Chapter 433 Jun Qixian gives birth to her second child

Gu Chenglin suppressed his burgeoning desire and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay!"

Seeing everyone's joyful faces, Ruyi controlled the Ruyi Carpet and flew towards the capital.

Nestled in Gu Chenglin's arms, Dongfang Jin, filled with anticipation for the future, unconsciously smiled.

Prince Dun's Mansion.

Jinxiuju Maternity Ward.

Inside the delivery room, heavy curtains shut out the noise from the outside world, with only dim, flickering candlelight casting messy shadows on the walls.

It's been a whole day, and Princess Consort Jun Qixian is still in the delivery room.

Her face was as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down her temples, soaking the bedding beneath her.

The midwives and maids were extremely busy, and a tense atmosphere filled the room.

Liu, the midwife, was anxiously directing things inside the room. It was said that the Princess Consort was already pregnant with her second child.

The gaps in my bones shouldn't be opening this slowly; it's driving me crazy!

Jun Qixian gripped the bedsheet tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. A sharp pain shot through her, and she couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

"Your Highness, take a deep breath, yes."

"Alright, Your Highness, let's do it again."

"Your Highness, push! Push harder!" the midwife cried anxiously, her voice urging her on.

Jun Qixian gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead, and exerted all her strength, each effort feeling like a life-or-death struggle against fate.

Cang Lingxuan frowned, his dark hair was a little messy, and his usual noble and elegant demeanor was completely gone.

He paced back and forth outside the delivery room, his footsteps hurried and heavy, each step pressing on his taut nerves.

This is my second child, how come it took longer than when I had my first and second children?

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. Every now and then, he would stop and press his ear against the closed door.

He tried to catch even the slightest sound inside, but apart from the occasional faint noise, he couldn't hear anything, which made his heart pound with anxiety.

"Ah Xian, let's not have any more babies after this one..." Cang Lingxuan kept repeating this sentence anxiously.

Princess Dun, standing to the side, also looked worried; her once dignified face was now filled with haggardness and anxiety.

She unconsciously clasped her hands together, gripping the handkerchief tightly until her knuckles turned white from the force.

"My child, you must be safe..." she murmured, her voice trembling, her hands clasped together.

The spies in the manor have been eliminated over the years; they are all our own people now.

Their family doubled their manpower when their daughter-in-law gave birth, and before anything went wrong, this difficult labor happened.

"Have you prepared everything Xiao Jin'er asked for?"

Andai immediately replied, "The little princess has eaten them all, and Qing Shuang and the others have some too."

Your Highness, please rest assured, the young princess will be safe and sound.

They possess a treasure given to them by the princess, which will surely ensure the safety of the young princess and her child.

Didn't the Empress also rely on the treasures given to her by the princess?

Dongfang Yuan clasped her hands together: "That's good, that's good. Amitabha... bless my son with a safe delivery..."

But his eyes remained fixed on the door that would determine his fate, his eyes reddening with worry and prayer.

Cang Lingxuan looked at his mother, his chapped lips moved as if to comfort her, but he found his throat too dry to make a sound.

They could only send glances to Dai An and Wen Fu, signaling them to keep a close eye on their mother.

Hearing Jun Qixian's suppressed voice, he could deeply feel his wife's pain inside the room.

This feeling of helplessness was like a dull knife, slowly cutting into his heart.

Thankfully, they already have a second child. Thankfully, their family won't have any more children in the future. Thankfully.

Ah-Xian, hang in there. After this, you won't have to suffer like this anymore.

Cang Lingxuan said silently to himself.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the lanterns under the eaves to sway from side to side, and the light and shadow danced on their faces.

This further highlights the anxiety and unease in their hearts; every second of waiting felt like a long, agonizing ordeal.

Inside the delivery room, a loud cry broke the silence as the first child was born.

Judging from the voice, the child is healthy and is a boy.

Dongfang Yuan's previously tense body instantly relaxed, her eyes welled up with tears, and they streamed down her cheeks.

"Thank God, my son has finally been born safely..." No matter what the baby is born, as long as he is safe, that's all that matters.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, sobbing, but the corners of her mouth turned up high, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out with joy.

"Your Highness, the young princess has given birth to a son safely!" Lan shouted excitedly from inside the room.

"Good, good, it's finally born! Reward her!" Dongfang Yuan's voice trembled, choked with sobs, as she repeatedly said "reward."

As she spoke, she quickly approached the door of the delivery room, eager to rush in immediately.

Dai An wiped away her tears, took the water bottle, poured a glass of warm water, and fed it to the princess.

Dongfang Yuan didn't even look at it; after drinking the water, her gaze remained fixed on the door.

It's clear that their relationship with their mother-in-law is truly excellent.

Inside the delivery room, Jun Qixian gave birth smoothly and hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then came another sharp pain in my stomach, as if my body was being torn apart.

It was excruciating for her; this second pregnancy was even more painful than the first.

With a smile plastered on her face, Granny Zhao held the child and moved closer to Jun Qixian.

Qingwu wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Princess Consort, look at the Third Young Master's head and weight."

They are all heavier than when you gave birth to your eldest and second sons.

No wonder the delivery took so long, from this morning until now, sigh, it's really exhausting.

This is a twin pregnancy; if the Princess Consort has a difficult childbirth, they probably won't fare much better.

Jun Qixian was already exhausted, but she still forced herself to look at the third brother.

She is indeed very big; it's probably because she's pregnant and loves to eat.

Ever since Dongfang Jin learned that she was pregnant again, he has been sending her all sorts of food every few days.

Moreover, she didn't experience morning sickness during her second pregnancy, unlike when she was pregnant with her first.

This pregnancy can be described as a "hungry wolf" whose belly always feels like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

As I thought about it, sweat blurred my vision, and my consciousness was also becoming somewhat hazy from the waves of pain.

No wonder Dongfang Jin didn't want children; it must be too painful.

On Qingwu's side, she kept feeding Jun Qixian Five Elements Spring Water with a spoon.

These are all "divine waters" left behind by the princess to let her know she is safe.

Seeing the little princess's suppressed pain, Qingwu became frightened as well.

Fortunately, her bodyguards had already drunk the contraceptive soup, otherwise she wouldn't want to endure such pain.

No wonder the princess refused to have children no matter what.

She felt that the princess was right; children didn't necessarily have to be born to her.

Painless pregnancy isn't bad either.

"Almost there, Your Highness, just hang in there a little longer!" The midwives' voices echoed in her ears, giving her a sliver of strength.

"Mmm, ah..." Jun Qixian didn't hold back this time because it really hurt too much.

"Your Highness, give it your all! The head's out! Push harder!"

Upon hearing the midwife's words, Jun Qixian gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and raised her head: "Mmm, ah..."

"Wow..." A loud voice rang out.

Finally, the second child was born smoothly, and loud cries mingled with excited congratulations from inside the house.

Jun Qixian listened to the children's cries and weakly closed her eyes.

"Your Highness! The young princess has given birth to another son safely..." Granny Lan shouted towards the door while holding the baby.

No wonder the little princess gave birth so long ago, and both of her children are bigger than the last.

Fortunately, there were things left by the princess; if it were another pregnant woman, she would definitely have had a difficult childbirth.

Upon hearing this, Jun Qixian said, "It's good that you're safe."

A slight smile played on her lips, and tears silently streamed down her cheeks, making it impossible to tell whether they were from pain or joy.

"Your Highness and the two young masters are back!" Cangji rushed over, his voice preceding his arrival.

Upon hearing Cangji's shout, Dongfang Yuan raised her voice and asked, "Is Xiao Jin back?"

Cangji ran over and nodded eagerly, "They're back! They're all back!"

Your Highness, the Princess, the son-in-law, and the young master…

Upon hearing these words of affirmation, Jun Qixian slowly closed her eyes again.

A happy smile quietly appeared on that tired face.

She murmured softly, "You're back, Xiao Jin. You finally made it back. Thank you."

After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep.
