Fetal Movement of Evil Spirit

"The fetal movement is intense. She truly is about to give birth; this cannot be delayed any longer. What does Mister Ji think?"

Old Monk Moyun's words broke Ji Yuan's train of thought. Though the woman on the bed had suffered less pain after Ji Yuan sealed her acupoints with a distant gesture, cold sweat still poured from her. This truly was no time for further deliberation, much less for dealing the fetus a ruthless blow.

But even if Madam Li was about to give birth, and even with Ji Yuan and Monk Moyun here, neither of them could make the child emerge with a mere wave of the hand. Especially this one in Madam Li's womb—it would be more appropriate for it to be born in a natural manner. Even Madam Li herself could not be overly stimulated with spells.

Outside the house, thanks to Old Monk Moyun's methods, Li Ping, Old Madam Li, and the others waiting outside had not heard the woman's screams from within. They still did not know what was happening, and did not even dare peek through the half-open door, afraid of angering the Imperial Advisor and Ji Yuan.

Just as everyone was curious about the situation inside, the maid within suddenly flung open the door with a bang and rushed out.

"Master, Old Madam, Madam is about to give birth! Mister Ji and the Imperial Advisor told you to fetch the midwife!"

Before Li Ping could speak, an old woman standing amid the servants waved her hand.

"Yes, yes, I'm here! The midwife is here!"

Ever since more than a year ago, whenever Madam Li's condition worsened, this old woman had been summoned to the Li family. Often, she would remain for several days, all for the possibility of that one unforeseen eventuality.
