Qin Sheng launched his attack on the second day of autumn.
While Yue Rongheng was still in the palace, upon learning that the princess was about to give birth, he hurriedly rode back as fast as he could.
The screams coming from inside the house were heart-wrenching and sent chills down one's spine.
Yue Rongheng asked the people in the courtyard, "Didn't they say there were still more than ten days left? How come it suddenly started earlier than expected?"
His face was frighteningly cold, and the servants beside him trembled with fear, not daring to breathe.
"Your Highness... the imperial physician said it might be related to the princess's unfavorable fetal position, but the midwife and female physician are inside, so you..."
Besides, childbirth has always been a life-or-death situation for women.
In the delivery room.
The room was filled with the smell of blood. Qin Sheng's baby was in an abnormal position, making childbirth more difficult for her than for other women in labor.
Her voice was hoarse from screaming, and the female doctor touched her belly to help the baby move in the right position, while loudly whispering something in her ear.
But Qin Sheng was drowsy and could barely hear.
It hasn't even been an hour since she started, but she feels like she's used up all her strength. Her whole body feels weak and she has no strength left.
Consciousness is gradually fading away.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! You can't sleep! You can't sleep!"
"Let's hold on a little longer, it'll be out soon! Please stay alert! Hang in there!" the female doctor shouted loudly in Qin Sheng's ear.
"Ah Sheng!"
Qin Sheng's fading consciousness was rekindled by this sentence. She was covered in sweat and tried hard to open her eyes to see.
Despite the advice of others, Yue Rongheng insisted on entering.
He knelt beside the bed, gripping Qin Sheng's hand tightly with one hand, "I'll stay with you, don't be afraid..."
"..."
"Your Highness...you...you haven't named the child yet? Ah...I...I..."
Qin Sheng screamed in agony again, her consciousness fluctuating between clarity and confusion, until finally, at dusk, the baby was born.
The female physician wrapped the child up and brought him over to show Yue Rongheng: "Your Highness, it's a young prince!"
The Regent's Palace finally had an heir, which was a cause for great joy, but Yue Rongheng didn't even glance at the child.
Qin Sheng had fainted from the pain, and Emerald was wiping her down.
"Thank you for your hard work, Asheng." Yue Rongheng walked over, took the handkerchief from Emerald's hand, and carefully wiped the sweat from Qin Sheng's forehead and cheeks.
...
It took Qin Sheng almost two months to recover this time.
The young heir of the Regent's Palace is named Yue Rong Jingming, a name given by Yue Rong Heng with a wave of his hand.
Another winter has arrived.
Qin Sheng and several maids were embroidering together in the warm pavilion when Qiao'er told them about the things that had happened at the Yin family recently.
"...I heard he's crippled in one leg and goes crazy every now and then in the mansion. All the concubines in the mansion have run away."
It refers to Yin Wenxiao.
It is said that he lost money gambling at a casino some time ago and tried to renege on his debt, but the casino staff broke his leg.
Now, when Qin Sheng hears anything related to the Yin family, he is no longer surprised.
Those people and those events are long gone from her memory.
Before long, Yue Rongheng returned, and the maids tactfully withdrew, even the wet nurse who was holding the young prince left.
Yue Rongheng warmed his hands first, then hugged Qin Sheng before picking up his son, who was looking around with wide eyes.
"Let's go to Jiangnan when spring comes."
While playing with his son, Yue Rongheng said to Qin Sheng, "Then we'll take the road to Wuyue Kingdom, where their king has invited us to attend the Elephant Festival."
Qin Sheng was worried about her son: "What about Jingming?"
"Let my eldest sister help take care of her," Yue Rongheng decided.
"..."
at night.
After the couple washed up, they lay in bed. Suddenly, Yue Rongheng said, "I asked Physician Wen to get me some pills. After taking them, I will no longer be able to have children."
Qin Sheng was startled. "Don't do anything reckless! You're going to take any medicine you want!"
"fine."
Yue Rongheng held her and sighed, "Giving birth is something you only need to experience once. I don't want you to suffer again."
"But……"
Yue Rongheng stopped her from saying anything more, saying, "Having you and Jingming as my only child is enough for me in this life."
...
In the fifteenth year of the Da Xiang era, Regent Yue Rongheng formally returned all power to the young emperor.
The family of three settled in the Jiangnan region.
One day, in the depths of winter.
After Qin Sheng woke up from her afternoon nap, the heavy snow outside had stopped, and she heard her son's exclamation coming from the yard.
When I looked out from the doorway, I saw that the father and son were building a snowman in the yard.
Even now, Qin Sheng still occasionally has dreams, and when she wakes up, she often can't help but wonder if she has really been reborn, or if it was all just a dream.
