"Her Majesty, Her Majesty——"

"What disturbed my sleep?"

The Queen Mother was suddenly awakened and looked at Nanny Sun with great displeasure.

Nanny Sun was delighted. "Empress Dowager, Fengming Palace launched an attack in the middle of the night. Now everyone in the harem has to go to Fengming Palace."

"What? It's launching now? Isn't there still half a month left?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately sat up, no longer feeling sleepy at all.

"I don't know either. Does the Queen Mother want to change her clothes and go to Fengming Palace now?"

"Change my clothes."

Fengming Palace was in chaos. Although preparations had been made long ago, no one expected it to happen so many days in advance, and in the middle of the night, so it was inevitable that they were a little flustered.

Basins of hot water were sent into the house, and Jiang Wange's cries of pain continued to penetrate from inside the house to outside.

Xiahou Xuan was only wearing pajamas and a cloak, pacing in the yard, very concerned about the situation inside the house.

Inside the house, the midwife was checking the dilation of Jiang Wange's cervix.

"My queen, please try harder. The hole is already five fingers wide. The little prince will be able to come out soon. Please hold on a little longer!"

Jiang Wange was born petite, so her cervix was also small, so giving birth would inevitably be more painful.

But at this time, Jiang Wange could no longer feel the pain. He was numb and had no sensation in his lower body.

She felt that all the strength in her body was gradually dissipating, and in a trance, she seemed to see herself in her previous life who had been bedridden.

"Oh no! Concubine Xi seems to be fainting. This is the critical moment of delivery. Quick, bring some old mountain ginseng to hang her up!"

The female doctor kept an eye on Jiang Wange's movements all the time. Seeing that she was almost out of strength, she quickly asked someone to ask Wen Yilan to get some old mountain ginseng to keep her going. If she fainted now, the baby in her belly would most likely die in her womb!

Wen Yilan handed over the ginseng that she had prepared long ago. The female doctor cut it into slices with a dagger and asked Jiang Wange to hold it in his tongue.

The pungent taste of the ginseng slices quickly brought Jiang Wange back to consciousness.

"The baby...is the baby out?"

Jiang Wange asked breathlessly.

"Your Majesty, not yet. Please hold on a little longer. You can't faint now. If you faint, both your Majesty and the prince will be in danger of their lives. Please bear with it a little longer."

The female doctor looked at Jiang Wange with great concern and said this. Jiang Wange felt very painful when he heard it.

Why hasn’t the baby come out after so long? Giving birth was really troublesome in ancient times!

If it were in modern times, we could just do a caesarean section, give anesthesia, and the baby would be out in half an hour. How much easier.

With the encouragement of the midwife and the doctor, Jiang Wange gritted her teeth and persevered, and her cervix finally opened to ten fingers' width.

"My Queen! I can already see the baby's head. Please try harder!"

Hearing the midwife's words, Jiang Wange gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then pushed his lower body forward!

"Hurry, hurry, the little prince's head is out!"

Then there was another round of chaos and the consciousness that Jiang Wange had finally gathered slowly drifted away again.

“Wow wow wow——”

The loud cry of a baby penetrated from inside the house to outside.

The midwife picked up the child from Jiang Wange and checked the baby's gender immediately. When she found out it was a little prince, her expression was serious.

The female doctor also leaned over to take a look, "It's a prince! Concubine Xi has given birth to a prince for your majesty!"

The female doctor ran out happily to announce the good news, but the midwife at this time had a cold expression on her face. She took out a silver needle from somewhere and was about to press it towards the baby's most vulnerable head!

"What do you want to do!"

Yufeng grabbed the midwife's wrist tightly with one hand. The midwife felt a pain in her wrist and a silver needle fell to the ground.

The voice inside also called Wen Yilan in.

"what's going on?"

Wen Yilan didn't care about the distinction between men and women and walked in immediately.

After he entered, he saw Yu Feng snatch the little prince from the midwife, holding him tightly in his arms, and then stepped on the midwife's wrist with one foot. The midwife lay on the ground motionless in pain.

"She wanted to murder the little prince! She was discovered by the servant!"

Yu Feng quickly told the truth, terrified and almost let this filthy woman succeed!

Wen Yilan was also shocked when she heard this, and immediately took the little prince from Yufeng's arms to check if he was okay.

Yu Feng asked someone to get a rope and tie up the midwife, waiting for His Majesty to come and interrogate her personally!

After giving birth to the child, Jiang Wange fell into a deep sleep, and even the little prince didn't have a chance to take a look at her.

When Xiahou Xuan heard that Jiang Wange had safely given birth to a little prince, he was very happy and immediately walked into the house.

Who would have thought that I would see such a scene.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, the midwife wanted to take advantage of the chaos to murder the little prince. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, which saved the little prince from being poisoned! Doctor Wen is now examining the little prince."

Yu Feng quickly told Xia Hou Xuan what had just happened in the most concise words.

After hearing this, Xiahou Xuan was greatly shocked, and then he was filled with tremendous anger!

But he couldn't care less about the damn midwife now. He just wanted to see how Wanwan, who gave birth to his children, was doing.

He drew aside the curtain, and a bloody smell came over him, but he showed no disgust. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, then lowered his head and placed a kiss on her sweaty forehead.

"My dear Wanwan, thank you for your hard work. Have a good sleep. Everything will be taken care of when you wake up."

Xiahou Xuan stood up and ordered Qianyue and Yujin to clean the bed and the room immediately, and then went to Wen Yilan.

"How is it, is the child okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The little prince is fine. Fortunately, Miss Yufeng was alert, otherwise it would really cause irreparable consequences."

After hearing Wen Yilan say that the little prince was safe and sound, Xiahou Xuan finally felt relieved, but then he became angry again.

He had taken every precaution, but he never expected that someone would attempt to murder the royal heir while Jiang Wange was giving birth. This was an unforgivable crime!

"Someone is coming——"

"My subordinates are here, what are your orders, Master?"

The Xuanyi Guards immediately appeared in front of Xiahou Xuan and took orders.

"Take this old woman away and interrogate her to find out who is behind this. I don't believe that a lowly midwife like her would dare to murder the heir to the throne!"

"Yes! I take my orders!"

The midwife was quickly taken away by the Xuanyi Guards for interrogation. Even if she didn't die, she would be skinned alive.

Xiahou Xuan finally had the free time to hold his and Jiang Wange's child.

The little prince's facial features were wrinkled, and Xiahou Xuan felt that he looked nothing like him, nor like Wanwan.

Wen Yilan seemed to see Xiahou Xuan's dislike for the little prince, so she smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, babies are all wrinkled like this when they are born. They will be very different in a few days. By then, they will definitely look very similar to Your Majesty and Concubine Xi."
