The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

Before she knew it, it was time for Gu Lingyue to give birth, but there was no sign of her giving birth.

Long Shang was afraid that something might happen to Gu Lingyue and he wouldn't be able to leave her side easily. Moreover, he had the imperial physician check Gu Lingyue's pulse three times a day, morning, noon and night, which made Gu Lingyue a little nervous. In the end, Gu Lingyue pretended to be angry and was spared the three pulse checks a day.

On this day, several ministers came to Long Shang to discuss the matter of opening a school.

Long Shang originally did not want to leave Gu Lingyue's side, but it was Gu Lingyue who proposed to open the school.

Although there were private schools and academies in Tianqi, most of them were only affordable for the children of nobles and wealthy families; children from ordinary families rarely went to school.

However, a country must cultivate more people of insight if it wants to develop and become strong. Gu Lingyue's suggestion was also what Long Shang was thinking.

Long Shang had witnessed modern technology in the space of Gu Lingyue. Although he never thought that Tianqi would one day be as powerful as he saw on the computer in Yue'er's space, he was certainly willing to make Tianqi take another step forward.

Therefore, Long Shang reluctantly went to the Imperial Study and left Yun Hao by Gu Lingyue's side, instructing him to inform him as soon as possible if the Empress made any moves.

Gu Lingyue felt somewhat helpless. Since they were both in the palace, if something really happened, she could have asked Yun Shu to call him, but Long Shang insisted, so she let him go.

Tang Shi had been staying with Gu Lingyue in the palace. Just as the mother and daughter were taking a walk in the courtyard of the palace where Gu Lingyue lived, Gu Lingyue suddenly stopped.

Moreover, her brows were furrowed, and she looked pained.

Tang noticed something was wrong, helped Gu Lingyue up, and asked anxiously, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"

"My stomach... my stomach hurts," Gu Lingyue said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Madam Tang hurriedly called out, "Wenxiu! Quick! Yue'er is about to give birth!"

"Go quickly and inform the Emperor. Yun Jin, Yun Shu, hurry and help your master into the house."

She dared not help Gu Lingyue up, fearing that her clumsy hands and feet would cause Gu Lingyue to fall.

When Yun Hao heard Gu Lingyue say that her stomach hurt, he had already used his internal energy to fly towards the Imperial Study. Yun Shu and Yun Jin moved very lightly but quickly, helping Gu Lingyue walk into the palace. Tang Shi followed behind, her hands trembling with nervousness.

She felt even more nervous than when she gave birth to her own child.

When Wenxiu heard from Tang Shi that Gu Lingyue was about to give birth, she rushed into the palace and said to the midwives who had been arranged in advance, "Quick! Get ready, Her Highness is about to give birth!"

Upon hearing Wenxiu say that Gu Lingyue was about to give birth, the midwives immediately began to make preparations. Although they seemed busy, everything was in good order as they waited for Gu Lingyue to come in.

Just then, as Long Shang was discussing a crucial matter with several ministers, Yun Hao suddenly burst in from outside.

Before he could say anything, Long Shang jumped up from his chair, walked around the table, and headed outside, anxiously asking, "Is Yue'er about to give birth?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Hao swallowed back what he was about to say and replied, "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Shang's figure disappeared from sight. After leaving the Imperial Study, Long Shang used his lightness skill to fly towards the palace where he and Gu Lingyue lived.

The ministers looked at each other, puzzled, not understanding what their emperor was so anxious about.

When women give birth, they can't really help much.

Meanwhile, Gu Lingyue was already lying on the bed, experiencing waves of intense pain in her abdomen, and beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.

One of the midwives examined Gu Lingyue and then respectfully said, "Your Majesty, you are only two centimeters dilated. Since this is your first pregnancy, it should be a long time before you give birth. Would you like to eat something so you can have the strength to give birth?"

Gu Lingyue knew from experience that she wouldn't give birth, but even if it wasn't time to give birth, the abdominal pain would be unbearable for her.

After the waves of pain subsided, Tang Shi tenderly wiped the cold sweat from Gu Lingyue's forehead with a handkerchief. "Your Aunt Wen has gone to get something to eat. If there's anything you particularly want to eat, just say so, and I'll make it for you."

Long Shang wasn't there at the time, and she was worried about leaving him, so she asked Wenxiu to go to the small kitchen to cook for her Yue'er.

I think the Emperor will be back soon, and then I can go and cook for Yue'er.

"Hot and sour noodles," Gu Lingyue said.

"Okay, Mom will make it for you in a bit."

No sooner had Tang finished speaking than Long Shang rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered, he anxiously asked, "How is Yue'er?"

As he spoke, he had already arrived beside Gu Lingyue.

Madam Tang quickly got up to make room for Long Shang, "It will be a while before the baby is born, Your Majesty. Please stay here with Yue'er. I will go and make some food for Yue'er."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mother-in-law."

"Isn't this what I should do? After all, I'm her mother," Tang said with a smile.

After Tang left, Long Shang held Gu Lingyue's hand, his face full of tension.

Seeing his nervous expression, Gu Lingyue couldn't help but chuckle and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just childbirth. Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor?" Her tone was relaxed, but Long Shang remained tense.

"Yes, I know, I'm not nervous."

He said he wasn't nervous, but his hand holding Gu Lingyue's was trembling slightly.

Although his wife Yue'er is a doctor, she can't deliver her own baby, which is why Long Shang is nervous.

I've heard that childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for women, and many women die from complications during childbirth. Long Shang is terrified just thinking about it, and wishes he could give birth in Gu Lingyue's place.

Seeing this, Gu Lingyue had no choice but to shut up, thinking that he should feel much better after a while.
