In the sixth year of Nanyang, on the third day of the eleventh lunar month, heavy snow fell and the weather was freezing cold.
A cry pierced the sky from the sleeping quarters of the Hibiscus Palace.
"Wah, wah!" It was the baby's loud and rhythmic cry.
"Your Majesty, it's a little princess!" Ah Xiang, the personal maid, exclaimed in delight as she watched the midwife hold the baby in her arms and checked the gender.
This will be the first princess of the Nanyang royal family.
That's wonderful! Mother and daughter are safe and sound. The Empress has finally given birth smoothly. Ah Xiang's heart, which had been in her throat, can finally be put down.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The little princess has been born at full term. Judging from that strong and powerful voice, the little princess will surely grow up healthy!" The midwife said auspiciously with a smile.
Saving money in this freezing weather is really not easy, but fortunately, the person in the palace is a person of perseverance and persisted for more than ten hours.
The palace maids carried out basins of steaming hot bloody water.
Bai Jieyu was covered in sweat, her hair stuck to her face, and she was extremely tired.
She forced a smile; after ten months of pregnancy, she had finally given birth to the child.
She was an unfavored concubine, and in the freezing cold of the twelfth lunar month, she didn't even have a royal physician by her side. It was already a stroke of luck that she was able to give birth to her child safely.
With a smile in her eyes and a loving expression, she gently poked her daughter's chubby, soft cheeks, and weakly uttered a few words, "Rewards, everyone gets a reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing that there would be a reward, the midwives knelt down happily and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Ah Xiang was also immersed in joy, and she couldn't help but love the fair-skinned and adorable little princess.
But then she noticed that Bai Jieyu was pale, her lips were dry and withered, and she was too tired to say another word. Blood was flowing continuously from her body, staining the bedding red.
Blood! Why is Your Majesty still bleeding?!
Ah Xiang panicked. She placed the little princess on the bed, trembling as she tightly gripped her mistress's hand, crying out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Quickly, go and fetch the imperial physician!"
"Hang in there!"
The Empress giving birth should have been a joyous occasion, but seeing this scene, the palace maids and servants in the bedchamber panicked. They rushed in and out, busy with various tasks, such as fetching towels, calling for the imperial physician, finding clean bedding, and changing the charcoal fire. They all had mournful faces, anxious expressions, and deep sorrow.
Chaos erupted inside the bedchamber. No one noticed that the little princess, whom Bai Jieyu had risked her life to give birth to, had already been secretly carried out by a palace maid.
The palace maid looked flustered, her whole body stiff and tense. She walked while looking around warily. Holding the doll, she quickly ran out of the palace and into the backyard.
"Wah, wah!" The baby girl's eyes widened in shock from the sudden chill, and she shivered.
Yun Duoduo looked at the person holding her. She was wearing a palace dress commonly seen in Qing Dynasty dramas, and her hair was styled in a bun.
Take another look at the surrounding buildings: red palace walls, yellow glazed tiles, and the sky in the four corners.
Yun Duoduo frowned slightly and gasped. She, the dignified dean of the medical academy and a renowned physician, had actually transmigrated?!
The cold air outside made her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't move her hands or feet at all. She wanted to speak, but all that came out was wailing.
Hearing the sound coming from her throat, her eyes suddenly narrowed, her heart skipped a beat, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment!
She suddenly realized something and hurriedly looked down at herself. A bright red brocade quilt, fingers like bean sprouts, short arms and legs like lotus roots, small feet like steamed buns, and a body length of no more than 50 centimeters.
Holy crap, time travel is one thing, but she was actually reincarnated as a baby...
Good heavens, it was like being struck by lightning, a bolt from the blue. She, a person who wields a scalpel, had been transmigrated into a helpless baby who couldn't even speak or walk!
In this cannibalistic ancient world, wouldn't we be like fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy?!
Yun Duoduo had never been so speechless in her life. She stared resentfully at the dark sky. Was this how fate had arranged things? She had healed and saved countless lives in her past life, so how did she end up like this?!
Looking at the palace maids and nannies coming and going, and then thinking about his own situation.
Yun Duoduo forced herself to accept this cruel reality. She stared intently at the palace maid who was holding her. The maid looked anxious and ill-intentioned.
[God, I'm just a lowly servant, please forgive me this time! In my next life, I hope the little princess can be reborn into an ordinary wealthy family. God, please forgive me!]
【Princess, go in peace. It was Prince Jin and Princess Jin who threatened your family's lives; I had no choice!】
Yun Duoduo was stunned. The sudden events that occurred one after another left her somewhat overwhelmed.
She frowned, her mouth agape in disbelief, only to see the palace maid's face scream, "I'm going to kill you!"
Yun Duoduo shuddered. Damn it, she had finally been reborn and transmigrated, and before she could even have a hot meal, someone wanted to kill her?!
Prince Jin and Princess Jin, alright, she remembered that. She'll wash her neck and wait. When she grows up, neither of them will escape!
Yun Duoduo was so angry that she gritted her teeth and clenched her little fists, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. She could only cry loudly, hoping to attract someone's attention and have them come to save her.
Crying was her only weapon.
The palace maid who was holding her covered Yun Duoduo's mouth. Her heart was pounding, and she looked around anxiously.
"Why did you take so long to come out?!" A man dressed as a eunuch stood beside the dry well and complained.
"I've never had the chance," the palace maid replied softly.
"How is Consort Bai?" the eunuch asked in a low voice.
"Quickly, she's about to die." The palace maid looked around, holding Yun Duoduo tightly in her arms.
The eunuch-dressed old man looked impatient and warily glanced around, pulling at the palace maid who was holding the baby.
"Hurry up! What are you waiting for?!"
"Hurry! Consort Bai is out of favor, and this is a dry well. Throw the child in, then set it on fire. No one will find out!"
"It's just the death of an unfavored concubine and an unseen baby, damn it! Stop dawdling! If this gets discovered, neither of us will survive. Give me the child, I'll take it!" The eunuch roared in a sharp voice, his tone filled with impatience and dissatisfaction, as he reached out to snatch Yun Duoduo from the palace maid's hands.
Ahhh! Don't come any closer!
Yun Duoduo panicked. What should she do? Was there really no one coming to save her?
"Waaah, waaah, waaah!" she wailed desperately, screaming at the top of her lungs.
...?
