Chapter 270 - Birth of Twins!

“I’m going to deliver!”

Shen Ninghua’s words were like a thunderbolt that shocked Baili Junyi’s soul out of his body. “You’re going to deliver? Isn’t there still half a month?” As he spoke, he did not hesitate. He directly went forward to pick up Shen Ninghua and quickly walked out.

At the door, there were a few officials who did not have time to make way for them. Baili Junyi directly kicked one of them away. “Move!”

The official who was kicked had a livid expression. He turned his head to argue. Only then did he see clearly that the one who kicked him was the pale-faced Baili Junyi. In his arms was Shen Ninghua who was covered in cold sweat. The rest of the people hurriedly made way for him.

If something happened to Princess Zhaohua and the baby in her belly because of them, even their lives were not enough as compensation, let alone being kicked.

Baili Junyi held Shen Ninghua in his arms. Seeing her gritting her teeth in pain, his face became paler and paler. “Ninghua, don’t be afraid. We will go back immediately.”

After a burst of pain ended, Shen Ninghua finally responded, “Don’t worry, the baby really loves me. He knows to come out at this time.”

“If he really loves you, why does he let you be in such pain?” Chu Junyi’s tone was unconsciously full of reproach and sternness.

“Haha…” Shen Ninghua smiled. “Something happened in the Empress’ palace, but I give birth to a baby safely. Tell me, when the time comes, who dares to say that I am detrimental to my parents and children? Don’t you think the baby is helping me?”

Shen Ninghua knew medical skills. She had also thought that if she used medicine to hasten the baby’s birth, she should be able to completely change her previous reputation. But for the sake of the baby’s health, she did not take the risk in the end. She did not expect that the baby would voluntarily want to come out.

The pain was so intense that Shen Ninghua felt like someone was stirring her belly with a steel knife. She took a deep breath and tried to relax.

The sweat on Baili Junyi’s forehead dripped down the tip of his nose and his chin and landed on her face. Shen Ninghua opened her eyes and found that his whole body seemed to have been soaked in water. His face was extremely pale. “Junyi, don’t worry. The baby will be fine. He is more than nine months old. It won’t affect him if he comes out a few days earlier.”

Baili Junyi shook his head. “Ninghua, I am not worried about the baby. I am worried about you!” He knew that it was not easy for women to deliver, but he did not know that it would be so painful. If something happened to Ninghua, what was the point even if he had a child?

Shen Ninghua smiled. “I know. I will be fine. Don’t worry.” Just as she finished speaking, a sharp pain came from her belly, causing her to be immediately unable to speak.

In Prefectural Prince Yi’s Mansion, when Bai Ruo and the others saw Baili Junyi carrying Shen Ninghua in, they were equally shocked.

“Go invite Doctor Chen, call the imperial doctors and the midwives. The princess is about to deliver!”

After Shen Ninghua was pregnant, the mansion immediately found several midwives and carefully investigated their backgrounds. Only after ensuring that there was nothing wrong did they let the midwives live in the mansion. The delivery room had also been prepared long before. They even prepared many sets of baby clothes, both for boys and girls.

Baili Junyi sent Shen Ninghua to the delivery room and immediately sat on the foot of the bed, holding her hand tightly. “Ninghua, relax. Don’t be afraid. I have already sent someone to invite the imperial doctors. You will be fine. You will definitely be fine.”

Shen Ninghua endured the pain and nodded. This was her first child. Logically speaking, she should not give birth so quickly. However, according to the level of her pain, it was as if the child was about to come out. “I’m fine. You can go out. The delivery room is not good for you…Ah…”

Shen Ninghua’s cry was like a knife cutting into Baili Junyi’s heart. He held Shen Ninghua’s hand and kept tightening and relaxing. “It’s fine. I’m not afraid of seeing blood. I am staying here to deter the bad boy. How dare he be so naughty and make his mother feel such pain.”

If it wasn’t for the serious atmosphere, Shen Ninghua would definitely laugh out loud. You were going to deter him? You were obviously the one to be deterred!

“Help me change my clothes, then let Bai Ruo and the others prepare hot water, scissors, cloth towel, ginseng slices…”

Baili Junyi quickly got up and helped Shen Ninghua change her clothes. When he got up, he stumbled and realized that his legs were so weak that he almost couldn’t stand up. However, he didn’t have time to think about it. After he helped her change her clothes, the midwives had already come in. The maids also came in with hot water and other stuff.

The room was full of people, which immediately made Shen Ninghua a little annoyed. Before she asked Baili Junyi to go out, a midwife cried, “Princess, use more strength. The amniotic fluid is outflowing and the cervix is open.”

Shen Ninghua was shocked. In less than an hour, the cervix had already opened. She held Baili Junyi’s hand and suddenly exerted force with her belly.

“Ah! ”

Shen Ninghua felt a sharp pain in her belly, and then something quickly slipped out of her body. She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and went soft on the bed.

“Born! It was born!”

Baili Junyi’s heart was beating wildly. Looking at the blood flowing out of Shen Ninghua’s body, he felt his vision darkened.

The midwives had never seen such a quick delivery. They had just come in and hadn’t done anything yet. All they needed to do was to wash the baby’s body clean and wait to receive the reward. They had never seen such a good thing before.

Baili Junyi helped Shen Ninghua wipe her sweat. His tone was filled with surprise and disbelief. “Ninghua, our baby.”

Shen Ninghua nodded. She felt her belly aching so much that she couldn’t help but frown.

A midwife carefully picked up the little boy. She turned his body over and carefully patted his butt. Then there was the sound of crying. Before the midwives could be happy, they felt a murderous and sharp gaze fall on them. They immediately froze in place.

Baili Junyi looked at the midwife with killing intent in his eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was sure that the midwife had no ill intentions, he would have just slapped her away.

“Re… Reporting to Your Highness, it is a boy.” The midwife had originally wanted to congratulate Baili Junyi, but she was shocked by the look in Baili Junyi’s eyes and could only say this dryly.

Baili Junyi stretched out his hand and carefully received the baby. Looking at the wrinkled, little red face, he felt as if his entire heart was soaking in a hot spring, warm and soft. “Ninghua, take a look. This is our baby.”

Shen Ninghua moved slightly, and another burst of pain came from her belly. “Ah!”

Baili Junyi was so shocked that he almost threw the baby in his hand away. “Ninghua, what’s wrong? Imperial doctor, quickly call the imperial doctor!”

The midwives were also scared. If something happened to Princess Zhaohua, their entire families would be in trouble.

“Miss!”

“Princess…how are you…”

Immediately, cries of surprise filled the air.

Shen Ninghua suddenly grabbed the sheets under her body. “I still have one baby in my belly!”

What?

Since she had given birth to one baby, it was easier for the second one to be born. After a moment of confusion, a midwife carefully wrapped up a slightly thinner baby. “Congratulations, Your Highnesses. It is a little girl.”

The two children really cared about their mother. Except for the necessary pain, Shen Ninghua did not suffer much. At this time, she felt good despite being a little exhausted.

Baili Junyi carefully hugged the two children, and his eyes trembled with excitement. “Ninghua, look, our children, a boy and a girl, an auspicious pair of twins!”

Shen Ninghua curled her lips and tilted her head to look at the two children. She felt that the pain she had suffered and the effort she had put in were all worth it.

“Junyi, I heard our daughter crying very weakly. Let Doctor Chen take a look at her pulse.” Although she also knew medical skills, she wasn’t confident when it was her child’s pulse. It was better to let Doctor Chen take a look.

Baili Junyi immediately restored his senses. “Yes, Bai Ruo, invite Doctor Chen in to check your Miss first and then the babies.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Shen Ninghua’s delivery was too smooth. After about a quarter of an hour, Chen Yun rushed over with the medicine box.

Seeing the two children carefully held in the hands of the midwives, even Chen Yun was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly became happy. With the auspicious twins, no one dared to talk about Shen Ninghua’s fate! Otherwise, the Emperor would be the first to silence them! How many years had it been? An auspicious pair of twins finally descended in the royal family!

“The two children are very healthy. The younger sister is a little thin, but there won’t be any problem if she is nursed well.” Chen Yun smiled and said, “The princess is also in good health. She will be able to recover her vitality very quickly with a good rest in the first month after the childbirth.”

“Thank you, Uncle Chen.” Baili Junyi said.

“I am overwhelmed. Your Highness, you are too polite.” In the past, Baili Junyi’s identity had not been restored. There was no harm in his calling him Uncle Chen. Now that he was already a prince, this address was not appropriate for him.

Baili Junyi shook his head. “Uncle Chen, you deserve this.”

Chen Yun felt warm in his heart and a smile appeared on his usually serious face. “Have you reported the good news to the Palace?”

Baili Junyi was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. “I was so happy that I forgot.”

“Then hurry up and send someone to report the good news.”

Baili Junyi turned to look at Shen Ninghua. “Ninghua, have a good rest. I need to make a trip to the Palace.”

After planning for such a long time, it was finally time for a counterattack. He could not waste the chance.

Shen Ninghua nodded. “Alright, hurry up and go.”

The Palace had already been in a mess.

The effect was better than expected. Half of Ningkun Palace had been burned away, revealing wooden beams in the air. Rubble and stones were everywhere.

Zhao Huiying sat on a chair at the side. The wound on her arm that had been bandaged continued to bleed. She was like a fool. Her face was pale and she was silent.

This was the scene that Baili Qingcang and Bu Yunqing saw when they arrived at the spot.

Seeing Baili Qingcang, Meixue immediately rushed over. “Your Majesty, a thunder just fell from the sky and destroyed half of the palace. Her Majesty’s arm was also injured.”

Seeing Zhao Huiying’s appearance, Baili Qingcang was also incomparably shocked in his heart. “What exactly is going on?”

Meixue’s face was full of tears. “I don’t know. Her Majesty was going to rest in the palace hall when I heard a loud bang and the palace collapsed. Not long before, something happened to Zhichun Palace. Now, this happened to Ningkun Palace again…”
