Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

People in the palace were nervous, and so were the people in Prince Rui’s mansion.

Even a person like MO Qing, who had always kept a straight face, looked wild with excitement. Cong Yang jumped up and down non-stop and said, “Before Tie Yi left, I made a bet with him. I betted all my money on the child being a young princess. If I lose money, I can’t forget about marrying a wife.” Jingzhe happened to hear it and snorted. “I think it’s a little prince.”

“Heh, what makes you think it’s a young prince?” Cong Yang asked, “I think it’s a young princess.”

“Because I said so!” Jingzhe was not to be outdone.

“Stop arguing.” Gu Yu tried to smooth things over. “Why are you being so noisy? Where’s Uncle Tang?”

Uncle Tang was in the corner, praying. “Please, let the mother and child be safe…

In the evening, Shen Miao was finally going to give birth.

The midwife asked the palace maids to prepare water, towels, clean scissors, and a bunch of other things. Luo Tan wanted to go in to take a look, but she was stopped by Nanny Tao. Nanny Tao and a few palace maids went in, and so did Jingzhe and Gu Yu to make sure that no one could harm Shen Miao.

Shen Miao moaned in pain on the bed.

She tried her best to endure the pain. The pain was getting worse and worse, and in the end, it was intense. This pain was more painful than any physical pain she had felt since she was reborn. It was almost as if someone was twisting inside her abdomen with scissors.

“Princess Consort, push harder!” Old Madam Li said, “I can almost see the child!”

Outside, seconds felt like years for Pei Lang and the others.

From time to time, palace maids would come in and out with a basin full of blood. The blood in the basin was shocking. Luo Tan anxiously grabbed the nanny beside her and asked, “What’s going on? Why is there so much blood?”

The nanny comforted her. “It’s fine. Women have to bleed when they give birth.

Don’t be afraid.’

Pei Lang’s mind was drifting away.

In his previous life, when Shen Miao was giving birth to Fu Ming and Wanyu, Fu Xiuyi did not take it to heart at all. At that time, Fu Xiuyi asked him to go and take a look if he happened to pass by.

When Shen Miao was giving birth in her previous life, Pei Lang was beside her. He did not expect that in this life, he would also be beside her while she was giving birth.

Every moment was especially long. After an unknown period of time, they heard an old woman cry out in the room, “It’s out. It’s a young prince! Eh, there’s another one!”

“Twins! Twins! His Highness is so lucky!”

Right on the heels of that, a baby’s cry came from inside.

Everyone was overjoyed. Luo Tan was so happy that she almost fainted! However, before they could catch their breath, they heard Old Madam Li exclaim, “Princess Consort, hold on. Don’t sleep! Don’t sleep!”

Pei Lang’s heart tightened. Before he could react, he heard Nanny Tao’s sad voice. “Princess Consort, hang in there!”

Luo Tan was anxious and couldn’t care less. She barged into the room. Pei Lang hesitated for a moment and heard Nanny Tao say, “Mr. Pei! Mr. Pei, come in!”

Pei Lang rushed into the room. Shen Miao was covered in a blanket, and her face was extremely pale. She said to Old Madam Liu and Old Madam Li, “It’s fine as long as the children are safe.”

“Princess Consort…” Old Madam Liu and Old Madam Li wanted to say something, but they held it back..
