The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muxi hurried out to greet them. Seeing that the visitors were Xue Wanhe and Gu Yuelan, she pretended to be panicked and said, "My eldest sister is about to give birth. Please ask the Crown Princess to quickly ask the imperial physician and midwife to come to the West Palace."

"What did you say? Say it again." Gu Yuelan's eyes widened, thinking she was hallucinating.

Xue Wanhe, who was usually calm and emotionless, also looked incredulous and surprised.

"My elder sister is eight and a half months pregnant and is about to give birth. Don't delay the opportunity. Crown Princess, you should quickly send someone to call the imperial physician!" Yan Muxi repeated.

Gu Yuelan still didn't believe it, and ran quickly into the inner hall, and ran out again in a moment, with a shocked and dazed expression, "Oh my God! Concubine Yan is not only pregnant, but she is about to give birth. I am not dreaming!"

Hearing what Gu Yuelan said, Xue Wanhe did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly ordered the palace servant beside her, "Go and invite the imperial physician quickly. Make sure to invite an imperial physician who is proficient in gynecology."

Gu Yuelan also realized that the imperial physician could not deliver the baby, and Yan Muqing would not be able to find a reliable midwife for a while. She ordered the palace servants, "Go and find Wu Po from the East Palace. She can deliver the baby. Hurry up."

Mrs. Wu was the midwife that Old Madam Gu had prepared for Gu Yuelan. She was a female doctor and not only knew how to deliver babies, she was also well versed in pharmacology.

Changle Palace invited away the deputy director of the Imperial Medical Bureau who was good at gynecology, and also sent people out of the palace to find a midwife in a hurry. The news that Yan Muqing was pregnant and about to give birth quickly spread in the palace.

Empress Xue got the news and rushed to the West Palace immediately. "What exactly is going on? When did Concubine Yan get pregnant? Why did she hide it from everyone until the day of delivery?"

In order to prevent Empress Xue from punishing Yan Muqing's personal servants, Yan Muxi explained, "Don't worry too much, Empress. I have already asked my elder sister, and she said she didn't want the news of her pregnancy to spread. She was worried that the baby in her belly would not be able to be kept like Concubine Li in the Rui Palace, so she chose to conceal it."

Empress Xue still felt that this was too absurd. "We can't be too defensive. If there's an accident, we can just keep it a secret until the fetus is stable. Why do we have to keep it a secret until the day of delivery? How can we treat the royal heir so lightly?"

"My elder sister also said that when she was three months pregnant, she wanted to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about her pregnancy, but he confined her to her room. His Royal Highness's heart and eyes were full of other women, and she didn't dare to take risks with her own child."

Hearing Yan Muxi mention the actress Qian Mei, Empress Xue couldn't help feeling guilty, after all, it was she who had brought that person into the palace.

In the past, the prince had quarreled with her several times because of Yan Muqing. She always felt uncomfortable with Yan Muqing, who was able to alienate their mother-son relationship and had monopolized the prince's favor after entering the East Palace.

Hearing that the prince had fallen in love with another woman, and wanting the other woman to take away Yan Muqing's favor, she decided to allow the actor to enter the East Palace.

Who would have thought that this actor with ordinary appearance and background could actually capture the heart of the prince and force Yan Muqing, whose mother's family was powerful, into the point where she dared not even announce her pregnancy.

As the queen of a country, no matter how guilty she feels inside, she cannot show it outwardly. Empress Xue disapproved and refuted Yan Muxi, "She is just a concubine of low birth, how can she make such a big fuss? Concubine Yan is too cautious."

"But it was this humble concubine that the Queen mentioned. She came to the West Palace and made a scene last night. My elder sister was stimulated into premature birth! The birth date was suddenly advanced by a month, and we don't know whether there will be an heir to the throne yet..." Yan Muxi stopped talking after saying that.

"Is this true?" Queen Xue's face suddenly changed. Thinking that the prince's first child had suffered such a disaster, she no longer bothered to investigate the fact that Yan Muqing had concealed her pregnancy. She was left with only worry.

Among the adult princes now, only Prince Rui and the Crown Prince are married. No offspring has been born in Prince Rui's Mansion yet. If Yan Muqing can give birth to a child safely, it will be the emperor's first grandchild. Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, it will be unique and noble.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, who should have been noble and unparalleled, was forced into premature birth by a lowly actor. The more Empress Xue thought about it, the more she regretted it. She was the Empress of Dafeng, the mother of a country. Why should she compete with her favored daughter-in-law, allowing others to take advantage of the opportunity and harm the emperor's grandson?

If the child can be born safely and healthily, everything will be fine. If not, she will have to deal with that hateful and lowly actor even if it means incurring the prince's resentment.

We waited from mid-chen to early noon, but the child still hadn't been born.

In the inner hall, Yan Muqing was shaking with pain.

She gritted her teeth to stay awake, not shouting or yelling, and tried her best to cooperate with Yan Muyun's instructions.

However, the cervix had already fully dilated and the fetal head was unable to enter the pelvis, with the baby stuck on top and unable to come out.

Madam Liu warned in a low voice: "If you continue to waste time like this, it will not be good for the little master in your belly. I'm afraid the concubine won't have the strength to give birth!"

Yan Muyun frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Jin Chun beside her, "Can you adjust the fetal position?" She was inexperienced in delivering babies, so she didn't dare to try to push the fetus into the pelvis rashly. She would never choose a cesarean section unless it was absolutely necessary.

Jin Chun shook her head, "This is my first time delivering a baby, so I don't know how to change the fetus." After all, she is a young girl who has not yet married. She has plenty of theoretical knowledge, but she doesn't have any contact with women in labor on a daily basis, so she has no chance to do anything.

Mrs. Wu wanted to say that she could adjust the fetal position, but was interrupted by Aunt Liu who had just reminded her. "I can adjust the fetal position. Although my skills are not high, I can still push the fetus into the pelvis easily."

Yan Muyun made way and said, "Then come over here and quickly find a way to help the fetus enter the pelvis!"

Nanny Liu was brought here by Empress Xue, so she should be trustworthy.

Madam Liu followed her instructions and walked over. She was about to touch her pregnant belly when she heard a loud shout, "Stop!"

However, her actions did not stop because of the shouting, and her palm quickly moved towards her pregnant belly.

"Jin Chun, stop her!" Yan Muxi, who came in from outside, shouted urgently.

Jin Chun and Madam Liu were separated from Yan Muyun, but fortunately she had some experience in martial arts, so she took a big step forward and kicked Madam Liu away before her hand touched her pregnant belly.

Nanny Liu fell to the ground, and the long needle hidden in her sleeve also fell to the ground.

Jin Chun flew forward and held her down, "Tell me, who asked you to murder the little emperor's grandson?"

The detained Madam Liu did not struggle. Jin Chun looked down and saw black blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, obviously she had swallowed poison.

Seeing this, Yan Muxi quickly took out a porcelain bottle of detoxification pills from her purse and said, "Hurry up, give her one."

Jin Chun touched Madam Liu's neck and said, "It's useless. She must have taken the Death Powder. She will die instantly after the medicine enters her throat. Even gods can't save her."

The noise was heard in the outer hall. Empress Xue rushed in and saw the scene. She covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming.

Gu Yuelan, who was following behind, also hurriedly covered her lips. Xue Wanhe was so scared that his legs went limp and he collapsed.

"Ah~~~" A timid palace maid screamed in fear.

It’s no wonder that everyone was timid. Madam Liu had blood gushing from her mouth and nose, and her eyes were wide open. Her death was truly horrifying.

"What, what's going on?" Queen Xue quickly calmed herself down and asked in a trembling voice.

Yan Muxi pointed at the long needle that fell on the ground. "This old woman intended to murder the concubine and the fetus in her belly. After being discovered, she committed suicide by taking poison."

Empress Xue didn't believe it. "How is it possible? Madam Liu is the fourth princess's wet nurse. She has a clean background. She has been in the palace for more than ten years and has never caused any trouble. It is impossible for her to do anything to murder the royal heir."

"If Her Majesty does not believe it, you can ask the imperial physician to check." Yan Muxi's voice was cold.

Who could have thought that something would go wrong with the people brought by Queen Xue? If she had come in a moment later, or if she didn't have the skills of a thief to discover the long needle in the nanny's sleeve, the child in Yan Muqing's belly would probably have been lost just like in the dream.

When the accident happened, Yan Muyun lowered the bed curtain to block Yan Muqing's view. She herself did not dare to look at him for long, fearing that her emotions would be too great and affect the fetus in her belly.

"Don't be afraid, big sister. She didn't touch you. The child will be fine."

"Don't worry, Third Sister. I'm not afraid."

The sudden change made Yan Muqing's dizzy mind become much clearer.

In his previous life, he had seen the mountains of corpses and seas of blood when the Eastern Palace was destroyed. How could he be frightened by an old woman who took poison now?

After Aunt Liu was dragged out, Yan Muyun put away the bed curtain again. Not daring to delay any longer, she asked Aunt Wu, who was trembling with fear, "Can you adjust the fetal position?"
