Chapter 1262: Chapter 1173: Pan’er Gives Birth (4)

"You... you child, what am I to do with you? Sigh..."

Seeing that Su Pan’er stubbornly refused to agree, Mrs. Su-Hua could only helplessly sigh.

"Very well, very well, Mother won’t mention it anymore. Come to speak of it, even if you indeed give birth to two daughters this time, as long as Imperial Concubine Feng bears a son. You can just ask His Majesty to take the child and raise him under your name."

This solution was also good, except that everyone would know that the child wasn’t Pan’er’s biological son.

However, as long as the Empress and His Majesty’s relationship is good, and His Majesty also agrees to this proposal, who else outside could say anything?

After all, this is His Majesty’s family affair!

Realizing this, Mrs. Su-Hua gradually regained her smile.

"Pan’er, put in some more effort, let’s give it our all and hopefully, this time, you’ll safely give birth to a little Prince, silencing all the gossip once and for all, and sparing Mother from hidden worries. Everyone would be overjoyed, wouldn’t that be wonderful!"

Su Pan’er was in such pain that she nearly laughed, if only she could make that decision herself!

While Su Pan’er struggled on the brink of life and death, on the other side, Feng Xiyue also received the news that Su Pan’er was in childbirth.

Although the child in Feng Xiyue’s abdomen was one month younger than that in Pan’er’s, she was nevertheless visibly pregnant.

The one who came to report was her personal nanny, Nanny Jiang, who was sent by her brother, Feng Jiu, to take care of her in the palace.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Nanny Jiang seemed very anxious, frowning at Feng Xiyue’s belly: "Old servant fears that Your Majesty’s belly won’t stir so soon. But if Huayang Palace gives birth to a Prince before us, then even if the child from Your Majesty’s belly is also a Prince, we will have lost the initiative. In that case, Your Majesty and the little Prince’s life in the palace from now on, I fear, will become... even more difficult..."

Difficult was an understatement; it was virtually trudging through thick mud!

The kind of days the Empress spent in the palace was clear as day to her personal nanny.

Water Moon Courtyard (formerly Shuiyan Park, the name was changed a few months ago to avoid taboo) was only as big as the palm of a hand. Although one could move about freely within it, it was ultimately like a bird in a cage, bereft of freedom.

But even for a caged bird, the owner would still play with it and talk to it.

Looking back at her own master?

Apart from the occasional servant bringing something over, not even a shrimp was in sight.

Thinking about these, an indescribable sadness welled up in Nanny Jiang’s heart.

"Nanny, you need not worry. As long as Feng Xiyue has a bite to eat, I will certainly not let you live on porridge. We help each other and slowly, we will surely get through these days."

Feng Xiyue was consoling her.

Instead, these words made Nanny Jiang’s tears uncontrollable: "Yes, endure, keep on enduring. At this point, apart from enduring, I can’t help Your Majesty with anything else."

Endure, the word was so vividly appropriate!

Apart from continuing the hard slogging, there seemed to be no other way.

"Not true."

Feng Xiyue suddenly smiled.

"How is it not true? Isn’t Your Majesty still enduring hardships?" Nanny Jiang forgot her tears for the moment, urgently inquiring.

"That’s not it, Nanny Jiang."

Feng Xiyue sat up straight: "What I mean is, it’s not that you can’t help me with anything; it’s that, right now, Xiyue has a task that needs your assistance! It’s an extremely dangerous task, and if you don’t wish to undertake it, Xiyue would never force you! Take your time to think it over, Nanny Jiang, and let me know your decision once you’ve made up your mind."

A single sentence immediately ignited a roaring fire in Nanny Jiang’s eyes.

She nearly swore an oath by the heavens!

"Can’t you trust your servant even today, Empress? Your servant now shares in the Empress’s honor and disgrace; naturally, I am always hoping for the Empress’s well-being. Whatever your commands are, just tell your servant! As long as it’s within my power, I will definitely not refuse!"

Feng Xiyue nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well! Since that is the case, carry out my orders. I’m telling you..."

She whispered into Nanny Jiang’s ear for a while. The words caused Nanny Jiang’s eyes to gleam brightly, as she kept nodding in agreement.

The time slipped by minute by minute.

As noon was approaching, Su Pan’er, who had started having frequent contractions from the morning, still showed no signs of childbirth, yet the wailing from inside had clearly diminished.

Qin Yi paced back and forth anxiously, like a restless lion.

Su Huarong’s face was already bruised, but still, he showed no sign of stepping down.

Having taken the most advantageous position, he glared at Qin Yi’s back, ready to pick a fight, "Stop pacing already! You might not get dizzy from all that walking, but it’s making my head spin."

"Dizzy? Who asked you to stay here? Go wash your face; it’s ghastly to look at."

Qin Yi said casually, occasionally standing on tiptoes to look inside, paying no attention to Su Huarong.

"I won’t! I think it’s quite fine the way it is!"

Today, Su Huarong was also obstinate, not giving in one bit.

"You dare defy an imperial order?"

Qin Yi was furious!

"This servant would, of course, not dare. But..."

Su Huarong’s rebuttal was no less forceful than his momentum, "But what does this have to do with defying an order?"

Qin Yi was choked with annoyance, glaring at him furiously and even shoving him aside, "Don’t think just because you are my uncle by marriage that I won’t lay a hand on you. Truly provoke me, and next time I will throw you onto the battlefield! Then, don’t come to anyone for mercy! Get lost, don’t embarrass yourself here!"

Su Huarong’s fists were clenched so hard they almost dripped water, "If it weren’t for considering your status, my fists would have fallen already! She is my sister, on what grounds do you forbid me to stay here?"

"It’s because I am Pan’er’s husband!" Qin Yi replied with unwavering certainty.

And that utterly enraged Su Huarong!

"Fine! Since you are my brother-in-law, it’s only right for an elder brother to strike the younger. Take this!"

With that punch, Su Huarong aimed straight for Qin Yi’s cheek, a blow filled with rage, almost expending his entire strength.

Qin Yi dodged and flickered to the side, but Su Huarong’s second punch followed quickly!

He was just about to dodge when Su Pan’er suddenly let out a scream from the delivery room, causing him to instinctively pause. Su Huarong’s fist landed right on his shoulder. This was still a result of his reflexive dodge.

"Hey! Are you serious?"

Qin Yi, covering his aching shoulder, raised his eyebrows and spoke, his face clearly showing surprise!

It had been a long time since anyone dared to lay hands on him, and to be hit today was really a novel sensation.

"It’s you I’m hitting!"

As Su Huarong threw another punch, Qin Yi dodged and then rushed forward to return a punch.
