As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

When Huiqing walked out of the study, the sky was completely dark without a single star. Xiao Guanzi handed her a palace lantern and said, "Miss Huiqing is a very smart person, so His Majesty allows you to be by His Majesty's side."

Xiao Guanzi's warning to stop just enough made Hui Qing sigh deeply, and she bent her knees and replied, "I thank your majesty for his grace. I will definitely behave myself and dare not say more."

After saying that, Hui Qing walked slowly towards the main hall of Yongding Palace holding a palace lantern. If you look closely, you will find that the clothes on her back are all wet. She walks very stiffly, as if she has lost one-third of her soul.

Xiao Guanzi sneered and muttered in his heart, no matter which family the maid is from, once she enters the palace she must be loyal to His Majesty, this is the way to survive!

In less than half an hour, Guard Zhang escorted Gu Master Cha Yi into the study.

The emperor sat at the top and pressed his hand down. Guard Zhang raised his foot and kicked Cha Yi's hind legs, making him kneel down in embarrassment.

"There's a problem with the Yuanyang Gu." Ning Rushong's cold words contained a sense of urgency.

Cha Yi bowed calmly and kowtowed to the ground. His voice sounded even weirder because of his posture. "Emperor of Dayun Dynasty, I can guarantee that the effect you need will not be reduced at all, and the Queen's health will definitely not be in any problem!"

"Gu worms are inherently changeable. I wonder if the extra problems they create are good or bad?" Cha Yi asked cautiously.

Is it good or bad? Ning Rusong raised his eyelashes and frowned, but it was hard to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood. "The queen has forgotten the person she once loved."

When Gu Master Cha Yi heard his fingers trembling, he quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and met his condescending gaze, which was surprisingly stern.

He stammered, "The Gu is irreversible. I can't change its effect after it's been used. The Mandarin Duck Gu was originally meant to fulfill the user's love affair, so it's not a big surprise that such a problem has arisen."

Guard Zhang, who heard everything, felt bitter but also grateful. He had watched the love struggles between His Majesty and the Empress the whole way, so this ending could be considered a good one.

On the other side, Xiao Guanzi is a complete His Majesty-only person. He does not have the worries like Guard Zhang, but is full of joy. This is great!

As luck would have it, Your Majesty still defeated the former head of the Duan family!

Ning Rushong leaned back a little, the light reflected his deep and profound expression, as well as his loss and loneliness.

"Is there no harm to the Queen's health?" Ning Rushong asked after a moment.

Cha Yi hurriedly guaranteed his life, "Absolutely no problem!"

Ning Rushong waved his hand, and Guard Zhang understood what he meant and took Cha Yi out of the study and detained him in secret.

Ning Rusong had asked the imperial physician to prepare the tranquilizer, which was very strong. He managed to keep his mind stable at this moment. He closed his eyes and applied his hands to his face. After a while, he spoke, "There is no need to investigate the past affairs between the Duan family and the queen. Issue a secret order that no one in the palace is allowed to mention the Duan family again. The maid of the Duan family must be severely punished. There must not be any accidents."

"The marriage of Yongrou and Duan Zan is entirely up to the Queen Mother. Tell me something." Ning Rusong put down his hand and said calmly, "I can allow her to have all kinds of unruly preferences for a low-ranking imperial concubine, but she is not allowed to use illness as an excuse this time."

This was the reason why Ning Rushong only demoted He Yunu's position but did not take her life. She was indeed a good tool to restrain Empress Dowager He, and she was very handy.

Xiao Guanzi bowed and saluted, not daring to be vague, "Yes, Your Majesty! I will never let the word 'Duan' reach the ears of the Queen!"

From then on, the word "Duan" became a taboo that no one in the palace could speak of.

Ning Rusong had been sleeping uneasily for the past few days. Suddenly, he felt severe pains in his abdomen. He hurriedly got up, his face pale, and woke up He Yue who was sleeping beside him, "Yueyue, wake up! You might be giving birth soon!"

While calling her anxiously, she rang a golden bell to call the palace maids in, and shouted to the palace maids who hurriedly opened the double curtains and rushed over, "The queen is about to give birth, go call the imperial physician and the midwife!"

When He Yue woke up, she saw Ning Rusong's frightened expression. He helped He Yue sit up, but he was trembling in pain, his hair on his forehead wet strand by strand. He spoke in a soft voice, "Yueyue, you should be giving birth soon. Don't panic. The imperial physician and the midwife will be here soon."

He Yue leaned in his arms, held his hand, and felt the sticky cold sweat, "Chi Jue, don't be nervous."

Calculating the time, it was clear that the queen was due to give birth. The imperial physician and the midwife had been on standby these days, and the palace maids were searching very quickly.

Doctor Lou felt the patient's pulse and found that the patient looked fine. "It will be fine soon. It is morning now. Your Majesty can have some soup and food first to accumulate some strength."

"Your Majesty, please walk a little further. It will be easier for you to push yourself later." The midwife had already prepared a nearby room for use as a delivery room. She then helped the queen slowly walk over and looked at the emperor who was about to follow. "Your Majesty, please stop. There is a saying in ancient times that dragon energy will collide with you. When your Majesty is giving birth, your Majesty can just stay outside the delivery room. I will definitely protect your Majesty and help her give birth to a dragon heir safely!"

The midwife believed in the legend of gods and ghosts very much and was extremely afraid that something might go wrong with the Queen's birth, so she bravely tried to stop Ning Rushong.

This is His Majesty's only child, and the legitimate son of the Empress. As long as he is a prince, he will definitely be the crown prince. The midwife dare not think about what will happen to her if something happens. Not only her, but also the imperial physician and all the palace people present will not escape death!

"Okay." Ning Rushong froze in place, watching the door of the delivery room close. Half of his body was numb. He was wearing a thin inner garment without even an outer garment. His long hair was a little messy. He looked extremely anxious and terrified, and he seemed to be about to collapse.

The midwife had delivered many babies for Emperor Jingmu's concubines, but she had never seen such a scene. It was amazing that the current emperor, who was high up on the throne, was in such a state of panic!

The royal family has produced a truly lovesick person!

She said to He Yue sincerely, "The Queen is very lucky, and God will also bless you. Don't be nervous. I am an old hand, and your fetal position is correct at a glance."

He Yue was still relatively calm. After all, no matter how much pain it was, it was not her responsibility. She didn't say anything, saving some strength for later.

Huiqing brought her some soup and fed her, "Your Majesty hasn't had breakfast yet, so have some now."

The delivery process was extremely long. By noon, the queen had not been born yet. Xiao Guanzi sent Xiao Ye to guard the door of the delivery room and report any news at any time.

Xiao Guanzi gritted his teeth and supported the emperor's almost falling body to the bed in the main hall bedroom.

Ning Rushong curled up in pain, as if he had been fished out of a river. Xiao Guanzi cried in pain and wiped his face with a wet handkerchief.
