Zhang Lin led his soldiers to approach the village quietly. He gave his men a wink, and they all drew their weapons and attacked the Ye family by surprise.

The two sides instantly fell into a melee, with Zhang Lin leading the charge and acting extremely bravely.

Inside the palace, Shen Leyan was lying in her bedroom to rest when she suddenly heard shouts and cries of killing coming from outside.

The guards fought hard, but the secret guards led by Ye Chen were well-trained and quickly broke through the defense line.

"The empress is not good!"

"Thieves have broken into the palace. Quickly protect the Queen and evacuate!"

The palace servants panicked and ran around everywhere.

The palace guards outside the palace fought hard and the battle was very fierce.

The Royal Guards fought hard and the battle was extremely fierce.

Shen Leyan was shocked when she heard the news. She didn't expect that it was just as Emperor Yong'an thought. The Ye family actually made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and directly broke into the palace.

She immediately forced herself to calm down, took out the token given to her by Emperor Yong'an, and asked someone to dispatch the Imperial Guards immediately.

"My lady, you can't stay here any longer."

"Let us escort you to the secret passage to hide first. You must not make any mistakes!"

"It will take a while for the Imperial Guards to arrive. If the guards outside are defeated and the Ye family members break in first, it will be too late."

After hearing this, Shen Leyan decisively agreed. She couldn't take the risk of gambling.

If it were before, she would definitely choose to stay and stabilize the order among the palace people.

But now she is about to give birth and can't care about so many things.

The maids in Jingren Palace vowed to protect the Queen even at the cost of her life.

If something happened to the Queen, it might result in two deaths. Even if they survived by chance, the Emperor would not forgive them when he returned.

Shen Leyan ran towards the secret passage with the help of the palace maids, but she had not gone far when she felt unbearable abdominal pain. She held her stomach with both hands and broke out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother had arranged for the midwife to stay with them earlier, and she was accompanying them now.

When the midwife saw Shen Leyan's condition, she knew that she must have had a miscarriage and was about to give birth.

"I can't leave. The Queen is about to give birth."

"What should I do?"

For a while, you forgot about me and I forgot about you, and I didn’t know what to do.

Shen Leyan was in so much pain that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. She could only point at the door next to her with her trembling hands.

Qinglian calmed down and immediately understood, "Help the queen into the room quickly!"

When the palace maids heard this, they hurriedly helped Shen Leyan go in and lie down.

The sounds of fighting outside continued to be heard, and each sound seemed to knock on everyone's heart.

Although the midwife was experienced, she was still nervous in this situation. While comforting Shen Leyan to relax, she directed the palace maids to prepare hot water, clean cloth and other things.

But where can I prepare these things now?

Cai Yue had already prepared all these things, but they were all placed in Jingren Palace.

The situation outside is unclear and full of dangers at the moment. How can we go back and get these things?

Caiyue and Zhiyue looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds and said, "Let's go get it!"

"I'll go with you."

"The Queen must be left with someone to take care of her. Qinglian, you stay here."

"Zhiyue is right. I know where the cloth is. I'll go get it directly."

"Then I'll go to the kitchen. I think there should be hot water there."

"Be careful, we'll be waiting for you here!"

The two nodded. For Shen Leyan, they would risk their lives to get the things back.

The two carefully avoided the people fighting outside and went to look for cloth and hot water separately.

At this time, Shen Leyan almost fainted from the pain, but she knew she couldn't close her eyes.

"My queen, please hold on a little longer. Zhiyue and Caiyue will be back soon."

"Empress, please relax and conserve your energy."

Ye Chen knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be.

So he rushed into Jingren Palace with a small group of people, but he didn't expect that there was no one inside.

He led his men to fight with the guards while searching for the queen. He knew that the queen could not run far with her big belly and must be hiding in a room somewhere.

But the palace was so huge, with thousands of rooms, and they simply didn't have the time or energy to search each room one by one.

Caiyue hurried all the way to Jingren Palace and was almost discovered several times along the way.

After finally arriving at Jingren Palace, they found it in a mess, with cloth scattered all over the floor.

Fortunately, they helped Shen Leyan escape from the bedroom in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

There was no time to rejoice, she hurriedly picked up some clean ones and turned around to rush back.

Zhiyue rushed to the kitchen, which was also in chaos, with pots and pans scattered everywhere.

She found a bucket of still warm water in the corner, picked it up and ran back.

On Shen Leyan's side, the pain became more and more intense, and her body became weaker and weaker, and the midwife was extremely anxious.

"Forget it, I won't wait for them."

"The Empress is in such a state that she can't wait any longer. I'm afraid that if we delay any further, the Empress and the little prince will be in danger."

Qinglian nodded. She wanted to rush out to take a look several times, but she couldn't leave.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhiyue and Caiyue ran in one after another.

Without saying anything more, she handed the thing in her hand to the midwife in one go, then sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The midwife took the cloth and hot water and hurriedly delivered Shen Leyan. Listening to the instructions, Shen Leyan gritted her teeth and pushed hard.

At this time, the Imperial Guards finally arrived and started a desperate fight with the Ye family forces and gradually gained the upper hand.

The sounds of fighting outside gradually weakened, and it seemed that the situation had changed.

"Wow——" A baby cried and the child was born safely.

"gave birth!"

"The Queen has given birth!"

"It's a little prince!"

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, with relieved smiles on their faces.

At this time, news came from outside that the Royal Guards arrived in time and had captured all the thieves of the Ye family.

After hearing the news, the exhausted Shen Leyan pulled the corners of her mouth and finally closed her eyes with peace of mind.

When everyone saw Shen Leyan unconscious, they immediately surrounded her nervously.

"The Queen?"

"The queen is unconscious, quickly call the imperial physician!" Qinglian shouted loudly.

Caiyue and Zhiyue, who were taking care of the little prince, heard the noise and their eyes suddenly turned red. They immediately ran to Shen Leyan's bed.

"what happened?"

"Don't worry, the queen might have just been too tired from giving birth, so she fell asleep."

"Your Majesty will be fine. The imperial physician will be here soon." Qinglian pretended to be calm.

In fact, she was very scared because the Queen had just lost a lot of blood when giving birth.

At this moment, she lay weakly on the bed, her face pale. If she hadn't just reached out to check the Queen's breath, she would have worried that something had happened to her...
