Chapter 85: The Third Child is Borni

Translator: 549690339

North Prince Mansion.

North courtyard, Zhou Youyou’s room.

The midwives and maids bustled in and out, busily using hot water to wipe down Zhou Youyou’s body, trying every means to help her stop bleeding.

Clearly, Zhou Youyou’s condition was not as simple as just her water breaking.

If they couldn’t stop the bleeding, whether she could survive was a question.

Such a death, taking both the mother and child, was all too common in these times.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive. Zhou Youyou was in such pain that she was alternating between life and death, and her consciousness was gradually blurring.

Just then, a maid suddenly said, “The Prince is here, the Prince is here!”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly made way for Lu Chen. Some of the maids in the Prince’s Mansion knew that Lu Chen could perform Immortal Techniques.

To the midwives and maids, as long as the North Prince arrived in time, there would definitely be no problem in saving the adult.

Hearing the maids saying the Prince had come, Zhou Youyou’s previously blurred consciousness cleared up a bit.

Lu Chen quickly came to Zhou Youyou’s bedside, took her hand, and immediately began to use the Rejuvenating Skill to heal her.

Zhou Youyou’s face was covered in sweat, her complexion wan and devoid of any color, like that of a corpse.

With little strength, Zhou Youyou said, “My Prince, Youyou might not make it. You must ensure the child survives.”

“In the future…”

She stopped suddenly and didn’t continue.

That was because she felt her body instantly lighten, and the pain seemed to disappear. Zhou Youyou was momentarily stunned.

Seeing the green glow emanating from Lu Chen’s hands, Zhou Youyou instantly understood – he must be using an Immortal Technique to heal her.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked into Zhou Youyou’s eyes and asked with a smile, “What about the future?”

Zhou Youyou smiled faintly and then said, “In the future, Youyou still wants to have more children for the Prince.”

No sooner had Zhou Youyou’s words fallen than the midwife said, “The bleeding has stopped! Get ready for the delivery!”

Zhou Youyou’s child was not due to be born for a while yet, but there was no choice. The water had broken, and under these circumstances, the child had to be born prematurely.

This instantly resolved a problem that had been troubling Lu Chen.

Lu Chen had been worried that Zhou Youyou’s belly was already so big, she couldn’t withstand the rigors of travel, and without him by their side as they headed south, if something were to happen, both she and the child inside her could be in danger.

Now, with the child coming early, he could use the Rejuvenating Skill to heal Zhou Youyou in advance, allowing her to recover faster, and thus, no longer fearing trouble for Youyou on the road.

At this time, a maid rushed into the room.

Seeing Lu Chen healing Zhou Youyou, the maid did not directly disturb him but instead quietly approached Chu Yuqin and whispered into her ear, “Madam Chu, the guests from the east courtyard say they can treat Madam Xiaozhou. Should you need anything, you may seek their help.”

Chu Yuqin whispered back, “Yes, I understand.”

With this, Chu Yuqin glanced over at Lu Chen and Zhou Youyou, who was already getting better on the bed.

She thought to herself that there was probably no need to ask for help from the Mysterious Moon Palace Master anymore.

After all, Lu Chen was someone who could perform Immortal Techniques. No matter how powerful the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace was, she couldn’t be better at healing than someone who practiced Immortal Techniques.

After a while, the room filled with the wailing cries of a newborn child.

[Congratulations, Host, on gaining a son. Reward: fifty thousand Black Cavalry, two Master Level Generals, and an additional population of five hundred thousand.]

The midwife, excited, said to Lu Chen, “Congratulations, Prince, it’s a boy!”

Having said that, the midwife brought the child over to Lu Chen.

Being premature, the baby’s condition was very unstable.

In this era, without the medical care of modern times, the mortality rate for premature infants was extremely high.

The midwife knew that Lu Chen possessed Immortal Technique and specifically brought the child over for Lu Chen to heal.

Lu Chen said to the midwife, “Put the baby on the bed.”

“Yes, Prince,” responded the midwife, bending down to place the wailing infant by Zhou Youyou’s side.

Thanks to the healing of the Rejuvenating Skill, Zhou Youyou was now completely fine. She turned her head to look at her own child, her once tender face now radiating a mother’s glow.

Lu Chen then lifted his other hand and placed it on the infant, healing the baby as well.

Gradually, the baby stopped crying and simply waved his little hands and feet in the air.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin’s gaze fell upon Lu Chen’s face.

Seeing Lu Chen’s complexion a bit pale, Chu Yuqin’s smile instantly vanished. She immediately came to Lu Chen’s side, asking with concern, “Chen’er, are you alright?”

The healing of the Rejuvenating Skill consumed Spiritual Power, and the Spiritual Energy in this world was very weak. Lu Chen had consumed a great deal of Spiritual Power while saving Zhou Youyou. Without immediate replenishment, his body’s reserve of Spiritual Power was exhausted, leaving him extremely fatigued.

Lu Chen felt this as well. He always felt particularly exhausted whenever he healed others.

The main issue was that his Realm wasn’t high enough, with too little Spiritual Power stored within his body. Only upon reaching the Master Realm would his path of cultivation truly begin.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s concerned voice, Lu Chen said softly, “I’m fine.”

Zhou Youyou also noticed that Lu Chen didn’t look well. Guessing that it was because he had been healing her, causing his face to look so pale, she quickly said, “Prince, your concubine is fine now. You don’t need to use Immortal Technique to heal me anymore.”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, 1 know my limits.”

Zhou Youyou showed a hint of worry on her face but didn’t say anything more.

After a while, Lu Chen sensed that Zhou Youyou’s body had largely recovered to its pre-pregnancy state, so he stopped transferring Spiritual Power to her.

The moment he finished healing, Lu Chen’s body swayed, looking as if he might collapse. Chu Yuqin quickly supported him from behind.

“Chen’er, how do you feel?”

Lu Chen’s nape instantly felt warmth and softness, and a subtle fragrance slipped into his nostrils.

At this time, all the women in the room came to Lu Chen’s side, looking at him with concern.

After leaning on Chu Yuqin for a while, Lu Chen said, “I just need to rest a bit, don’t worry about me.”

Seeing Lu Chen reassure them himself, Mu Zixuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, Chu Yuqin held Lu Chen’s head, brushing the hair from his cheek, and said, “Chen’er, shall we name the child?”

Lu Chen glanced at the infant on the bed, thought for a moment, and then said, “Let’s call him Lu Changsheng.”

As the baby was premature, and even with his own healing, his constitution was innately not as good as his previous two children’s.

Lu Chen no longer had any expectations for him to achieve great feats. He only hoped he could simply live a good life..
