Chapter 139

When Xiao Chenyuan returned to the Southern Region King's Manor, the moon was already hanging high in the sky.

Upon seeing him, the Seventh King hurried forward. "Ah Yuan, you're finally back! You must help your Seventh Uncle this time!"

Xiao Chenyuan nodded. On the way back, he had already heard about Gu Lingyue going into labor, but the events that followed left him unable to offer any words of congratulations.

"How is Seventh Aunt?" he asked.

The Seventh King gave a bitter smile. "Your consort said she expended too much energy during labor and is now unconscious. She'll likely only will wake up by tomorrow."

He had wanted to stay by his wife's side, but as soon as the two newborns were fed a little milk by the wet nurse, they were taken away by QingWu.
