obsequious

"Strive hard! Work hard!" the midwife kept shouting in Meiqing's ear.

She was covered in cold sweat, her hand holding the bed sheet had been loosened, her stomach was throbbing, and she had no strength left.

Xu An stood outside the door with a cold face, and an old doctor with a white beard stood beside him and said, "If you don't come out again, I'm afraid the mother and child will be lost!"

He felt restless, "Don't talk nonsense, I want a child, and that woman must not die!"

"Master Xu, please allow this old man to come in and have a look."

Xu An frowned: "It's ridiculous! How can you..."

"My lord! Human life is at stake, not to mention that this old man is nearly seventy years old."

Xu An waved his hand and said angrily: "Go quickly, if this woman dies, I will demolish your medical office!"

"Do your best and listen to the fate. This girl is depressed and has no desire to survive. If the fate is not good, it will be in vain for my lord to tear down the Imperial Medical Office."

"you……"

"My lord, please promise to use cesarean section if necessary."

"What's the meaning?"

"The fetal position is not correct, and the child is taken by caesarean section."

Xu An almost immediately retorted, "No way!"

"Cesarean section has been performed since ancient times, and it may take several months to create and reunite, and the mother and child will be safe. If adults hesitate, they may lose both mother and child."

Xu Anong frowned, walked back and forth a few steps before saying: "Go!"

The old doctor walked in quickly with a medicine box in hand, first sent away the maids and midwives around, and then cut Meiqing's pulse.

With a sad expression on his face, he clenched Meiqing's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face, and lowered his voice to call: "His Royal Highness!"

Meiqing was in a trance, suddenly her whole body trembled, and said in a barely audible voice: "Uncle Song, is that you?"

The old lady wiped her tears with her cuff, "The humble minister is incompetent, the humble minister is incompetent..."

Meiqing murmured: "Help... my child..."

"The minister is so heartbroken! Please listen to the minister's words, the princess, or you can escape from the clutches."

……

Meiqing drank a bowl of Mafeisan, her consciousness was blurred, she suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying, she wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't.

I didn't know when I woke up, but I felt the pain in my abdomen was unbearable, and the pain on my cheek was even more burning.

Xu An sat on the edge of her bed, looking at this thin and slender woman. She had wounds on her face and abdomen, and she was as weak as a camellia, which might wither at any time.

He is a little confused, is it too cruel to use all means to deal with a weak woman who has no strength?

Her father is dead, mother and concubine are dead, and her eyes are also blind, so why do I want to have trouble with her?Is it really because of her sister?

He shook his head, knowing in the deepest part of his heart that it wasn't.He really only wanted revenge at first, but he accidentally discovered that he had other thoughts about this woman-even greedy.

He couldn't forgive himself for his unreasonable feelings, so he could only torture her constantly, and then told himself that he didn't care at all.

He is making trouble with himself!He, Xu An, read the sage's book in vain!

He stretched out his hand to caress Meiqing's withered and yellow face, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.

Meiqing was startled, and immediately knew it was him, struggling to shrink back.

"Don't move!" He yelled, clutching her hand.

"You...what exactly do you want?" Meiqing wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I……"

"Where is my child? Is it a boy or a girl? Where did you hide it?" She was so angry that her eyes turned red when she thought of the child, and her voice choked up.

"It's my son, don't worry..."

Meiqing smiled, "Son...well...let me touch him, okay? He must be very small and soft, his mother hasn't hugged him yet..."

"Joe Yu!"

"Please don't... don't hurt him..." She put her hands on the bed and wanted to get up.

Xu An hurriedly held her down, "Don't move, you have wounds on your abdomen." Looking down, she saw blood oozing from her thin blouse, panicked, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

"I can't live anymore, Mr. Xu." She clutched her lower abdomen, as Imperial Physician Song had told her, nothing would break or stand.

After drinking that medicine, even though he won't die, life is worse than death for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense, I will never let you die!"

Meiqing forced a smile, and tears welled up in her eyes, "I know you still don't plan to let me go...but...even Lord Yan can't stand it anymore, and wants to come and take me away."

She suppressed the smile on her face. In her life, as a human being, as a princess, and as a prostitute, she has never cried heartily. Why did she force herself to smile when she was dying?

The autumn rain beat plantains outside the window, and she remembered the past, sobbing and crying.Xu An stared blankly at her who was crying into tears, the leader of the world's [-] counselors, who was at a loss because of a woman.

Her tears were sticking to the broken hair at the temples, and her withered and yellow face was flushed with sobs.

He couldn't help but reach out to wipe away tears for her.

"Xu... Mr. Xu... I want to ask you one thing... I want to serve you..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito.Xu An's heart was pierced by a knife, and he leaned his ear to her lips, wanting to hear what she had to say.

"Damn me, you'll be fine, of course your son will have to be raised by you..."

Meiqing moved her lips, but she couldn't say a word. She thought that people would really have hallucinations before death, and wondered whether when the concubine mother died, she was thinking that the children had already escaped.

"I, Qiao Yu, hate to die with you..." She suddenly smiled, then, with all her strength, she suddenly raised her hand and stabbed a poisonous needle into Xu An's neck...
