He was just the least favored prince.

His mother was a lowly slave, and the emperor disliked him even more.

In the past, there were three princes who were the focus of everyone's attention, and in the future, there were countless princes born to the emperor's favorite concubines.

All he had was the little love given by Concubine Hua.

And what he least wants to lose is this love.

Of course, he also prayed that Concubine Li would be safe and give birth to a healthy younger brother.

He held his breath and listened attentively to the voice inside.

Inside, Nian Shilan did not agree to Concubine Li.

Doctor Xie, who arrived in a hurry, interrupted their conversation.

Nian Shilan stared at the woman on the bed with a painful expression on her face, and said sternly, "Make sure that Lady Li's pregnancy is safe. Lady Li is safe. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"Yes." The palace maids knelt down immediately, and Xie Yun also knelt down.

When going out, Nian Shilan specifically instructed Xie Yun.

"No matter what, we must keep it!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.

All that was heard was the painful screams of Concubine Li from inside.

After going out, Nian Shilan looked a little ugly.

Stop the palace maids in Li Guiren's palace.

"stop!"

The maid knelt down immediately, fearing that she had offended the queen. Her voice trembled as she answered, "Your Majesty."

"Why did Lady Li suddenly have a miscarriage?"

The maid shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I don't know. You were fine this morning, but when she woke up in the afternoon, she suddenly complained of a stomachache. Before I could ask the imperial physician to come, she started bleeding and the pain started immediately. So I quickly asked Your Highness and Imperial Physician Xie to come over."

Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow, "Is there anything unusual today?"

The maid thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head, "Today, there really is no."

Nian Shilan turned her face away and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, Songzhi understood what she meant and waved her hand to tell the maid to leave quickly.

Although Concubine Li's attack happened suddenly, fortunately everything needed for delivery had been prepared long ago, so there was not much hassle.

Seeing that the queen was worried, Songzhi comforted her, "Don't worry, queen. Everything is ready except for the east wind. Now that Dr. Xie is here, Concubine Li will definitely keep the mother and child safe."

But Nian Shilan shook her head, with some worry in her eyes.

No, she always felt something was wrong.

Something must have happened, but she didn't know.

She sighed, "I hope so." She said this in a relaxed tone, but the expression on her face did not relax at all.

After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Has the emperor been informed of this matter?"

Songzhi nodded, "To answer your Majesty's question, when Concubine Li got angry, the eunuchs in the palace went to invite the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and they are expected to arrive soon."

Listening, Nian Shilan's eyes were fixed on the door.

That's where the palace maids come in and out.

I saw palace maids carrying basins of water, walking in and out hurriedly.

The expression on his face was also pale and ugly.

Nian Shilan immediately realized that something was wrong.

He took a quick step forward and looked at the basin, which was filled with blood.

“This…how could this happen?”

Heavy bleeding is already a bad sign.

The maid quickly stepped back and said, "Your Majesty, please don't let this unclean thing offend you."

Nian Shilan said coldly, "What's going on inside?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is bleeding heavily, but the baby hasn't come out yet!"

Fortunately, Songzhi supported Nian Shilan.

Things suddenly turned out like this, even Nian Shilan was a little confused.

Everything was clearly going as planned, so how could there be a sudden heavy bleeding? How could something suddenly go wrong?

If so, Concubine Li really did not give birth to the child and died of dystocia.

Wouldn't that mean all her previous plans would have failed?

Nian Shilan tightened her grip and held the handkerchief tightly.

This is one of the steps to bring down the queen. If it doesn't work...

Outside, Su Peisheng's voice sounded.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

Nian Shilan woke up instantly, quickly calmed down her panic, put on a calm face, and went out to welcome the emperor.

Nian Shilan was of slender figure and her expression was calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that her shaky gait revealed her panic.

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw Nian Shilan like this.

He quickly stepped forward and helped support him.

Feeling the Fourth Prince's strong hand on her, Nian Shilan turned her head and glanced at him.

The Fourth Prince looked into her bright eyes and nodded slowly.

Nian Shilan pursed her lips and felt a little calmer.

Yinzhen came towards them.

The two bowed and said, "Your servants pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress."

"Your son pays respect to the Emperor Father and Empress Mother."

Yinzhen waved his hand, "Hurry up, hurry up, how is Concubine Li?"

Yinzhen had few children, so he attached great importance to the issue of the royal heir.

I came here almost as soon as I got the news.

Nian Shilan bit her lip, her voice trembling a little as she spoke, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has suffered a lot, Your Majesty, please go in and take a look."

Yinzhen frowned, his face solemn, and immediately strode into the bedroom.

Many more doctors came from the Imperial Medical Bureau to help.

After the emperor arrived, Xie Yun came out to answer.

"How is Lady Li?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is weak now and has bled profusely. I'm afraid she's not doing well."

The Queen took a deep breath and said, "How could this happen? Hasn't Concubine Li been taking good care of her pregnancy with Concubine Hua?"

The queen is indeed very scheming.

This sentence began to throw the problem onto her.

Nian Shilan glanced at the queen without leaving a trace.

In just a second, tears began to flow.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Lady Li has not been in good health for a long time, but I have been taking care of her carefully. It's just that I fell ill recently and couldn't take care of Lady Li for a while. It's really my fault. I was negligent."

As soon as the queen said this, Nian Shilan immediately showed weakness.

The illness was used to shut the Queen up.

The emperor naturally couldn't bear to blame him.

He pulled up the leaning Nian Shilan and said, "What crime have you committed? You have tried your best."

The Fourth Prince raised his head and looked at him quietly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"You must protect Concubine Li and my royal heir! There must be no mistakes!" Yinzhen ordered Xie Yun.

But the next second after he said this, the imperial physician inside came out to report.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something's wrong. Concubine Li is completely dead. I'm afraid she's..."
