Seeing that the palace maids had not yet sent for the imperial physician, Xiao Zhongzi became anxious and planned to go there himself.

So he instructed his apprentice Xiao Muzi to take care of Yufangzhai.

Yufangzhai is a long way away, so it is normal to arrive late, but at this moment Xiao Zhongzi couldn't hold back his excitement. After all, the young lady was in urgent need at the moment, and he was really restless.

After seeing that Xiao Zhongzi, the manager, had left, the people placed by the Queen started to have evil thoughts in their minds. They prepared to find a chance to slip away and report the matter to Fenghua Palace.

So the little palace maid calmly prepared to walk out of Yufangzhai, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed Xiao Muzi.

"Stop! What are you doing!" Xiao Muzi shouted.

The young maid stammered, "I, I...I am going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply for the things that will be used when the young lady gives birth."

Xiao Muzi took a look at the little palace maid and knew from her guilty look that she had ulterior motives.

He said coldly, "The things that the young lady will need for childbirth have been prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs long ago. They are in Yufangzhai! Why do you need to apply for them now?"

The little maid was speechless after hearing what Xiao Muzi said, so she could only say, "I came later, so I don't know these..."

Without the maid telling her, Xiao Muzi had already guessed it and scolded her sharply, "Stay in Yufangzhai and don't keep thinking about going out. Those who need to go out have already been sent out!"

After that, he said to the others, "Everyone listen carefully, the same goes for everyone else! Stay in Yufangzhai obediently and don't go out at will!"

"If there is anything necessary, you must come to me and report it. You can only leave the palace after getting my consent. Otherwise, if you run away secretly, if I find out, I will have to report it to the young lady, and you will be in trouble!"

The others said in unison, “Yes.”

The people who were sent by the Queen looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

On the way, Xiao Zhongzi met Doctor Chen and others who were rushing over.

Xiao Zhongzi thankfully grabbed Doctor Chen's arm and said, "That's great, Doctor Chen, you're finally here. The young lady is suffering in Yufangzhai right now!"

Doctor Chen and Xiao Zhongzi were walking and talking, "How come it's so fast? I just came back from Yufangzhai not long ago, and the young lady started the war right away! If I had known, I would not have left, and I would have saved myself the journey back and forth."

Xiao Zhongzi said, "Alas, who can predict this? Let's hurry up, time waits for no one!"

Doctor Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Then Xiao Zhongzi asked the others, "Have you invited the midwife?"

Others replied, "Someone has gone to invite them. They should be on their way now."

Xiao Zhongzi: "Okay, okay, that's good."

Having said that, he hurried on his way, not daring to delay for a moment.

As we were walking, we happened to meet the midwives who were rushing over at the intersection.

Xiao Zhongzi stepped forward and urged, "Great, you guys are here too, hurry up, the young lady is waiting! There is no time to lose!"

The old ladies couldn't walk that fast, and couldn't help complaining, "Sir, please stop rushing me! My old bones are about to fall apart!"

Xiao Zhongzi was extremely anxious. "Please hurry up as much as possible. This is a major event that the young master is going to give birth to. If it were something else that was not important, I wouldn't have rushed you so much."

The midwife said, "Oh, don't worry. This is the first child. She won't be able to give birth for a while. Women have to go through the process of bone splintering when giving birth. It's not that easy to give birth. You can catch up!"

Xiao Zhongzi said, "As a father-in-law, I don't understand these things. I'm sorry to bother all the grandmothers. It would be good if you could come earlier to see our young master's condition."

Xiao Zhongzi and Doctor Chen walked fast, and the midwife followed behind them, breathing heavily, saying, "Okay, okay, we are heading there now!"

imperial study room

Yingcan ran all the way here and arrived not too late, but the emperor was in a meeting inside and Yingcan couldn't get in, so he walked back and forth anxiously outside.

Xiao Fuzi was even dizzy.

Xiao Fuzi said, "Miss Yingcan, please take a break. I'm dizzy from all the spinning!"

Yingcan said anxiously, "How can I rest at such a critical moment? I really want to rush into the Yangxin Palace!"

When Xiao Fuzi heard this, he was so scared that he quickly tried to stop her, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, don't do anything stupid! You've lived enough, but I haven't lived enough..."

Yingcan glanced at Xiao Fuzi and said, "I know, I was just talking like that. If I really broke in, wouldn't it bring trouble to the young master?"

Xiao Fuzi felt relieved when she heard that Yingcan was just speaking in anger.

"Okay, okay, as long as you understand the truth, if you rush in foolishly, with so many officials watching, your entire clan will suffer!"

Yingcan said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, I understand. But when will the emperor come out?"

Xiao Fuzi said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. Before you came, these ministers had already been in there for a while! I think they should be coming out soon!"

Yingcan looked at the tightly closed door of the imperial study. Several times he wanted to rush in with such a strong desire, but when he thought about the consequences of doing so, he finally gave up the idea.

I do not know how long it has been.

The door of the imperial study finally opened! The old ministers came out one after another.

Yingcan clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, watched these people leave, and then ran inside quickly.

Xiao Fuzi was busy seeing off the ministers and didn't pay attention to Yingcan. He let Yingcan slip in accidentally. When he looked back, there was no one...

Xiao Fuzi was so scared that he quickly chased in.

"My living ancestor, who let you in!!!"

As soon as Yingcan ran in, he realized he was guilty and fell to his knees on the ground.

Xiao Rui looked at her in disbelief.

Yingcan said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! My little lady is feeling uncomfortable in her stomach and I'm afraid she's about to give birth! Your Majesty, please go and have a look!"

"I know that I have committed a grave sin and shouldn't have barged into the imperial study without permission. After the young lady has given birth to the baby safely, if the emperor wants to punish me, I will obey your will! I have absolutely no complaints!"

After saying that, he kowtowed again.

When Xiao Fuzi came in, she saw Yingcan kneeling on the ground and cursed in a low voice, "You reckless palace maid! Let me see how the emperor will punish you!"

Then he changed his face again, fearing that the emperor would blame him, and was ready to put all the blame on Yingcan, and said with a flattering face:

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty! This maid is too bold. She actually sneaked in when I wasn't paying attention and trespassed into the emperor's study! Such a wicked servant must be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for severe punishment~"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui was not angry at all. Instead, he said to Yingcan with appreciation, "Well, you did a great job this time!"

Then he said to Xiao Fuzi, "Quick, go to Yufangzhai!"
