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

Outside the palace, concubines from various palaces arrived one after another.

As soon as everyone arrived, they heard someone complaining quietly, "Why do you have to give birth in the middle of the night? It really disturbs my sleep and I have to endure the cold here."

Xi Muyao said solemnly: "If someone with ulterior motives heard what you said, and reported you to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, you would be charged with disrespecting the Empress."

Shen Aoning said, "Sister Xi is right. Sister Rongfei is pregnant and has come here to wait with us. What else do you have to complain about?"

When Murong Yue heard this, she felt aggrieved. She was now nearly six months pregnant and it was not even February yet. Although spring was approaching, it was still very cold at night.

But she didn't dare to complain. Instead, she said, "The Queen is giving birth. As concubines, we should be here to wait and pray for the Queen."

Xi Muyao smiled and said, "Sister Rongfei is right. The Queen is the emperor's wife, and we are just his concubines. We should pray for the Queen."

No one dared to complain and just waited quietly outside the door.

But among all the concubines present, there was not one who did not hope that the queen would give birth to a princess, and definitely not a prince. If the queen gave birth to a legitimate son, then what would they fight for? They would not be able to win no matter what.

After a while, Concubine Su spoke up: "I hope the Queen can give birth to a prince smoothly."

"Yeah yeah!"

Everyone said one thing and thought another. Murong Yue stroked her bulging belly, hoping that she was carrying a prince, and even more hoping that the queen would give birth to a princess.

Inside the palace, Nanny Yu leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and whispered, "Queen Mother, all the concubines in the palace have arrived and are waiting outside the palace."

The Queen Mother remembered that Murong Yue was pregnant and asked, "Is Concubine Rong here too?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Concubine Rong is also outside the palace." Nanny Yu reported.

"It's cold at night, tell them all to come in and wait!" The Empress Dowager was afraid that something might happen to Concubine Rong. After all, she was pregnant, and it was cold outside, so it was not good for her to stand outside for a long time.

"Yes!"

Nanny Yu walked out of the main hall and came to the crowd, "This servant greets all the ladies. The Queen Mother has ordered that it is cold tonight, so please go in and wait."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was merciful and allowed them to go in and wait. Otherwise, if the Queen would not give birth, wouldn't they have to stand here forever? It was the middle of the night and they really couldn't stand it!

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Die Yun carefully supported Murong Yue, "My Lady, please go slower."

Murong Yue's hands were very cold, and her face was slightly red from the wind. She was shivering from being outside just now.

After everyone walked in, they greeted Xiao Xuanchen and the Queen Mother together, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

"Everyone is free of charge!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother walked up to Murong Yue and asked with concern, "Are you not cold?"

Murong Yue shook her head and smiled, feeling a little better. "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration. I am fine."

"Help Concubine Rong to sit down!" the Queen Mother ordered Dieyun.

"Yes!"

Die Yun supported Murong Yue, walked towards Xiao Xuanchen, and sat down next to Xiao Xuanchen.

But Xiao Xuanchen kept his head down, his hands clasped together, with a worried look on his face, and he didn't even look at Murong Yue.

Murong Yue felt even more aggrieved. She was not a pretentious person and she understood that the Queen was giving birth at the moment and it was natural for His Majesty to be worried. But she was pregnant after all. She had been standing outside for a long time and was shivering with cold, but he didn't even say a word of concern.

Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning saw everything. His Majesty was so worried, but even Murong Yue didn't even glance at him. This shows who is the most important person in His Majesty's heart.

But Xiao Xuanchen quickly returned to normal, calmed down, and looked calm and composed.

The noise inside lasted for two hours. Xiao Xuanchen asked calmly, "Why hasn't the queen given birth yet? What do you imperial doctors do for a living?"

Most of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau were called to the Weiyang Palace. After all, it was the Queen's birthing day. If anything happened to the Queen and the heir in her womb, most of them would lose their lives here.

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground, all of them said in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Although Xiao Xuanchen tried to restrain himself again and again, two hours had passed and the day was about to dawn, and he finally could not control himself anymore.

The Queen Mother consoled her, "It's no use getting angry with the doctors. Since ancient times, childbirth has been a daunting experience for women. The Queen is blessed by the gods, so she'll be fine."

"What your Majesty the Queen is teaching you is that I was too anxious." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Just wait a little longer, it should be here soon." said the Queen Mother.

Murong Yue had been sitting for two hours and was becoming a little restless, not to mention the concubines standing beside her. Her legs had already begun to ache, but she couldn't show any dissatisfaction at this moment.

I just hope that the Queen will give birth to the baby as soon as possible.

Princess Xuanhua sat beside the Queen Mother, feeling drowsy all the time. She really couldn't bear it anymore.

After a while, a baby crying sound was heard in the bedroom, "Waaaaa~"

When Xiao Xuanchen heard the loud cry, he subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, this... is it a birth?"

The Queen Mother said excitedly: "It's born."

The midwife came out quickly to announce the good news, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a prince. Your Majesty has safely given birth to a prince."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was overjoyed, "It's the prince, that's great, that's great."

Princess Xuanhua echoed, "Congratulations, mother, and congratulations, brother."

The moment Xiao Xuanchen heard that it was the prince, his expression became solemn, but he changed his expression the next second and instantly smiled.

This scene happened to be captured by Murong Yue. She saw it and began to doubt in her heart. Could it be that His Majesty did not want the Queen to give birth to a prince?

Afterwards, everyone in the palace except Xiao Xuanchen and the Queen Mother knelt down to congratulate, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your son, and congratulations to the Queen Mother on the birth of her grandson."

"Everyone will be rewarded. Everyone in Weiyang Palace will be rewarded." The Empress Dowager smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen."

After a while, the midwife washed the child and brought him out. The Queen Mother and Princess Xuanhua hurried over. The Queen Mother took the child from the midwife's arms and said, "Oh, my grandson, look how good he is. His forehead is full and round. You can tell at a glance that he is a blessed child."

Xiao Xuanchen walked over with a smile on his face and took a look. The child was wrinkled and his eyes were not open yet.

"Emperor, quickly hug your son. He is your first son and the eldest legitimate son. He is very noble." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
