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

After Rong An heard the news, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He pushed open the door and knelt on the ground without hesitation, his voice trembling a little, "Your Majesty, there is news from Weiyang Palace that the Queen is about to give birth!" His tone was full of anxiety and worry, as if at this moment, his entire mind had been occupied by this news.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengji sat up from the bed. His eyes instantly became sharp and firm, and his voice was deep and powerful, "Have the imperial physician and the midwife rushed over?"

"They've already gone to Weiyang Palace." Rong An hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and answered while helping him put on his shoes. His movements were quick and skillful, and then he stood up to get his clothes.

But Xiao Chengji hurriedly picked up his outer robe and walked out. Rong An saw this and hurriedly chased after him, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please take care of yourself!"

The night wind howled, causing the lanterns in the palace to sway. However, Xiao Chengji seemed to be completely unaware of it. He was a little panicked and rushed to Weiyang Palace as fast as he could.

Lu Lingyuan had been moved to the delivery room and was now walking around the room. Every step she took seemed to be walking on the edge of a knife. Her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat continued to seep out of her forehead, slowly sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold ground, making a subtle and crisp sound.

The wind outside the hall seemed to become rapid and chaotic at this moment, carrying a bit of ominous omen.

Xiao Chengji completely disregarded the etiquette and rules and rushed directly into the delivery room, turning a deaf ear to Rong An's desperate persuasion. His eyes, which were usually as calm as ice, were now full of anxiety and eagerness. He pushed open the door and strode into the delivery room, "Yuan'er..." His voice was low and affectionate, with a trace of trembling that was difficult to conceal. He strode forward and grasped Lu Lingyuan's hands, which were slightly trembling due to nervousness, and looked at her with distressed eyes, as if he wanted to take all her pain into his chest and share it with her.

Lu Lingyuan raised her head and looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in. Her brows were furrowed, her lips had lost their color due to pain, and her face was filled with unspeakable pain and struggle. "Your Majesty, how did you get in? The delivery room..." Her voice was weak and trembling, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

Xiao Chengji had no time to care about anything else. He just gently wiped the sweat off her forehead. "It's already this time, and you're still talking about this..." His tone was full of anxiety and helplessness, and his eyes never left Lu Lingyuan's face.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyuan felt a warm current in her heart, but she became more worried. She grabbed Xiao Chengji's sleeves with both hands. Although her strength was weak, she was extremely firm. "Your Majesty, the delivery room is dirty, you really can't come in, or... go out quickly!" There was a hint of pleading and reluctance in her voice.

However, at this moment, the amniotic fluid suddenly broke, and Lu Lingyuan felt a powerful force surging from her lower abdomen, falling straight down. It was an indescribable pain, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Ah..."

Upon seeing this, the midwife hurried forward and instructed the palace maids: "Hurry, the queen's water has broken, help her onto the bed first!" Her voice was steady and powerful, and she gave the instructions in an orderly manner.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengji gently picked up Lu Lingyuan, taking every step carefully, for fear of hurting her. After gently placing her on the bed, he still held her hands tightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll always be with you..." His voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes were red, which was a kind of fear and helplessness that he had never experienced before.

"Ah..." Lu Lingyuan bit her lower lip tightly, her brows furrowed, helplessness and pain flashing in her eyes. She clenched her hands into fists and kept beating the brocade quilt under her. The embroidery on the quilt was pulled into a mess by her.

"Where is the imperial physician?" Xiao Chengji's voice was filled with anxiety and panic that was hard to conceal. His face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and his usually deep eyes were now full of panic and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is waiting outside." Yun'er's voice trembled a little. She quickly knelt on the ground, folded her hands in front of her forehead, and responded humbly and respectfully.

"Let him in quickly!" Xiao Chengji's voice was filled with unquestionable urging. His hands were clenched into fists and he paced back and forth in the room. He looked so anxious that he seemed like a helpless child.

"Yes." Yun'er responded and ran out to bring in Doctor Zhao.

Doctor Zhao knelt on the floor as soon as he entered the room. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his hands were shaking slightly. At this time, the curtain had been quietly lowered.

Xiao Chengji took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he gently placed a soft handkerchief on Lu Lingyuan's wrist and gently held Lu Lingyuan's hand.

Doctor Zhao then began to take the patient's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth. The Empress' pregnancy has always been stable, but her pelvis is small, so I'm afraid the birth will be a little difficult." Doctor Zhao's voice was filled with a hint of worry and helplessness. He knew very well that giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, not to mention that Lu Lingyuan's condition was not optimistic.

"Ah..." Lu Lingyuan screamed in pain again. Her voice was filled with endless pain and despair, as if she wanted to vent all the pain.

Doctor Zhao saw this and said quickly, "Don't shout, Madam. Save your energy!"

"What Imperial Doctor Zhao said is right. Your Majesty, don't push hard now. Wait until I tell you to do so later," the midwife said in a deep voice.

"Ah..." Lu Lingyuan clenched her teeth in pain, but still couldn't suppress the pain that surged from the bottom of her heart. She had to close her lips tightly and frowned. Sweat slid down her forehead and dripped onto the pillow, disappearing in an instant, leaving only circles of faint traces.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" At this time, a notification suddenly came from outside the palace, breaking the original dullness and tension in the delivery room. Then, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and several concubines who heard the news had different expressions, but they all hurried over.

Zheng Xiyan was outside the delivery room and didn't see Xiao Chengji. She immediately guessed that Xiao Chengji must have been worried about Lu Lingyuan and had already entered the delivery room.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, who can follow those cold rules completely when it comes to love? But the rules in the palace have always been like this. If there is any deviation, it may lead to countless criticisms and accusations. She also didn't want Lu Lingyuan to bear any unnecessary pressure because of this.

"You guys wait outside first." Zheng Xiyan's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chongyuan and others could only bow and obey, not daring to refute in the slightest.

Shuang Ning supported Zheng Xiyan and slowly walked into the delivery room. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on her. They knelt down and saluted, with a hint of awe and fear in their voices: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

"No need to be polite, just do your thing." Zheng Xiyan waved her hand gently, but her eyes fell directly on Lu Lingyuan beside the bed. She walked forward quickly and lifted the curtain, only to see Lu Lingyuan's face pale, eyes closed, and a look of pain that was beyond words.
