Because Xu Lingyi knew that she had the treasure of the immortals, giving birth would be a trip to the gates of hell for others, but for her, it was almost not dangerous and was even quite easy.
This is also the reason why she dared to get pregnant in this era.
"Uncle, don't worry, Aunt will be fine." Qi Yun supported Qi Yuan and comforted him.
But at this time Qi Yuan couldn't listen at all.
He felt dizzy and overwhelmed with anxiety and panic.
When he stumbled into the main courtyard, he only saw servants walking hurriedly, and did not hear any voice of Xu Lingyi.
Qi Yuan's heart stopped for a moment.
"Where's the princess?! Why is there no sound from the princess?!"
Eunuch Wang was startled when he met Qi Yuan's bloodshot eyes. He quickly hugged Qi Yuan's legs:
"Your Highness, Your Highness is fine. The midwife inside said that the princess is gathering her strength."
But such an explanation could not make Qi Yuan feel at ease.
He just wanted to rush in, but Eunuch Wang held his legs tightly, and Qi Yun also hurriedly pulled him back.
Qi Yun once again felt the emperor's uncle's love for his wife.
The emperor's uncle, who is always in control of the situation and remains calm in the face of praise or criticism, would now act like this for his wife.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has instructed me not to be impulsive and not to go in."
Eunuch Wang was also in a dilemma because both of them were his masters.
The Empress Dowager is very old and is the prince's biological mother.
At times like this, he still had to listen to the Empress Dowager.
Qi Yun also nodded quickly, "Uncle, if you go in now, I'm afraid you will only cause more trouble."
The servants inside would probably be nervous too.
At this time, the Empress Dowager also rushed over from the palace.
Seeing her son's appearance, the Empress Dowager quickly guessed what had happened.
"Just stand here with me. If you are truly worried, kneel down and burn incense and pray."
The Empress Dowager frowned, and for the first time she felt disgust towards her son.
"Yier is giving birth inside right now, and you look so depressed and desperate. It's not auspicious. Go away quickly and don't scare my little grandson."
The Empress Dowager was old and somewhat superstitious.
Qi Yuan: “…”
He didn't expect the Empress Dowager to say that.
"Yier! Yier!"
He knew he couldn't go in, but he still felt uneasy and shouted directly inside.
"Are you okay?"
"If anything happens, you must protect the boss!!"
Qi Yuan's voice was so loud that the Empress Dowager quickly covered his mouth and even slapped him a few times in anger.
She hadn't taught Qi Yuan a lesson in many years, having only beaten him when he was a child.
Now I really can't help it.
"What do you mean by protecting the elder and the younger? I think you are crazy. It must be that the mother and the child are safe and no one else is in trouble."
"Buddha bless you, Bodhisattva bless you... My son is talking nonsense, please don't blame him..."
Qi Yuan suddenly realized that he had spoken without thinking, but he did not regret saying it.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Although he had emphasized this to the midwife inside before, today he still wanted to let the midwife inside know the seriousness of the matter.
When Xu Lingyi heard Qi Yuan's voice outside, she felt a little warm in her heart.
Although there were some twists and turns between them, fortunately the result was good.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine."
The midwives all told her to conserve her strength as much as possible, but Xu Lingyi didn't find it difficult.
Even so, Xu Lingyi planned to play the game well so that these people wouldn't notice anything unusual.
But at this moment, she knew that Qi Yuan was worried about her, and she also knew that he had even been worried to the point of falling ill some time ago.
She couldn't help but speak.
Sure enough, when Qi Yuan outside heard Xu Lingyi's voice, he immediately rushed forward and even climbed to the door.
His face was pressed against the wooden door, and at this moment he had none of the aura of a royal noble.
The Empress Dowager originally wanted to say a few words, but in the end she just silently turned her Buddhist beads and didn't speak again.
"Yier, I will be with you outside the door, don't worry."
Qi Yuan shouted loudly inside, his voice hoarse and with a hint of nervousness.
Qi Yuan felt that every day was a long time, and the same was true for the Empress Dowager and Qi Yun.
The Empress Dowager knelt in front of the Buddha altar, extremely pious.
Qi Yun couldn't help but step forward to burn incense.
After all, he is the emperor's uncle's first child and his cousin.
Eunuch Wang used a handkerchief to wipe Qi Yuan's sweat from time to time.
He just hoped that the princess would give birth safely. He had already deeply realized that as long as the princess was fine, the prince would be fine too.
Only then can these slaves live a somewhat peaceful life.
If anything were to happen to the master inside, the situation in the palace would probably change again.
He will be by the prince's side from now on, and he will be the first to bear the brunt of the punishment.
Qi Yuan didn't know how long he had been standing outside. He just felt like a long time had passed, but there was still no movement inside.
This worry reached its peak when the slaves came out carrying basins of blood.
Qi Yuan almost fainted.
He grabbed an old woman with his big hands and asked, "What's going on in there? How is the princess now? Is she okay?!"
"Why is there so much blood? How did you deliver the baby?"
Qi Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and sinister, and his series of questions scared the man out of his wits.
I saw the basin in this man's hand fall, and his body was almost flying into the air.
Eunuch Wang quickly persuaded Qi Yuan, "Your Highness... please don't be anxious... put her down first."
"Your Highness, it's almost time. The baby will be born soon." The old woman spoke quickly.
Qi Yuan then put the man down. The old woman hurriedly picked up the things on the ground and ran to the kitchen trembling.
"Go stand aside and don't make trouble here." The Empress Dowager frowned.
But Qi Yuan just stared at the blood spilled on the ground, his face turned extremely pale.
The Grand Empress Dowager sighed, "If you stand at the door, the servants carrying water will be frightened when they see you. You can't help much at a time like this, so don't get in the way."
Seeing that Qi Yuan had no reaction, it was obvious that he could no longer hear anything.
The Empress Dowager gave Eunuch Wang a direct eye signal and he moved Qi Yuan away.
Qi Yuan looked inside in a daze. The joy he had just felt when he learned that Xu Lingyi was pregnant had slowly turned into anxiety over the past few months.
I don’t know how long it took.
From inside came the loud sound of a child crying, one after another.
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up.
Qi Yuan seemed to be awakened by the crying.
"Where's the princess?"
"How is the princess?"
Qi Yuan's first focus was on Xu Lingyi, and the nanny holding the child didn't even have time to speak.
"Two children?" The Empress Dowager stood there in a daze, her hands trembling with excitement.
Qi Yun was also a little surprised that there were two children.
Didn’t the Imperial Medical Office find out?
"Congratulations, Your Highness, and the Empress Dowager. Both mother and child are doing well. The Princess has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
