Yan Yuning was pregnant, so Xuan Yanyu, who had always ignored the affairs of state, had even more reason to stay with Yan Yuning throughout the entire pregnancy, and was more dedicated and responsible than a maid.
It was night again. Yan Yuning felt severe pain in her lower abdomen. She called Xuan Yanyu's name in a trembling voice.
"Doctor, doctor." Xuan Yanyu had been sleeping with his clothes on these days, and he hurriedly got off the bed and called for help.
The doctor and the midwife heard the voice and pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom, "Greetings to His Majesty, Your Majesty."
"It hurts so much..." Yan Yuning clutched the quilt tightly.
"Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I'm with you." Xuan Yanyu's voice was even trembling than Yan Yuning's.
"Your Majesty, you may leave now." The midwife bowed.
Xuan Yanyu held Yan Yuning's hand and shook his head. He would not do it again this time.
"Go wait outside the hall." Yan Yuning took a deep breath.
"No." Xuan Yanyu held her hand tightly.
"Go..." Yan Yuning tried to pull her hand back.
"No."
"Xuan Yanyu!" Yan Yuning looked at him with red eyes.
After a stalemate, Xuan Yanyu had to compromise and walked out of the hall at a very slow pace.
The palace door was closed by the medical officer, and he stood at the door, listening nervously to the movements inside.
He couldn't describe his current mood. Fear took over his whole body. He didn't know how long he stood there before he heard crying from inside. Not only the crying of a baby, but also other crying sounds...
Xuan Yanyu's limbs felt cold, and his brain exploded with a "boom". The crying inside became louder and louder, and he sat on the ground in dejection.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Qiu Ci opened the palace door and was shocked to see Xuan Yanyu sitting on the ground in a trance and without any image.
The palace door was opened, and the smell of blood in the bedroom wafted out. Xuan Yanyu moved his fingers with a wooden expression.
"Your Majesty, you...you go in and comfort the Queen. She just gave birth to the little prince, she can't cry like this." Qiu Ci said anxiously.
"What?" Xuan Yanyu was stunned, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Ningning is still here?"
"Yes, Madam..."
Before Qiu Ci finished speaking, the man sitting on the ground jumped up and ran into the bedroom.
Qiuci: “……?”
"Xuan Yanyu..." Seeing Xuan Yanyu, Yan Yuning sniffed.
The little ball that had lived in my belly for ten months was not my sweet and soft daughter...
The expectation was so great that she couldn't hold back...
Did Xuan Yanyu inherit his genes from his father?
Then she...her sweet and soft daughter...
The more I think about it, the more I want to cry...
"Why are you crying like this?" Xuan Yanyu hugged her and choked up, "You scared me."
"A little hopeless." Yan Yuning muttered softly.
"Hmm?" Xuan Yanyu wiped her tears and asked patiently, "Why do you feel a little hopeful?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen couldn't help crying when she found out that it was the Second Prince and not Little Prince." Xiao Wan washed the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Yan Yu Ning's forehead.
Xuan Yanyu frowned, "Isn't it Xiao Xiao?"
"Yes... yes, Your Majesty, it's the Second Prince." Xiao Wan replied nervously. Would His Majesty also cry out of sadness?
"Got it. Go ahead." Xuan Yanyu's gaze fell back on Yan Yuning and he found that she had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
He covered her with the quilt, held her hand, and whispered, "Thank you, Ningning, for not leaving me."
