Ji Chen only then noticed her condition, suddenly widening his eyes: “You are…”
“This is a child with Shang Heng. We had already become husband and wife,” Gu Qingtong’s expression was calm, but a smile played on her lips. “If not for this child, I would have followed Shang Heng. In this way, I’m just like the Empress Dowager.”
“Tong’er…” Ji Chen called her name, suddenly at a loss for words.
“Tong’er?” Shen Yuqing heard Ji Chen’s call, suddenly looked up, his eyes full of inquiry.
Gu Qingtong was startled by Shen Yuqing’s sudden behavior and stood up supporting her waist.
Ji Chen quickly restrained Shen Yuqing from approaching: “Brother Yuqing, Tong’er is right here. She’s pregnant now, don’t frighten her.”
“Tong’er, Tong’er is back?” Shen Yuqing suddenly grabbed Ji Chen’s hand.
“Yes, yes, Tong’er is back,” Ji Chen quickly tried to calm him.
After getting a confirmed answer, Shen Yuqing suddenly laughed.
Seeing his tendency to go mad and Ji Chen continuously urging her to leave, Gu Qingtong circled around the table towards the door.
“Tong’er!” Shen Yuqing suddenly noticed her, his eyes turning red.
Gu Qingtong slightly turned her head, and Shen Yuqing rushed to embrace her: “Tong’er, Tong’er!”
“Let me go, let me go,” Gu Qingtong felt her belly suddenly aching, biting her lip and trying to remove Shen Yuqing’s hands.
“Tong’er?” Shen Yuqing stared at her face, seeming to confirm if this person was truly the one in his heart. Slowly, he smiled, as if the figure in his mind merged with the person before him, “Tong’er, it’s you. You are the person in my heart.”
“Shen Yuqing, you, let me go…” Gu Qingtong felt warm liquid flowing beneath her, speaking weakly.
Ji Chen saw Gu Qingtong’s lower garment turning red and felt a sudden dread. He pulled Shen Yuqing away, throwing him aside, and embraced Gu Qingtong as she gradually collapsed: “Quick, someone come!”
“Save, save…” Old Master Jiang trembled, hesitating: That was Shang Heng’s child, his grandson, how could he bear to let go, but how could he let Gu Qingtong sacrifice herself.
“Master, decide quickly, or we can’t save anyone!” One of the midwives shouted inside.
“Save the child!”
