211 Lin Zhou: The Ce Feis Story 2 (1/2)

Even though Tao Gu Gu knew that something was wrong, she didn't dare to ask anyone else for help. She could only find her sister-in-law and let her ask about it to physicians in the village. It was better than nothing... They had no friends in the prince's palace, so she couldn't even entrust the Ce Fei to the other servants.

She knew very well that they were sent by the prince as a spy. She was supposed to be one. If the Ce Fei wasn't Tao Gu Gu's benefactor, she certainly wouldn't help her too.

The physicians that her sister-in-law found said that there was also an occurrence like depression when a woman was pregnant or just gave birth to a baby. There were a lot of possibilities for that to happen. This type of depression was actually rare to happen at the noble ladies because their environment was quite stable and also usually because the noblemen loved to have a lot of kids --- they usually pampered the pregnant woman to the max.

However, to the lower class people, it was a common occurrence. They lived in a poor environment and not all of them had a doting husband. It was hard for them to find food and still eager for their husbands' love, this could lead to depression.

Tao Gu Gu knew that what happened to the Ce Fei was because the side effects of the 'Intense Pleasure' and it was also combined with her previous depression. Tao Gu Gu could only sigh. The physician didn't really have a method to treat the Ce Fei and Tao Gu Gu could only promise her freedom after giving birth. She didn't even know what would happen to the child but in her mind, the Ce Fei was the most important thing for her.

Looking at the Ce Fei's condition, it would already a miracle if she could survive by herself. Could she entrust the baby to her? Tao Gu Gu didn't think so. She had a premonition that if she stayed inside the palace, she would die in depression. Why didn't she try to give her a chance of freedom?

Tao Gu Gu knew that she couldn't leave the palace along with the Ce Fei because it would only hinder the Ce Fei's movement, so she decided to stay in the prince palace --- just for keeping the baby safe. She could just ask for her sister-in-law's place to find a good place for the Ce Fei. She felt lucky that she had redeemed their slaves' contract before, otherwise, no one would be able to help her.

Tao Gu Gu had asked for the Ce Fei's permission and they sold the Ce Fei's jewelry one by one so they could keep the money for the Ce Fei to spend in the outside. They didn't dare to prepare a place in advance because they were afraid that it would lead back to Tao Gu Gu's family. once the Ce Fei gained her freedom, it would be up to her to survive.

Tao Gu Gu smiled bitterly to herself when she saw the cheerful Ce Fei. She had asked whether she wanted to take the baby, but she just smiled at her and didn't give her a definite answer. That was why Tao Gu Gu knew that she could only rely on herself to make the baby safe. However, she would need help from other people.

Yao Ling asked in confusion, ”The Ce Fei lived in a foreign kingdom, was there really someone that was willing to help both of you?”

”It wasn't that they were willing... it was because of a stroke of luck...” Tao Gu Gu said.

”Huh?” Yao Ling asked in confusion.

”You don't need to worry! You will know everything once I finish telling you the story.”

Yao Ling nodded and she could only patiently listen to the rest of the story. It seemed like this story wasn't going to be simple at all. ”Did... she give birth safely?” Yao Ling really wanted to know this point --- it was whether the Ce Fei was actually still alive or not.

Tao Gu Gu nodded. ”Yes, she finally gave birth safely despite her depression.”
