"Madam Lu, the judge said that the Imperial Hospital has something going on, and asked you to find a solution on your own."

"What did you say?"

Yuan Buwei raised her head and looked at the palace maid who reported: "The queen is having a difficult delivery, why don't they come to help?"

"I deserve to die. I didn't do my job well." The maid fell to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "I will..."

"Okay, you are just a maid, you really can't persuade them. They didn't come because they were afraid that something might happen to the queen and the child, which would affect them." Yuan Buwei took a deep breath, "First, go get some basins of hot water, and then prepare some clean scissors, candles, and swaddling clothes for the baby."

"Yes, slave, go and prepare now."

Yuan Buwei washed her hands and walked into the inner room filled with blood.

"Um...uh..."

The queen was lying on the bed, sweating profusely from the pain, her face pale. Seeing Yuan Buwei approaching, she grabbed her hand and said, "Yuan Buwei, calculate, calculate, I beg you, don't let the child survive. As long as you promise me, I will listen to you in the future."

"Empress, your child is just one step away from seeing this world. Can you bear to let him die?" Yuan Buwei gently pulled down the Empress's hand that was holding her sleeve. "Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure the safety of you and your child."

"Shan Zhaoyi, you can't go in."

Just as Yuan Buwei was preparing, the voice of a palace maid was heard outside.

"I am here to visit the Queen on the orders of the Emperor. If you don't move aside, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Yuan Buwei frowned. Why did Mu Qing come here to cause trouble at this time?

"Don't let anyone in."

Yuan Buwei yelled at the door, and the next second the door was suddenly slammed open.

"Mrs. Lu, Young Master Lu, I am useless. I cannot stop Concubine Shan."

Yuan Buwei raised her head and looked at Mu Qing, who was approaching her step by step with provocation in his eyes: "Greetings, Concubine Shan. The Queen is in danger now. Please..."

"Yuan Buwei, you are so brave."

Yuan Buwei was startled and looked at Mu Qing with some confusion: "Shan Zhaoyi, what do you mean by this?"

"You swore solemnly in front of the Emperor that you would ensure the Queen's safe delivery, but this is how you take care of her?"

"I am going to help the queen deliver her baby now. If you are not afraid, come and help." Yuan Buwei was not one to be frightened. She turned around and walked to the bed. When she turned around, she saw Shan Zhaoyi standing still. She sneered, "The maids and guards outside saw you walk in with their own eyes. I don't believe it. Your power in the palace is so great that you can cover the sky with one hand. If you prevent me from delivering the queen smoothly, the emperor will blame you, and I will drag you into the water with you."

"Yuan Buwei, how dare you!"

"See if I dare."

Shan Zhaoyi stood there for a while, and finally chose to walk towards the bed: "What do you want me to do?"

"Hold the queen, don't let her bite her tongue to death."

At this time, the palace maid brought a medicine to induce labor. After Yuan Buwei fed it to the queen, she began to prepare to deliver her baby.

After one stick of incense, the effect of the medicine gradually takes effect.

The queen began to scream.

"Don't scream, Queen. This will drain your energy. Take a deep breath and use more force."

"No, I can't do it. It hurts so much. Let me die. It hurts so much."

It was also the first time for Shan Zhaoyi to witness a woman giving birth. Her nose was filled with a strong smell of blood. The smell was different from the bloody smell on the battlefield. It was a sweet, fishy, and choking smell.

"Shan Zhaoyi, what are you doing?"

Shan Zhaoyi shuddered and looked down to see the queen's face, which was so pale that there was not a trace of blood left.

"Feed the ginseng soup on the table to the queen."

"it is good."

Human life was at stake, so Shan Zhaoyi did not dare to delay and immediately brought the ginseng soup. However, the Queen clenched her teeth and refused to let her feed her.

"Pinch her chin and feed her the soup. If she doesn't drink the ginseng soup, the baby won't be born and her life will be in danger."

"understood."

Shan Zhaoyi gritted her teeth and poured the ginseng soup into the queen's mouth.

"what……"

The queen, who was originally breathing very weakly, cried out in pain. Yuan Buwei felt her breathing and said loudly, "Breathe, breathe harder, breathe harder, follow my rhythm, Queen, you can do it, you can give birth to this child."

"No, I don't want it. It hurts so much. Ah..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Following the sound of a baby crying, Shan Zhaoyi looked at Yuan Buwei in shock: "Is it born? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl."

Yuan Buwei wiped the blood off the baby's face and body, put it in a swaddling cloth, and then held it in front of the queen: "It's a lovely little girl."

"Take it away."

The queen glanced sideways, closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.

"Shan Zhaoyi, help me hold the baby. I will help the queen deal with it and make her feel more comfortable."

Shan Zhaoyi held the child in her arms as she watched Yuan Buwei start to treat the patient. To be honest, this was the first time she saw Yuan Buwei demonstrate her so-called medical skills. But she didn't expect that when she was wiping and cleaning the queen, there was only concentration in her eyes, without a trace of disgust.

She lowered her head and thought about how Yuan Buwei had taken care of Lu Sui wholeheartedly when he was seriously injured. Was it because of this that Lu Sui was moved?

"Shan Zhaoyi, thank you for your help today. Please give the child to me."

Yuan Buwei walked towards Shan Zhaoyi and saw her looking up at her: "Is there something on your face?"

"No."

Shan Zhaoyi gave the child to Yuan Buwei and wanted to ask her something, but she didn't know how to ask: "Please pack up and come with me to see the emperor."

"Are you really sent by the Emperor?"

"What else?" Shan Zhaoyi sneered, "There is no need to involve innocent people in the grudge between you and me."

"Is that so? That means I am narrow-minded. I hope Shan Zhaoyi will forgive me."

Yuan Buwei ordered the palace maids to guard the queen, and then followed Shan Zhaoyi and the child to see the emperor.

When the emperor learned that the queen gave birth to a daughter, he was obviously relieved: "Fortunately it's a daughter, Yuan Buwei, you should find a way to get rid of this child."

"Deal with it? I don't understand what you mean."

"This child should not be in the palace." The emperor's expression had turned cold. "Deng Rong's family has all been imprisoned. If we keep her here, she won't be able to survive alone when she grows up."

"Then why did you ask the Queen to give birth to this child?" Yuan Buwei didn't understand.

"I just want the Queen to experience the pain of childbirth and make her suffer, but the harm she causes me is far less than the pain of this childbirth. It would be best if she could do it a hundred times to offset the pain in my heart."

Sure enough, when it comes to holding grudges, men hold grudges more and like to seek revenge more than women.

"But this child has already been born. Although she was born prematurely and her body is very weak, she has a strong desire to survive." As a doctor, Yuan Buwei felt pity for the newborn life, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
