"Your Majesty, it's Princess Chi... Princess Chi is about to give birth." Just then, a maidservant peeked out from outside the courtyard, her face pale and trembling.
She had just seen a dark figure rush out of Chi Wang's room.
She also saw that the dark figure was...it was Prince Chi!
He was surrounded by black energy, and he looked... looked a little scary.
For the past two weeks, Prince Chi has remained in his room without ever leaving, even having his meals delivered to his door. They assumed he was meditating and cultivating in his room.
After all, it's not uncommon for Chi Wang to stay in his room for half a month or a month before.
So they didn't feel that anything was wrong.
"Hurry up and call the midwife over!" the young Ning Yuan said coldly.
Regardless of whether Ning Chi is involved or not, the child is innocent.
Furthermore, it was he who bestowed the marriage contract between Yu Ruyan and Ning Chi.
Of course, it was Yu Ruyan who asked for it, and Ning Chi himself agreed to it.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded quickly, immediately sending someone to fetch a midwife.
The ministers and commoners stood there stunned, rubbing their eyes every now and then. "Did I see that right? I think I saw Prince Chi?"
"I saw it too, the King of the Pool turned into a cloud of black mist."
"Could the matter of the heavenly lightning really be related to Prince Chi?"
"That black aura is the same as the black aura on the cauldron and on those commoners, it must be related!"
"What do you think Prince Chi is after?" a minister asked, puzzled.
Of the seven kingdoms, Li was the leader.
Since Emperor Yuan took office, the country has been thriving, with favorable weather and abundant harvests. The people's lives have improved, and their salaries have increased.
This is what a wise ruler is like.
No matter how tyrannical Emperor Yuan was, the fact that he was able to manage the Li Kingdom so well in just a few years, ensuring that they had three meals a day and warm clothes all year round, proves that he was capable. It is not certain that someone else could have done what he did as emperor.
He didn't understand why the Prince Chi would do this when he was living such a good life.
The other ministers looked at the man who spoke as if he were a fool.
Just by looking at him, you can tell he doesn't meet the King's standards.
Prince Chi never visited his residence, nor did he try to win him over.
Otherwise, they wouldn't ask such a silly question.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Liu Jing asked, noticing the way the people were staring at him.
"Lord Liu, you need to work harder to get promoted. Once you reach our position, you'll understand what Prince Chi is after." A minister raised his hand, patted the man's shoulder, and encouraged him.
The other ministers nodded.
"Lord Wang, are you serious? If I get promoted again, I'll be sitting in your position." Liu Jing said, looking at the person in front of him with a serious expression.
There's only one position available. If he really climbs up the ranks and gets promoted one more grade, then he'll be sitting in that position.
"With a brain like yours, even if I gave you this position, you wouldn't understand how to manage it," the minister who had just comforted him said, glancing at him.
Even if you ask him to sit, he can't sit properly.
Furthermore, whether he can even get promoted is still a question.
“Prince Chi is too impatient,” a minister said seriously.
“Yes,” another minister said.
The evidence is conclusive. If the Imperial Advisor truly captures Prince Chi, Prince Chi will definitely…
Why……
The maids led the midwife in a hurry, and after the midwife entered the room, cries of pain rang out in waves.
Even those listening outside felt heartbroken.
The maid brought in hot water, but when she brought it out, it was a basin of bloody water.
The ministers looked serious upon seeing this.
Although they were men, they knew that childbirth for women was like walking through the gates of hell.
Seeing the basins of blood and hearing the screams coming from inside the house, they were also worried for Princess Chi.
Young Ning Yuan stayed outside the courtyard with the ministers, but his heart was wandering far away, worrying about Xiao A Wu.
The cries inside the room stopped abruptly, followed by the midwife's voice, which brought the young Ning Yuan back to his senses.
"She gave birth! It's a boy."
When they heard that the baby had been born, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that the adults and children are safe and sound.
Although Ning Yuan's expression was serious, he felt a little relieved when he heard that the situation had been resolved.
Yu Ruyan's grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the late Emperor. As for her father, he was as frail as she was and passed away a few years after Yu Ruyan was born.
The Yu family was supported by Yu Ruyan and the old Grand Tutor Yu. She was frail and had relied on medicine to prolong her life since childhood.
Before he was the Crown Prince and before Xiao Wu came to Li Kingdom, his father often took him to the Jade Palace.
Since we're going to the Yu residence, we'll inevitably run into Yu Ruyan.
He originally thought Yu Ruyan was no different from the young ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families, but after meeting her once, his opinion of her changed.
She was well-read but not arrogant or conceited; she was a good friend.
"Your Majesty, the Princess Consort... the Princess Consort requests that you enter the room." A maid opened the door and said.
Young Ning Yuan frowned and strode into the room.
Although he had no children, he had seen others give birth.
While he and Xiao A Wu were traveling south, a pregnant woman went into labor along the way, and Xiao A Wu delivered the baby.
After childbirth, a woman will be very weak and needs rest even more.
Yu Ruyan needed to rest, but she ordered someone to invite him into her room.
It was obvious at a glance that she had something to say to him.
Inside the room, a faint scent of incense tried to mask the fishy smell.
Young Ning Yuan sat in the chair, looking up at the gauze curtain that had been lowered in front of him.
Although no one could be seen, the sound of breathing could be heard coming from behind the gauze curtain.
He was somewhat weak and had some shortness of breath.
The midwife and maids bowed their heads and slowly retreated, carrying the swaddled baby, and closed the door.
