Ru Guhan's south room now had everything except a bed. Baozhi rushed to the main hall to report the news.

When Suo Chun got the news, she immediately picked up An Lingrong and trotted to the bed in the main hall.

Blood kept dripping from the hem of the skirt, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

Chen Xun didn't need to feel the pulse. As soon as he entered the main hall, the bloody smell hit him. He immediately reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qian is about to give birth. Let's get ready."

This matter was too unexpected. Fortunately, the palace maids that Jiang Ruyin brought with her knew everything about her. They immediately found the midwife that Jiang Ruyin had prepared, and the palace maids also got busy.

Jiang Ruyin lowered her brows, "Suochun and Shudong will stay. Shudong will watch in the inner room, and Yuan Beishan will guard in front of the palace."

"Bind Autumn and lock Spring, follow me to the South Chamber."

Walk through the corridor and enter the west courtyard, which is the South Room.

Lin leaned against the door in a daze. Aunt Xiao was the first to react and quickly knelt down, "Madam, please come quickly. I pay my respects to the Concubine Fang."

Lin almost prostrated herself on the ground and saluted.

Jiang Ruyin sat firmly in the main seat and said calmly, "Noble Qian has started bleeding, and now we must prepare for the birth. The midwife I found earlier is now in use."

Lin knelt on the ground, her lifeless eyes moved, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can this humble subject take a look at Rong'er?"

Jiang Ruyin sighed and said, "If Noble Qian is overly concerned and emotionally agitated, then of course it's possible. But the pain on Noble Qian's face is truly alarming. I wonder if Madam could explain this to me."

In Lin's mind, the voices of the Queen and An Lingrong collided with each other, making her scalp numb. But at this time, even if she believed An Lingrong, she would never dare to say it out loud.

Aunt Xiao held onto Lin's arm and turned her head away, not daring to look at Jiang Ruyin.

Behind the two of them, Suo Chun appeared silently and nodded.

Jiang Ruyin said, "Forget it, both of you stop kneeling and get up. I'll go see Noble Lady Qian first."

All the palace maids of Ru Gu Han Jin were busy in the main hall, so if someone took advantage of the chaos to come in at this time, they might not be noticed.

Jiang Ruyin looked towards the gate with a gloomy gaze.

Suochun whispered, "Baozhi has something to say to the Empress."

The three of them were whispering at the corner of the corridor, while Suochun was standing alone at the end of the corridor, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully.

As soon as Baozhi finished speaking, Jiang Ruyin called Fuqiu almost immediately.

"do you understand?"

Fu Qiu sorted out the clues and said, "I understand."

"Go, go tell Cao Qinmo."

Baozhi remained kneeling and kowtowed gently, "Your Majesty, please allow me to see the Emperor."

Jiang Ruyin said with a pleasant expression, "Why?"

Baozhi said seriously, "I am willing to sacrifice my life to expose the Queen's mask for Her Majesty and Noble Lady Qian."

Jiang Ruyin smiled, "You are truly loyal. I just don't know how I feel about this. When Lady Qian's life was hanging by a thread, her loyal servant didn't stay by her side."

Baozhi was excited.

"Later, do as you wish. But now, go and stay with Concubine Qian." Jiang Ruyin said.

Jiang Ruyin turned around, "Suochun, come here."

Suo Chun hurriedly trotted to Jiang Ruyin's side.

"I remember there was a maidservant who served Wanpin before. After Wanpin moved away, she was not taken with her and was told to serve Madam An in the South Chamber."

Suo Chun thought about it and said, "Hmm, it seems that she works under Aunt Shudong, and her name is Liu'er."

......

......

Yuan Beishan, with his belly bulging, stared at the palace maids coming in and out with a stern look on his face. When he saw Jiang Ruyin, he immediately smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, be well."

Jiang Ruyin nodded and said, "Tell your men to guard all the exits of Ruguhanjin and not allow anyone else to enter. Then go report to the emperor and tell him everything you know. Oh, you can also report to Taohuawu on the way."

Yuan Beishan got the order and left.

Jiang Ruyin asked from behind the screen, "How is Consort Qian?"

It was Lin Jie who replied, "The heir is fine, but the young lady is not strong enough. I can only prescribe a nourishing prescription for you to relax."

That meant everything was fine for now. Jiang Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief. "Shudong, pass on my order. Feel free to take whatever you need. If my storehouse doesn't have it, go to the Imperial Hospital or the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After saying that, Jiang Ruyin entered behind the screen and replaced Shu Dong's position.

Jiang Ruyin then discovered that An Lingrong's eyes were red and swollen, tears were still falling from the corners of her eyes, and she opened her mouth wide and inhaled silently like a dying fish.

Baozhi knelt beside her, holding An Lingrong's hand tightly and muttering something.

Jiang Ruyin looked reluctant.

After a while, Suochun came back and stood beside Jiang Ruyin. "Your Majesty, I have checked the area and didn't see anyone suspicious."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and An Lingrong could just hear it.

Jiang Ruyin only had time to give her an admiring look before she heard An Lingrong calling her in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Ruyin ignored the pungent smell and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Only when I got closer did I see that there were dried tear marks on An Lingrong's temples, and her usually neat bangs were messily stuck to her forehead. In her ears, she could hear Baozhi reciting the Great Compassion Mantra at a very fast speed.

An Lingrong's voice was so soft that Jiang Ruyin had to move closer to hear her say, "I don't want to die."
