Chapter 1207: Finally About to Give Birth

Ning Shu had a very weak sense of presence in Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. However, she could still sense that someone was watching her.

No, to be exact, it was more like they were observing her. They were probably observing to see if she was behaving honestly.

Ning Shu didn’t bother to pay attention to this and just focused on doing what she should be doing.

She wasn’t planning on doing anything right now anyways.

Lady Song kept causing a ruckus for a very long time. Finally, she was about to give birth, and it had even happened in the middle of the night. Her shrill cries were so loud they could be heard throughout the entire residence.

Lady Niohuru got up and went to Lady Song’s courtyard. All the ladies in the inner courtyard were at Lady Song’s courtyard, even Yinzhen and Lady Ula Nara were there.

Yinzhen looked a little worried, causing his normally cold expression to be even colder. Lady Ula Nara comforted Yinzhen, saying, “Prince, Lady Song will definitely be alright. She’ll definitely be able to give birth to your child without problems.”

Yinzhen took Lady Ula Nara’s hand and said with a trace of warmth, “Madame, you should go back to sleep. It’s enough to have me waiting here.”

“I’ll wait with you.” Lady Ula Nara smiled modestly, then said to Lady Song’s maid, “Tell the midwife that if the child gives the first cry successfully and both the mother and child are safe, the reward will be doubled.”

Yinzhen patted Lady Ula Nara’s hand. “It’s truly my fortune to have a main wife like you.”

Lady Ula Nara simply smiled.

The atmosphere between Yinzhen and Lady Ula Nara was mild. However, though there were no strong feelings, it was very peaceful and respectful. It was clear with a glance that they were a harmonious couple.

Lady Song was in labor for a very long time, but the child still didn’t come out. The sound of her cries was getting weaker and weaker. Back when Ning Shu was still standing outside the courtyard, she had still been able to hear Lady Song’s screams, but now, she could barely hear it.

It was now a question whether this child could be born safely at all. Ning Shu hadn’t forgotten her task to make sure that Lady Song’s child was born safely and did not die young.

As of now, the horizon was starting to lighten. Taking such a long time to push the child out could cause the child harm.

Ning Shu considered things, then decided to head in. First though, she spoke to Lady Niohuru, her current master. “Lady, this servant knows a little medicine. May this servant go inside to take a look at Lady Song?”

Lady Niohuru glanced at Ning Shu, then whispered, “Are you certain?”

If the child managed to be born, things would be okay, but if the child failed to be born, this might even implicate her.

“This servant will try her best,” said Ning Shu with a bow. “Lady Song still hasn’t successfully given birth yet. If things continue dragging on, it’s very likely that there will be birth trauma.”

Lady Niohuru was a little hesitant. What if this maid didn’t succeed?

“Lady, please let allow this servant to try.” Ning Shu looked towards the room. The cries were getting weaker and weaker, and the maids were carrying out basin after basin of bloody water.

Lady Niohuru took a deep breath, then glanced at Ning Shu before speaking to Lady Ula Nara and Yinzhen. “Prince, Madame, this concubine’s maid knows a little medicine. Why not let her go in and take a look?”
