Chapter 259 -259: Why Is There Sudden Bleeding?

Xiao Wen had just run out when several figures rushed in as if flying.

“Ah Jiu!”

Jun Yuyan, clad in heavy armor, moved quickly, followed by General Fu and his brothers Fu Heng, each with a face full of anxious worry.

“Xiao Jiu, how are you?”

Murong Jiu’s face was slightly pale as she said to everyone, “I might have started spotting, it’s okay, don’t worry. Even if I give birth now, the child can still survive very well.”

In her previous life, she had given birth prematurely even earlier than this.

Jun Yuyan swiftly removed his heavy armor and gently lifted Murong Jiu in his arms.

“Ah Jiu, don’t be scared, we are all here by your side. Relax, I’ll take you back to the room first, Uncle Zhai is coming right over.”

“I’m not scared, it’s just too sudden, I wasn’t prepared.”

Indeed, it was too sudden because she felt she could still wait another month before giving birth, so she panicked momentarily when she felt the warm flow beneath her.

Fortunately, it wasn’t much and soon stopped, with a bit of a bloody smell. She hoped it was just spotting and not the breaking of the amniotic sac.

In that case, if she hadn’t started dilating yet, the child could still stay in her womb for a few more days.

A few more days is a few days.

Halfway there, Divine Doctor Zhai hurriedly caught up, supported by Hong Yi who was cautious in case he tripped.

Murong Jiu, looking at her master and the worried family and Xiao Wen, felt a surge of warmth and emotion in her heart.

In her previous life, when the sudden onset occurred, she struggled between life and death, feeling isolated without any support, like a floating weed in the ocean, rootless and baseless, without the company of relatives. It was her child, connected by blood, who supported her survival.

She feared that if she died, her child would lack a mother’s love and repeat her fate.

Even in her unconscious state, she faintly heard Jun Yuyan’s voice as he fed her many herbal soups.

It was only when she dreamt of that moment later that she realized it was Jun Yuyan who had stayed outside her birthing room, and when she was hemorrhaging and unclear, it was Jun Yuyan who rushed in to be by her side.

It wasn’t her strong will that allowed her to survive, it was Jun Yuyan who snatched her back from Lord Yama’s clutches.

Now, as Jun Yuyan held her in his arms, she felt an incomparable sense of security, she was not afraid at all.

As she was placed on the bed, Chun Tao and Hong Yi began examining her. General Fu was the first to come over and take her hand, saying:

“Xiao Jiu, your father and brothers are all outside looking after you, don’t be afraid, it will be fine. If it hurts, just scream out, shouting will make it feel a bit better, you know?”

Murong Jiu also grasped his hand in return, her nose tingling with emotion: “I know, Father. I haven’t even celebrated your and my brothers’ victory in battle yet. Instead, I’ve given you all a scare upon arrival, I am an unfilial daughter.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, there’s no daughter more filial than you in the world. If there’s anything, just call us, okay?”

Murong Jiu obediently nodded, watching them leave.

As Xiao Wen left, she also said, “Princess Consort, you will definitely give birth smoothly to your brother or sister!”

Then, Divine Doctor Zhai also stepped aside. Jun Yuyan was too worried and didn’t want to leave, but Murong Jiu didn’t want him to see how embarrassing it was, so she pushed him out.

As Jun Yuyan left, he also took Kai Xuan out, and then stood outside the door himself, his eyes unable to hide his urgent and panicked heart.

“Princess Consort, spotting has started. What should we do? Is it time for birth?”

Chun Tao was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, and Hong Yi was too, but not to the extent of red-eyed anxiety like Chun Tao. Neither of them knew anything about medicine, nor had they ever seen childbirth; they were utterly clueless.

“Don’t panic, let me take a look.”

After checking, Murong Jiu heaved a long sigh of relief, “It’s just a bit of spotting, no water has broken, don’t worry.”

After cleaning up, they allowed her master to come in to feel her pulse and check her belly.

After taking her pulse, Divine Doctor Zhai also heaved a long sigh of relief, “You girl, really scared me to death, suddenly spotting without any warning. Fortunately, you’ve kept yourself in good health, very robust, and your pulse is fine.”

Then he pressed her belly, and sure enough, the baby hadn’t engaged yet, so no need to worry.

“Uncle Zhai, how is it? When might Ah Jiu give birth?”

Having covered Murong Jiu with a brocade quilt, General Fu and the others all came in, and Divine Doctor Zhai said:

“It’s hard to say exactly when the birth will happen, bring in the midwives who were prepared in advance to check on Xiao Jiu’s dilation.”

After all, being a man, it wasn’t appropriate for him to examine her.

Murong Jiu herself could have done it, but with her belly so large, she couldn’t perform such complex movements.

“She’s already here!”

As soon as Jun Yuyan heard from Xiao Wen that Ah Jiu was feeling unwell, he instructed Yang Shan to bring the midwife.

All four midwives had arrived, all out of breath, showing how hurriedly they had come.

The four midwives had been meticulously selected in advance by Jun Yuyan after investigating their backgrounds; they all came from good, simple families and had excellent reputations for delivering children without mishaps. After confirming the right candidates, he kept people monitoring them to avoid any external contact.

These four midwives had received a deposit early on, aware they were to help a noble lady give birth, but never imagined it would be Princess Consort Ling; they were immediately overwhelmed.

However, being experienced, they quickly got over their shock and began to work.

“The Princess Consort’s cervix hasn’t dilated yet; it seems we still need to wait.”

Murong Jiu, on the other hand, was overjoyed—no dilation was good news; she could properly rest and strive to keep the babies in her belly a bit longer.

Jun Yuyan, however, appeared somber, and asked Divine Doctor Zhai and the midwives, “Why did Ah Jiu suddenly start spotting? What is the reason?”

One midwife said, “It’s quite common for a woman to spot before childbirth, Princess Consort. The amount of spotting is not significant, perhaps it’s because the baby is about to engage.”

Another said, “Yes, my lord, you needn’t worry, it’s a very normal occurrence. I have even seen women who spotted every few days during pregnancy, yet managed to lie in bed and still successfully give birth to healthy babies.”

The other two also spoke up, offering their auspicious words.

They were all bright-eyed, appearing somewhat excited; after all, they were in the presence of Prince Ling, who had just returned from battle and was the War God, as well as the General of the Northern Command!

They had gathered early in the morning to join the excitement, but unfortunately, due to the crowd, they could only see Prince Ling, General Fu, and others from a distance, riding tall, majestic horses, clad in armor, a powerful sight to behold.

Who could have imagined that by afternoon, they would actually see Prince Ling, General Fu, and even speak to them so close—it was something they could boast about for a lifetime.

No wonder they were also happy to deliver the births for Princess Consort Ling; in the Capital City, who didn’t know that Princess Consort Ling was a paragon of virtue? That grain prices in the city remained the same as before was all thanks to the Princess Consort.

Otherwise, people would long have been unable to afford grain.

There were still those unscrupulous traders selling high-priced grains and oils within the city!

Murong Jiu couldn’t help but smile, seeing that Jun Yuyan’s expression was still somewhat grave, she spoke up, “My lord, I am a little hungry.”
