"You two go find a midwife again, hurry up! Miss, Miss, don't panic, Ziling will support you, Miss! The Taoist priest said in the manor that this pregnancy is a sign of an imperial star descending to earth, you must hold on, Miss!"
Zi Ling kept calling out Ruan Yu Mu's name.
It was at this moment that Ruan Yumu realized how difficult it was for a woman, and she was terrified.
Where did that damn Qi Jingxuan go? I haven't looked for him for so long, and he's actually forgotten about me. And he's possessed by a woman, too. What a lecherous bastard, always playing around. He doesn't even bother to come and see me when I'm pregnant.
Ruan Yumu's stomach was aching in waves. None of the people in the room had any experience with childbirth, and since it was her first pregnancy and she was having a difficult delivery, the two midwives who came in were afraid of being beheaded, so they just glanced at her and left.

Rong'er had been working at Chengen Palace for a long time and had never seen so much silver. She immediately forgot the purpose of her visit and even begged Natsume to let her stay as a cleaning maid at Jingren Palace.
"We have no shortage of people in Jingren Palace, and the Emperor will take care of us. You may leave."
"Miss Natsume, my mistress is having a difficult childbirth. We beg Her Majesty the Empress to send a midwife and a royal physician!" Seeing that she couldn't seek refuge with them, Rong'er still spoke up for her mistress.
"It's just a beautiful woman giving birth, what's the big deal? Dongmei, just send a midwife over there."
"Thank you, Miss Xie."
