After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 932 - 927: Little Princess

The existence of the Unity Gu is truly hard to believe.

Yet Su Jin’s face bore no trace of worry, easing the Princess Consort’s mind somewhat.

But the news came too late, she has already gone into labor, the child is about to be born.

Contractions came in waves, the Princess Consort clutched the blankets, screaming incessantly.

Su Jin’s medical skills are superb, but delivering a child is the midwife’s task.

The midwife asked Su Jin to wait outside the room.

Inside the room, there were maids brought in by the midwife to assist, along with Mrs. Wang and Xique overseeing things, so Su Jin was not concerned.

Childbirth is like crossing the gates of hell, but not everyone experiences complications, especially when the Princess Consort has given birth before. Having had one child already, the risks decrease significantly with subsequent births, and the process is faster due to experience.

But no matter how quick it might be, everyone feels it’s slow.

The maids and women waited anxiously in the courtyard.

Mrs. Tang stayed with Su Jin for half an hour, then Su Jin asked Mrs. Tang to return home.

It’s uncertain when the Princess Consort will give birth, it wouldn’t be sensible for her to stay here indefinitely.

In the Imperial Palace, at the Imperial Study.

Even before the Emperor could fully rejoice over the border victory, he received news of Xie Jingchen encountering an incident during his night raid.

The smile on his face instantly froze.

Though he wasn’t particularly satisfied with this son-in-law, he was still his son-in-law.

Just like that, an incident occurred, and the Emperor couldn’t fathom how to explain this to Su Jin.

Initially he feared the dangers of the battlefield and didn’t want Xie Jingchen to go.

But since Xie Jingchen is the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, destined to inherit the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, he wasn’t someone who lived off the title of Prince Consort.

Thinking there were the Old Prince, the Prince, and Marquis Dongxiang present, surely they wouldn’t let anything happen to Xie Jingchen.

Who would have guessed that what he feared came true, and indeed, an incident occurred.

The Emperor plans to conceal this news for now, not to inform Su Jin, but it’s too late, the news has already spread.

Su Jin fainting from sorrow also reached the Emperor’s ears.

The Emperor dispatched Eunuch Fu to visit.

Hardly had Eunuch Fu left the Imperial Study and walked a hundred steps when Doctor Zhao returned to the palace.

Knowing the Emperor was concerned about Princess Consort Zhenbei, Doctor Zhao hurried to report.

Before Doctor Zhao could salute, the Emperor impatiently asked, "How is the Princess?"

If it weren’t for Su Jin’s instructions not to mention her pregnancy.

Doctor Zhao would have planned to directly bring good news to the Emperor.

With a grandson, the Emperor would surely be delighted.

Unfortunately—

The Princess Consort forbids it.

Doctor Zhao quickly said, "Though the Princess Consort did faint, she was fine after waking up. There is no need for the Emperor to worry about the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, his life is not in danger."

The Emperor furrowed his brow.

He certainly hopes the Heir of Prince Zhenbei is safe, but just as the border incident news arrived, how could Doctor Zhao already know he was fine?

Doctor Zhao explained the matter of the Unity Gu to the Emperor.

The Emperor felt somewhat relieved.

But Doctor Zhao also couldn’t clearly explain what the Unity Gu truly was.

The Emperor also summoned the Heir of Marquis Jing Country’s wife to the palace for a thorough inquiry.

After confirming the existence of the Unity Gu, he completely relaxed his breath.

Looking at Qin Hanhan, the Emperor asked, "Can the Unity Gu be extracted?"

Qin Hanhan looked at the Emperor and shook her head.

Though she excels in raising Gu.

She truly didn’t know how to detoxify the Unity Gu.

Since it is the Unity Gu, its purpose is to unite in life and in death, removing it at the end would lose the essence of the Unity Gu.

The Emperor’s brows furrowed tighter.

To the Princess Beimo, the Unity Gu is a beneficial thing that can ensure her safety.

But to the Daqi Princess, it is not.

If this time the Heir of Prince Zhenbei truly faces misfortune, then he, as the Emperor, would not only lose a son-in-law but also a daughter?

The Emperor ordered Qin Hanhan to find a way to detoxify the Unity Gu.

Qin Hanhan found herself in a difficult position.

Daqi knows little about Gu Worms, when it comes to Gu Worms, no one knows more than her.

If she were to find a way to detoxify the Unity Gu, she would have to return to the Southern Border.

After departing the Imperial Study, Qin Hanhan returned to the Marquis Jingguo Mansion to pack her belongings, preparing to set out the next day.

Could the Marchioness Jingguo let her leave?

Qin Hanhan stared at her, "But the Emperor wants a detoxification method, and I won’t find it in Daqi even if I stay for ten years."

The Marchioness Jingguo’s head ached, "The Emperor wants a detoxification method, but Princess Consort Zhenbei might not have the same idea."

"It’s better to consult her before setting off."

Just letting Qin Hanhan return to the Southern Border, the Marchioness Jingguo genuinely couldn’t rest assured.

If it’s not urgent, she prefers to wait for Chu Shun’s return, and have Chu Shun accompany Qin Hanhan to the Southern Border.

But one cannot defy the imperial decree, the solution can only be sought from Princess Consort Zhenbei.

At the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Su Jin was in the main hall, listening to the sounds of the Princess Consort crying out in pain, feeling a bit restless.

She too was pregnant.

The hardships the Princess Consort was enduring would be hers to bear in a few months, inevitably.

Xingxing always hoped Su Jin would become pregnant, but hearing the Princess Consort’s screams, she seemed not as eager anymore.

It hurt too much.

After waiting anxiously for another half hour, a scream pierced the sky.

Then the sound of a baby’s cry followed.

The maids and women in the courtyard rejoiced wildly.

"It’s born."

"The Princess Consort gave birth."

Su Jin stepped out to hear the maid lift the curtain and announce with joy, "It’s a Little Princess."

The maids and women were happy for the Princess Consort.

There is nothing better than having both a son and a daughter.

The Princess Consort suffered for eighteen years, but the heavens ultimately favored her.

Only the Young Master...

The maids and women sighed deeply in their hearts.

Hopefully, just as the Princess Consort said, the Young Master will be alright.

The matter of Su Jin and Xie Jingchen having Unity Gu was only disclosed to the Princess Consort and a few trusted maids, others were unaware.

The Emperor also issued a gag order to Doctor Zhao, forbidding any disclosure.

Doctor Zhao knew that if this matter came to light, especially since the Princess Consort has many adversaries, if someone knew that killing either the Heir of Prince Zhenbei or the Princess Consort would inadvertently take out the other, they might go to any lengths to eliminate one person.

The loud cries of the baby were truly delightful to hear.

Su Jin stepped into the room, the midwife handed the child to Su Jin, smiling broadly, "Both mother and daughter are safe."

Su Jin gazed at the Little Princess, her heart softened like water, "She looks wonderful, just like her mother."

The Princess Consort lay in bed, having endured quite a bit during childbirth, but compared to those who suffer for an entire day and night without delivering, the Princess Consort’s hardship was quite minimal.

From the onset to delivery took only two and a half hours, the Princess Consort still had some strength, not having fainted from exhaustion.

After glancing at the child, tears slipped from the corner of the Princess Consort’s eyes.

Mrs. Wang said happily, "The Princess Consort is worn out, take a good rest first, regain some strength, then look at the Little Princess again."

Su Jin carried the child to the bedside, the Princess Consort took a few glances, then finally drifted off to sleep contentedly.

Inside the Buddhist Hall.

Princess Nanzhang knelt on the prayer mat, her heart in turmoil.

Upon hearing the news of Xie Jingchen’s incident at the border, she was delighted but then received the news of the Princess Consort’s childbirth, pouring cold water on her excitement.

Even if Xie Jingchen died, if the Princess Consort bore another son, the position of Heir wouldn’t fall to her son Xie Jingchuan.

Princess Nanzhang feared she had rejoiced too soon, suppressing that joy, praying sincerely.

A maid ran in enthusiastically, "Princess, the Princess Consort has given birth to a Little Princess."

Though Princess Nanzhang’s Commandery Princess title was revoked, none of these maids dared to call Princess Nanzhang by Consort Liu.

Some pure-hearted ones did, earning twenty lashes from Princess Nanzhang, who dared to forget?

Upon hearing this, Princess Nanzhang’s smile blossomed like a peony.

After such a long time, finally, she received some good news.

The Young Master passed away, and the Princess Consort gave birth to a daughter. The heirship surely belongs to her son.

What does it matter if she’s a concubine?

Her son will be the next Prince Zhenbei!

She will rise through her son’s status!
