She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"No, it was just a dream."

But as soon as the princess finished speaking, a wave of pain came over her.

"Ouch!" the princess cried out.

The prince didn't understand.

Is it time to give birth or not?

He's been waiting anxiously these days.

The princess opened her eyes, but she felt nothing.

Then she waited for almost half a minute, and when she felt another wave of pain, the princess was sure.

"It's really time to give birth."

"Really?"

"real."

"I'll go call Ziqi's wife over." The prince only thought that Yu Yuanzheng was the best doctor in the family, but he didn't expect that a midwife had already been invited to live in the mansion.

"It's late at night, it's not that fast yet. Let's wait a little longer." The princess felt embarrassed to wake up her son and his wife at this time.

"No, I don't understand anything. I'd better let her come with me so that I can feel at ease."

The prince is very stubborn.

Without saying a word, he put on some clothes and left the bedroom.

Qiuxiang and Qiuye are on duty tonight and they sleep on the couch in the outer room.

The maids on night duty all lay in bed with their clothes on.

When I heard the door open, I got up immediately.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?" Qiu Ye asked.

"The princess is about to give birth, go and call the eldest young lady."

"Yes." The two maids were not like the prince who knew nothing.

One went to Qiyayuan, the other went to call the midwife, and by the way, asked Zhao Ma to come and take charge.

The two little maids were afraid that they could not handle the situation.

A light soon came on in the main courtyard.

When Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi heard that their mother had made some movement, they hurried over.

Even Nanhua and Yu Chaoyang came.

Finally, the second and third wives also came.

The two old ladies didn't come.

Yu Yuanzheng went straight into the bedroom.

"Mother, how do you feel now?" Yu Yuanzheng was also worried.

Because the princess is already 39 years old, an elderly mother.

"It's just the beginning of the reaction, it's still too early." The princess also had experience from her daughter-in-law's childbirth.

The prince called An Yi from outside.

"An Yi, dispatch a few more secret guards to guard the periphery." The prince was just in case.

Thinking of his daughter-in-law who was assassinated during childbirth, he was afraid that the assassins from Canglan Kingdom would rush into the palace without any regard when his wife was also giving birth.

It has happened before.

He had heard from his grandfather that once, the Canglan Kingdom sent hundreds of assassins to directly destroy the Rong Palace, taking advantage of the time when the princess of that generation was giving birth.

"Yes, master." An Yi accepted the order.

Then he called over a few secret guards from the outer courtyard study and the Shuxiang Courtyard.

The princess's labor pains had just begun, so they weren't going very fast. Plus, it had been so long since she'd given birth, her cervix must have been dilating very slowly.

At this time, in the third old lady's room.

"Mother, my sister-in-law giving birth is a good opportunity." The third master bowed respectfully to the third old lady.

"What do you mean?" The third old lady didn't understand for a moment.

"There are always fifteen secret guards guarding the sub-courtyard. We have no way to attack. But just now, the eldest brother asked An Yi to transfer some people to the main courtyard. Now there are only eight secret guards in Shuxiang Courtyard."

After hearing this, the third old lady thought about it seriously before making up her mind.

"Okay, let's get started. But we need to time it right. We need to make sure we can get out right after the city gates open. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave the city and will be easily discovered. We need to pay attention to every step and not make any mistakes. We can't let this plan, which we've been working on for so long, fall apart."

"Yes, son knows." After getting the consent of the third old lady, the third master immediately began to arrange the action.

It was the middle of the morning (two o'clock) when a conspiracy quietly unfolded.

In the main courtyard, the princess continued to sleep with Yu Yuanzheng by her side, allowing her to seize the time to sleep between the two pains.

Only if you get enough rest can you have energy when the time comes.

The princess was very obedient. She would make the most of every moment, even if it meant taking a short nap.

It was not until dawn that the five fingers were opened.

At this moment, a secret guard came running over.

"Your Highness, this is bad. The iron box is missing." It was a secret guard guarding Shuxiangyuan.

"What?" The prince was shocked when he heard it.

He jumped up with Qing Kung Fu and flew away immediately.

Yu Chaoyang also heard this.

She took a look at it when she came out and put it on the table in the middle of her bedroom. She dialed it a few times before going to bed.

For so many days, she fiddled with it whenever she had nothing to do, but she never succeeded.

She gradually lost interest, but would still dial a few times occasionally to try her luck.

She also immediately ran to Shuxiangyuan. If the iron box was lost in her hands, she would be the sinner of the entire Shangguan family, no, the sinner of the entire Wei Dynasty.

Shangguan Ziqi also heard it, and let Qingfeng push him quickly towards Shuxiangyuan.

The prince went to Shuxiangyuan and heard the secret guard say that the place where the iron box was placed before was indeed empty.

Several secret guards hiding in the dark appeared and knelt before the prince one by one.

"Speak." The prince's words were so cold that they could kill people. His face was as black as ink.

"My lord, Chief An Yi has transferred seven of his brothers away, so our field of view has been reduced by half. We just changed our positions slightly, and the iron box disappeared, and we didn't notice anyone appeared at all." A secret guard replied.

"So you didn't even show up, you just discovered the box was missing?"

"Yes."

The prince carefully checked the entire bedroom and didn't see even a footprint, which shows how powerful the other party's martial arts skills are.

The windows were closed, so it was impossible to see how the thieves stole things.

The prince slammed his fist on the table, and without stopping, he walked out of Shuxiangyuan and saw his eldest son sitting in a wheelchair.

My mind immediately went around in circles before I spoke.

"Ziqi, guard the palace and your mother well. I'm only telling you that your father has to leave the palace for an urgent matter. I'll apologize to your mother when I return."

The prince ordered in a cold voice.

Then he went to the outer study and called over the housekeeper Li, with An Yi and An Er waiting by his side.

"An Yi, take this king's token and inform the city guards to close all four gates of the capital. No one is allowed to leave."

"Butler Li, send someone to inform the prince immediately and ask him to come back immediately."

The theft of the iron box is a big deal.

The second and third masters also got the news quickly and rushed over.

"Brother? Was the iron box stolen?" The two men looked anxious, without a trace of falsehood.

"Yes."

"Brother, take me with you and we will go look for it together right away." The second master boasted.

This is the best time to show his performance, how could he let it go.

"Brother, there's me too." The third master also requested, with an expression as sincere as possible.

"Second brother, you only know how to eat and play, so don't make trouble. Third brother, you are a scholar, and you have no martial arts skills. I don't think you can ride a horse far. You should stay in the palace and guard the palace with Ziqi. Your sister-in-law is giving birth now, so I'll leave the eldest brother to you." The prince said hurriedly.

Then he strode out of the palace.

This matter was of great importance. He had to go to the palace first.

The city gate was opened for less than a quarter of an hour before it closed again.

As soon as the prince entered the palace, he immediately confessed his crime to the emperor.

The emperor was so angry that he punched the prince twice.

"How?"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to assign blame. I ordered all city gates to close before entering the palace, but I fear the thieves have already left the capital. Please, Your Majesty, immediately issue an order to all border checkpoints, prohibiting the release of any suspicious individuals and strictly enforcing them."

"Well, I will issue an order now. You should organize an investigation as soon as possible. This must have been done by the people of Canglan. If you chase in that direction, you will definitely catch them." The emperor immediately thought of this possibility.

"Yes."

No one in the palace told the princess about this matter, and Shangguan Ziqi strictly ordered everyone to keep quiet.

The second old lady wanted to come and see the princess, but Chunlei stopped her outside the main courtyard and did not let her in.

"Why won't you let me in? I'm just concerned about the princess." The second old lady was about to hit someone angrily, but Chunlei stopped her with a finger.
