On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 197 Why haven't you given birth yet? (Additional Chapter 1)

Not long after Li Chunli turned 15, she slept with Liu Shu, who was younger than her. After they had a child, she was raised in the palace.

Since Li Chunli was just a concubine, calling her "aunt" was already a compliment to her.

"Auntie" is a title only for concubines who are listed in the imperial clan's imperial genealogy. For a maid like Li Chunli, the only nice thing to call her is "little lady". According to the custom, she would just be called "maiden".

If Liu Shu didn't still have some affection for Li Chunli, and she was the only woman around Liu Shu, the midwife would never have called her "Auntie Li".

The midwife's words seemed to indicate that she didn't value Li Chunli's belly, but in fact, what she said was true. This was just the beginning.

The cervix is only dilated one finger. It will take at least five or six hours for the cervix to fully dilate and give birth.

Therefore, the midwife was not nervous at all and started drinking tea.

Qin Tao had given birth to two children, so she certainly knew that what the midwife said was true and correct.

But it is also true that the midwife neglected Li Chunli.

The reason is still the same, Li Chunli is just a maid.

Qin Tao held Li Chunli's hand and coaxed her not to scream, to save some strength for when she really needed it, and not to get so tired that she had no strength left, as that would be dangerous.

Li Chunli was very afraid of giving birth because Qin Tao was by her side, but at least she had her mother by her side, which gave her some comfort.

Qin Tao looked at Li Chunli, whose hair was soaked with sweat, and felt a piercing pain in her heart.

"Sister Li, listen to your mother. Just bear with it for a while."

Qin Tao stuffed the folded cloth into Li Chunli's mouth. Looking at Li Chunli who was enduring the pain and dared not cry out, she could only force back the tears in her eyes and sang to Li Chunli the nursery rhymes she used to sing to her when she was young to coax her to sleep.

"The moon is crescent, the stars are bright, and the insects are flying"

Although she was still sweating from the pain, at least listening to Qin Tao's singing made Li Chunli feel less nervous and uncomfortable.

However, when Liu Shu, who was pacing back and forth in the yard outside the door, could no longer hear Li Chunli's voice crying out in pain inside the house, he felt uneasy.

When Liu Shu reached the door of the house, he was stopped by the servant boy and shouted into the house: "Li Niang? Li Niang? Li Niang, are you okay?
Why aren't you making any sound?
Does it still hurt?
Should we call a doctor?
Li Niang?

Li Niang, please answer me!"

When Li Chunli heard Liu Shu's loud voice outside, her eyes suddenly widened. She wanted to spit out the towel in her mouth so as to respond to Liu Shu's words.

But before Qin Tao could take the cloth out of Li Chunli's mouth, the midwife stood up swiftly, walked to the door, opened it, stepped over the threshold and stood outside, then closed the door.

Without giving Liu Shu, who was standing in front of the door and sticking her head out, any chance, he closed the door directly.

The midwife bowed her head and saluted Liu Shu, then she raised her head and smiled and advised Liu Shu: "My lord, this woman will take a long time to give birth. Aunt Li is in there now and everything is fine, and her mother is by her side.

Don’t worry, Prince. I have been a midwife for half my life and I will definitely ensure that the baby is born safely.

Now Aunt Li has kept silent and is saving her strength for when she gives birth.

You should go back first, my lord. After Aunt Li gives birth, I will go and tell you the good news immediately!"

Although Liu Shu already had Shouger, he knew nothing and understood nothing when Shouger was born. It was only later that he gradually accepted the fact that Shouger was his child.

As for Shouger's biological mother, she had died long ago.

It can be said that the baby in Li Chunli's belly was the first baby that Liu Shu watched grow little by little in Li Chunli's belly.

Although Liu Shu had many faults, at least he still had some true feelings for Li Chunli. So, listening to the midwife's words of comfort, he wanted to say that he could wait, he could wait outside, and he wanted to accompany Li Chunli.

But before he could finish his words, he heard the midwife say, "Your Highness, you can't help this woman with the birth!
His Highness was now standing at the door, and Aunt Li couldn't even speak to cry out in pain.

Your Highness should go back and rest. When the baby is born, I will go and tell you the good news immediately!"

Just as the midwife finished her words, three or four people came in from the courtyard gate, led by a woman who looked quite old.

As soon as the old woman came up to him, she bowed to Liu Shufu and said, "My lord, the princess asked you to go back and rest quickly, and not to block the door."

Liu Shu was about to say something, but when she faced the stern look of the old woman, she immediately stopped talking.

Liu Shu raised her head and looked inside through the door, but what could she see?

"Li Niang, I, I'm going back first, don't be afraid! You must be safe!"

After shouting this, Liu Shu had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the door. He kept looking back at the tightly closed door.

After seeing Liu Shu and the old woman leave, the midwife reopened the door and went in.

Facing Li Chunli's hopeful eyes, the midwife sighed and then said to Li Chunli, "The prince has gone back, Aunt Li, please don't worry about him.

This woman's childbirth has nothing to do with the man, Aunt Li should just focus on her own belly first."

Although she knew in her heart that Liu Shu could not really be waiting outside for her to give birth to the baby, Li Chunli, who was giving birth for the first time, still had some longing in her heart. She longed for the person she loved to be with her during the birth and accompany her.

They waited until dark, and then several lamps were lit in the house, illuminating the whole place.

Li Chunli, who was able to stand originally, could no longer stand due to the pain during these few hours.

She was now half leaning and half lying on the low couch in the room with a pale face, and her expression no longer showed the previous expression of gritting her teeth to endure the pain.

After several hours, she had become numb from the pain.

It was not until this time that the midwife's expression suddenly changed.

Logically speaking, by this time, Li Chunli's cervix should have been dilated to about eight or nine fingers, and she should be just one step away from giving birth.

However, until now, Li Chunli's cervix is only less than three fingers open!

Qin Tao was even more frightened at this moment. She thought that it would be difficult for Li Chunli to give birth at her age.

The pain that a woman goes through during childbirth is like she has one foot at the gate of hell, and she is really fighting for her life with the King of Hell!
Li Chunli was so young, Qin Tao had thought it would be difficult to give birth, but she had never thought it would be so difficult!

I can’t even have children!
If she fails to give birth, not to mention the fetus dying in the womb, Li Chunli herself will die!

“Call the doctor!

Get a doctor over here!
Go find a doctor!"

Qin Tao grabbed the midwife's hand and yelled at her loudly!

The midwife was startled, and felt the pain on her arm from Qin Tao's excited scratching. She quickly responded, "Find a doctor!

Yes, find a doctor!
I'll go find a doctor right away!
I'll go find a doctor!"

There will be no more updates today, don’t wait any longer!
In addition, the baby is due tomorrow, you can guess whether it is a boy or a girl~
