The emperor turned around and looked at the tightly closed door. For a moment, he even blamed the child in his belly for causing Rong'er to suffer like that...

He reached out to push open the door, but was stopped by Su Peisheng:

"Your Majesty, if you go in, the Empress Chen will probably be distracted by your presence, which will be detrimental to the birth. Your Majesty, rest assured, the Empress Chen will be blessed by heaven, and the Empress and the little prince will be fine."

Su Peisheng bowed and tried to comfort the emperor. The emperor nodded hesitantly and then walked towards the study.

As midnight approached, the footsteps of those guarding outside the palace suddenly became chaotic. When An Lingrong didn't feel any pain, she could even hear shouts of killing in the distance...

But as time passed, the stomachaches became more frequent and more painful, but even so, An Lingrong did not dare to shout out loud.

First, the midwife said that shouting loudly would be detrimental to the subsequent delivery, and second, she was afraid that the guards outside would hear her screaming and disturb their minds...

Finally, just after the hour of Chou, An Lingrong felt her stomach and waist being hit hard by a sledgehammer, and finally let out a shrill cry...

"Rong'er, what's wrong with you?" The emperor rushed out of the study and raised his hand to push the door to check. A midwife guarding the door knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress Chen is fine. She is about to give birth. Your Majesty must not go in at this time..."

Seeing this, Su Peisheng stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral rules, you cannot go in at this time..."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then stood outside the door and asked, "Rong'er, is there anything wrong?"

At this moment, An Lingrong didn't have the energy to reply, so she glanced at Juqing. Juqing understood and came out to report to the emperor. The emperor then hesitated and returned to the study.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. An Lingrong even saw a flame rising into the sky outside, and she couldn't help but become nervous.

"Juqing, what's going on outside?" An Lingrong asked in a low voice. Juqing said, "My lady, I just asked and it's fine outside. Your Majesty, just rest assured."

Although she knew that Ju Qing was comforting her, she still nodded. Then she felt a wave of pain, so much so that she wanted to bang her head against the wall...

"Your Majesty, it's fully open. Just do as I say and push harder." The midwife looked at An Lingrong with joy on her face, and An Lingrong nodded.

Under the guidance of the midwife, although An Lingrong was exhausted, Ju Qing fed An Lingrong ginseng soup, and An Lingrong felt that she had strength again...

At the end of the Yin hour, the sounds of fighting seemed to be not far away. An Lingrong could even hear shouting and orders. In a trance, she felt that the fire was right in front of her.

"My queen, use more force! Take a deep breath! Use more force! My queen!..." The midwife's voice was right in front of me, and the sound of swords clashing seemed to be right beside my ears...

The emperor was sitting in the outer hall, surrounded by guards. He held a sword in his hand and stood at the door of the bedroom, his eyes narrowed, as if waiting for someone outside to rush in...

"My Lady! Push harder!..." An Lingrong felt like she was about to die from the pain, and tears began to flow uncontrollably. Ju Qing knelt in front of the bed, wiping An Lingrong's tears while shedding tears of heartache...

"Ah!!" Following a shrill cry, the emperor opened his eyes and looked back towards the bedroom. Then, a baby's cry was heard:

“Wow~Wow~Wow~…”

When the emperor heard the voice, a trace of joy appeared on his face. At this moment, the palace door was pushed open. The guards immediately drew their swords and looked towards the palace door. The emperor's sword was also unsheathed...

"Your Majesty! It's done!" It was Feng Chi! Feng Chi knelt down as soon as he entered the room, bowed his hands and spoke in the direction of the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Concubine Chen has given birth to a little prince..." At this moment, the door of the bedroom was opened, and the midwife came out holding a swaddling cloth, and bowed to the emperor...

"Okay! Rewards! Everyone will get rewards!" The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and spoke loudly, took the swaddling clothes from the midwife's arms, and walked towards the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the room inside is not cleaned up yet. Please wait a moment." The midwife tried to stop them, but the door had already been pushed open and a smell of blood hit them in the face.

"It's okay." The emperor said as he walked in. The midwife and the maidservants hurriedly cleaned up and lit incense. The emperor had already arrived in front of An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty..." An Lingrong's face turned pale. She forced a faint smile and looked at the emperor.

"Rong'er, look at our son." The emperor said as he sat down on the bed and placed the swaddling clothes in his arms in front of An Lingrong.

An Lingrong looked at the swaddling clothes and saw that the child was still looking around with his eyes open. Then he yawned a little, but still looked around with his eyes open.

"This little guy! He's very smart!" The emperor said, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, please give him a name." An Lingrong looked at the child in her arms and spoke softly.

The emperor listened and thought carefully, then looked up and saw that the sky outside was bright, and a ray of red sun shone on the window paper into an orange color, so he said: "The sun is rising and the mountains are like fire... The rising sun will surely bring great success... Why not take the word 'Sheng', Hong Sheng... Rong'er, do you like it?"

The emperor looked at An Lingrong with a smile on his face, and An Lingrong nodded.

As the sun rose, the sounds of sweeping and sweeping continued outside. It was not until noon of the next day that An Lingrong brought Hong Sheng back to Chengqian Palace.

After that, rewards flowed into Chengqian Palace like water. This made Juqing very busy. She was so tired that she didn't even have dinner and went to rest...

Chengqian Palace.

"How are you?!" Fu Cha sat in front of An Lingrong's bed, holding An Lingrong's hand and looking at her, his face full of concern, and his voice choked with sobs when he spoke.

"You're already a mother, why are you crying? I'm fine..." An Lingrong forced a faint smile and comforted the person in front of her.

"Didn't we agree that I would stay by your side when you gave birth? Why did you give birth by yourself? Did it hurt? I heard from Juqing that you started having stomachache since dinner and it lasted all night..." As Fu Cha spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

That night, she sat in Shoukang Palace holding Wangshu, listening to the sounds of fighting outside. She was never at peace. She didn't dare to close her eyes the whole night. However, An Lingrong gave birth to a child under such circumstances...

"In the past, you always protected me. I was waiting for this day. Why did you give birth to the baby by yourself?" Fu Cha raised his head and didn't dare to let the tears flow...

"Giving birth is not like eating, how can you wait? I will wait for you when I give birth next time, okay?" An Lingrong had never seen Fu Cha like this before, and didn't know how to comfort him, so she just spoke jokingly.
