As he spoke, he took the dagger from his boot and stuffed it into Chu Xu's arms. "Here, for self-defense. If anything happens, you can take it to Han Ling at the Eastern Depot. He recognizes this dagger and will help you."

The atmosphere, which had been tense and on the verge of conflict, suddenly turned sorrowful.

Chu Yuan's emotions were already unstable during her pregnancy, and she felt like crying for no reason. Finally, she gritted her teeth, held Huo Jin's hand, and said, "Okay, I'm going to give birth, not to do anything else."

At this moment, Chu's mother took a yellow triangular piece off her neck.

"Yuan'er, this is a blessing for peace that your mother prayed for you a few days ago. The Taoist priest said that gathering some people first will make it more effective."

So these days, Mother has been taking it to the market and grocery shopping, attracting a lot of attention. Now I'm giving it to you.

Wishing you a smooth delivery and a safe delivery for both mother and child.

Remember, no matter when, our family will always be here waiting for you to come home.

If she hadn't known Huo Jin's true identity, she might not have agreed to let him take Chu Yuan away.

But now... there's nothing we can do.

The mere fact that a fake eunuch was actually a military commander had already made the entire Chu family live in fear. If he were also a prince, wouldn't the child in Yuan'er's belly be the eldest grandson of the emperor?!

Good heavens!

...

Once seated in the carriage, Chu Yuan resisted the urge to lift the curtain, clutching the amulet on her chest, her eyes welling with tears.

Huo Jin reached out and hugged her. "Good Yuan'er, cry if you want to. It's my fault for separating you from your family."

Chu Yuan leaned against him, and she was genuinely sad for a while.

But not many.

She was an open-minded person, and it wasn't like she wasn't coming back, so she quickly recovered from her sadness and asked Huo Jin, "Where are you planning to take me to give birth? Have you found a midwife and wet nurse yet?"

Huo Jin pinched her wrist and made a beckoning cat gesture.

"Don't worry, everything is arranged perfectly. We're just waiting for you, the mistress of the house, and the little master in your belly to make your appearance."

The better he spoke, the more eloquently he described it, the stronger Chu Yuan's strange sense of crisis became...

*******

I was on a business trip yesterday and didn't write much, I'll catch up today.

I used to update 4000+ words a day, but I've been lazy lately and haven't been on time. Feel free to give me a little spanking!

After the female lead gives birth, continue with the "sha sha" sound, hehe.
