In the afternoon, when Da Run Supermarket was relatively quiet, Qingyan sat in the carriage, watching the bustling crowds, and felt very happy.
The supermarket was doing very well, which made her feel more at ease. Yin Genjue Luo had invested a lot of money in the supermarket, all of which was her private savings. In order to prepare more dowries for Songkelierha and her daughter, the two mothers were prepared to work hard for several years.
“Ms. Nian…” Qingyan turned to look at Yin, “Didn’t Ms. Nian go to the imperial concubine selection?”
Qingyan wondered, "Can the young ladies-in-waiting leave the palace now?"
He frowned. How could someone so young do that?
"Little Darling, let's go back right away!" Yin was uneasy. If Nian Shi appeared, Little Darling might be in danger.
Qingyan shook her head; she wanted to watch the show!
"Master, the Nian family's princess is heading this way!" Su Peisheng felt a sense of panic; the Nian family's princess was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
In particular, with her beaming smile, she seemed to want to jump right onto the carriage. The princess was pregnant, and if she were startled, the two little ones might be born prematurely.
"Go back immediately!" Yin gave the order directly.
The carriage immediately turned around and drove forward. A cold glint flashed in Nian's eyes; the Fourth Prince's Consort should be sitting inside the carriage.
She calculated the months and realized that the Fourth Prince's wife should have given birth by now. She was quite bold to still dare to come out like this.
Today, she has put on quite a show.
"Fourth Prince, tomorrow is your birthday?" Qingyan instantly snapped out of her daze. "Don't you need to go to the palace to see your mother?"
Last year, on Yin's birthday, his mother invited the young couple to the Chenggan Palace, and the family of four celebrated a simple birthday together.
Today, they have a child, making them a family of four.
"I won't go. I don't need to attend court tomorrow!" Before returning, Yin had breakfast with his mother, which was considered an early birthday banquet for the family.
This year's birthday is different. Xiao Guai's health is at its most dangerous point, and Yin certainly wouldn't put her in a dangerous situation just for his birthday.
Qingyan smiled slightly; Sisi could spend time with her tomorrow.
The two chatted as they looked outside; they were almost at the entrance to Dashilan.
Qingyan was puzzled. Would the Nian family really give up so easily?
"Fourth Brother, I feel like something's not right!" Qingyan tilted her head and carefully recalled the scene from just now.
"Eru!" Su Peisheng's terrified cry interrupted Yin's thoughts.
He glanced out the car window, then pulled Qingyan into a tight embrace, burying her face in his chest with his right hand.
Erlu and his Dragon Guards suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, but the horses that were charging wildly in the distance were too fast and crashed directly into the carriage shaft.
Su Peisheng tightened the reins, hoping not to startle the horses pulling the carriage.
Contrary to expectations, the horse was startled and suddenly bolted.
Qingyan sensed something was wrong with the horse; the carriage began to sway incessantly. Suddenly, she tensed up and her stomach started to hurt.
"Four...Four..." Qingyan's gasp for breath made Yin feel heartache.
When Su Peisheng heard Qingyan's voice rise eight octaves inside the carriage, he instantly sensed something was wrong; his master was in trouble.
"Little darling, relax!" Yin wasn't sure if Qingyan was going into labor. Imperial Physician Yuan had warned him that her emotional state could lead to false labor.
Qingyan looked into his worried eyes and tried to take deep breaths, but the pain in her stomach only intensified.
"Fourth, it hurts!" Qingyan's brief words sent a chill down Yin's spine; he had never been so worried before.
At this moment, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and Yin seemed to relax.
ah!
Qingyan let out a groan, which instantly made Yin tense up.
"Su Peisheng, hurry back!" Yin dared not delay any longer, as the place where the carriage stopped was clearly off the previous road.
Su Peisheng froze. Consort Tong had repeatedly warned that the Fujin (wife of the Prince Consort) must not be allowed to leave the mansion.
"!" Su Peisheng dared not delay and quickly drove towards the Prince's Mansion.
Holding Qingyan, who was sweating profusely from the pain, Yin felt increasingly uneasy, even cursing Nian Shi in his heart.
Currently, the selection process is still underway. If the Nian family members appear outside, who are the Nian family candidates appearing inside the palace?
"Fourth... Fourth..." Qingyan grabbed Yin's collar, her hands slowly turning white; she was in so much pain.
Yin was somewhat at a loss. In both his lives combined, he had never encountered such a situation. He could remain calm and composed when dealing with important matters of state, but faced with Xiao Guai's pain, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Little darling, we're going back to the manor soon, sweetie!" Yin was at a loss for words, holding Qingyan's hand tightly with his left hand, hoping to give her strength.
He felt his legs were a little wet and instantly understood what Imperial Physician Yuan meant; Qingyan must be about to give birth.
"Master, we've arrived!" Su Peisheng gestured to Erlu, signaling all the hidden Dragon Guards to appear and clear the way for the carriage, returning to the mansion in the shortest possible time!
Upon reaching the second gate, Yin wrapped Qingyan in a cloak and lifted her horizontally off the carriage.
"Sulan, hurry and fetch the midwife. Also, have Aunt Shuzhu come over!" Yin was extremely relieved that Shuzhu had returned to the mansion with him.
If Shuzhu were not at the residence, Yin would feel insecure.
Upon hearing Su Lan's report, Shu Zhu rushed over from her room. Seeing Qing Yan being taken to the delivery room by Yin, she held her hand, hoping to encourage Qing Yan.
"Fourth Prince, you should get out of here quickly!" Men are not allowed in the delivery room. Shu Zhu knew about the innocent relationship between the two of them since childhood. Consort Tong had also warned Shu Zhu that no matter what unexpected things happened during childbirth, Yin should never be allowed to stay in the delivery room.
