The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Jinling, standing outside the Donghua Gate of the imperial city in the center of the south city, all the civil and military officials have already gathered here. Zhang Li, as the head of all the officials, looks anxious at this moment. He keeps walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking at the tightly closed Donghua Gate for a while, and then looking at the Imperial Road.

"Dad, don't worry. His Majesty will be here today." His son Zhang Ye, now the director of the Imperial College, said calmly.

Zhang Li glanced at his son, nodded slightly and said, "It's really a coincidence that both of you ladies are about to give birth today, and now..."

At this point, he looked towards the Imperial City and said, "I hope the birth goes smoothly and everything goes well."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye looked towards Donghua Gate and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. Today both of your wives will give birth to heirs. This is a double blessing."

"I don't know whether it's the joy of having a son or a daughter, or maybe..." Speaking of this, Zhang Ye pursed his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Zhang Li was anxious and had a frown on his face, but when he heard this, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his old and weathered face. He moved closer to his son and whispered in his ear:

"Zi Sheng is going to be a mother, and as her brother, you should also..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ye's face turned slightly red. He took a step back and whispered, "Why are you dragging me into this..."

Zhang Li rolled his eyes at his son, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and whispered, "You are not a child anymore. It's a bit late to talk about this. You should talk about marriage as soon as possible."

“I’m still waiting to hold my grandchildren.”

Zhang Ye said in a humming voice, "Isn't it going to be a hug soon?"

Zhang Li glared at his son: "How can it be the same?"

Then, he took another step forward and said, "Tell me if you have a lover. If not, I'll find one for you..."

Zhang Ye took another step back and said helplessly, "Okay, Dad, stop worrying about me."

Zhang Li sighed: "My health is getting worse day by day. How many years do you think I have left..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Ye quickly covered his father's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense on such a happy day."

Zhang Li said in a muffled voice: "Then tell me, you..."

Zhang Ye's face turned slightly red, and he whispered something in his father's ear. Zhang Li immediately smiled, but Zhang Ye's entire face turned red.

"Good boy, you kept it a secret so well. When will you..." Zhang Li pointed at his son with a smile on his face. Just as he finished half of the sentence, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Before he looked up, the officials around him had already shouted with joy.

"Quick! Come and get me!"

"Your Majesty is back!"

-

"I'm coming!"

Inside Kunning Palace.

The sweaty maid hurriedly carried a basin of hot water to the door of the palace. The midwife who had been waiting at the door immediately took it and said in a low voice: "Don't shout or you will scare the queen!"

The maid nodded quickly: "Yes, Mammy."

"Don't boil the water too hot, nor too cold. Send it over when you call." The midwife instructed and carried the basin of hot water into the bedroom.

But before she had taken a few steps, the midwife almost bumped into someone. Fortunately, she held on to the basin of water tightly and did not fall. However, she was still so scared that her heart was pounding and her face turned pale.

"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I'm..." As soon as the midwife opened her mouth, Queen Mother Lin Wan said anxiously, "I'm fine. Hurry up, hurry up, send the water in."

"Yes, Queen Mother." The midwife let out a long sigh and walked into the curtain quietly.

There were three midwives serving at the bedside inside the curtains, and on the bed, Queen Zhang Zisheng, who was about to give birth, was pale and groaning constantly.

These painful groans made Lin Wan outside the curtain very anxious. She clenched her hands tightly and walked back and forth in a state of confusion.

“Ah! It hurts...”

Another high-pitched cry came from inside the curtain. Lin Wan hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in. When she saw her daughter-in-law's painful face, she was distressed. She stepped forward, held Zhang Zisheng's hand and comforted her:

"Girl, bear with it for a while."

"Come on, come on."

Zhang Zisheng was in so much pain that she couldn't say a word. She could only look at Lin Wan with tears in her eyes. The midwife beside her said carefully:

"Queen, you should go out first."

Lin Wan knew that it was crowded enough with four midwives, and adding one more person would only cause more trouble, so she had to let go of her hands and said to Zhang Zisheng with red eyes:

"Girl, try harder, everything will be fine once the baby is born."

After saying this, she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at her daughter-in-law's painful face again. She hurriedly walked out of the curtain, and then quickly walked out of the room.

Outside the palace door, several imperial doctors were waiting, sweating profusely.

As soon as Lin Wan came out, she immediately went to the Imperial Hospital Envoy and said anxiously: "This girl has a severe headache, Imperial Doctor, this...this..."

Lin Wan was flustered and stammered, and the court envoy hurriedly comforted her:

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Your Majesty has been giving birth for almost six hours. It's not time yet. This is normal at the moment."

"In an hour at the earliest, a dragon heir will be born. Just wait patiently."

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "How can I be quiet here?"

"They're giving birth there too, I don't know how it's going yet, oh, I..."

Seeing Lin Wan's anxious look, the Imperial Hospital Doctor hesitated, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine has been in labor for seven hours, but..."

Halfway through his speech, the envoy wiped the sweat from his face, but did not dare to continue.

Lin Wan immediately grabbed his arm and asked with red eyes: "It's already this time, why are you still hiding it? Tell me the truth!"

"Is it...is it..." Having said this, Lin Wan covered her mouth but did not dare to continue.

The sweaty attendant's face turned even paler, and he whispered, "Doctor Fang just sent someone to say that the Imperial Concubine...is not feeling well."

When he said the last sentence, the hospital attendant lowered his head, not daring to even raise it, and the other three imperial doctors beside him also lowered their heads.

"Why don't you hurry up..." Lin Wan shouted anxiously, but she immediately stopped talking after she had said half a sentence: "Why don't you hurry up and follow me!"

She lowered her voice, grabbed the steward's arm and was about to leave, but stopped after taking a step.

The court official was very perceptive and said immediately, "The imperial physician Fang is here at the Yonghe Palace. Your Majesty, it will be the same if I go there, but you see..."

"Just wait here and take good care of the Queen." Lin Wan let go of her hand, gave some instructions, glanced at the bedroom, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, then hurriedly left Kunning Palace.

-

"Doctor Fang, what should we do? Please think of a solution. The Empress..."

Outside the bedroom door of Yonghe Palace, Qing'er grabbed Doctor Fang's arm with tears in her eyes.

Doctor Fang's face was as pale as paper and covered with sweat. Apart from him, the other two doctors beside him were shaking like sieves.

"Cao Renren, I... I have no other choice. You have also heard from the midwife that the queen's belly is too big, which... this itself..."

"...it will not be so easy to give birth." Doctor Fang said the second half of the sentence as softly as a mosquito's hum, but it seemed as if he had used all his strength.

The words fell.

"it hurts...."

“It hurts…Ahhhhh!”

Sharp and high-pitched cries came one after another. An imperial physician was so panicked that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Qing'er was so frightened that her teeth were chattering. She quickly turned around and ran towards the bedroom.
