Chapter 467 Self-Deception

The eldest princess stepped over the threshold, her gorgeous dress made her look noble and majestic: "Just treat your majesty as an ordinary woman, don't be so nervous, relax one by one, do what you should do, why are you so nervous?"

Rong Yu heard Nan Xi's faint moan from inside, and his heart was twisted in pain. He wanted to hold her in his arms and let her bite his hand.

"Rong Yu." Xuanyuan Xi frowned, "Why are you still staying here?"

Rong Yu restrained his expression: "I'm accompanying Xi--"

"Accompany her? What else can you do here except make trouble?" Xuanyuan Xi frowned, "Why don't you give birth to her?"

Rong Yu was speechless.

"Get out." Xuanyuan Xi stretched out her hand and pushed him out forcefully, "Wait outside."

This was the first time that Rong Yu was pushed and shouted out, and watched the palace door slowly close in front of him, unable to say a word.

"Even the regent king can be so embarrassed?" A cold snort came from behind, accompanied by Zhan Ruo's mocking expression, "It's really rare."

Rong Yu looked at him expressionlessly, then turned his head to look at the closed palace door in front of him, and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. The scene of Nan Xi gritting her teeth and enduring the pain was still imprinted in his mind, making his usually strong heart twisted together.

"Your Majesty will be fine." Seeing him like this, Zhan Ruo said lightly, "I have been staying in the priest's hall these days to pray for your majesty, asking the gods to bless your majesty to give birth to a prince safely. If you are really worried, you might as well knock yourself out and sleep. Maybe when you wake up, you will hear the news that your majesty and his son are safe."

Sensing that the emperor star was about to be born in the priest's hall, he hurried to the princess's mansion and invited Rong Yu's mother-in-law to come over, otherwise no one in this huge palace could control Rong Yu.

After hearing what Zhan Ruo said, Rong Yu felt relieved. With the blessing of the priest's hall, Xi'er should be fine.

Temporarily suppressing his annoyance with him, he said lightly: "Thank you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhan Ruo sneered, "This prince prayed for my sister, do I need your thanks?"

In the past, he would definitely add "Who do you think you are?", but Nan Xi asked him to speak softly before, so he has been trying to cultivate himself these two days to make himself look more graceful and not so sharp-tongued.

Of course, Rong Yu didn't care whether his words were pleasant to the ear. Now all his thoughts were on Nan Xi, and he didn't care about anything else. The door of the hall was closed and he couldn't see inside. He turned and walked to the window, and couldn't help wanting to listen to the movement inside.

The palace door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Aunt Xu came out, her expression respectful and somewhat complicated: "Regent, the princess asked you to rest first, don't stand here." Rong Yu frowned: "I won't go in and make trouble." "The princess asked you to do business, no need-" "Guarding His Majesty is my business." Rong Yu interrupted her expressionlessly, "How long will it take for the child to be born?" "This..." Aunt Xu's face showed hesitation, "It's hard to say, some women give birth quickly, giving birth in two or three hours, some are slow, maybe it will take two days and one night..." Rong Yu's face changed slightly, and his thin lips pursed tightly. "Don't worry, Regent, His Majesty and the young master will be safe and sound." After Aunt Xu finished speaking, regardless of whether the Regent would do business according to the princess's words, she quickly turned back to the palace and closed the door. She only dared to convey the words of Her Majesty, but did not dare to force the Regent to leave. Rong Yu stood outside the window, silently listening to the noise inside.

The footsteps were chaotic, accompanied by the comforting and talking voices of the midwives, but Nan Xi's voice was not heard.

Rong Yu's heart could not help but hang again.

When Nan Xi cried out in pain, he felt pain too. When Nan Xi endured the pain, he felt distressed.

"It's not like I haven't given birth in my previous life." Zhan Ruo's voice sounded low, so low that only Rong Yu could hear it, "Women have to go through this stage when giving birth. If you really feel sorry for her, you shouldn't let her suffer this."

Rong Yu was slightly stunned.

Previous life?

He actually hadn't thought about his previous life for a long time. Now that he thought about it, he only remembered Dan Shu's weak and pale face after giving birth - that was the first time he saw the noble and cold Queen in such a weak state.

But he didn't have time to accompany her at that time, because several imperial husbands in the harem took advantage of the time when the Queen was about to give birth to plot against him, and even poisoned Dan Shu to frame him.

He used their tricks against them and gave them a fatal blow.

That night, along with the good news that His Majesty had given birth to a prince, the two imperial husbands' sinister plot to poison the empress was exposed, shocking the entire court, and the two imperial husbands who participated in the plan were thrown into death row.

The major families were shocked and angry when they heard about it, and they all clamored for him to produce evidence, otherwise it would be slander.

Poisoning the empress is a serious crime that will punish nine generations of the family.

If the crime is really confirmed, the families of the two imperial husbands will also be annihilated, so the powerful officials of the noble families went directly to the palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty, forcing Rong Huaijin to give evidence, almost forming a posture of forcing the palace.

That night, the imperial guards surrounded the powerful officials of the noble families who came uninvited, and they only needed to give an order, and these ministers would be executed on the spot for the crime of treason.

If it were normal times, Rong Huaijin would definitely not miss such a good opportunity, but it was when Dan Shu was about to give birth, and he didn't want to stain his hands with blood, so the two sides were deadlocked.

Until a baby cried, Dan Shu, who had just given birth to a prince, appeared in the brightly lit place with the careful support of the palace servants, and scanned the chaotic scene with a coercive look: "What are you doing? Are you forcing the emperor to revolt?"

That was the first time Rong Huaijin saw Dan Shu so weak and pale.

Under the bright lights, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and her black hair was wet with sweat. Her voice was weak, but she had the ability to turn the tense scene into a farce full of gunpowder in an instant.

However, if it weren't for the kindness at the beginning, there wouldn't be any later...

"What is the Regent thinking?" Zhan Ruo's mocking voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Rong Yu who was immersed in memories, "Are you thinking about your incompetence back then, only caring about dealing with your love rival, and finally unable to protect your own children, causing Sister to clean up the mess for you again and again?"

Rong Yu said indifferently: "Xi'er is not Dan Shu of the past, and I am not Rong Huaijin of the past."

"You are deceiving yourself." Zhan Ruo said coldly, "You are Rong Huaijin, Rong Huaijin is you, and denial cannot change this fact. As for Your Majesty, it's just that she protected you in the past, and now you protect her. What's the difference?"
