Chapter 142 See you at Zhaochun Palace

"My queen, this..." Chan'er bit her lip, "I can't do this. Your childbirth is a big deal. The midwives and doctors are the top priority. I am just a palace maid, and they can tell me to get out anytime and anywhere."

Yingchun was also worried about this.

"I will let you stay then. Just remember what I said. Don't use other people's things. Prepare all the handkerchiefs yourself. Also, prepare the ginseng slices and other things you need in advance. Don't forget anything."

Yingchun and Chaner nodded heavily.

"My lady, don't worry, with this servant here, no one can harm you!"

"If you want to harm the queen, step over the dead body of this slave first!"

Bai Wutong was amused by Yingchun's words, "Okay, there are probably only three or four days left, so you should take this opportunity to get ready. If there is anything you don't understand, go ask Doctor Ji."

Chan'er stayed to take care of him.

Yingchun, who was relatively cautious, went out to prepare.

The entire palace was quiet.

Wen Ruyun was much more obedient than before and stayed in the Yangxin Palace the whole time, rarely coming out.

The originally bustling harem suddenly became quiet, which made Concubine De a little uncomfortable.

She grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and asked, "Is Zhaopin about to give birth?"

Concubine Hui nodded and said, "She will be born soon, either at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. But she may not be able to keep the child after it is born. The Queen has been unable to have children for a long time, so she will definitely grab one. The Queen Mother may even teach one herself. She hates Concubine Zhao, so even if she doesn't want her, she won't keep it. She will either give it to you or me."

There are not many people with high positions in the harem now. There used to be a Rong Fei, but now there are only two of them left. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"You're right, but I don't think Zhaopin is someone who will give up easily. There will be a lot of excitement to watch later." Defei picked up the teacup and moistened her throat. "What's going on with Jinpin? She hates Zhaopin so much now, she will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"There's no movement, and she's not calling for the emperor. The more she acts like this, the more I feel like she's planning something. Anyway, we'll know in a few days, so there's no need to worry too much."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Sister, I will go back first. We will meet in Zhaochun Palace in a few days."

"Okay, see you at Zhaochun Palace."

The two of them parted ways.

Concubine De lazily leaned on the couch, "Humph, I just want to watch the fun, don't let anyone be blind to frame me. Forget it, let's be prepared in advance. There will definitely be a lot of people on that day, and anything can happen. I have to make a perfect plan, and I can't follow the old path of Concubine Jin."

…

The closer it gets to the delivery date, the quieter the harem becomes.

It's like the calm before the storm.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhaochun Palace.

Just waiting for the two royal heirs to be born.

…

The end of June.

Under the moonlight, the Zhaochun Palace is full of flowers.

Bai Wutong put down the book and looked at her belly. She felt that her baby would be born soon, but it would take several hours before the actual delivery.

This is a good time to perfect my strategy.

Thinking of this, she immediately called Chan'er, "Quick, call the doctor!"

Chan'er was startled and ran out immediately.

Yingchun followed closely behind.

"The Queen is about to give birth!"

"Go and call the female doctor, I will tell the emperor!"

The lights in the palace lit up one by one.

In an instant, the stagnant water turned into turbulent waves.

Zhang Chengyan put on his clothes and went straight to Zhaochun Palace. "Wang Decai, go and see where those female doctors are. Ask Doctor Ji to wait at the door. If he really can't help, let him in."

"Yes." Wang Decai saw that the emperor was nervous and knew that he could not leave yet, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to do it.

After rushing and hurrying, we finally arrived at Zhaochun Palace.

The door that was originally closed has been opened.

Yunxiang's face was filled with anxiety. Seeing him was like seeing a life-saving straw. "Your Majesty, the queen is about to give birth!"

"I know." Zhang Chengyan strode into the room, "Princess Zhao, I'm here to see you!"

Bai Wutong had already prepared everything, even the fake amniotic fluid.

At this moment, her face was pale and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was in extreme pain.

Zhang Chengyan felt extremely distressed and held her hand, "Princess Zhao, I'm here, don't be afraid, you will definitely be able to give birth to my two princes safely!"

"Your Majesty..." Bai Wutong spoke weakly, "This is not the place for you to come."

There were hurried footsteps outside.

The imperial physician, female physician, and concubines from all the palaces came rushing over.

The chief female doctor quickly stepped forward to check on Bai Wutong's condition. "Your Majesty's water has broken and she will give birth soon. Hurry, prepare to deliver the baby. Your Majesty, please leave first."

The Queen Mother hurried over, followed by four midwives.

They are very experienced in delivering babies and can deliver babies together with the female doctors to minimize the risks.

Squeak——

The door is closed.

Only the flickering candlelight remained.

"ah!"

A scream suddenly rang out, piercing the night sky.

Zhang Chengyan stared at the door, "Why is Concubine Zhao screaming so miserably?"

The Queen Mother was also very anxious. This was the first child of the Darong Kingdom, and there must be no mistakes. "Emperor, don't worry. It's the same for all women when they give birth. When I gave birth to you, I was in pain for three whole hours."

The concubines behind him looked at each other, some were watching the fun, and some were jealous.

At the very end, Jin Weige clenched his fists tightly and prayed silently in his heart, Zhaopin, you must die!

The cries of pain continued.

The candlelight in the room flickered more and more violently.

Seven or eight people gathered around the bed, pulling at the quilt.

The chief female doctor took the best position, "My lady, please use more strength!"

Bai Wutong on the bed was already sweating profusely and seemed to be in great pain, but in fact he was looking at everyone in the room.

Several midwives had no place to go, so they scolded Chan'er and Yingchun, "Why don't you two slaves get out of the way!"

"No..." Bai Wutong said personally, "Let them stay."

"My lady, you are giving birth. This is a big deal. The two of them can't help you. They would be a hindrance if they are here."

Bai Wutong looked at the chattering midwife and said, "I told them to stay!"

Having said this, the midwife had no choice but to shut up.

She walked around to the end of the bed, picked up a handkerchief, and started to wipe it.

Chan'er was quick and grabbed it, "I'll do it."

She reached her hand under the quilt, shook it casually a few times, and then threw the handkerchief into the basin beside her.

After being soaked in water, no one knows whether there is anything on it.

The midwife glared at Chan'er fiercely, and her hand beside her rubbed unconsciously.

Bai Wutong saw that there was something wrong with the midwife, and kicked her while convulsing in pain, "You're hurting me, get out now!"

Yingchun didn't say anything, dragged the midwife out, "You are so clumsy, get out of here!"

"No...I didn't do anything!" She didn't even touch Bai Wutong just now, how could she hurt her?

Yingchun opened the door and pushed her out.

Zhang Chengyan outside immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Concubine Zhao?"

"The queen is still giving birth, Your Majesty. The midwife is clumsy and hurts the queen."

After saying that, Yingchun closed the door.

Bai Wutong's cries of pain were heard again from inside.

The midwife stood there in a daze, cold sweat breaking out, her hair standing on end.

Zhang Chengyan didn't even look at her, "Drag her away!"

"Your Majesty, I really didn't touch Concubine Zhao!"
