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

"Hurry, there's lightning, and thunder is coming soon!" Jiang Xingkuo quickly grabbed her hand with the bracelet.

The rain was so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes, and it even hurt when the raindrops hit her body.

"Xingxing," An Huanyan pulled her hand away.

"Hurry up! What are you doing!" Jiang Xingkuo anxiously tried to grab her hand again.

But she took two steps back.

"Xingxing!" she screamed. "...I...I can't do it! I can't leave her behind!"

Jiang Xingkuo was stunned. She tried hard to see An Huanyan's expression, but found that there was only white in her eyes.

An Huanyan gritted her teeth, turned around and ran away.

"Huanyan!" Jiang Xingkuo also chased after her.

She ran all the way to the Qianqing Palace, looking dishevelled, "Where is my mother? Where is my mother?"

The guards were confused: Who are these two people...

Until Yingchun, who was beside the queen, came out and took them away.

The queen had been carried back to Kunning Palace.

An Huanyan and Jiang Xingkuo changed their clothes urgently and rushed to the bedside.

The queen’s pale face made An Huanyan burst into tears.

Perhaps it was the innate bond in this body that made her heart break and she held her hand tightly.

"How is the Queen?" Jiang Xingkuo pulled Yingchun aside and asked in a low voice.

"The Queen has always been in weak health. Not only did she catch a cold, but her old headache was also triggered. That's why she hasn't woken up yet. Your Majesty is too cruel! He tortured the Queen like this just for a little bitch." Yingchun said with red eyes and sobs.

"Don't say the following words once you leave this room. Take good care of the queen. Especially at this time, the palace gates must be guarded more tightly." Jiang Xingkuo patted her shoulder.

"I know." Yingchun wiped her tears.

For some reason, she had great trust in the companions around the princess.

She looked closely and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xingkuo looked at her with a dazed look on her face.

"Girl...your face..."

Jiang Xingkuo touched his face, which was smooth and delicate. "Do you have a veil? Give me one."

"Girl, are you sure? It would be such a waste to cover up a face like this..." Yingchun stared at her face without blinking.

Jiang Xingkuo smiled bitterly and put on his veil. "Yingchun, don't tell anyone about this for now."

"Don't worry girl."

The news that the Queen had fainted after being forced to kneel in the rain by His Majesty spread to every corner of the palace.

"Really?" Yan Buwan sat sideways on the couch, while several palace maids dyed her nails with marigolds, and listened to the report from the palace maid next to her.

"It is true. The news has spread everywhere. I heard that the prince also went to plead for mercy, but was scolded by His Majesty."

Yan Buwan suddenly pulled back his half-stained hand, and after a moment's pause, he continued to extend his hand to the palace maid, pretending nothing had happened and asked again:

"The prince is still the prince after all, so I guess he'll just scold him, right?"

"My Lady, I heard that His Majesty was furious and punished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be confined to his room for two months."

"What?" Yan Buwan sat up straight immediately.

"Empress?" Several palace maids looked confused.

"It's okay." She resumed her previous position and asked, "Has Doctor Chen arrived?"

"My lady, we are on the way. We will be here in a moment."

"Yeah." She closed her eyes and rested, then twisted her waist which had become a little thicker.

"Your Majesty, your pulse is steady and your son is strong and powerful. He will surely be born safely." Doctor Chen said respectfully after taking your Majesty's pulse.

Yan Buwan dismissed his attendants and got off the ground. "Can the imperial physician tell me whether the fetus is a boy or a girl?"

"This..." Doctor Chen hesitated to speak.

"Tell the truth!"

"It seems to be... a female fetus..." Doctor Chen didn't dare to look into her eyes.

"Asshole!" Yan Buwan grabbed his collar and pushed him to the ground.

He also didn't know how a woman like Yan Buwan could have so much strength.

"I am pregnant with a prince!"

Doctor Chen was sweating profusely, "But...but the pulse..."

"Don't you know how to find a solution? Do you need me to teach you?" Yan Buwan's fierce eyes made him terrified.

"Your Majesty, you mean from outside the palace..."

"Hmph. You're smart." Yan Buwan snorted coldly, "I understand. Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll go and discuss this with Lord Hai..."

"No need!" Yan Buwan interrupted him, "I know you were introduced by the Hai family, but now, you are mine!"

"Your Majesty...this..." Doctor Chen hesitated.

"Doctor Chen, if I give birth to a prince, you will be responsible for everything about him in the future. He will have a bright future. If you are unwilling..."

"I remember that you treated the princess for a period of time before, right? The princess' poisoning was exposed, and you were able to save your life and even keep your official position. I'm afraid you must have done a lot of work in secret. I just need to report everything to His Majesty, you see..."

Doctor Chen was shocked and immediately prostrated himself and kowtowed. "Your Majesty! I choose a bright future!"

Yan Buwan smiled sweetly: "Doctor Chen has a bright future."

Doctor Chen wiped the sweat off his face and found that his back was already soaked. "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty!"

"Doctor Chen, although the delivery is still a long time away, it is better to make preparations early." Yan Buwan found it funny to see him trembling with fear.

"And, keep your mouth shut."

Doctor Chen took the medicine box and replied, "Your Majesty, in the palace, whether your medical skills are the best is not the most important thing. The most important thing is whether you keep your mouth shut."

"Okay. Go ahead." Yan Buwan waved his hand with satisfaction.

Doctor Chen staggered away.

"Your Majesty, what is this..." The two guards looked at the handful of silver bills in their hands, puzzled.

"This is a reward for you. Go and do something for me." Yan Buwan ate the snacks happily.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders!" The two guards knelt down hurriedly.

"Get up. You two, go find a dozen more brothers and take care of Doctor Chen's wife and children for me. If you don't have enough money, just come to me. I can't do without your help."

The two looked at each other and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

In Kunning Palace, An Huanyan looked exhausted. Jiang Xingkuo forcibly pulled her onto the bed and buried her in the quilt.

"You're killing yourself. You haven't slept for several days. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You're almost like a giant panda."

An Huanyan held her hand and said weakly: "Xingxing... I'm sorry... I..."

"What's there to be sorry about? It doesn't matter where we are, as long as we are together." Jiang Xingkuo put her hand under the quilt.

"Go to sleep quickly. When your mother wakes up, she will definitely wake you up the first time." Jiang Xingkuo patted the quilt.

Seeing An Huanyan finally close her eyes, Jiang Xingkuo and Song Yan beside her tiptoed to close the door.

"Miss, what is a panda? I have never heard of it." Songyan asked in a low voice.

"...just...like your princess, with black eyes, white teeth, and who can kick you over with one kick..." Jiang Xingkuo turned around and ran away.

“…Why does this sound so donkey-like…” Songyan was confused.
