Chapter 1045: Birth
After all, some things are one matter to think about, but really accepting them is another.
"Servant... servant listens to the Princess Consort."
Once she said this, Liang Xia’s meaning was almost completely understood by Ye Jiu.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but bitterly smile in her heart.
This was her own choice, and if she ever learns the true identity of Ye Bai, she hopes she won’t be too frightened.
After all, besides being a different species, Ye Jiu believes Ye Bai will certainly be a good husband and man.
At night, Ye Jiu entered the space, intending to hold onto a stroke of luck to see if she could meet Sikong Mo.
As it turned out, they truly had a connection.
By the time Ye Jiu entered, Sikong Mo was already inside waiting.
Knowing that matters in the capital city had already stabilized and Sikong Mo was leading the army back, Ye Jiu could finally find peace.
Sikong Mo’s large hand caressed Ye Jiu’s protruding belly.
He couldn’t help but think in his heart that the due date should be within the next two days.
He hopes this child will hold on until he returns.
So he can be with her, although unable to bear the pain of childbirth, his presence can offer her comfort and lessen his guilt.
Learning that Sikong Mo could return in two days, Ye Jiu was finally at ease.
After coming out of the space and returning to bed, she slept sweetly and soundly for the first time in nearly two months.
The next morning, before Ye Jiu got out of bed, she suddenly felt a twinge in her abdomen, followed by pain.
Being experienced, Ye Jiu promptly called for Liang Xia, "Liang Xia, quickly, call the doctor and midwife..."
Liang Xia hurriedly ran outside upon hearing this.
By the time the doctor and midwife arrived, the pain in Ye Jiu’s abdomen had suddenly subsided.
The midwife checked and found it was just labor pain, not yet time for childbirth, merely a false alarm.
However, since labor pains have started, childbirth will occur within the next two days.
Sikong Wuhen and Si Kong Wuyu were instructed not to disturb Ye Jiu anymore, and everyone around her was filled with a sense of readiness.
By noon the next day, the birth truly began.
Ye Jiu was placed in the birthing room, and the twisting pain in her belly turned her face pale.
Although it wasn’t her first experience, it still made her want to die from the pain.
Outside Fengyang City, Sikong Mo suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.
He turned to Si Nan and instructed, "You and Si Bei follow the army forward, I’ll go ahead."
"Shouldn’t Si Bei follow the Prince?" Si Nan suggested.
"No need." With that, Sikong Mo exerted pressure with his legs, and the steed beneath him began to gallop swiftly.
By the time Sikong Mo finally arrived at the Royal Residence, he heard that Ye Jiu had already gone into labor.
Not bothering with the horse, the servant leading it hadn’t reached him before Sikong Mo rushed inside.
"Prince..."
Along the way, people occasionally greeted him, but he ignored them, focused only on the woman inside enduring anguish for him.
At the entrance to the birthing room, Sikong Mo just arrived when a scream was heard from inside.
Immediately afterward, accompanied by the increasingly louder cries of a baby.
"It’s born... it’s born..." The voices of the maidservants and matrons rose one after another, all revealing excitement.
Unable to wait any longer, Sikong Mo pushed open the door and strode in.
