Looking at the anxious Ning Jing, Mu Ling 'er had no choice but to be frank.
"Sister Jing, once you use that medicine, you won't be able to have any more children for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Bai Yuqiao was shocked. "Is this medicine so vicious?
Ning Jing was silent.
Seeing this, Mu Ling 'er said anxiously, "Sister Jing, pretend I didn't say anything! We don't need that medicine anymore! "
Mu Ling 'er wanted to slap herself. Even she felt that the medicine was vicious.
However, Ning Jing was very calm. She asked, "Miss Bai, how many days will it take for the midwife sent by Jun Yi Xie to arrive?"
"She'll be here in two days," Bai Yuqiao answered truthfully.
"Okay!" Ning Jing nodded and said seriously, "Ling 'er, help me make the medicine. I'll use it tonight."
"No!" Mu Ling 'er refused immediately. Tears were flowing out of her eyes.
Ning Jing pulled her over and carefully wiped her tears. "Ling 'er, be good."
Mu Ling 'er shook her head. "Sister Jing, what will you do in the future? If you give birth to a girl, Tang Li's parents will chase you away! "
Tang Li was an only son! If Ning Jing gave birth to a girl, then there would be no one to inherit the position of the Tang Sect Master. Tang Li's parents and so many elders of the Tang Sect would not allow such a thing to happen.
When the time came, they would definitely make things difficult for Ning Jing and force Tang Li to marry again.
Mu Ling 'er thought so far ahead. Ning Jing burst out laughing. "They wouldn't dare!"
Mu Ling'er didn't believe her. Ning Jing smiled and said, "At worst, I'll just kidnap Tang Li. I don't care about the Tang Sect anyway."
Mu Ling'er burst into tears. "Sister Jing, can you stop laughing? Stop joking around!"
How could she be so calm about such a huge matter?
Ning Jing pulled Mu Ling'er's hands and said seriously, "This is the only way. It doesn't matter if my pregnancy is exposed, but once Miss Bai is suspected, we will never be able to get out. The northern expedition would also be exposed. Mu Ling'er, now is not the time to throw a tantrum. You should be more sensible! "
Of course, Mu Ling'er was sensible. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been threatened by Deacon Jin like that.
"Be good. Go and write down the prescription. We don't have much time," Ning Jing urged.
Mu Ling'er bit her lip and didn't move for a long time.
"Are you going or not?" Ning Jing suddenly became fierce.
Mu Ling'er jumped in shock as she stood up abruptly, tears streaming down her face. If Ning Jing really became fierce, she would be scared.
"Are you going to cry again?" Ning Jing became even fiercer.
"I'll go …" Mu Ling'er had no choice. She wiped her tears as she went to write down the prescription.
Ning Jing exhaled before looking towards Bai Yuqiao. She then realised that Bai Yuqiao was staring at her in a daze.
"Miss Bai, I'll have to trouble you to ask the midwife to prepare." Ning Jing said indifferently.
Bai Yuqiao furrowed her brows as her heart felt stifled. She felt that she had a lot of things to say but looking at the calm and collected Ning Jing, she didn't know what to say.
Finally, Bai Yuqiao said, "Ning Jing, for the Tang Clan to have a daughter-in-law like you is their blessing! If they dare to chase you away in the future, we don't need to care about them! "
Ning Jing gently stroked her bulging belly and smiled, but didn't say a word.
Mu Ling'er quickly wrote down the prescription. The combination of herbs and quantities in the prescription were very strange but the herbs used were very common. Tiger's Prison had already prepared some and there were a few that could be picked from the herbs that Bai Yuqiao had brought over today.
Mu Ling'er unwillingly handed the prescription over to Bai Yuqiao.
"You guys should also prepare. I'll go and get the herbs and arrange for the midwife to come over." Bai Yuqiao said seriously.
Ning Jing nodded her head resolutely. Since she had already decided, then she had to hurry up and take action.
After Bai Yuqiao left, Mu Ling'er was still standing there in a daze.
"Ling'er, go and prepare. Tonight, I'll hand my and our child's lives over to you! "Ning Jing said.
Only then did Mu Linger recover her wits and realize that there was nothing she could do to change the facts.
Giving birth to a child was a big matter and accidents were common. Moreover, Ning Jing had used special medicine?
Ning Jing's words were purposely said for Mu Ling'er to hear. She wanted this lass to wake up and get her spirits up!
"Alright! I'll go and prepare! "Mu Ling'er hurriedly went out.
When everyone had left, Ning Jing finally dropped all her pretenses. She had always been a resolute woman. Once she had decided on something, she would not be afraid or regret it.
She just … missed Tang Li.
Tang Li, you're really going to be a father, do you know that?
Tang Li, you're going to be a father. Don't be sloppy in the future. You have to be a good role model for your child, do you understand?
Bai Yuqiao and Mu Ling'er needed to prepare a lot of things, and Ning Jing needed to be mentally prepared.
Two hours later, everything was ready. The midwife was waiting in the room. Mu Ling'er personally carried the medicinal soup and handed it to Ning Jing.
"Sister Jing, do you want to reconsider?" Mu Ling'er could not help but ask.
Ning Jing pretended not to hear and did not answer. She picked up the medicinal soup and drank it all in one gulp.
This time, Mu Ling'er immediately tensed up. Even Bai Yuqiao was nervous. The room was silent. It was as if they could hear the sound of time's footsteps.
After taking the medicine, Ning Jing's stomach would move in an hour. Now, all they had to do was wait.
An hour was not a long time, but for the three women, it was like torture.
Mu Ling'er and Bai Yuqiao did not dare to look away from Ning Jing. Ning Jing lowered her head and did not move. Her nerves were stretched taut. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous.
"Aiya, you can't. Miss Jing, you have to get up and walk around. Exercise a little so that you can give birth better later, "the midwife could not help but say.
Only then did Mu Ling'er remember this. "Right, right!"
Ning Jing walked with difficulty with her big belly. The midwife quickly came over to help her. "Just walk around in the room. Walking more will do you good."
Mu Ling'er also came over to help her. Just like that, Ning Jing walked in circles in the limited space in the room.
This was her first and last time giving birth in her life. This was something that she would never forget.
She walked and walked …
Suddenly!
Ning Jing stopped in her tracks and exclaimed, "It hurts. It's starting to hurt."
The faint pain was very familiar. It had happened twice before. The midwife had said that it was an illusion. Then, this time, it was real.
Everyone became nervous. Bai Yuqiao did not know what to do and asked anxiously, "Do you want to lie down quickly?"
"Go! Keep walking! Walk more, and you'll feel better later, "the midwife said seriously.
The three of them had never given birth before. Even though Mu Ling'er had some medical knowledge, what she read in medical books was not the same as what she saw in reality. Moreover, childbirth varied from person to person. At this point, they all had to listen to the midwife.
Gradually, Ning Jing's pain became more frequent and more intense. She couldn't walk anymore.
"Hang in there, Miss Jing. Listen to me. If you suffer a little now, you'll suffer less later. "
"Walk more, and the child will come out faster. You'll also suffer less. Otherwise, the first child won't come out so soon. "" Hang in there, walk a few more rounds … "
The midwife persuaded and encouraged her. Ning Jing was also brave. She gritted her teeth and persevered.
There were ten levels of pain. Severe burns and lumbar disc herniation were level eight to nine. The tenth level was the pain of childbirth.
One could only imagine how painful it was. However, this was not the most painful moment.
Suddenly!
Ning Jing stopped abruptly. She looked down and felt a warm current flowing down her thigh. Ning Jing was completely flustered and did not know what to do. Bai Yuqiao and Mu Ling'er looked at each other nervously.
Fortunately, Bai Yuqiao's midwife was very reliable. She did not make a fuss and said calmly, "Your water has broken. Hurry up and lie on the bed. You're about to give birth!"
The midwife and Mu Ling'er quickly helped Ning Jing out of the door and into the small room next door. Bai Yuqiao helped open the door.
The small room next door was specially prepared by Bai Yuqiao under the midwife's guidance.
Different family conditions meant different conditions for the mother to give birth. Although the small delivery room at Tiger's Prison was not as well-prepared as Tang Li's at the Tang Sect, it was still Bai Yuqiao's goodwill.
The entire room was very clean. All the windows were tightly shut. Two maidservants stood in the room. They were the midwife's assistants. They had already prepared hot water.
There was a small table next to the bed. On it were candles, scissors, needles, gauze, and a few bowls of medicinal soup.
In the middle of February, spring had officially begun in the north. However, Tiger's Prison was still very cool. Therefore, the midwife had people place two stoves in the room to ensure that the room was warm.
Ning Jing was helped to lie on the bed. After her water broke, she was in waves of pain. If it were anyone else, they would have cried out in pain. However, she did not make a sound until now.
Bai Yuqiao personally stood guard outside. She said to Ning Jing, "Don't worry. Leave everything outside to me!"
"Okay!" Ning Jing answered with difficulty.
Bai Yuqiao stood guard at the door for a while. Then, she heard Ning Jing's cries of pain and the midwife's voice asking her to coordinate her breathing.
Bai Yuqiao's heart clenched when she heard this. Looking at the maidservants going in and out to change the hot water, she almost went in to see what was going on.
"Almost there! Almost there! I see the child's head! Put in more effort! "
Suddenly, the midwife's surprised voice was heard from inside the room. Bai Yuqiao then heaved a sigh of relief. In actual fact, she was only responsible for delivering the letter. Ning Jing's life or death and the child's safety had nothing to do with her. She didn't know why but her heart was heaving up and down along with those cries.
At this moment, the maidservant came out with the dirty hot water. Bai Yuqiao hurriedly got up and was about to ask about the situation in the room when who knew that an attendant hurriedly ran over, "Young Miss Bai, bad news, bad news!"
Bai Yuqiao was stunned as she didn't dare to imagine what kind of bad news the attendant would bring over at this moment.
One must know that unless it was an extremely urgent matter, the attendant was not allowed to come here.
Bai Yuqiao was in a daze and didn't dare to ask. It was as if if she didn't ask, there wouldn't be any bad news.
Unfortunately, the attendant said anxiously, "Young Miss Bai, Duke Kang has sent people to patrol again and they even brought two midwives! They should be in the front courtyard now. "
Bai Yuqiao was so shocked that her heart almost stopped beating! What should she do?
The maidservant panicked and the big basin of blood fell onto the ground, spilling all over the floor …..
