Lan Xuan came forward and looked at Gu Miao's annoyed face.
Her scars looked extremely hideous under the light. Lan Xuan felt a little scared and her heart was trembling with fear, but she still managed to suppress the chill in her heart.
"Princess, it's done."
"It happened tonight... and you came just in time..."
Gu Miao nodded, but when he looked at the sky outside, he couldn't sleep at all.
"Let's wait and see."
…
At the gate of Concubine Ning's palace, a person dressed as an old woman bowed and nodded to the guards at the door.
"Sir, it's true... I really..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't know how you were able to enter the palace, but there are so many suspicious people now..."
"What are you doing!"
Qianshi walked over here carrying a basin of water and noticed the commotion at the door at a glance.
At that time, she was still very worried about Concubine Ning in the room, but when she saw the old woman, she immediately dropped the basin in her hand, and the water spilled all over the floor and dried up instantly.
"Aunt Xi?! You're here!"
After the basin of water fell, she did not feel panicked. Instead, she looked very surprised. She wiped her hands with her dress and trotted over!
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Aunt Xi's smile was a little forced, and she bent even more
"Miss Qianshi, long time no see. I'm late."
She put the bag on her back and rubbed her hands, her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Because the imperial concubine's birth came so suddenly, I received the notice from the adults and came here in a hurry, so I forgot to take the token. Now I can't get in even if I want to..."
"You said that."
Qianshi grabbed Aunt Chun's hand and pulled her out from between the two guards.
"It would be best if you could come."
"I didn't expect you to come over. Now I'm not worried anymore..."
As she spoke, she pulled Aunt Chun inside and said to the two guards who were looking at each other in confusion,
"This is the midwife from our imperial concubine's family. She has always been the one delivering babies in our house. The imperial concubine was delivered by this Aunt Xi!"
Because of Aunt Xi's arrival, Qianshi felt relieved and looked at the guard impatiently.
"Do you understand? If you do, then let us pass quickly!"
"If you delay the affairs of the Imperial Concubine and the Dragon Heir, you won't even know how you died!"
Frightened by this, the guards quickly stepped aside to make way.
"Miss Qianshi, please forgive me. Miss Qianshi, please forgive me!"
“We, we…”
It seems that he doesn't care about them at all, and he is very excited holding Aunt Chun's hand.
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
"I heard that you haven't been a midwife for a long time. This time, the concubine couldn't find you."
"These midwives in the palace are always worried. Although they are experienced, we dare not slack off when it comes to the matter of the heir to the throne."
She lowered her voice a little, as if she had already treated Aunt Chun as an old friend with whom she could talk about anything, and her tone was full of nostalgia.
"You also know that the imperial concubine is weak, and it is very difficult for her to conceive this child..."
"Thank you for your patience."
I don't know why Aunt Chun didn't dare to look into Qianshi's eyes, she smiled and said
"This is as it should be. I have been your wife since she was a child. I will definitely help you deliver your baby well..."
Before reaching Concubine Ning's room, I could hear her screaming in pain.
The emperor was waiting anxiously at the door. Aunt Chun was frightened and saluted the emperor from a distance.
"I, you, I, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Who are you?"
The emperor was a little annoyed by the old woman's sudden kneeling. He waved his hand to let her get up and looked at Qianshi beside him as if looking for an answer.
"Your Majesty, this is the midwife from our former residence. This time, she was asked by the master to come and deliver the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was delivered by this Aunt Chun."
Hearing this, the emperor lowered his guard and quickly stepped aside.
"Quick! Let her in! Make sure mother and child are safe!"
Aunt Chun stood up, picked up a handkerchief to wash her hands, and then pushed the door open and went in.
I don’t know if it was everyone’s illusion, but since Aunt Chun came in, Concubine Ning’s screams have become noticeably quieter.
Basins of blood were brought out, which was shocking to see.
Qianshi was crying outside, but she didn't dare to make any sound to upset the emperor. She could only bring clean water again and again in the hope of making the movement inside faster.
This time, Concubine Ning's delivery shocked many people.
The emperor's harem is empty and his offspring are few and far between. There has been no birth in the palace for many years.
Gu Yinghuai doesn't like to go out on weekdays. People don't know much about this mysterious third prince, and even the emperor is not very close to him.
Gu Yinghuai's biological mother was a palace maid who was not presentable. She was given a title after giving birth to him. Unfortunately, she was beautiful but had a tragic life. She died of illness after only a few years as a concubine, leaving behind a young Gu Yinghuai.
He was originally a cold-hearted person, unlike other princes who liked to hang around the emperor and play with him. Perhaps because of his background, he usually tried to avoid the emperor as much as possible, causing the emperor to forget about him.
If asked, the emperor probably wouldn't know how he grew up.
The third prince Gu Yinghuai has no family, the eldest prince died early, and the second princess also married a foreign princess, leaving only Gu Miao, who has recently become increasingly disappointing to the emperor and the empress dowager.
Therefore, they attached great importance to Concubine Ning's child.
Following the eunuch's loud voice, the Queen Mother appeared at the end of the corridor.
The emperor hurried to meet him
"Mother, why are you here?"
"I came to see her, how is she doing now?"
Generally, when a concubine gave birth, the empress dowager would stay in her own palace and not come easily.
She only showed up when the queen gave birth, and then left in a hurry.
Now he took it so seriously that the queen who was waiting on the side changed her expression.
"It's okay, mother."
She eased her complexion, supported the Queen Mother and patted her hands
"This Imperial Concubine Ning will definitely be safe."
"She eats and sleeps well on weekdays, so the child must be very healthy. She is also very careful herself."
"When I heard you were going to give birth, I went to find the most experienced midwife. They are all very experienced, so you can rest assured."
The Queen Mother relaxed her brows and nodded in agreement.
"You're thoughtful."
Suddenly, a child screamed and cried out in pain, a sound that had been silent from inside!
This startled everyone and they rushed to the door in panic.
A midwife ran out with blood on her hands and sweat on her head. When she saw the emperor and the empress dowager were there, she was stunned and fell to her knees.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Thinking that something had happened to the people inside, the emperor stepped forward anxiously.
"If you have something to say, tell me! What's going on in there?"
"The Imperial Concubine... The Imperial Concubine..."
