My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 63 Heartbreaking

Chen Zhaoyi was due to give birth in the next two days. She just heard that the emperor knew that she had taken the pill to change her pregnancy. Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong, she was still very panicked and felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

When Bai Ningwei got the news, she immediately rushed over to take charge of the situation.

But this time, she didn't have to worry too much. Chen Zhaoyi had already made all the arrangements, fearing she might tamper with the situation. Now, she just had to wait for the results.

Perhaps it was because she was young and had a good foundation, but after just over an hour, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the delivery room.

Bai Ningwei looked around and didn't see Xiao Duo's ceremonial procession, so she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

How come it’s been so long and the emperor hasn’t come yet?

She didn't know about the fetal-changing pill yet, so naturally she didn't understand why Xiao Duo, who had been paying attention to this pregnancy, had not shown up yet.

Not only did Xiao Duo fail to show up, but the delivery room was completely silent, with no sign of joy at all, even though it was clearly a good thing that both mother and child were safe.

Chen Zhaoyi fainted after taking one look at the child. The midwives looked at each other, avoiding each other, and no one was willing to carry the little prince out to announce the good news.

Chen Zhaoyi's personal maid also looked pale at this moment, and was completely at a loss.

Bai Ningwei, who was waiting outside, lost her patience and asked outside. Finally, a midwife gritted her teeth, picked up the child and walked out.

He was still mumbling.

"It's impossible to hide it. Having children is not something we have the final say on."

Even so, the midwife still flinched when she actually carried the child out of the delivery room. She hesitantly held the child in front of Bai Ningwei.

"Greetings to Her Majesty, Consort De. Consort Chen has given birth to a little prince, and both mother and child are safe."

The midwife's face looked really ugly. Bai Ningwei felt that something was wrong, so she didn't go to open the swaddling clothes herself.

"What's wrong with this child?"

Otherwise, why would the midwife look so unlucky that her whole family would die? That’s not the rule in the palace.

"You'd better read it yourself, ma'am."

The midwife closed her eyes and opened a small hole in the swaddling clothes, revealing a red, wrinkled baby's face.

Bai Ningwei's brows jumped when she saw this.

There is a black spot the size of a little fingernail on the child's chin.

The little prince in the previous life didn’t have this thing. Could something have gone wrong?

"Hang Lu, go to the Imperial Study and deliver a message saying that Consort Chen is pregnant with a dragon son..."

"Miss."

The midwife interrupted Bai Ningwei, thinking it was time to give her a warning. Don't let the emperor come so happily, only to become furious after learning the truth. Otherwise, no one will be safe.

"I roughly counted and found that the little prince has dozens of these black spots on his body."

The midwife said the last two words in a low voice, as if as long as she spoke quietly enough, things would go as she wished and nothing would get out of hand.

"What? Dozens?"

Bai Ningwei found it unbelievable. She didn't know medicine, but she could guess that a normal person shouldn't have so many black spots.

"Cai He, take all the palace maids waiting outside to the side hall and lock them up."

Bai Ningwei cleared out all the palace maids who were unaware of the truth before calling in Imperial Physician Zhang.

"Doctor Zhang, come and take a look."

Doctor Zhang, who was standing by, had already heard the midwife's words and felt weak all over. With trembling hands, he unwrapped the swaddling clothes a little more and saw more than a dozen black spots on the little prince's chest. He closed his eyes in despair.

"My lady, this is a mole on the hide."

"Animal mole? What's wrong with that?"

"Your Majesty, the animal hide mole is not only black, but also has hair, and it will grow larger as the little prince grows up."

"what?!"

Bai Ningwei, who had lived two lives and had nobleness and elegance engraved in her bones, could not maintain her composure at this moment and took a step back with an exclamation.

Bai Ningwei knew very well that the animal skin mole was not just a disfigurement, the child would be defined as a freak.

Freaks were considered ominous in ancient times.

He is also a child of the royal family. If he is not handled properly, the previous dynasty may criticize His Majesty for his lack of virtue and that this is a warning from God.

"Wrap the child up. Hezi is guarding the palace gate. No one except Your Majesty can open it. Go and invite Your Majesty."

Gualü took the order and left. Hezi took people to guard Chen Zhaoyi's palace gate closely to prevent anyone from approaching at this time.

"Where is Chen Zhaoyi?"

"Chen Zhaoyi fainted after taking one look at the little prince."

This was because he fainted due to anger when he saw that his child's face was disfigured and he had no chance of becoming the emperor.

Bai Ningwei stopped paying attention to her and asked Doctor Zhang instead.

"Does the Imperial Physician know what causes this animal hide mole?"

Bai Ningwei was a little panicked. If this matter was linked to the emperor's moral flaws, countless people in the imperial court and harem would be implicated. Since she was involved, she had to think about how to protect herself.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Chen took something she shouldn't have."

"How could there be something in the palace that shouldn't be eaten?"

"Bring out everyone in the delivery room. I'm going to interrogate them one by one!"

When the senior palace maid was brought out, she was very smart and knew that disaster was about to happen, so she took out the wax seal of the rebirth pill.

"Your Highness, this was brought in from outside the palace by the Countess. Our Highness only ate this, and I felt something was amiss at the time, so I put the wax package away."

Bai Ningwei didn't take it, but asked Doctor Zhang to bring it over for inspection.

Doctor Zhang smelled it, then reached in and scraped inside the wax seal to taste it, and finally nodded, confirming it without a doubt.

Xiao Duo also arrived at this time. This time he only brought Wang Xi and An Jiu with him, without any ceremonial guards. It was obvious that he didn't want to make this matter public.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best to keep the news secret. Everyone who knows about it is here."

Apart from Bai Ningwei's palace maid and Imperial Physician Zhang, there were only three midwives and two senior palace maids in the delivery room who saw the little prince.

The other palace maids only helped to serve water, and were later sent to a side hall by Bai Ningwei and kept under guard.

Xiao Duo just glanced at the child and looked away in disgust.

He didn't even have to say anything, Wang Xi already understood.

Wang Xi stepped forward and took the little prince from the midwife's arms, then turned around and put the baby into Anjiu's arms.

"Xiao Anzi, there's no need for me to teach you what to do."

Wang Xi was indeed a cunning old man, always finding an opportunity to eliminate dissidents at such times. Ever since An Jiu became the leader of the Yanwu Guard and Xiao Duo's eyes and ears outside the palace, Wang Xi had regarded this adopted grandson, whom he had once considered a source of support and care, as a thorn in his side.

This time he finally found a good opportunity. Although the little prince had made a decision on how to deal with the emperor, it did not mean that the person who solved this problem for the emperor would get anything good.

After all, he is a prince. Whether he does it or not, don’t expect the outcome.

An Jiu took the child, his expression unchanged, but he looked up at the emperor and Bai Ningwei.

The two were seen standing side by side. Bai Ningwei stepped forward, half supporting His Majesty, and was whispering softly to comfort the emperor who was in a complicated mood.

Several palace maids stood guard on one side with their heads down.

The scene was so appropriate and harmonious that it naturally made him feel dazzled.
