Examine Xie Zhaozhao.

"Madam, rest assured, everything is as predicted, the baby is healthy."

Xie Zhaozhao finally felt relieved and, without thinking about how Aunt Chai had gotten in, focused on cooperating with her.

She touched Xie Zhaozhao's stomach a few times, pressed it, and said, "Push!"

It felt as if countless blazing daggers were piercing his abdomen.

That excruciating pain spread rapidly throughout my body like wildfire, and every inch of my skin was subjected to unbearable torment.

"Madam, push harder!"

...

On the first day of the ninth month of the thirty-third year of the Great Gan era, at midnight, Xie Zhaozhao was overjoyed to give birth to a son!

Aunt Chai was so happy that her eyebrows curved into crescent moons, and she took the child to Xie Zhaozhao to see.

"Madam, it's a young master!"

The child's eyes were open unconsciously, his face was wrinkled, his skin was red, and his limbs looked thin and dry.

It's not very good-looking!

Aunt Chai quickly wrapped the child in swaddling clothes and whispered in her ear, "Madam, don't worry."

Quickly, they took out an infant's body from another bundle and handed it to Fang Xiao.

She called for the baby to stick his face against Xie Zhaozhao's, and in a flash, Aunt Chai disappeared with the child in her arms.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't see clearly, but she felt that there must have been several shadows helping Aunt Chai go out.

She fell into a coma.

A moment later, panic filled the Wenhui Hall.

The two midwives were woken up by a series of slaps.

She opened her eyes and saw Fang Xiao pulling at them forcefully. She angrily said, "What's wrong with you? You're asleep at such a crucial time?"

The two midwives were terrified and shivered. Damn it, they were so sleepy last night that they actually dozed off.

Hurry to see Xie Zhaozhao, only to find that the matriarch of the Grand Secretary had already fainted, and Fang Xiao had already "cut the umbilical cord" for the child.

Fang Xiao held the child in her arms and washed him with warm water. The child didn't move, so she patted his bottom. He didn't cry.

The two midwives sensed something was wrong and came over to check.

Upon seeing this, they were terrified.
