"Xiao Jing, eat more to replenish your strength so you'll have the energy to give birth later. After all, you're not carrying just one child; there are three in your belly. It will definitely take much more effort than for others."
Looking at so many ministers below, and so many eyes staring at her, Jiang Jingyue really couldn't bring herself to do it!
However, Qin Hanwu had already personally fed Jiang Jingyue, and she did not refuse, and was very happy to be fed by Qin Hanwu.
The ministers below wanted to speak, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Finally, a minister stepped forward and spoke to Qin Hanwu.
"Your Majesty, it is against the rules for you to bring the Empress to the morning court like this."
“That’s right! Your Majesty, since ancient times, women have not been allowed to interfere in politics. It is unacceptable for you to have the Empress here listening to us discuss politics.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Qin Han was instantly displeased.
"How is the Empress interfering in politics by being here? The Empress is about to give birth. I brought her to the morning court because I was worried about her. Why do you all have so many opinions?"
If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself; I don't like hearing them. Also, don't say anything that might anger me. My patience has its limits, and if you anger me, I can't guarantee I won't do something drastic.
As soon as Qin Hanwu uttered this threatening remark, the ministers below immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word in rebuttal.
They were afraid that if they said too much, the emperor would get angry and take action against them.
Jiang Jingyue kept eating, and Qin Hanwu kept feeding her.
This was the first time Jiang Jingyue had ever felt that attending the morning court session was such a boring thing.
"Your Majesty, how much longer will this morning court session last? It's so boring! I'm about to fall asleep listening to it."
Seeing the little woman swaying and her eyes almost squinting with sleep, Qin Hanwu smiled and patted her head.
"Xiao Jing, wait a little longer, the morning court session will be over soon."
Although Qin Hanwu said that, Jiang Jingyue couldn't stand it for another second; it was just too boring.
"Your Majesty, I would like to return first, is that alright?"
Seeing how sleepy and tired the young woman looked, Qin Hanwu could only nod and have someone send Jiang Jingyue back first.
As soon as Jiang Jingyue stood up, she froze on the spot, unable to move.
This prompted Qin Hanwu, who had been watching her the whole time, to ask a question.
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong? Did something happen? Why aren't you moving?"
Jiang Jingyue paused for a moment before looking at Qin Hanwu beside her and speaking.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I think... I think my water has broken."
Jiang Jingyue's words startled Qin Hanwu, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.
Qin Hanwu suddenly stood up and then hugged Jiang Jingyue in his arms.
He ran towards the delivery room as fast as he could, comforting Jiang Jingyue as he ran.
"Xiao Jing, don't be afraid. I'm here. I will protect you. You will be alright."
When Qin Hanwu got nervous, he became somewhat incoherent, speaking without thinking, and he probably didn't even know what he was saying.
Jiang Jingyue wasn't that worried; on the contrary, she was quite calm.
"Master, is the medicine ready yet? I've already started labor, and you still haven't prepared the medicine for me."
The system was also getting anxious. It didn't know why the system had suddenly crashed. It could only try to salvage it first.
"Host, don't worry! I'll definitely put it in your mouth myself before you start giving birth."
With the system's words, Jiang Jingyue was instantly relieved. Fortunately, she knew in advance that she would be going into labor today, so she had prepared painless childbirth pills in advance. Otherwise, she would be in excruciating pain right now.
Other pills can be taken later, but this one cannot be taken under any circumstances.
"Look, someone come here! The Empress is about to give birth! Hurry up and get ready, or it will be too late. The Emperor is already carrying the Empress over here."
Wang Desheng arrived before Emperor Wu of Qin and Han, allowing the midwives to prepare in advance.
When the midwives heard the news, they all became anxious and rushed about without daring to stop for a moment.
Just as the midwives were almost finished preparing, Qin Hanwu ran over carrying Jiang Jingyue.
"Hurry, hurry up."
After Qin Hanwu put Jiang Jingyue on the bed, he sat down next to her and reached out to hold her hand.
"Xiao Jing, don't worry! I will always be with you, I will always be here with you."
Seeing that Qin Hanwu showed no intention of leaving, Jiang Jingyue immediately looked at him and spoke.
"Your Majesty, please leave. I am giving birth right now and I don't want Your Majesty here. Your Majesty's presence will distract me."
If I were to lose focus even for a moment, something could easily go wrong. Surely Your Majesty wouldn't want anything to happen to me!
When Jiang Jingyue asked Qin Hanwu to leave, he was very reluctant, feeling that he could definitely be of help if he stayed.
However, Jiang Jingyue's next few words immediately dispelled Qin Hanwu's intention to stay.
He was reluctant to leave, but seeing Jiang Jingyue's determined eyes, Qin Hanwu slowly stood up.
"Xiao Jing, I'll be waiting for you outside."
Seeing Qin Hanwu finally walk out, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When she gave birth, a grown man was there watching, and she simply didn't have the strength to give birth.
Just then, the system's voice rang in Jiang Jingyue's mind.
"Ding, system upgrade successful, new features are now online, stay tuned."
Jiang Jingyue is currently giving birth and is not in the mood to ask about the new features of the system.
"System, prepare all the medicine I need, quickly."
"Bring it here."
As soon as Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she felt something enter her mouth.
She knew these were the pills the system had prepared for her, and Jiang Jingyue swallowed them all without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, are you ready? The cervix is almost open. Just push a little and the baby will be out soon."
Upon hearing the midwife's words, Jiang Jingyue exerted her strength and heard the baby cry.
"It's born! It's born! Your Majesty is amazing! We servants haven't even done anything yet, and Your Majesty has already given birth on her own."
Jiang Jingyue hadn't even realized what was happening before the baby was already born.
