The force of the impact caused him and Jing Shuo to fall to the side, preventing them from actually hitting Yue Jiang.
In her panic and dizziness, Yue Jiang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She curled up, clutching her stomach, and said in a trembling voice.
"Your Highness, I think I'm going into labor, it hurts."
Seeing that Yue Jiang was about to slide off the stool, Jing Yan pushed away Jing Shuo, who was pinning him down and had already fainted from fright. He endured the pain, got up, and picked her up, comforting her from time to time.
"Jiang'er, don't be afraid, I'll take you back right away."
The surrounding area was in chaos due to the sudden accident, and everyone was whispering to each other in a panic. Just as Jing Yan was carrying Yue Jiang and stumbling through the crowd, there was a moment of calm.
Suddenly, a thud was heard on the distant corridor, followed by a shout.
"Consort Cheng has fallen into the water! Help! Consort Cheng has fallen into the water!"
...
Jing Yan carried Yue Jiang back to the East Palace without stopping. Upon seeing this, the East Palace staff began preparing for the delivery.
After Jing Yan placed Yue Jiang on the bed, he was drenched in sweat. Yue Jiang's face was pale with pain, and she was also covered in sweat.
"Jiang'er, hang in there!"
Yue Jiang was breathing heavily. Before she could speak, she saw people bustling around her, urging Jing Yan to leave.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess's water broke slowly on the way back. Please go out and change your clothes quickly, so as not to delay the Crown Princess's delivery."
While in pain, Yue Jiang noticed that Jing Yan seemed unresponsive. She inadvertently touched his palm, which was very cold and trembling slightly.
But the next moment, Jing Yan quickly grasped her hand, and a worried voice came to Yue Jiang's ear: "Jiang'er, I'm here!"
Despite the pain, Yue Jiang pleaded, "Your Highness, please go out first. Wait until I give birth before you come in, otherwise I'll be distracted."
Seeing Yue Jiang say this, Jing Yan dared not cause any more trouble. He nodded hurriedly, his voice choked with emotion.
"I understand. Jiang'er, you must hold on. I'll come to see you as soon as you give birth."
After Jingyan left, Yuejiang's shouts suddenly grew louder and became intermittent, with everyone inside telling her to exert more force.
"How is Jiang'er?" Empress Ye asked anxiously as she squatted down in front of her son.
Jing Yan was momentarily slow to react, and it took the Emperor and Empress quite a while to notice.
"Mother, Jiang'er is in a lot of pain."
Jing Yan looked up, seemingly calm, but her eyes had already reddened without her noticing.
