Chapter 414 Surprise or Shock?
Qu Tong woke up again three days later, as expected.
Rong Yueqing handed her a glass of water. "Sister Ali, have some warm water first."
"Thank you." Qu Tong took it. "Where are we now?"
“This is a relatively large inhabited planet on the border of Casa…” Rong Yueqing patiently recounted the events of the past three days to Qu Tong.
Rong Yueqing was quite reliable; she followed her previous instructions and did not allow the hospital to draw her blood.
"Congratulations, Sister Ali, it's a baby girl! She's 93 days old, and all her measurements are healthy." Rong Yueqing was genuinely happy for Qu Tong. Naturally, having a baby is a joyous thing no matter where you are.
"Is it a girl?"
Qu Tong touched her stomach. Perhaps because she was quite thin, her lower abdomen was still flat and she wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy.
"Yes." Rong Yueqing nodded.
StarCraft allows gender detection.
If even reproduction is a problem, then people won't be able to choose between men and women.
There is no preference for boys over girls, and no abortions will be performed for girls. Apart from state-authorized hospitals, there are no abortion services available.
For those who provide abortion services without authorization, having their medical license revoked is the least of their worries; in more serious cases, they could be imprisoned and never be released.
“Sister Ali’s daughter will definitely be just as amazing as you when she’s born. She’s a naturally conceived baby, so there’s a high chance she’ll inherit Sister Ali’s excellent genes.” Rong Yueqing sat by Qu Tong’s bedside, looking very envious.
The two chatted for a while when there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door." Rong Yueqing got up and went to open the door.
As a precaution, Rong Yueqing locked the door when she came in.
Qu Tong looked towards the door and was surprised to see Rong Chengjue enter.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be attending a coronation ceremony?"
Qu Tong looked at Rong Yueqing.
Rong Yueqing winked gently at her: [He doesn't know.]
Qu Tong nodded and looked away, silently removing her hand from her stomach.
"It's been postponed." Rong Chengjue glanced at Rong Yueqing. "She's been staying with you and refuses to go back. How can the ceremony proceed without the only princess present?"
Qu Tong was taken aback.
Is it really that brutal? They slaughtered the royal family, leaving only Princess Rong Yueqing alive.
Fortunately, she and Rong Chengjue are not enemies, otherwise they would be really difficult to deal with.
Although Rong Chengjue is not the strongest, he is ruthless and has extraordinary strategies.
Furthermore, such an important matter is postponed so easily. Won't this give others ammunition to impeach us?
Qu Tong looked at Rong Yueqing apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting."
"It's alright, it's alright, Sister Ali, please don't say that. You've helped me so much, I'm happy to be able to help you too."
After Rong Yueqing finished speaking, she secretly glared at Rong Chengjue.
He's using her as an excuse again, even though he was the one who came looking for him.
Rong Chengjue pretended not to see it, his silent gaze falling on Qu Tong.
I did come here specifically for her.
The team he sent to escort Rong Yueqing has already returned, but Rong Yueqing herself has not arrived; she has only sent a message to report that she is safe.
Upon learning that she had left with Qu Tong and had been staying on a remote planet for the past two days, he worried that something might have happened to her, so he came to check on her.
Postponing the ceremony was also a scheme he orchestrated; otherwise, if it had been held as scheduled, there would have been people trying to sabotage it.
"You didn't bring the arrival card I gave you?"
Rong Chengjue's sudden remark left Qu Tong somewhat bewildered.
"Something went wrong; I forgot my spatial control. What happened?"
All she has now is a personal computer.
However, she had bound the entry card to the quantum computer in advance; otherwise, even if Rong Yueqing had brought her along, they wouldn't have been able to enter the Casa Empire directly.
Rong Chengjue's eyes flickered. "It's nothing."
No wonder I only received an entry notice but couldn't see my general location.
He only found out about this after threatening Rong Yueqing.
Qu Tong's physical recovery is going very well. As long as her mental strength recovers, there will be no problem. The baby is also very stable.
Rong Yueqing invited her to go to the capital of the Casa Empire together, and Qu Tong, thinking that she was already there, agreed.
That afternoon, he boarded a special fighter jet and was escorted by the local military, returning to the capital in a grand procession.
On the aircraft, Rong Yueqing pulled down the soundproof panel, handed over a birth certificate, and blinked, "I got it from the nurses' station, my brother and the others don't know."
Qu Tong took it, smiled, and said, "Thank you."
“The baby will need to have a check-up every month from now on, Sister Ali, does His Highness the God of War know about this?” Rong Yueqing carefully observed Qu Tong and asked cryptically.
Qu Tong was flipping through the birth manual and didn't notice Rong Yueqing's expression. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and said, "I don't know yet."
Rong Yueqing opened her peach blossom eyes wide, as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
It took me a while to find my voice again.
"Um... well... I'll keep it a secret for you."
"Yes." She believed Rong Yueqing.
Rong Yueqing remained silent for a while. Qu Tong looked up and noticed Yueqing's unusual behavior.
Rong Yueqing's beautiful peach blossom eyes were still gentle and flowing, but her gaze was evasive, and she stammered as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Looking at Rong Yueqing's adorable appearance, Qu Tong immediately realized what she had misunderstood.
He flicked Yueqing's forehead with his finger and laughed, "It's not what you think. This child is Si Yuting's."
Since Rong Yueqing already knows, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know a little more.
She can't let people misunderstand and think she's cheating on her child's father.
"Huh?" Rong Yueqing was even more surprised now. "Isn't His Highness the God of War supposed to have no fertility score?"
"I don't know either, maybe the measurement was wrong." Qu Tong shook her head, offering a possible excuse.
Si Yuting has never had the chance to return to Abel Star for a medical check-up, and she doesn't know what's going on.
Is it that Si Yuting's fertility value has changed, or is it due to his special physical condition?
She was also very curious.
“Then His Highness the God of War will be very happy to know.” Although Rong Yueqing was surprised, she did not doubt Qu Tong’s words.
Qu Tong subconsciously moved her hand that was resting on her lower abdomen, feeling somewhat dazed.
There was a little life inside, which felt quite magical.
Qu Tong suppressed the urge to send a message to Si Yuting.
I'll wait until I get back in a few days and tell him the surprise in person.
Or perhaps it was fright.
Qu Tong thought about it and unconsciously curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
Rong Yueqing, who was standing next to her, was almost stunned.
*
Rong Chengjue's coronation ceremony was only postponed for two days. The officials who jumped out were all dealt with by Rong Chengjue's people, both openly and secretly, without any hesitation.
Qu Tong moved into the largest palace in the capital with Rong Yueqing, posing as the princess's apothecary friend.
Rong Yueqing doesn't need to get involved in palace intrigues or political struggles; Rong Chengjue can dominate on his own.
Every day, Qu Tong taught Rong Yueqing how to prepare medicines. Although the medicines she prepared were hard to swallow, she still had the theoretical knowledge.
Rong Yueqing is now an intermediate-level pharmacist, and her talent is in no way inferior to Lan Weiying's.
She'll teach her first, and then Old Man Yuan will deepen her understanding next semester. It's very likely that Rong Yueqing will break through to become a senior pharmacist in two years.
