Chapter 467 (2/2)

Later on, it would be recorded in history books that Marquis Moyu was the official that had supported multiple emperors and never shown the slightest hint of rebelling. Ning Mingjie was written down in history as an extremely loyal general. He had the military power to take over the kingdom at anytime, but he remained loyal to the emperor for his entire life and only obeyed the emperor's orders.

These two people would become legendary figures in history. Of course, this was something that would happen much later on.

Zhu Yurun woke up in the middle of the night and went running to Marquis Moyu's estate in panic.

Qian Yingchen was chasing after her. He anxiously shouted, “Slow down!”

“Can't go slower! Can't wait!” Zhu Yurun had only remembered to put one shoe. “Mister Ji is about give birth! Hurry up, go faster!”

Qian Yingchen could only run after her.

Ji Man had gone into labor today. Her past months of pregnancy had pa.s.sed without mishap. When various people heard that she was giving birth, they all rushed to marquis's estate to offer their congratulations. Even though the child hadn't been born yet, madams from various families were already waiting at the marquis's estate's entrance.

It was the middle of the night, and the weather was cold, but Ji Man's room was warm from the burning charcoal in braziers. Zhu Yurun and Dengxin were staring at the midwife so hard that the midwife's hands trembled.

Ji Man even had to comforting the midwife. “Don't be nervous. First, take a deep breath…”

Everyone was worried that the past would repeat itself, so no one dared to leave. Because of propriety, Ning Yuxuan was standing outside the birthing room and keeping guard. He was so nervous that he couldn't stop pacing back and forth.

Mu Shuiqing was already dizzy from watching him turn so many times. She helplessly said, “My lord, please sit down and rest.”

“How can I rest?” Ning Yuxuan looked fretful. Where had the calm demeanor that he showed in the imperial court gone? As soon as he heard pained sounds coming from Ji Man's room, his eyes turned red. “I really can't go inside?”

Guibai and Mu Shuiqing uniformly shook their heads.

Guibai now understood why his master had locked himself up in the study when Madam had been giving birth last time. His uneasiness was too strong and couldn't be concealed.

“Ahhh!”

The situation in the inner room resolved surprisingly quickly. Ji Man hadn't been screaming in pain for long before they heard the sound of a baby crying.

The people outside let out sighs of relief. Qian Yingchen swiftly said, “Congratulations, marquis.”

In contrast, Marquis Moyu was stunned stupid. It was if his entire body was suffering from an electrical power failure. A long time later, he finally asked, “It's born?”

The midwife brought out the baby. She was somewhat dejected, but she still smiled and said, “To respond to the marquis, Madam gave birth to a daughter.”

Such bad luck! She had been hoping to deliver a son in order to get more reward money!

“A daughter?” Ning Yuxuan stretched his hands out and took the baby from the midwife. He blankly looked down at the baby in his arms. The crying baby hadn't opened her eyes yet. Unlike her older brother, she wasn't a quiet baby. But, once he had settled the baby in his arms, the baby suddenly stopped crying. Her eyeb.a.l.l.s were turning under her eyelids. It seemed as if she really wanted to open her eyes to look at him.
