Chapter 28: The wet nurse died
"Take a good look at this pitiful woman in front of you. What on earth is she?"
The ghost screamed miserably, and in an instant, her flesh rotted rapidly. Her overly white skin became almost transparent inch by inch, and a strong corpse stench emanated from her body. Everyone took a few steps back in fear, covering their noses with horror.
Who would have thought that the woman crying so pitifully was actually a ghost in human skin.
"ah!"
Liu Qingyin had already had a nightmare last night, and was caught off guard by seeing such a scene. Her face turned pale and she fainted.
"Qingyin!"
Song Tingchen's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped forward to support the man. When he glanced at Su Tan's indifferent expression, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation in his heart.
He moved his lips and was about to say something when screams were heard in the delivery room.
"Her Royal Highness, please push harder!"
"The baby's head is coming out!"
"Amitabha, thank God, if the Crown Princess just tries a little harder, the baby will be born!"
“Wow—”
A loud cry rang out, and the Crown Princess was soaked in sweat. She lost all her strength in an instant, like a kite with a broken string, without any strength left. She closed her eyes heavily like a withered flower leaf.
"It's the little grandson!"
"Hurry up and tell His Highness the good news! The Crown Princess has given birth to a little grandson!"
"The Crown Princess has fainted!"
The maid's anxious cry was heard, followed by the midwife's comforting voice with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. The Crown Princess is just too tired. Let her take a nap first. She will be fine when she wakes up."
The maid heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and immediately boiled some hot water, intending to clean the Crown Princess's body. However, as soon as she lifted the quilt, the maid's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
"Oh no! The Crown Princess is having a hemorrhage!"
"Someone, call the imperial physician! The Crown Princess is having a hemorrhage!"
Suddenly, dense and distinct cries were heard in the delivery room.
The noise outside the delivery room cannot be heard inside.
But everyone outside could hear every word the person inside said clearly.
The person who suffered hemorrhage was the Crown Princess. However, Song Tingchen, who had nothing to do with the Crown Princess, stood there stiffly like a puppet whose soul had been drained away.
Su Tan frowned and looked at him slowly, "General Song, are you still not going to leave?"
The wind and snow were blowing, making the wound on his face particularly painful. Song Tingchen looked at Su Tan deeply, his eyes dark and unclear. "Su Tan, was your childbirth as dangerous as it is now?"
Su Tan's expression was cold, and he actually found it somewhat amusing. "Song Xiao is already seven years old, and General Song only just remembered to ask me whether the situation on the day of my birth was dangerous or not. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Song Tingchen's breathing stagnated and his jawline suddenly tensed.
…
Song Tingchen left with the Song family army, leaving Liu Qingyin in the care of the maid in the mansion. Cui Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Just shake off the snot that falls into your mouth!"
After cursing, Cui Wan turned around and saw that Su Tan had already opened the door of the delivery room and walked in.
Cui Wan spread out her hands and stared closely at the ghost. "Behave yourself!"
…
When Zhichun, the Crown Princess's personal maid, saw Su Tan, she felt as if she had seen her backbone.
"Miss Su, please save the Crown Princess! She's having a hemorrhage!"
Su Tan walked quickly to the Crown Princess, opened his bag, took out a small wooden box, and fed the small honey pill with a strong medicinal fragrance to the Crown Princess.
Although the Crown Princess's condition was critical, fortunately, after taking the pill, the bleeding was finally stopped.
The female doctors, maids and midwives present all breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happens to the Crown Princess, the people they are serving today and the midwife will inevitably suffer the consequences.
Zhichun cleaned the Crown Princess and put on a dry mattress and quilt. "This time, it's all thanks to Miss Su. I wonder what you just fed the Crown Princess?"
Su Tan paused, "Resurrection Pill."
Zhichun was shocked. As the Crown Princess's bride, she was well-informed and experienced, yet she couldn't help but gasp, "The Soul-Restoring Pill made by the Divine Doctor Wangyou?"
Su Tan nodded and was about to pass it off when his brows suddenly furrowed. He quickly stepped to the side of the wet nurse, threw out a talisman, and held the child in his arms.
The man who insulted his mother had a dazed expression on his face, holding a dagger that emitted a cold silver-white light in his hand.
The dagger was just about to hit the child Hui.
There were gasps coming from the delivery room.
However, before everyone could take the wet nurse down, her body suddenly fell to the ground. Ruyizhu was like a rotten tree with her soul drained away, and there was no life left.
Zhichun reached out her hand to feel the nurse's breath, her expression changing again and again as she said bitterly, "She's dead."
Su Tan's face was tense.
The Crown Princess's childbirth was full of twists and turns. There was a birth ghost at first and a problematic wet nurse at the end.
The Crown Princess suddenly woke up at this moment, "Don't hurt my child!"
Su Tan quickly collected his thoughts and walked over to the Crown Princess, holding the child in his arms. "Your Highness, don't worry, the child is fine."
The Crown Princess turned her head blankly, and when she saw that the child was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was because of the bond between mother and son, the Crown Princess' tears flowed uncontrollably at that moment.
Zhichun was busy wiping her tears, but her voice was choked with sobs. "My queen, you can't cry during confinement. Please bear it in."
"Don't worry, the little grandson is fine."
The Crown Princess wiped away her tears and stared at the wet nurse's body with a frosty face. She had carefully selected this wet nurse, but she never expected that this person almost stabbed her.
Unfortunately, the person is already dead, and the clues are gone if we try to trace him.
After all, the dead can't speak.
wrong!
The Crown Princess suddenly looked at Su Tan and weakly grasped his hand, "Master Su, this wet nurse just died. If we can trap her ghost, can we get her to reveal the person behind this?"
Su Tan shook his head.
She sighed softly, "Her Royal Highness, the wet nurse wasn't ordered by anyone. She was controlled by the Gu worm. Even she herself didn't know what she was doing."
The Crown Princess's eyes darkened, and she clutched the quilt tightly. "Zhichun, carefully investigate the wet nurse's whereabouts these past few days. Who has she met? How many sips of water has she drunk? I want to know everything!"
Su Tan paused, "Maybe it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
