Chapter 195 The Water Broke
Dongfang Yuning, who was in the late stages of pregnancy, truly experienced what it meant to "take every step with difficulty."
She had a slender frame to begin with, and after becoming pregnant with twins, her belly became surprisingly large, like a round ball forced onto her petite body.
When walking, he had to lean back, his hands clumsily supporting his heavy belly, his steps were slow and staggering, just like a noble and clumsy emperor penguin.
This look terrified everyone.
Old Madam Xiao burned incense and prayed to Buddha every day, and Dongfang Qiwu and Nangong Yue wished they could stay with her for twelve hours a day.
Nangong Ye, on the other hand, has completely transformed into an active volcano that is always on the verge of eruption.
He still held her tightly, but the muscles in his arms were tense and every breath he took was heavy and suppressed.
He didn't dare to use force for fear of squeezing her, but he also didn't dare not to use force for fear of making her fall.
There were more and more bloodshot in those deep eyes, filled with deep anxiety, fear, and an almost desperate desire to protect.
He hardly ever slept anymore.
At night, he would keep his eyes open, and in the faint light of the night pearl, he would stare at his sleeping wife and her heart-pounding belly without blinking.
His fingertips gently stroked the thin belly, feeling the powerful movements of the two little guys inside, but his heart was cold.
Too big... Really too big...
How could his Ning'er bear it?
He even began to frantically flip through medical books, looking for any possible way to reduce the risk of childbirth. The low pressure emanating from his body made all the secret guards and servants silent and terrified, and they walked on tiptoe.
Only when facing Dongfang Yuning would he suppress all negative emotions and force out a gentle smile, even though that smile was uglier than crying.
How could Dongfang Yuning not know his fear?
She was afraid too. Although she had the support of painless fertility pills and System 118, it was her first time giving birth to twins, so she'd be lying if she said she wasn't nervous.
But she could only pretend to be calm and comfort him with a smile every day:
"Don't be afraid, my dear husband. Ning'er is very strong! After we unload the cargo, we will go together to try all the delicious food in Yanmao!"
However, the more she did this, the more Nangong Ye's heart tightened.
His Ning'er is always like this. Even though she is obviously afraid, she still comes to comfort him.
That night, everything was silent.
Dongfang Yuning did not sleep well because her huge belly made her uncomfortable no matter how she lay down.
Nangong Ye, as usual, turned sideways towards her, one arm gently around her, the other hand carefully protecting her belly, his eyes surprisingly bright in the darkness.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yuning frowned in his sleep, hummed unconsciously, and tried to turn over clumsily.
Nangong Ye woke up immediately, and skillfully reached out to support her, with gentle movements. He turned over and adjusted his posture at that moment -
"ah!"
Dongfang Yuning suddenly opened his eyes and let out a short cry of surprise!
She clearly felt a warm, uncontrollable current surging out from under her body, instantly soaking the mattress!
"Ning'er?!"
Nangong Ye's heartbeat suddenly stopped! In the dim light, he saw her instantly pale face and astonished eyes, and a sense of overwhelming panic instantly gripped him!
"Husband..."
Dongfang Yuning's voice had a slight tremor that was barely noticeable, but more of a strange calmness that said, "It's finally here."
"My...my water broke...I'm giving birth!"
These words sounded like thunder in Nangong Ye's ears!
Even though he had prepared himself mentally and rehearsed the process countless times, when the moment finally arrived, the overwhelming fear still poured over him from head to toe like ice water, almost freezing his blood!
He sat up suddenly, his movements stiff and out of control due to extreme panic.
He even forgot to breathe, his mind was blank, and only the words "Ning'er is about to give birth" were echoing wildly!
“Someone come!!!”
The next second, a hoarse, violent, and almost broken roar, like the cry of a wounded beast, suddenly exploded from Nangong Ye's chest and instantly penetrated the silent Prince Yong's Mansion!
"Secret guards! Call the midwife! Call the doctor! Everyone, get ready! The princess is about to give birth! Hurry!!!"
The secret guards guarding the outer room and outside the hall were like being electrocuted and took action instantly!
Figures shot in different directions like ghosts, and the lights in the entire palace were all lit up in a few breaths, as if it were daytime!
After Nangong Ye finished yelling, he turned around abruptly, his hands trembling, yet he held Dongfang Yuning's shoulders very gently. His voice was distorted by extreme fear, and he spoke incoherently:
"Ning'er! Ning'er, don't be afraid! Your husband is here! Your husband is here! It's okay! It will be okay!"
His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and the panic in his eyes was almost overflowing. He was a thousand times more nervous than Dongfang Yuning, the person involved!
Dongfang Yuning felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw him like this.
She tried to force a soothing smile, even though beads of sweat appeared on her forehead due to the sudden pain of contractions.
"Husband...don't panic..."
She took a breath, her voice steady.
"Medicine... take the red jade bottle I prepared... the painless fertility pills..."
right!
medicine!
The medicine developed by Ning'er!
Nangong Ye felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and almost rushed to the locked cold jade box beside the bed. He had been hiding the key close to his body, and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly aim at the keyhole!
After much difficulty in opening it, he accurately found the red jade bottle marked by Dongfang Yuning with "Floating in the Air, Painless Ascension Edition", and poured out a round, crystal white pill that exuded a faint, cool fragrance.
He rushed back to the bed, carefully helped Dongfang Yuning up, fed the pill to her mouth, and quickly brought her warm water.
Dongfang Yuning took the pill from his hand and swallowed it.
The pill melted in my mouth, and a cool and soothing breath spread instantly, as if countless gentle hands gently soothed the soreness and tightness brought by the increasingly intensified contractions.
[Ding! 'Dizzy Ecstasy - Painless Ascension Version' has taken effect! Pain nerves blocked by 90%! Pleasure increased by 30%!]
Increase cervical dilation speed by 15%! Stamina maintenance buff loading! Host! Keep it up! You're the best!
The electronic sound of 118 brought a rare hint of tension and encouragement.
The medicine took effect, and the physical discomfort was greatly alleviated. Dongfang Yuning's expression relaxed a lot.
She looked at the man in front of her, whose whole body was still tense and whose eyes were red, and reached out her hand with heartache, gently stroking his haggard cheek.
"Husband...don't worry..."
Her voice was gentle and soothing.
"Ning'er will be fine... From now on, we won't have any more children... Just these two are enough... I won't let my husband worry so much anymore..."
This sentence was like a key, instantly opening the floodgate of fear that had been suppressed in Nangong Ye's heart for months!
He looked at his wife who was still comforting him even at this time, and all his strength and disguise collapsed!
He suddenly lowered his head and buried his face in her sweaty neck. His body trembled uncontrollably and his voice was choked and broken:
"Ning'er...my Ning'er..."
