After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Xuanchen did not have to attend the morning court. The two of them first went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother together. After that, Zheng Xiyan came back and accepted the visits of the ladies from both the inner and outer courts.

I met a lot of people this morning and sat for a long time. After they left, Zheng Xiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so tired after meeting them all.

After lunch, I had a good sleep.

When she woke up, Princess Chengyang brought her a bowl of fish soup and handed it to her, saying, "You must be hungry after sleeping for so long!"

"Mother knows me best. She's craving for something." Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly. After a nap, she really felt hungry.

Now, she can really sleep and eat, just like a little pig.

"You must be tired after meeting so many people today. You're already eight months old, and you don't have to follow the rules to meet so many people." Princess Chengyang also felt sorry for her daughter. Although the rules were indeed like this, sometimes they could be flexible and there was no need to take them so seriously.

"Mother, I know you feel sorry for me, but these are what I should do as the queen. It's no big deal." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Okay! Whatever you say is what it is." Princess Chengyang looked doting.

Princess Chengyang stared at her belly. She couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer any more, so she touched her belly and said softly, "You! Come out quickly and let your mother suffer less."

"Mother, you're not saying that. It's only been eight months." Zheng Xiyan smiled helplessly.

Zheng Xiyan's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Mother is hoping that you can give birth to this child safely."

"Yes." Zheng Xiyan smiled at her.

more than a month later

That night, Zheng Xiyan had an attack. She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a hot stream gushing out of her lower body. Her stomach was still aching. She quickly shouted to the outside of the door, "Biluo, Biluo!"

Biluo was a light sleeper, so she rushed in immediately and came to her, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"

"My stomach hurts. I'm probably about to give birth. Go call the midwife and the imperial physician." Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

"Yes!" Biluo didn't dare to delay and hurriedly called people to light all the candles in the room.

When Princess Chengyang heard the voice, she hurried over from the side hall, wearing only a cloak, and hurried over, "Yan'er, Yan'er..."

"Mom! It hurts so much." Zheng Xiyan held her stomach with a painful expression on her face.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here." Princess Chengyang held her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.

It was Zheng Xiyan’s first time giving birth. She had only heard about it before, but she had never expected it to be so painful. “Mom! It hurts so much. It hurts so much.”

Zheng Xiyan's head was covered with sweat. She held her mother with one hand and clenched the other hand tightly, feeling very painful.

Soon three midwives came in and started delivering Zheng Xiyan's baby.

Biluo ordered someone to invite His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and Xiao Xuanchen stayed in Jinhua Palace tonight.

Jinhua Palace

The eunuch from Weiyang Palace came to the outside of Jinhua Palace and said, "The Empress is about to give birth. Hurry and tell His Majesty."

The palace servants of Jinhua Palace did not dare to delay and went outside the palace. The eunuch in front of the emperor was dozing outside the palace. They woke him up and said, "Eunuch, wake up, wake up."

After shaking the person awake, the eunuch in front of the emperor was about to get angry, "Eunuch Li, the queen is about to give birth."

"Ah?" The eunuch in front of the emperor immediately woke up and quickly got up from the ground.

The eunuch in front of the emperor did not dare to delay and could only shout outside the palace, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Queen is about to give birth."

Xiao Xuanchen has always been a light sleeper, and he woke up when he heard the noise outside.

After sitting up, I heard the eunuch in front of the emperor continue to shout: "Your Majesty! The Queen is about to give birth."

After Xiao Xuanchen heard it clearly, he didn't care about Murong Yue, he just threw off the quilt and got out of bed, shouting anxiously: "Come in quickly and change my clothes."

"Yes!"

Murong Yue was also woken up. She was sitting on the bed at this time. Seeing His Majesty so anxious, she stared at her bulging belly. She unconsciously thought that when she gave birth, His Majesty would be so nervous and anxious like the Queen?

Murong Yue was stunned for a moment, then ordered Die Yun to change her clothes. After all, when the Queen was giving birth, all the concubines in the palace had to wait outside the palace. Even if she was pregnant, they had to go and wait.

After Xiao Xuanchen dressed neatly, he left Jinhua Palace without even saying hello, got on the sedan chair and headed for Weiyang Palace, "Hurry up."

"Yes!"

Murong Yue looked at Xiao Xuanchen's back as he left, her eyes full of desolation. Die Yun saw this and comforted her, "Your Majesty, after all, it's the Queen giving birth, so it's understandable that His Majesty can't take care of you for a while."

"You're right, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable." Murong Yue said sadly. She knew that she shouldn't be like this, it was too pretentious, but she had no choice.

"Your Majesty, let's hurry up. It will be bad if we go too late." Die Yun said.

"Let's go!" Murong Yue whispered.

Weiyang Palace

When Xiao Xuanchen arrived, the Queen Mother and Princess Xuanhua had already arrived outside the Weiyang Palace.

When Xiao Xuanchen got off the sedan chair, he saw his mother and Xuanhua, "Mother."

"Greetings, my brother." Princess Xuanhua bowed quickly.

"Go in quickly! The Queen is about to give birth." The Queen Mother urged.

"Yes!"

Inside the bedroom, midwives were delivering Zheng Xiyan's baby. Zheng Xiyan was in so much pain that she could hardly exert any strength.

Biluo and Shuangning were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. Zirui and Ziluo couldn't reveal their identities, so they could only worry.

Biluo kept urging Doctor Jiang, saying, "Doctor Jiang, please think of a solution quickly! The Queen is in so much pain."

Doctor Jiang looked helpless, "Since ancient times, giving birth has always been a process that pregnant women have to go through on their own. I, your humble servant, can do nothing to help you!"

Zheng Xiyan pulled the quilt tightly in pain, her expression twisted, and she clenched her teeth tightly, "Ah-----"

"Mother!" Zheng Xiyan was sweating profusely, with tears and sweat mixed on her face.

"Yan'er, mother is here, mother is here, don't be afraid, listen to the midwife, we will do it step by step, relax, you have to rely on yourself to get through this stage." Princess Chengyang was sweating anxiously, her brows were furrowed and she never relaxed.

Xiao Xuanchen and the Queen Mother Princess Xuanhua entered the main hall, and Xiao Xuanchen asked anxiously, "How is the Queen?"

Doctor Jiang replied, "This is the Empress' first birth, so naturally it's a little difficult. Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager should relax. The Empress is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to her."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen's hands began to tremble inexplicably. It was the first time he felt so nervous and he was very scared at the moment.

But after a moment, he pretended to be calm, sat on the chair, and waited quietly. No matter what, he had to stay calm.
