Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 -1003: Fulfillment

The blood-stained Xiao Rongyan, fearing that Mrs. Dong might grow more worried not knowing the situation, solemnly bowed deeply to Mrs. Dong in greeting: “The eldest Miss was speaking with Rong Yan… and the Rong’s ghost-faced Prince when she suddenly collapsed. Please, Madam… Empress Dowager, do not worry. Doctor Hong is already taking her pulse.”

Doctor Hong gave Xiao Rongyan a deep look, then stood up and made a deep bow towards Mrs. Dong, saying: “Madam, rest assured, the eldest Miss is not in a critical condition. However…”

“However?!” The fourth Madam, Mrs. Wang, who was continuously fingering her Buddha beads, paused and tightly gripped them, “However, what?!” 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Doctor Hong glanced at Xiao Rongyan, gritting his teeth, then, after another deep bow, said: “Madam, may I speak with you in private.”

Xiao Rongyan clenched his palms, not understanding why Doctor Hong suddenly seemed to regard him with such deep resentment.

Mrs. Dong felt her heart leap to her throat, nodded, and walked with Doctor Hong to a corner of the hall lit by thirty-two intertwined lights. Only then did Doctor Hong speak: “Madam, the eldest Miss… is pregnant.”

Mrs. Dong stared wide-eyed at Doctor Hong in shock, her mind buzzing as she instinctively looked towards Xiao Rongyan, seeing his sleeves stained with blood… Injured and with bandages, Xiao Rongyan was bending over to cover Bai Qingyan with a light blanket. She steadied her breath and asked Doctor Hong: “But wasn’t it said that Kid’s body, having offspring…”

“Having offspring is difficult, but not impossible. Moreover… the eldest Miss’s cold syndrome has actually improved.” Doctor Hong’s expression was grave, “However, the eldest Miss’s body is still not quite suitable for pregnancy, and coupled with not having rested well, due to overexertion, she experienced heart palpitations and fainted.”

“But… could there be danger?” Mrs. Dong’s throat tightened, indifferent to her reputation and such. Kid is now the Empress of Zhou, and many expect her to appoint an emperor consort and bear offspring, but she cannot ignore Kid’s health!

Since ancient times, pregnancy for women was akin to stepping one foot into the realm of ghosts, especially considering her Kid’s body was injured in the past. Doctor Hong also mentioned she wasn’t suitable for pregnancy, which deeply worries Mrs. Dong as her mother.

This detestable Xiao Rongyan, if not for his previous goodwill towards the Bai family, Mrs. Dong feared she might not resist having the imperial guard throw him out right now!

Mrs. Dong clenched her fists tightly. Glancing back, she saw several sister-in-laws looking at her anxiously, full of worry. Mrs. Dong forced herself to control her emotions and said to Doctor Hong, “This matter, do not make it public.”

“I understand the gravity of the situation.” Doctor Hong nodded.

Mrs. Dong exhaled a long breath, turned towards the direction of the Bai family wives and said, “Doctor Hong said Kid is alright… just overworked during this time, a good rest will suffice. All of you, don’t stay here, please return for now! When Kid wakes up… I’ll have someone notify you, Fifth Sister-in-law… please go back to take care of Xiao Ba!”

“But…” The third Madam, Mrs. Li, was about to speak, but was pulled back by the fifth Madam, Mrs. Qi.

Fifth Madam Mrs. Qi was very astute, knowing that if it was truly overwork, Doctor Hong wouldn’t have needed to speak in private, assuming Eldest Sister-in-law had something to say privately first, and would surely inform them later. There was no hurry.

“Eldest Sister-in-law is right, us being here in numbers isn’t of much use, Eldest Sister-in-law, please take care of Kid first, if needed … send word to us.” Fifth Madam Mrs. Qi bowed to Mrs. Dong.

Watched the wives leave, Mrs. Dong then looked at her own son, Bai Qingyu. With outsiders present… she couldn’t express overly explicitly, and thus said to Bai Qingyu, “Prince, His Majesty is no longer in danger, best for the Prince to return to the posthouse to rest early, today the Prince must have been startled.”
