They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

In the Wutong Courtyard.

After seeing Zhu Yan off, Jiang Wanyue returned to her bedroom, washed up, changed into light clothes, loosened her hair, and leaned back on the couch.

The charcoal fire made the whole room warm, and the flowers by the window bloomed brightly and colorfully.

Jiang Wanyue looked at Xiuchun who was busy coming in and out and greeted her.

"Stop busying yourself, come and take a rest!"

Xiuchun moved a small stool over and sat down, speaking in a low voice.

"He Yu from Nianyun Pavilion took two people to Liuyin Courtyard, and happened to meet Doctor Tan and Doctor Zeng, and asked them for a long time."

Jiang Wanyue said "hmm" and lowered her eyes to look at Su Bai's fingers.

"He Yu is a steady and thoughtful person. I can rest assured with her around."

Guan Rou's life has long been recorded in the account of the King of Hell.

Even if this incident had not happened, Guan Rou would not have lived long.

Jiang Wanyue remembered very clearly that after Li Ce ascended the throne in his previous life, there was not a single concubine with the surname Guan in the harem.

Xiuchun didn't know what she was thinking, and she was still mumbling: "You are too kind to Aunt Guan, and you even invited a godmother to come over."

"You don't understand. It doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, but she can't die when I'm in charge. So, we have to save her life now." Jiang Wanyue said softly, "As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with us."

Xiuchun's eyes moved, and she suddenly understood, and couldn't help covering her mouth.

"That's right. We are going to move to the East Palace soon. Aunt Guan just gave birth. It's so cold outside and she will be exhausted from the journey. It's better to let her stay in the palace to recuperate after giving birth."

Jiang Wanyue gave Xiuchun an appreciative look and then stretched.

"I'll take a nap first. Call me if there's any movement in Liuyin Courtyard."

She lay down.

The candle went out and the room quickly became quiet.

Jiang Wanyue slept all night.

Unexpectedly, Guan Rou stayed up all night but still couldn't give birth.

When having breakfast in the morning, Jiang Wanyue asked Xiuchun over to ask about the situation. When she heard that Zhu Yan was also there, she asked all the servants to come back.

It was not until the evening that Guan Rou opened her ten fingers.

With the joint efforts of Doctor Tan, Doctor Zeng and Aunt Sun, the child was finally born safely.

Jiang Wanyue immediately asked the housekeeper to go to the East Palace to report to Li Ce.

Li Ce walked back to Prince Jing's Mansion in the moonlight. When he saw Jiang Wanyue, the coldness on his face faded a little.

Li Ce took Jiang Wanyue's hand and walked towards the front hall.

"Thank you for your hard work. Why did Guan suddenly give birth prematurely?"

He asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanyue suddenly knelt down.

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness."

Li Ce was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly faded, his eyes were dim and unclear, he stared at Jiang Wanyue for a long time before he spoke.

"what have you done?"

Jiang Wanyue lowered her head and tried her best to control her voice.

"It was I who asked Doctor Zeng to prescribe a dose of labor-inducing medicine and coaxed Aunt Guan into taking it, which caused her to suddenly go into premature labor."

Li Ce stood still, waiting for her to continue explaining.

Jiang Wanyue raised her head slightly.

"Because something happened in the main courtyard yesterday, I thought about the Crown Princess' frequent visits to Liuyin Courtyard recently and her extra care for Aunt Guan. I felt uneasy, so I asked someone to secretly look at Aunt Guan's pulse record and found that Aunt Guan's pulse was not as stable as everyone knew. She had a difficult pregnancy and had already shown signs of premature birth. If she doesn't give birth quickly now, and delays it for a few more days, I'm afraid the baby will die in the womb."

Jiang Wanyue spoke rapidly, revealing just the right amount of anxiety.

"I should have reported this matter to His Highness first, and then let His Highness make the decision. But time is tight, and I am worried about what might happen to Aunt Guan and the child, so I made the decision on my own."

After saying all this, she let out a long breath and bowed down again with a determined look on her face.

"Please punish me, Your Highness."

The darkness in Li Ce's eyes faded away and brightened again.

He reached out and pulled Jiang Wanyue up.

"Why punish me? You did the right thing. Since all the affairs of this mansion have been handed over to you, you can do whatever you want. Now that Guan and the child are safe and sound, you have done a great deed. I can't wait to reward you, so why punish me?"

Jiang Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Aunt Guan managed to escape death this time. She and her child are safe, thanks to Doctor Zeng and Imperial Physician Tan!"

Li Ce snorted.

"Dr. Tan should have been severely punished for concealing the truth, but this time his merits have been offset. Let him return to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow."

Jiang Wanyue didn't say anything. She asked Xuzhi to go and inform Doctor Tan first. She then took Li Ce's arm and walked slowly behind.

Inside the Willow Shade Courtyard, after hearing what Xuzhi had relayed, Imperial Doctor Tan relaxed all over and slumped down in his chair.

He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then bowed to the door.

"Thank you, Liangdi, for saving my life."

Doctor Tan's gratitude was not fake.

When Dr. Zeng found him earlier, he was almost scared to death.

Originally, he entered Prince Jing's Mansion at the request of the Crown Princess. Imperial Physician Tan dared not disobey the Crown Princess's order.

However, he had always thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it! Little did he know that it was all the Crown Princess who made the decision without authorization.

So many people were carried out of the main hospital yesterday, and two were hung at the gate. Dr. Tan was afraid that he would be the next one. He has been worried from yesterday until now.

Now, I can finally feel relieved.

As long as he could save his life, he didn't dare to dream of anything else. He immediately returned to his residence, without packing his luggage, and left the palace with his medicine box and some clothes.

Even when the butler wanted to send a carriage to take him away, Doctor Tan refused it. He ran so fast that even the little medicine boy almost couldn't catch up with him.

When Doctor Tan left, Jiang Wanyue and Li Ce had already arrived at Liuyinyuan.

Zhu Yan is also there.

She was holding the child and coaxing him softly, with a gentle look on her face.

Li Ce looked at his little son, who was like a cat. He was so small and his cries were so small that his brows were furrowed.

Jiang Wanyue teased the child and said with a smile.

"Although this child is a little small, there is nothing wrong with his health. His foundation is weak, but he will recover if he is taken good care of in the future."

After saying this, she changed the subject and frowned slightly.

"But Aunt Guan...it doesn't look good. I wonder if she can take good care of the child?"

She sighed.

At this moment, Guan Rou inside woke up.

Upon learning that Li Ce had arrived, Guan Rou immediately shouted.

"Your Highness? Is it Your Highness who is here? Your Highness, Rou'er has finally waited for you!"

Li Ce had never liked her, and when he heard her shouting, he didn't feel much sympathy, but only felt annoyed.

Jiang Wanyue gently pushed Li Ce's arm.

"Your Highness, please go in and take a look at Aunt Guan! After all, she has given birth to a son for Your Highness!"

Li Ce still frowned, but walked into the inner room.

Jiang Wanyue pulled Zhu Yan to the outer room and sat down.

Zhu Yan looked towards the inner room again and again, looking uneasy.

Jiang Wanyue patted the back of Zhu Yan's hand.

"Sister, please be patient and don't rush things."

Zhu Yan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, focusing all her attention on the newborn baby.

Before she met the child, she was moved, but that was all she was moved about.

But now that he had seen her and held her in his arms, Zhu Yan wished he could take her back to Nianyun Pavilion immediately.

This child looks very much like Qier when he was born.

When Qi'er was born, he was also a small and soft ball, like a kitten. He didn't cry loudly, but only whimpered a few times.

This child must be the result of Qi'er not wanting to leave her as her mother, so she borrowed Guan Rou's womb and was reborn.

This is her son!

Zhu Yan clenched her hands slightly while holding the child.

The words she had said to Yu kept spinning in her mind.

Finally, it took root deep in my mind.

She pursed her lips and glanced at He Yu.

One glance is enough to show the tacit understanding between the master and servant.
