In the twenty-third year of Qingfeng, Tianji finally welcomed a great event: the emperor who had been seriously ill finally recovered.

In the Taiji Hall, Ning Xuan raised his hand and removed the silver needles from the emperor's body one by one: "Your Majesty is now well, and the remaining toxins in the body have been expelled. After this acupuncture, there is no need for me to enter the palace."

The emperor, who had been skinny and listless, now had a rosy complexion and breathed smoothly, as if he was no longer in trouble.

The emperor was overjoyed and said happily: "Thanks to the miracle doctor, you saved my life. If you have any wishes, just tell me and I will definitely fulfill them!"

Ning Xuan smiled and said nothing, slowly shaking his head: "I rescued Your Majesty because Your Majesty was not destined to die. It was God's will, and I was just following God's will. Now that the matter is over, I should take my leave."

The emperor originally wanted Ning Xuan to stay in the Imperial Hospital, but Ning Xuan was not interested in that.

Although Ning Xuan looked ordinary, he had an immortal aura, which made the emperor think that perhaps God really sent Ning Xuan to save him, the true dragon emperor.

After thinking about it this way, the emperor finally agreed to Ning Xuan's idea and let him leave.

Ning Xuan once again stood outside the gate of the imperial palace, with Concubine Xian beside him who came out to see him off.

Still remembering the scene when he first met Concubine Xian, Ning Xuan secretly shook his head and said seriously: "Your Highness is a person of noble status, but I still want to advise you that in this palace, the way to survive is to abide by the law. I hope that Your Highness will take care of yourself. I will take my leave."

After leaving a few words, Ning Xuan bowed and saluted, then left without looking back.

The virtuous concubine who was left there suddenly changed her expression, and her dignified and virtuous look turned into mean and vicious in an instant.

She had long been fed up with Ning Xuan. During the time she was helping the emperor remove the poison, no matter how hard she tried to please him, Ning Xuan remained indifferent.

I guess he is still holding a grudge against me for the unpleasantness when we first met. He pretends to be a decent person, but in fact he holds a grudge more than anyone else.

Concubine Xian didn't care. She snorted coldly and returned to Taiji Hall, where the emperor was still waiting for her.

Ning Xuan arrived at the right time and solved her urgent problem in time. Since Ning Xuan was not seeking fame or wealth, Concubine Xian simply said that Ning Xuan was a miracle doctor found for the emperor by her mother's family far away in southern Xinjiang.

As expected, the emperor's attitude towards the southern border has changed greatly. Yesterday, he even revealed his idea of ​​inviting the prince of southern border to come to Beijing.

The prince of Southern Xinjiang is her biological brother. If he could come to the capital at this moment, it would be a great help to Chu Han.

The emperor came to court again. Chu Han and Chu Xuan each kept to themselves and wisely chose to avoid the limelight.

A few months passed like this, and the court and the harem were peaceful.

Concubine Liang was getting older and it was becoming more and more inconvenient for her to move around. Lu Yanluo would often come to the palace to talk to her and prepared all the things she would need for delivery in advance.

After the last miscarriage, the fetus in Concubine Liang's belly was like a lost one to the emperor, so he paid special attention to the safety of Yilan Palace. The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were all transferred from Taiji Palace, making it difficult for anyone with ulterior motives to take action.

Just as Concubine Liang was quietly waiting for the birth of her baby, the hot summer passed and the Mid-Autumn Festival came in a flash.

On that day, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan brought the siblings Chu Yao and Chu Yuan into the palace.

After entering the palace, Lu Yanluo separated from Chu Xuan and took the brother and sister to Yilan Palace to visit Concubine Liang.

"Mom, do you want to take Yuanyuan to see her younger brother?" Chu Yuan heard yesterday that a lady in the palace was pregnant, so he began to think about having a little brother, which made Lu Yanluo very upset.

"How can my brother come out so soon? Mother will take you to see my brother's mother first."

[You little brat, you talk more as you get older! You’re not cute at all! ]

Chu Xuan stood there, looking at the backs of the mother and her two children with tenderness on his face as they left. It was a long while before he turned around and left.

Compared to the outside, the Yilan Palace was a little deserted. The palace maids and eunuchs were all doing the same thing as usual, except that the mooncakes on the table seemed a little more appropriate.

When Concubine Liang heard the servants say that Lu Yanluo had brought the children into the palace, she had been waiting in the hall early. When she saw the three people coming in, she hurriedly stood up with her bulging belly to greet them.

"You are finally here. I thought you would not come to see me today."

Concubine Liang became increasingly ill and seldom went out of the palace. Only Lu Yanluo came to talk to her and relieve her boredom.

Lu Yanluo smiled and brought the two children over to show them to Concubine Liang: "How could that be? I agreed to bring the children over for you to see."

Concubine Liang was particularly fond of Chu Yuan and Chu Yao, praising them repeatedly and giving them many gifts.

Chu Yuan was innocent and brave. He raised his hand and stroked the bulging belly of Concubine Liang, and asked, "Mother, is my little brother in Concubine Liang's belly?"

Concubine Liang held Chu Yuan's hand and let her feel the fetal movement: "Yes, my brother is in my aunt's belly, you will be able to meet him soon."

"Then let your brother come out earlier. Yuanyuan wants to see his brother sooner."

Chu Yuan's childish words were particularly endearing. Lu Yanluo originally wanted to make a few jokes, but just as she was about to open her mouth, Concubine Liang grabbed her hand and her face turned a little bad.

"Yanluo, no... It's bad, my water seems to have broken..."

"What?" Lu Yanluo stood up in surprise and checked. Lady Liang's dress was already wet. She was really about to give birth!

At this moment, Lu Yanluo really didn't know what to feel. It seemed that the child in Concubine Liang's belly was really destined to be with Chu Yuan.

The two children were hurriedly taken out, and then Concubine Liang was carried into the delivery room that had been prepared in advance. The midwife and all necessary things were already prepared. Everything was ready.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo wanted to go back outside and wait, but as soon as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the midwife who was delivering the baby for Concubine Liang out of the corner of her eye.

Her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this midwife. Her eyes were evasive, her movements were disorganized, and she looked distracted no matter how you looked at her.

"Come here, capture this midwife!" Lu Yanluo gave an order, and the guards outside the hall immediately opened the door and came in to capture the midwife.

Lu Yanluo stepped forward and searched the midwife's body, and found a small paper bag around her waist. When she opened it, she saw that it was arsenic, which is fatal when it comes into contact with blood!

Lu Yanluo's eyes turned cold, and she shouted, "This person intends to murder Concubine Liang and the heir. Lock her up temporarily and hold her accountable after Concubine Liang gives birth!"

The most important thing now is to deliver the baby for Concubine Liang. At this moment, Lu Yanluo no longer dares to rely on others, so she has to deliver the baby for Concubine Liang herself.

Fortunately, everything went well, mother and child were safe, and the seventh prince of Tianji Kingdom was born.

Coming out of the delivery room, Lu Yanluo looked worried. The child was born safely, but everything had just begun.
