A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Prince Anling entered the palace under the pretext of delivering food and fodder to the frontline soldiers, thinking that the emperor would have no reason to punish him.

Things turned out just as he expected. Instead of punishing him, the emperor rewarded him generously. He worked day and night to rush back to the palace to be rewarded for his contribution.

Xiao Rui said, "Prince Anling, you really didn't disappoint me. I sent you to the northern border, but you were put to great use! I will ask someone to contact the local government officials as soon as possible and send some food and grass to help them out."

"I have another important task for you. I will send a large and well-trained army for you to command. You will take the army to deliver the grain and grass from the national treasury to the north to help Gu Zishan."

King Anling was overjoyed after hearing this. He was worried about having no soldiers under his command. The people brought from Gu Zishan might not be willing to work for him sincerely, but those sent by the emperor himself were different.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty! We will certainly live up to your trust!"

When the news that Prince Anling was commended and rewarded generously spread, everyone was shocked.

General House

Even General Zhao Yunshan was delighted when he heard it and couldn't help praising Prince Anling again and again.

"This Prince Anling really lived up to my trust. Not only did he escape successfully, he also won the emperor's appreciation!"

The counselor in Zhao Yunshan's mansion said, "Now that Prince Anling has returned and the northern border is in turmoil, Gu Zishan is too busy to take care of himself. Now is a good time for the general to take action!"

Zhao Yunshan stroked his beard after hearing this and said, "We can take action as soon as Lin'er's prince is born."

The counselor couldn't help but speculate, "General, there is no exact time for this woman to give birth. If we just wait blindly without making careful arrangements in advance, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"And the emperor has ordered Prince Anling to leave for the northern border soon. If Prince Anling does not move, the emperor will probably become suspicious!"

Zhao Yunshan could not help but frown. The counselor's analysis made sense. Just sitting there and waiting for death was not a solution. For the time being, he had no choice but to write a letter to Prince Anling asking him to delay for a few more days and then arrange for the imperial physician in the palace to induce labor for Concubine Shen.

After hearing this, the counselor nodded and said, "General, your arrangement is good, but if the prince is delayed in being born after the induction of labor, we need to think of other ways as soon as possible."

Zhao Yunshan sighed, "I understand what you mean. Let's let the imperial physician try to induce labor first. If that doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

Palace

After seeing her father's letter, Concubine Shen immediately asked Zhenzhu to burn it.

"Zhenzhu, send someone to call the imperial physician, the sooner the better!"

After hearing this, Pearl nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

After coming in again, Pearl asked, "Madam, is there something wrong that makes you so anxious?"

Shenpin touched her belly and said, "I am afraid that if I don't give birth to this child, something bad will happen!"

"Now that Prince Anling has returned to the capital, the war in the north is tense. If the little prince were to be born now, it would be a great opportunity to stir up trouble."

"If we wait until Prince Anling is sent away by the Emperor and the war in the north subsides, it is uncertain whether we can win this game."

After hearing this, Pearl instantly understood the reason.

"I understand, don't worry, your majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon!"

"According to the current month of pregnancy, it is not too early. The little prince has been full-term for a long time. Even if the birth is induced, I think it will not harm the little prince!"

Concubine Shen pursed her lips and said, "Yes, as long as the baby can be born, it will be fine. This child has been in my belly for a long time~"

Pearl had been doubting for a long time, so she mustered up the courage to ask, "Madam, if, I mean if! If you give birth to a little princess, what should we do... The master has staked everything on it."

Concubine Shen said firmly, "No, it must be the little prince!"

When Zhenzhu saw Concubine Shen's confident demeanor, her expression became somewhat complicated.

Shenpin smiled, then whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking about? Don't worry, your queen will definitely give birth to a prince. Even if he is not a prince, he will become a prince."

Zhenzhu looked at Concubine Shen in disbelief!

No wonder the master was so sure that he would take action after the empress gave birth. It turned out that he had already made all the preparations! If it wasn't the prince, he would just have to use a cat-for-potatoes trick to replace the prince.

After the two of them finished talking, the imperial physician also rushed over.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress Shenpin. May the Empress be blessed with good health and good health!"

Concubine Shen waved her hand and said, "Stand up. I called you here today because I want you to use some medicine to help me give birth."

The imperial physician asked, "Your Majesty's dragon fetus is fine. It will naturally fall to the ground when it matures. Why do you need to take the risk of inducing labor?"

"In my humble opinion, it is safer to let the heir be born naturally."

Concubine Shen said frankly, "Hasn't the prince in my belly been full-term for a long time? It has even passed the due date for several days, so it should be mature!"

"Carrying a big belly all day long, not only does it cause backache, but I also have to worry about what's happening inside. It would be better to give birth to the baby and hold it in my arms, so that I can feel at ease."

The imperial physician thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is right, but... I am afraid that if I have to report to the emperor about such a big matter as inducing the birth of the heir, I will never dare to do so if the emperor does not agree."

Shenpin said impatiently, "Even if the baby went into labor, no one would think it was strange. It has been so long. Why did you go to ask the emperor for help?"

The imperial physician lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Inducing labor is not completely risk-free, and the imperial physician dares not act without the emperor's approval.

Concubine Shen looked at the useless imperial physician and said depressedly, "Forget it, I'll send someone to ask the emperor! You don't have to worry anymore!"

Imperial Physician: “Yes…”

"What? Inducing labor?" Xiao Rui said in disbelief.
