The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 415 - 414: Surprise or Shock

Chapter 415: Chapter 414: Surprise or Shock

Qu Tong awoke once again, three days later, as expected.

Rong Yueqing handed her a cup of water, "Sister Ali, have some warm water first."

"Thank you," Qu Tong took it, "Where are we now?"

"This is a larger inhabited planet on the border of Casa..." Rong Yueqing patiently recounted to Qu Tong what had happened over the past three days.

Rong Yueqing was still very reliable. Heeding her earlier instructions, she had not allowed the hospital to draw her blood.

"Congratulations, Sister Ali, it’s a girl, and she’s already 93 days along. All her values are healthy," Rong Yueqing genuinely rejoiced for Qu Tong. Natural conception was always a happy event anywhere.

"A girl?"

Qu Tong touched her belly, which was still quite flat, likely due to her thin figure, showing no signs of pregnancy.

"Yes," Rong Yueqing nodded.

Gender detection was permitted in the Interstellar.

When reproduction was an issue, no one would choose genders any longer.

There was no preference for male over female, nor would a female fetus be aborted just because of its gender. Other than nationally authorized hospitals, there weren’t even services for abortion.

Those who provided abortion services privately could have their medical license revoked at the least, and the more serious cases could land them in prison indefinitely.

"Your daughter, Sister Ali, will surely be as impressive as you. Naturally conceived babies have a high likelihood of inheriting their mother’s excellent genes," Rong Yueqing said enviously, sitting by Qu Tong’s bedside.

The two chatted for a while when a knock sounded from the door.

"I’ll open it," Rong Yueqing stood up to answer the door.

For safety reasons, Rong Yueqing had locked the door when she came in.

Qu Tong looked towards the door, surprised to see Rong Chengjue entering.

"How come you are here? Shouldn’t you be at the coronation ceremony?"

Qu Tong glanced at Rong Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing blinked at her softly: [He doesn’t know.]

Qu Tong nodded slightly and looked away, her hand also silently moving away from her belly.

"It has been postponed," Rong Chengjue glanced at Rong Yueqing, "She has been watching over you, refusing to leave. How could the ceremony proceed without the only princess present?"

Qu Tong was stunned.

Was it really so brutal? The Royal Family had been reduced to Rong Yueqing as the sole princess.

It was fortunate she and Rong Chengjue were not enemies; otherwise, things could get quite troublesome.

Rong Chengjue might not be the strongest, but he was ruthless and cunning.

Moreover, such a significant event being postponed so easily, wouldn’t others seize the opportunity to impeach him?

Qu Tong looked apologetically at Rong Yueqing, "I’m sorry, I’ve held you up."

"Not at all, Sister Ali, please don’t say that. I am very happy to help you after all you’ve done for me," Rong Yueqing said quietly, then shot Rong Chengjue a glare.

Using her as an excuse again, when it was clearly him who sought her out.

Rong Chengjue completely ignored it, his sober gaze settled on Qu Tong.

Indeed, he had come specifically for her.

The team he had sent to escort Rong Yueqing had already returned without her. She had only sent back a communication confirming her safety.

Learning that she was with Qu Tong, staying on a remote inhabited star for the past two days, he grew worried that something had happened, and came to check.

Postponing the ceremony was also a move he had made on the fly, as the ceremony would have been sabotaged if it had gone ahead as planned.

"Didn’t you bring the entry card I gave you?" Rong Chengjue suddenly asked, catching Qu Tong a bit off guard.

"There was an accident; I didn’t bring the Space Button. Is there a problem?"

Right now, she had nothing on her but a Light Brain.

```

But she had already bound her entry card to her Light Brain in advance, otherwise, even with Rong Yueqing accompanying her, entry into the Casa Empire wouldn’t have been direct.

Rong Chengjue’s eyes flickered. "It’s fine."

No wonder she only received the entry notification, but couldn’t check the approximate location.

He was able to find her, but only after threatening Rong Yueqing.

Qu Tong’s body had recovered very well; as long as her spiritual power was restored, there would be no problems at all, and the baby was also very stable.

Rong Yueqing invited her to go to the Imperial City of the Casa Empire; Qu Tong thought since she was already there, she might as well agree.

That afternoon, they took a special warplane, escorted by the local army. The show of force was not small as they returned to the Imperial City.

On the aircraft, Rong Yueqing pulled down a soundproof panel and handed over a childbirth manual, blinking her eyes, "I got it from the nurse’s station; my brothers don’t know."

Qu Tong took it, smiling, "Thank you."

"From now on, the baby needs a health check every month. Sister Ali, does... does the War God know about this?" Rong Yueqing cautiously observed Qu Tong, speaking tentatively.

Qu Tong, flipping through the childbirth manual, hadn’t noticed Rong Yueqing’s expression and shook her head at the question, "He doesn’t know yet."

Rong Yueqing’s peach blossom eyes widened, as if she had stumbled upon some incredible secret.

It took a while before she found her voice again.

"This... that... I’ll keep your secret," she stammered.

"Mhm." Qu Tong trusted Rong Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing was silent for a while, and when Qu Tong looked up, she noticed something off about Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing’s beautiful peach blossom eyes were still gently swirling with warmth but now darted around evasively, looking hesitant and flustered.

Qu Tong, seeing how cute Rong Yueqing looked, instantly grasped the misunderstanding.

She flicked Rong Yueqing’s forehead with her finger, chuckling, "It’s not what you think; the child is Si Yuting’s."

Since Rong Yueqing already knew, there was no harm in clarifying this point.

She couldn’t let people think she was putting a green hat on her child’s father.

"Ah?" Rong Yueqing was even more surprised, "Isn’t the War God lacking in fertility value?"

"I don’t know, it could have been a mistake," Qu Tong shook her head, providing a plausible excuse.

Si Yuting had not had a chance to return to Abel Star for a health check, and she did not know what his condition was.

Was it a change in Si Yuting’s fertility value, or was it due to her own unique physique?

She was curious as well.

"Then the War God will be very happy when he finds out," said Rong Yueqing, who was surprised but didn’t doubt Qu Tong’s words.

Qu Tong subconsciously placed her hand on her abdomen, her mind wandering a bit.

Inside, a new life was stirring, giving her a wonderful sensation.

Qu Tong suppressed the urge to send a message to Si Yuting.

She decided to wait a few more days until she was back, and then tell him the surprise in person.

Or it might be a shock.

Qu Tong thought, her lips curving into an unconscious smile.

Rong Yueqing nearly gaped at her from the side.

*

Rong Chengjue’s coronation ceremony was only postponed by two days, and the officials who had emerged were dealt with by Rong Chengjue’s people without dragging their feet.

Qu Tong, following Rong Yueqing, moved into the largest palace in the Imperial City, as a friend of the princess and alchemist.

Rong Yueqing didn’t need to get involved in the palace and political intrigues; Rong Chengjue could handle them on his own with a clean sweep.

Qu Tong spent her days teaching Rong Yueqing how to mix elixirs. Even though the elixirs she made were hard to swallow, her theoretical knowledge was still intact.

Rong Yueqing, now an Intermediate Alchemist, had a talent not inferior in the least to Lan Weiying.

She would teach her for now, and when the next term starts, Old Head Yuan would deepen the knowledge. Rong Yueqing also had a good chance of breaking through to become a Senior Alchemist within two years.
