Chapter 321 The Fruit Was Mature in the Early Spring
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The spring of the Nanyue Dynasty came very early this year. The scenery was magnificent when virgin snow melted.
Lots of animals hibernating in the peach blossom mountain had already caved out successively.
Recently, the dangerous land that had been quiet for a long time turned to be the hustle and bustle. The stream was babbling in the distance. Some animals began to come out to forage.
But most of the animals tacitly kept away from the courtyard where Bai Aoxue lived.
Having been looked after by Mumian and others, Bai Aoxue looked much fatter than several months ago when Jun Yeyan left.
The face that was originally thin and chilly was also plump now.
The protruded abdomen was like a mature fruit that was about to fall. Bai Aoxue needed someone to help her even when walking. The subordinates, including Mumian, were sure that Bai Aoxue would give birth to twins.
But Bai Aoxue did not think so. She felt that there was only one child.
But Bai Aoxue didn’t say much lest they would feel disappointed. She only hoped that the child could be born healthy.
During several months of rest, she thought about a lot, including the things that happened in the previous life. No matter why her father and mother of the previous life abandoned her, she was now relieved.
Now she was about to change from a young girl to a mother. She adjusted to the change quickly. In the meantime, she was looking forward to the arrival of her child.
She would be a qualified mother to protect her child from experiencing what she had gone through.
The sunlight in the early spring was not too warm. After Bai Aoxue basked in the sunshine for a while, the subordinates came forward to take her inside.
As the virgin snow began melting, it remained slightly cold outside. Since Bai Aoxue was about to deliver a baby, they had to be very careful now.
During this time, their eyes rarely looked away from Bai Aoxue.
Even Jianjia, who liked to play in the jungle, quietly accompanied Bai Aoxue at this moment.
Two months before, Li Xiao had already come out of the peach blossom mountain and taken in the midwives sent by Jun Yeyan.
They had already sent a letter to Jun Yeyan, but it was hard to say whether he could come back in time when the Mistress was delivering. Since Qi Liange had to fight at the last stand, the battle between them was intense and urgent now.
They all knew that the Mistress hoped the Master could come here in time, even if she said nothing.
Although they knew little about women’s thoughts, anyone would hope to be accompanied by her husband at such a critical moment.
A few months ago, the battle of Mountain Qing made the Master widely known all over the world. People took delight in talking about the battle that defeated enemy troops with force inferior in number. Before they were informed of the news, the Master and his troops had already traveled south.
Although they couldn’t follow the Master to conquer the world, they felt heartfelt happiness because the realm of the peach blossom mountain was the one cherished by the Master.
He won the whole world, but his own world was guarded by them.
In comparison, his world was the most important one.
And here, they often heard the Mistress humming some tunes they never heard before. Such days made them feel pleasant enough.
“Miss, has the baby moved yet today?” Hongxiu carefully helped Bai Aoxue into the house, asking softly.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “These days, he has moved more frequently. Probably, he wants to come out and see this new world. I can feel his eagerness.”
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Hongxiu, and other subordinates looked at each other. They were clear that Bai Aoxue would deliver the baby these days, but whether his Majesty could come back was unknown.
“Miss, I believe his Majesty is already on his way back. I hope his Majesty can come back in time,” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue and said softly.
Hearing Mumian’s words, Bai Aoxue naturally knew what they thought about, gently saying, “Never mind. Now that the war is more important, he can’t be distracted at this time. Besides, our child will understand.”
Hearing Bai Aoxue saying that, Hongxiu echoed, “Yes, the little princess will forgive his Majesty.”
“Nonsense! It’s a little prince!” Mumian disapproved of Hongxiu’s words, and the two started to argue again.
The two had already bet on it at the very beginning, but the stake was larger this time. The loser would follow the winner all her life, whether they got married or delivered a baby.
Bai Aoxue just smilingly watched the bet.
And as they thought, the child’s father was already on his way back.
Ying Er and Nalan Youhong accompanied Jun Yeyan. Jun Yeyan had ordered many baby clothes at Yuehua Village, an imperial villa in Yangzhou that made clothes for the royal family. When Jun Yeyan passed Yangzhou, he ordered many sets of clothes there.
The number of purchases shocked Nalan Youhong.
Because they were in a hurry, there was no carriage with them on the way. Nalan Youhong and Ying Er carried a large bag of clothes respectively, and even Jun Yeyan himself carried a large bag.
How could people believe that the person was the monarch who made the whole world frightened?
“Master, it will take another four or five days to get to the peach blossom mountain,” Ying Er looked at the rushing river and said in a deep voice.
There was also a bit of joy in the words.
Looking at the billowing river, Jun Yeyan was more hurried to return to Bai Aoxue. Now, he understood the feeling of being anxious to go home.
He wanted to accompany her to go through the difficulty, to experience the unforgettable grind, to grow up together, and look forward to the birth of the child.
He wanted to hug the child. He wanted to look at his cute look when he opened his eyes and began to babble.
He wanted to give her the most comfortable and warmest embrace this time.
All this made him determined that he must not be one moment late.
Running nonstop along the way, his glorious dark coat was covered with much frost and dust.
Although Jun Yeyan had a neat freak, he couldn’t care about it now.
Maybe at this moment, there was nothing more important than returning to Bai Aoxue.
Today there was no vast clear sky. Instead, dense clouds covered the sky.
Bai Aoxue wanted to come out to bask in the sun, but when she saw the weather, the thought was dismissed.
She felt severe pains in the past two days. The midwife told her to walk often, but she felt that her stomach seemed to be falling, which was particularly uncomfortable and even more so today.
Watching Bai Aoxue walk around the house, Mumian said softly, “Miss, take a break.”
Bai Aoxue’s cheeks were pale at the moment. She intuitively felt that she was just about to give birth.
After a while, there was a clap of thunder ringing in the sky. But the situation didn’t improve.
The midwives who had seen similar situations knew that perhaps Bai Aoxue would give birth in this evening or afternoon.
Everyone was extremely nervous at the moment.
Seeing that Bai Aoxue was so uncomfortable, they also felt very distressed.
“Why hasn’t his Majesty been back yet? Miss needs him now!” Mumian was so anxious that her eyes turned red and tearful.
“Wait a moment. Maybe his Majesty has already been back on his way. I believe he will arrive soon,” Wenxi said to calm her.
Despite all the torture during the day, Bai Aoxue didn’t groan at all. At night, the heavy rain finally fell.
When everyone thought that Bai Aoxue would give birth in the middle of the night, Bai Aoxue’s face changed suddenly.
“Come in! Come in! I’m afraid that Miss is about to give birth!” Mumian and Hongxiu helped Bai Aoxue go to bed, calling in the people who had just shifted the guard to dine.
Hearing that, Zi Yuanyue and others who were ready to have a meal quickly dropped their bowls and chopsticks and ran into the inner room.
“Go and bring in hot water!” Seeing the situation, several midwives said calmly.
As soon they heard what the midwives said, they knew that Bai Aoxue was about to give birth. Seemingly, all of their reasons were lost.
Li Xiao and Ying San retreated spontaneously, guarding the door to prevent accidents happening at any time.
The two looked at each other anxiously. They received a letter from Shadows two days ago, knowing that the Master was already on his way back, but they didn’t know precisely when he would arrive. Since now there was no message, they were afraid that it would take several days longer.
The voice of the midwives spread from the room.
“Your Majesty! Come on!”
There were only a few midwives and Zi Yuanyue left inside in case the emergency happened, and Zi Yuanyue, the doctor, could deal with it timely.
Now, Mumian and Hongxiu had long forgotten the gamble. They held their hands and prayed devoutly, their eyes being red and tearful.
They could do nothing but stand outside the door, praying, waiting, hoping that Bai Aoxue and the baby would be safe.
Li Xiao turned his head to look at the room and then turned to look at the dark and deep path.
Under the cold moonlight, a slender figure wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat walked towards them vigorously. The dust was swirling in the air with his steps.
The rain wet his body, but he didn’t look embarrassed. He remained honorable, like the god descending from the moon.
“Master? Master!” Li Xiao looked at the figure in disbelief and said with his lips slightly convulsed.
Hearing that, everyone looked up and saw the man strode towards here. His handsome face was a little somber and there were some scratches on his face. The black jade mask had long disappeared. A little blood was spilling from the scratches, and seemingly, it was the branches that cut his face when he hurriedly back here.
“Where is Xue?” The deep and magnetic voice sounded still enchanting, but it had been calmer after these days.
“Mistress is giving birth inside,” Li Xiao hurriedly said.
Hearing Li Xiao’s words, Jun Yeyan did not hesitate. He strode two steps forward and was ready to push the door open.
But he was stopped by Mumian and several maids.
“Your Majesty, you can’t get in now.”
Seeing that, Jun Yeyan frowned slightly. Before he said something, a hoarse cry of Bai Aoxue spread from inside.
“Your Majesty, come on! Be sure to use your force!” The midwife shouted.
