Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1679 - 1617: Premature Labor

Madam Zhou still could not endure the outcome of premature childbirth and was sent into the delivery room.

Purple Jade had to leave Hua Wushuang behind and said, "Master of Unparalleled Tower, you see, I’m really busy here, my lady is rushing home, why not invite the Master to come over in a few days?"

"Is your madam in danger due to early childbirth? If there’s anything you need help with, just speak up," Hua Wushuang said.

Purple Jade was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you, Master of Unparalleled Tower, but there’s no need for now, Master, I bid farewell, someone will escort you out of the residence later."

Hua Wushuang nodded, "No rush, I can sit for a while, it’s not too late to leave after your madam safely delivers her child."

Purple Jade couldn’t afford to worry about much, so she sent someone over to attend to him and secretly ordered a Hidden Guard to keep an eye on their movements, hurriedly heading towards Madam Zhou.

"Master, there are people outside watching," Ah Zheng whispered in Hua Wushuang’s ear.

Hua Wushuang curled his lips slightly and said, "No problem, after all, coming uninvited, it’s inevitable to be wary, it’s somewhat better this way."

If he believed him easily with just a few words, that would make people doubt the host’s capability in this household!

Ah Zheng listened and said no more, just stood silently by his side, before long, a little maid came to attend to him.

When Purple Jade arrived at Madam Zhou’s courtyard, she saw everything was quiet and there was no chaos, her heart slightly relaxed.

"Nanny Cheng." Seeing Nanny Cheng, Purple Jade felt slightly relieved, having an elder in the home always gives a peace of mind.

Nanny Cheng said softly, "Madam has already entered the delivery room, Nanny Shen also went in, the people in the courtyard are under my control, rest assured."

Purple Jade nodded and asked, "Why did it suddenly say she’s going to give birth?"

"While going to the cleansing room, there was another red discharge, the stomach pain became urgent, the doctor and two midwives all said she’s about to give birth." Nanny Cheng said in a low voice.

Purple Jade’s face also darkened slightly, glancing at the delivery room, it was quiet, making her somewhat anxious, she subconsciously grabbed Nanny Cheng’s hand, "Nanny, will everything be alright?"

"Hopefully."

"I’ll go check on Madam." Purple Jade let go of her hand and went towards the delivery room, while Nanny Cheng sighed and walked away, there were still many things to attend to.

The delivery room was set in the western suite of the master room, Madam Zhou’s head wrapped in a headscarf embroidered with hundreds of children and grandchildren motifs, her face pale, leaning against the welcoming pillow, her expression somewhat listless and fearful.

"Madam." Purple Jade stepped forward and kneeled down with a blessing: "Are you feeling better? Rest assured, this maid has asked someone to go to the temple to burn incense and inform the Bodhisattva, Madam will give birth safely!"

Madam Zhou’s lips were somewhat pale, she pulled at the corners of her mouth: "You are considerate."

"It’s what this maid should do."

She had just finished speaking when Madam Zhou let out a soft groan, clutching her stomach in pain, soon beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Qiu Xiang took a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, her face slightly pale.

"How long until she gives birth?" Purple Jade asked the two midwives.

To say who the two midwives feared most in this mansion, it’s definitely Purple Jade, don’t underestimate this little maid’s age, but the authority she exudes is there to intimidate people.

Now hearing Purple Jade’s question, they quickly smiled and said, "Miss, this is hard to say, childbirth for a woman, it’s hard to predict the Shichen, some have it smoothly, and truly give birth like using an outhouse. Some are more delicate, and giving birth takes days and nights as well."

"Right, right, wasn’t the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Lin’s mansion the same, took three days and four nights to give birth, and he was a big fat boy, very heavy-handed!"

Three days and four nights, this made Purple Jade’s face dramatically change, even Madam Zhou was shocked.
