Traces of national mourning can be seen everywhere in the city. White lanterns are hung on the doors of every household. People are wearing plain clothes and vegetarian clothes to celebrate the New Year.

Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao also changed into plain clothes. Their carriage stopped in front of the Chu Palace.

Jiang Yu handed over the post to the guard guarding the palace gate. A guard read the post and ran in to report it.

Qiu Zijun sat upright at the mourning hall to keep a spirit for his father. His brothers also knelt aside; his son Liu Wu was burning paper money for his grandfather.

After entering the mourning hall, the inner court chief came to Qiu Zijun and whispered for a moment.

"Please come here!"

Qiu Zijun heard that Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao were coming, and his sad mood improved a little.

Bo Langjun took Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu to the mourning hall to respectfully worship the late Chu king.

After worship, Qiuzijun took them to the temple where he lived.

When Mrs. Chu saw Luo Jiaojiao coming, her joy was beyond words. Seeing that Ji Lian'er's body seemed to be about to give birth, Luo Jiaojiao asked her if she was about to give birth?

Ji Lianer shyly told Luo Jiaojiao that it has been a few days since she gave birth!

Bo Langjun and Qiuzijun sat at the tea table and drank tea.

They suddenly saw Ji Lianer covering her abdomen and showing pain.

"Travel the Imperial Doctor!"

Qiuzijun was in a state of danger. While he ordered the guards to pass on the imperial physician, he walked to Ji Lian'er and picked her up.

Luo Jiaojiao was frightened by this sudden situation. She followed Qiu Zijun, who was holding Ji Lian'er, into the inner room.

Ji Lian'er endured the severe pain and said in Qiu Zijun's arms that she was fine.

Qiu Zijun put Ji Lian'er, whose face was red from the pain, on the bed with heartache.

The imperial physician rushed over. He took Ji Lian'er's pulse and told Qiu Zijun after seeing the doctor: "My wife has a fetal aura, and she is afraid she will be about to give birth!"

Qiu Zijun then sent a message to the midwife to the palace. Unexpectedly, the midwife still came to the palace and Ji Lian'er was about to give birth!
