For a long time, he held the piece of letter paper, his eyes slightly red, but he couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.
…
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the air was filled with wind and snow. The streets of the capital were already hung with big red lanterns, and the lively atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere.
However, a heavy haze shrouded the princess's mansion.
In the delivery room, Song Yunci's breathing was rapid and weak, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her pale forehead, and her hands were clenched tightly under the quilt, her knuckles turning white.
She had been struggling for three hours, but the baby in her belly still had not been born.
The midwife looked anxious, pressing Song Yunci's abdomen with both hands, helping her breathe smoothly while anxiously speaking,
"Your Highness! The Crown Princess is pregnant with twins. The fetuses are too large, and the birth canal is blocked, making it difficult to deliver! If it is delayed any further, I am afraid that both mother and child will be in danger of their lives!"
The faces of the people waiting outside the house changed instantly when they heard this.
Yuan Zhao tightened his grip slightly, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice,
"Is there any way?"

Gan Tang's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth, and replied in a deep voice,
"Your Highness, the queen's attack came suddenly. Biyun went to the Chen residence as soon as the attack occurred, but Doctor Chen was on duty today and had already entered the palace."
"Where is that person? Go to the palace to invite him!" Yuan Zhao didn't think twice and was about to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the person in person, but he heard hurried footsteps at the door.
She suddenly raised her eyes and saw Biyun running into the yard quickly, her face pale and her breathing disordered, but there was no one behind her!
Yuan Zhao suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart, "Where are the people?"
Biyun rushed to her, leaned over and whispered in her ear, lowering her voice, which trembled slightly from running.
"Your Highness, this is bad! The palace gates are sealed! The Imperial Guards have completely blocked the area. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
