Another month passed, time slowly flowed by, and finally Su Jingyao's delivery day arrived.
This time when she gave birth, the eastern sky was just turning pale, dawn was breaking, and Jun Zechen was still attending the morning court.
Whether it was the experienced Nanny Lin, or Miaoyun, Miaoxia and the others, everyone's face was filled with nervousness.
Even though they knew that their master had been taken care of meticulously during her pregnancy and that every aspect was extremely thoughtful, having a child was always extremely dangerous, like walking through the gates of hell, so they had no choice but to be careful.
Su Jingyao was lying in the delivery room. Nanny Lin had a solemn expression on her face. She stayed with her all the time, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Miaoyun originally planned to invite both Imperial Physician Jin and Imperial Physician Li to come together in case any unexpected situations occurred during the delivery process.
But when Miaoyun went to invite him, she found that Doctor Li had an upset stomach and was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, so it was inconvenient for him to come.
Doctor Li himself did not expect that the Queen would suddenly attack so early in the morning. It happened so suddenly that he had no choice but to ask Doctor Jin to rush over to take care of her.
Miaoyun knew that Imperial Doctor Jin was a skilled doctor and was loyal to his master, so she trusted him very much.
When Imperial Physician Jin and Nanny Lin were both accompanying her master in the delivery room, Miaoyun finally felt relieved and went to the front court to invite His Majesty with peace of mind.
It will probably take some time for the lady to give birth, and His Majesty should have left the court by now.
I had just returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after court and was about to enjoy breakfast when Miaoyun hurried over.
"Your Majesty, the master has started giving birth." Miaoyun's voice was filled with anxiety.
Jun Zechen was stunned when he heard this. Although he already knew that she would give birth in the next few days, he still felt his heart tighten when he suddenly heard the news.
Jun Zechen quickly stood up and strode towards Kunning Palace.
When he arrived, the queen's muffled groans of pain could be heard from the delivery room.
Outside the delivery room, seven concubines were already waiting there.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." All the concubines saluted in unison.
Lin Miaoyin and Tang Suxi were both pregnant, but the Empress was giving birth, so they had to come even though they were pregnant.
However, the palace servants in Kunning Palace were quite sensible and brought stools to the two pregnant masters, while the other concubines could only stand aside and wait for the queen to give birth.
"Everyone, get up."
Jun Zechen's voice was still as calm as usual, and his face did not show the slightest panic, but the worry hidden in his heart could not deceive himself after all.
Ye Yaqin's eyes were complex and deep. She stared at the delivery room, revealing imperceptible excitement and anticipation.
Perhaps after today, the position of queen will be vacant.
When Ye Yaqin received her father's letter before, she was full of worries and didn't know how to plan a perfect plan to get rid of the queen.
But she didn't expect that God might really be on her side. There was actually a palace maid in Kunning Palace who was an enemy of the Su family.
One day, she happened to meet the palace maid in the grove. She was burning paper to commemorate her family, and her expression was sad and resentful.
Originally, Ye Yaqin just wanted to report this little maid for violating palace rules to the Queen, but unexpectedly she got an unexpected surprise.
Since this palace maid hated the queen and the Su family so much, she was even willing to sacrifice her life to kill the queen.
There would be no evidence by then, and Ye Yaqin did not leave any token except a packet of medicine for the palace maid. The queen was dead, and the blame would not be put to her anyway.
Ye Yaqin's gaze fell on His Majesty's majestic back. Now that the Queen is dead, will His Majesty be able to treat all the concubines in the harem fairly?
Jun Zechen frowned and stood outside the delivery room like a statue. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually anxious inside.
"Why is the Queen's voice so soft?" Jun Zechen couldn't help but ask.
If Su Jingyao screamed loudly, he would feel sorry for her pain, but if she lost her voice, Jun Zechen would worry that she might have had an accident.
Anshun, who was standing by, bowed and replied: "Maybe she wanted to save some strength. The midwife didn't let the queen make loud noises. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Lin Miaoyin's eyes were a little dim.
Although His Majesty's face remained calm, she was always observant.
His Majesty unconsciously turned the fingers of the ring on his left hand and frowned from time to time, silently expressing his concern for the Queen.
She lowered her head slightly and gently stroked her belly which was not yet visible, feeling a sour feeling in her heart.
When I give birth, will Your Majesty be as nervous for her as you are for the Queen now?
Tang Suxi's belly is already showing, after all, she is already four months pregnant.
She had the lowest status among all the concubines, and only with the help of her children could she hope for promotion.
Therefore, she had been extremely cautious since she became pregnant. If she had the favor of His Majesty, that would be great. If not, as long as she had a child, she could survive in the harem.
In fact, she felt much more comfortable in the harem than at home.
Tang Suxi lowered her head with a satisfied smile on her lips.
The other concubines also had their own thoughts. Some had wandering eyes, while others pursed their lips tightly, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second passed slowly and heavily.
Su Jingyao's birth went relatively smoothly. An hour later, the clear and loud cry of a baby was finally heard.
Jun Zechen's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. He subconsciously looked up at the sky. At this time, a red sun was rising, shining brightly.
Nanny Lin happily carried the prince out.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Queen has given birth to a prince!"
