Shufei saw Mu Yunyu's impatience, sighed, and sat next to Mu Yunyu.

"My son, your mother is also worried about you. Think about the last time..."

Concubine Shu stopped there and didn't say anything else. Mu Yunyu already understood what Concubine Shu meant.

Both mother and daughter were very worried that a situation like Mu Peiyao would happen again.

The last time Mu Peiyao gave birth it also took a long time, and in the end she gave birth to a child with congenital defects.

They and the Prince's Palace were subject to gossip for a long time.

What's the saying that being a prince in a royal family is inherently unlucky? Fortunately, the crown prince is not a prince in a royal family.

What kind of destiny choice is this? The prince is not worthy of having children.

There are even more extreme ones, saying that the prince must have done something unforgivable behind his back, so this is a punishment from God.

This was after Mu Peiyao gave birth. Mu Yunyu quickly suppressed the news and only told the outside world that Mu Peiyao had given birth to a stillborn baby.

If they knew that the child was not only stillborn but also missing limbs, who knows what kind of gossip would spread.

When Concubine Shu heard these rumors, she was furious and ran to the emperor in a rage to beg him to order the punishment of those who spoke ill of her.

But these words first came from the people, so where can we find the source?

Therefore, the emperor dropped the matter and did not mention it again.

Concubine Shu had no choice but to return to the palace and curse harshly.

They are just a bunch of unruly people, vulgar people who cannot read or write. They spread whatever they know.

But Concubine Shu forgot that the reason she enjoyed the honor and favor of a concubine and Mu Yunyu enjoyed the respect of a prince was not because of themselves or the emperor, but because of the common people of Mu Kingdom.

We are supported by the people, we take from the people, and we should use it for the people.

However, Concubine Shu looked down on the common people from the bottom of her heart. She was ignorant and unwise, which determined her fate.

Mu Yunyu was getting increasingly annoyed, but he was also genuinely afraid because no one cared about his reputation more than he did.

If he wants to inherit the throne, he absolutely cannot have a bad reputation.

"Mother, please stop talking."

Shufei was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of some new world, and suddenly leaned close to Mu Yunyu and whispered.

"My son, mother has an idea."

Mu Yunyu raised his head slightly and motioned for Concubine Shu to continue.

"Whether Yuwen Yuchao's child can be born or not, and no matter what he is born with, we must find a way to turn him into a boy."

After Concubine Shu finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yunyu very confidently, waiting for his final decision.

As Yu Wen Yuchao hasn't been born yet, there is still time for everything.

If that doesn't work, at least I can bring back a baby girl.

Mu Yunyu thought his mother could have a better idea, but he didn't expect it to be just this good.

"Mother, I have already thought of what you are talking about."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu was a little excited and asked hurriedly: "Then you..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yunyu closed his eyes and nodded.

He had asked Yu Yi to find the child a long time ago, and the child is now being looked after by a wet nurse.

As long as the child born by Yuwen Yuchao is unhealthy or not born at all, the Prince Heqin's Palace will announce to the outside world that the palace has a son.

But Mu Yunyu was unwilling to give up, he just wanted a child of his own.

As the mother and daughter were discussing the matter, Doctor Zhang and the midwife suddenly came up to them together, startling them both.

Concubine Shu patted her chest, gasping for breath, and yelled, "What are you all doing here? The princess has given birth? Go and find a solution."

Feeling the hostility from Concubine Shu, Mu Yunyu reminded her, "Mother."

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and calmed down a bit, but her tone was still bad: "Tell me, why are you here instead of staying in the delivery room?"

Doctor Zhang and the midwife looked at each other, walked forward tremblingly, and spoke tentatively while observing the expressions of the two important figures.

"Your Majesty, Madam Consort Shu, I am really at a loss as to what to do."

As they spoke, the two of them knelt down, with expressions on their faces as if they were about to cry.

Doctor Zhang thought that death would be the same whether it was early or late, so he might as well be direct and blurt out everything at once.

"The fetus in the princess' belly is too big. In addition, twelve hours have passed and the princess is exhausted. If this continues, the fetus will be suffocated and the mother will suffer damage, resulting in two deaths!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunyu angrily threw the teacup in front of the two men, scaring them so much that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Mu Yunyu walked over and kicked Doctor Zhang to the ground, shouting, "Since that's the case, why don't you quickly find a solution? What's the point of coming to me? Can I deliver babies or save lives?"

Mu Yunyu was really panicked. He didn't believe that God would treat him like this. He felt that he had not done anything against the law.

Even if there was, it was out of necessity and not what he wanted. It was just something that happened in every dynasty as dynasties changed.

Doctor Zhang was trembling all over, and the midwife standing beside him didn't even dare to look up. If she hadn't been kneeling some distance away from Prince He, she would have been the one who was kicked.

The midwife glanced at the disheveled Doctor Zhang out of the corner of her eye and immediately looked away.

Even an imperial physician working in the palace could be beaten, scolded and humiliated so casually, let alone her being just a midwife.

How dare she say a word!

Now I just regretted very much why I followed Doctor Zhang here just now. Maybe I could have saved my life if I had just escaped.

Doctor Zhang endured the pain in his body and took a risk to give advice to Mu Yunyu.

"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone to you. If she comes, the princess and her unborn baby may still be saved."

Mu Yunyu didn't want to hear anything at all, he just wanted to see the results.

"Who else? All the experienced doctors in the Imperial Hospital are here. You all say you are helpless. What else can you do?"

"You two are just trying to save your lives, so you can say anything. I don't need to wait for the princess to give birth. I will order someone to send you to heaven now!"

After saying this, Mu Yunyu didn't seem to consider the consequences and really ordered his men to take action.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu stopped him in time: "Slow down!"

"Don't get so excited. Listen to who he's talking about first."

Then, Concubine Shu turned back to Doctor Zhang and asked, "Tell me, who is that person you are talking about?"

Doctor Zhang had cold sweat on his back, feeling as if he had survived a calamity, as if his life had been snatched back from the jaws of hell.

He immediately knelt back down and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I heard that the regent's granddaughter, Lu Li, had studied abroad for many years and was known as the Divine Doctor Lu."

"If we can invite her here, maybe there will be a way."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu carefully searched her mind for the person that Doctor Zhang mentioned, but it seemed that she had never heard of him before.

Doesn’t the Regent have only one granddaughter, and isn’t she now married to the Crown Prince and becomes the Crown Princess?

I haven’t heard that Mu Peiyun can deliver babies!
