The spirit pearl condensed and slowly rose a short distance, hovering in mid-air.
Gu Nanshu had just caught his breath when the excruciating pain struck again.
He stared at his abdomen in disbelief.
"ah!"
A loud, not-too-loud hissing sound accompanied by a strange movement in his abdomen, and another transparent, round object separated from his body, but this one was noticeably lighter in color than the previous one.
Gu Nanshu took a deep look at it with all his might, and a relieved smile spread across his face.
The spirit pearl slowly rose.
Gu Nanshu had no strength left and fainted.
Leng Qinghan, behind the curtain, watched this scene with a sinister expression. Seeing that both spirit orbs had left her body, she rushed to the bedside and used her inner strength to destroy the spirit orbs.
She said viciously, "Leng Qingning, today I will make you suffer unbearable pain and taste the pain I have endured."
Her eyes were fierce as she reached out to crush the spirit pearls. Suddenly, her pupils contracted slightly, and one of the spirit pearls, due to insufficient innate qi and blood, lost its luster and made a crisp cracking sound.
Leng Qinghan stared in confusion, her gaze fixed on the dimmed spirit pearl.
A tiny crack appeared in the spirit pearl, through which one could barely make out the shape of an infant inside, but it was not clear.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more crisp sounds, and the bead cracked open with several large cracks again.
After Leng Qinghan saw it clearly, she burst into maniacal laughter.
"Oh, it was stillborn! Hahaha."
He laughed maniacally a few times, then looked at the spirit pearl beside him with an extremely fierce and vicious look in his eyes.
"You must die too!"
She gathered her magic power once more to destroy the Spirit Pearl.
Just as she made her move, a voice came from outside the door, "Junzhu, has the concubine given birth?"
Startled by the shout, Leng Qinghan quickly withdrew her palm and retreated behind the screen, not forgetting to drag Junzhu behind the screen as well.
Going back to a dozen minutes earlier, Junzhu ordered his servants to go out and call for help.
After having dinner, Lu Shiyi went for a walk in the garden. When he passed the entrance of Wangyue Pavilion, he saw a servant running out in a panic, telling him that his concubine was about to give birth.
So he asked Xiao An to wait at the door while he, heavily pregnant, went in to visit Gu Nanshu.
Although he and Gu Nanshu didn't get along well on a regular basis, and he had even refuted her in a few subtle ways, when he arrived at her doorstep and learned that she was about to give birth, how could he not go in to visit her?
He was, after all, a concubine, and she herself was about to give birth...
Thinking about all this, Lu Shiyi walked straight in.
Arriving at the door of Gu Nanshu's master bedroom, he found the door tightly closed and there was no sound coming from inside. Feeling strange, he asked a question.
"Junzhu, has the concubine been born yet?"
No one answered for a long time.
He walked a little further away and asked the servant what was going on inside. The servant, who was dozing off, replied that he didn't know and that he hadn't heard anything.
Lu Shiyi felt something was off, so he walked towards the bedroom again.
He gently pushed open the door and went into the inner room.
At a glance, one could see two spirit orbs floating in mid-air and Gu Nanshu lying on the bed.
Seeing this, he offered his congratulations.
But the other party did not respond to him.
He noticed that the two spirit orbs seemed to be different colors, and then took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the bed.
Gu Nanshu's face was deathly pale and his eyes were tightly closed; he had clearly fainted.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Shiyi was shocked to find that the spirit pearl in front of him had lost its luster and was lifeless. His heart pounded wildly.
He looked uncertainly into the crack in the spirit pearl again, and what he saw made his heart pound and his breath catch in his throat.
"How could this be?" he exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Shiyi panicked immediately and tried to call for help.
He staggered to the door, and then an idea suddenly flashed into his mind.
"I don't get along with Gu Nanshu!"
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Lu Shiyi stopped in his tracks. He was extremely nervous. He had seen it clearly just now: the child inside the spirit pearl was gone, and that child was a girl!
She is the eldest daughter of the wife!
Gu Nanshu's child is dead, and he has contradicted Gu Nanshu several times. Now that there is no one else here but him, if he runs to call for help now, others will inevitably misunderstand that he is the one who killed Gu Nanshu's child!
He will be speechless with anger at that time!
With his eldest daughter gone, who would believe him?
Even if Leng Qingning were here, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that she would trust him completely.
He dared not overestimate his importance in Leng Qingning's heart.
But what about his own children if no one believes him?
Thinking of the child in his belly, Lu Shiyi couldn't think of anything else; only one thought occupied his mind.
run! ! !
He couldn't let others misunderstand that he did it.
His eyes sharpened, and he composed himself, stepping out of the room.
At this moment, Leng Qinghan, who was behind the screen, moved.
Just as Lu Shiyi strode out of the main courtyard, he suddenly saw two anxious old men walking towards him from a distance; they were Wen Gong.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyi hurriedly hid in the flower bushes, narrowly escaping unharmed; the two constables didn't see him.
He then quietly left the main courtyard.
Just as he stepped out of the main courtyard, he encountered his husbands walking together again. In a moment of panic, he hid behind the door, and the instant he went inside, he was covered in sweat.
The group of husbands walked into the main courtyard from a distance, and no one noticed him.
Lu Shiyi, who was hiding behind the door, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to stay a moment longer. After everyone went in, he immediately came out and walked towards the gate of Wangyue Pavilion.
The young men in front did not turn around, but Meng Xu, who was walking at the very back, seemed to hear a faint sound of hurried footsteps. He quickly turned around to look.
I saw Lu Shiyi's figure disappear around the corner.
Meng Xu wondered, when did Lu Shijun arrive? And why did he leave again?
Lin Xianzhi called to him from the front, and he responded and strode to catch up with the others.
Bedroom (Back to the moment Lu Shiyi left)
Leng Qinghan shifted her body slightly.
Leng Qinghan was about to make a move when she heard footsteps approaching, so she had to give up, cursing under her breath, "Damn it, this is never going to end."
After she finished cursing, her face turned cold, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and hid behind the screen again.
Wen Gong pushed open the door and entered; the two went into the inner room.
Startled by the scene before them, the two exclaimed in unison.
Leng Qinghan picked at her ear, feeling really annoyed.
One of the old men reacted quickly and performed first aid on Gu Nanshu, while the other old man immediately took out the fertility fruit, poured out the juice, and fed it to him…
Leng Qinghan's anger surged, and she decided to kill both old men as well, unable to bear it any longer.
She waited for the opportunity to quietly approach the two busy people...
The two were completely unaware of this.
Fortunately, the husbands' voices came in just in time, like a savior breaking the ice and shattering the illusion.
"My lord, we've come to see you. How are you?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Qinghan was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She made a decision in the blink of an eye, and in just a moment, she flew to the roof and disappeared.
The two officials were so busy they were panting, they didn't even look up, let alone reply.
