The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Yuzhen, who felt a sense of relief inside his body, heaved a sigh of relief reflexively when he heard Doctor Zhou say this impatiently - the fish's mouth was completely hooked and stable.

Female doctor Zhou quickly picked up the baby and skillfully used her body to block the view of others. Midwife Sun had no chance to see what the baby looked like. Between the two medical officials, naturally, Zhou, as a female doctor, had a higher status. Just now, she was ordered by Female Doctor Zhou to get a clean wet cloth, but when she turned around, the baby was already born.

When she went to see again, the newborn baby had been simply wrapped up. Doctor Zhou said that she would take the little prince to the inner room to wash him first, and then she hurried in under Xia Zhi's somewhat horrified gaze.

Midwife Sun instinctively felt that something was fishy, ​​but of low status, she was afraid of being dragged into the struggle and suffering bad consequences if she entered the palace to deliver babies for the concubines.

So she quickly turned around and looked for Xia Zhi: "Miss, this... the little prince hasn't even cried yet, why was he taken away...", but she only got a cold, nervous, and very stern look from the other party.

Xia Zhi stared at Doctor Zhou's every move. For Xie Rui's real plan, even though she was temporarily distracted for a few seconds by Doctor Zhou's excuse, she was young and her reaction was much faster than that of midwife Sun - the moment the child was born, she clearly saw that it was a princess!

She gritted her teeth. If it weren't for her wife's plan, Xia Zhi would have taken the opportunity to take down the female doctor Zhou.

After giving birth, Xie Yuzhen still felt severe pain in her abdomen, but it was much easier than the previous delivery. She was sweating all over, and almost every muscle was twitching slightly, but she couldn't relax yet.

The emperor, who only knew that Xie Yuzhen had provided Meng Ronghua with many conveniences to plot against her during this period, and had no idea what Xie Yuzhen had specifically planned, first felt relieved when he heard that the prince was born, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Before he could ask, he heard Xie Yuzhen yelling in a hoarse voice in the delivery room where no one had cried out in pain during childbirth: "What prince?! I gave birth to a princess!!!"

In the inner room, Doctor Zhou had just put the child on the bed and was about to take out the baby boy hidden in the box under the bed to replace him, but her hand shook violently and she sped up the replacement.

When she heard Xie Cairen's beast-like roar, her hair stood on end. But when she thought of her two children at home...she gritted her teeth and calmed herself down. She patted the baby boy twice, and the baby, who was originally sleeping soundly, immediately let out a weak cry.

What Doctor Zhou didn't notice was that as soon as she left the house, Xiaoxi immediately crawled out from the other side of the bed, and quietly but quickly took the newborn princess out of the box.

Although she grew up in the palace, Xiaoxi knew that newborns had to cry when they were born. If they didn't cry, they would likely become stillborn or be born mute. Therefore, newborns who didn't cry would most likely be slapped in the face by the midwife and forced to cry out loud before they could be taken for cleaning.

Doctor Zhou would naturally not forget this, but what she needed was for the real little princess to remain silent so that she could successfully swap the baby. Why would she care whether the newborn baby would have any problems due to a blocked trachea?

Xiaoxi hurriedly took the child out, ready to use the new delivery techniques she had learned in the past few months to remedy the situation, but she saw that the baby was red and wrinkled, with fluid from the mother's womb on its body. Although a little disheveled, it was still cute. What surprised Xiaoxi was that the little princess did not cry out because she had held her breath as she had thought. On the contrary, she was awake, with her dark eyes slightly open. Although she could not see the outside world clearly, this did not prevent the little princess, who had just come into this world, from waving her arms and feet and smiling at her in Xiaoxi's arms.

Doctor Zhou, who was carrying a weakly crying baby boy back to the delivery room, was shouting out her injustice: "Look, Madam, this is indeed a little prince. Just now, I saw that there seemed to be something blocking the little prince's throat, so I took him down to clean it..."

She carried the boy forward, intending to let Xie Yuzhen see clearly what was between the boy's legs, so as to make this difficult master happier.

In this world, which woman doesn’t want a boy when giving birth?

Doctor Zhou felt that she had a sure win, but she didn't expect that Xie Yu was not an ordinary person.

The woman with disheveled hair on the delivery bed gasped for air: "How could I not know what my own child would look like?! Zhou! You secretly replaced the heir and confused the royal bloodline. Do your nine clans have a grudge against you?!"

Seeing that she was so sure that the baby boy in her arms was not the prince, Doctor Zhou was also panicked for a moment, but she quickly lowered her eyes and calmed down, looking at Xia Zhi: "Miss Xia Zhi, women may not be in their usual mood for a period of time after giving birth, and their minds may be disordered..."

"You are crazy!" Xia Zhi had wanted to scold her for a long time. Knowing that Xiaoxi was hiding in the inner room, she didn't even look at Doctor Zhou and the "prince" in her arms. She directly dragged the person around the screen and walked to the door of the delivery room.

Xia Zhi shouted at the door: "Your Majesty, the doctor Zhou has ulterior motives and intends to exchange the little princess our wife just gave birth to with a baby boy of unknown origin..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

Because there was no ventilation in the delivery room for the time being, the door was not opened. The palace maids in the room looked at each other, not knowing what to do - they had never had experience in childbirth, and they were just helping the two midwives in the room, doing whatever they were told to do by their superiors.

But they were people who lived in the palace after all, so they knew something big was happening as soon as they saw it. They continued to clean up, but they all shut their mouths at the same time and pretended that they couldn't hear or see anything.

Only Midwife Sun was worried - she originally thought that this lady wanted to change the prince to win favor, so she allowed Female Doctor Zhou to behave abnormally, but she didn't expect that there were other things hidden here.

Doctor Zhou didn't know what had been exposed about herself, and she couldn't understand why Xie Yu really gave up his son and instead obsessed over a girl.

"The prince was a little weak after he was born, and his trachea was blocked by dirt. If he was not treated in time, his life would be in danger. I took the prince away from the delivery bed temporarily to make his breathing smooth... I didn't expect that after just a short while, the lady would disown her own son. I... felt really wronged!"

She was crying and complaining about her grievances.

However, she did not expect the door in front of her to be opened suddenly, and the door panel almost hit Doctor Zhou. She was so frightened that she almost lost her grip on the baby boy in her arms.

The door of the delivery room was opened wide enough for one person to pass through, and the emperor and the empress squeezed in through the crack in the door one after another.

In this era, women were considered to have too much blood and energy during childbirth, which would offend others, especially men, so they would never be allowed to enter the delivery room. Doctor Zhou could never have imagined that the current emperor and empress did not care at all, and in order to prevent the cold wind from entering, they squeezed in through the crack of the door!

Doctor Zhou, who realized firsthand how much the Emperor and Empress valued this "little talent" of humble origin as mentioned by the Meng family, felt her knees go weak and she began to tremble.
