yilang learned from Song Xian that Yan Wei had childbirth experience before, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a big risk.

There may be only one reason, and that is to start the tire gas in advance.

But now is not the time to pursue this, it is important to save people, he shouted to the stable woman inside: "You lift Madame on her side, make her lie on her side on the bed, curl up her back, and the other people help to lift Madame's other foot." ”

After instructing Wen Po, the doctor said to Yan Wei again: "Madam, don't be nervous, please relax your whole body, follow my voice, exhale ~ inhale ~ ~ exhale ~ inhale ~~"

In the Jiade Palace, Liu Hong, who was dying, made a final decision.

"I want to set up the prince association as the prince, and after I am buried, he will inherit the throne, and if there is any disobedience, it will be punished with death."

The people present could hear it clearly, Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo were secretly happy in their hearts, but He Jin was unwilling, but he didn't dare to openly disobey, so he could only bow down and respond: "Oh." ”

After explaining this matter, Liu Hong took Queen He's hand and closed his eyes peacefully.

After the hour of the half-pillar incense, just when several people in the hall thought that the Son of Heaven had been mourned, Liu Hong sat up suddenly, stretched out his hand with a red face and grabbed it, his eyes were crazy, and he shouted in his mouth: "The world, my world!" ”

The sound fell to the ground, the palm of the clutched hand froze, and the body that sat up fell heavily on the couch.

The Son of Heaven opened his eyes, his arms drooped, and he was no longer alive.

Wow~Wow~~

At this time, the Lu family's mansion sounded with the cry of a baby.

Wen Po ran out of the house, her face full of joy: "Escort Song, they are two little masters, mother and son are safe, mother and son are safe." ”

Song Xian, who heard this result, couldn't control the emotion in his chest, burst into tears, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt down and faced the direction of Youzhou, and shouted loudly: "Lord, can you hear me?" It's the peace of mother and child, the safety of mother and child! ”

In the Wangqi Bureau, an old man in a gray robe with a white beard walked out of the palace and looked up at the sky.

Tonight, the sky is full of stars.

When the purple star, which symbolized the emperor, crossed the sky, the old man sighed leisurely, he knew what it meant.

Clinker, after the falling purple micro star, two more dazzling new stars rose again, their big and shining, even suppressed the stars in the sky.

The old man looking up at the sky looked stunned, and then burst into tears with excitement, he had been studying the number of stars all his life. He had only seen this kind of vision in ancient books.

"The big man will be prosperous, the big man will be prosperous!"

The old man put his hands to the sky and shouted loudly, and the old tears were all over the place.

Aren't these two imperial stars symbolizing the two royal highnesses?
