"Hey, Uncle Li, what's going on? What's wrong with my mother's health?"
While she and Xu Hui were still in the Seventh Palace, Xu Hui only suffered from depression.
After leaving that place, her condition gradually improved. Recently, she was not even noticeably ill. So why did she suddenly end up in the hospital?
Li Chonghua's voice was a little dry, and he was also a little excited as he told Qiao Mei, "Xiao Mei, your mother's health is fine, it's just that... she's pregnant!"
"Pregnant........"
Qiao Mei was a little stunned when she heard those two words.
No, she remembered that Xu Hui was already thirty-nine years old, how could she suddenly get pregnant without taking precautions?
She was definitely an elderly mother, and even in interstellar times with such advanced medical technology, there were still considerable risks involved.
Li Chonghua nodded: "Yes, see if you can come over now. We are at Imperial Star Hospital. Your mother is still inside having a physical examination to see if the child can be kept."
He clearly took Xu Hui's advanced age into account and didn't impulsively say that she must give birth to the baby after she got pregnant.
This satisfied Qiao Mei to some extent. After finding out which floor they were on, she led Ao Cang towards the Imperial Star Hospital.
On the way, Ao Cang couldn't help but ask her about the child.
"An'an, will we have children in the future?"
Qiao Mei wondered if a child could be conceived between a deity and a human.
To be precise, he is still a dragon, and there is a reproductive barrier between him and humans.
Putting those two points aside, even that thing wouldn't get her pregnant, so she firmly shook her head, shattering Ao Cang's fantasy: "There's a high probability she won't get pregnant. What's wrong? Do you like children?"
Ao Cang didn't mean he liked children, but he felt that having children would make his relationship with her more stable.
The thought of a life form created from both of their blood sending shivers down his spine.
But he didn't know how to tell Qiao Mei these things.
He opened his mouth, but ultimately shook his head, his long eyelashes concealing the dark depths in his golden eyes: "No, I was just asking."
They were almost there, so Qiao Mei didn't ask any more questions and led him off the aircraft.
The fourth floor of the hospital is the obstetrics and gynecology department. When Qiao Mei arrived, Xu Hui had just come out.
He was still holding several lab reports in his hand.
Seeing that she was bringing Ao Cang over, Li Chonghua beckoned to her to come over.
All the necessary tests have been completed, and the medication has been given to Xu Hui. She can go home now.
However, Qiao Mei did not agree with Xu Hui's suggestion to discuss the matter after arriving home. Instead, she asked about the general situation on the spot.
Upon learning that the doctor said there were no problems with her health, but that the risks of giving birth were still quite high, at least 40%, Qiao Mei quickly pursed her lips and looked at Xu Hui, her red eyes clearly showing disapproval.
"If this child causes health problems for you, Uncle Li will feel guilty."
"Mother, please think about it again."
A 40% risk is already quite high. Unless it's a 10% risk, she thinks it's more likely that Xu Hui will give birth to the child.
Xu Hui hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Li Chonghua, hoping he would put in a good word for her.
But clearly, Li Chonghua didn't want to see her in danger either. He avoided her gaze and sighed, "Xiao Hui, if the danger is that high, let's take a look or just forget about it."
If having a child really puts Xu Hui's life in danger, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Xu Hui didn't agree, only saying that she was tired and wanted to go home to rest first.
She's pregnant now, so her energy levels are definitely not as high as before. Qiao Mei was afraid something might happen to her, so she suppressed what she wanted to say and took her home.
However, this time she moved directly into Li Chonghua and Xu Hui's new house, intending to try to persuade her again.
Although interstellar petri dish incubation technology exists, it is not yet mature, and the chance of failure is still quite high.
Moreover, even if successful, there are many side effects.
Basically, out of a hundred babies, only about fifty will be completely healthy; there's only a 50% chance of getting a perfectly healthy baby.
This is why Qiao Mei didn't suggest making petri dish babies.
Ao Cang was unaware that there were so many intricacies involved in human childbirth. Seeing Qiao Mei sighing with worry, he offered a more feasible suggestion.
“If your aunt really wants to have this child, I might be able to help her.”
Qiao Mei looked up at him, surprised, and asked, "You can help her? How can you help her?"
"Have you forgotten what I used to do for a living? If she prays to me, I can give her some of my power to bless her child, but whether it will be successful, I don't know yet."
He had not received offerings and prayers from anyone other than Qiao Mei for far too long.
This is similar to what Qiao Mei knew in modern times about praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha, but these things are all about the "mystery" and it's uncertain whether they will actually work.
But if it's Ao Cang, then it's definitely possible.
The prerequisite is that he can receive Xu Hui's prayers.
There was no other way at the moment. After thinking it over and over again, and confirming that the power of his wish to return to Xu Hui would not be of any great harm to him, she knocked on Xu Hui's door that night and told her about it.
"If this method doesn't work either, Mother, please listen to me and stop insisting."
She would tell Xu Wenfeng about it if necessary.
She couldn't persuade him, but Xu Wenfeng must have been able to.
Xu Hui knew why Qiao Mei was doing this. After nodding, she followed the same way Qiao Mei had previously offered sacrifices to Ao Cang, took a deep breath, sincerely put her hands together, and silently recited her wish in her heart.
Not only her, but Ao Cang is also quite nervous now.
This is related to whether he can use other humans to heal his injuries and return to his previous peak condition.
As time ticked by, Ao Cang received no further news. He frowned and looked at the empty space in front of Xu Hui, reminding her, "Prayers require offerings. You can try again with interstellar coins or other offerings."
In their nervousness, they all forgot this point.
Qiao Mei usually offered Star Coins as tribute for her prayers, so Xu Hui simply took out some Star Coins as well and made her prayers again.
After this prayer ended, Ao Cang clearly sensed a golden power of prayer entering his body and heard Xu Hui's prayer.
He opened his golden eyes in surprise, staring at the faint golden glow emanating from Xu Hui's body. He was stunned for a long time because it had been so long since he had seen it.
Only when it was time for him to return the power of his vow did he suppress his complicated feelings and bestow the power of his vow upon Xu Hui, concentrating it on the area around her abdomen.
