Chapter 196 You Will Always Be Mine

Led by Dongfang Qiwu and Nangong Yue, Old Madam Xiao, as well as the most experienced midwives and imperial physicians who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, all arrived.

"Ning'er!"

"Aunt!"

The women immediately gathered around.

Dongfang Qiwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister's face was pale but her eyes were still clear. However, when he saw the wet mattress and huge belly under her, his heart immediately rose again.

"Quick! Prepare hot water! Ginseng soup! Clean towels!"

The most experienced midwife immediately began to give orders, and everything was in order.

"Aye,"

Dongfang Qiwu looked at Nangong Ye, who was still holding Ning'er's hand tightly and was obviously in a bad state, and said softly but firmly,

"The delivery room is bloody. Please go out and wait."

According to the rules, men are not allowed to enter the delivery room, let alone someone of Nangong Ye's status.

Nangong Ye raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, filled with complete resistance and panic:

"No! I want to stay here with Ning'er!"

How could he leave at this time? !

He will go crazy if he can't see her!

"Husband..."

Dongfang Yuning also gently pushed him,

"Be good... go out and wait... if you're here, I... I'm nervous..."

She knew that having him around would only make her more anxious and affect her.

Nangong Ye looked into her eyes and read the persistence and a hint of pleading in them.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, leaving blood marks.

In the end, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and was "asked" out of the delivery room by everyone, struggling and looking back every few steps.

The door closed behind him, blocking his view.

The long wait and the trapped beast outside the door

The delivery room was busy but orderly.

The painless fertility pills were very effective. Dongfang Yuning hardly felt any severe pain, only waves of strong feeling of falling and the strength of uterine contractions.

She followed the midwife's instructions on breathing and pushing, and remained conscious.

System 118: [Host! Push harder! Yes! That's it! I see the hair! Come on! Breathe! Inhale—exhale—]

[Contractions 30 seconds apart, 45 seconds in duration! Peak intensity! One more time!]

[The baby's heart rate is normal! The host's vital signs are stable! The pain-free pills are taking effect!]

[Come on! The first one is almost out! Victory is in sight!]

System 118 monitors various data in real time, giving the most accurate instructions and encouragement, which greatly calmed Dongfang Yuning's nervous mood.

Outside the delivery room, the scene was quite different.

Nangong Ye paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously, like a wounded beast trapped in a cage.

Every time he heard Ning'er's labored groans (even if they were very light), or the midwife's encouraging voice, his body tensed up a little, and his heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

Time passed incredibly slowly.

From dusk to dawn, and then to noon.

Nangong Ye didn't drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice. He just stood there straight, staring at the closed door, as if he wanted to stare through it.

His face was frighteningly pale, his jaw clenched, and he exuded a terrifying aura that kept strangers away. The secret guards watched from a distance, not daring to even breathe.

Shen Xiaoyun and Nangong Yu also rushed over, and seeing Nangong Ye's appearance, they didn't dare to disturb him.

Chen Xiaoyun recalled the torment he had endured when Yue'er gave birth, and he felt the same way as the emperor's uncle at the moment, even more so - these were twins!

Dongfang Qiwu and Nangong Yue occasionally came out to report on the situation:

“Everything went smoothly.”

"Ning'er is very brave"

“It’s not bad.”

But these words could not comfort Nangong Ye at all.

He only knew that his Ning'er was suffering in there, and he could do nothing!

This feeling of powerlessness almost drove him crazy!

At noon, when the sun is at its strongest——

"Wow--!!!"

A loud and powerful baby cry, like the sound of nature, suddenly came from the delivery room!

Born!

Nangong Ye suddenly froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted!

The whole person seemed to be nailed to the spot!

Then, not long after, there was another slightly weaker, but equally clear crying sound!

two!

All born!

Everyone guarding outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with joy on their faces.

Nangong Yu even patted his chest and said repeatedly:

"Good, good, good! May our ancestors bless you!"

However, Nangong Ye seemed not to hear the cry of joy, his entire attention was focused on the delivery room -

Why is there no Ning'er's voice? !

Why is it so quiet?!

An extremely ominous premonition wrapped around his heart like a poisonous snake!

At this moment, the door of the delivery room was opened a crack, and a nanny came out with a happy face to announce the good news:

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The Princess has given birth! It's a little prince and a little princess! Auspicious combination of dragon and phoenix! God bless..."

Before she could finish her words, Nangong Ye pushed her away like a wild beast out of control and rushed into the delivery room!

The strong and unignorable smell of blood instantly hit me in the face!

What came into view were the busy maids and two small, white and tender babies in swaddling clothes, but Nangong Ye's eyes immediately and accurately locked onto the bed -

Dongfang Yuning lay there, his face as pale as snow, his sweaty hair stuck to his forehead and cheeks, his eyes closed, his breathing so weak that he could hardly hear his chest rising and falling!

He looked as if all his vitality had been sucked out!

At the bedside, the imperial physician was giving her acupuncture with a serious expression, and the midwife was holding ginseng soup in her hand and trying to feed it to her.

At this moment, Nangong Ye felt a darkness in front of his eyes!

The whole world instantly lost all color and sound! The heart that had been hanging in my throat seemed to be squeezed tightly, then slammed to the ground and shattered!

“Ning’er——!!!”

He let out a shrill roar that was not like a human voice, and suddenly threw himself to the bed. His legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees!

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch her, but he didn't dare, for fear that she would break if he touched her.

"Baby... Ning'er... what's wrong with you? Look at your husband... look at me..."

His voice was broken, filled with heavy crying and great fear, and tears flowed uncontrollably. This man who stood tall and proud was now as fragile as a child.

Dongfang Qiwu wiped away tears and choked up:

"Aye... Ning'er just fainted from exhaustion... The imperial physician said her life is not in danger, but she has suffered too much damage and needs to rest well..."

But Nangong Ye couldn't listen at all!

He could only see her lifeless appearance and smell the heart-pounding smell of blood!

He grabbed Dongfang Yuning's cold hand tightly, pressed it against his face, and called her name over and over again.

Perhaps it was his calling that worked, or perhaps it was the imperial physician's silver needle that was effective, but Dongfang Yuning's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and he opened his eyes with great difficulty.

My vision was blurred for a while before I focused on the handsome face in front of me, which was filled with panic, despair and tears.

"Husband...jun..."

Her voice was as weak as a mosquito, but she tried hard to smile at him.

"Don't be... afraid... Ning'er... it's okay..."

Seeing her wake up, Nangong Ye's heart calmed down a little, but the overwhelming fear and terror swept over him even more violently!

He held her hand tightly, as if he was holding on to the only piece of driftwood, and his red eyes showed unprecedented seriousness and determination.

Dongfang Yuning gasped weakly for a few times, looked at him, his eyes filled with fear and determination, and said clearly with all his strength:

"Husband...from now on...we won't have any more children...just these two...are enough...I never again...want to see you...worried like this..."

Nangong Ye nodded heavily, his voice hoarse and choked:

"Okay! Listen to Ning'er! I won't give birth again!"

Suddenly, Dongfang Yuning seemed to think of something, and his already pale face showed even more worry.

She grabbed his fingers with her backhand. Although her strength was weak, she stared at him with an extremely serious look:

"But husband! You have to promise me!"

She took a breath, her tone more severe than ever before.

"You are not allowed to... you are not allowed to touch those messed up drugs just to avoid having children! You are not allowed to... you are not allowed to harm your body! Do you hear me?!"

Her heart ached when she thought that he might have taken some strong medicine for sterilization, which would damage his foundation.

“What if…what if…”

She didn't dare to think further, the huge fear made her voice tremble, and she suddenly pressed his hand tightly against her heart, so that she could hold him.

"Husband, listen to this! If you dare... dare not cherish yourself, leave me soon... soon..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, along with a ruthless look bordering on despair. She gritted her teeth and uttered the most heartbreaking words:

"I'll... I'll take your child with me... and remarry! Let your son and daughter call someone else daddy!"

These words, like the sharpest dagger, pierced Nangong Ye's heart!

boom--!

A violent, almost all-destructive anger instantly rushed to the top of his head!

Just imagine that scene - his Ning'er threw herself into the arms of another man, his child called someone else "Dad"...

Nangong Ye felt his vision go dark, his blood was flowing backwards, and he wished he could tear that imaginary man and this horrible idea into pieces immediately!

“You dare!!!”

He suddenly roared, his eyes were red, and veins on his forehead were throbbing, like a completely enraged prehistoric beast!

He stared at Dongfang Yuning intently, his teeth chattering. Every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out from hell, with chilling paranoia and absolute possessiveness:

"Dongfang Yuning! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it! You can only be mine, you can only be mine for the rest of your life!"

He leaned down, his nose almost touching hers, their hot breaths intertwined, his eyes mad and determined:

"Don't worry... I will definitely outlive you! Even for just a moment... I will never... give you the chance... to look at another man!"

That harsh tone, that paranoid look, clearly said:

Even if he died, he would take her with him and would never allow any possibility of separation!

This extremely domineering and even somewhat crazy oath strangely soothed the fear in Dongfang Yuning's heart.

She knew that he had listened and that he would never joke about his body.

She breathed a sigh of relief, a faint but genuine smile flashing across her pale face as she murmured softly:

“…Okay…it’s a deal…”

After exhausting her last bit of strength, she finally fell asleep peacefully.

Nangong Ye held her hand tightly, feeling her breathing steady. His heart, which had been torn repeatedly and almost broken, slowly fell back to normal.

He lowered his head and devoutly kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then kissed her sweaty forehead. His voice was low and hoarse, trembling with the pain of having survived a disaster:

"Go to sleep, baby...your husband is here to watch over you...always..."
