Chapter 207
Jingwu helped his aunt to bed and, following the instructions of the midwife ghost, closed the windows and doors and lowered the bed curtains.
She was busy running around looking for clean strips of cloth when she heard Ruan Chongyue speak.
"Awu, everything for production is ready. It's in the greenhouse next door. Just go and get it."
Upon hearing this, Jingwu immediately agreed and hurriedly ran to the greenhouse to retrieve the prepared items.
It was placed on the table, awaiting the midwife's next instructions.
"Awu, you should go out. There are midwives here." Ruan Chongyue was covered in sweat. Looking at the girl in front of her, she said in a trembling voice, "You are not married yet. Don't look at these things. Go out now, be good and listen to me."
Jingwu paused for a moment, looked at her like this, and shook his head: "Aunt, I'll stay with you. Don't worry, I won't watch, I'll just stay with you."
Before Ruan Chongyue could say anything more, she heard the midwife speak.
"Madam, please stop talking and conserve your energy. This child is quite big, and you're going to suffer a bit."
While the midwife was busy, she said to the girl, "Miss, if you're not going out, just stay here and hand me things."
"Oh, okay." Jingwu immediately agreed, stood next to the midwife, and helped her hand over the things.
Ruan Chongyue was in so much pain that she let out screams.
Jingwu felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Yue Huai looked at the people who were being controlled, waved his hand, and released them from the spell.
They immediately grabbed two maids and ordered them to boil water, and also found a midwife and asked her to go into the delivery room to help.
Yue Huai stood at the entrance of the delivery room, listening to only screams, feeling uneasy. He then grabbed a servant and ordered him to take his token and ride at full speed to the Crown Prince's residence to fetch the imperial physician.
After doing all that, he finally sat down in the courtyard.
Shao Che had regained his senses by this time. He stood at the gate of the mansion, looking up at the plaque, carefully thinking about what had just happened.
The people who had regained their senses along with him were also very puzzled, whispering among themselves, wanting to know what had happened.
Just then, the servant rushed out and, upon seeing the master standing before him, immediately spoke.
"Master, Madam is about to give birth, and Miss and Young Master Yue are inside."
"Huh? She's about to give birth? How come it's so sudden?" Shao Che panicked the moment he heard this.
He rushed into the house and ran towards the yard.
A moment later, he ran into the yard, looked at the tightly closed door, and was about to run in when he was stopped by the person next to him.
"Hey, Uncle, you can't go in." Yue Huai quickly stopped him and led him to a stone bench next to him. He sat down and said, "Awu and the midwife are inside. I've also sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. Don't worry, just wait here with me."
Hearing this, Shao Che finally felt a little relieved and nodded subconsciously.
Then, realizing something was wrong, she exclaimed, "How did A-Wu get in there? She's a young woman who hasn't even gotten married yet, how could she be in there? Quick, quick! Call her out, she'll be terrified if she sees this!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Yue Huai immediately pulled the person back onto the stone bench.
"No, Awu won't be scared. Uncle, don't worry. She wanted to be inside herself."
Shao Che still felt a little uncomfortable, but when he heard that it was Jing Wu's own choice, he sat for a while longer.
After all, he couldn't persuade Awu; the child was very stubborn.
Hearing the sounds from inside the room, Shao Che was extremely anxious and completely ignored the change in how Yue Huai addressed him.
He gripped the cup tightly with both hands, his whole demeanor anxious and restless.
After a while, Shao Che couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked around, muttering something to himself.
"Why isn't she out yet? Why did she suddenly give birth? Why is it taking so long this time? Could something have happened to A-Yue? Should I go in and check on her..."
Yue Huai ignored his rambling before, but immediately looked up at the last sentence to make sure he had really gone in.
He was just pacing around anxiously, without making any move to go inside, and only then did I feel relieved.
After a while, the shouting inside the house subsided considerably, as if the person had run out of energy to shout.
Yue Huai frowned, and was about to stand up and ask how it was when he saw the servant rushing in with the imperial physician.
"Young master, I've brought the imperial physician with me," the servant said, panting heavily.
The imperial physician who had been arrested was also panting heavily, adjusting his official hat which was about to fall off, and straightening himself up.
"Young master, you...you..."
Yue Huai interrupted the panting imperial physician, saying, "You should go in and see Madam Shao first. We can talk about the rest later."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician immediately agreed and went inside.
A short while later, he came out carrying a medicine box, wrote a prescription on the stone table, and handed it to the person next to him.
"Mr. Shao, please send someone to the clinic to get these medicines. After the decoction is prepared, feed it to Mrs. Shao."
Shao Che took the prescription, his hands trembling. He grasped the person in front of him and asked, "Imperial Physician, how is my wife?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. She's just a little weak. If you have ginseng at home, you can make some ginseng soup for her to enjoy for a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Shao Che nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then took out some silver and handed it to the person in front of him.
After the imperial physician accepted the gift, he instructed the servant to send the person out.
Shao Che's heart pounded. He stopped the butler beside him and said, "Go to the clinic to get the medicine yourself, and then ask where you can buy thousand-year-old ginseng. Buy it quickly and make ginseng soup."
"Okay." The butler quickly agreed and hurriedly ran out with the prescription.
Although I know that thousand-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, I still have to try my luck.
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai suddenly remembered that there were two thousand-year-old ginseng roots in the Crown Prince's residence.
Then, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he immediately teleported to the Crown Prince's residence and went straight to the Crown Prince to ask for ginseng.
When he returned, there was no movement in the delivery room.
Just as Yue Huai was about to ask, he heard a crying sound.
Hearing the baby cry, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and a smile spread across his face.
Jingwu carried the cleaned-up child out and said to his uncle, "Uncle, congratulations, mother and daughter are safe and sound."
She looked up at the person in front of her, her eyes red and her face full of smiles.
Shao Che looked at the soft, tiny child in her arms, his hand trembling as he reached out to touch it, but then, afraid of hurting the child, he withdrew his hand.
Tears welled in his eyes, his lips curled into a wild smile, and he murmured, "So good, so good."
