Chapter 409: Giving Birth
Chapter 409: Giving Birth
Seeing Lin Rusi like this, Li Jingyang became even more anxious and sad.
No matter how Li Jingyang tried to comfort Lin Rusi, she continued to cry.
Moreover, Li Jingyang now understands that Lin Rusi is pregnant and about to give birth, and her emotions have become particularly strange.
Therefore, no matter how much Lin Rusi cried and made a fuss, Li Jingyang patiently comforted her.
However, Lin Rusi cried as she rubbed her tears against Li Jingyang's body.
Li Jingyang had no choice but to obediently comply.
But not long after, Lin Rusi suddenly raised her head and stopped crying.
This puzzled Li Jingyang, who immediately hugged Lin Rusi tightly.
"What's wrong, Asi? Are you feeling too unwell? I'll go and fetch the imperial physician."
Before Li Jingyang could let go of her hand after saying that, Lin Rusi grabbed his arm tightly.
"My stomach hurts... my stomach suddenly hurts so much..."
Lin Rusi's face had turned extremely pale when she said this.
Even her lips had lost all color.
This scared Li Jingyang half to death.
He hurriedly pulled Lin Rusi into his arms, rubbing her belly with his large hands.
They carried Lin Rusi back to the bedroom as quickly as possible.
He hurriedly ordered the servants to quickly make up the bed.
"Asi, don't worry... I'll arrange for them to summon the imperial physician immediately!"
Under Li Jingyang's arrangement, a number of imperial physicians quickly arrived.
However, at this moment, Lin Rusi's face was already covered in a lot of fine sweat.
Moreover, Li Jingyang sat beside Gege in pain and discomfort, never daring to let go of her hand.
The imperial physicians also overheard that Lin Rusi was about to give birth.
The imperial physicians were all terrified, their hands trembling.
Not only that, the entire East Palace became lively.
All the palace maids and guards got busy.
They even hired three midwives.
Li Jingyang was only concerned with Lin Rusi's safety.
And the news of this matter quickly spread throughout the palace.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the news reached the emperor's ears.
This immediately made the emperor anxious.
The emperor, who had been lying on the dragon bed, had now washed and dressed and came to the outside of Li Jingyang's palace.
"Oh dear, why didn't you inform me of such a big event sooner! I'm eagerly awaiting to see my little grandson!"
The emperor was laughing so hard his eyes were almost invisible; he looked exceptionally happy.
However, besides the emperor, many other people learned of this and came to offer their congratulations.
However, they were all kept outside the Eastern Palace.
After all, Lin Rusi usually dislikes people who are always making a fuss.
Therefore, Li Jingyang ordered that they not be allowed to enter.
However, the emperor was invited to a side hall to wait with Li Jingyang for Lin Rusi to give birth.
The emperor appeared calm and collected, but inwardly he was extremely excited and delighted.
After all, this is their royal family's first grandson.
How could the emperor not be excited?
On the other hand, Li Jingyang, standing to the side, was extremely anxious and impatient.
Because of childbirth, Li Jingyang was unable to stay by Lin Rusi's side.
Therefore, Li Jingyang had no idea what had happened inside.
He could only stand outside the side hall and listen to Lin Rusi's wails one after another.
Hearing this, Li Jingyang felt a pang of heartache.
He wished he could rush into the palace and take Lin Rusi's pain away.
Left with no other choice, Li Jingyang could only sit uneasily in the side hall.
Every now and then, he would peek inside the palace from the doorway.
Seeing Li Jingyang's appearance, the emperor couldn't help but tease him.
"Look at you, why are you so anxious and nervous? It's just having a baby, why are you so worried?"
The emperor spoke these words with remarkable ease, yet they caused Li Jingyang to frown deeply.
"Look at you, so useless! And you're supposed to be the future king? If they see this, they'll laugh at you."
Seeing that Li Jingyang ignored him, the emperor continued.
However, Li Jingyang sat down next to the emperor and replied with a cold face.
"What's the use of being successful? My wife is the one lying in there giving birth right now, that's why I'm anxious and upset."
"Besides, Asi is in so much pain right now. When I hear her screams, I wish I could rush in and take her pain away."
After hearing Li Jingyang's words, the emperor did not say anything more.
She simply changed her expression, looking at Li Jingyang with a beaming smile.
It seems that Li Jingyang's feelings for Lin Rusi far exceed the emperor's understanding.
Moreover, Lin Rusi is unique in Li Jingyang's heart.
It's hard to say whether such a devoted and affectionate future ruler is a good thing or a bad thing for this dynasty.
As the emperor pondered this, he sighed and sat down peacefully to the side, eagerly awaiting the completion of Lin Rusi's delivery.
However, at this very moment, Lin Rusi, who was in her bedchamber, was already drenched in sweat.
Even after using all her strength, she still couldn't see the child come out.
"Why is childbirth so painful? I'll never have another child!"
Lin Rusi couldn't help but shout, reaching out to grab the hand of the person next to her.
But in the end, Lin Rusi was too exhausted and fainted on the bed.
As Lin Rusi's voice faded, Li Jingyang's mood became increasingly volatile.
"Why isn't Asi saying anything... What's going on..."
Li Jingyang nervously stood up again and paced back and forth in the side hall.
The emperor, standing to the side, also sighed helplessly.
Even though Li Jingyang had already made the emperor dizzy, he still showed no sign of stopping.
"Ah Yang...you should rest, you're making me dizzy..."
The emperor held his forehead and rubbed his temples.
However, Li Jingyang stood aside without paying any attention and still did not sit down.
He was relieved when he heard Lin Rusi cry out in pain again.
But this made Li Jingyang even more worried, fearing that Lin Rusi might encounter other unexpected events.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the imperial physicians came out of the palace.
Li Jingyang noticed the imperial physicians and immediately went to inquire about the situation.
"Why did you all come out? How is my Asi?"
Hearing Li Jingyang's questioning, the imperial physicians could only lower their heads helplessly.
"Since I couldn't do anything useful inside, I came out first..."
Li Jingyang was very dissatisfied with the imperial physician's reply.
"You guys must protect Asi and save her life no matter what."
The imperial physicians nodded in agreement upon hearing Li Jingyang's words.
Soon, they returned to the palace and relayed their words to the midwife inside.
Having overheard this conversation, the emperor now understood completely.
It seems that in Li Jingyang's eyes, even offspring are no longer important.
