In early June, the queen's condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor ignored her.

"Mother..." The eldest prince Ji Yunjie knelt in front of her.

"Mother is tired and needs to rest. Jie'er, you must remember what mother told you in the future." The queen looked pale and reached out to touch the eldest prince's face.

Cheng Mingran is now almost five months pregnant, and the eldest prince goes to pay his respects every once in a while. How could these people in the harem not see the queen's intention?

Cheng Mingran was also aware of this, but she did not refuse the eldest prince's greeting, and regarded it as a way of repaying the Queen's kindness of giving her the medicine.

There was one thing that puzzled her. That was Concubine Liang hadn't made any moves. Logically, she must have been prepared. But she had been very stable during the past few months of her pregnancy. She didn't know why she always felt uneasy.

At the end of September of the same year, the Queen passed away and the whole country was in mourning. On the eve of her departure, the Queen proposed to Ji Lingzhou to raise the eldest prince under Cheng Mingran's lap, and Cheng Mingran did not refuse.

Not only that, Ji Lingzhou also took this opportunity to make Cheng Mingran the queen. The reason was that the late queen had entrusted it to him, and the eldest prince was a legitimate son, so it should not change in the future.

After the imperial edict was issued, Cheng Mingran felt confused. How did she become the queen without knowing it? Ji Lingzhou thought that she was pregnant, so he did not perform the ceremony of canonization. He just said that he would make plans after the child was born. At that time, Cheng Mingran was already more than eight months pregnant.

As the birth was approaching, Cheng Mingran had handed over the palace affairs to the Queen Mother. However, the ominous premonition in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. She didn't believe that things would go so smoothly. Something must have happened.

The day of Cheng Mingran's delivery was a huge event. Ji Lingzhou directly called all the imperial doctors and even found a gynecological expert from the folk, for fear that any accidents would happen.

The Queen Mother and Ji Lingzhou were both waiting outside the door, and General Cheng was also pacing back and forth outside the door. Cheng Mingran inside had just had an attack and was now trying to conserve his strength.

The nanny next to him was also selected by Ji Lingzhou himself, so there would definitely not be the slightest mistake.

The news of Cheng Mingran's childbirth soon spread throughout the harem, and the concubines rushed over one after another. However, they were all sent away by Ji Lingzhou, and had to return home in disappointment.

"Your Majesty." The maid beside Concubine Liang helped her leave.

"Is everything arranged?" asked Concubine Liang.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged according to your wishes. No one will notice." The maid replied.

Now Cheng Mingran has won the emperor's favor and has been canonized as the queen. If she gives birth to another boy or girl, her status will be gone...

She didn't choose to have surgery during pregnancy because the risk was too great, but childbirth is different. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell...

If the baby can't be born, it can only be attributed to an accident. Who can tell? Cheng Mingran, you should never have blocked my way. You brought all this upon yourself.

Concubine Liang's expression suddenly turned sinister. She had reached her current position after waiting until this day with great difficulty, and there was absolutely no way she would let anyone take it away from her.

"Is the prince ready?" Concubine Liang asked again worriedly.

"The prince has already made preparations. This time it will be absolutely foolproof." The palace maid gave Concubine Liang a reassurance.

That's fine. Concubine Liang felt much more relaxed. With him around, there shouldn't be any big problems.
