Chapter 313 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 97
His voice was low and gentle, with a soothing power that gradually calmed Chu Hua's originally panicked heart.
She held Yinzhen's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw, and her nails almost dug into his flesh.
"Ah——!" Another wave of severe pain came, and Chu Hua's eyes went blank. She felt as if her body was torn apart, and she almost fainted from the pain.
"It's born, it's born! It's a little boy!" The midwife's cheers echoed throughout the delivery room, breaking the originally tense and suffocating atmosphere.
Chu Huan was soaked as if she had been fished out of the water. She lay powerlessly on the bed, her ears filled with all kinds of sounds, but she could not hear Yinzhen's voice clearly.
“Your Majesty, look, how good the little prince is, you can tell at first glance…” The midwife held the newborn baby in her arms, smiling as she wanted to say something auspicious, but was frightened by Yinzhen’s sharp look and quickly shut her mouth.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on Chuhua's pale face, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He pushed away the midwife and palace maid who were blocking his way, walked quickly to the bedside, and took Chuhua into his arms with heartache.
"Huan'er, you have suffered." His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep heartache and self-blame.
Chu Huan opened her eyes weakly, and seeing Yinzhen's anxious and worried expression, she tried to force a smile and shook her head gently, "Your concubine... Your concubine is fine..."
She wanted to raise her hand to touch Yinzhen's face, but found that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
"My queen, please try harder, there is one more..." The midwife's words seemed to come from the horizon. Chu Huan felt as if she had been fished out of an ice cave and thrown into a boiling oil pan. There was no part of her body that didn't hurt.
She could even feel something being torn out of her body, her vision went dark, her ears were buzzing, and Yinzhen's voice became unclear, as if it was covered by a thick layer of cotton.
"Huan'er, Huan'er..." Yinzhen's voice was heavily nasal. He held Chu Huan's hand tightly, but his broad palm could not stop shaking. The teeth marks on the back of his hand were still oozing blood, which was shocking.
"I... I'm here, don't be afraid..." Yinzhen's voice was dry and hoarse, as if it had been polished by sandpaper. His usual calmness and self-control were gone at this moment. His eyes were full of panic and helplessness, like a lost beast who could only lick his wounds helplessly.
Chu Huan could no longer hear what he was saying. She only felt that her vision was getting darker and darker, and her body was getting colder and colder, as if she was about to be completely swallowed up by the endless darkness and coldness.
"Ah——!" A loud cry broke the silence of the delivery room. Chu Hua seemed to be awakened by the cry. She tried hard to open her heavy eyelids and vaguely saw a little person held in the arms of the midwife, waving her little hands and crying loudly.
"Congratulations, His Majesty, congratulations, it's a little princess!" The midwife said happily, wrapped the child up, and carefully brought her to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan raised her eyelids with great effort and looked at the little person. Her delicate and pretty face, her eyes tightly closed before opening, her long eyelashes like two small fans, casting a shadow on her fair face.
Chu Hua felt like a piece of rag thrown carelessly on the bed. Pain, deep in her bones, came in waves, almost swallowing her up. She wanted to reach out and hug the crying baby, but she couldn't even move a finger.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The princess is also excellent. The birth of a dragon and a phoenix is a blessing from heaven to the Qing Dynasty!" The midwife's voice sounded particularly distant, as if separated by a thick wall.
There was no joy on Yinzhen's face. He held Chuhua's hand tightly, as if he wanted to crush her.
"Huan'er, wake up, look at me, look at the child..." His voice was trembling, and his usual calmness and composure were gone.
But Chu Hua could not hear anything. Her vision became increasingly darker, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into chaos.
When she woke up again, Chu Hua felt sore all over, as if she had been run over by a carriage. She struggled to get up, but found herself being held tightly by a pair of strong arms.
"Huan'er, are you awake?" Yinzhen's voice was filled with surprise and undisguised fatigue.
Chu Huan could see clearly then that Yinzhen had been guarding the bed, with sunken eye sockets and blue stubble on his chin, and it was obvious that he had not had a good rest for several days.
Chu Hua opened her mouth with great effort, but no sound came out and her throat was so dry that it seemed like smoking.
Seeing this, Yinzhen quickly poured a cup of warm water and carefully fed it to her mouth.
"Drink slowly."
Chu Hua drank a few sips of water and felt her throat was better. Then she asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's the child?"
"I'll have someone bring them over right away."
After a while, two wet nurses came in holding two swaddling clothes, one was bright yellow and the other was pink.
Yinzhen took the bright yellow swaddling clothes from the nurse, gently placed it next to Chuhuan, and said softly: "Huan'er, look, this is our son. He looks more like me. He will definitely be a man of great stature in the future."
Chu Huan's eyes fell on the child. The little guy was sleeping soundly. On his fair and tender face, his long eyelashes were like two small fans, casting a shadow under his eyes.
Chu Huan couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently touch the child's face. The touch was warm and soft, and an unfamiliar warmth surged in her heart.
Yinzhen took the pink swaddling clothes and smiled. He gazed at the child in his arms tenderly and said softly, "Huan'er, look, this is our daughter. She looks more like you. She will definitely be a stunning beauty in the future."
Chu Hua's eyes moved to her daughter, who was sleeping soundly, with her pink lips slightly pouted, as if she had tasted something sweet in her dream. Chu Hua's heart moved, and she wanted to reach out and hug her daughter, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
Yinzhen seemed to see through her thoughts. He gently placed the child beside her and said, "Huan'er, have a good rest. I will take care of you and the child."
Chu Huan nodded weakly, her eyes moving back and forth between the two children, her heart filled with maternal love.
She brought these two children into this world with all her efforts. She must protect them well and let them grow up healthy and happy.
In the next few days, Yinzhen stayed by Chuhua's side, serving her tea, feeding her medicine, changing her clothes, and taking care of her in every possible way. Chuhua was deeply moved by what she saw.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine now. You should go and handle government affairs. National affairs are more important." Chu Huan held Yinzhen's hand and advised softly.
