I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Inside the palace, the queen's moans filled every corner.

Chi Yuehan stopped talking, and her clenched hands showed a bit of uneasiness.

Queen Wan Qianni's face was pale, her hair was soaked with sweat, and her body was twisted in pain.

The midwives and palace maids were busy at the side, their faces filled with tension and worry.

Emperor An Zhaoyan was invited outside the door. He could only pace anxiously and look inside the door from time to time, but he could see nothing.

The queen's breathing became more and more rapid, and her eyes revealed despair and pain. Every contraction pain made her feel like she was being torn apart, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, using all her strength for the upcoming child.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense.

Chi Yuehan looked at the palace maids carrying blood in and out and couldn't help muttering, "I didn't know it would turn out like this..."

Suddenly, the queen's voice became even more shrill, and her body twitched violently. Then, the midwife shouted ecstatically: "It's born! It's born! It's a little prince!"

However, no one heard any crying sound. It turned out that the little baby looked like a monkey and was extremely weak, as if it would break if touched.

The queen was exhausted as she watched everyone wrap up her son. When the emperor came in, he carefully picked up the ball with a look of pity on his face.

She smiled contentedly, but found that she didn't even have the strength to laugh.

"The Queen is bleeding again!" an imperial physician shouted, and everyone's hearts were in suspense again.

"We must save her life!" said An Zhaoyan.

He recalled that long ago he had witnessed someone die soon after giving birth.

The woman struggled in pain, and when she finally closed her eyes, an indescribable sadness and... Now, facing the scene before him, those memories came flooding back, making him feel helpless.

However, faced with such an emergency, he didn't know what he could do.

He could only pray silently, hoping that the imperial doctors could find a solution as soon as possible and get the queen out of danger. Time passed by minute by minute, and every moment felt extremely long.

Jiang Xingkuo watched him sitting there absent-mindedly, looking at the bright moon outside the window from time to time, and lowering his head in deep thought about something from time to time.

Even outside the city there were flames and smoke everywhere.

Jiang Xingkuo stared at him silently. In the darkness, no one could see what she was thinking.

Finally, after some intensive treatment, the queen's condition gradually stabilized.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The little prince was brought in front of Chi Yuehan and Jiang Xingkuo.

Chi Yuehan looked at the cute child in front of her, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame.

She knew that her past actions had almost prevented the child from being born, and now she felt ashamed facing this fragile life.

Jiang Xingkuo gently poked Chi Yuehan, motioning her to take the child.

Chi Yuehan hesitated for a moment, then gently took the small ball of cloth into her arms. When she touched the soft body for the first time, tears welled up in her eyes.

Jiang Xingkuo understood the pain in Chi Yuehan's heart. If her child could be born smoothly, she would also feel the joy of being a mother at this moment.

However, the reality was so cruel that they all fell into deep grief.

The baby in the cloth began to move restlessly, as if he was uncomfortable with the surrounding environment. Perhaps because of the hot summer, Jiang Xingkuo carefully unwrapped the cloth and exposed the baby's arms.

As the arms stretched out, the two small palms swayed gently in the air.

Jiang Xingkuo noticed the movement of the little hand and frowned slightly. She curiously reached out to hold the little hand and observed it carefully.

Suddenly, she discovered that this little hand had six fingers!

She couldn't help but gasp, too shocked to speak.

This……

Wow. It turns out this is a family gene…

Jiang Xingkuo thought to himself.

"What's wrong?" Following her gaze, Chi Yuehan couldn't help but be startled.

"This……"

An Zhaoyan had just returned from comforting the frail queen when she heard their exclamations.

"What's the matter? Why are you so startled?"

Chi Yuehan was hesitant, not knowing whether to tell him. Jiang Xingkuo curled his lips and motioned for him to read it himself.

An Zhaoyan was completely confused. He walked closer and took a closer look, and his expression froze instantly.

"It's okay, it's nothing." Jiang Xingkuo covered the little prince's hand with a quilt and asked the wet nurse to take him away and take good care of him.

"But...it is said...that this is an ominous symbol..." Chi Yuehan hesitated.

"Do you believe it?" Jiang Xingkuo pointed at her and grinned.

Chi Yuehan stopped talking and looked at An Zhaoyan again.

An Zhaoyan looked exhausted and was silent for a long time before replying, "No matter what, he is my child."

"Please help me keep this secret and don't let this news leak out."

Chi Yuehan was puzzled, "Why?"

Jiang Xingkuo explained with a serious face: "Once the news spread, most of the people in the city are superstitious and ignorant, and have always believed in ghosts and gods. If they knew that the queen gave birth to an ominous child, and combined with the recent rebellion and war, I'm afraid the chaos will start from within."

Fortunately, not many people know about this.

An Zhaoyan went to the front line again, which was the city wall.

Jiang Xingkuo sat on the swing in Piyun Palace, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Just now she climbed up to the Moon-Viewing Platform in the palace and saw the bright lights and billowing smoke all around the city walls.

The streets in the city were completely silent. Many people from nearby city walls moved to the foot of the imperial city with their families. Some outsiders who were imprisoned in the city were also settled in Runxue Hall.

Fortunately, Runxue Hall is big enough.

It cost a lot of money to buy that building.

It has come in handy in many ways nowadays.

Alas. She smiled bitterly.

I don’t know how A Yan is doing.

Ever since An Huanyan followed Hai Yanqing out of the city, she has been running wildly towards the south like a wild horse.

But before they had run a few dozen kilometers, they were blocked by the Hai family's army.

In desperation, the two had to follow them to a large mansion surrounded by guards.

It seems that there is no way to escape. An Huanyan felt a little desperate.

After entering the yard, Hai Wuya stared at Hai Yanqing with his eyes wide open, his face full of anger.

Then he gave an order and had his men drag Hai Yanqing into a room and beat him up severely.

An Huanyan stood aside, feeling heartbroken, but she was powerless to do anything. She could only watch Hai Yanqing being beaten until he spit out blood.

At this time, Wen, who had been standing by in silence, could no longer bear it. She rushed forward, threw herself on Hai Yanqing, and cried out loudly: "Are you going to beat him to death? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Hai family if the Hai family has no descendants?"

She cried and hugged Hai Yanqing tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Hai Wuya felt softened and ordered to stop beating Hai Yanqing.

But he still said to Hai Yanqing in a rage: "You rebellious son, you almost ruined my plan! If you hadn't been a traitor, I would have conquered Youling City and put on the yellow robe long ago!"
