Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

In the Empress Dowager's palace, midwives and imperial physicians had already been prepared, just waiting for this day to come.

Chang Ru lay on the bed, drinking ginseng soup mouthful by mouthful.

"Madam Chang, please don't move now. Save your energy. I will teach you how to use force later." The midwife instructed Chang Ru.

"Yes." Chang Ru nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere in the room was not that tense. Chang Ru looked at Nanny Li who was guarding her.

Nanny Li also glanced at Chang Ru, and the two exchanged glances.

Ever since Chang Ru joined the Empress Dowager's camp, she has tried every possible means to bribe Nanny Li.

Hard work pays off, and she finally achieved her wish.

Nanny Li promised her that if she gave birth to a princess, she would save the princess's life, help her send the princess out of the palace, and hand her over to someone she would arrange to raise her well.

The person arranged by Chang Ru to pick up the princess was none other than General Ji's man.

This was also part of her plan.

She would do everything she could to protect her children.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

"You are so bold that you even dare to stop me! My concubine is about to give birth, and I am here to guard her, which shows how much I value her. Get out of the way! Whoever dares to stop me will be charged with deceiving the emperor!" Xiao Wenxuan's voice came from outside.

The people in the room suddenly became nervous.

"Move aside and let him in." The voice of the Empress Dowager rang out.

Xiao Wenxuan walked in.

Behind him, there was a team of guards.

The team of guards, led by Luo Jixun, quickly lined up in a row.

"Grand Empress Dowager, how is Chang Ru doing? I heard that she started to have abdominal pains. I think she is about to give birth. I came here specially to check on her."

"Your Majesty is concerned. There are indeed signs of labor. However, it is impossible for the baby to be born so quickly. Perhaps it will take several hours, or even more than ten hours. Your Majesty does not need to be so anxious. It will not be too late to come back later."

"This is my first child. How can I not be anxious? Even if it means delaying the government for a day, I will stay here and watch my first child being born with my own eyes."

"Your Majesty, please come in and take a seat." The Empress Dowager invited him in.

Xiao Wenxuan strode in and sat in the main seat.

……

At this time, in the imperial capital.

The once bustling streets became deserted.

The people closed their doors and windows.

Just because in the afternoon, more than 10,000 troops suddenly entered the imperial capital.

The leader was Luo Jixun.

Even a fool could smell something unusual.

In the palace, the two generals were treated completely differently.

General Nan was under strict guard by a team of people.

General Ji, however, followed those people and entered and left the palace freely.

Ji Chuhe discussed with the princess and decided to send the concubines and children in the mansion to the Duke's Mansion. Later, Concubine Xu and the princess also stayed in the Duke Rong's Mansion.

Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an were waiting for news at home.

"Madam, we never knew where the Empress Dowager hid the child. She must have made preparations in advance so that she could switch the baby immediately when Chang Ru gave birth to a girl. However, our people watched closely and did not find that the Empress Dowager brought the child into the palace."

"The Empress Dowager had already planned this plan before Chang Ru became pregnant. She had to prepare in advance. Since we haven't found any clues, it means the child was not brought from outside the palace. Perhaps, this child has always been in the palace."

"Madam, I don't quite understand what you mean." Xiao Yan'an was confused.

"Prince, in the harem, it's too easy to make a group of palace maids pregnant."

Xiao Yan'an suddenly understood, "I understand!"

The Empress Dowager could make the palace maids pregnant at about the same time as Chang Ru, and then, she also had means to make these palace maids give birth earlier than Chang Ru.

Judging from the probability problem, among ten palace maids, one will definitely give birth to a son.

All it takes is a boy to accomplish this.

The rest will be disposed of quietly.

Next, it depends on Chang Ru’s own fate.

If it's a boy, there's no need to go to great lengths.

If a daughter is born, the child will be swapped immediately.

Now, the difficulty lies in how to find the place where the Empress Dowager hid people.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Wenxuan could arrive at the Empress Dowager's palace so punctually was because of the rumor spread by Ji Chuhe.

in the palace.

Chang Ru felt her stomach hurting more and more, so much so that she couldn't help but cry out.

Xiao Wenxuan heard Chang Ru's cry outside, and immediately stood up and walked towards the door of the room.

"Your Majesty, the delivery room is a filthy place. Not to mention that you are the emperor, even men from ordinary families have no precedent of entering the delivery room." The Empress Dowager shouted coldly.

"Grand Empress Dowager, I am just too worried. Although I am a man, I also know the pain of childbirth for women. It is a life-threatening experience, and it is like walking through the gates of hell. I will send a few imperial doctors to guard together before I can feel at ease."

"That's not necessary." The Empress Dowager refused.

Just as Xiao Wenxuan was about to speak, the Empress Dowager interrupted him.

"Your Majesty is sitting here guarding the children personally. Could it be possible that you suspect that someone has swapped the children right under your nose?" The Empress Dowager directly exposed Xiao Wenxuan's thoughts.

"Why did the Empress Dowager say that? Why would I have such an idea?"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and did not respond.

Xiao Wenxuan glanced into the house again.

Can you really perform a magic trick in such a room?

Or is it that the Empress Dowager is also gambling?

Bet that Chang Ru can give birth to a prince.

Chang Ru's screams became more and more miserable, and blood began to flow out of the house.

"Mrs. Chang, use more strength, yes, use more strength, push down with all your strength!"

Chang Ru's screams and the midwife's voice came one after another.

"Oh no, it's bad, the fetus is in an abnormal position!" the midwife suddenly shouted.

Chang Ru's heart tightened and she immediately looked at Nanny Li who was watching her give birth.

Nanny Li glanced at her, her eyes full of pity.

Chang Ru suddenly panicked. She wanted to sit up, but was held down by Nanny Li.

At this moment, she could conclude that she definitely did not have an abnormal fetal position!

The Empress Dowager wanted to kill her!

Kill the mother and save the child, letting her die in childbirth!

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. If you want to keep your child, just give birth to him. Otherwise, two lives will be lost and the gain will not make up for the loss. The Empress Dowager does not lack children." Nanny Li reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You!" Chang Ru almost fainted from anger, "Don't you want the remaining 20,000 taels of silver?"

"If your majesty changes her mind, even if you give birth to a boy, it is up to you to decide whether the child can survive."

An unprecedented fear enveloped Chang Ru's heart.

It turned out that the Empress Dowager had never thought of saving her life!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room. She was holding a child in her arms, her body hidden behind the curtain. The child was surprisingly quiet, not crying or making a fuss.
