The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

"Your Majesty."

The imperial physician's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees on the spot.

Xiao Tong glanced at him with an ugly expression:

"How is the Imperial Concubine?"

When he arrived, the maids in the courtyard were not at home. The imperial physician hurried to Xiao Tong's side and whispered:

"After a long labor, the Imperial Noble Consort appears to be exhausted. However, I have already performed acupuncture and administered ginseng decoction to soothe her spirits. She should be fine from now on."

Xiao Tong stared at the closed door, his heart tightening as he listened to the woman's cries of pain coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, the maid from the Xu residence will be back soon. Do you want to continue waiting here?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the imperial physician, who had disguised himself as an ordinary doctor and entered the palace, felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine is safe at the moment, otherwise, looking at the emperor's gloomy face, he would want to chop him with a knife and punish him for his incompetence.

"Go down."

Xiao Tong felt annoyed after hearing this, and his expression became even uglier.

"Yes."

The imperial physician didn't dare to say anything more. He carried his small medicine box on his back and trotted out of the yard.

As for whether the emperor would be discovered by other people in the Xu Mansion, it was none of his business.

“Ma’am, take a deep breath, push hard!

Yes, yes, yes, that's it, breathe, push hard,

Oh, I can see the young master's head now. Madam, please try harder. Listen to my voice and give it one last push."

From the room came the midwife's powerful voice and the woman's faint cry of pain. Xiao Tong paused for breath, clenched his fists, and wished he could rush into the room immediately.

But he didn't dare to take the risk. He was afraid that if he appeared in front of Niao Niao rashly, he would scare her to death.

But he couldn't leave.

Even though he was standing here, listening to Niao Niao's cries of pain, his heart filled with pain, he was reluctant to move again.

Time passed by little by little, perhaps half an hour had passed, or perhaps only an incense stick had passed, when a loud baby cry came from the room, instantly breaking the thick night and striking Xiao Tong's heart hard.

Xiao Tong's pupils shrank, and his eyes burst into infinite surprise. His long legs couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Realizing that he was approaching the door, Xiao Tong froze and slowly retreated, his fingertips trembling with excitement.

"It's born, it's born, congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, it's a little boy."

The midwife held the child, a big smile on her face, and hurriedly announced the good news.

Jiang Wumei didn't hear the midwife's last words. By the end of the birth, she was already exhausted. The moment she heard the baby crying, she let herself fall into darkness.

Qingzhi had been guarding the bedside and didn't hear Jiang Wumei's voice. When she turned around, she was immediately scared to death.

“Madam, madam!

Madam, wake up! ! ! "

Madam Liu was also standing by the bed. Seeing Qingzhi shouting non-stop, she hurried forward and glanced at Jiang Wumei's face, and said anxiously:

"Hurry, go call the doctor over."

Qingzhi was about to get up with tears in her eyes when the door was kicked open.

Xiao Tong, with a murderous look on his face, strode in, carrying a chill, and quickly approached the bed.

Seeing Xiao Tong suddenly appear here, Qingzhi was stunned and kept muttering the word "Emperor" in a low voice.

"What happened to Niao Niao?"

Regardless of the reactions of the people present, Xiao Tong didn't even look at the child. His mind was filled with Jiang Wumei, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Walking quickly to the bedside, Xiao Tong stretched out his hand and nervously felt Jiang Wumei's breath. Seeing that everyone was stunned and motionless, his brows darkened and he shouted angrily:

"Why don't you go get the imperial physician? What are you standing here for?"

Xiao Tong was furious, and the atmosphere in the room instantly froze to freezing point.

Madam Liu was the first to react and quickly pulled out a green branch:

"We'll call the doctor right away."

The midwife brought by Madam Liu had met Xiao Tong before, and she dared not breathe heavily when she saw him. The other two midwives were chosen by Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei themselves, and they were confused by the current situation.

However, seeing Xiao Tong's noble and angry face, the two midwives knew what to do and didn't say a word. They just stood there and continued to make things dirty on the bed.

The newborn baby was still crying. The midwife quickly cut the umbilical cord, wiped it clean with warm water, wrapped it up, and held it in her arms. She looked at the situation in the house, not knowing who to give the child to.

Jiang Wumei's situation is unclear, and Xiao Tong has no intention of taking care of the child.

Hearing the child crying non-stop, he frowned deeply and looked at the helpless midwife, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Take him to the nurse."

"Yes."

Knowing his identity, the midwife didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly left the room with the child in her arms.

The other two midwives looked at each other, looked at the lady of the house who was sleeping unconscious on the bed, and followed her out.

The two midwives were wondering, didn’t the young master of the Xu family go on a long journey to visit relatives?

How come on the day his wife gave birth, a strange man with such an outstanding demeanor appeared in the house?

Judging from how nervous this person was about his wife's childbirth, it was obvious that he was someone very close to her.

Could it be that these are relatives from Mrs. Xu's family, who learned that Young Master Xu was going on a long journey and came specially to accompany the childbirth?

"Don't speculate on things that don't concern you, or you'll lose your life without knowing it."

The midwife who was carrying the young master forward turned back and gave a warning, which made the two other midwives' faces change and they dared not make any more random guesses.

The poor imperial physician hadn't even had time to sit down in his room when he was rushed back to the delivery room.

In the room, Jiang Wumei had changed into a clean set of underwear, and her right hand was being held tightly in Xiao Tong's hand, which was being rubbed back and forth worriedly.

Seeing the imperial physician return, Xiao Tong's face turned cold and he asked angrily:

"Didn't you say that the Imperial Concubine was fine? Why is she in this state now?"

The imperial physician knelt down with a thud, sweat pouring down his face.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Allow me to check the Imperial Concubine's pulse and see how she is doing."

Xiao Tong glanced at him and cursed:

"Come here quickly!"

The imperial physician nodded quickly, stood up and trotted over to take Jiang Wumei's pulse.

Qingzhi stood behind the imperial physician, a look of horror on his face.

Seeing Xiao Tong looking towards him, Qingzhi no longer hesitated, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed to apologize:

"Your servant Qingzhi pays homage to His Majesty."

Xiao Tong glanced at her, his expression showing no emotion.

"Because of your loyalty to the master, I will spare your life this time.

In the future, serve the Imperial Concubine well. If I discover that you have any ulterior motives, I will take not only your life, but also the lives of your parents, brothers and sisters in the capital."

Qingzhi trembled all over and kowtowed vigorously:

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness.

I will serve you wholeheartedly and will not slack off in the slightest."

"Don't let Niao Niao know that I appeared in Xu's house today.

In the future, I will leave a team of Qilin Guards to protect Niaoniao and her son.

What you have to do is to cooperate with the Qilin Guards to ensure that there are no hidden dangers around Niao Niao.

Do you understand? "

Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed and replied:

"This servant will follow the emperor's orders."

Xiao Tong stopped looking at her and turned to look at the imperial physician who was still taking her pulse.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand and turned back to salute Xiao Tong:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is fine. She was just exhausted from giving birth and fell into a coma. She will be fine after a night's rest."

Xiao Tong was displeased:

"Don't need a prescription?"

The imperial physician was in a dilemma:

"I will prescribe a prescription to replenish Qi and blood. After your Majesty wakes up, drink it twice a day for half a month."

Xiao Tong then let him go:

"Go down and get the medicine."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The imperial physician was as if pardoned, and he packed up his medicine box and ran away.

By the time Qingzhi got up, the imperial physician had already disappeared.
