She looked at Lord Yan, whose eyes were filled with hope. He believed that his child could be rescued.

Gu Chaoyan held her breath and looked at the woman lying in bed, then she looked at the imperial doctor. She said with a small voice, a little cold even. "Doctor, can this child be saved?"

"It should work, but the Princess Consort has to work on it," the imperial doctor said calmly.

Gu Chaoyan had a very serious look on her face. She threw a very calm look at the imperial doctor.

He was ridiculous!

How could he tell such lies at Lord Yan's Mansion! He was the imperial doctor who should have gotten his certificate from the Imperial Hospital. He might not be the best, but he could tell what was going on right here. So he must have done it on purpose! He must be working for Zhou Huailing!

Unexpectedly… Zhou Huailing had started to do such a ridiculous thing right in front of everyone!

Lord Yan's eyes were sparkling when he heard that all he needed to do was to let his wife work on it.

Gu Chaoyan took a step forward and pushed away the imperial doctor. As he staggered backwards and almost tripped over Gu Chaoyan went to take the child in her arms.

Lord Yan had a very joyful look on his face seeing the child. He was about to take the child in his arms, and said, "He is out now?"

Gu Chaoyan had a very saddened look on her face, seeing Lord Yan reaching out for the child. She sounded quite stifled. "Lord Yan, there is no need to hold him. He is gone, and the midwife should take it over from here."

"What?" Lord Yan asked.

It was very quiet in the room.

There was no sound, not even the child's cry. The child was very quiet.

Gu Chaoyan gave the child to the midwife, took out the silver needle and stopped the Princess Consort's bleeding. Then she fed her a pill to keep her alive.

Gu Chaoyan did not allow the imperial doctor to get involved again. Instead, she called Li Qing to her side and let the midwife and him deal with what was going on in the room.

She glanced at Lord Yan before she left the room. The Princess Consort had no expression on her face when she heard that the child was gone.

Gu Chaoyan left, after the glance.

Lord Yan was pressed down by his guards, while the midwife was dealing with the child, and Li Qing was taking care of the Princess Consort.

It was all settled.

The dawn had just broken yet Gu Chaoyan felt both physically and mentally exhausted.

She felt sorry for Lord Yan, who grew up at the border and had lost all of his ambition. What he expected was to live a good life and start a family of his own, but…

He could not even realize such a simple wish.

Zhou Huaijin whispered to her as he was walking by her side. "It is my fault. I should have gotten some more hidden guards ready. I thought that the hidden guards were well-trained enough to keep their eyes out for Princess Consort, but something else happened on the way here. It is my fault that I did not get everything to go well."

"…"

"I don't think Elder Brother will be able to accept the news within a short while."

"…"

"I am not sure if my father is trying to have him killed or to protect him when he asked him to return to the capital."

"…"

"If he were still at the border he would not have suffered this much."

"It is not your fault. Your hidden guards would not even figure this out," Gu Chaoyan said with distress.

"What? Chaoyan, what have you noticed?" Zhou Huaijin asked.
