Chapter 585 Dragon and Phoenix Twins
that...""From what my master and the old master said, it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince keeps mentioning to Her Majesty the Empress and His Majesty about marrying Xiao Yuge. I guess His Maje...Xiao Yu Ge ran outside and shouted at Qian Si Chen and Chu Tian Qi who were standing there dumbfounded, "Brother, you two quickly boil some hot water and prepare some rice porridge, hurry!"
"Oh, okay." Qiansidun and Chutianqi were also first-timers when it came to childbirth. They naturally did whatever they could to help.
"Senior brother, what should we do next" Xiao Yuge returned to the room. The expectant mother seemed even more pained than before, her face and body covered in sweat, her hair drenched as well.
He Crane was still facing away from the bed, "Little junior sister, crouch down and see if you can see the fetus's hair."
Xiao Yuge obeyed and crouched down. Although she had been mentally prepared, and even though she was a woman herself, when she first saw this scene, she was still a little taken aback. It wasn't until He Ming urged her that she came to her senses: "I saw a little..."
"You press on her stomach, and when she feels pain, you push down a little more..."
Time ticked by every second, but the child in the expectant mother's belly was in no hurry to come out. The expectant mother was exhausted at this point, but luckily Qian Sichin and they had managed to cook some congee, which Xiao Yuge fed to the expectant mother after a while, and she slowly regained some of her strength.
"Little apprentice, you have to teach her how to push with force. Otherwise, the child will be stuck inside and won't be able to come out. If that happens, she could suffocate." Crane Ming saw that so much time had already passed. If they didn't get out soon, both the adults and children were in danger.
"I can't do it anymore, I really can't..." After another round of effort, the expectant mother was exhausted, weak and aching to the point of near fainting.
"Brother, her condition isn't good. It seems like she's bleeding quite a bit..." This wasn't the first time Xiao Yuge had seen blood, but seeing the pool of blood on the bed right now really scared him.
"Little apprentice, don't be nervous. Press on her belly and try to use your inner strength to slowly help her give birth..." Although Crane Call was facing away from them, their every move also made him unconsciously nervous. Not only were his palms sweating, but his forehead was sweating too. This was his first time after all.
"Alright, I'll try." Xiao Yuge listened and immediately pressed down on the woman's belly, slowly trying to push it downwards.
"Senior brother, I...I seem to have seen the baby's head..." Xiao Yuge exclaimed in surprise at that moment.
"Okay, slowly support the child's head..."
"Wow!" Finally, a loud cry echoed throughout the house! Everyone who heard it was overjoyed, even Qian Si Chen and Chu Tian Qi outside also smiled. They could hear everything that happened inside clearly, so they were also tense. Now, finally, they let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu Ge, following He Ming's instructions, carefully packed the baby and handed him to the old woman: "Auntie, it's a boy. Please take a look."
"Boy! Boy! Our old Wang family has a descendant!" The old woman was so excited that tears streamed down her face, trembling as she took the child. It was as if she had received the treasure of her life.
"Ah!" Just then, the woman who had been silent on the bed suddenly cried out in pain again, and her whole body writhed as if in agony once more.
The two people outside who had just breathed a sigh of relief heard the scream and their hearts jumped to their throats!
"Little junior sister, what's wrong" Crane Ming also heard something was amiss and hurriedly asked.
"Senior Brother, there seems to be another one in her belly." Xiao Yuge saw this and was also frightened. This was the first time she had assisted with a birth, not to mention twins.
“Let’s just go through the steps again, now that we have the first one, the second will come quickly.” He Ming was truly worthy of his title as a divine physician. Though he had never delivered a baby before, he had read about these things extensively in books. It was just a matter of putting theory into practice.
"Wow!"
With the second baby's cry, silence returned to the room.
"Auntie, congratulations, a son and a daughter." Xiao Yuge carefully placed the swaddled babies beside the exhausted mother: "You are so brave, an amazing mother!"
"Thank you all! You are our lifesavers!" The mother cried tears of gratitude, knowing that if they hadn't encountered them today, both she and her child would have been in danger.
“Sister, you don’t have to be polite. We are doctors after all, saving lives is the duty of a physician.” Xiao Yuge finally let out a long sigh and looked at the woman holding her child, tears streaming down her face with a smile. For the first time, she understood the hardship and greatness of motherhood. It turned out that the birth of a child was a race against death for the mother, and it was almost as if she had sacrificed half her life to ensure the child’s safe arrival.
She also thought of her never-met mother, wondering what kind of person she was. To bring her into the world at the cost of half her own life, only to abandon her afterward. Yet, she still believed that her mother must have been incredibly kind and that abandoning her must have been due to unavoidable hardship.
"What are you thinking about" Hekiming saw her walk out of the yard alone in silence, so he followed her.
"Senior brother, what was your mother like" Xiao Yuge raised her eyes and asked.
“My mother” Hehe’s lips curled up into a happy smile. “She was an excellent person. Although she didn't spend much time with me, those few years were the happiest and most joyful of my life. It's just that the illness eventually took her life...”
"So, this is why you've set your sights on becoming a doctor" Xiao Yuge finally understood why he was so devoted to medicine.
"Well. When I was seven years old, I watched my mother die right in front of me, helpless. I lost the only family member I had..." He Ming's eyes dimmed.
Xiao Yu Ge gently held his hand: "Brother, Master, Uncle Master, and me, and Qian Ting Xuan, we are all your family, forever."
He chuckled and smiled when he heard the words. He unconsciously stroked her head, "That's right, you will always be my family. So, I am not alone." His master raised him, taught him medicine, introduced him to the King, and then there was her. They were all the most important people in his life.
Xiao Yu sang fear he would be sad, so she reached out and hugged him, offering comfort: "Senior brother, at least you're better off than me. You have seen your parents, but I don't even know who my own parents are. So, I only have you guys."
"Little sister, actually you..."
To everyone's surprise, before He could finish his words, Qiansidun interrupted him with a burst of anger!
"Let go of the song!" Qian Sichin never expected that He Ming would actually hold Song'er, and a surge of jealousy immediately overwhelmed her. She rushed forward, separating them with a force, then pointed accusingly at He Ming, her voice laced with hostility: "This palace warns you, stay away from Song'er!" She was also angry. Song'er was so kind to every other man, but why was she cold and distant towards himn't, but he didn't want his mother to be harmed either. Now that she was, it meant she would have to give up her heart and blood for her mother. Perhaps no one understood the pain of giving up one's h...
