After Pei Yi brought Xie Zhichan back to Dajin, he had been taking good care of her, waiting for Dudu to come out and meet them.

Because Qin Baiwei had lived in Tingxueju for some time, Pei Yi felt it was unlucky, so he took Xie Zhichan to live in another courtyard for a while, renovated Tingxueju inside and out, and then moved back.

Ever since Pei Yi asked Ye Guici to detoxify Pei Jingyu, Qin Baiwei disappeared from Prince Yan's Mansion and did not return to the Qin family. No one knew where she had hidden.

Pei Yuan did as he said and sent Lin to the ancestral temple. After Emperor Jing Zhao died, at Pei Yuan's plea, Pei Jingrou was sent to the cold palace and spared her life.

After returning to Tingxueju from the villa, several months passed. It was already the autumn of the Jingming year, the season when melons were ripe and ready to fall.

That day, Pei Yi helped Xie Zhichan take a walk in the garden. Xie Zhichan looked at the heavy jujube tree in the yard and swallowed.

Pei Yi knew that she was greedy, so he said, "Just wait here and don't move." He then flew up the tree, grabbed a handful of dates, and took out his handkerchief to wipe them carefully.

Suddenly Xie Zhichan's hand grabbed him tightly.

Pei Yi was startled, knowing that something must have happened, and asked hurriedly, "Ayuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Zhichan looked down at her feet, and Pei Yi followed her gaze and saw that Xie Zhichan's pair of turquoise embroidered shoes were soaked in a pool of clear water, with water still dripping from under Xie Zhichan's skirt.

Pei Yi was so frightened that he rushed to the bedroom with the person in his arms, shouting, "Dan Feng Yue Yan, please ask Master Ye to come over."

In between contractions, Xie Zhichan grabbed Pei Yi's hand and shouted, "Stupid, I'm about to give birth! Call the midwife."

Pei Yi paused, then reacted immediately. He placed Xie Zhichan on the bed in the bedroom, and shouted to Mai Sui, "The Crown Prince's Consort is about to give birth. Go and call the three midwives who have been prepared."

Pei Yi had found these three midwives two months in advance. They had clean backgrounds and no history of bad deeds. After they were invited, they had been kept in a side courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, waiting for this day.

The three midwives were brought over soon. Although there was no need for a doctor for the time being, Ye Guici also came over to be on the safe side.

Everyone in Tingxueju became busy for a while.

Pei Yuan and others rushed over after hearing the news. Even Pei Miao was very much looking forward to it. Everyone was waiting in the courtyard of Tingxue Ju.

The Queen of Nanzhao did as she said. After stabilizing the Nanzhao national politics, she selected three suitable regents, who arrived in Kyoto ten days ago and had been living in the guest house of Prince Yan's Mansion. They have now rushed here.

Tingxueju was so crowded that there was no place to step.

Everyone waited in the yard from morning to afternoon, and even for lunch, they had the servants bring cakes and pastries to the yard, and they just ate a few pieces to fill their stomachs.

All they could hear was Xie Zhichan's voice in the room becoming increasingly weaker.

Pei Yi was outside the door, pacing back and forth nervously.

After Xie Zhichan's another loud shout, Pei Yi couldn't stand waiting outside any longer, so he opened the door of the delivery room and insisted on staying by Xie Zhichan's side regardless of the midwife's objections.

With Pei Yi's lead, the Queen of Nanzhao also followed in, insisting on staying with Xie Zhichan, and then bolted the door of the delivery room.

Pei Yi asked the three midwives, "Why hasn't the Crown Prince's Consort given birth yet?"

One of the midwives replied, "It's always like this when giving birth. The baby can only come out after the cervix is ​​dilated. Some women give birth quickly when the cervix is ​​dilated, and some women give birth slowly when the cervix is ​​dilated. But don't worry, my lord. Many women give birth normally within one day."

Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan, who was sweating profusely on the bed, with his hair soaked with sweat. He was so uncomfortable that his whole body was tense. A Yuan had been crying like this for a day, and he was in pain for a day. How could he not be worried?

At this time, one of the midwives brought a bowl of ginseng soup and said to Pei Yi, "The Crown Prince's Concubine needs to replenish her strength. Please let me feed her some ginseng soup."

Pei Yi's full attention was on Xie Zhichan. After hearing this, he quickly gave up his seat, but he did not notice that the midwife's hand was shaking slightly as she served the soup.

Just as the midwife scooped out a spoonful of ginseng soup and fed the medicine into Xie Zhichan's mouth, the Queen of Nanzhao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the midwife's hand, pulled her out and threw her to the ground.

The sound of a porcelain cup breaking suddenly came from the delivery room.

The midwife was suddenly frightened by the Queen of Nanzhao and immediately knelt down, not daring to move.

Pei Yi glanced at the midwife with a gloomy face and asked the Queen of Nanzhao, "Is there something wrong with the ginseng soup?"

The Queen of Nanzhao was dissatisfied with Pei Yi's carelessness and did not answer him. She just walked to the broken porcelain pieces, picked up one of them, sniffed it under her nose, then reached out to dip a little and put it on the tip of her tongue to taste it.

Then he threw the broken porcelain pieces back to the ground.

The moment the Queen of Nanzhao stood up again, Pei Yi clearly felt a kind of pressure from her that he had never felt before.

Then he asked her, "Mother-in-law, what's the problem with the ginseng soup?"

The Queen of Nanzhao stared at the midwife with eyes spitting fire, and said to Pei Yi: "There is a strong drug in it that will cause bleeding in women who are giving birth."

Pei Yi was shocked when he heard this, and a look of fear appeared on his face. He immediately glanced at the other two midwives in the room.

The two midwives were so frightened by Pei Yi's look that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I don't know why she wants to harm the Crown Prince's Consort. This matter has nothing to do with me." "This matter has nothing to do with me. Please investigate clearly, Crown Prince."

The people outside the door also heard the sound of the porcelain cup falling to the ground. Pei Yuan was the first to knock on the door and ask if anything had happened in the house. However, no one responded.

Suddenly the door opened, and Pei Yi was seen holding a woman in his hand and throwing her out of the room, and told Dan Feng: "Don't be polite to this person, make her confess the mastermind behind this."

Soon, the Queen of Nanzhao threw out the other two midwives and told Yueyan, "Go and cook a bowl of ginseng soup yourself. Watch over it and bring it over when it's done."

After Yue Yan agreed, the door of the delivery room was closed again.

Pei Yuan saw that all the midwives were thrown out, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Why were all the midwives thrown out? Can we do without midwives?"

Then the Queen of Nanzhao in the room yelled, "Shut up! I'm personally delivering my daughter, why are you howling?"

Pei Yuan choked, truly stunned by the roar. He really sat on the stone bench in the yard again, just waiting quietly.

Inside the room, Pei Yi looked at the Queen of Nanzhao and asked, "Mother-in-law, can you really deliver a baby?"

The Queen of Nanzhao glared at Pei Yi and said, "Why not? Do you think I have been living on snakes all these years in Lingnan?"

Pei Yi's heart finally calmed down.

The Queen of Nanzhao was already telling Xie Zhichan how to adjust his breathing.

After waiting for about another half a quarter of an hour, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard from the room.

Everyone in Tingxueju was delighted.

The Queen of Nanzhao cleaned the newly born Dudu, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, carried him to Xie Zhichan's bedside, and took a look at him.

At this time, Yue Yan had already cooked the ginseng soup and brought it over. Pei Yi then personally fed it to Xie Zhichan.

The Queen of Nanzhao then carried Dudu out of the delivery room, allowing the people who were waiting for her birth to feast their eyes on her.
