Chapter 261 Only Ruan Ruan loves him and the children.

When Xie Shang arrived at Lan Yue Pavilion, Jiang Jinyan, Zhang Yumo, and others were waiting outside. He asked, "How is Ruan Ruan? I want to go in and see her."

Jiang Jinyan said, "My mother instructed that Your Highness should not go in, and that we should wait patiently. She also said that all women have to go through this, and that Your Highness should not worry."

Zhang Yumo also wanted to go in, but Jiang's mother stopped her. Jiang's father also stood guard to the side. He didn't seem to be in a hurry, knowing that his daughter would be safe and sound.

Xie Shang saw Jiang Jinyan trembling all over, his hands and feet even twitching uncontrollably.

He asked him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jinyan looked at Xie Shang, "I'm worried about Ruan Ruan. Hearing her cries of pain, my heart aches. Ruan Ruan has always been terrified of pain. I've heard that childbirth is the most painful and dangerous thing in the world." He was genuinely worried about Jiang Fenghua. No matter what, Ruan Ruan's life was the most important thing. The Jiang family could give up everything as long as Ruan Ruan lived.

Ruan Ruan also said that she would bring evidence to Xie Shang today to expose the Su family, but why is she suddenly going to have a baby? What should we do?

I just hope Ruan Ruan is safe and can give birth to her child smoothly.

Xie Shang knew that Jiang Fenghua was most afraid of pain. She could burst into tears if she twisted her ankle. She must be even more afraid of childbirth, which is so painful. Yet she was risking her life to give birth to his child. He was deeply moved.

Ye Susu got pregnant only to use the child to climb the social ladder, and Su Tingwan tried every means to have his child in order to use the child as a bargaining chip for her Su family. Their ugliness highlighted Ruan Ruan's nobility. Only Ruan Ruan loved him and the child.

Xie Shang suddenly pressed down on his shoulder to calm him down. "Ruan Ruan will be alright. She said she could endure anything for the sake of the child." However, his heart was pounding with tension. He couldn't live without Jiang Fenghua.

In fact, Feng Jingyuan's idea was very simple. It's not that men are taboo to enter the delivery room. Back then, Jiang Huai also entered her delivery room to accompany her during childbirth. After that, everything went smoothly for her, and she had no illnesses or disasters. Her children were healthy and happy.

However, Xie Shang was a prince, so when the news reached the ears of the emperor and empress, it was Ruan Ruan who was blamed, not her daughter.

Furthermore, letting him see the child's birth process might negatively impact Ruan Ruan's image.

Zhang Yumo isn't pregnant yet, and if she saw something terrifying, she might be too scared to have children.

At this moment, Jiang Fenghua's painful wails could be heard. She seemed to be gritting her teeth in agony. The midwife inside was telling her not to scream too loudly even if it hurt, so as to conserve her strength.

The people outside the door were on tenterhooks.

Jiang Fenghua's painful screams echoed in his ears. Xie Shang suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in. He saw a figure behind the screen in great pain, with midwives holding her hands and feet. Her long black hair was disheveled, and she seemed to be too weak from the pain. He said anxiously, "Ruan Ruan..."

At this moment, Jiang Fenghua was completely numb with pain and didn't care about him anymore.

Just then, Granny Wang came out from behind the screen and quickly pushed him outside the door, closing it behind her. "Your Highness, it's a big taboo for you to barge into the delivery room and see such a bloody scene. If the Empress finds out, she will punish the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is carrying twins, so it will definitely be more difficult for her than for a woman carrying a single baby. Your Highness, please wait patiently."

Xie Shang felt his scalp tingle just from glancing at the light and shadow. He clenched his fingers. How could his mother control everything? The entire Crown Prince's residence was under her control, and she was still not satisfied?

He said, “Ruan Ruan is going through a lot of hardship and her life is in danger. As her husband, I can only watch her suffer. Granny Wang, I can’t worry about that now. If you want to tell the Empress Dowager, just go ahead and tell her.”

Granny Wang was so frightened that she quickly explained, "This servant is too worried about the Crown Princess to even think about it. Childbirth is just too dangerous. His Highness is of noble status, and this servant is afraid that His Highness's imperial might frighten the midwives. With the Crown Prince not here, they can relax and help the Crown Princess give birth..."

Xie Shang frowned.

Imperial Physician Mei personally brought over a bowl of dark medicine and handed it to Granny Wang, saying, "This is a labor-inducing medicine; give it to the Crown Princess."

Granny Wang took it, turned around, and went back into the room.

Xie Shang pulled Imperial Physician Mei aside and said coldly, "You must ensure the safety of the Crown Princess. I want the Crown Princess and her child to be safe."

Even Physician Mei couldn't guarantee anything. Even though he was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, many things could happen during childbirth. If the mother suffered severe bleeding, she could die at any moment. And since the Crown Princess was having twins, things were even more unpredictable.

He could only say, "Fortunately, the Crown Princess takes good care of herself and is particular about her diet. The fetus is not large, so the delivery will be smoother. Your Highness does not need to worry too much."

Suddenly, Jiang Fenghua's screams came from inside the room. After taking the labor-inducing drugs, her belly quickly started to move, making it even more unbearable for her.

Lin Yu and Tan Wanqing also arrived. They inquired about the situation, asking, "How is the Crown Princess?"

Zhang Yumo hadn't expected childbirth to be so painful, and tears streamed down her face as she cried, "I don't know how things are going, and Granny Wang won't let me in."

Jiang Jinyan held her in his arms and comforted her, "It's alright, Third Sister will be alright." He was also reassuring himself.

The Second Princess and the Third Princess held each other's fingers tightly. "Don't worry, Manager Lin, Fenghua will surely be blessed by heaven." They met at Jishantang when they went to do good deeds together.

The Fourth Princess remained calm and composed. "Give birth is like this for all women. Just bear with it and it will pass. I also experienced pain when I gave birth to the little princess, but I had to endure it. The Crown Princess will definitely be able to bear this little bit of pain." Who is she yelling at so loudly for? It's like she's never given birth before. How much pain can it possibly cause?

Lin Yu glared at the Fourth Princess Consort. Hearing the painful sounds from inside, she broke out in a cold sweat. She prayed to heaven in her heart, "Please, God, have mercy on her. She must not be hurt. Jiang Fenghua, you must be brave. Giving birth is not scary..." She was even more nervous than Jiang Fenghua.

When she was seven years old, Jiang Fenghua, dressed in a boy's clothes and not very tall, stretched out a pair of fair and soft hands to her, asking, "Who locked you up here? What's your name?"

She squatted in the corner, the woodshed was cold and icy, her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty. She thought the "boy" in front of her was as handsome as a fairy. Could it be that "he" had also been abducted and sold into a dance school?

She had never seen such a handsome "boy".

The boy, with his bright, sparkling eyes, placed a silver ingot in her hand. "Hide it well. When you have a chance, escape. I'll cover for you. Don't be afraid. Be brave, you must be brave."

After saying that, the "boy" went out the door. She heard someone outside talking to the "boy," "Young Master Ruan, what are you doing here? Miss Lin Shuang asked me to take you there."

"Lead the way!" She turned and glanced at the woodshed, then generously took out some silver from her purse and handed it to the servant inside. "Thank you, take this and buy some wine!"
