Your son feels truly guilty.

Now that everything is settled here, I will take Xue'er back to the manor.

Go! Tomorrow is your big day.

Get some rest tonight, don't let anything important slip by.

"Your Majesty's teachings will be followed! Your Majesty, I take my leave!"

Now, there is only one day left until the Crown Prince's wedding.

Ever since Gu Qianxue learned that the Emperor had betrothed Chu Li to the Crown Prince, she had made a plan in her heart; she had no choice but to make one last gamble.

Because of the medication she took to induce labor, Gu Qianxue experienced mild contractions in her lower abdomen starting in the morning.

Perhaps it was fate, but when the Crown Prince came to pick her up, Gu Qianxue's lower abdominal pain intensified, and it seemed that she would experience severe contractions every minute.

Waves of intense pain washed over her, and Gu Qianxue was so aching that she couldn't straighten up. Her whole body trembled, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"Xue'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Zhiyan helped the person to sit down in front of the pavilion.

Suddenly, Gu Qianxue felt a warm current flowing out from under her.

"Your Highness, it's no use! I'm about to give birth! Quickly, go and fetch a midwife!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan's eyes widened in surprise and delight, and she quickly summoned her servants.

"Quickly! Go and fetch a midwife! Consort Gu is about to give birth!"

The servants obeyed the order without hesitation, and the midwife, as if she knew, arrived at the East Palace in no time.

Without saying a word, the Crown Prince carried Gu Qianxue into the main room of Zhi'en Palace.

That place was originally the bridal chamber for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
