It was several months before Concubine Zhen found out that a palace maid was pregnant with the emperor's child.

Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth, determined to snatch the child away. Gao Feng was the most powerful eunuch in the palace, and he hadn't publicized it, so the woman was protected by him. There was no time to rush, and if she was going to do it, she had to do it right the first time. Before, the palace people had treated her like a fool, but now it would be easier for her to do what she wanted next.

Li Jiajing has been pregnant for more than eight months. She holds an orange in her arms and strokes it gently.

My godmother once said that she had a child, but she had never seen that child and didn’t know where that child was.

Do I have to follow my godmother's path?

Li Ning walked up to her and asked, "Aunt, what would you like to eat for lunch?"

"Give me a bowl of millet porridge and some light side dishes."

"Auntie is pregnant, so she must supplement her nutrition and order something else."

"Let's have some pork slices in sour soup."

"Okay."

Li Ning went downstairs to prepare the meal.

Li Jiajing felt stomach pain. She had been having stomach pains frequently recently. The pain would go away after a while, but today the pain lasted particularly long.

Li Jiajing didn't want to trouble others, so she didn't call out to everyone.

But the pain didn't get better, it got worse.

Finally, Li Jiajing cried out in pain.

Li Ning was giving orders to the palace servants outside. When he heard the loud noise inside, he hurried in.

Seeing that Li Jiajing's face was covered with sweat and her face was pale, he hurried to Li Jiajing.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Li Jiajing was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She said with difficulty, "It hurts."

Li Ning quickly ordered the palace servants to carry Li Jiajing in and called the imperial physician.

The imperial physician and the female doctor had been in there for a long time, and Li Jiajing's soft cries could be heard in between.

"My Lady, My Lady, good news."

The palace maid passed the news that Li Jiajing was about to give birth to Concubine Zhen.

"This is a godsend. Grab the men and let's go."

Concubine Zhen led a group of people towards the palace where Li Jiajing lived.

"It's born. It's a boy."

With the palace maid's report, Li Ning finally felt relieved and sent someone to inform Eunuch Gao.

Gao Feng was also overjoyed when he got the news.

Arrange for the little eunuch and prepare some baby clothes for him to take over.

Helian Cheng saw Gao Feng busying around and walked up to him. "What are you so happy about?"

Gao Feng stopped and saw the emperor.
