"I beg Your Highness to accompany me to welcome the arrival of a new life..."

Tan Yuelian pleaded with difficulty, her eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

Su Wanyu asked her in a low voice: "Are you worried that someone is trying to harm you and your unborn child?"

Tan Yuelian nodded slightly in response, her face looking paler and weaker.

Su Wanyu looked up at Concubine Jin who was standing not far away. A hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Sensing the thoughts surging in Su Wanyu's mind, Tan Yuelian hurriedly shook her head and denied it: "No, it's not her... It's absolutely impossible that she did it... She is my good friend and one of the people His Majesty trusts the most..."

Su Wanyu stared at her, feeling the deep trust, and finally nodded to accept what she said.

"Your Highness... please save me and my child."

At this moment, there was only endless helplessness and expectation in her voice, as if the burden of the whole world was on them.

Su Wanyu frowned, knowing in her heart that in this deep palace, there were dozens of beauties in the harem, and anyone could do such a thing.

Feeling Tan Yuelian holding her hand tightly, the dependence made her determined to accompany her into the delivery room.

The air was filled with tension and anxiety.

Not long after the two of them stepped into the inner room, a clear and powerful cry resounded throughout the room - a prince was born!

Although he was born prematurely, he looked very healthy and his cry was so loud that it almost shattered all worries.

Everyone around couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The newborn was then carefully wrapped up and carried outside by a specially assigned maid to be checked by His Majesty, who was anxiously awaiting news, to confirm whether the baby was safe or not.

After everyone gradually dispersed, silence returned to the room.

At this time, Su Wanyu waved her hand and asked all the servants to leave first, leaving only two of them.

Then she slowly walked to Tan Yuelian, who was still lying on the bed recovering her breath, and said softly: "The imperial physician has come to carefully examine your condition. They said that the poison has very little effect on you, so you should not be in too much danger."

At this moment, Tan Yuelian's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and she looked almost fainted, which was extremely heartbreaking.

Finally, she weakly uttered a few words in response: "Thank you... Your Highness for saving me..."

After making sure that there were no other people around, Su Wanyu decided to get to the heart of the matter and asked, "I know you are very knowledgeable in medicine and you shouldn't be so easily tricked. Is this the result of your careful planning? Why did you choose to do it this way?"

Hearing this, Tan Yuelian smiled bitterly and explained, "How difficult is it to raise a prince safely in this seemingly glorious but actually murderous palace? Although there are friends like Concubine Jin who provide support and protection, there are still many risks that are invisible and intangible but cannot be ignored."

"A few days ago, I found a piece of fragrant wood fragment containing a slight toxin in the bedroom. Although it did not cause the complete death of the precious little life in the belly, it forced it to be born early. Obviously, some unidentified people are planning to use this extremely fragile and critical period to achieve some evil purpose, and try to put the blame on Concubine Jin to create disputes and turmoil."

At this point, she paused for a moment and continued, "I had no choice but to take such an extreme action. At the dinner that day, I deliberately ingested a small amount of venom to induce severe labor pains and force the child to come into this world prematurely."

Seeing the determination and courage in Tan Yuelian's eyes, Su Wanyu nodded in understanding, indicating her approval of this approach: "Doing this can not only catch the enemy off guard and lose the initiative, but also minimize the possibility of causing harm to the fetus."

Then he gently encouraged the exhausted but determined mother to take good care of her body so that the little one who had just been born could have a strong and loving protector to accompany him as he grows up.

"In the past few days, you have paid special attention to strengthening your nutritional supplements and taking various special herbs that are needed to help maintain the pregnancy and transition safely and smoothly to the final stage. Therefore, even if you have to give birth earlier than expected, you can avoid accidents to a great extent and ensure that the baby is born healthy and safe."

After hearing these words, Tan Yuelian, who was almost exhausted from overexertion, was deeply moved and looked at Su Wanyu with tears in her eyes, expressing her gratitude, "Your Highness..."

Su Wanyu was deeply moved by the extraordinary wisdom and perseverance shown by this brave and intelligent woman in order to protect her precious life fruit. So she continued to counsel her in a warmer and more caring tone, saying, "In such a dangerous and thrilling place, in order to survive better and better protect the rights of yourself and your children, sometimes it is understandable and even praiseworthy to adopt some seemingly extreme but actually necessary and effective strategies. I can understand your inner struggle and pain."

Then she looked at Tan Yuelian seriously and said, "But please remember one very important thing that you must never forget: no matter how things change or develop, you must not betray your inner true kindness and bottom line moral values."

After hearing these earnest words, even though she was in an extremely weak state, Tan Yuelian still tried to cheer herself up and said, "Your Highness, please speak."

Su Wanyu's eyes were sharp and her words were powerful. She warned: "First, do not act against your conscience. Second, always keep a clear and rational mind and make the choices that are most suitable for you and in the best interests of the overall situation."

Hearing this, Tan Yuelian nodded solemnly.

Since entering the palace, she has always abided by the palace rules and acted low-key. Apart from accompanying and protecting His Majesty and preventing him from being maliciously framed, she has never done anything against her conscience.

Then, Su Wanyu slowly added: "In addition, don't use your life as a bet again."

Although the tone was gentle, it was full of unquestionable firmness.

"If an accident really happened today, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be able to have a peaceful conversation here."

At this point, a hint of worry flashed in Su Wanyu's eyes, as if she was recalling those ominous past events.

Hearing this, Tan Yuelian's eyes instantly turned red, tears filled her eyes but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"I will definitely keep it in mind and always follow your instructions."

Her voice trembled slightly, but revealed an extremely firm attitude.

After that, Su Wanyu gently stood up, carefully tidied the bedding for the person on the bed, and repeatedly urged: "Have a good rest, I want to go see the new baby."

"As ordered, Your Highness."

Tan Yuelian looked at the figure that was gradually moving away until the other person completely disappeared from her sight. Then she slowly closed her eyes, and the emotions surging in her heart could not be calmed for a long time.
