A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 2027 Self-deprecation, no self-blame or guilt
My master...
The secret guard stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth, and stood up straight. At the same time, Xuan Shaoqi felt a chill on his back, and when he turned around, he saw the Ninth Prince hurried over...
"You're here?" Xuan Shaoqi looked at the Ninth Prince who was gradually approaching, his eyes slightly raised, a look of contempt, and a blatant provocation to the Ninth Prince.
He looked down on the Ninth Uncle. After getting Qingchen, he not only did not know how to cherish and protect Qingchen, but also hurt Qingchen. Such a man was not worthy of Qingchen's wholehearted love.
The meaning in Xuan Shaoqi's eyes was too obvious, and the Ninth Prince wanted to pretend that he didn't know. When the Ninth Prince passed by Xuan Shaoqi, he paused and said coldly: "Xuan Shaoqi, it's not your turn to comment on my affairs."
Obviously, he heard what Xuan Shaoqi just said...
Xuan Shaoqi was not afraid to say such things. When he heard the Ninth Prince calling himself that, he sneered again: "The Ninth Prince is supreme, with the power of life and death. What a great power. Your Majesty, rest assured, I dare not interfere in your affairs. I would like to remind your Majesty that since you are now in a high position and have great power, you must always keep your airs and do not do things that are inconsistent with your status and disturb others' peace."
"Others? I think you are that someone else." The Ninth Prince looked a little arrogant, and it was obvious that he had reason to be proud.
No matter what, Feng Qingchen has been his from the beginning to the end, and the child Feng Qingchen is giving birth to now is also his. Xuan Shaoqi is just an outsider.
He holds both the kingdom and the beauties in his hands, and no one can snatch them away from him.
Seeing the Ninth Prince's arrogant look, Xuan Shaoqi felt like fighting, but now was obviously not a good time to fight, so Xuan Shaoqi turned his face away with disdain.
"Qingchen doesn't want to see you at all." After saying this, Xuan Shaoqi walked in. The secret guard stepped forward to stop him again, but was stopped by the Ninth Prince: "Let him in."
"Even if you wait outside the delivery room, the child and Qingchen are mine. They have nothing to do with you." The latter sentence was obviously said to Xuan Shaoqi.
"Boring." Xuan Shaoqi walked forward without even turning his head. But he was wondering where the Ninth Prince got the news from and how he got it so quickly.
Even if the secret guards immediately spread the news that Qingchen was about to give birth, the Ninth Prince would not be able to show up at this time, unless...
The Ninth Prince has been outside the Feng Mansion!
However, tonight is New Year's Eve, and there is also the matter of Nanling's fall. The Ninth Prince should be entertaining all the ministers in the main hall at this time. How could he have time to come to Feng Mansion?
Unable to figure it out, Xuan Shaoqi stopped thinking about it. Nothing was more important than Qingchen now.
Xuan Shaoqi thought walking was too slow, so he took two steps and then started running. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he started to move, he saw a gust of wind passing by. When he looked clearly, the figure of the Ninth Prince had disappeared in front of him...
"Childish!" You're going to compete with him for this? Dong Lingjiu is really going too far. Xuan Shaoqi cursed, but it was useless. He lost the initiative and was destined not to be the first to arrive outside the delivery room.
Before the Ninth Prince arrived, he heard chaotic noises outside the delivery room. There were voices of the midwife and the maid, but not Feng Qingchen's.
Isn't childbirth very painful? Why didn't Qingchen scream?
The Ninth Prince's heart tightened, and regardless of whether his body could bear it, he increased his speed again, jumped directly over the wall and jumped into the yard.
"What's wrong with your girl?" At this moment, the Ninth Prince didn't care. The women in the yard disgusted him. He just stopped a maid and asked.
The little maid was holding a basin and was about to get some hot water when she was suddenly pulled back. She didn't even look at who it was and angrily pushed the Ninth Prince away: "It's not yet born. Can't you see that everyone is busy? Stand aside."
After saying that, he ran out without realizing that he had just scolded the emperor. Later, whenever he thought about this incident, his legs would tremble with fear, but he couldn't help feeling proud.
The Ninth Prince's face darkened, not because he was angry at the maid for ignoring him, but because she didn't answer his question. The Ninth Prince continued to go inside. People were coming and going in the room, and they were all women. As soon as the Ninth Prince stepped in, he couldn't help but frown. He wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, but he didn't know who to find.
Feng Qingchen went into labor very quickly. As soon as she lay down in the delivery room, her birth canal opened. The midwife also said that she was about to give birth and asked everyone to prepare hot water and cloth strips.
The people in the room were busy, walking hurriedly, wishing they had an extra pair of hands. They had no time to look at who was in front of them.
The Ninth Prince walked around the room but didn't find anyone to question. Just as he was about to enter the delivery room, Empress Dowager Xie came out. When she lifted the curtain and saw the Ninth Prince, Empress Dowager Xie was stunned for a moment and completely forgot to salute. She called out in a daze, "Your Majesty?"
Who notified the emperor? Why did he come at this time? Is the palace so close to Feng Mansion?
"Well. How is Qingchen?" The Ninth Prince took a step back and distanced himself from Empress Dowager Xie.
"Ah..." Empress Dowager Xie finally reacted: "I give..."
Empress Dowager Xie was about to pay her respects, but the maids who were busy working in the room froze in place when they heard Emperor Taizong Xie pause. They waited until Empress Dowager Xie paid her respects before they remembered that they had to pay their respects. However, they were interrupted by the Ninth Prince with a cold look: "Do what you have to do." That was why he did not reveal his identity when he came in, for fear that these people would delay Qingchen's business because of the formalities.
"What happened to Qingchen?" The Ninth Prince asked again. Empress Dowager Xie quickly lowered the curtain and walked to a corner. She said seriously, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Qingchen is fine."
Very good? The Ninth Prince frowned: "Why didn't she scream?"
Isn't giving birth supposed to be painful?
"Scream?" Empress Dowager Xie was a little confused, then she thought of women screaming in pain during childbirth. Empress Dowager Xie understood and quickly explained, "Qingchen is accumulating strength. If she screams too much now, she will have no strength during childbirth. Although Qingchen has been well taken care of after this pregnancy, she was really injured and suffered a loss before. The childbirth was also very dangerous. The midwife is worried that Qingchen will not have the strength during childbirth, so she is advising Qingchen to eat more and try not to waste her energy."
"Isn't she in pain?" Through the curtain, the Ninth Prince could hear Feng Qingchen's painful voice. The sound was like drum beats, hitting the tip of his heart again and again. It didn't hurt, but it was swollen and uncomfortable, as if something was about to jump out of his heart...
The Ninth Prince's eyes were swollen, and he stared at the curtain intently...
His Qingchen, the only woman he wanted to protect in his life, he would rather get hurt himself than let her feel pain, but the result was that she always felt pain because of him.
Time and again...If he said he didn't blame himself or feel guilty, that would be a lie. But no matter how much he blamed himself or felt guilty, it couldn't change the facts that had already happened. He now only hoped that Qingchen could give birth safely, just this one child...
From now on, he will never let her feel any pain again! He will never let her get hurt again!
