Chapter 187: Rescue

Chapter 187

Because her spiritual power was flowing away in large quantities, the direction of disappearance of spiritual power was her womb.

Therefore, she had to spend a lot of time and energy practicing in the spirit world every day, consuming spirit crystals without hesitation. In order to provide enough spiritual power for the child in her belly.

On the third day after the palace examination, the results of this imperial examination came out. Jiang Yuhai's three elder brothers were all on the list.

The fourth elder brother Jiang Yuhai ranked 26th in the second class, the fifth elder brother Jiang Yuming ranked 17th in the second class, and the sixth elder brother Jiang Yushan's ranking was slightly worse, 89th in the second class.

So far, the Jiang Guogong Mansion has produced six jinshi in one family, which can be called unprecedented in history. For a while, it became a good story in the court.

On such a great joyous occasion, if it were other mansions, they would definitely hold banquets and celebrate extravagantly. But the Jiang Guogong Mansion was very low-key, and only celebrated with a few tables of wine among their own family members.

The Jiang Guogong Mansion was already magnificent, and there was no need to add fuel to the fire. The greater the pride, the greater the fall. It is always harmless to be more low-key, to avoid others taking this opportunity to make trouble and attack the Jiang Guogong Mansion and the Empress.

The Jiang family's behavior was seen by the Retired Emperor. He said, "This Jiang Wenyuan is too cautious." Although he said so, he was still quite appreciative in his heart.

Such a person is not confused by wealth and rank, and knows his place. He is reliable for the royal family to use, and the common people also feel at ease with such an official.

In May, the court dispatched officials.

Jiang Yuhai was dispatched to the Eastern Ocean North Prefecture, Jiang Yuming was dispatched to the Tubo Prefecture, and Jiang Yushan was dispatched to the Lidong Prefecture. They were sent far and wide.

These places had all newly incorporated into the territory of Great Xia. Although they were somewhat backward and complicated, as long as one was willing to work hard, they were also the easiest places to accomplish things.

With Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Yuqing, the two pillars in the Jiang family, no one could take away their achievements.

It was just that Jiang Yushan, the sixth son, was not married yet, and the family had to worry about it a little. But he himself was not in a hurry to get married, so the family’s urgency was futile. They had to let him go with the flow.

After sending off the elder brothers and sisters-in-law, the Jiang Guogong Mansion suddenly became much emptier, and the elders were somewhat reluctant. But for officials to serve the court, this was a good thing, and of course the elders could not delay the future of the children.

Moreover, the young eagles had to learn to fly on their own after growing up.

Jiang Yuqing was pregnant for over four months, her belly was already obviously bulging, round like an overturned small pot.

She was completely unaware of being pregnant. Every day she would roam around the capital with her big belly. Jing Yan still had no way to deal with her.

He didn’t need to worry about safety issues. With his wife’s current ability, someone who could hurt her probably hadn’t been born yet.

Pregnant cultivators had an advantage. Most other pregnant women were tortured by pregnancy reactions. Except for the daily increasing consumption of spiritual power, she ate wonderfully and slept until daylight without any discomfort at all.

Such a physique made Mingyang Princess very envious.

When she first became pregnant, she would throw up at anything she ate. At its worst, she even threw up bile. She felt dizzy all day long and just wanted to sleep when she had no energy. She was really tortured.

When she felt unwell, her son-in-law was also anxious and attentive to her needs. After the fetus in her belly reached three months and she was finally able to eat something, her son-in-law had actually lost a circle.

Even so, she only dared to walk around in her own princess residence. She occasionally went to the palace to visit Jiang Yuqing. She hadn’t been to Tai’an Farm at all.

On the other hand, Jiang Yuqing went to the hospital every day she should go to the hospital. After returning to the palace, she would still wave her hoe in the Imperial Garden to dig everywhere and plant things.

It was said that the vegetables and fruits in the palace had now become completely self-sufficient and no longer needed to purchase from outside. Jiang Yuqing had sent some to her, and they tasted wonderful.

Jiang Yuqing directly made him unconscious with spiritual power, then placed the severed arm back in its original position against the cut, and asked Doctor Qiu and Tian Shanglu to hold it steady, not moving a bit.

Jing Yan was on the side to protect her, ready to provide spiritual support at any time if necessary.

Jiang Yuqing started chanting. Green glow wrapped around the wound, slowly repairing it bit by bit.

Tian Shanglu had long known that although his uncle master was very powerful, he still didn’t expect it would be to such an extent. He was so shocked that he opened his big mouth wide enough to hold an egg, and almost wiped the mask on his face below his nose.

Fortunately, he still remembered that this was an operating room. No matter how shocked he was, the hand holding the severed arm did not shake at all. Overall, his psychological endurance was pretty good.

Jiang Yuqing gave him an appreciative look, so the boy straightened his chest proudly.

Repairing the broken arm required a large amount of spiritual power, and the rapid loss of spiritual power caused the fetus in her belly to become restless. In just over a quarter hour, her abdomen began to ache and convulse, with cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

Jing Yan noticed the situation was not good and quickly came over to hold her hand, sending her spiritual power and signaling her to stop.

Jiang Yuqing also felt overexerted and had to pause the repairs, withdrawing her hands.

Jing Yan immediately carried her over to a nearby chair and had her sit down with her legs crossed. He stuffed two spirit crystals into each of her hands for her to urgently absorb.

Only when both spirit crystals were fully absorbed did she recover somewhat.

She gently patted the fetus in her belly, "Baby, you have to be good. Mama needs to save someone." Then she continued with the task at hand.

She worked in such starts and stops, continuing for a total of an hour and a half. Finally, the victim's arm was restored as if it had never been completely severed.

By now, Jiang Yuqing had reached her limit of endurance. Her whole body seemed as if she had just been fished out of the water, with a ghastly pale complexion. Doctor Qiu said she needed to return and rest immediately, leaving the follow-up matters to him.

Jing Yan nodded to Doctor Qiu, then stuffed two more spirit crystals into Jiang Yuqing's hands. After she absorbed them, he carried her directly back to the palace.

As soon as they returned to the palace, Jing Yan ordered the imperial guards to surround the bedchamber. No one was allowed to trespass before he came out again, not even the Retired Emperor himself.

After that, the couple entered the spirit realm and remained inside for a full day before finally recovering.

She was now over five months pregnant, and the fetus' movements were increasingly frequent. Jing Yan had not yet built his foundation, so his spiritual sense could not penetrate her belly to see the fetus.

Therefore, much of the time he would press his ear against her abdomen to listen for sounds from within and talk to him/her.

Or if the baby was active, he would also place his hand on her belly to play with the little one inside. It's fair to say he was extremely tender.

Jiang Yuqing had been wanting to know the gender of the baby, but the little one seemed intentionally guarding the secret like it didn't want the gender pried into.

Even when Doctor Qiu took her pulse, he could not make out if it was male or female.

Jiang Yuqing had also tried using her spiritual sense for internal viewing, but alas, the baby was wrapped in a thick cocoon of spiritual energy that completely prevented seeing inside.

Dissatisfied by this, Jiang Yuqing complained, "If you don't let me see then I won't look, but when you're born you'll be naked anyway and Mama will still know if you're a boy or girl. Hmph!"

In response, the little one delivered a forceful kick against her belly!

Hey, what a bad little temper!
