Chapter 401 Extra: Protecting the Big and the Small



What followed was the most troublesome period for Duanmu since he was born.

He couldn't leave his mother behind, nor could he leave the camp behind, so he had no choice but to run between the two.

Fortunately, after five months of pregnancy, the princess's health gradually stabilized. At least, she could eat, drink, and get out of bed and walk.

However, she was too exhausted in the early stage. She changed a lot: she lost her waist, moved clumsily, had spots on her face, and had obvious bags under her eyes. She didn't wear makeup, her hair was simply tied up, and she wore cotton clothes. She had no image at all...

The only good thing was her mood. She smiled every day as she prepared things for her future child.

Whenever Duanmu Hui comes back, she will definitely pull him aside and talk for a long time about whether he is a younger brother or a younger sister.

Duanmu was extremely annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry. He just held it in and wanted to go out and find someone to fight... Jinzi was now a duke, and he had stationed people at the city gate. As soon as he came back, Jinzi would disappear...

Old Mrs. Wen behaved impeccably. She came almost every day, and even if she didn't come, she would bring something. Although it wasn't gold or silver, it was all very rare, the freshest vegetables, new fruits, fish and shrimp. She always ordered delicious meals and sent them over.

Duanmu Hui was quite satisfied when he saw this: Well, the Wen family is quite sensible.

However, I didn’t see Wen Feng much this time when I came back, so I asked casually.

The princess smiled faintly and said, "He has a lot of things to do."

Duanmu Hui was very slow in this regard and didn't pay much attention to it. When he came back half a month later, it was still the same...

He hadn't seen Wen Feng yet until he left. On the way back to the camp, he suddenly remembered this matter and immediately sent the people around him back to investigate.

As a result, when that person came back and said...it turned out that Wen Feng had a new love!

This new love was actually mentioned in the previous article. She was the dancer who was tied with a rope and danced in mid-air.

Duanmu Hui was once again in disbelief. He... really dared?

Holding a long knife in his hand, he gently scraped the mud off his shoe uppers... My uncle always said to him: Look for the faults in yourself first...

He looked for it and found that, well, there was something wrong with him!

Too "honest"! People will bully you because they see you are honest!

Although he figured it out, he had a lot of things to do and couldn't go back to deal with the people who bullied him for a while.

So, the day finally came...

News came from the palace: the princess was about to give birth prematurely and was having a difficult labor.

In the Princess's Mansion, Wen Yu, Madam Zhang, Old Lady Wen, and Brother Feng's wife were waiting in the yard outside the Princess's delivery room. They all looked nervous.

The most frightened among them was Old Lady Wen.

Because, at the critical moment, she couldn't find that bastard! She searched everywhere she could possibly go!

The key point... She also heard that when Wen Feng left, the princess was already feeling unwell, but he only ordered to call a doctor, but did not stop and just left! This evil creature!

Could it be that he has gone back to his old ways?

He lingered over to Wen Yu and said, "Ah Yu, do you know where your second uncle went? Why hasn't he come back yet? I looked for him in all the places he usually goes, but he's not here. Do you think he's in trouble?"

Wen Yu saw that the old lady was still covering up for Wen Feng, so she said, "I don't know if Second Uncle is in trouble, but if the princess continues like this, General Duanmu will come back, and he will definitely be in trouble!"

"Ouch!" Old Madam Wen said anxiously, "Ayu, you have powerful people here, can you help grandma look for it? This is no joke!"

The arrival of this child made Old Lady Wen quite surprised. How powerful Duanmu Hui is now! He can stick closely to him through this child. Whether it is a son or a daughter, it is all right!

She secretly told Wen Feng to take good care of the princess, and he promised! Why did he disappear at the critical moment? Everyone who followed him asked, but except for the long-time attendant who disappeared with him, no one else knew anything! Old Lady Wen was also thoughtful, and secretly asked someone to check Wen Feng's account. But she found that the silver she put in his hands had recently gone out for tens of thousands!

No, this bastard must have had his old illness again! Wen Yu looked at the sweaty old lady and thought to herself: Wen family, I didn't do anything, I just watched from the side.

No matter how high they go, virtue will eventually lead them to destruction!

"Okay. I'll send someone to check it out!"

At this moment, Duanmu Hui walked in... "What happened?!"

Wen Yu glanced at him and said nothing.

Old Madam Wen took a deep breath and said, "We rushed here as soon as we got the news. We invited Dr. Huang, who served my nephew, and the midwife. We also invited the best female doctor from the Imperial Hospital. But the baby hasn't been born yet..."

Duanmu Hui rubbed his hands and asked Doctor Huang: "What other medicine do you need?"

Doctor Huang said: "General, the medicines we have prepared are all of the best and there is no shortage... For the others, please ask..." He pointed to the female doctor next to him.

Duanmu Hui turned to look at the female doctor again, and the female doctor said, "General... If we don't give you the medicine to induce labor, I'm afraid you won't be able to give birth. But if you give you the medicine to induce labor, it depends on whether you want to save the baby or the child. If you save the child, the mother will probably have hemorrhage. If you save the baby, the fetus may not survive. No matter what, we can't drag it out like this... It could end up with two lives. At this critical moment, someone has to make the decision!"

Duanmu Hui's face was pale, but he was quite calm. "You go in and clean up, I'll go check on her."

The female doctor and the midwife went in.

Old Madam Wen came over and said, "Wen Feng has been busy with work recently, and he doesn't even know that the princess is like this! I've sent someone out to look for her, and he'll be back soon! Do you want to wait for him to come back..."

Duanmu Hui had a blank expression on his face.

The female doctor came out: "General, please!" He walked into the delivery room: "Mother..." He had never been afraid of anything, but now he was scared. He knelt in front of the princess' bed and said, "Mother."

The princess closed her eyes, her expression indescribable.

After calling out several times, she finally woke up. "Son... I'm afraid I'm going to die."

"Mother..." Duanmu buried his head in the princess's hand. The princess gently touched him, "If the doctors have a way to give birth to your brother, let them do it!"

"Is it your brother?"

"Yes. Don't worry about me! Let him live. I'll leave him to you. Take my last name and name him Wenrui. Mother has caused you trouble. From now on, you and he will depend on each other..."

"Mother!" Duanmu Hui was heartbroken but couldn't cry.

"Promise mother..."

"Son agrees!"

"Hurry up... I can't hold on much longer. If there are two dead, I will die with regret!"

"Okay. Mother, shall we let Wen Feng accompany you?"

The princess shook her head: "No. I'll go find your father!"

Duanmu Hui nodded to the female doctor and went to the outer room, staring blankly at the door. He didn't know how much time had passed...

Finally, a faint sound of a child crying was heard from the room.

Madam Zhang, Wen Yu, and Old Lady Wen were outside and were overjoyed when they heard the news. "It's born! It's born!"

But there was no other sound in the room.

After a while, Duanmu came out with a small package in one arm.

Old Madam Wen stepped forward quickly, but Duanmu stopped her with his other arm and said in a deep voice, "This is my younger brother. Mother named him Wenrui. Mother is gone..."

Wen Yu and Madam Zhang cried out, their eyes reddened.

Old Madam Wen was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand: "How... could this happen?"

The princess is dead?

Oh my God... all the glory brought by this has vanished?

And... Wenrui? Taking the princess's surname? How could this be possible? ! But she looked at Duanmu and didn't dare to speak. She only looked at Wenyu.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the gate, and several soldiers came in carrying two people.

Duanmu Hui handed the small package to the nurse who had just prepared it. The nurse held it in her arms, and several people followed her and left...
