Chen Nian felt abdominal pain in the middle of the night, which frightened Ertai so much that he rushed to the midwife, doctor and imperial physician who were waiting in the mansion without even having time to put on his clothes and shoes.
All the famous midwives, doctors, and imperial physicians were already waiting at the Vice Minister's residence.
"How is it? How is Niannian?"
Upon receiving the news, the Emperor, Empress, Empress Dowager, Consort Hanxiang, and Consort Ling rushed out of the palace and anxiously asked Ertai and Yongxuan, who were gathered outside the room.
"have no idea."
Ertai was completely dazed, his hands trembling at his sides, his face deathly pale. He was unable to answer the Emperor and the others. He was filled with extreme panic. He wanted to go in, but Chen Nian wouldn't let him, otherwise she would never forgive him.
It was Yongxuan who spoke first, answering the Emperor's question.
The old lady's prayer beads spun rapidly, while Qing'er held Yongxuan's hand tightly, her eyes never leaving the door.
Cai Lian's clasped hands were also white at the knuckles.
Everyone stared nervously at the door, their hearts pounding as they listened to Chen Nian's cries of pain.
As time passed, from late at night to daytime, and then to bright sunshine, the door had been peeled off by Ertai, stained with blood, and his face was deathly pale.
I don't know how much time has passed.
With a creak, the door opened, drawing everyone's attention.
Congratulations! Mother and daughter are safe and sound. It's a lovely baby girl.
The midwife brought out a bright red baby.
Where is my wife?
Where is Niannian?
Everyone ignored the baby and rushed forward to ask the midwife about Chen Nian's condition.
Contemplation is the most important thing.
"The princess is getting ready inside; she'll be able to go in soon. And this young lady? You..."
Surrounded by people, the midwife holding the baby in her arms was a little at a loss, as it was the first time she had encountered everyone caring about the new mother.
"Give it to me."
In the end, Ying'er, who was standing to the side, took the baby from the midwife's arms.
The matchmaker handed the child over to the people outside and went back to her room.
Upon receiving the news that Chen Nian was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were able to focus on visiting the newborn.
Only Ertai, without even glancing at the person everyone treated like a treasure, stared nervously inside, wishing he could rush in immediately.
Cailian's eyes were glued to the door, not glancing at the child surrounded by the crowd.
She had a bad feeling.
The only person she cared about from beginning to end was her Nian Nian.
"Oh no! Oh no! The princess is bleeding heavily and it won't stop—"
Before long, the midwife's panicked voice could be heard, her hands covered in blood as she pushed open the door.
The midwife's words snapped Ertai's tension, which had been building up since he was about to give birth. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and rushed straight in without thinking.
Cailian also took off running inside.
"Empress—"
The old Buddha, who had been turning his prayer beads, suddenly lost his string of beads, which rolled all over the ground. He could no longer care about the beads and swayed as he did so.
"Your Majesty—"
The Empress's hands were also ice-cold.
The group disregarded everything and rushed inside.
...
"Nian'er, Nian'er, don't leave me."
Ertai's hands, which were holding Chen Nian, were trembling.
"I'm sorry, I have to break my promise."
Meeting Ertai's panicked and frightened eyes, Chen Nian managed a weak smile, his face deathly pale.
