Is he dead?
The fire was so big, he must be dead, right?
In the Yanxi Palace, the imperial concubine sat alone on a high seat. She was so nervous that she tightly grasped the armrests beside her with both hands, and even blue veins appeared on the back of her fair hands.
Burn it, the brighter the better!
As long as that bitch Lin Chunhuan and that little evildoer die in this fire, she will not be afraid of anything!
She was the only concubine who had given birth to a child for His Majesty. This harem was still her world! Her crazy thoughts filled the Imperial Concubine's eyes with a bit of madness.
However, the fire in Lingxi Palace had not been put out yet, and Chief Steward Fang had already rushed into the inner hall with a team of guards with a cold face. Without saying a word, he directly detained the imperial concubine to the ground!
"Your Highness, Xiao Dezi has confessed everything. The Emperor has ordered that you be temporarily detained in the Heavenly Prison until Your Highness gives birth safely."
"Production?!"
The imperial concubine raised her head suddenly, "Lin Chunhuan is not dead? She is not dead!"
"Heh." Steward Fang sneered, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine, is blessed by heaven, so nothing will happen to her. Not only that, you even saved His Majesty from the fire. Since you are so conscientious, please give up your position as the Imperial Concubine."
"When the little prince is born, this position will naturally be passed on to the virtuous concubine. How could she die so easily?"
"No... I don't believe it!" The imperial concubine suddenly struggled violently, her eyes bloodshot. "I am the imperial concubine. I gave birth to a prince! I gave birth to a prince!"
Glancing at the imperial concubine with disdain, Chief Steward Fang frowned and took a half step back. "Alright, take him away. If we delay the emperor's mission, we'll all be in big trouble."
"I don't believe it. I want to see the Emperor. I want to see the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, I am innocent..."
As she was dragged away, the imperial concubine's screams became more and more miserable.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Lin Chunhuan, and no one paid attention to what was happening in the Yanx Palace.
"Bless me, Bodhisattva! May the gods bless me... I must be safe, I must be safe!"
Outside the Weiyang Palace, the empress dowager paced back and forth restlessly, looking into the inner hall from time to time.
Every scream from inside made her heart skip a beat.
Originally, childbirth for a concubine was considered a very unlucky event and would never happen in the Weiyang Palace.
But Lin Chunhuan's situation was too urgent. After rushing out of the fire, she immediately lost consciousness. Her skirt was covered with glaring bloodstains, and it was obvious that she could not delay for a moment.
At this special time, the Queen Mother did not care about the many rules and directly had Lin Chunhuan carried to the Weiyang Palace, which was closest to the Lingxi Palace.
After a long while, Wen Yunxiao rushed in with a pale face. He didn't even care about the empress dowager and rushed straight to the inner hall. The smell of alcohol still lingered on his body.
But the drunkenness has been completely dispelled by the current situation!
"Huan'er, my Huan'er!"
"Emperor!" Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately reached out and grabbed Wen Yunxiao. "This is a life-or-death situation for Concubine Xian. You are the Emperor. The midwife inside will only become more nervous when she sees you, and Concubine Xian will be in greater danger!"
After hearing this, Wen Yunxiao finally calmed down and stopped insisting on rushing in.
But those eyes were still red.
"Mother, will Huan'er..."
For a moment, Wen Yunxiao's mind was filled with panic about the possibility of losing Lin Chunhuan. He was as helpless as a child, holding the empress dowager's sleeve tightly.
He didn't even think about the safety of his unborn child until now.
How could the Queen Mother not understand that her son... was probably really in love with her?
"No!" The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Wen Yunxiao's hand. "Although Huan'er was born prematurely, the midwife said that her body is very suitable for childbirth. There shouldn't be any major problems. We just need to wait patiently."
Although saying this.
But they were all women, so how could the Queen Mother not know that when a woman gives birth, it is like walking through the gates of hell, and her life or death depends entirely on God's will.
But the emperor was in this state now. If she started to panic, the situation would be out of control.
Wen Yunxiao nodded heavily and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Yes, Huan'er has always been in good health. The imperial physician also said that there will be no problem with this pregnancy. There will definitely be no problem, definitely."
He didn't know whether it was to reassure the empress dowager or himself, but he repeated these words over and over again, his eyes frequently looking towards the inner hall, his arms trembling slightly.
Everything revealed that he was afraid, very afraid...
“Ah! It hurts so much…”
In the inner hall, Lin Chunhuan shouted dutifully.
In fact, after using the props in the sachet, apart from being able to feel something falling down in her body, she didn't feel any pain at all.
After once again feeling that the brocade bag was really a good thing, Lin Chunhuan shouted again.
Although this was her first childbirth, she had seen pigs run before she had eaten pork. If she acted too calm, it would inevitably arouse people's suspicion, so she would scream from time to time.
But other than not feeling any pain.
She showed all the expected physiological symptoms, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead, and her face looked pale and weak.
There was also a feeling of wanting to go to the bathroom, which made Lin Chunhuan particularly embarrassed. She couldn't help but wonder in her mind, could it be that she had pooped...
As basin after basin of blood was carried out from the inner hall, the emperor's face became paler and paler.
As time went by, the empress dowager was able to comfort the emperor at first, but now she was too nervous to speak anymore and frequently looked up at the inner hall.
Finally, at dawn, a bright cry resounded through the sky!
"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress Dowager, the Concubine Xian has safely given birth to a little prince!" The midwife came out joyfully to announce the good news, not even caring about the blood stains on her hands.
He was laughing so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears!
This is the only prince of Daning. Now that mother and child are safe, those of them who were responsible for the delivery may receive generous rewards!
The breath that had been held in his heart relaxed, Wen Yunxiao was shaky and almost fell down, and the empress dowager fell directly into the chair and did not recover for a long time.
When the midwife brought the swaddled baby to him, the emperor reached out his trembling hands and carefully took the baby in his arms.
He has another child!
Heaven will not abandon him, nor will it abandon Daning. He heard that Yunxiao had another son!
The child in her arms looked smaller than other newborn babies because he was born prematurely. He had a rosy face, thin arms and small hands.
Without even opening his eyes, he stretched out his hands to grab him.
Wen Yunxiao was stunned for a long time before he placed the child in the Queen Mother's arms, "Mother, I'm going to go see Huan'er."
