The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

When Jingxue saw the golden-armored guards, she immediately thought of Li Shi, because it was Jin Shisan who had come.

"Is it about my mother?" Jingxue asked.

"Your Highness, the lady gave birth to a boy this morning, and both mother and child are safe!" Jin Shisan said, bowing.

"Oh! You didn't make this special trip just to tell me this, did you? Is there anything else?" Since mother and child are safe, why bother sending the Golden Armor Guards? It's not like I'm not going back.

"Your Highness, since we didn't prepare a wet nurse beforehand, Madam intends to breastfeed herself. However, Madam's health doesn't allow it. Physician Baili considered that Madam would still be breastfeeding, and that using herbal decoctions wouldn't be suitable. So he sent me to ask Your Highness if you have any better methods?"

"Alright, I understand. I'll head back as soon as possible." Jingxue frowned.

"Subordinates resign!"

Ye Muchen had been listening the whole time. After watching Jin Shisan leave, he said, "Xue'er, if there are any things left to arrange here, leave the rest to Xiao Jing. Let's go back and see your mother first."

Jingxue was still thinking about what might cause a new mother to have no breast milk, and what else she should bring for Li and the newborn.

Hearing Ye Muchen's words, she came to her senses and said, "The soybeans and sweet potatoes were harvested last night. The soybeans are in a hurry to be threshed, and it's still the New Year! Let everyone rest for a few days and talk about it after the Lantern Festival!"

She continued, "I just didn't expect my mother to go into labor early; the due date was still several days away!"

Ye Muchen didn't understand any of this. "Then let's go back with Xiao Jing!"

"it is good!"

Actually, when Li started the attack last night, she didn't intend to alert anyone.

Upon hearing the commotion, Jin Twelve and Thirteen immediately returned to Yue'an Palace to report.

The retired emperor had just fallen asleep when he heard the report. He quickly got up, pulled Baili Zhan along, and made him take the medicine box to Lengyan Palace.

"Your Majesty, I've already checked Lady Zhiyuan's pulse. This isn't her first pregnancy, so she'll be fine." Baili Zhan was pulled out of his warm bed, feeling uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

"Shut up! Jingxue isn't in the capital. If something happens to Lady Zhiyuan, that brat could tear down Yue'an Palace. Do you believe me?" The Emperor Emeritus turned and glared at Baili Zhan.

Baili Zhan pouted, "Then I'll go! Why are you coming with me so late?"

"What do you know? If I take you there, that girl will owe me a favor, and it will also lessen her anger about what we did that night."

Baili Zhanxin said, "If you hadn't done those things, none of this would have happened, would it? I really don't know what this old man is after."

The cold wind of midnight pierced their necks, and by the time the group reached the Cold Smoke Palace, their eyebrows and beards were covered in frost.

Upon seeing the Emperor Emeritus arrive, the guards opened the gate for them without even informing General Wei.

Jing Zhiyuan was pacing in the main hall when he heard a noise at the gate. He came out and saw the Emperor Emeritus entering with Eunuch Xi and Baili Zhan. He quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Oh dear! What time is it? Why are you bowing? Quickly let A-Zhan in to see him," the Emperor Emeritus scolded.

Jing Zhiyuan withdrew his hand and let the Emperor Emeritus go in first.

There was no one in the main hall. Xiaoman and Lixia's fathers were helping to boil water, while their mothers were in the bedroom with Li Shi.

Seeing this situation, Eunuch Xi ordered the young eunuch accompanying him to fetch a charcoal stove to boil water for tea, as the woman was about to give birth and there was still a long wait ahead!

"Ah Zhan, go in and take a look!" the Emperor Emeritus said.

"Yes!" Baili Zhan responded, and only went in after receiving permission at the entrance of the sleeping quarters.

"Your Majesty, it's so late. Why are you coming over? Yunya seems fine." Jing Zhiyuan didn't understand the Emperor Emeritus's intentions.

The Emperor Emeritus cleared his throat. "Well, well, Mu Chen and Jing Xue went to the estate. They're not here. Your wife is about to give birth, so I had to bring people to check on her!"

This was the first time Jing Zhiyuan had ever seen the Emperor Emeritus stutter. "Oh! Isn't Xue'er a hostage? Can she leave the palace?"

"Ah? The negotiations have already ended, and the delegation is returning on the sixth day of the month." The Emperor Emeritus did not want to continue this topic.

"That's great! The opening of border trade will benefit the people of both countries."

At this moment, Baili Zhan came out of the bedchamber, and Jing Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Zhan, is my wife alright?"

“My sister-in-law is fine, but childbirth takes time for a woman, so let’s just wait!” Baili Zhan replied.

Two eunuchs came over, one carrying a charcoal stove and the other a kettle, to boil water and make tea.

Jing Zhiyuan felt embarrassed to keep the two of them here, so he said, "Your Majesty, since A-Zhan said Yun Ya is alright, why don't you go back and rest?"

The Emperor Emeritus waved his hand, "We're already here. Let's wait until the child is born before we go back! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"

Baili Zhanxin said, "Come on! You're just worried about your daughter-in-law, aren't you? Afraid that girl will come after you?"

The three chatted casually, and occasionally a suppressed scream would come from inside.

Jing Zhiyuan originally wanted to spend quality time with his wife during the birth of this child, but unexpectedly the Emperor Emeritus arrived.

After midnight, Li's cries intensified, and half an hour later, the baby was born smoothly with a loud "waa waa".

Xiaoman's mother came out carrying the swaddled baby. "Master, Madam has given birth to a baby boy. Mother and child are both safe!"

Jing Zhiyuan stood up excitedly, rushed over and took the child. This was the first time he had ever held a newborn baby, but it was already his third child.

"How is Yunya?" Jing Zhiyuan asked.

“Madam is tired and a little weak right now, but we have already given her some ginseng slices to suck on,” Xiaoman’s mother replied.

"Then let her rest!"

"Sir, we don't have a wet nurse."

Jing Zhiyuan didn't understand any of this, so he turned to look at the Emperor Emeritus.

The Emperor Emeritus: Where are we supposed to find a wet nurse in the middle of the night? Besides, this is the Cold Smoke Palace; not just anyone can come in.

Baili Zhan said, "Madam can breastfeed herself!"

Xiaoman's mother replied, "I mentioned it to Madam before, and Madam said that the conditions here are limited. She wants to breastfeed this baby herself, but Madam, you have never breastfed before, and I don't think it's very feasible."

Of all the people in the main hall, only Baili Zhan understood what was going on. "Then I'll go in and take a look."

Jing Zhiyuan held the child, at a loss. At this moment, he suddenly regretted that he had fought for the country for half his life, but now he couldn't even do this small thing. What was he going to do with such a small child?

He turned around, took a few steps, and knelt before the Emperor Emeritus. "Emperor Emeritus, I dare not ask for anything. Could you please send this sinful subject a ewe? Otherwise, I fear this child will not survive!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't there Ah Zhan here? Besides, there are plenty of ewes. Get up now!" The Emperor Emeritus looked at Jing Zhiyuan, who had spent half his life on the battlefield, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

A person whom even a thousand armies couldn't stop is now kneeling down and begging me for milk for her child.

The thought in the Emperor Emeritus's mind became even clearer and more definite.
