Chapter 808 Hiding

Chapter 808: Hiding Chapter 808: Hiding Editor: Atlas Studios Although Mu Yangling had given birth to Little Bear prematurely, the delivery was very quick and smooth.

This being her second pregnancy, she’d thought that it would be way easier.

Unexpectedly, after half a night, the baby was still yet to be born, but her strength was rapidly depleting.

The midwife was also sweating profusely.

She shouted anxiously, “Your Highness, you have to exert more strength.

You’re running out of amniotic fluid, and your cervix has only widened to about 3 cm…” Mu Yangling shook her head in pain and panted as she asked, “Why isn’t there any movement in my stomach?” The midwives looked at each other and felt for the fetal positions again.

They comforted her.

“Your Highness, since you’re giving birth to twins, a harder delivery is understandable.

Try harder and exert strength in the direction we told you.” Mu Yangling looked up at them and nodded slightly.

She said to Spring, “Go get a bowl of ginseng soup for me.” Spring hurriedly ran out to bring it in and carefully fed it to her.

After drinking that, Mu Yangling felt that she had regained a bit of her strength, so she took a piece of cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.

Then, she grabbed the strap tied to the bed and nodded slightly at the midwife.

The midwife taught Mu Yangling to regulate her breathing and then instructed her to exert more strength.

Mu Yangling knew that once the amniotic fluid ran out, the babies would be in danger of suffocating if they continued to stay in her stomach.

Hence, she closed her eyes slightly and used almost all her strength to follow the midwife’s instructions.

However, after a while, she still did not hear the midwife say anything like “I’m seeing the child’s head”.

This was completely different from when she gave birth to Little Bear.

Mu Yangling exerted more strength.

Seeing that the midwife was still telling her to exert yet more strength, she asked angrily, “How wide is the cervix now?” The midwives looked at each other and said, “About 4 cm…” “Mama Wang!

Mama Wang!” Mu Yangling’s sudden cry shocked everyone in the room.

Spring hurriedly knelt on the ground and held Mu Yangling’s hand.

“Your Highness, tell me what you want.

I’ll get it for you right away.” “Go and call Mama Wang in.

Get her to wash her hands and quickly come in.” The midwives’ faces turned pale.

They forced a smile and went forward to comfort her.

“Your Highness, considering you’re pregnant with twins, a slower delivery is not surprising.

Don’t be anxious.

Listen to us and exert your strength first…” Mama Wang, who was commanding everyone outside, had already run in when she heard the shout.

“Your Highness.” “Go wash your hands and see how wide my cervix has opened up.” The four midwives knelt on the ground with a plop, their faces pale.

How could Mama Wang and Spring not understand this situation?

They immediately glared at them hatefully.

As Mu Yangling warned herself not to panic, she said in a low voice, “Go and call His Highness in.” Spring ran out with tears all over her face.

Qi Haoran was squatting under the window and listening to the commotion.

When he saw Spring run out, he jumped up and asked, “Why did the Princess Consort call Mama Wang into the room?” Seeing that Spring’s face was covered in tears, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and his limbs turned cold.

His body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

Fan Zijin hurriedly supported him and comforted him.

“It’s fine, it’s fine.

Ah Ling is blessed by the heavens.

Do find out what’s going on first.” “Your Highness, Her Highness wants to see you.

Do hurry in.” Fan Zijin’s heart turned cold.

Was it to the point where she was leaving behind her last words?

He let go of Qi Haoran’s hand immediately.

With a cold stern expression, Qi Haoran pushed Fan Zijin away and strode towards the delivery room.

The moment he entered the inner room, he forced a smile as he walked in quickly.

Ignoring the midwives who were kneeling on the ground, he hugged Mu Yangling in his arms, then gently wiped the sweat off her face and asked, “What’s wrong?

Are… are you hungry?

Or is it too painful?

It’s alright, we’ll just give birth later.

There’s no hurry.” When Mu Yangling heard his incoherent words, she immediately felt aggrieved and cried, “Where did you find these midwives?

Replace all of them right away.

Don’t tell me there are no other midwives in Ju Prefecture?” Qi Haoran was stunned.

The midwives he found were all ranked top in the prefecture.

All four of them had about 20 years of experience in delivering babies and often served the families of high-ranking officials and gentry.

How could they not be good?

The four midwives knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to look up at Qi Haoran.

Mu Yangling cried, “It’s been almost an hour since my amniotic fluid ran out.

The cervix is clearly fully opened, but there’s no movement from the babies at all.

Instead of thinking of a way, they’re hiding things from me, saying that my cervix only opened 3 or 4 cm.

Chase them away.

I don’t want them to deliver my babies anymore.” Qi Haoran’s expression turned frosty as he looked at them.

Seeing their pale faces, he knew that Mu Yangling had not wronged them.

He looked at them coldly and pointed at the midwife in the lead.

He said to Mama Wang, “Drag her away and hand her over to the government office at dawn.

Tell them that she plotted a murder against the Princess Consort.” “Your Highness, please spare my life.

I won’t dare to do it again.

Please spare my life!

Your Highness…” Right away, Mama Wang brought two maidservants to gag them and drag them away.

Qi Haoran looked at the remaining three midwives and asked, “Tell me, why did you lie to the Princess Consort?” Seeing the three of them look at each other, he could not help but feel rage.

With a sneer, he said, “Looks like you want to accompany her too.

Men.” “Your Highness, I’ll speak.” One of the midwives looked up with a pale face and said, “Her Highness’s cervix was already fully opened up, but we couldn’t see the children’s heads for a long time.

We felt for the fetus twice before, and the two children seem to be hugging each other.

No matter how much strength Her Highness exerted, the two children didn’t stick their heads out…” After hesitating for a moment, the midwife gritted her teeth and said, “Your Highness, I’ve seen such an example before.

The twins might be hugging together out of habit, so they have to be born together.

This is why they won’t let go.

Another possibility…” The midwife kowtowed and said, “Another possibility is that the twins are connected and can’t be separated…” Conjoined twins!

As these two words flashed across Mu Yangling’s mind, she instantly tightened her grip on Qi Haoran’s hand.

But how could this be?

Qi Haoran also held Mu Yangling’s hand tightly.

He looked at the midwife with a dark gaze and said firmly, “I am blessed by the heavens, and so are my children.

Do you think they’re that kind of freaks?” The midwife lowered her head.

Qi Haoran’s gaze was so dark that no one could read his emotions.

He said coldly, “You’d better stop thinking about getting by without doing anything.

Listen, if anything happens to the Princess Consort, none of you will survive.” Tears streamed down Mu Yangling’s face as she choked.

“There’s our children!” Instead of answering her, Qi Haoran hugged her in his arms and said in a low voice, “It’s fine, I’m here.” The remaining three midwives knew that they could not muddle through this matter anymore.

They discussed for a while before pushing out one of them to talk to Qi Haoran.

“Now, we can only try to push one of the babies away.

If we succeed in doing so, we should be able to deliver the children.

If not, we can only use medicine.” The midwife looked at Qi Haoran nervously.

The Prince had already made his stance clear earlier—if they could only save the mother or the children, their priority was to make sure the Princess Consort was safe.
