After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The imperial physicians and maids calculated the date and prepared the delivery room and everything needed for delivery early.

Mrs. Cen and Zhang had both experienced childbirth and were already experienced in this matter. They helped and looked after what was needed.

Xiao Chengji also specially prepared two thousand-year-old wild ginsengs, the kind that had already transformed into human form. They were both rare species that only appear once in a hundred years, for fear that something might go wrong during delivery.

Yan Yu didn't think too much about it. She felt that her condition had been pretty good recently and she would definitely be able to give birth to the baby safely. It all depended on when the child wanted to come out and see the world.

When there was still half a month left before the time estimated by the imperial physician, Yan Yu sat next to Xiao Chengji at night.

Xiao Chengji didn't eat in the evening. He was still reading the urgent military affairs. It was only a short page of paper, but he kept looking at it and his face did not look very good.

As soon as Yan Yu saw his expression, he guessed that something was wrong.

She had someone bring a bowl of ginseng and black chicken soup, and blew on it a little: "Your Highness, please have a taste."

Xiao Chengji said: "I don't want to drink."

Yan Yu moved closer and said, "It was finally delivered to you. Just try a spoonful. After you taste it, I'll have someone take it away."

Xiao Chengji took a bite and found it tasted pretty good.

Yan Yu scooped up a little more water, blew it cool, and brought it to his lips: "What happened? Is there some urgent errand from the court that needs you to go out and do it?"

Xiao Chengji took the soup cup from her hand, drank a few sips and put it aside: "Cang Country doesn't want to fight anymore, they want to negotiate peace."

"Negotiation? What are the conditions?" Yan Yu asked, "Since they proposed it, at least they have to give us all the land east of Mount Min and send one of their princes as a hostage."

"No." Xiao Chengji sneered, "They want the land north of the Haijiang River in Wei State, and they also want to give them 500,000 pieces of silk and 3 million taels of silver."

Yan Yu was filled with hatred and anger: "Are they crazy? Do they think that all the civil and military officials in the Wei Dynasty are cowards?"

Xiao Chengji gave her a deep look and said, "Many ministers in the court want to agree to this condition and stop the war and seek peace."

Wei State has vast territory and abundant resources. The land north of Haijiang River cannot produce much. Even if it is divided up with Cang State, it will not cause too much loss.

What's more, the Wei Dynasty had been very prosperous in overseas trade in recent years, so it was no problem for it to come up with three million taels of silver and 500,000 pieces of silk.

Therefore, when some ministers saw that Cang State was asking for peace, they felt that it would be most appropriate if these prices could be paid in exchange for future peace.

Yan Yu said: "The Emperor of Cang is in his prime. He is ambitious and scheming, a vicious dog that can never be fed. If we really agree to his terms, he will spend all his money on military supplies, and within five years, he will lead his cavalry to attack again. Haijiang is easy to defend but difficult to attack. They have the advantage of the terrain, and then they will plot against the entire Wei Dynasty."

Xiao Chengji hugged Yan Yu in his arms: "Some of these cowardly fools don't understand as well as you do."

Yan Yu felt a little sad: "Your Highness, what does the emperor think?"

"We will fight, we will fight." Xiao Chengji said, "I will not let you bear the hatred forever, and I will not give them the land that your father took back."

Yan Yu buried her face in his arms and cried silently.

In the second half of the night, Yan Yu felt a burst of pain in her stomach, and her clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat. She was still in a dream and was not awakened by the pain yet, and her body curled up unconsciously.

Xiao Chengji realized something was wrong and woke up instantly.

He gently patted Yan Yu's face: "Yan'er, wake up."

Xiao Chengji asked the maid to come in, and asked Xingwen to call the imperial physician.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the yard was brightly lit.

The insects in the grass and flowers outside were chirping all the time. The early autumn night was still so lively. People were walking back and forth, but they didn't dare to make any sound.

Mrs. Cen and Zhang also quickly put on their clothes and hurried over.

Seeing that Xiao Chengji was unwilling to leave, Zhang no longer spoke politely and asked Xiao Chengji to leave the delivery room with a different excuse: "Your Highness does not understand childbirth, and you are here to deal with it. The midwife and the nanny dare not deliver the baby as usual, so you should wait outside."

Xingwen carefully held a fan and drove away mosquitoes on the corridor.

After all, it's the countryside, there are more insects, ants, mosquitoes and snakes than in the city. Even though I made some insect repellent spices, as soon as they saw the light over here, the mosquitoes would rush over like crazy.

He knew that Xiao Chengji had no intention of waiting in the house, and didn't even know the existence of the mosquito.

Xingwen also hoped that the princess was safe and sound, not because the princess treated them all very well, but because he was afraid that if something happened to the princess, the prince would suddenly change his temperament and go crazy, killing all the people who followed him, and no one present would survive.

Others, Xingwen, didn't know that his master had been cold-blooded and violent since he was a child, and was not a good person. He only changed for the better after he met the princess. How could he really do such a thing?

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

Just as a hint of paleness appeared in the east, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.

Xiao Chengji's eyes changed.

Then a maid came out to announce the good news: "Mother and child are safe! Your Highness, mother and child are safe! The princess gave birth to a prince!"

Xingwen's eyebrows instantly lit up with joy: "Great joy, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Mrs. Cen was so happy that tears came to her eyes: "It's great that your mother didn't suffer so much."

The prince was a small boy, born naturally, and he didn’t cause the princess any severe pain.

Although the bleeding was not particularly heavy, Yan Yu lost her strength after giving birth and soon fell asleep.

Zhang had someone clean up the delivery room quickly and neatly, and then invited Xiao Chengji to come over.

Xiao Chengji walked to the bedside. The sweat on Yan Yu's face was wiped off and he was changed into dry clothes, but his temples were still wet with sweat and his eyebrows were slightly closed.

Compared with her rosy complexion some time ago, she is now much paler and almost bloodless.

The maid outside brought over a bowl of red ginseng pigeon soup. Xiao Chengji picked up Yan Yu a little and fed her some warm soup.

Yan Yu slowly opened his eyes, and instantly felt a heart-wrenching pain again, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Xiao Chengji fed her another mouthful of soup: "Drink more to replenish your energy."

Yan Yu's lips moved, but he was too weak to make a sound.

Madam Cen was holding the child in her arms and had always wanted to show it to Xiao Chengji. Now that she saw the princess woke up, she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the princess wants to see the child."

The child was really too small, only a little bit big and red like a little mouse. Xiao Chengji thought it was a bit ugly and didn't know how to hold it. He felt that it would be safer for a woman to hold such a small thing.

Madam Cen placed the young prince next to Yan Yu and said: "What a beautiful child, he has thick black hair when he was born, and looks a lot like the princess and the prince."
