Chapter 189: The Coffin Returns to Yongxing City
Zhao Yun frowned slightly as he looked at Ye Wanhe who was enduring the pain. In the past, he only felt that Ye Wanhe was respectful and polite to him, but she had not yet adapted to the transformation from a palace maid to a crown princess.
But today, despite being in so much pain, she was still so distant and polite.
Ye Wanhe didn't care about Zhao Yun at this moment. She had heard Yun Xiangye talk about the pain of childbirth before, but she didn't expect it to be so painful.
Soon, Queen Wei rushed to the delivery room. She saw Zhao Yun beside Ye Wanhe and said, "Yun'er, you go out first."
Zhao Yun asked: "Mother, do you also think that giving birth is unclean?"
Queen Wei said, "Of course not, it's just that if you stay in the room, the midwives will be full of fear. If you go out, they will feel more at ease."
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I don't want to leave here. I want to see the birth of my child with her in person."
Queen Wei smiled and said to the midwife beside her: "Just pretend that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here and help His Royal Highness the Crown Princess deliver the baby. If both mother and child are safe, you will be rewarded handsomely."
After hearing what Queen Wei said, the midwives all became extremely alert. They were originally afraid of losing their heads, but now that they heard that there would be a huge reward, and thinking that the person they delivered might be the future ruler of the world, they dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Ye Wanhe was in so much pain that sweat broke out on her forehead. She couldn't bear the pain when she heard the midwife say that her fingers were not fully dilated yet.
Zhao Yun controlled his temper and did not scold the midwives.
Half an hour...an hour...after two hours, Ye Wanhe felt exhausted and could only hold ginseng in her mouth to replenish her strength.
When Ye Wanhe felt darkness in front of her eyes, she murmured in a low voice: "Mother... Father..."
Zhao Yun listened to Ye Wanhe's words, held Ye Wanhe's hand tightly and said, "The baby will be out soon, Wanhe, you need to use more strength."
Ye Wanhe was almost unconscious and could only call out for her mother and father.
Ye Wanhe only felt as if a child appeared in front of her, just like the child in the dream, he smiled at her and said: "Mother, mother..."
Ye Wanhe stretched out her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, mother will finally come to accompany you. You have been alone for more than six years. Mother will not let you be alone anymore..."
Zhao Yun listened to Ye Wanhe's words and kept calling her to wake up. He frowned and looked at the midwife and the female imperial physician beside him and asked, "What do you eat? Why does it take so long to give birth to a child?"
The midwife whispered, "The little grandson's head is really too big. This... can only rely on the Crown Princess to use her strength."
Queen Wei came in hurriedly with Xie Zhixuan outside and said, "I didn't want to trouble you, but it's already two hours."
Xie Zhixuan said: "I am a doctor, so I don't care whether it is troublesome or not."
Xie Zhixuan came forward to take a look and said, "It's much better than when you gave birth to Yun'er. Everyone, get out. Yun'er, you get out too."
Zhao Yun looked at Xie Zhixuan, somewhat reluctant to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, he would lose Ye Wanhe forever. This premonition had become stronger in the past few days.
Xie Zhixuan said: "You don't trust others, so don't you trust me?"
Queen Wei said to Zhao Yun, "Go quickly and trust your aunt."
Only then did Zhao Yun leave the delivery room.
Zhao Yun went outside and paced back and forth, becoming extremely anxious.
"Father." Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed when he saw His Majesty coming.
His Majesty saw Zhao Yun's extremely anxious look and said, "Time flies by so fast. When your mother gave birth to you, it was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, your aunt helped. Now your child is about to be born... Trust your aunt."
Zhao Yun kept pacing, and as time went by, he became more and more nervous: "It's almost midnight, why hasn't the baby been born yet?"
When Zhao Yun saw the basins of blood being brought out, he ignored everyone who tried to stop him and went into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard the cry of a baby. I saw the midwives holding a white and chubby baby who had just been born. Xie Zhixuan said, "It's rare to see a baby who is so white and chubby when he is just born. It shows how much you, Wanhe, have suffered."
Zhao Yun hurried forward and held Ye Wanhe's hand, "Wanhe."
Ye Wanhe no longer had much strength left. She said to Zhao Yun in a daze, "Your Highness...if...if I can't survive this disaster...I want to leave...leave the palace, take the coffin back, and return to Yongxing City."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are my wife in life and my Crown Princess in death. I will never let you leave the palace. Don't say such depressing words. Our child is born."
The midwife walked up to Ye Wanhe holding the child and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, this is a little grandson weighing 8.6 jin. This child was white and plump when he was born, and he is very blessed."
Ye Wanhe's vision was already blurry. After hearing the baby crying, she saw the child from her blurry vision, but she eventually fell asleep.
"Wanhe! Auntie..."
Xie Zhixuan said to Zhao Yun, "She lost a lot of energy and blood when she gave birth. She is too tired and her body can't hold on any longer. Let her have a good sleep."
Queen Wei heard the baby crying outside and entered the palace. Seeing her grandson already in the cradle, she took the child with a smile and said, "You are stronger than when Yun'er was born. No wonder she tortured your mother for so long. You must be filial to your mother in the future."
Xie Zhixuan smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, sister-in-law, congratulations, sister-in-law, on the birth of your grandson."
Queen Wei said, "Sister, I don't know how to thank you. When I gave birth to Yun'er, it was thanks to you that I saved my life. Now it is thanks to you again. I don't know how to repay this great kindness."
Xie Zhixuan smiled and said, "Why should we have different opinions when we are one family?"
Empress Wei was delighted to have a big fat grandson. She rewarded the imperial doctors, palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace with one year's salary each, and also rewarded several midwives with a thousand taels of silver.
In the hall nearby, His Majesty was waiting anxiously. When he saw Queen Wei coming over with her grandson in her arms, His Majesty chuckled and said, "This child looks more like Yun'er."
Queen Wei smiled and said, "He looks more like Yun'er. You and I finally have a grandson."
His Majesty looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and said, "It has been a long time since Dasheng has had such a happy event. When I go to court tomorrow, I will announce to the world that I will reduce agricultural taxes for one year, grant amnesty to the whole world, and pray for the blessing of the emperor's grandson."

In the embroidery workshop.
Yun Xiangye was awakened by the noise outside in the middle of the night. She got up and saw Gu Yan returning. She asked, "What's the big deal?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "It's a big event, but it's a happy event. The Crown Princess gave birth to a big fat boy weighing 8.6 jin."
Yun Xiangye couldn't laugh. "Eight pounds and six ounces? How much pain did my sister have to endure? I'm sure it must have been difficult to give birth."
Gu Yan said: "The birth of the little grandson is a cause for universal celebration. Tomorrow, your majesty's uncle will definitely reduce taxes and grant amnesty to the whole country."
Yun Xiangye said, "I have to go to West Street to tell my uncle and aunt about this happy event. They have been worried these days."
Gu Yan said: "Forget about it in the middle of the night. If you wake up my uncle and aunt, they will definitely be unable to sleep."
Yun Xiangye said: "I want to go to the East Palace to see my sister tomorrow morning."
Gu Yan said: "I will take you to the East Palace tomorrow to try, but I can't guarantee whether you can see my sister or not."
