Chapter 425 Twins in One Pregnancy 1

The dark clouds in the sky moved very quickly. It was clear in the morning, but by noon it was covered with dark clouds and the sky suddenly became dark.

Before the rainstorm came, it was hot and stuffy, making Ye Jintang very uncomfortable.

After lunch, she and Master Mu came out of the house and strolled in the yard with a round fan, getting some fresh air and helping digest their food.

The koi in the lotus pond were also suffocated and would jump out of the pond from time to time to breathe some fresh air.

Sister Mu looked up at the dark sky and said, "It looks like this is going to be a heavy rain. The dark clouds in the sky are so thick that it will probably take until the next afternoon for it to rain thoroughly."

"I think so. Master, you don't have anything to do this afternoon, so why don't you stay here for a while? If it rains again in the evening, you don't have to go back. We can just sit here and talk."

"Okay, the prince has been out for half a month, and I don't know when he will be back. Your month is up, and you may give birth any day."

"Yesterday the prince sent me a letter by carrier pigeon, saying that he would be back in a day or two."

"That's good."

The master and the disciple chatted while strolling in the garden.

Suddenly a cool breeze blew, and Ye Jintang felt refreshed all over.

"got windy?"

"This weather is really weird. It's been cloudy but not raining, and it's windy now. Will it rain or not?"

Master Mu looked up at the sky in surprise, and it seemed that the dark clouds had become even darker.

"Let's go back to the house. I feel like it's going to rain. The air is even more stuffy than before."

Ye Jintang has difficulty moving, but she dare not be careless. If it rains suddenly, she is heavy and might get wet.

The weather in summer is the most changeable. As soon as Ye Jintang stepped into the house, a strong wind suddenly blew up, accompanied by thunder from time to time.

After a while, it became as dark as night and we had to light candles in the house.

Accompanied by flashes of lightning and dull thunder, raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.

Soon the raindrops formed into lines, and the heavy rain directly shrouded the entire Ningchuan City in rain and fog.

"Luckily we walked fast just now, otherwise we would be soaked to the skin now."

Luzhu glanced out the window with some fear, still feeling a lingering shock.

It didn't matter if she got wet, but it would be bad if Ye Jintang got wet.

"It won't be so stuffy after a heavy rain."

"Master, please take a look at these prescriptions I wrote."

Ye Jintang leaned on the Luohan bed and handed the prescription he had written a few days ago to Master Mu.

She quickly flipped through them. "Are they all prescriptions for curing diseases?"

"Exactly."

"The prescription is good, but it looks like the medicine is not very strong. It should be a minor epidemic."

"Yes, I read in a book that there is a kind of epidemic that is extremely contagious. If one person in a family gets it, no one in the family can escape it."

"People who are sick will have a high fever that won't go away. If they take medicine to reduce the fever, they will be completely cured. If the fever can't be reduced, it will be life-threatening."

“This is the first time I’ve heard of this kind of disease.”

Master Mu looked at the prescription written by Ye Jintang and fell into deep thought.

"If you want to reduce the fever quickly, you need to use a few more medicines."

As she spoke, Master Mu picked up the brush and added two more herbs, slightly changing the dosage.

"The dosage of Xiao Chaihu can be larger. This medicine is very good and will not harm the body."

Ye Jintang thought that Bupleurum was indeed effective in reducing fever, so it would be okay to add a little bit.

"I'll have someone prepare the medicine according to this dosage later. The prescription that Master modified can be used for patients with severe fever. The effect should be immediate."

When the master and the disciple were talking about the prescription, they forgot the time. It was not until Ye Jintang felt hungry that she realized that they had been talking for more than an hour.

"Luzhu, bring some snacks over here. I'm a little hungry."

As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, he felt his stomach tighten and a warm current flowed out without warning.

She was startled and looked at Master Mu in panic, "Master, I think I'm about to give birth?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you take a look."

Sister Mu helped Ye Jintang lie down and took a look at her. She found that her water had broken.

"It's time to give birth."

"Master, I am not even full term yet. Will it have any effect on the baby if I give birth now?"

"Twins have a high chance of being born prematurely. The two children feel sorry for you and are afraid that you will suffer, so they came up with this idea early. Don't worry, both the children and you will be fine."

Master Mu comforted Ye Jintang while observing the conditions of the two children.

"This is just the beginning. It will probably take several hours before the birth. Jintang, didn't you say you were hungry just now? Do you want to get up and eat something?"

The contractions were not very regular at the beginning and were still within the tolerable range, so Ye Jintang chose to eat without hesitation.

Usually Lu Zhu restricted her, not allowing her to eat this or that. But now, she can eat whatever she wants, and the more the better. According to Master Mu, if she eats more now, she will have strength when she really gives birth later.

"Madam, should we send a pigeon letter to the prince?"

Ye Jintang glanced at the heavy rain outside the window.

"Forget it. In such heavy rain, the carrier pigeons can't fly out. It's enough for Master to be here with me."

Ye Jintang's stomach ached for a while. In fact, she also hoped that Xiao Mo would be with her, but her two little babies chose the time to be born when Xiao Mo was out on patrol.

"Jintang, has the midwife you hired been staying at your house?"

"We have prepared it long ago. When the rain is a little lighter, we will let them all come over."

"Well, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Although you know medical skills, you can't treat yourself at this time. But with Master here, you can leave everything to me without any worries."

Master Mu's voice was extremely gentle, and Ye Jintang felt at peace just by hearing it.

"Master is lucky to have you."

Ye Jintang stuffed a chicken leg in his mouth and smiled with his eyebrows curved.

But soon she couldn't laugh anymore. An hour later, the pain became regular and obvious, and she couldn't eat a single bite.

"Jintang, bear with it. You will be able to give birth to these two naughty little ones soon."

"Ah."

Ye Jintang gritted his teeth and held on, refusing to let himself shout out.

It was clearly afternoon, but the dark clouds outside covered the sky and it looked almost like night.

From time to time, there are lightning and thunder, which sounds a bit scary.

But Ye Jintang couldn't care about these things at the moment, all her attention was on her belly.

She had been in pain for a full hour, and now she was covered in sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

"Lüzhu, go call the midwife, and Lianqiao, go get everything you need for childbirth."

After examining Ye Jintang's body, Master Mu immediately ordered the two to work.

"Master, how long will it take for me to give birth? I feel like I can't hold on any longer."

Ye Jintang lay on the bed, feeling that all the strength in her body had been drained. The pain of childbirth was so excruciating.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to give birth so soon. This is a good thing. You can suffer less."

"Well, it's better to give birth early than to suffer pain for hours."

Having said that, Ye Jintang still felt very uncomfortable and wished she could give birth to the two children immediately.

The midwife was right there in the palace, and Luzhu brought her over in less than a cup of tea.

As for the things needed for childbirth, they had been prepared long ago, and Lian Qiao brought them in a timely manner.
