As soon as Duanmu Yu Ling heard the reports from the crowd below, he immediately abandoned the officials and hurried towards the Phoenix Perching Palace. As he entered the courtyard, he heard heart-wrenching screams, and his heart twisted in his chest.

He randomly grabbed a servant girl from Phoenix Perching Hall and asked, "How is the empress?"

The servant girl kneeled on the ground and replied, "This servant doesn't know that the midwife is still in the hall and hasn't come out yet."

Duanmu Yu Ling waved his hands as he walked past the servant girl and out of the main hall. From time to time, he would try to peek inside. Anyone who came out of the main hall would be held captive and asked a few questions.

With a creaking sound, the flower rose up into the air. Seeing Duanmu Yuling standing guard by the door, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Your servant knows that you're here and has come to inform you that the midwife said that the Empress's position is very good and that she will give birth to a prince soon. The Emperor's body is made of gold, so standing here would arouse criticism. "

"It's nothing, you just have to take care of the empress. I'll wait here."

"Yes." Lian Qiuyu also only came out to remind her; she didn't want others to think that they didn't know the rules. Since the words were already spoken, she couldn't care less about the rest.

It was just as the midwife had said, the child landed in less than two hours. All of the midwives in the hall were brimming with joy. This was the first child of the emperor, and he was his direct son. The emperor would definitely reward them handsomely.

The leading midwife came out from the inner palace, hugging the little prince as she blessed him. "Congratulations, your majesty. The empress has given birth to a robust little prince."

'Ding … guide target affability level + 5, current affability level 100. "Mission accomplished, 1000 points, 5000 points."

Duanmu Huanghun was overjoyed. He lowered his head to look at the young prince, who was crying loudly in his midwives' arms, and said, "The Phoenix Perching Palace rewards the young prince with one year's worth of money."

All of them were overjoyed. They kneeled on the ground and shouted, "Long live the King!"

The people outside the hall hadn't been happy for long before bad news came from the inner hall.

Cai Hong stumbled out of the inner hall, tears on her face. "Your majesty, the Empress is about to die. Hurry and enter."

"What?" Duanmu Huanghun took a few steps back, disbelief written all over his face. Fortunately, Little Chop had been by his side the entire time, stabilizing his swaying body. "I don't believe you!" Pushing aside the path, he rushed into the chamber.

Lian Qiuqing even hugged Qing Qing and cried out in grief, "Empress, wake up quickly. Even if it's not for you, you still have to think for the little prince. If the little prince lost his mother, who could take care of him like his own mother?" When they saw Duanmu Yuling enter, they wiped their tears away and followed the rest of the maids, kneeling on the floor to make room for him.

"Qingqing, I'm here. Can you open your eyes and look at me?" The person in his arms was soft, and the temperature of his body was gradually decreasing.

Qing Qing was still hanging in the air waiting for Duanmu Yu Ling. She struggled to open her eyes and said, "Your majesty, please take good care of our child." After which, he closed his eyes slowly and felt completely breathless.

The little man stepped forward and sniffed. His hand trembled as he kneeled on the ground and began to whimper.

Duanmu Yuling didn't say a word and just sat there, hugging Qing Qing and immersing herself in his own world. He gently stroked her hair, using his embrace to try and warm her cold body.
