Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 171 Yanwan Gives Birth to a Daughter

Hongli ignored Meiruo's pleas. If Meiruo had not been pregnant, Hongli would have sent her to the Shenxingsi as well.

The farce ended there, and Hongli left Jinbao to clean up the mess. Yongqi had just lost his adoptive mother, and Wanyin's last concern was Yongqi, so he personally escorted Yongqi back to Zhongcui Palace.

Over at Yongshou Palace, the palace servants were coming in and out, very busy.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Ju Rui immediately found the best midwife in the palace - Madam Hu.

"Empress Ling Fei, please push harder~"

Yanwan's heart-wrenching screams were heard from inside the house.

Jinzhong could only stand in the yard and pace back and forth anxiously. He tapped his palms and glanced at the door from time to time. If possible, he really wanted to suffer in place of Yanwan.

A long time passed.

Apart from the palace maids carrying basins of blood, the only sound was Yanwan's screams of pain.

Seeing that the baby hadn't landed yet, Jinzhong clasped his hands together, bowed to the sky, and said, "I pray to all the gods to bless Empress Ling Fei to be safe."

With such a big incident, the news of Yan Wan's premature birth had spread throughout the harem. When Lan Qi heard that Yan Wan had given birth prematurely, she rushed to Yongshou Palace without stopping.

I originally wanted to use Jirimutu and Huricha to remove the obstacles around Yanwan, but I didn't expect that it would cause Yanwan to give birth prematurely. It was a real mistake.

Jinzhong got angry at Lanqi for the first time when he met her.

Jinzhong blocked Lan Qi's path. He slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at her coldly. His gaze was as cold as ice, causing Ji Tao beside him to shudder. "Eunuch Jinzhong, what are you doing?"

Jinzhong raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "What do you mean, Empress Cheng, don't you understand?"

Lan Qi knew she was in the wrong and explained, "Jinzhong, I've been sisters with Concubine Ling for so many years. You've seen how I treat her, haven't you? I know I haven't thought this through, but if I hadn't used Concubine Ying to eliminate Madam Wei and Zuo Lu, Concubine Ling's future would have been even more difficult. Although Concubine Ling gave birth prematurely, Concubine Ying and the others didn't benefit either, did they?"

I didn't expect Jinzhong to be such a lovesick guy.

"Jinzhong, do you think I would harm Concubine Ling?"

Jinzhong still stood calmly with his hands hanging down, his expression composed, and there was no ripple in his pair of dark and cold pupils.

This was the moment when Yan Wan was at her weakest, and he couldn't take the risk.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, the sound of a baby crying was heard from inside the house.

"Thank God for your protection." Jinzhong bowed to the heavens, unable to control his excitement. His breathing quickened, his face a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He left Lanqi in the yard and ran straight into the house.

In this life, Yan Wan gave birth to the fifth princess prematurely.

Lan Qi's heartbeat quickened, beating in her chest like a drum, full of anticipation and excitement.

Ji Tao: "My lady, shall we go in and take a look?"

Lan Qi bit her lower lip nervously to prevent her excitement from spilling out into words.

Yanwan had just given birth to a child and was very weak.

Madam Hu held the fifth princess in her arms and showed her to Jinzhong. The child's arms were soft and tender, and her legs were plump, like pieces of snow-white lotus root. Jinzhong's heart melted instantly. Others who saw her thought it was Jinzhong's child.

Seeing Lan Qi enter the room, Madam Hu hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty, Concubine Cheng."

Lan Qi: "Get up, how is Concubine Ling?"

Madam Hu: "Don't worry, your Majesty. Concubine Ling just lost some energy when giving birth to the princess, which caused her to fall into a coma. She will wake up soon."

Lan Qi felt relieved when she learned that Yanwan was fine.

She asked Ju Rui to take the child to the side hall to feed him. As soon as Madam Hu left, Yan Wan woke up.

Yan Wan's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and crystal tears were sparkling in her eyes, like stars in the night sky, which made people feel sad.

Yan Wan: "Where's my mother?"

Seeing this, Lan Qi hurried to Yan Wan's bedside, supported her, and comforted her: "Yan Wan, you just gave birth to a child, don't get too excited, it's not good for your health."

Jinzhong also followed.

There were so many people around and so many eyes watching, so in order to prevent the palace maids in the room from going out and talking nonsense, Jinzhong found a random excuse to drive them out.

Lan Qi lowered her head and hugged her tightly, "It's over, Yanwan. Even if your mother and brother are gone, you still have us in the future..."

Jinzhong bent down and advised, "Yes, Lord, the most important thing right now is your health. Madam Wei and the young master have passed away. You must first heal your body before you can kill your enemies."

Yanwan stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face. Yes, she still had a deep hatred to avenge, and she couldn't let her body break down. But Meiruo had the Balin tribe and the forty-nine Mongolian tribes behind her. How could she avenge her loved ones?

"Where's my child?"

Only then did Yan Wan remember that she had given birth to a child.

Jinzhong: "Jurui and Jitao have taken the baby away to be fed. Do you want to see her?"

Yan Wan grabbed Jin Zhong's sleeve tightly and asked nervously, "What is it? Did I give birth to a prince or a princess?"

Lan Qi patted her shoulder and said, "Fifth Princess, you have given birth to a princess for the Emperor."

Yan Wan's heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand. She couldn't breathe, and her whole body was shaking like a dead leaf in autumn. Her mind was blank. How great it would be if she was a prince. Then Hongli would look at them more and perhaps punish Mei Ruo severely for the sake of the prince. But she only gave birth to a princess.

"Yes, Princess. How can I avenge my mother and Zorlu..." Yanwan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into talking to herself.

Jinzhong didn't say anything, but just looked at Yanwan deeply, his eyes full of sadness.

Jinzhong: "My Lord, the princess is also very good. I just saw her. She looks like you and is also a beauty. I am sure the emperor will like her very much when he sees her."

"As for Concubine Ying and the others, you don't have to worry too much. They will soon reap what they sow. This morning, the Balin tribe rushed over with a secret letter, which I took a peek at. It said that the second prince of Balin had rebelled and murdered his father and brother..."

Yan Wan raised her head in shock and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Lan Qi also found it incredible.

In her previous life, when Yanwan gave birth to Jingxuan, Meiruo was frightened and gave birth to a stillborn baby. Princess Balin and Jirimutu did not enter the palace.

Why did the second prince of Bahrain suddenly launch a coup?

Jinzhong nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. I've heard that the Second Prince is the bastard son of King Bahrain and a maidservant. Rumor has it that King Bahrain deeply loved the Princess and never set eyes on any other woman. To keep this a secret, she killed the maidservant herself and then announced the birth of twins. However, I've heard that she beat and scolded the Second Prince, who already harbored a grudge against her for murdering his mother. It's perfectly natural for her to take advantage of the Princess and the eldest prince's visit to the palace and kill King Bahrain to launch a coup."
