Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After drinking the labor-inducing drug for the second time, the pain in Princess Niohuru's abdomen became more obvious.

She clenched her teeth and clutched the blankets beneath her with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.

Just when she couldn't help but want to scream.

Ye Xiang, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly stuffed a soft handkerchief into her mouth.

Ye Xiang said with a trembling voice: "Princess, you must hold it in."

"If someone heard your screams and knew you were giving birth, they would definitely alarm your wife."

"By then, if Fu Jin brings the other princesses to guard us, we won't be able to do anything."

Princess Niuhulu bit her handkerchief tightly, veins bulged on her face due to pain, and tears blurred her vision.

At this moment, besides the pain, she had only one thought.

Harder! Harder! Harder!

After an unknown amount of time, a more intense pain spread throughout her body, causing her entire body to tremble slightly.

She seemed to be able to feel the small, hard skull of the baby in her belly pushing her body open bit by bit, causing her unbearable pain.

Finally, after a burst of severe pain, the baby slid completely out of her birth canal.

As the child slid out completely, a feeling of relaxation instantly surged through her body, as if all the burdens were lifted at this moment.

A faint baby cry was heard, but it quickly stopped.

And Princess Niuhulu seemed to have died once, with lifeless eyes and limp limbs as she lay on the bed.

Only when he heard the baby crying did his fingertips move slightly.

The midwife quickly cleaned the baby and wrapped it up.

Then he whispered, "Congratulations, Gege, you have given birth to a prince."

Niuhulu Gege tilted her head with difficulty and said, "Give it to me... let me see..."

The midwife held the baby in front of her. She opened her blurry eyes and looked at the child in the cradle.

It's wrinkled and red, and it's hard to tell what it will look like in the future.

However, thinking that he would soon become the concubine's child and the prince of the palace in the future, even though her whole body was in pain at the moment, her heart was filled with excitement.

Turning to look at Ye Xiang.

"Give the child to Qing'er."

"Tell her to be careful and not be discovered."

Ye Xiang nodded seriously.

Then she stood up, took the child from the midwife's hands, and carefully placed it in a special food box prepared in advance.

Then he carried the food box out of the delivery room and walked silently to the gate of the yard. Qing'er was already waiting there.

She handed the food box to Qing'er and whispered, "Be careful."

Qing'er took the food box and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, sister! I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Then he turned around and walked out of Bitong Academy, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

.........

Yinreng wore a black hooded cloak that reached down to his boots. He held the baby in his arms and wrapped it tightly in the cloak.

After Xiaoxin entered the Old Summer Palace, she was led to the delivery room of Tianran Tuhua by Nanny Sun, who had been waiting there.

Long before the prince came in, Wanlin in the delivery room had already experienced the difficult experience of giving birth.

So at this time, there were only Wanlin and Xitala Mama in the delivery room.

Wanlin, who had been carefully tidied up, had wet hair and a face as pale as paper, just like a woman who was exhausted after giving birth.

When they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in, they both knelt down and saluted.

Yinreng carefully held the baby in his arms and said softly, "Get up."

After they stood up, they saw the swaddling baby in the prince's arms, and their eyes were filled with joy.

Yinreng handed the swaddling clothes to Concubine Mu.

"I can't stay here any longer, so I'll leave the child to you."

"In the future, you must teach him well and bring him into the palace often for me and the Crown Prince to see."

Wanlin suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand."

Yinreng: "The Crown Princess named him Hongli (Li). When you give birth to a son, I will ask Khan Ama to name him and the other child together."

Wanlin nodded, "Yes."

Yinreng continued, "As for your plan, be careful and cautious. If you encounter any trouble, let me know."

Wanlin: "I understand."

Yinreng finally said, "There is a mole on the sole of his left foot, and the rosary on his wrist was left to him by the Crown Princess."

Wanlin knew that the prince gave so many instructions because he was worried about her and the child.

She said sincerely, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take good care of Hongli."

"From now on, he is my biological child."

Yinreng nodded, glanced at the child in the concubine's arms, and left without looking back.

After the prince left, Wanlin and Aunt Xitala both breathed a sigh of relief.

Wanlin looked at the sleeping baby, her eyes full of pampering and love.

The two looked at the baby in the delivery room, feeling excited and expectant.

The two of them hadn't been watching for long when someone outside brought news that Princess Nianhulu had given birth to a child.

It’s almost time, Aunt Xitala.

She placed the swaddling baby beside the bed and reminded her master.

"Concubine, it's time to lie down on the bed. I'll clean you up and make sure no one notices anything."

Wanlin gently touched the swaddling clothes and nodded with a smile.

"it is good."

After a long while, Concubine Mu lay exhausted on the bed with a baby in swaddling clothes beside her.

Aunt Xitala ordered Chuntao, who was guarding outside, to let the wet nurse who had been prepared in advance come in to take care of the newborn prince.

Soon, two women dressed as women came in and carefully carried the newborn baby boy out.

Wanlin's eyes fell on Chuntao, and Chuntao nodded imperceptibly.

After the wet nurse carried the little prince out, Aunt Xitala whispered to Chuntao.

"Tell Qing'er that there is a small black mole on the sole of the left foot of Princess Niuhulu's brother."

Chuntao nodded, then quickly left and followed the wet nurses.

After everyone left, Wanlin called Aunt Xitala over.

"Mammy, I have one more thing for you to do."

Aunt Xitala said seriously, "What are your orders, Master?"

Wanlin whispered, "When Qing'er brings 'my concubine's' prince back to Bitong Academy quietly, the people leading the concubine will inadvertently notice Qing'er's abnormality."

Aunt Xitala asked doubtfully, "Master, do you have any ideas?"

Wanlin said calmly, "I want to draw Fu Jin's attention to Princess Niuhulu!"

Xitala Mama asked, "Master, do you want the Concubine to suspect what happened tonight, and then after investigation, believe that Princess Niuhulu was so bold as to replace her child with the Concubine?"

Wanlin nodded, and a light flashed in her eyes, very bright and dazzling.

"Ah."

"Only if Princess Niuhulu's child becomes a thorn in Lady Fu's side will she stop focusing on our little prince in the future."

"It would be great if she could form an alliance with Princess Niuhulu in the future!"

Xitala Mama looked at her own princess with admiration and adoration.

The master took advantage of Princess Niohuru's ambition and killed several birds with one stone!

Not only did he make Princess Nianhulu's child a shield for the younger prince, but he also directly won over the Nianhulu clan.

In addition, the success rate of raising a little prince under the care of a concubine is extremely high, which is not comparable to a concubine who is no longer able to have children, even if she can raise a prince born to another concubine.

It would be better to form an alliance with Princess Nianhulu after knowing the truth, whether by threats or by enticement.

In the future, when the young prince ascends to the throne and recognizes his "biological mother", the wife who helped him ascend to the throne will also benefit. At least the "adoptive mother" of the concubine will no longer pose any threat to the wife!

If Fu Jin really did this, wouldn't that drag the Ulanara clan onto the young prince's boat?

With the support of the five major families, will the young prince still fail?!

Even if there are more princes in the mansion in the future, there is no need for the concubine to take action. Princess Nianhulu and the concubine will find a way to deal with it for the little prince!

Aunt Xitala felt extremely excited.

Wanlin reminded him, "Don't make it too obvious. It's best to let Fu Jin find out the 'truth' bit by bit through hard work."

"If it's too simple, Fu Jin won't believe it easily!"

Aunt Xitala nodded seriously: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

(It's vacation time. I have to go back to my hometown for the New Year. I'm afraid I'll be on my way home these two days. I may not have time to write, so I may not update for a day or two. My dears, please understand.)
