A Ru had been in labor from noon until evening. Finally, the baby's head emerged.
"A Ru, come on! The baby's head is out. It'll be born soon. Come on! Push a bit harder!" After such a long time, seeing the head at last, Mu Fengqie said excitedly.
After hearing Mu Fengqie's words, A Ru, who had been feeling weak, suddenly regained her strength.
"Ah!!"
"Wow..." A cry made everyone inside and outside the room excited.
"She's given birth... She's given birth! A Ru has given birth!" Yuan Yuhan, whose nerves had been tense all day, finally relaxed a bit at this moment. He looked at Jing Xunce beside him excitedly and said.
After A Ru gave birth to the first baby, it was much easier for the second one in her womb. It came out soon. Just as Mu Fengqie finished dealing with the umbilical cord of the baby, she saw A Ru fainting.
Mu Fengqie checked and found that she was just asleep due to exhaustion. There was no big problem, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
She opened the door and went out, then called two people in to carry the two babies out.
"These... Are these my babies?" Yuan Yuhan looked at the tiny bundle in Mu Fengqie's arms. His hands and feet were a bit stiff. He wanted to hold the baby, but was worried about hurting it.
"Don't worry. Hold the baby like I do and it'll be okay." Mu Fengqie smiled when she saw Yuan Yuhan's cautious look.
Yuan Yuhan carefully took the baby according to the method taught by Mu Fengqie. Looking at the tiny baby in his arms, Yuan Yuhan felt that his life was suddenly complete.
"By the way, how's A Ru? Is she okay?" Yuan Yuhan came back to his senses from the surprise and hurriedly asked about A Ru's situation.
"Fortunately, you sent someone to call me quickly. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether A Ru could give birth smoothly." Mu Fengqie felt scared when talking about this. "Now A Ru is fine. She's just a bit exhausted. She'll be okay after a good rest."
Mu Fengqie saw the man waiting for her in the yard. She smiled. Just as she took a step, she fainted without warning.
"Qie'er!" Jing Xunce flew over and caught the falling Mu Fengqie. "Qie'er!"
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
Yuan Yuhan was also frightened by Mu Fengqie. Could something have happened? Yuan Yuhan looked at Mu Fengqie worriedly. If something did happen, not only would Jing Xunce not let him go, but A Ru wouldn't forgive him either.
Fortunately, after the imperial physician came, he didn't find any major problems. It was just that she was too tired, pregnant, and highly stressed. She would be okay after a good sleep.
Then the imperial physician prescribed some sedative prescriptions before leaving. Jing Xunce looked at the person on the bed, touched her cheek, and lay down on the bed fully dressed.
When Mu Fengqie woke up the next day, she saw a person lying beside her. But she wasn't nervous at all because she felt the familiar aura of this person - Jing Xunce.
"Qie'er, you're finally awake." Jing Xunce touched Mu Fengqie's face. If Qie'er didn't wake up, he would have called the doctor.
"I..." As soon as Mu Fengqie spoke, she felt her throat was about to smoke.
Jing Xunce also noticed Mu Fengqie's abnormality. He quickly got up, poured a glass of water for Mu Fengqie, and helped her drink it slowly.
"Did I faint?" Mu Fengqie was still conscious before fainting and knew she was about to faint.
"Yes. The imperial physician said you were too tired and stressed, so you fainted." Jing Xunce said.
"Yes, indeed. I'm fine. Help me up. I'll go and see A Ru." After Mu Fengqie got dressed and opened the door, she saw that the sun was already high in the sky.
When Mu Fengqie came, A Ru had already woken up. Yuan Yuhan was feeding A Ru porridge. When he saw Mu Fengqie coming, Yuan Yuhan put down the porridge in his hand. A Ru had almost finished eating.
"Sister~" A Ru felt much more relaxed when she saw Mu Fengqie.
"How are you?" Mu Fengqie asked.
"I feel much better. I'm much more relaxed." A Ru said with a beaming smile.
"Yes. As long as you don't feel unwell. Next, you need to have a good confinement. Confinement is very important. You can't be careless. Otherwise, you'll leave some root causes in your body later." Since there were no elders above, even if those from Tianlin Kingdom wanted to come, they were unable to do so.
So this matter could only be reminded by Mu Fengqie. Although she had never given birth, she had been a doctor for so many years and had delivered many babies, so she was very experienced.
Yuan Yuhan stood aside and listened attentively. After Mu Fengqie finished speaking, he asked someone to prepare things.
After Mu Fengqie gave her instructions, she left. There was nothing for her to do here, so she'd better not disturb the two of them.
At night, Yuan Yuhan sent the midwife who had delivered the baby that day over, saying that he hoped the marquis could help because he was too busy taking care of the princess and couldn't spare the time.
Jing Xunce almost sent the person back untouched when he heard this! He wanted to accompany his woman. Didn't he need to? If Mu Fengqie hadn't stopped him, he would have taken action long ago.
"Okay, I understand. Go back and tell your prince that the marquis will surely interrogate the truth." Mu Fengqie said.
The guard who sent the person here looked at Mu Fengqie gratefully. The marquis's wife was really kind. She was nothing like the marquis, who would take action at the slightest disagreement. It was really scary.
"Qie'er, why did you let the person stay?" Jing Xunce looked at Mu Fengqie discontentedly. Of course, he wasn't discontented with Mu Fengqie, but with these people and Yuan Yuhan's actions.
"I must find out the truth about this matter. No matter who interrogates, I want to know the answer. So it doesn't matter who does the interrogation. Moreover, A Ru has just given birth. She really needs someone to accompany her. Otherwise, she's very likely to suffer from postpartum depression."
Mu Fengqie said seriously, "So, it's best for you to handle this matter."
Jing Xunce clearly didn't want to take over this task, but for Qie'er's sake, he'd reluctantly interrogate the person.
Just because Mu Fengqie would also come this time, Jing Xunce chose the main hall as the interrogation place. If they went to the dungeon, Qie'er would surely vomit again.
"Tell me. Who sent you?" Jing Xunce held Mu Fengqie in his arms and let her sit on his lap in a protective posture.
Mu Fengqie was startled by Jing Xunce's action. This... It was improper to hug in public. She was so shy... Mu Fengqie wriggled her body, trying to get off Jing Xunce, but was tightly held around the waist by Jing Xunce.
