After Shen Ziyu returned from the imperial prison, he claimed to be ill and asked for a month's leave.
Qin Yanning's due date is approaching, and he wants to stay at home and spend time with Qin Yanning.
What's more, claiming to be sick was his last move.
Shen Ziyu knew that the emperor was soft-hearted and Shen Yuanan was also his son whom he loved dearly. Even though Shen Yuanan had the blood of the Kong family, the emperor could not bear to take action against him.
But Shen Ziyu also knew that if he wanted to take that position, Shen Yuanan must die.
The reason why he pretended to be sick was to give Shen Yuanan the opportunity to stage a palace coup.
The Kong family is gone now, but the Queen Mother’s desire for power will never die.
Shen Ziyu spread rumors that the emperor's next step would be to settle accounts with Shen Yuanan. After all, he had received many benefits from the Kong family.
Shen Yuanan is now in a dilemma, and for his own sake he will definitely choose to take a risk.
At that time, the secret plots that Empress Dowager Kong has planted in the court for many years will automatically surface.
He will not let any of them go, including Shen Yuanan, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Liang.
So, Shen Ziyu, who had been extremely busy throughout Qin Yanning's pregnancy, finally got the chance to take care of his little princess.
Qin Yanning is now in the late stage of pregnancy. Although she has the help of many system tools, the adverse reactions of her pregnancy are not serious, but her calves are still a little swollen.
Every day when Shen Ziyu has time, he will help Qin Yanning soak her feet and massage her calves.
He has practiced martial arts for many years, and his massage techniques are neither too light nor too heavy, which is very well received by Qin Yanning.
In order to make the news of his serious illness more credible, Shen Ziyu sent people to find many doctors and bring them back to the Regent's Palace.
Mixed in with these doctors were Xu Guanlan's junior sister Xu Wei and several midwives who entered the mansion together.
Xu Wei is different from Xu Guanlan. She is most proficient in maternal and child diseases. She was specially invited by Shen Ziyu to deliver Qin Yanning.
Xu Wei and Xu Guanlan are also a pair of happy enemies.
Qin Yanning heard from Chang Yin that the reason why Xu Guanlan defected to the prince was because he failed to confess his love to Xu Wei.
He came to the capital in order to leave that sad place in Jiangnan.
However, Xu Wei has not married in these years, so it is possible that there is still hope between the two of them.
Qin Yanning was enjoying the conversation while cracking melon seeds, but Lan Yue drove Chang Yin out.
"The princess is about to give birth, so please don't talk nonsense in front of her, or you will make the young master as talkative as you."
Seeing Lan Yue chasing him away, Chang Yin quickly begged for mercy.
Qin Yanning looked at the two of them and slowly drank a sip of milk. How come she didn't notice that Lan Yue and Chang Yin were so close.
After Chang Yin left, Qin Yanning asked with interest, "How long have you been with Chang Yin?"
Lan Yue was stunned by the question and lowered her head to rub the corner of her clothes.
"I haven't agreed to him yet."
Qin Yanning chuckled, "Why? Do you think Chang Yin's smooth talk is unreliable?"
Lan Yue shook her head, "I can't bear to leave the princess."
"If you have Chang Yin in your heart, you might as well give it a try with him."
"If he dares to bully you, I'll beat him up until his face is covered in blood. But if you don't want to get married, I won't force you."
Qin Yanning looked at Lan Yue. Everyone in the Qin family had flattered the weak, but Lan Yue was the only one who remained loyal to her. She hoped that Lan Yue could be happy.
Lan Yue nodded.
A few days later, Qin Yanning was dragging Shen Ziyu to play chess when he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
Qin Yanning knew that she was in labor, so he quickly asked Shen Ziyu to call Xu Wei and the midwife over.
Shen Ziyu stood up hurriedly, without even buttoning his coat, and rushed out.
Lan Yue and several other maids had already made preparations. They were now systematically removing the curtains and delivering hot water into the delivery room.
When Xu Wei arrived, Qin Yanning had just pinched himself.
She had already taken pain-relieving pills, and in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, she half-seriously cried out in pain a few times.
Shen Ziyu was anxious when he heard this outside the door, and he wanted to rush in to accompany Qin Yanning immediately.
Lan Yue had already received Qin Yanning's order, saying that she didn't want Shen Ziyu to see her giving birth.
Of course, Qin Yanning had no grudges. She was just afraid that Shen Ziyu would discover her secret that she didn't feel any pain during childbirth.
Although she and Shen Ziyu are husband and wife, she still has to keep the matter of the system props a secret.
Pian Lanyue was stubborn and was fooled by Shen Ziyu in just a few words.
When Qin Yanning saw Shen Ziyu entering the delivery room wearing a black eye mask, she suddenly felt speechless.
Lan Yue helped Shen Ziyu to Qin Yanning's side, and Shen Ziyu held one of Qin Yanning's hands.
"Ning'er, I know you love beauty and don't want me to see you in such a mess. Just take it as a plea and let me stay with you, okay?"
Shen Ziyu had said this much, and Qin Yanning couldn't refuse anymore.
Xu Wei sighed, "Let's wait until after the birth to make love. Now let's concentrate first."
Following Xu Wei's guidance, a loud cry sounded in the house.
Shen Ziyu was very curious, but he didn't dare to take off the blindfold, for fear of angering Qin Yanning.
Xu Wei cut the baby's umbilical cord, picked him up, and handed him to the midwife beside her. "It's a little boy. Don't worry, there's another one."
Shen Ziyu couldn't sit still anymore after hearing this, but he also knew that this was an important moment for Qin Yanning to give birth, so he could only force himself not to affect Qin Yanning and Xu Wei.
Not long after, another child was born.
"It's a little girl, congratulations, Your Highness!" Xu Wei teased the little girl with her eyes closed in her arms.
Lan Yue stepped forward and simply wiped the sweat off Qin Yanning's face, and then Qin Yanning took off Shen Ziyu's blindfold.
