at. Yesterday, the big bug and the bear fought, and the bear was killed by the big bug. But the big bug was also injured because of it. That’s why it went out to seek help.”"Help" Dong'er felt like hi......An Xue Tang looked at the scar and felt it was rather strange for some reason. ...

She knew that some children are born with birthmarks, but ordinary birthmarks are usually red or black patches. But this child's face was scarred.

It's very much like a scar that forms after a long recovery from being cut with a knife.

So now whenever they see this scar, it strikes them as quite strange.

And most oddly, as soon as her hand touched the child's scar, the child would cry, but the moment her hand moved away, the child's crying would cease immediately.

How does a baby, barely a minute old, manage to do that

This not only made An Xue Tang curious, but everyone present also found it unbelievable.

The midwife's face turned as white as a sheet, her eyes staring at the child as if it were a monster.

She believed in ghosts and spirits anyway, this child's appearance was terrifying, and he wasn't allowed to be touched by the Princess of Beijiang... this... this was practically a 'ghost child'.

To think that the child is most likely the so-called 'ghost child', a child who comes to take revenge on humans, a child who can't be touched or even looked at, otherwise you will suffer bad luck for the rest of your life.

The midwife stared in horror at the child in Shou'er's arms, then glanced down at her own hands. It was over...it was all over now. She had already touched this 'ghost child'.

What will she do next Will she get into big trouble

Thinking about this and that, the midwife's thoughts became instantly muddled, her hands trembling slightly.

Right at that moment, she saw the bold North Border Princess daring to reach out and touch the "ghost child" again. She was startled and instinctively shouted, "Your Highness, no...don't!"

"...."

So quiet was the room, that the midwife's voice seemed to come out of nowhere. It was shrill and thin, grating on the ears, utterly unpleasant.

An Xuetang's hand paused in mid-air and slowly turned her head to look at the midwife.

Her eyes were sharp, and the midwife was so frightened by her gaze that she fell to her knees with a thud, begging for mercy in a choked voice:

"Your Highness... Your Highness please calm down, it's just this child...this child she is extremely unlucky, your highness must not touch her, absolutely not!"

"!"

Unlucky

The midwife's nonsensical words left everyone momentarily stunned.

"At this point, fearing that the Northern Border Princess would blame herself, the midwife continued to explain: 'Your Highness might not know, a child taken from the womb by surgery is inherently unlucky.'"

"This child still has such a terrifying scar on his face, this… that's the legendary ghost child, don't touch it, absolutely do not touch it."

An Xuetang knew that most people were superstitious at this time. She raised her eyebrows slightly, slowly withdrew her hand, and asked, "What is a 'ghost child'"

"Ghost children... Ghost children are sent by the Lord of Hell to harm mortals. They are born to bring disaster and kill more people."

“......”

An Xuetang was speechless. So this is why people in the world would kill babies born with birthmarks

Seeing that the Princess Consort of Beijang looked unconvinced, the midwife became even more anxious. She certainly didn't want anything to happen to the Princess Consort, after all, she was still living in the Beijang Royal Manor.

She was very clear that if the Princess of Beijiang or the child in the Princess's womb suffered any loss, she would be unable to leave the palace alive.

As a highly respected midwife in the capital, she had dealt with many prominent families over the years.

For these elites, if things don't go their way, they will lash out at these insignificant commoners.

To take their lives would be child's play.

So, for the sake of the Princess of Beijang, and for her own life, she must warn the Princess of Beijang and stop her from continuing to touch the 'ghost child'.

Seeing that the princess still didn't believe her, she couldn't care less about anything else. Pointing at the person lying on the bed:

"Your Majesty, look... this is the revenge of the ghost child. She killed her own mother as soon as she was born. Anyone who touches her will suffer terrible misfortune. Your Majesty, please think carefully before you act!"

"……"

The midwife's words left everyone speechless. It turned out she thought Fu’er, who was lying on the bed at that moment, had died.

An Xuetang followed her finger's direction and looked, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

In this day and age, medical technology is still very backward. When a woman experiences dystocia and faints, she may be mistakenly identified as dead and buried alive.

By the time they woke up, they were already in coffins. At that point, their cries for help went unanswered, both heaven and earth ignored them. All they could do was claw at the coffin with their bare hands, eventually suffocating to death inside, meeting a truly gruesome end.

Thinking about this, An Xuetang was also helpless. After all, to change these things, it wasn't something she could accomplish with her own strength, nor was it something that could be achieved overnight.

So she just shook her head slightly, helplessly saying, "The person in bed is not dead."

"Having said that, she suddenly grew serious. "But what happened today, once you leave this door, you can forget it. Do you understand my meaning"

The midwife was a shrewd woman, she could hear the threat in the Northern Border Princess's words – she had to forget everything she had seen today.

And from the meaning of "princess," she could also hear that the princess was preparing to let her go.

She immediately disregarded everything else and hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."

At this moment, An Xuetang looked at Ning'er, who immediately understood and led the midwife and doctor out.

When only a few of them were left in the room, An Xue Tang finally turned her gaze back to the child in Shou'er's arms.

She looked thoughtfully at the scar on her child's face and reached out again.

But Shou'er silently moved the child away, preventing An Xue Tang from touching it.

An Xuetang: "..."

She blinked, looking at Shou'er with confusion.

Then I saw Shou'er purse her lips, her expression extremely unnatural. "Your Highness, perhaps... you shouldn't touch this child"

Although she found the midwife's words unbelievable, some things were better to believe in than not.

An Xuetang chuckled, "Alright, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just bring the child over so I can see what's going on with the scar on her face."

Her tone was very firm, and Shou'er subconsciously looked at Ning'er.

Actually, Ning'er and Shou'er have the same idea. Sometimes, it's better to believe that something exists than not to believe it.

But seeing their princesses like this at this moment, I'm afraid no matter how they persuade her today, the princess will still personally check on this child.

Thinking about this, Ning'er could only nod slightly.

Shou'er only then brought the child to An Xue Tang.

An Xuetang looked at the child who didn't seem quite right, her brow furrowed slightly. The child weighed less than four pounds and was extremely small, severely malnourished.

Besides that terrifying scar on her face, her little mouth was now pursed together. It was clear she was trying hard.

After a moment of contemplation, An Xue Tang's hand once again fell upon the child's scar on his face.

But just then, the child suddenly opened their eyes!m an ordinary family. When he grew up, he would have...As soon as she thought of this, An Xue Tang only felt a strange tightness in her chest, a sense of inexplicable oppression."An Xuetang, what's wr...
