Chapter 37 The Youngest Child is in Danger
Gu Hua stroked her aching belly and whispered, "Little guys, if you want to avoid getting spanked, get out of here quickly. Otherwise, when you come out, I'll show you how I'll punish you."

Although Gu Hua looked disheveled, she was in good spirits. After all, she had special powers and was much stronger physically than an ordinary pregnant woman.

She had heard from the elderly that a baby would not survive for more than seven months, and that most women pregnant with twins or multiple babies would give birth prematurely. She was now more than seven months pregnant.

Gu Hua felt that apart from the stomachache, she did not feel exhausted. Babies born from multiple births are generally not too big, so she was confident that she could give birth to the cubs smoothly.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the midwife was called out to answer a question, Gu Hua took out the large ginseng that he had exchanged with Qi Yan from the space, took a bite of it, and held it in his mouth.

Then he put away the ginseng he had taken a bite of, endured the pain, and slowly pushed downwards.

The general's mansion was brightly lit all night long.

After drinking a bowl of the mild and effective labor-inducing soup that Situ Haoran had racked his brains to prepare, Gu Hua took a bite of ginseng to replenish her energy when no one was paying attention.

Finally, when the sun rose, the first child was born.

"Pa!" The midwife's palm slapped the baby's butt lightly or heavily.

"Wow……"

The sound of a baby crying perked up the people who had been waiting outside all night.

Situ Haoran was no longer surprised to see Xiao Junlin standing by the door. He just felt that Xiao Junlin, his senior brother who had learned that he could not have children, was going crazy wanting to have a child.

There were no maids in the general's mansion. The two maids who were helping the midwife in the delivery room were temporarily transferred from the kitchen. Xiao Junlin asked them to wash themselves with hot water again and again before letting them in to help.

At this moment, a maid came out in a hurry and reported to Xiao Junlin outside: "My Lord, the young lady has given birth to a little boy."

"Oh, I know."

Situ Haoran curled his lips and looked at the man who was nervous and clenched his fists before, pretending to be indifferent. He just felt that he had some serious illness.

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there is no soft cloth in the mansion to wrap the child. What should we do?"

Xiao Junlin was stunned. He was the only owner of the General's Mansion. Even if Situ Haoran came with him this time because he was poisoned, two grown men would not prepare any clean and soft cloth for no reason.

Thinking of the needs of the newborn baby, Xiao Junlin touched his chin with his slender fingers, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"There are a few of my underwear in the closet. The material is soft. Take them out and tear them into suitable sizes to wrap the child."

"This..." The maid hesitated. She didn't understand why the prince, who was usually cold to others, would be so special to a woman who he suddenly brought home to give birth to a child.

Xiao Jun looked at the maid coldly and said unhappily: "Why don't you go!!"

"Yes... yes" the maid hurriedly followed the order and went in.

Situ Haoran was bored and said, "If I didn't know that you always reject women, I would have thought that the child was yours."

Xiao Junlin's eyes darkened.

His mother died when he was three years old due to a plot by a jealous woman. His father and his mother had been childhood sweethearts and were deeply in love with her. Before he reached adulthood, his father died of illness due to missing his mother.

He is the only one in the huge Prince Li's Mansion. How could Xiao Junlin not want to have a child who is related to him by blood and grow up happily under his protection?

He had worked so hard for the past twenty years to earn glory and wealth just to give his future descendants a better life.

Unexpectedly, before he found the woman he was willing to spend his life with and gave birth to the child he dreamed of, he was poisoned by the overly suspicious emperor and became infertile. If he didn't want those people to reap the benefits, Xiao Junlin would have killed his cousin Xiao Junmo, the emperor who poisoned him with the Fiery Gu.

Situ Haoran saw Xiao Junlin walking out of the small hall where he had stood all night with a gloomy face. He touched his nose and felt a little regretful that he had touched his senior brother's sore spot.

Not long after Xiao Junlin left, the maid from the kitchen of the general's mansion brought him a large bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Gu Hua was pale after tossing and turning all night. He glanced at the baby who was not much bigger than a kitten and was placed next to him by the midwife, and finished the chicken noodle soup while enduring the pain.

"Breathe in, breathe out," the midwife shouted, "Young lady, hurry up, the baby's head can already be seen."

……

In less than an hour, the crying of two babies was heard from the delivery room, completely shocking everyone in the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

"Your Highness, the woman you carried into your room to give birth has now given birth to triplets, two boys and one girl."

Xiao Junlin, who was leaning against the window of the side room and resting with his eyes closed, heard that Gu Hua had given birth to three children. His eyes flashed with the deepest hatred and jealousy towards the father of the children.

"Why aren't these kids mine?"

The subordinate lowered his head very low and dared not speak.

"My Lord, this is bad."

Just when Xiao Junlin had a cold face and was thinking about whether to snatch someone else's child to raise for fun, Ye Ping ran in from the main courtyard, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened."

"What happened?" Xiao Junlin sat up and asked calmly, "Why are you so panicked?"

"That young lady gave birth to three children, and just when everyone thought she was done giving birth, she gave birth to another one."

"Shouldn't having one more child be a good thing?" Ye An, who was also replying to his master, was puzzled: "Why is it not a good thing?"

Ye Ping glared at his brother, then replied respectfully: "This child was born last, because he was held in the womb for too long and died at birth..."

"Let's go and take a look!" Xiao Junlin spread his long legs and walked quickly towards the main house where he lived.

When he came back, he carried the woman into his room without thinking much. When he came to his senses, the woman was already lying on his bed, ready to give birth.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He didn't even throw the woman out with disgust. He always felt familiar with her.

Xiao Junlin walked up the stairs but before he entered the house, he heard the woman's weak, pleading voice: "Master Situ, please save my child..."

"It's not that I don't want to save it, but this last child has been trapped in the mother's womb for too long," Situ Haoran said frankly, "I will try my best. If I can't save it, don't be too sad."

When Xiao Junlin came in, he saw Gu Hua lying on the edge of the bed, pale and weak due to childbirth. Her face was full of tears and her eyes were sad as she stared at Situ Haoran, who was holding the baby in her arms.

Gu Hua felt a hand straightening her body and lying on the bed. When she turned around and saw who was coming, tears of worry and grievance flowed more from her eyes.

"Child, child," Gu Hua looked at Xiao Junlin, "You are the prince, think of a way to save the child."

Xiao Junlin saw that Gu Hua was distracted for a moment, which gave him an illusion that at this moment it was a wife telling her husband to save their child.
