Outside the delivery room, everyone was anxiously waiting. A long time had passed, but Princess Changle still hadn't come out. Faintly, they could hear Princess Changle's cries of pain.
Just as everyone was impatient, Madam Zhang came out of the delivery room with a tired face and was immediately surrounded by everyone.
"President Zhang, why has Changle been in there for so long?" Li Shimin was anxiously pacing around. When he suddenly saw Madam Zhang come out, he quickly asked.
As everyone knew, the longer it took to give birth, the greater the risk. Princess Changle had been in the delivery room for too long. How could Li Shimin not be worried?
Madam Zhang helplessly shook her head and said, "The princess's body is a little weak, so it took a long time."
"Weak? How could she be weak? Didn't Changle rest for three years before she got pregnant with her second child? "Empress Zhangsun frowned and asked Madam Zhang.
Shaking her head helplessly, Madam Zhang replied, "Previously, this old woman examined Princess Changle's physical condition. There were no abnormalities, and she is completely capable of bearing a child. Thinking about it, it must be that during Marquis Mo's disappearance, Princess Changle was worried, causing her body to be unable to endure."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. After Meton disappeared, Princess Changle appeared strong on the surface, but her body and mind must have been affected. In addition, Princess Changle's body was weak to begin with, so today's matter occurred.
"Then please President Zhang, you must protect Changle and the child." Empress Zhangsun solemnly said.
Madam Zhang quickly nodded and said, "Empress, don't worry. This old one will do her best."
When Madam Zhang entered the delivery room again, Li Shimin couldn't help but hatefully say, "It's all Meton's fault. Otherwise, Changle wouldn't have suffered so much."
It had only been two days since the ambush at the Firearms Division and their victory. Moreover, Li Shimin had deliberately concealed the news. Princess Changle had just received the news that Meton was in danger when she heard the news of the victory. Although her mood had fluctuated greatly, her body was fine.
What truly worried Changle was the news that Meton had chased her into the 800-mile Immensity Sea. Moreover, as time passed, there was no news of Meton. This caused Princess Changle to be constantly worried, and her body became thinner day by day.
As time passed, Princess Changle spent more and more time in the delivery room. Everyone was getting more and more frustrated.
With a creak, the door to the delivery room opened again. Madam Zhang walked out with a worried expression.
"What's wrong, Changle?" Empress Zhangsun asked anxiously.
Madam Zhang said with a sorrowful expression, "Princess Changle's situation is very bad. This old one thinks that it's better to protect Daren first! Otherwise, if this drags on, Princess Changle will be in danger. "
"What? Protect Daren first? What about the child? "Li Shimin was suddenly shocked. He turned around abruptly.
Madam Zhang immediately knelt down with a frightened expression and said, "Your Majesty, this is the rule set by Her Highness when the Women and Children's Hospital was first established. If an accident occurs when a woman is in labor, the Women and Children's Hospital should protect Daren first. This has always been the rule."
Li Shimin couldn't help hesitating. He naturally didn't want to lose Princess Changle, but now Meton's whereabouts were unknown. If something really happened to him, and if Princess Changle was pregnant with a boy, it would be the only bloodline of the Mo Family, which could gather the Mo Family's prestige for a hundred years. The importance of the Mo Family was obvious to all in the Tang dynasty, not to mention that Meton went missing during the Western Expedition. He had made great military achievements. If they protected Daren and let the Mo Family lose its bloodline, they would be criticized according to the customs of the Tang dynasty.
Empress Zhangsun also thought of this. She couldn't help but change her expression. She couldn't help but look at Uncle Fu and the others.
Uncle Fu stepped forward without hesitation and said, "President Zhang, please do your best to protect Daren. This rule was set by Young Master for Daren, and it is also Young Master's wish."
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun couldn't help sighing. Meton established the Women and Children's Hospital because Princess Changle was in labor. He probably made this rule because he was worried about Princess Changle's health. They didn't expect that it was not used when Mo Sha was born, but now it was used when the second child was born.
Madam Zhang nodded her head. She had a deep understanding of this. Moton had secretly instructed her that, even if Princess Changle did not agree, she was to protect Madam Zhang first.
"According to Merton's suggestion, the priority of protecting Daren needs to be signed by the husband. Now that Merton hasn't returned from his expedition to the west, I don't know …" Madam Zhang said with difficulty.
Li Shimin sighed slightly and stepped forward. He was about to pick up the pen. Only Uncle Fu in the Mo family was qualified to sign, and he was the most suitable as the father.
"I'll sign it!"
Suddenly, a firm voice sounded from behind everyone. Everyone was shocked and turned around. They saw a familiar figure appear behind them. It was a tanned man who vaguely resembled Meton.
"Meton!"
Li Shiming turned around abruptly and stared at the dark-skinned man in front of him in disbelief. He took a closer look and confirmed that it was indeed Moton. But what puzzled him was why Moton had suddenly appeared in Chang 'an City.
He had already told the courier station that once Meton appeared, the courier station should immediately send the news back to Chang 'an City. Meton had returned to Chang' an City, but he didn't receive the news. There was only one possibility, and that was that Meton's speed was faster than the imperial court's speed. That was why he could arrive before the courier station.
"Young Master is back!" Uncle Fu couldn't help but be ecstatic. In order to let Meton come back as soon as possible, he had already used the power of the Mo's Village in advance and arranged enough people to wait for Meton along the way. Once Meton came back, he could go back to Chang 'an City as soon as possible. Fortunately, his painstaking efforts were not in vain. Meton finally arrived at the most critical moment.
"It's good that you're back!" Empress Zhangsun couldn't help crying. When Meton came back, Changle was no longer sad.
Meton picked up the contract and signed his name quickly. He solemnly bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun and said, "Your Majesty, I …"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let Changle feel at ease first."
Meton took a deep breath, opened the door of the delivery room and said loudly, "Changle, I'm back!"
"Midwife, you must save the child. If it's a boy, he will be the only son of the Mo's Family. If Meton can't come back, I will leave the Mo's Family descendants." Princess Changle begged. As the one who made the rules, she naturally knew her situation and the choice of the hospital. She couldn't help but beg at the moment.
"But Your Highness, your situation is not optimistic." The midwife frowned and said.
"No, don't worry about me. You must save the child. I must give birth to this child." Princess Changle continued to beg.
The midwife sighed in her heart. How could she not know the feelings of a mother? Naturally, she was willing to sacrifice her life for the child. However, the rules of the hospital made it very difficult for her.
"Changle, I'm back!"
When Princess Changle was begging bitterly, suddenly she heard Meton's familiar voice.
"My husband is back!"
In an instant, Changle heard the dreamy voice and couldn't help but be shocked. If Li Shimin sent someone to say that there was news of Meton, she might have a skeptical attitude. However, she was most familiar with Meton's voice, so how could she not recognize it? She couldn't help but cry.
"Yes, I'm back!" Meton affirmed again.
"Merton, you can't go any further. The environment ahead is sterile. You just came back, so it's best to go out first." Madam Zhang chased in and quickly advised.
Meton firmly shook his head and said, "Then I'll stand still and accompany Changle to give birth."
Through the curtain, Princess Changle heard Meton's voice. She couldn't help but feel at ease. With Meton's return, this family was complete. How could the little life in her stomach be absent?
"It's born, the princess is going to give birth!" The midwife suddenly said in surprise. After Princess Changle learned that Meton had returned safely, her body seemed to be filled with energy again, and the delivery process went smoothly again.
Soon, a loud cry sounded in the delivery room. Madam Zhang happily said, "Congratulations Merton, both mother and child are safe."
"Both mother and child are safe!" Meton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Changle was fine and he had a son. This was the best reward given to him by the heavens.
Outside the delivery room, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were anxiously waiting. Suddenly, they heard the loud cry of a child coming from the delivery room. They couldn't help but be happy. Princess Changle must have given birth.
"Reporting to the Emperor, both mother and child are safe." Madam Zhang happily said. The mission of the women and children hospital was to deliver Princess Changle's child. Now, they had succeeded.
"Both mother and child are safe!" Empress Zhangsun heard that Princess Changle was safe. She had also carried Princess Changle for ten months. No mother was willing to lose their child.
