"Your Majesty, mother and child are safe. The queen gave birth to a little prince." The midwife was beaming.
This is a great joyous event. The emperor has a prince, and the reward money for these people is definitely not small.
Upon hearing this, the emperor burst into tears of joy.
He let go of all his strength and finally felt relieved at this moment.
The emperor's lips trembled, and his voice trembled slightly, "Let me see the prince."
Because this child was born prematurely, he looks thinner than other children.
The emperor's heart was filled with love and care, and he wished he could give everything he had to the child so that he wouldn't have to suffer any more in the future.
This is his child. After so many years, he finally has his own child again.
When he was nearly forty years old, he finally had his first prince! !
It shows that God still favors him!!
"Your Majesty, would you like to hold the little prince?"
The emperor held out his hand, but in the end, he hesitated and shook his head: "No, quickly take the child away and take good care of him. It's cold in the morning, don't let him see the wind."
The child was too small, so tiny that he was afraid that he would drop him, and even more afraid that he would not be able to control himself properly.
Now this child is a treasure in his heart, and he will not let anything happen to him, not even to himself.
He had to practice how to hold a child before he dared to hold him.
"How is Concubine De? I'll go see her."
Although he was happy to hear that mother and child were safe, he was still worried when he thought about how Xu Lingyi had been in the fire for a long time and then fell and gave birth prematurely. He needed to see her with his own eyes and talk to her to feel at ease.
In the delivery room, Xu Lingyi's face was extremely pale at this moment.
Although she has a golden finger, she has to give birth to the child by herself, and she has to go through the pain by herself, which is unavoidable.
She was afraid of running out of strength, so she didn't dare to scream loudly during delivery.
But it was really painful, and her lips were now bleeding from biting.
His body and head were covered in sweat, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.
Xu Lingyi thought that she must be looking extremely embarrassed at the moment.
But the emperor didn't care about all this. For the first time, he ignored her appearance.
The emperor leaned over and hugged her, his eyes red: "My beloved concubine, I want to thank you."
His tone was serious.
Xu Lingyi didn't need his thanks. She just needed him to stand on her side and give her and her child power.
"Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi's voice was too weak. "This is my duty..."
Although the emperor should indeed be grateful to her, without her he would not have been able to have children.
But of course she couldn't admit it.
The emperor put his hand over her mouth and interrupted her, his tone unnaturally gentle.
He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes: "You should have a good rest. I know you are tired. I won't disturb you. Just sleep peacefully."
He noticed that Xu Lingyi couldn't open her eyes, and she was obviously exhausted.
How could he bear to continue talking to her and prevent her from resting?
After seeing Xu Lingyi, the emperor went to see the empress dowager.
Not long after he arrived, the Queen Mother woke up.
"How is it?" This is what the Queen Mother asked.
The emperor saw that her hands were shaking constantly, and she was obviously extremely nervous.
The emperor did not dare to keep the secret and spoke quickly: "Mother, Xu gave birth to a prince safely."
The Queen Mother's lips trembled and her eyes turned red. She held the Emperor's hand tightly with great force: "Emperor, I heard correctly, didn't I? It's a prince?"
The emperor held the empress dowager's hands and nodded vigorously. "Mother, you heard correctly. The child is a little thin because he was born prematurely. I just asked the imperial physician, and he said that Concubine De can breastfeed him for a while and then take good care of him. There are so many people in the palace, so it should be no problem to raise the prince well."
The Queen Mother felt a little relieved after hearing this: "Quickly take me to see my precious grandson."
The Queen Mother couldn't help crying when she saw the child for the first time.
All the worries about the emperor's offspring over the years were finally relieved at this moment.
As long as this child grows up safely, the emperor will have an heir.
"The child looks like the emperor, just like you did when you were a child, just as handsome."
In fact, it is not obvious from such a young child, but in the eyes of the empress dowager, her grandson looks like the emperor in every way.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor looked at the child for a long time. Even though the child was sleeping at this time, the Empress Dowager thought the child was particularly cute and lively.
"How is Concubine De?" The empress dowager then remembered Xu Lingyi, and she couldn't help feeling regretful. The empress dowager knew very well that if it weren't for Xu Lingyi, there would be no such child.
She was just too happy.
"De Fei is fine, she just needs to take good care of herself during the next period of time."
The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief. For many years, Xu Lingyi was the only one in the harem who could give birth, which meant that she was the lucky star of their royal family.
"You must treat Xu well. She has suffered a lot this time." The Queen Mother thought of the fire.
"Did the Emperor find out who did it?"
The emperor nodded. Manager Zhang acted quickly and found that this matter was not difficult to investigate.
Concubine Li disappeared, and this time a disfigured corpse was found in Xu Lingyi's palace.
"It was Consort Li who set the fire." The emperor said.
The Queen Mother sighed, her guess was confirmed at this moment.
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke, "It's because I and the Emperor have been so lucky for too long. I've grown old and my heart has softened. I'm not as decisive and ruthless as I was in my youth. Instead, I almost ended up in big trouble."
"Ms. Xu was extremely lucky, so she was rescued. Even though she had a premature birth, she was able to give birth safely, and both mother and child are safe. But if there was just one mistake... I dare not think about it."
