In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Soon the day of Rouze's delivery arrived. When Yinzhen arrived, the women in the backyard had already heard the news and were waiting outside the delivery room for Rouze to give birth.

Since receiving the news in the morning, Rouze has been in the delivery room for six hours, and the baby has not been born yet. Seeing that Rouze has begun to have a difficult labor, the four midwives in the delivery room looked at each other, and no one dared to take the initiative to go out and report.

Rouze's voice began to become weak, the amniotic fluid also tended to decrease, and the cervix had dilated to 8 fingers, but the baby's head was stuck in the birth canal and couldn't come out.

In the end, the midwife sent by Concubine De was a little more courageous. She walked out of the delivery room and walked towards Yinzhen, "This servant greets the Fourth Prince."

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. Madam, you've come out. Does that mean Wanwan has given birth?"

It was not until he heard Rouze's screams that Yinzhen finally felt that the person inside was giving birth to his child. When he thought that he had tacitly agreed to kill the mother and keep the child, he instantly felt guilty towards Rouze.

"My lord, the Fourth Lady is too old to give birth. If we delay any longer, it will be bad. I have come here specially to ask you for your opinion. Should we save the adult or the child?"

The women around also heard the news. Qi Yuebin covered her upturned mouth with a handkerchief, but her face was filled with anxiety. "How could this be?"

When Concubine Miao heard this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. Ganggege, who was standing beside her, quickly pulled her. Concubine Miao realized that her expression was wrong and quickly glanced at Yinzhen.

Seeing that Yinzhen didn't notice, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although her expression changed, Concubine Miao's joy at that moment was still seen by others.

But at this moment, everyone was secretly delighted and had no time to expose Concubine Miao.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, Yinzhen had already made up his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud for the time being.

Qi Yuebin carefully observed Yinzhen through the crowd, and she keenly noticed that Yinzhen's reaction was not right. According to Qi Yuebin, Yinzhen loved Rouze deeply, and under normal circumstances, Yinzhen should have chosen to protect Rouze directly after hearing what the midwife said. Why did he need to consider for so long?

It can only be said that the plot was affected or Yinzhen acted too well, even the meticulous Qi Yuebin did not notice anything wrong. But think about it, since Yinzhen and Rouze got married, except for the time when Rouze was pregnant, the place Yinzhen went to most in the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion was Rouze's main courtyard.

They didn't know that Yinzhen only went there but rarely stayed overnight, so they naturally thought that Yinzhen really loved Rouze. Who would have thought that at the beginning it was indeed because he was satisfied with Rouze, and later it was to give birth to the bloodline of Ulanara and Aisin Gioro, and later it was to understand Yixiu.

Unfortunately, Rouze's people knew very little about Yixiu, and Rouze was quite reluctant to talk about Yixiu with Yinzhen. This was also the reason why Yinzhen no longer went to the main courtyard, but instead stayed alone in the study to admire Yixiu's portrait.

Before Yinzhen made a decision, the midwife started to get anxious, "Fourth Prince, please make a decision quickly, it will be too late!"

Seeing this, Su Peisheng stepped forward to persuade him: "Yes, Master! This fetus can't stand being held back. If it is held back for too long, the body will become weak."

Qi Yuebin didn't expect that Su Peisheng's words meant to persuade Yinzhen to save the child. She thought she would hear Yinzhen's scolding, and looked over in surprise, only to find that Yinzhen seemed to be persuaded and uttered the three words "save the child" with difficulty.

Save the child?!

Is it choosing children?

Sure enough, the Fourth Prince's attitude towards Rouze was not right. There must be something wrong here! Qi Yuebin had something hidden in her mind. She planned to investigate it carefully later. She always felt that the answer to this question was very important. If she figured it out, maybe she could have a child.

After receiving the definite answer, the midwife quickly returned to the delivery room. After a while, a mournful cry of pain was suddenly heard from the delivery room.

"Fujin, Fujin, please wake up, Fujin!" Along with Fangruo and the wet nurses' crying, the voices of "It's born, it's born!" were also heard.

Yinzhen waited for a while, but he neither heard the baby crying nor saw anyone coming out holding the child.

He shouted anxiously towards the delivery room: "What's going on in there? Where's Wanwan? Where's the baby?"

The midwife came out with a swaddling cloth in her arms, her face full of sorrow, "My dear Fourth Prince, Fourth Lady, Fourth Lady has passed away."

"What about the child?"

"Little prince, the baby has been trapped in the womb for too long, and is gone." After saying that, the midwife handed the swaddling clothes in her arms to Yinzhen. Yinzhen walked forward in disbelief and opened the swaddling clothes. The baby inside was covered in bruises. He tentatively placed his hand on the baby's face, but there was no breath.

"How could this happen?" Yinzhen really didn't expect this result. He just wanted Rouze to die in childbirth, and he didn't want the baby in her belly to die with her.

At this point, Yinzhen didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand to signal Su Peisheng to take the little prince over. "Su Peisheng, arrange for someone to report to Ulanala's mansion, and then arrange for someone to prepare funeral rites. This prince will go to the palace in person to tell the emperor, my mother, and my father."

When 007 in Ulanala Mansion heard the news, he couldn't believe it. He repeatedly asked Yixiu to confirm: "Host, Rouze is dead? She died of dystocia? You didn't do anything to her, how could she die?"

Yixiu thought to herself, what do you mean I didn't do anything to her? I was the inducement, and everything else happened naturally according to Yinzhen's character.

However, Yixiu initially thought that Yinzhen would die and keep the son, but she did not expect that both mother and son would die.

However, although Yixiu had already guessed the result, she did not expect Yinzhen to actually do this. She had to say that her analysis of Yinzhen's character was really accurate.

In the plot, there are cases where Yinzhen killed his children with his own hands in order to consolidate his power. In the true sense, the first child he killed was Honghui, and the second was the one in Nian Shilan's belly.

The reason for saying this is that Yinzhen never mentioned Honghui from beginning to end, and even after he ascended the throne, he did not posthumously confer a title on Honghui. According to Yinzhen's personality, he would unconsciously want to avoid seeing anyone he felt guilty about. His guilt towards Honghui and Yixiu made him not want to go to the main courtyard to meet Yixiu except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Later, his guilt towards Qi Yuebin made him unwilling to visit Yanqing Palace. Even after the Nian family fell from power, his guilt towards Nian Shilan made him unwilling to see her again.

In Yonghe Palace, after hearing the news about Yinzhen, Concubine De was so surprised that she couldn't recover for a long time.

"How could this happen? Didn't the palace physician say that everything was fine?" Defei didn't understand. She had also sent people to the Fourth Prince's palace to help Rouze with her delivery. Moreover, the midwives and maids in the delivery room were all her own people. After ruling out the possibility of murder, she didn't expect Rouze to lose her own life.

Defei sighed deeply, and seeing Yinzhen kneeling on the ground with a sad face, she called out and comforted him: "Yinzhen, Rouze is gone, you should take care of yourself and don't be too sad. I think it's because she and you were not destined to be together."

After Yinzhen left, Defei couldn't help but talk to Zhuxi about Rouze.

Rouze's death was not a good thing for Concubine De. Thinking that her plan to win over the Ulanara clan had failed, Concubine De could not help but vent her anger on Rouze, "It's my fault that Yinzhen became a widower. If I had known that Rouze would die so young, I should not have chosen her as the fourth wife."

"How could your Majesty know that the Fourth Lady would die in childbirth? How could this be your Majesty's fault?"

De Fei knew that Zhu Xi was trying to comfort her, so she patted its hands and said nothing more. After a while, De Fei asked, "Ulanara has another daughter. I heard her name is Yixiu, right?"
