Murong Jingwan held her belly with both hands, sat by the window, and looked out the window in ecstasy. The baby in her belly was more than nine months old, and the baby would be born in a few days.
Regarding the birth of her baby, Murong Jingwan was only filled with surprise and fear. She was afraid that the baby she gave birth to was abnormal. The baby in her belly seemed to feel her mother's emotional fluctuations and kept moving, showing
own tenacious vitality.
Murong Jingwan felt the baby's powerful kicks, and the shadow of Xuan Ningxuan slowly emerged in her mind. At that time, Xuan Ningxuan lay on her belly and listened to the baby's movements.
Murong Jingwan tugged at her long hair that was hanging around her shoulders. Why did she still think about it? She wanted to forget Xuan Ningxuan. She didn't want to think of him, and she couldn't think of him again.
Xuan Ningyi walked in from outside with a solemn expression, but saw Murong Jingwan behaving close to self-abuse.
"Wan'er, what are you doing!" Xuan Ningyi shouted, walked quickly in front of Murong Jingwan, and grabbed her hands to prevent her from continuing to abuse herself.
"Why? Why? I just can't forget him!" Murong Jingwan hugged Xuan Ningyi and cried loudly.
Xuan Ningyi knew that people who were pregnant with babies would have weird tempers, so he could only gently pat Murong Jingwan's back, hoping that she would calm down quickly.
Xuan Ningyi was wondering whether he should tell Murong Jingwan the news he heard in the market today.
Murong Jingwan's mood gradually calmed down, and she slowly raised her head from Xuan Ningyi's arms.
Xuan Ningyi looked at Murong Jingwan's red and swollen eyes from crying, and felt heartbroken.
"Yi, are you worried?" Murong Jingwan said firmly, Xuan Ningyi's expression told her everything.
Xuan Ningyi turned away as if to avoid it. Murong Jingwan was about to give birth and he couldn't let her worry about Xuan Ningxuan.
"Yi, don't you believe me, so you don't want me to share your thoughts?" Murong Jingwan said in an extremely aggrieved manner, her red and swollen eyes even more pitiful.
Xuan Ningyi took a deep breath and whispered: "Wan'er, I can tell you, but you must not be anxious after knowing it."
Murong Jingwan nodded seriously and said softly: "The baby is about to be born, and I will not do anything to harm the baby."
"There is a plague in Luoyang. The epidemic is very serious. Xuan Ningxuan has gone there in person." Xuan Ningyi told Murong Jingwan exactly what he heard at the market.
Murong Jingwan's expression suddenly changed. He was the emperor, how could he go to such a dangerous place? What should he do if he was infected with the plague?
"Yi, can we go to Luoyang immediately?" Murong Jingwan stood up in panic, grabbed Xuan Ningyi's sleeve and said eagerly.
Xuan Ningyi had known that Murong Jingwan would behave like this, so he didn't want to tell her the matter.
"Wan'er, the baby is about to be born, how can you go to Luoyang?" Xuan Ningyi said in a deep voice.
Murong Jingwan wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her stomach. Murong Jingwan fell into Xuan Ningyi's arms in pain, cold sweat continuously falling from her forehead.
"Wan'er, did the baby kick you?" Xuan Ningyi gently stroked Murong Jingwan's abdomen, hoping that the baby would stop quickly.
Murong Jingwan thought that her mood swings made the baby unhappy, and that the pain would stop after a while. But this time, the pain not only did not relieve, but became more and more painful.
Murong Jingwan wondered in her mind whether the baby wanted to be born early.
"Wan'er, could it be that the baby is about to come out?" Xuan Ningyi asked hesitantly, but there was a feeling of fear in his heart.
Murong Jingwan nodded laboriously and said weakly: "Yi, I'm afraid the baby is about to come out. Go find the midwife quickly."
Xuan Ningyi nodded in panic, picked up Murong Jingwan and placed her on the small bed beside her.
"Wan'er, hold on, I'll be back soon." Xuan Ningyi walked out quickly, but secretly blamed himself in his heart for not telling Murong Jingwan that Xuan Ningxuan went to Luoyang.
Pain came in waves, Murong Jingwan stroked her belly and said with difficulty: "Baby, will you come out in a while?"
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and Murong Jingwan couldn't help but cry out loudly. As Murong Jingwan exerted her strength, a loud cry came from the room.
Baby? Is it the baby's cry? Murong Jingwan's consciousness was about to disappear, but she heard a loud cry and struggled to sit up.
Tears welled up instantly, and Murong Jingwan carefully picked up the baby. The baby's face was red and wrinkled, but her cry was very loud.
Murong Jingwan grabbed the umbilical cord with one hand, lowered her head and bit it off.
Tears fell on the baby's small body, and Murong Jingwan gently wiped the blood on the baby's body with her hands.
"You little guy, you are so impatient that you can't wait to come out!" Murong Jingwan said angrily, but there was a happy smile in her eyes.
"Hurry up, the baby is really about to be born." Xuan Ningyi's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Soon Xuan Ningyi and the midwife appeared in front of Murong Jingwan.
"Wan'er, the baby is born." Xuan Ningyi stared in shock at the bloody baby in Murong Jingwan's arms.
"This child is so impatient." The midwife smiled and walked to Murong Jingwan's bed and continued, "Madam, I'm going to boil some hot water to clean this little guy. You have no experience."
Murong Jingwan glanced at the midwife gratefully and said softly: "Thank you."
Xuan Ningyi quickly walked to Murong Jingwan's side and wrapped Murong Jingwan's baby tightly in a quilt.
"Wan'er, have a good rest." Xuan Ningyi said softly.
Murong Jingwan nodded and said happily: "Yi, the baby's name is Che, Xuanche. I hope the baby is as clear as the clear lake water and is not polluted by the world."
Xuan Ningyi understood Murong Jingwan's thoughts and said softly: "Xuan Che, what a nice name."
When he lowered his head to look at Murong Jingwan, she was already asleep.
The midwife quickly walked in with a basin of steaming water. When she saw the sleeping Murong Jingwan, she immediately lowered her voice and said, "Master, bring the baby over here."
Xuan Ningyi carefully picked up the baby, afraid of dropping him.
The midwife took the baby from Xuan Ningyi's hands, dragged the baby's neck and placed him in the basin.
"Congratulations, sir, on your birth of a baby boy. He is very healthy," the midwife said with a smile.
Xuan Ningyi looked at the midwife in shock. The baby was healthy, and Murong Jingwan could finally feel at ease.
In order to show its tenacious vitality, the baby kept shaking its little hands and feet in the water basin, causing water splashes.
"So naughty." Xuan Ningyi tapped Xuan Che's nose, his eyes full of doting. Xuan Che's cuteness made Xuan Ningyi really fall in love with this child.
