Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Twins (1)
"The child is coming, yes, the child is coming. My wife, what should I do?" Dugu Chen’s face turned ashen as he saw his wife sweating in pain and asked foolishly.
"Prince, carry the princess back to the bedroom and find the midwives." Xiu Bingxi saw the Prince so nervous and even at a loss for what to do, shook his head slightly, and reminded the Prince at the side.
Having heard that, the Prince carried her horizontally and hurried back to the bedroom: "Someone come, the princess is giving birth, quick, find the midwives."
Immediately, the Prince Residence lit up brightly, Lenglei got up and went straight to the room where the midwives were staying: "Hurry up, get up, the princess is giving birth."
Pushing the door open, he grabbed the two midwives from the bed.
"Miss, wait a moment, I haven’t put on my clothes yet." After waking up, one of the midwives stretched out her hand, put on the clothing beside her quickly, knowing this was the Prince’s wife giving birth, she dared not take it lightly, and didn’t get angry, her hands and feet were much quicker than usual.
The two midwives rushed to the bedroom and drove everyone else out, pointing at one of the many maids outside: "You, go boil water, the more the better."
"Find a pair of scissors and put them in a basin, sterilize them with boiling water."
Baihe and Zhu Lengqing, having heard what the midwives said, ran to the kitchen as if their feet had grown wings.
"My wife, if it hurts, bite me." Dugu Chen, seeing her biting her red lips, said distressingly to her on the bed.
Feng Xuxu shook her head weakly, smiling: "Bite you, and it won’t hurt you?"
"It’s fine, I have thick skin, I’m not afraid of pain." He reached out his hand to move her soaked hair to one side, revealing a pale little face.
When the midwives had finished preparing and saw the Prince was still inside, they exchanged a glance and said from a few meters away from the Prince: "Prince, when a woman is giving birth, men should not be in the room; please, Prince, go outside." They implied subtly, not saying anything about bad luck or bad omens, as they were also afraid of losing their heads.
"You do your work; I am not leaving," he said with a stern look in his eyes, insisting on not going out.
The two midwives looked at each other, at a loss, having never encountered such a situation before.
"Hurry up. Can’t you see how uncomfortable the princess is in pain?" Seeing them dragging their feet and not coming over, he bellowed angrily.
Startled, the two midwives nodded repeatedly.
"Dugu Chen, go out, a woman giving birth is the ugliest," she said, glancing at the midwives and enduring the pain that was coming from within her body, urging him.
Dugu Chen shook his head vigorously, refusing to leave.
"Be good, go out. My grandmother’s family still doesn’t know what’s happening."
"I won’t."
"Well..., hurry up and go out. Do you want to anger me to death?" she whimpered in pain and glared at Dugu Chen.
"...All right." He gritted his teeth, took a deep look at Feng Xuxu, and turned away.
The two midwives heaved a sigh of relief and came forward quickly to check how many fingers the cervix was dilated.
Once driven out, Dugu Chen paced back and forth outside in unrest, nervously looking towards the door, but all he could see was the brightness inside the room; he couldn’t make out anything else.
Xiu Bingxi watched the scene helplessly, wanting to leave but having not heard a response from the Prince, it didn’t seem appropriate to just stand there while someone else’s wife was giving birth inside.
"Your Highness, you see..." Xiu Bingxi braved it out, stopping the restless Prince.
The Prince lifted his eyelids and glimpsed at him, remembering what had just happened: "You may go back, I have it under control."
Xiu Bingxi internally delighted, bowed with his fists, bid farewell, and hurried out of the Prince Residence.
Dugu Chen stopped pacing, frowned, and remembered Jueqing and the others. He reached out to summon Tian Yi, who was hidden in the shadows: "Go to Xuanyuan Mansion and investigate quietly, inform Jueqing to be on guard."
