"No, it was just a dream."

But as soon as the princess finished speaking, a wave of pain came over her.

"Ouch!" the princess cried out.

The prince doesn't understand.

Is it going to be a mess or not?

He has been waiting for the past few days and is starting to get anxious.

The princess opened her eyes, but she felt nothing.

Then she waited for nearly half a quarter of an hour, and when she felt another wave of pain, the princess was sure.

"It's really time to cum."

"real?"

"real."

"I want my daughter-in-law, Ziqi, to come here." The prince only thought that Yu Zheng was the best doctor in the family, and did not think that the midwife had already been invited to live in the mansion.

"It's late at night, it's not that fast. Let's wait a little longer." The princess didn't want to wake up her son and his wife at this time.

"No, I don't understand anything. I'd better let her come with me so that I can feel at ease."

The prince is very stubborn.

Without saying anything, he put on a coat and left the bedroom.

That night, Qiuxiang and Qiuye were on duty and they slept on the couch in the outer room.

The maids on night duty all lay down in their clothes.

When I heard the door open, I got up immediately.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do for you?" Qiu Ye asked.

"The princess is about to give birth, please call the eldest young lady over quickly."

"Yes." The two maids were not like the prince who knew nothing.

A maid, a midwife, and by the way, Aunt Zhao to take charge.

The two maids were afraid that they couldn't hold it.

The lights in the main courtyard were soon lit.

When Yu Yuzheng and Shangguan Ziqi heard that Concubine Li had made some movement, they both hurried over.

Even Nanhua and Yu Chaoyang came.

Finally, Madam One and Madam Three also came.

The two old ladies didn't come.

Yu Zheng followed her into the bedroom.

"Princess Li, how do you feel now?" Yu Yuzheng was also worried.

Because the princess is already 39 years old, an elderly mother.

"It's just the beginning of the reaction. It's still too early." The princess also gained experience from her daughter-in-law's birth.

The prince went outside to find An Yi.

"An Yi, send a few more secret guards to guard the periphery." The prince was just in case.

Thinking of the assassination attempt on his daughter-in-law during childbirth, he was afraid that his wife might also be in childbirth when the assassins from Canglan Kingdom rushed into the palace without any regard for the consequences.

It has happened before.

He had heard from his grandfather that once Canglan Country sent hundreds of assassins to destroy the Rong Palace directly, taking advantage of the time when the princess of that generation was giving birth.

"Yes, master." An Yi obeyed the order.

Then he picked a few secret guards from the outer courtyard study and the Shuxiang Courtyard.

The princess's labor pains had just begun, so they were not going so fast. Plus, it had been so long since she had given birth, so her cervix must have been opening very slowly.

䀴At this time, in the third old lady's room.

"Dear, the birth of my sister-in-law is an opportunity." The third master and his wife bowed respectfully.

"What do you mean?" The third old lady didn't understand for a moment.

"There are fifteen secret guards guarding the Zishuyuan. We have no way to take action. Just now, my eldest brother asked An Yi to transfer some people to the main courtyard. There are only eight secret guards in Shuxiangyuan now."

After hearing this, the third old lady thought about it seriously before making up her mind.

"Now, get started. We must seize the moment and make sure we can get out when the city gate opens. Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of the city and will be easily discovered. Pay attention to every step and there must not be any mistakes. We can't let the plan we have been working on for so long fail."

"Yes, son understands." After getting the consent of the third old lady, the third master immediately began to arrange the actions.

It was the middle of the morning (two o'clock) when a conspiracy quietly unfolded.

In the main courtyard, the princess continued to sleep with Yu Yuzheng by her side, allowing her to take advantage of the time to sleep between the two pains.

Only by resting can you have energy when the time comes.

The princess was very obedient. Even if she had to close her eyes for a moment, she would seize the moment.

It was not until dawn that the five fingers were opened.

䀴Just then, a secret guard came running over.

"Your Highness, no, the iron box is missing." It was a secret guard guarding Shuxiangyuan.

"What?" The prince was shocked.

He jumped up with Qing Kung Fu and flew away immediately.

Yu Chaoyang also heard these words.

She took a look at it when she came out and placed it on the table in the middle of her bedroom. She dialed it a few times before going to bed.

For so many days, she fiddled with it whenever she had nothing to do, but she never succeeded once.

She gradually lost interest, but would occasionally dial a few times to try her luck.

She also ran to Shuxiangyuan immediately. If the iron box was lost in her hands, she would be the sinner of the entire Shangguan family, no, the sinner of the entire Wei Dynasty.

Shangguan Ziqi also heard it, and let Qingfeng push him to quickly go out of Shuxiangyuan.

The prince went to Shuxiangyuan and heard from the secret guard that the place where the iron box was previously placed was indeed empty.

Several secret guards hiding in the dark appeared and knelt before the prince one by one.

"Speak." The prince's words were cold enough to kill people. His face was as black as ink.

"My lord, the chief of the secret guards has transferred seven of his brothers away, so our field of vision has been reduced by half. We just changed our positions a little bit, and the iron box disappeared. We didn't even notice that anyone had appeared." A secret guard replied.

"So you didn't see anyone at all, you just noticed that the iron box was missing?"

"yes."

The prince checked the entire bedroom carefully, but didn't see even a footprint, which shows how powerful the other party's martial arts skills are.

The windows were all closed, so it was impossible to see how the thieves stole the things.

The prince slammed his fist on the table, without stopping, he walked out of Shuxiangyuan and saw his eldest son sitting in a wheelchair.

His mind immediately went around in circles before he spoke.

"Ziqi, guard the palace and your concubine. I will only tell you that your father has to leave the palace in a hurry. When you come back, your father will apologize to your concubine."

The prince ordered in a cold voice.

Then he went into the outer study and called for Butler Li, who was waiting quietly by the side.

"An Yi, take my token and notify the city guards to close all four gates of the capital. No one is allowed to leave."

"Butler Li, send someone to inform the prince immediately and ask him to come back immediately."

What a big deal it is that the iron box was stolen.

The first master and the third master also got the news quickly and rushed over.

"Brother? Was the iron box stolen?" The two men looked anxious, clearly unable to fake it.

"yes."

"Brother, take me with you, and we will go look for it together right away." The master boasted.

This is the best time to perform, how could he let it go.

"Brother, there's me too." The third master also asked, and his expression was as sincere as it could be.

"Old man, you only know how to eat, drink and have fun, so don't make trouble.

Third brother, you are a scholar and have no martial arts skills. I don't think you can ride a horse very far.

You just stay in the palace and guard it together with Ziqi.

Your sister-in-law is in labor, so I'll leave my brother in your care." The prince said hastily.

Then he strode out of the palace.

This was a serious matter. He had to go to the palace first.

The city gate was opened for less than a quarter of an hour before it closed again.

As soon as the prince entered the palace, he immediately confessed his crime to the emperor.

The emperor was so angry that he punched the prince twice.

"How did it happen?"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. I have already notified all city gates to close before entering the palace. I am afraid that the thieves have already left the capital. Please, Your Majesty, immediately issue an order to all border checkpoints not to release any suspicious persons and to strictly investigate them."

"Well, I will issue an order now. You should quickly organize an investigation. This must have been done by the people of Canglan. You should chase them in that direction, and you will definitely catch them." The emperor immediately thought of this possibility.

"yes."

No one in Prince Li's mansion told the princess about this, and Shangguan Ziqi strictly ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut.

The old lady wanted to come and see the princess, but was stopped outside the main courtyard by Chunlei and was not allowed to enter.

"Why won't you let me in? I'm just concerned about the princess." The old lady was about to force her way in angrily, but was stopped by Chunlei with a point.
