Chapter 40 A Glimmer of Hope



Then, Xia Ju, along with Luo Ye and Zhi Qiu, stepped forward and bowed, replying, "Your Majesty, all the noble ladies, consorts, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses below the rank of concubine were sent back by the Emperor before Your Majesty gave birth to the Eighth and Ninth Princes."

Ituma Shushu was a little surprised. These noble people, such as Changzai, Ying, and Gege, rarely get to see Yongzheng. They must be overjoyed.

But Emperor Yongzheng sent me back so quickly, wouldn't he hold a grudge against me?

She thought to herself: It's obvious without even thinking that among these important people, such as concubines, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses, someone must have put her in their little notebook.

Xia Ju paused for a moment before continuing, "After seeing the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, the Emperor also dismissed Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi."

Moreover, the Emperor and Empress have just moved to the place where the wind and moon are bright.

After listening, Ituma Shushu felt a little tired. She perked up, nodded to Xia Ju, and said softly, "Yes, I understand."

Then she said with a smile, "You have all worked hard today, and I will reward you handsomely."

Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Luo Ye, Zhi Qiu, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling excitedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ituma Shushu smiled faintly, waved her hand, and gestured for Xia Ju, Dong Mei, and the others to get up.

She thought for a moment and then solemnly instructed, "Xia Ju and Dong Mei, you two take the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince to the next room to take care of them. Chu Yin and Chu Ling, you two also go to the next room to take care of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."

Then Ituma Shushu carefully instructed, "His Majesty is worried about the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince. He has already instructed several nannies to take care of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince until they turn one year old before returning to the Imperial Household Department to report back."

Xia Ju and Chu Yin, you two will mainly be assisting Granny Dong and Granny Quan in caring for the Eighth Prince. Dong Mei and Chu Ling, you two will mainly be assisting Granny Hong and Granny Hua in caring for the Ninth Prince.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju and Dong Mei replied solemnly.

She then gently instructed, "Luoye and Zhiqiu, you two will stay here to serve me."

Fallen Leaves and Autumn's Blush bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Finally, Ituma Shushu said softly, "Xiaju, Dongmei, bring the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju and Dong Mei replied with a bow.

Ituma Shushu looked at the Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince, who were being held in front of her by Xia Ju and Dong Mei, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and love.

Her hands gently stroked the delicate faces of the Eighth and Ninth Princes, her heart melting with tenderness.

"My precious child." Her voice was soft and full of joy.

Ituma Shushu's eyes shone with maternal love as she whispered, "Do you know? From the moment you first kicked gently inside my belly, I've been looking forward to this moment."

She lowered her head and kissed the foreheads of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

Ituma Shushu raised her head again and said softly to Xia Ju, Dong Mei and the others, "I am tired. Luo Ye and Zhi Qiu, please help me rest. Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling, please take good care of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju and Dong Mei replied with a bow.

Only at this moment did Ituma Shushu truly relax and prepare to rest.

However, after she lay down, she suddenly remembered what Xia Ju had said: "The Emperor and the Empress have just moved to the place where the wind is clear and the moon is bright."

Ituma Shushu almost forgot that she was about to give birth; for a moment, she was even thinking of doing a somersault to sit up.

Ituma Shushu immediately beamed with joy. Could it be that the "Return to the Past Spray" was finally starting to work?

After sacrificing so much of her life force, she finally saw a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, she disregarded her exhaustion and forced herself to stay awake, thinking to herself: I should take another look at "Dawn Mall" so that I can sleep peacefully.

So she silently said, "Dawn Mall," and then "Open."

After opening "Dawn Mall", Ituma Shushu looked at the light blue and light pink buttons in the upper left corner of the "Dawn Mall" virtual transparent panel.

Then, she used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the light pink button in the upper left corner of the "Dawn Mall" virtual transparent panel.

The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:

[Yongzheng]

Lifespan: 4 years and 1 month

Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.

In order to prolong Yongzheng's life, she now really hopes that the Empress or Consort Ning will soon have good news to share!

Ituma Shushu once again used her mind to transform into a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the "Dawn Mall" virtual transparent panel.

The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:

Ituma Shushu

[Vitality Points: -]

Lifespan: 6 years and 1 month

Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.

She remembered that her last life force value was -, and three months later, her current life force value is -.

That's because she was pregnant with twins, and for the past three months, Ituma Shushu had been very careful, so she only collected a little bit of her life force through daily check-ins.

After closing "Dawn Mall", she thought to herself: I can finally rest in peace and officially start my postpartum confinement.

The next day, not long after dawn.

"Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother." This was the voice of the Seventh Prince, Hongzhao.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has arrived." It was Luoye's voice.

Ituma Shushu opened her eyes and whispered, "Hongzhao."

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said happily, "Mother, you're awake."

“Yes, Mother is awake,” Ituma Shushu replied softly.

She continued softly, "Hongzhao, have you seen your two friends yet?"

"Mother, Youyou is out!" Hongzhao said with delight.

“Yes, Hongzhao didn’t see Mother yesterday afternoon, did he? That’s because Mother went to pick up two friends.” She blinked and said.

Hongzhao pouted and complained to Ituma Shushu, "Father said Hongzhao should be good."

Ituma Shushu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, you have to listen to your father and be a good girl."

Hongzhao's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "Mother."

Ituma Shushu suppressed a laugh, put on a helpless expression, and said, "Even your mother has to listen to your father."

"Alright, isn't Hongzhao going to see his two friends?" she said softly to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.

“Mother, Hongzhao is going.” Hongzhao said loudly to Ituma Shushu.

"Chunhua, Qiuyue, you two take the Seventh Prince to the next room to see the Eighth and Ninth Princes," Ituma Shushu instructed gently.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chunhua and Qiuyue replied with a bow.
