If the queen is in good health, she will not worry, because the legitimate son will be born sooner or later.

Unfortunately, since the death of Prince Chenghu at a young age, the Queen's health has been deteriorating day by day. She looks extremely thin and frail, and there is no chance for her to have another child.

Now that the baby is a princess, I'm afraid she will have to live with the queen's hatred in the future.

"What are you doing? I asked you to bring the little prince over to me. Are you deaf?"

The queen was very unhappy. She was weak now and had finally given birth to a child. She wanted to quickly see whether the son she had given birth to with so much difficulty was healthy and whether he could take on the responsibility of the family.

Unfortunately, the midwife was a bit erratic. She hadn't moved since the baby was born. She had called her several times, but she didn't respond, which made her a little nervous.

Why did the midwife react like this? Was there something wrong with the baby she gave birth to?

"Hurry up and bring the little prince over to me for my inspection!"

The midwife thought that death would be death either sooner or later, and since the queen wanted to know the result so much, she simply agreed to her wish.

So she made up her mind and went straight to the queen with the little princess in her arms.

"I congratulate the Queen. You have safely given birth to a princess, and the princess is in good health."

Bang! The queen felt something explode in her head. She seemed to have just heard something about a princess. She gave birth to a princess? Wasn't she pregnant with a prince? How could she be a princess?

The queen didn't believe that she had given birth to a princess, so she forced herself to take the child and examine it personally.

When she saw that the baby she had given birth to was indeed a princess, she almost threw the child away.

"I gave birth to a prince today. Please remember this clearly."

Neither the palace maids nor the midwife said anything. They dared not lie. If they were discovered, their property would be confiscated and their families would be exterminated. The consequences would be too serious and they could not afford it.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, the queen became furious.

"Hurry! The Queen has fainted. Where is the imperial physician? Come and take her pulse."

Kangxi's face was extremely ugly at this time. The queen had been giving birth for a long time but the midwife didn't bring the baby out. In a hurry, he walked to the door of the delivery room and just heard the queen say that the baby she gave birth to today was a prince.

He didn't expect that such a virtuous person like the queen would dare to confuse the gender of the royal heir, and even threatened others to do so when he was just outside the door.

At this moment, all his good impressions of the queen were overturned, and the queen and he were no longer people who depended on each other.

"Your Majesty? What happened to the Empress? Why are you so silent at the door?"

Mu Sili looked at Kangxi with a worried look on her face, which made Kangxi feel a little jealous. After all, someone cared about him.

"Doctor Zhang, go and see the Empress. She risked her life to give birth to an heir, so nothing can happen to her."

"yes."

When Doctor Zhang entered the delivery room, he saw a panicked midwife and a palace maid who looked at him for help.

"Doctor Zhang, please check on the Empress quickly. She suddenly fainted and is bleeding profusely. The princess was just born, and nothing can happen to the Empress."

The wet nurse's voice was trembling. Even if the queen didn't like the princess, she had already been born and there was no way she could just sit back and do nothing.

Now that the queen has suffered a hemorrhage after childbirth, she doesn't want the princess to be branded as a mother-killer.

"Madam, the queen is at the end of her life. Even if I were Hua Tuo, I would not be able to save her."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse suddenly felt dizzy. She never thought that a normal childbirth would directly cost the queen's life.

Seeing the little princess in the midwife's arms, she began to doubt herself for the first time. If she had not advised the queen to put the baby in her womb first, would the queen have avoided the avalanche?

"I'm having a hemorrhage, right? Mammy, please ask the Emperor to come in. I have something to say to him."

"Yes, your majesty, don't worry. I will go and invite the emperor right away."

When Kangxi came in and saw the pale queen, he suppressed his anger and prepared to listen to what the queen wanted to say before deciding how to deal with her.

"Your Majesty has arrived. I have spent nearly ten years with you. I must leave first. Chenghu is still waiting for me downstairs. I should go find him."

"Queen..."

"Your Majesty, I have done many wrong things, but the child is innocent. Please consider our long-standing friendship and treat the little prince kindly.

I do not ask for him to be rich and powerful, but I ask for him to be safe and prosperous. This will satisfy me."

The queen's face was full of reluctance to part with her "son", and Kangxi's newly-awakened guilt immediately disappeared.

Didn't he know that the queen gave birth to a princess? He was really disappointed. When did the queen become like this? How could he not know?

"Your Majesty, this is my only wish. Please grant it for the sake of our long-standing friendship."

"Why did I hear that the Queen gave birth to a princess? Could it be that I have tinnitus and heard it wrongly?"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and watched the queen acting like this. He found it extremely boring and was too lazy to watch her act out her deep love for her son.

The queen obviously didn't expect that Kangxi already knew that she had given birth to a princess, and she looked a little dazed.

Thinking that the midwife might have exposed her, she stared at her with vicious eyes, as if the midwife would die on the spot if she stared at her any longer.

The midwife was obviously frightened by her eyes, and her evasive look made the queen believe that it was she who did it. So she gave her wet nurse a hint and then acted in front of Kangxi again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't know I was giving birth to a princess, and the midwife didn't tell me either, so I always thought I was giving birth to a prince.

As a princess, she needs the emperor's protection even more. Although the status of a royal princess is precious, without the protection of her biological mother, she would not dare to say a word if she was bullied by the servants.

Moreover, I am the legitimate daughter of a princess, born nobler than others. Without me, if you continue to neglect me, I don’t know how much suffering I will have to endure.”

Kangxi originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but after seeing her face getting paler and paler, he decided not to bother with her.

After all, they were all dying, so why bother with her so much? But she was right, the palace was a place of right and wrong, and he knew too well how much suffering people would have to endure without his mother's protection.

"Don't worry, I will send the child to be raised by the Royal Mam. I think the Royal Mam will be very happy to have a child by her side."

Kangxi thought the queen would burst into tears of gratitude when she heard this, but she just froze.

Send the princess to Xiaozhuang for upbringing? How could this be possible? She disagreed.

"The Queen is old, and the Princess is still young and too noisy, so don't send the Princess there to disturb her peace.

I have a younger sister who is now ten years old. I am worried about letting someone else raise the princess, so why not let her come to the palace to take care of the princess."
