Chapter 1121: Yan Xiaosi Is Here! (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not every pregnant woman would give birth on the day of the expected delivery. It was very normal for some to postpone it and others to advance it.
For example, Yu Wan woke up early in the morning without any abnormalities.
She was so confused that she even forgot that today was her due date. She only found it strange. There seemed to be something wrong with the Young Master Manor today.
“Why are you here?” Yu Wan rubbed her eyes and looked at Yan Jiuchao beside her. “Don’t you have to go to court?”
The Great Zhou’s court meeting did not happen every day, but Yan Jiuchao liked to go every day. It was a long time since Yu Wan saw Yan Jiuchao when she woke up.
Yan Jiuchao was neatly dressed. It seemed that he had woken up long ago, but he kept sitting at the head of the bed with no intention of leaving.
This was quite strange. Even if he did not go to court in the past, he would not sit on the bed so quietly, as if he was specially guarding her.
Yu Wan sized him up. “Yan Jiuchao, did you… do something guilty behind my back?”
Yan Jiuchao, who was inexplicably taking the blame:
Yu Wan still did not remember the due date after breakfast. She just realized that the people in the courtyard had suddenly become strange. Usually, even the three little eggs, who would cause trouble while staying with Prince Yan, were no longer noisy at all! They sat quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard and drew graffiti. They were loving and especially obedient.
The Ninth Princess had always been quite obedient. She was the most normal when she was reading under the porch.
Bruiser would make a trip to her every now and then. She grabbed Bruiser.
“Don’t you have cla.s.s today? Why are you always running to my room?”
Little Bruiser spread his hands and thought to himself that he wanted to attend cla.s.s, but Uncle Prince Yan was even more distracted than him. He would hint for him to come and take a look later, afraid that his sister would suddenly give birth!
But Sis herself had forgotten the day Gou Dan was born!
Little Bruiser took a deep look at his sister and sympathized with his nephew. “Alright, I’m leaving!” Little Bruiser placed his hands behind his back and left like an old man.
Yu Wan:
Were children nowadays… so annoying?
Pinger was the most shrewish among the maidservants. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have accompanied Yu Wan to various countries and experienced life and death. However, even she seemed to have changed into a different person early in the morning and was careful in everything she did.
Yu Wan took a walnut to eat. She pinched these walnuts one by one, but Ping’er flashed over. “Let me do it, Young Madam!”
Crack!
Yu Wan easily crushed the walnut. “Are you as fast as me?”
Pinger : ‘
Yan Jiuchao followed wherever Yu Wan went. Previously, the three little eggs and Bruiser were her little tails. Those four little tails were gone, but a big tail appeared.
Yu Wan went to the toilet, and he actually followed her. She frowned and looked at him strangely. “You followed me to the toilet?”
Yan Jiuchao said seriously, “Oh.” He had to follow her only when she went to the toilet. He was afraid that she would accidentally drop the child into the toilet.
Yu Wan was still lively after lunch and showed no signs of contractions.
“Don’t tell me… she won’t give birth today?” In the room, Tao’er asked Nanny Liu softly.
Nanny Liu was the most impressive midwife in the capital. She had delivered more than a thousand children, and she had delivered most of the children in the circle of the rich and powerful. She had been invited into the manor by Uncle Wan half a month ago and had been eating and drinking well.
Nanny Liu ate a melon seed and looked at Yu Wan, who was sitting in the courtyard eating candied hawthorn. She smacked her lips and said, “It’s hard to say.”
“What do you mean by that?” Tao’er asked worriedly.
Nanny Liu said, “Her stomach isn’t small anymore. The day is here. She can give birth if she wants to, but some children… They come out late. Don’t worry, the Princess Consort’s pregnancy was quite smooth. It’s fine if she’s a few days late.”
Ping’er was the only one who knew about Yan Jiuchao’s condition. After entering the Great Zhou, Yu Wan did not hide it from her.
When she heard Nanny Liu’s words, she was so anxious that her palms were sweating. It was easy for her to say that it would be fine if it was a few days later. Yes, the child was fine, but Young Master was not fine! Young Master was still waiting for the medicinal primer!
Counting the days, Yan Jiuchao had indeed reached the critical point of the poison acting up.
In fact, three days ago, Yan Jiuchao had vaguely felt the abnormality of his pulse. His pulse was sometimes extremely fast, and sometimes it was extremely slow. Occasionally, it was accompanied by irregular palpitations.
Yu Wan thought that he woke up early, but little did she know that he did not sleep at all. He could no longer fall asleep. Old Cui had long reminded him that if the poison acted up again, he would not be able to suppress it with medicine and could only take the final antidote..
