Chapter 338 The Emperor's Grandson
"I……"
Xiao Yuan hesitated a little, and just as he opened his mouth, Xu Shiming said anxiously:
"You also have something to see the prince?"
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Great." Xu Shiming finally smiled. "Mr. Xiao Yuan is a first-class swordsman. He must be very skilled. How about you take me over this wall and we go to meet the prince together?"
Without waiting for Xiao Yuan to answer, Xu Shiming stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yuan to the wall with a burning gaze.
"I'm ready, let's go!"
Xiao Yuan looked at him in astonishment for a while, then lowered his eyes, "No. Lan... The Crown Princess is giving birth, it's extremely dangerous, she must not be disturbed at this time."
Xu Shiming became anxious again and said that he had important matters to discuss with the Crown Prince, so how could he disturb the Crown Princess?
"The Ziwei Pavilion must be very busy at this moment. Your Highness the Crown Prince must accompany us outside. Any situation must be dealt with immediately and you must not be distracted, even if there is only a one in ten thousand risk." Xiao Yuan said.
In the dark where Xu Shiming couldn't see, Xiao Yuan's fists had already been clenched tightly.
His beloved was suffering for their child, but he could only wait from afar in this capacity, unable to do anything.
How can this feeling not make people feel heartbroken?
Xu Shiming was a little annoyed. What he was going to say concerned the safety of the entire Eastern Palace. The prince was only accompanying the birth, not delivering the baby himself. He was just distracted and listened to a few words he said. How could he delay the Crown Princess giving birth?
Xiao Yuan is not a difficult or unreasonable person on normal days, but at this moment he suddenly became stubborn and unreasonable.
"Forget it if you don't care. I'll find a way to get in myself!"
Xu Shiming was about to leave when Xiao Yuan suddenly stood in front of him.
"The Crown Princess is at the critical moment of life and death. I will not let you trespass into Ziwei Pavilion." Xiao Yuan's tone was firm.
Xu Shiming was so angry that he laughed.
It was the Crown Princess who gave birth to the child, not his wife.
Is it necessary to be so nervous?
Besides, I just want to see the prince!
The two men's eyes met, and Xu Shiming finally succumbed to the determination in Xiao Yuan's eyes.
He waved his hands unhappily, put his hands on his hips, and paced back and forth quickly, thinking of a solution.
This guy Xiao Yuan is inexplicable. He is as stubborn as a bull and I can't beat him.
Xiao Yuan stopped him from entering the inner courtyard, but it was almost dawn. Yan Xiuyun would go to court at dawn, and he had no time to discuss countermeasures with him. If the Third Prince suddenly attacked him in the court, Yan Xiuyun would be unprepared and would be unable to fight back.
What should I do? What should I do?
Xu Shiming paced back and forth faster and faster.
There was a faint glimmer of light in the sky. Xu Shiming looked up and saw that the clouds in the east were dyed with a light pink and orange color.
The first ray of sunshine in the early morning quickly illuminates the shadows of all things and dispels the haze of the night.
Xu Shiming's slightly narrow eyes were fixed on the ray of sunlight. The clouds in the sky were sparse, and it looked like today would be a sunny day.
The anxiety on his face seemed to be dispelled little by little by the morning light as the night turned dark.
"Mr. Xiao Yuan." Xu Shiming suddenly spoke, his tone had returned to calm, and he retracted his gaze to look at Xiao Yuan.
"The matter I want to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince concerns the safety of the entire Eastern Palace. I don't think you want anything to happen to the Eastern Palace, do you?"
Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment, thinking that Xu Shiming still wanted to persuade him to take him into the inner courtyard.
He didn't want anything to happen to the Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace, all for Xin'er's sake, but Xin'er's safety was more important to him than anything else.
"I'm not going in." Xu Shiming said.
Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have thought of another way that may be able to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the entire Eastern Palace, but I need your help." Xu Shiming said, looking into Xiao Yuan's eyes.
"good."
Xiao Yuan didn't hesitate at all this time.
"I have to go out for a while now. Please prepare the following things before the hour of You and wait for me in the East Palace."
Xu Shiming then mentioned a few things, and Xiao Yuan wrote them all down, saying that these were not difficult to handle.
Xu Shiming knew that Xiao Yuan was a trustworthy person as long as he didn't do anything wrong. After confirming with him, he hurried out of the East Palace.
He asked for a fast horse and headed straight for the Armory.
…
Before long, the cry of a baby was finally heard in Ziwei Pavilion.
"Your Highness, the Queen has given birth to a boy! He's the Emperor's eldest grandson!"
As the midwife's joyful voice rang out, the entire East Palace suddenly became jubilant, and everyone ran around to tell each other.
Zhou Liangdi, Qin Yuwei and the prince's other concubines had been waiting in the courtyard all night. When they heard the good news, whether they were sincere or not, they all bowed and congratulated Yan Xiuyun.
"Congratulations to His Highness and His Majesty on the birth of their precious son. Having an imperial grandson is a blessing for our Eastern Palace!"
Zhou Liangdi was the first to step forward. She climbed onto Yan Xiuyun's arm, leaned half of her body on him, and said in a tender voice.
The jealousy that she couldn't hide in her eyes was clearly seen by Qin Yuwei who was not far away.
However, Qin Yuwei's mind is now more on the outside world. She wonders whether the Chen mother and daughter have been sent out of Jiangjing City by Lanlan.
Yan Xiuyun said a few perfunctory words to Zhou Liangdi, and couldn't wait to take the swaddling clothes from the midwife, with an unprecedented joy on her face.
When everyone's attention was focused on the baby, they surrounded Yan Xiuyun and vied with each other to say auspicious words, but Qin Yuwei was the only one who did not come forward.
She saw Dong Lanxin's personal maid Dong Zhu, two midwives in charge of the delivery, and several familiar maids surrounding Yan Xiuyun, and couldn't help but frowned.
Qin Yuwei walked over to a midwife and asked softly, "How is the queen?"
The midwife was still saying compliments like "May your young prince live a long and healthy life" in front of Yan Xiuyun, when she was suddenly pulled away by Qin Yuwei, and a look of impatience immediately appeared on her face.
"The Crown Princess gave birth successfully and is resting now."
After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Yan Xiuyun again, fearing that someone else would steal the limelight and she would lose out on her reward.
Qin Yuwei knew that the medical level in ancient times was limited, and giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell. Seeing that everyone was surrounding Yan Xiuyun, she hesitated for a moment and walked straight into Ziwei Pavilion.
Dong Lanxin's bedroom was on the second floor. Qin Yuwei went upstairs faster and faster, her beautiful brows furrowed more and more.
There was not a single servant serving in the huge Ziwei Pavilion at this moment!
A faint sound of pain was heard from Dong Lanxin's bedroom.
Qin Yuwei pushed open the door and saw blood flowing down the bed to the ground!
