Xiao Fu paused while wiping her master's sweat. She realized whose whereabouts her master was asking about and quickly said, "My Lady, Xiao Fu doesn't know either. He should not have returned yet."
Ji Wei also remembered that if Wu Lan came back, she would not come in through the main entrance.
She was the first to know as soon as Wu Lan came back.
"Have the Queen Mother and the Empress arrived? Xiao Fu, please go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother on my behalf."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Not long after, Xiao Fu came in with a panicked look on her face.
When Ji Wei learned that Ji Shilan had sent people to surround Caiwei Palace, she couldn't help but curse Ji Shilan. What assassins ran into Caiwei Palace? It was simply nonsense!
This time, Shi Lan wanted to attack her!
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Xiao Fu quickly comforted Ji Wei, and the midwife handed over the medicine bowl and asked Ji Wei to drink the medicine.
"Your Majesty, this is the medicine you ordered the maid to brew. Drink it while it's hot."
Ji Wei looked at the bowl of medicine, which should be the prescription Wu Lan wrote before she left.
"Has the doctor checked it?"
"My Lady, the doctor has checked it out and there is nothing wrong with this tonic."
"Bring it here."
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Ji Wei felt a terrible stomachache.
"My dear, my stomach hurts!" "Don't worry, my lady, you're about to give birth."
After a burst of cramps, Ji Wei tried to take a deep breath, hoping to give birth to the baby quickly.
"The Queen has given birth! It's a little princess!"
When Ji Wei heard what the midwife said, she felt disappointed for a moment, but then she quickly cheered up. She had another baby in her belly, so there was a 50% chance that this baby was a prince, right?
Otherwise, how could she switch the baby in front of everyone?
Damn Wu Lan, he’s incompetent, why hasn’t he come yet!
She hammered on the bed three times, but no one responded from the bottom, which was covered by a thick, long cloth.
This old lady Wang asked her to maintain her strength, which made Ji Wei really upset.
Ever since Ji Mingyue's death, Ji Wei felt her situation was difficult. She was also afraid that the child she was expecting wouldn't be enough to secure her the position of empress dowager. So, she secretly ordered her secret guards to dig a tunnel through her own bedroom. The tunnel was quick, and the tunnel only reached the storeroom in the side hall, where unused items were piled. She held the key. The side hall was near the back door of Caiwei Palace, so Wu Lan could easily use the key she had given her to open the storeroom and enter the bedroom through the secret passage.
Ji Wei knocked on the bed again, but there was no movement under the bed. She realized that Wu Lan had not yet come out of the secret passage with the baby.
For now, she can only pin her hopes on the baby in her belly.
With Ji Wei's earnest expectation, the second child was born!
"My lady, it's a prince!"
Xiao Fu said happily when she saw the child's physical features.
But before Ji Wei could react, the midwife had already taken the child out.
"Po Wang, what are you doing?"
Xiao Fu reached out to pull the midwife, but was pushed to the ground.
"Empress Dowager, help! The little prince's face has turned blue and he may die. Please call the imperial physician quickly!" Before Ji Wei could be happy that she had given birth to a son, she heard Wang Po yelling. She was both angry and furious.
"What is this old woman doing! Xiao Fu, go stop her!"
Xiao Fu quickly got up and chased after Wang Po, holding her back and preventing her from leaving.
However, this commotion had already attracted attention from outside, and Queen Ji was the first to order people to bring Wang Po out.
Xiao Fu glared at Wang Po, who, in turn, looked at Xiao Fu in fear. Upon seeing the Queen Mother and the Empress, she knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please quickly summon the imperial physician. The little prince has been ill since birth and needs urgent treatment. Your Majesty the Concubine is distraught and wants to keep it a secret, but I'm afraid it will be too late if we're late!"
Xiao Fu said angrily, "Wang Po, you are talking nonsense! The master didn't even look at the little prince, didn't even say a word, and you snatched the little prince away! You even pushed me to the ground. Now the little prince is in trouble, are you behind it? It's you who wants to harm the master and the little prince!" Wang Po knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Empress Dowager, I dare not die! Please save the little prince!"
