Chapter 74 Where is your master?
"Is she going to give birth? But the prince and the concubine have already entered the palace."
Zhu was extremely anxious. The Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon. The prince and Concubine Fang had gone to the palace early in the morning and had not returned yet.
"Don't panic. Go and call the midwife."
Shen Ling covered her belly and walked into the inner room. Although she had never given birth to a child, what was the point of the prince coming back now?
Not even as good as a midwife.
Besides, she looks so ugly now, and she can't control her expression. It's just right that the prince is not here. She wants to leave her most beautiful image in the prince's heart!
"Yes, Zhuxin, hurry up and get those three midwives over here, quickly."
While helping Shen Lingshu into the house, Aunt Liu comforted her, "Don't worry, Aunt Shen. Your fetal position is correct, and you will be able to give birth to the two young masters smoothly."
"Yes, she will definitely be born safely."
Aunt Hua also realized what was happening and immediately ordered, "Xia Yu, go to the kitchen and boil some water. Liu Si, keep a close eye on the yard. Don't let even a fly in!"
"yes."
Xia Yu and Liu Si immediately got busy. Xia Yu went into the kitchen to light a fire and boil water, while Liu Si was watching the yard closely as if facing a great enemy!
The master treats her so well and promotes her to a first-class maid, so she must protect the master.
In the inner room, Shen Lingshu quickly lay down under the arrangement of Liu Ma and Hua Ma. Liu Ma touched her belly and said, "It is indeed time to give birth. The fetal position is correct. Aunt Shen, don't worry."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Ma'am."
Shen Lingshu frowned tightly. When it hurt, she felt helpless and didn't know what to do. When it didn't hurt anymore, she felt relieved.
"Here she comes, the midwife is here."
Zhu Xin was so breathless that she came with three midwives.
The three midwives were all experienced. After they arrived, they began to examine Shen Lingshu. Zhu Xin stood aside, as if facing a great enemy, with her hands clasped together and praying.
The movements in Youlan Courtyard could not be concealed from the other courtyards. Nanny Gui of Qiutang Courtyard, Aunt Li of Fengdan Courtyard and Aunt Lin of Meixiang Courtyard all soon knew that Shen Lingshu was about to give birth.
"That bitch, she got it so cheap."
Aunt Li gnashed her teeth and said, "It's better if the baby can't be born."
"Master, you have to be careful with what you say. Don't let others hear it." Biyu reminded in a low voice.
"Do you still want to complain to the concubine?" Aunt Li glanced at Biyu. Hai Jiaren was previously stabbed in the back by the maid beside her. Except for Biyu who was always by her side, Aunt Li no longer trusted Cuiyu as much as before.
At the same time, Aunt Li was even more thankful that she was timid. Otherwise, if she really acted like Hai Jiaren, and attacked that bitch Shen in a fit of anger, wouldn't she... risk her own life?
"I dare not."
Biyu quickly knelt down and said, "Master, I have been with you since I was a child and would never dare to betray you."
Biyu raised her hand and swore, "If what I said is false, I will never be reborn after death and will go to the eighteen levels of hell."
"Okay."
Aunt Li then pulled the man up and said, "Of course I believe you."
Biyu stood up nervously. Aunt Li placed her hand on her abdomen and asked, "Biyu, has my period been delayed for a day this month?"
"Master, it was pushed for a whole day."
Biyu was cautious and gently reminded: "Master used to push it for one or two days every month."
At the beginning, Aunt Li made a fool of herself because of this matter.
Every month, Aunt Li would delay her period for a day or two and think she was pregnant. When her period came, she would be in a particularly bad mood and difficult to please.
"well."
Aunt Li sighed deeply, pounded her belly hard, and said unhappily, "Why is my belly so disappointing?"
"Master, don't panic. What if you are pregnant?" Biyu held her hand and comforted her subconsciously.
"Yeah, what if it happens?"
Aunt Li looked so cautious, as if she was really pregnant.
"..." Biyu wanted to slap herself in the mouth. Why did she say all these things? When her master had her period, wouldn't she be finished?
Meixiangyuan.
"Xiuhua, go to Youlan Courtyard and ask around. See if anything goes well."
Lin Baozhu finished speaking and changed her tone: "Forget it, it's best not to go at this time."
"Master, the prince and the concubine haven't returned yet. If we don't go, we won't cause more trouble." Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the master would insist on going, and then be misunderstood as having other thoughts.
After all, Aunt Shen's baby is the prince's first child, and there is no room for any mistakes.
In Qiutang Courtyard, Nanny Gui looked towards Youlan Courtyard and said thankfully, "Fortunately, the concubine is not here."
Nanny Gui thought about it and immediately went to guard the door connecting the front and back yards.
The night gradually deepened.
Prince Lin and Concubine Fang returned from a banquet at the palace. As they were about to leave the palace, Chu Cong looked at Dong Yang and asked, "Did something happen in the mansion?"
Dong Yang reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the backyard. Concubine Shen is about to give birth."
On weekdays, Dongyang takes care of the prince's affairs outside. When the prince is out, he is also responsible for some matters in the mansion.
When Dong Yang received the news that Concubine Shen was about to give birth, he immediately rode his horse to guard the palace gate, so that he could report it as soon as possible. As he led his horse, he said, "It's just past the hour of Xu, and Concubine Shen is about to give birth. When I left the house, the three midwives had already arrived."
Chu Cong got off the carriage and mounted the horse. The horse neighed and galloped away, soon disappearing into the night.
"Your Majesty."
Concubine Fang still held the cloak in her hand. She looked at Chu Cong who disappeared into the night with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Hurry, go back home!"
Concubine Fang sat in the carriage, her hands tightly twisting a handkerchief. The watery moonlight poured into the carriage, illuminating Concubine Fang's gloomy face: That bitch, it would be best if she died in childbirth like Princess Lin!
Nanny Gui paced back and forth. There was no news of a birth in Youlan Courtyard yet. As time passed, her mind became more and more complicated.
Suddenly, there was a sound from far away. Nanny Gui looked at the inky figure walking towards her quickly and greeted her hurriedly: "Your Highness."
The corners of the inky black clothes fluttered, and the faint scent of cedar drifted by. When Nanny Gui looked up, the prince's figure had disappeared.
Nanny Gui's eyes dimmed.
Chu Cong hurried all the way to Youlan Courtyard. The courtyard was quiet.
There was no sound in the room, and it didn't sound like a birth at all. He paused, as if remembering the day Qiu Rong died.
It was also such a night that when he rushed back to the palace, everyone knelt down and told him that Qiu Rong and the child were gone.
Under the moonlight, Chu Cong's clear and bright figure seemed to reveal endless coldness.
"Your Majesty."
Liu Si had just finished inspecting the yard, and when she saw Chu Cong standing in the yard, she hurriedly saluted.
"Where is your master?"
Chu Cong's voice was a little deeper than usual, and it seemed to be floating in the evening breeze.
