Chapter 870: People Who Lost Their Minds Because of Love
Jing Chunxi's tone intensified, his voice filled with unquestionable determination. "This is a real operation! Daddy, can you hold a scalpel? Do you know how to cut open the abdomen without damaging the insides? Do you know how to stop the bleeding, how to remove the fetus, and how to sew it up precisely layer by layer?"
"Xi'er can! Even if Brother Xiaokang knew all the steps, he could only assist me."
She told him in detail and without interruption what they had already discussed about the fairy aunt's personal teachings in the dream. She explained each step clearly and calmly, and deliberately portrayed the expertise and difficulty involved.
"Do... do you need to use a knife? Cut it open alive? And... sew it back together... like sewing clothes?" After hearing this, Xu Dingchun's face turned pale as paper, and he was completely stunned as if he was struck by thunder.
A huge sense of fear and powerlessness instantly gripped him. He suddenly grabbed his hair with both hands and pulled it fiercely, as if he wanted to use the physical pain to cover up the tearing in his heart.
"It's my fault! I shouldn't have had this child in the first place! I told you a thousand times not to have it! You can't have it! But your mother just wouldn't listen...just wouldn't listen...so what if we don't have a child?"
As he spoke, his emotions completely lost control. He raised his fist and hit his forehead hard, making a dull sound.
Jing Chunxi was anxious and angry. He stepped forward and clenched his fist, hitting him on the shoulder lightly. "Dad! What's the point of regretting and blaming yourself now? The fairy aunt has already appeared in my dream, saying that mother will be safe and sound! Do you want to save her? Do you want to believe her words?"
"Save! Why not save!" Xu Dingchun raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, and answered almost shouting, his voice hoarse but extremely firm.
"Go tell the Fairy Aunt! No matter what, save the eldest! You must save the eldest! The little one... the little one can be left alone!" Hearing these familiar yet extreme words, Jing Chunxi was so angry that his chest felt stuffy.
She should have expected that in a desperate situation, he would definitely make the decision of "saving the big and not the small" again.
"The divine aunt is so compassionate that she has already taught us the method of achieving both! Since she has magical powers, she can naturally protect mother and my brothers and sisters!"
Jing Chunxi said firmly, trying to instill strong confidence, "Dad, the most important thing for you right now is to calm down, steady your mind, and wait outside to hold your child."
"But no matter what happens, no matter what noises you hear inside, no matter how worried you are, you must guard the door and never let anyone break into that room! This is the most important thing!"
"I know... I know." Xu Dingchun seemed to be infected by the determination and confidence in his daughter's words. He took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, tried to straighten his seven-foot-tall back, and slightly tidied up his messy hair.
Although there were still traces of blood in her eyes, she once again radiated a resolute determination. "I will go and dismiss all the servants in the room and just say that I received instructions from the fairy aunt."
"Just say that from today on, your mother will be taken care of by Xi'er and I. We will personally pray for her and let her rest, and no one is allowed to disturb her. You guys... hurry up and get ready to go in."
"No, Uncle San can't be alone outside. Someone has to serve tea and water and take out the trash."
"You can't just sit there and wait on someone without food or drink. Should we get Xiao Man in? I'll leave Qing Feng to Uncle San."
He was a man who usually remained calm in times of crisis, but now he was acting so chaotically that it made people worried. The two of them couldn't help but help him make plans.
"No need for Qingfeng. We can't let him know that His Highness is in there. I'll ask Xiaoman to call Chongsan over. Everything can be solved."
After being reminded, Prince Xu Dingchun finally became much more clear-headed and quickly turned around to give orders.
The two of them felt relieved.
"The young lady is back. This old servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Aunt Mi's deliberately raised voice came from outside the door. The voice sounded like an ordinary announcement, but it also cleverly conveyed the message to the people inside the house.
Jin Jie'er, who was lying on the edge of the bed, and Mingzhu, who was sitting on a small stool, immediately exchanged glances and both curled their lips at the same time.
"What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He has to be inseparable from my sister!" Sister Jin lowered her voice and complained angrily, her little hands unconsciously pulling at the tassels hanging from the bed curtains.
When she thought of the noble prince who always monopolized her sister, she felt an indescribable grievance and dissatisfaction in her heart.
"Your Highness always bullies Sister Xi, and I don't like it." Mingzhu also echoed in a low voice, and a rare look of reluctance appeared on her usually quiet and beautiful face.
Although the two little girls, one lively and the other quiet, were united in their hatred of the enemy and were very annoyed by the arrival of the uninvited guest.
They all looked at their aunt who was resting with her eyes closed on the bed. Seeing that she was still drowsy and listless, they swallowed back the complaints that were on the tip of their tongues and just stood by her side more attentively, their eyes full of concern for their elders.
"Let them in." Jing Qiurong forced herself to cheer up and gave orders towards the door. As she spoke, she struggled to sit up.
Qingyi, who had been standing by her side, stepped forward immediately, but did not help her up as instructed. Instead, she gently placed another soft pillow behind her neck and said in a gentle voice, "Madam, you are in poor health. The prince has specifically instructed you to do so. The most important thing for you now is to rest and recuperate. There is really no need to be so obsessed with these empty formalities."
"How can that be..." Jing Qiurong's voice was weak, but still full of persistence.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the sound of hurried but brisk footsteps.
Jing Chunxi was obviously two steps faster than Xu Zize. He entered the door first and reached the bedside almost instantly.
She reached out her hand, gently but firmly holding down her mother as she tried to get up, her tone filled with undeniable care: "Why is it that you can't do it? Mother's health is the most important thing. Just lie still and don't move."
She paused, glanced back at Xu Zize who was walking in calmly, a smile curved up at the corner of her lips, and added: "Besides, there are no outsiders here."
These words clearly pleased Xu Zize, who entered the room shortly afterwards. He didn't glance at the bed first, but bowed gracefully, his voice clear and gentle: "Xiaokang greets the Crown Prince's wife."
"Oh! What is your Highness doing? You are so polite."
Seeing this, Jing Qiurong could no longer lie down peacefully. She forced herself to stay alert, forced a smile on her face, and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please stop calling me that. Just call me aunt as before. Please sit down, please sit down."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Jin Jie'er and Mingzhu, who were trying to minimize their presence. "What are you two still standing there for? Go out and get someone to make tea for His Highness!"
The two little ones were secretly muttering that this prince had snatched their sister away, but when they were suddenly called, they had no choice but to bow again reluctantly, and their movements seemed a little slower than usual.
Just as I was thinking of taking this opportunity to slip away, I heard Jing Chunxi's voice.
