The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 364 - 226: Induce the Miscarriage

Yun Chunnuan still remembered, when she was in her senior year of high school, her cousin, who had just gotten married, became pregnant and discovered it within the first ten days.

Her cousin first used a test strip, then went to the hospital for a check-up, confirming the pregnancy without a doubt.

When she talked to her in a video call, she was so emotional she kept crying.

After this, she accompanied her cousin for check-ups. If she hadn’t traveled through time, that baby would have been born by now...

But Yun Chunnuan overlooked the fact that this was ancient times; how could a diagnosis be made so early?

Her menstrual period had just ended a few days ago. Even counting from the last day, it hadn’t even been twenty days.

The ancient method of diagnosing was simply incapable of such early detection.

However, Imperial Physician Cui suggested that the fetus was at least forty days old.

The speed of this growth...

Yun Chunnuan and Yelyu Lie exchanged a glance, both thinking of the same thing.

"Madam?" Imperial Physician Cui called softly, "Did you understand what I said, my lady?"

Yun Chunnuan withdrew her gaze, her expression unchanged, "I understand. We have not yet thanked you for that day at the Royal Palace, my husband..."

She called softly, and Yelyu Lie immediately took out the prepared silver reward.

The old physician waved his hand, "It’s not for me, the General should know why I did it."

The one at Ningxiang Hall did him a great favor!

If it hadn’t been for the Lady, his only son would have been executed by the King a long time ago.

Before the Lady left, she summoned him to Ningxiang Hall under the guise of a cold and specifically instructed him to take good care of the General.

At that time, he guessed that the Lady was probably going to leave.

Once he went to the King’s quarters, he could only feign ignorance.

Working in the palace requires a certain level of oblivion and bright eyes, otherwise one might accidentally choose the wrong side and bring ruin upon the entire family.

The current King is clearly not the same as before.

He is foolish, incompetent, and lavish, without care for the people’s lives or the soldiers’ pains.

Choosing such a Prince to inherit the throne only makes one worry about Bianliao’s future.

So, even without that day’s coercion, he would definitely side with the General, whether for public or private reasons.

However, the reward cannot be accepted.

Every profession has its own rules.

The fetus in the General’s wife’s belly is not auspicious, and gold and silver treasures must not be received.

Just praying for peace.

No matter how it was offered, the old physician did not accept the reward.

Seeing the couple not mentioning the miscarriage, he couldn’t help urging, "General, Madam, I know this is a brutal blow to new parents.

But if this fetus is kept, it will harm the Madam’s body. I cannot even determine the exact situation, let alone prescribe the right treatment.

It has to be terminated, it must be terminated.

Otherwise, it will certainly harm the Madam in the future..."

The old physician left many words unsaid.

The General and the Madam are smart people; they should understand that the harm isn’t just physical, but also life-threatening!

Living long makes one see a lot.

But this was Imperial Physician Cui’s first time seeing such a case.

A fetus at most twenty days old appeared to be like one at forty days. If allowed to develop...

A monster!

A disaster!

It cannot stay!

"Imperial Physician Cui."

As the old physician spoke, he was suddenly interrupted by a steady voice.

He glanced at the calm-faced General, as if this matter was utterly ordinary to him, as if he hadn’t been affected at all.

"The dizziness the Madam has been experiencing has not improved for days. Could you prescribe a remedy? If it persists, we will trouble you to visit again."

Imperial Physician Cui looked at the pale Little Princess on the bed with surprise.

Although he disagreed inwardly, this was a matter for the couple. He could only sigh and say, "Very well, but the longer this dizziness lasts, the more harm it does to the Madam’s body."

"You two should make early plans."

The old physician prescribed medicine for treating dizziness.

As for fetus-preserving medicine, forget about it; this kind of pregnancy ought to be terminated quickly, what would be preserved?

Finally sending him off, Yelyu Lie returned to the room to find the tear-stained face of his delicate flower, already streaming with tears.

"Nuannuan..." Yelyu Lie’s heart broke, sitting on the bedside, pulling her small frame into his embrace.

"Could it be... Blood Beads?"

This thing had been away from her for too long, long enough for Yun Chunnuan to think that once it disappeared, all previous worries would dissipate.

Although he once used Blood Beads, the body’s metabolism would have expelled it within about three months.

How could it be possible?

Unless...

"Husband! Could it possibly be the Spiritual Spring Water? I think it’s good stuff, drinking it as tea every day..."

"Nuannuan, we must terminate the pregnancy."

Whether it’s Blood Beads or Spiritual Spring Water, it’s now irrelevant.

What matters is that this child cannot stay.

Although he didn’t want to part with it, according to Imperial Physician Cui, the child was growing at an alarming rate inside his delicate flower.

Terrifying!

Normally, a fetus takes ten months to grow slowly in the mother’s womb, allowing the mother a process of gradual acceptance.

But his child...

Just the thought that in a couple of months, his delicate flower might be bearing an overwhelming belly.

Yelyu Lie was terrified!

Not of the child, but worried that Nuannuan could not withstand it!

"Since you’ve asked Imperial Physician Cui to visit another day, it must be because you want to hear my choice, isn’t that right?"

"What do you want to say?"

Yelyu Lie’s brow furrowed, suddenly fearing to hear words he didn’t want to hear from those forever unfulfilled small lips.

By asking Imperial Physician Cui to return another day, he truly wanted to give Nuannuan some breathing room.

The news came too suddenly; she needed time to adjust before the miscarriage...

It was heartbreakingly cruel.

He worried that her mind and body couldn’t endure, and now was a good time to nourish her.

But it didn’t mean he wanted to keep this child.

"I want... to wait a few more days..."

Yun Chunnuan stroked her abdomen, not because she wasn’t afraid, but because there was her baby; how could she easily say to let it go?

Little Jiao Jiao was beautiful to begin with, and now with tears on her pear-like face, her lips curved slightly, her eyes shimmering with unprecedented softness.

It was a glow seen only on a mother’s face.

Gentle, warm, steadfast...

Tears hung on her little face, yet she was happily content, knowing full well that the baby in her belly could be a bomb, ready to blast her to pieces at any time.

But besides being strong and brave, there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes.

The more she was like this, the more Yelyu Lie was in pain, his heart twisting in agony.

He should be happy with Little Jiao Jiao; he should relish this newfound joy of fatherhood.

But he... just couldn’t find happiness...

This fetus, to leave or not, brought him only anxiety and pain.
