"Midwife, call the midwife!"
Qingzhu shouted and carefully helped Jiang Li back to the hall.
"My queen, please be patient, the midwife will be here soon, right here!"
It happened that at this moment, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came rushing over from the palace where they lived. After hearing Qingzhu's voice outside the door, they strode to Fengyi Palace.
"Li'er, what's wrong with Li'er?"
"Don't be afraid, my daughter, Dad is here!"
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang strode to Fengyi Palace, but when they reached the door, Mother Jiang stopped Father Jiang.
"Master, Li'er is about to give birth. Please wait here. I'll go in and accompany you!"
"Okay, okay, Madam, please go quickly, Madam, please go quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father stopped where he was and urged Jiang's mother to go in quickly.
The midwives who had been waiting in the palace for a long time quickly rushed over, and the palace servants also brought hot water into the hall basin after basin.
The entire Fengyi Palace was caught in a tense atmosphere.
Jiang Li had already been helped by Qingzhu and the palace maids to lie on the bed, and Jiang's mother quickly came to the bedside.
"Don't be afraid, Li'er. I'm here. I'll always be here with you."
Mother Jiang's eyes reddened, and she leaned over, touched Jiang Li's head and comforted her softly.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Jiang Li twitched the corners of her mouth to show relief. Apart from her pale face, there was no trace of tension or fear on her face.
Jiang Li, who had already used the pain-relieving drug in advance, did not feel any pain except for the feeling of her amniotic fluid breaking just now.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, she frowned as if in pain.
"Please step aside, Madam. We are here to deliver the Queen's baby!"
After preparing the items needed for delivery, several midwives came to the bed.
Mother Jiang sat beside the bed and held Jiang Li's hand tightly: "You guys take care of your delivery, I'll stay here with Li'er."
How could Jiang's mother bear to let her daughter face the pain and fear of childbirth alone? Although she couldn't help Jiang Li with the birth, being by her side was better than listening to her endure the pain outside the palace.
"Don't be afraid, Madam. The maidservant and Madam are here! Madam and the baby in your belly will be safe!"
Looking at Qingzhu and Jiang's mother Jiang Li with red eyes, she felt helpless. She was about to comfort them when she suddenly felt a strange pain in her stomach, interrupting what she was about to say.
"My water has broken, my lady, please push harder!"
"My lady, take a deep breath, don't be nervous, it will be fine soon, it will be fine soon!"
Several midwives were giving instructions and trying to comfort Jiang Li.
"Li'er, if it hurts, just bite my hand. Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll always be with you!"
Mother Jiang held Jiang Li's hand with one hand and raised the other hand to her mouth.
The palace maids and midwives in the palace each performed their duties and were busy with their tasks in an orderly manner.
Shen Tingsi, who was halfway there, was shocked when he heard the news that Jiang Li had given birth. He used his lightness skills to rush towards Fengyi Palace.
The Queen Mother, who came to Fengyi Palace to visit Jiang Li, saw the palace maids carrying water into the palace as soon as she arrived at the door. Her pupils shrank, and she quickly asked the palace maids to put down the sedan chair and strode into the palace.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"
The palace servant on duty outside the hall hurriedly bowed to salute when he saw the Queen Mother. Jiang's father, who was pacing outside the hall with an anxious look on his face, also looked towards the Queen Mother when he heard the voice.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"
When Jiang's father lifted his robe and knelt down to salute, the Queen Mother stopped him directly: "Don't be so polite, my dear. How is Li'er?"
"The midwife has already gone in, and the lady is inside with her."
As Father Jiang spoke, his voice choked up and he quickly turned his head away and wiped his eyes.
When Jiang's mother gave birth, an accident happened, and two people were almost killed. Jiang's father was terrified. Even though Jiang's mother and Jiang Li were lucky enough to be safe in the end, this incident has always been a thorn in Jiang's father's heart. Whenever he thought of the thrill of that day, Jiang's father would secretly wipe away his tears.
That incident finally faded from Jiang's father's memory as time passed, but now the thrilling memory of Jiang Li's childbirth has resurfaced in Jiang's father's mind.
The Queen Mother had heard Jiang Li mention this matter and knew that Jiang's father was terrified and afraid that what happened that year would happen again, so she spoke a few words to comfort him.
"Don't worry, dear relatives. With the midwife and the imperial physician here, Li'er will be fine. I'll go in and take a look."
Although she tried to comfort Jiang's father not to worry, the Queen Mother unconsciously clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves.
She was about to go into the hall when a figure flashed past her!
