Chapter 420

The hall fell into sudden silence, and the people around them who were eating porridge forgot to eat for a moment, as they exchanged glances with different expressions and finally looked at the second prince Gu Jing.

Gu Jing: “!!!”

Gu Jing was about to jump up, almost blurting out to ask the imperial physician what he was talking about, but ultimately, he restrained himself.

Meanwhile, Consort Liu was overjoyed, she hadn’t mentioned having a child and yet now the child was here.

She felt that this winter solstice was really a blessing from heavens, and put her palms together as she recited to Buddha before she said pleasantly to Empress Dowager Liu. “Imperial Mother, this consort thinks that the child in Qin Xin’s womb is a blessing. It’s a great blessing to have four generations under one roof.”

Turns out, it was not bad luck; it was good luck. Empress Dowager Liu also had a happy expression on her face, which was evident in her eyebrows and eyes.

Although the child in Qin Xin’s womb was born to a commoner, it was at least the first child of this generation. As Consort Liu said, having four generations together was a great blessing.

Only Gu Jing’s face was livid and extremely ugly. He hesitated to speak but did not say a word at the end.

Everyone thought that Gu Jing was worried about Qin Xin’s body, only Qin Jiu could see something amiss.

Qin Jiu stroked the cat’s fur with raised eyebrows full of interest as she thought to herself: Ai, the second prince doesn’t seem very happy, shouldn’t this be a big happy event?

Was Gu Jing a DINK*?

(*family voluntarily choose not to have children)

Qin Jiu accidentally started to run her imagination wild, and the cat on her lap began to purr in ecstasy.

Empress Dowager Liu was in a much better mood and smiled as she said to Gu Jing, “A’jing, go and see Qin Xin.”

“Ah ......” Qin Xin couldn’t catch her breath as her hands tried hard to break his fingers, but it was like his hands were made of cast iron, she couldn’t break them at all.

Her neck was pinched tightly and she could not make a sound, making her breathing increasingly difficult. She could only struggle to kick Gu Jing with her feet.

Gu Jing was a person who practiced martial arts, this strength of Qin Xin was just like a child to him, not worth mentioning at all as he easily avoided Qin Xin’s kicks.

Die! Gu Jing only had this one thought in his mind as his handsome features became ferocious.

Qin Xin struggled harder, her elbow fighting to hit the teacup by the couch ......

“Bang!”

The teacup fell to the ground, producing a crisp and loud sound.

This sound naturally also reached the people outside, and a palace maid’s worried voice faintly came from outside the curtain, “Your Highness ......”

Gu Jing suddenly calmed down, his face still livid while his eyes dark and mad.

He let go and suppressed his anger, “It’s okay, I accidentally bumped into something, no need to come in.”

The palace maid outside the curtain respectfully answered and stopped talking, only vaguely hearing the sound of Empress Dowager Liu, and the others talking and laughing from the direction of the main hall.

The outside of the curtain was bustling, while the inside of the curtain was silent.

Qin Xin covered her neck, gasping heavily to breathe. Her pure white neck was adorned with blue and purple fingerprints, making it appear terrifying.

Qin Xin quickly recovered and looked at Gu Jing with a look of resentment in her eyes.
