She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Shangguan Ziqi asked several maids to carry the second old lady back to her own courtyard.

Then the third old lady came.

But she has always been low-key and quiet, so Shangguan Ziqi just let her do what she wanted.

The princess's pain was becoming more and more frequent, but she hadn't heard the prince's voice for a long time, and she felt a little panicked.

"Zheng'er, where is your father?"

"The emperor had an urgent matter just now and summoned him to the palace. They will come back after they finish their discussion. Mother, don't worry, your daughter-in-law is with you." Yu Yuanzheng said half-truthfully.

When the princess heard that the emperor was looking for the prince, she stopped thinking about it. She never cared about the prince's official affairs.

The entire capital was soon under martial law.

Then the officers and soldiers searched house by house.

The emperor even cancelled the morning court session.

All the officials knew that the iron box was missing.

Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces.

Prince Jing and his son were sent by the Emperor to assist Prince Rong in the search.

Many young men from noble families in Beijing took the initiative to approach Prince Rong and asked to help find the iron box.

Zhao Jinyu is the most active one.

Inside the palace, the princess couldn't help but scream.

Yu Yuanzheng kept massaging her lower back to relieve her pain.

But as time went on, the pain became more and more intense, and Yu Yuanzheng's massage was no longer effective.

"Zheng'er, it hurts so much. Mother has forgotten what it felt like to give birth to a chess player, but now she remembers it again." The princess spoke while panting, trying to divert her attention.

"Mother is the bravest mother. Don't worry, just bear with it. The fetal position is correct, the time has come, it will be easy." Yu Yuanzheng said easily.

"With you here, your mother is not afraid. I am just worried about your father. He hasn't come back for such a long time. I don't know what happened that made the emperor summon him urgently at this time." The princess was still very worried about this matter.

The prince left even though she was giving birth to such a big thing, which shows how urgent the matter was.

"We don't need to worry about men's affairs. Mother only wants to have a cute little baby born. When he can talk, he will call you mother softly. That feeling will make my heart melt. What a happy life it is."

With Yu Yuanzheng's comfort, the princess didn't think too much about it. The pain made her unable to think about anything else.

When the two Xie sisters said that the princess's cervix was almost dilated, Yu Yuanzheng and Nanny Zhao helped the princess into the delivery room.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers and officers entered the palace, as well as several officials from the Jingzhao Yin and the Ministry of Justice.

Butler Li hurried in to report Shangguan Ziqi.

"Master, Lord Sun from the Ministry of Justice and Lord Ke from Jingzhao Yin want to inspect the scene."

"Take them with you to check it out personally, and don't miss any corner." Shangguan Ziqi ordered.

"Yes."

Shangguan Ziqi then sent the masters of each household who were waiting in the main courtyard back to their respective courtyards to cooperate with the officials in the search.

He guessed that the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Yin must have asked his father for permission before daring to enter the palace, so of course he had to cooperate.

My father is afraid that someone in the palace will rob the palace.

This had happened once before, decades ago, but it was just a few kids playing around.

So he didn't rule out this possibility.

Yu Chaoyang immediately returned to Shuxiangyuan to cooperate.

She was the most frightened of all the women in the household because the things were thrown from her hands.

Once the king and the prince come back, they will definitely interrogate her first.

As a result, several officials searched Shuxiangyuan thoroughly but found nothing unusual.

How did the thief take away such a big thing without attracting the attention of the secret guards?

Not a single trace was left.

It was as if the iron box disappeared out of thin air.

All the courtyards in the palace were searched except the main courtyard, where the princess was in labor. Shangguan Ziqi couldn't let them disturb his mother.

Just as the officers finished the search, the prince strode into the palace.

A gloomy look on his face.

When he reached the delivery room in the main courtyard, he heard the princess's scream and he regained his composure.

No matter what happens, he will hold on.

His wife is going through the greatest pain of her life.

He cannot leave Beijing today no matter what. He has to wait until his wife gives birth.

He had already arranged for An Yi to go ahead and chase in the direction of Canglan Country.

"Yuyan, I'm waiting for you outside the door, don't be afraid." The prince shouted, giving his wife strength.

He usually called her the princess, but at this moment he called her by her maiden name.

When the princess heard the prince's voice, she suddenly laughed.

Even though that smile was ugly, she was braver with him around.

When another wave of pain came, Mrs. Xie didn't even need to shout. She used all her strength to suck her breasts and let out a long scream.

Then something slid out from her lower body.

"It's born, it's born." Little Mrs. Xie shouted happily.

Everyone waiting outside the door could hear it clearly.

Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After quickly packing up, Nanny Zhao personally carried the child out of the delivery room.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. This is the eldest daughter of our palace." Nanny Zhao smiled happily.

The master finally has both a son and a daughter.

When the prince heard it was his daughter, his expression suddenly softened. He gently took it and saw the red, wrinkled little face, and his heart softened.

This is his child, his child after all these years.

The prince blinked a few times and went into the delivery room holding the child.

No one dared to stop him.

In the room, the midwife had just changed the princess's clothes.

Yu Yuanzheng has been observing whether the princess is likely to suffer from heavy bleeding.

"Princess, you have worked hard." Seeing his wife who was extremely tired, the prince forced a gentle smile and gently placed the child next to the princess.

The princess turned her head and looked at the little one tenderly.

"Your Highness, I am content." The princess said this with a smile, then tilted her head and closed her eyes.

"Princess?" The prince was startled.

"Father, don't worry. Mother is just too tired and fell asleep. She will wake up when she has rested enough." Yu Yuanzheng explained immediately.

The prince looked at the princess silently for a long time.

"Ziqi, my wife, please take good care of your mother. Your father has to go on a long journey for something. Please tell your mother on your father's behalf not to worry. I will be back when the baby is one month old."

The prince left these words, looked deeply at the princess and her daughter, and then left the palace.

He took Shangguan Zishu, Prince Jing, Prince Jing's son, Zhao Jinyu, and some of the palace's secret guards and left the capital that day.

Each of these families brought their own men, and even the eldest prince asked his personal guard Peng Heng to bring ten men to obey the prince's command.

Afterwards, the capital was searched for three days without finding anything.

Instead, they discovered two more spies' hideouts of Canglan Kingdom.

The emperor was so angry that he killed them all without even trying them.

The third master returned to his own courtyard and was called into the third old lady's room.

"Zhe'er, take a few days off and go catch up with your elder brother. Just say that you are worried about him and want to do your part." The third old lady ordered in a cold voice.

"Mother, I have already arranged the route, there will be no problem. If I chase after him, I might be exposed." The third master did not quite agree with him following the prince.

On the surface, the two brothers seemed to have a good relationship, but the third master always remained highly alert and did not dare to get too close to the prince.
