Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 249 Premature Birth
"Aunt Lan, do you know Nanjing, the fifth prince of Nanli Kingdom?"

Lan Jingchu took a moment to tidy up the ledger, and then quickly put the ledger into the box.

"When my husband was not dead, we lived in Nanli for a while. I heard something about the fifth prince. I heard that the mother concubine of the fifth prince was a sinful concubine. The fifth prince was executed as soon as he was born. It stands to reason that the fifth prince should be the least popular. But the emperor dotes on him abnormally, which also makes the fifth prince's status in Nanli a bit embarrassing. Many ministers and concubines in the palace don't like him. There's going to be some trouble with him."

After listening to Lan Jingchu's words, Shen Wanyu's eyes narrowed slightly.This fifth prince seems to be a very special existence, does Emperor Nanli really dote on him?
"I know Aunt Lan, you don't have to worry about me."

Shen Wanyu raised her head and looked at Lan Jingchu with a smile, and she glanced outside again.

"I've been out for a while, it's time to go home."

She stood up from the chair, and Lan Jingchu didn't do much to keep her.He personally sent her downstairs and watched her leave.

Shen Wanyu went directly to Yun Manrou's yard after returning from Yu Jifang, and now her mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger.She looked at the belly that seemed to be falling off, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it is really hard for a woman to conceive a child.

"Mother, how do you feel today? Are your legs still cramping?"

Pregnant people tend to have cramps in the back of their legs, although Yun Manrou has the medicine that Shen Wanyu gave her to warm and nourish her body.But she still didn't escape the leg cramps.

"I still get cramps, but I don't work as hard as before. I can sleep soundly at night. Although this pregnancy is a bit of a toss for me. But it seems like a naughty kid."

Yun Manrou's face is full of tenderness, which is the tenderness of a mother.She stroked her huge belly, an unprecedented satisfaction filled her heart.

Shen Wanyu covered her lips and smiled, then reached out to touch her mother's belly.

"Mother's belly is so big, could it be twins inside?"

Yun Manrou looked down, her birth was much older than when Huai Wanyu was pregnant.

"I don't know either, but it's much bigger than when I was pregnant with you. Wait a few more months and I'll find out."

Shen Wanyu nodded and took her hand back.She helped Yun Manrou take a walk in the yard, talking as she walked.

"Mother, it looks like you are going to be eight months now, don't forget to take the elixir I gave you."

Yun Manrou nodded, looked at the flowers all over the yard and smiled slightly: "Yu'er, what kind of elixir is that?"

"That's what I read in a medical book given by the master. It is good for you and the baby in your stomach. But you can't take it too early, it must be taken after eight months."

Shen Wanyu lied casually, she can't tell everyone about the Xisui Pill yet.Know that the fewer people, the better, so as not to cause any trouble when the time comes.

Yun Manrou was relieved of her worry all along, if she saw it from the ghost doctor, there shouldn't be any problem.

"By the way, Prince Han is coming back soon?"

Hearing her own mother mentioned evildoers, the corners of Shen Wanyu's mouth lifted into a gentle smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the border issue to be resolved so smoothly. He originally thought it would take two years to resolve it, but now it hasn't even been a year."

"Hehe, Prince Han is an excellent man. If you marry him, it will be a good home for you."

Yun Manrou looked at her daughter's blushing cheeks, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.I have to say that this Prince Han is a good home. He has never had a bad comment for so many years, and he has never had any rumors with any young ladies.Clean and self-respecting, even a little unfeminine.

Shen Wanyu's face flushed slightly, she helped her mother walk around the yard for a few times, then found an excuse to leave.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Mohan was supposed to have come back.Because there are still some things to deal with at the border, we can only delay the return time later.

Yun Manrou also reached eight months and took the elixir given to her by Shen Wanyu.It is obvious that my body is much lighter than before, and even the leg cramps are gone.

"Lady, take it easy. You're going to give birth in two months, so don't worry about it."

Shen Wenyan looked at his wife who was striding like flying, his face changed slightly, and he quickly followed her up.Reaching out to hold her arm, he exclaimed.

Yun Manrou gave Shen Wenyan a supercilious look, how could she not know about her own body.The current body is very good, not to mention walking quickly.

"Don't make a fuss, I know my own body. And didn't my daughter say that it's better for pregnant women to walk more?"

Shen Wenyan naturally heard from Shen Wanyu, but he saw the woman with such a big belly walking so fast.He couldn't help being frightened, afraid that something might happen.

"Then you have to be careful, you know?"

When Shen Wanyu came back from the outside, she saw this chasing scene.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. To be honest, this scene was a bit shocking no matter how you looked at it.

"Father, mother, are you playing a game of chasing and hiding?"

Hearing his daughter's crisp and pleasant voice, Shen Wenyan felt as if he heard the sounds of nature.He hurriedly turned his head to look at Shen Wanyu, and said anxiously.

"Yu'er, hurry up and persuade your mother to stop. She is running around the yard with such a big belly, what if something happens to her?"

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, watching her mother dodge her father with swift strides.Sighing slightly, he walked over.

"Mother, I know that you are in good health now. But after all, you are already eight months old. You can exercise properly but don't overdo it. It's not good for the fetus."

When Yun Manrou heard Shen Wanyu's words, she immediately stopped her steps.Turning around to look at her daughter sitting at the stone table in the yard, she blinked her beautiful eyes.

"That's it, then I'll take a break."

Nanny Jin quickly placed a thick cushion on the stone bench, and then let Yun Manrou sit on it.

Shen Wenyan looked at his wife speechlessly, did he also say it was bad for the fetus just now?Why was his wife ignoring him when he said it, and she became obedient as soon as his daughter said it.

"Yu'er's words are more useful."

There was a trace of resentment in the deep voice, and the seductive peach blossom eyes glanced at Shen Wanyu resentfully.

Shen Wanyu shuddered, she couldn't stand her father's resentful little eyes.

"Mother, daddy is doing it for your health. Well, I still have some things to do, so I'll go back first. You should pay more attention to yourself."

Shen Wanyu stood up, and without giving them a chance to speak, she took Qiuzhu and quickly slipped away.

Back in Yuyuan, Shen Wanyu saw two round balls, one red and one white, running towards her.The corner of her mouth twitched, these two came again!Lifting her chin slightly, Shen Wanyu decided to ignore these two fights for favor which were staged several times a day.

He strode towards his own room, completely freezing his body in place.The cute creatures with eyes full of grievances let them fend for themselves.

Back in the room, Shen Wanyu took out the black jar that had never been opened again.Pulling out the glove made by Qiuzhu a while ago, she put it on her hand, and carefully opened the cover.

When she saw the small white insects inside, she was slightly taken aback.Originally there were at least several hundred bugs in this jar, but now there is only this one left.

Shen Wanyu carefully observed the bugs in the jar, they were at least hundreds of times bigger than before.The whole body is white and shiny, and there seems to be a layer of water-like film on the epidermis.Under the sunlight, it shone with a pale white luster.If it lay there motionless, it would be like a fine piece of white jade.

"You little bug is really pretty."

As if hearing Shen Wanyu's words, the little white bug actually moved.

Shen Wanyu took off her gloves and took out a sharp dagger.Gently scratched the belly of the finger, and instantly bright red blood flowed out from the wound.It only takes a while for drops to fall into the black jar.The white worm was soaked in blood, and the whole body was blood red like a piece of fine blood jade.

After bandaging her fingers, Shen Wanyu looked at the black jar in surprise.The bright red blood was quickly absorbed by the little bug, and it took only a while for her blood to be sucked up by the little bug.

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched. Fortunately, it was written in the book that she needed to be fed with her own blood in the early stage.As long as the mother Gu is fed, the Gu worms produced by her don't need to be fed with her own blood.

If she keeps feeding with her blood, one day she will dry up and die.Cover the lid of the black jar, and put it back in that remote place.

Shen Wanyu stood up, walked to the bed, picked up a book about Gu art and read it.

In a daze, Shen Wanyu yawned and put down the book in her hand.Lie down on the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Wanyu was woken up by a loud noise, she frowned displeased.Reluctantly, he opened his eyes, just in time to see the pale-faced Qiuzhu walking in.

"Qiuzhu, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Qiuzhu's face was pale, and her lips were slightly pursed.With cold sweat in her hands, she really didn't know how to tell the young lady.

"Say, is something wrong?"

Seeing Qiuzhu's face was pale, he seemed hesitant to speak again.She froze for a moment, and her eyes became sharp.Sitting up suddenly, he asked in a cold voice.

Qiu Zhu bit her lip, even if she wanted to hide this matter, she couldn't hide it.

"Miss, ma'am, she... She suddenly gave birth prematurely."

Hearing Qiuzhu's words, Shen Wanyu's head buzzed instantly.She was blown blank by this news, when she came back from her mother's yard this morning.She was still running briskly in the yard, how could she suddenly give birth prematurely.It's definitely not that simple here.
