Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 745

Left with no other choice, the King of Liang went to the palace to rescue the emperor.

The Imperial Guards had no choice but to let them pass. When the Empress Dowager learned that the Empress had detained the Prime Minister, she immediately rushed to the Jiaofang Palace.

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

"Her Majesty the Empress has given birth prematurely, and it's all the Prime Minister's fault. We can't let him go now," Leng Yan stopped them.

The Empress Dowager angrily said, "How dare you! Release the Prime Minister immediately!"

King Liang said, "Mother, my sister-in-law is giving birth! Why don't we wait until she gives birth first?"

A ruthless glint flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. "Granny Su, go inside and take care of the Empress."

Granny Chen quickly stopped her, "Your Majesty, there is a divine physician inside, no need for extra people to go in."

"Ghost Hand is a man. Men and women are different. How can the Empress's body be seen by a man?" the Empress Dowager scolded unhappily. "Men are not allowed in the delivery room when a baby is born."

"Someone, go and invite the miracle doctor out."

Leng Yan quickly led his men to stop them, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the delivery room!"

The Empress Dowager was furious. "Get out of the way!"

"Since the Emperor is not in the capital, I am in charge. Release the Prime Minister first!"

Cold sweat beaded on Leng Yan's forehead. "The Prime Minister caused the Empress to have a premature birth. This is no small matter. If anything happens to the Empress or the young prince, I cannot bear the consequences."

"We can only wait for the Emperor to return before making a decision. We also hope that the Empress Dowager will reconsider, as the Empress's life is now hanging by a thread!"

As he finished speaking, Leng Yan couldn't help but shout angrily.

The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Yun Xiyue's cries from the delivery room, she knew that Yun Xiyue was very likely to have a difficult childbirth.

Fearing something might happen to the prince, she had no choice but to wait.

But they still insisted that Granny Su go in.

They started arguing immediately.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" Jiang Sijin came out from inside. She came with Gui Shou and calmed the panicked palace maids as soon as they arrived at Jiaofang Palace.

"You don't need to worry. Granny Cao is inside, and I'm also in the delivery room watching. The midwife who will deliver the Empress is someone appointed by the Emperor. The divine physician is just watching from the side, just in case."

"This delivery room is special; too many people can't go in."

"With the divine physician, Granny Cao, the palace maid Qingmei, and three midwives, that's enough. There's no need for Granny Su to go in."

"Too many people are actually not good."

Jiang Sijin came out and stopped the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager frowned. "And how is the Empress now?"

"She's only dilated to one centimeter; she should have a C-section."

The Empress Dowager exclaimed in surprise, "Cesarean section?"

"It means cutting open the abdomen and taking the baby out. This is why the Empress had to undergo a cesarean section when she was unable to give birth to a prince," Jiang Sijin explained based on what Ghost Hand had said.

The Empress Dowager turned pale upon hearing this. If things continued like this, Yun Xiyue might lose her life even without them taking any action!

Jiang Sijin looked at her and said, "Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Empress has already endured ten months of pregnancy and risked her life to give birth to the prince. If something were to happen to her now, it would be because of you, and His Majesty would be very upset if he knew."

She was trying to persuade her.

The Empress Dowager was filled with mixed feelings, and for a moment she wanted to give up.

It's up to fate. If things go wrong, Yun Xiyue might not be able to give birth and might die.

"Your Highness, Lady Yun has entered the palace."

At this moment, a palace maid came to report.

The Empress Dowager then sat down and stopped causing trouble.

When Madam Yun entered, her heart ached upon hearing her daughter's heart-wrenching cries of pain. "What's the situation now?"

"Please rest assured, Madam, with the divine physician here, nothing will happen," Jiang Sijin reassured her.

"Please take a seat first."

It's only just begun; Gong Shu has already given birth to her first child, and it's been a day since she started.

Yunxi Yue didn't conceive her third child so quickly.
