Upon hearing this, not only Nian Shilan and Yinzhen were stunned.

Even Xie Yun was stunned.

In a trance, Xie Yun quickly glanced at Nian Shilan.

Meeting Xie Yun's confused eyes, Nian Shilan seemed to realize something.

not good!

The imperial doctors inside were all brought by the Queen from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Could it be that they took advantage of this opportunity to attack Concubine Li?

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor, please come in quickly and make sure to save Lady Li!"

Nian Shilan spoke first.

Yinzhen frowned, looking very unhappy.

Yixiu repeatedly comforted her, "With the Emperor's blessing, Concubine Li will be fine! If... that's Concubine Li's fate."

As he said this, he looked regretful and sad.

Yinzhen lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Several people just waited like this, waiting for news from inside.

Nian Shilan clenched her handkerchief tightly and remained alert at all times.

Inside the bedroom, there were the imperial physician's instructions, the midwife's voice, and the palace maid's cries...

Came one after another.

And finally, Nian Shilan seemed to hear a faint cry from the noisy sound.

That is……

Nian Shilan stood up almost immediately, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Yinzhen raised his face slightly, and there seemed to be a faint light in his eyes.

An elderly woman came out, holding a yellow swaddling cloth in her arms.

Because she stood up in a hurry, Nian Shilan was unsteady, and the quick-eyed and quick-handed Fourth Prince quickly supported her.

"Be careful, mom!"

When the maid came closer, she knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor, Congratulations to the Empress, Concubine Li has given birth to the Sixth Prince!"

Nian Shilan took a deep breath, her heart filled with joy, and her hand that was supporting the Fourth Prince gradually tightened.

The Fourth Prince looked at her profile, feeling the strength coming from his elbow and the joy in her eyes.

Seeing her happy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Looking at the child in front of him, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

As he spoke, everyone knelt down to congratulate the emperor.

The queen was no exception, but besides her congratulations, there was a hint of doubt.

How could Concubine Li give birth to a prince?

She had already been...

how so.

"Okay, okay, Sixth Prince, let me see."

The nanny held the child forward, and Yinzhen looked at the child, his heart and eyes filled with fatherly love.

"Sixth Prince cried so hard. With such a lot of noise, he will surely be a lively child in the future."

Yixiu stepped forward and spoke in a flattering manner.

As the older brother, the Fourth Prince naturally had to say something nice at this time.

"My son congratulates the Emperor and Empress. I wonder what name the Emperor is going to give my sixth brother?"

The Fourth Prince asked the point, and Yinzhen smiled heartily.

"I had already thought about it before I came here. A gentleman knows both subtlety and prominence, and knows how to be gentle and strong. He is the hope of all men. The word 'prominence' is not bad, so let's call him Hong Zhang!"

"It is indeed a good name. The Emperor has thought very carefully about my sixth brother. I am sure that I will also do what the Emperor wishes and what everyone hopes for in the future!"

Everyone's eyes were on the Sixth Prince.

Only Nian Shilan was thinking about Concubine Li inside.

"How is Concubine Li now?" Nian Shilan asked the nanny.

The nanny choked up, lowered her eyes, and replied carefully, "Replying to the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Lady Li just died. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince was lucky enough to be born. The Imperial Doctors and the servants tried their best to give birth to the child. Now, Imperial Doctor Xie is already doing his best to treat the Imperial Lady."

Nian Shilan took a breath. Although she had never given birth, she could imagine the situation inside and how tragic it would be.

Yinzhen twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, "Whether Lady Li can survive this disaster or not, I will promote her to Concubine Li, with a title of Jia."

"Your Majesty is so kind. I would like to thank you on behalf of Concubine Li."

But the next second after he said this, Zhishu's crying voice was heard from inside.

Xie Yun hunched over and ran out quickly.

She lowered her head, not daring to raise it, and only said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li is dead!"

"How could this happen!" Nian Shilan spoke almost subconsciously.

She was eager to know the cause of Concubine Li's death.

Who on earth had such a hand in this?

The newborn prince lost his mother, and Concubine Li died!

Yinzhen sighed, "She has been wronged."

Yixiu also shook her head. "Jiapin worked hard to give birth to the prince for the emperor. Her beauty must be preserved after her death. Your Majesty has made plans."

"The Queen, please handle this matter properly. However, the Sixth Prince has just been born and is separated from his mother, so it is really difficult to handle."

What Yinzhen said meant that he wanted to choose an adoptive mother for the Sixth Prince.

"As the head of the harem, and having nursed the eldest prince before, I have considerable experience. Your Majesty, please allow me to raise Hongzhang."

The queen bowed with a smile and spoke immediately.

Nian Shilan didn't say anything for a long time, just waited quietly.

Yinzhen glanced at Nian Shilan, then at the queen.

"The Queen is thoughtful, but you already have the Third Prince, and you have always been in poor health. If you raise him, I'm afraid you will be exhausted."

Hearing this, the smile on Yixiu's face froze for a moment.

But it soon returned to normal.

"Your Majesty cares about me, and I am grateful."

After he finished speaking, Nian Shilan slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan are already on their way, as are the other concubines. If Your Majesty is interested in choosing a good foster mother for Hong Zhang, why not wait until they arrive and ask again."

Yinzhen nodded, "You are right. Then let's listen to what they have to say."

After saying that, he looked straight at the child in his arms.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and serve Sixth Prince well. Don't let anything go wrong."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, the maids carefully carried the Sixth Prince downstairs.

Yixiu smiled and joked, "Hongzhang's face looks like the emperor's, and his eyes are also bright and sharp. He will definitely be an elegant little prince in the future."

"Hahaha." Yinzhen was naturally very happy to be a father.

The passing of Concubine Li did not cause any emotional fluctuations to these people.

It was Nian Shilan who spoke up again, "It is not appropriate to stay here for long. Your Majesty should go to my palace and sit for a while."

Yinzhen nodded, "You are very thoughtful."
