“The master of my immortal sect will come and save me. No one is allowed to

come in.”

Su Qing barked out of the room and ordered. Xiao Qi was already preparing the surgical instruments, hemostatic drugs, anesthetics, sutures, and gauze.

She couldn’t be disturbed during the surgery, and she couldn’t have any irrelevant people. Otherwise, when he sees Xiao Qi cutting her stomach with a knife, he would rush over to stop her and harm himself.

She made up the master of the immortal sect, but Xiao Zeyu believed it very much because he had seen Su Qing take out things from the immortal sect more than once. Moreover, Xiao Qi was also a spirit beast that did not exist in the mortal world.

Hearing that her master was coming to save Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu wasn’t so anxious anymore. He firmly believed that as long as his master came to save Su Qing, Su Qing, and the child would be fine.

Immortals naturally couldn’t be seen by mortals, so Xiao Zeyu ordered everyone not to approach Earth Peace Palace.

Su Hanxuan supported Yang Ruxue and looked at the door anxiously. The door blocked everything in the room. His daughter was on the brink of death. Even if she said that her master would come to save her, as her parents, they would still be anxious unless they saw her safe and sound.

The imperial physician was skeptical that an immortal had saved his life. He would not believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Xiao Qi prepared the surgical tools inside the room and gave Su Qing an anesthetic. A C-section did not require general anesthesia, so Su Qing could still stay awake.

Xiao Qi was Su Qing’s healing system. A small C-section was a piece of cake for her.

The operation didn’t take long. It only took more than an hour to complete the operation. The two babies didn’t cry when they were born. After Xiao Qi finished suturing Su Qing, she picked up the children and patted their feet.

Only then did they cry.

The anxious crowd outside the door relaxed when they heard the child’s cries. Xiao Zeyu had been pacing back and forth in the courtyard for as long as the operation had been going on, and he simply couldn’t stand still.

He could comfort his mother-in-law and father-in-law, but he couldn t comfort himself. His heart was in his throat, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the child crying.

Something strange happened. It was initially cloudy, but it shone brightly the moment the child was born. A colorful rainbow hung in the sky, and a group of beautiful birds he had never seen before flew to the palace sky and danced. It was a promising sign.

The commoners in the capital all looked at the double rainbows in the sky in amazement. The sky was like a blue mirror. It had been long since they had seen such a blue sky. They all guessed that it was a good omen for the prosperity of the Tang Empire.

Running Palace

Xiao Qi sewed up her master’s wound and sprinkled medicine to stop the bleeding. She mumbled,

“Master, don’t worry. There won’t be any scars.”

Su Qing was very tired. She didn’t care about the scar at all. She just wanted to see her baby.

“Xiao Qi, let me see them.”

Xiao Qi hurriedly carried Little Master to the side of her pillow. Her hands were small and could only protect one at a time. She was cautious, afraid that she would drop Little Master.

Su Qing saw the motherly glow in her children’s eyes. These two little cuties were her flesh and blood. They were the babies she gave birth to after nine months of pregnancy. The feeling of being connected by blood was wonderful.

She didn’t have such strong feelings when they were in her stomach. Now that she saw them, she couldn’t bear to look away.

“Can I come in?”

Xiao Zeyu knocked on the door. He only knocked lightly three times, afraid that he would disturb the immortals in the room and they would blame him.

“Open the door.”

Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi. All the surgical tools had been stored in the system, so she was not afraid to let anyone in.

Xiao Qi went to open the door. Xiao Zeyu couldn’t wait to enter the room. The palace’s nanny wanted to call out to him, but it was already a step too late.

Their Emperor didn’t care about anything; wasn’t he afraid of bad luck? Yang Ruxue pushed Su Hanxuan away and followed Xiao Zeyu into the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The palace maids and nannies hurriedly came in to wait on them. They were all curious whether the Empress had given birth to a prince or a princess.

In the past, the midwife always came out to report the good news. Now, the midwife also did not know anything. Even she was curious whether the Empress had given birth to a son or a daughter.

“Shuisheng, we have both children now.”

Su Qing had just finished her surgery, and her face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits. She smiled at Xiao Zeyu.

A pair of twins?

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes lit up. When he checked Su Qing’s pulse, he knew she was pregnant with twins. However, he had always thought that she was carrying two sons. He had not expected that she was carrying twins.

“Qing’er, that’s great. The little princess looks like you.”

Xiao Zeyu didn’t look at his son. He picked up his daughter first and spoke to Su Qing.

He wanted to have a daughter who was as beautiful as Qing’er. He would give his daughter the best of everything in the world, allowing her to grow up without worries.

“Qing’er, you must be tired. Close your eyes and rest for a while. Mother will get the imperial kitchen to make chicken soup for you.”

Yang Ruxue was most concerned about her daughter. She only took a glance at her two grandsons before asking her daughter.

“I’m a little tired. I’ll sleep for a while.”

Su Qing felt she had never been so tired, even in a war. Her eyelids kept drooping together, and she fell asleep as she spoke.

Xiao Zeyu ordered everyone to be careful and not wake the Empress. The two children were also brought to the room that had been prepared by the nanny so that Su Qing could have a good sleep.

The news of the Empress giving birth to twins quickly spread throughout the capital, adding a sense of mystery to Su Qing. The storytellers even described her as an immortal.

“I saw the imperial physician say that the Empress had a difficult labor and that only one Empress and the dragon fetus could be preserved. The Emperor, who loved his wife dearly, ordered the saving of the Empress. However, an Immortal came down to deliver the Empress. A dragon and a phoenix twin were born, and a double rainbow appeared in the sky. The Great Tang will have good weather, and the country’s fortune will be prosperous…”

Xiao Zeyu was delighted with the birth of twins and granted amnesty to the world. The prisoners who were pushed to Caishikou to be beheaded were all released on the spot.

Xiao Zeyu also ordered a year’s tax reduction for the entire country.

This was what the commoners were most happy about. They could cultivate and recuperate. As long as the weather was good for a year, they would not starve anymore. The commoners of the entire country prayed for the Empress and the newborn babies.

When the news of the immortal descending to the mortal world to deliver the Empress’ child spread abroad, those small countries that coveted the territory of the Great Tang felt that the Great Tang had the protection of the immortal and did not dare to have any more thoughts.

On the day that the twins were one-month-old, good news came from the front lines. Zhang Jinglin had led his troops to attack Nanman City. In one day, he had broken through the city, and in three days, he had utterly occupied the capital of Nanman. The Emperor of the Nanman Kingdom was willing to bow down and pay tribute yearly, promising not to harass the border anymore.

Xiao Zeyu originally wanted to destroy the Nanman Kingdom like the Dongying Kingdom. Still, because of the twins and Su Qing’s narrow escape, he forgave the Nanman Kingdom and allowed them to offer gifts.

Zhang Jinglin and Zhong Yong passed by triumphantly. Xiao Zeyu brought the civil and military officials to the city gate to receive them personally, giving them great honor.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Under Xiao Zeyu’s governance, the Great Tang Empire had good weather. Su Qing’s corn and potatoes had a bumper harvest, and no one went hungry anymore.

This year was the third anniversary of the Godmother’s Feast. Although Xiao Zeyu was the Emperor, he still accompanied Zhong Yong back to Mo City. Previously, he had said that he would give his Godmother and Godfather his patellas, but because he was too busy, he couldn’t fulfill his promise. This time, he was going to Mo City to give his Godmother and Godfather his patellas. In addition, it was time for Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan s marriage..
