The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Upon learning of Qi Yitang's delivery, Qi Jiyun began rummaging through the house.

Finally, he came out of the room carrying a bulging bundle on his back, and no one knew what was inside.

In the main hall, Qi Shubai saw this and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"Enter the palace."

Qi Wenyuan and Ning Wanrong were surprised. "Tang'er summoned you?"

Qi Jiyun: "No."

"Since there was no summons, how can you be so sure?" Although Qi Shubai was also worried about his sister, he still knew his limits.

"What kind of behavior is it for a man of questionable character like you to be present during the Queen's childbirth?"

"Third brother, you don't understand. It's precisely at times like these that you need your older brother's company even more."

Ji Yun said matter-of-factly, "Besides, the bond between me and that little silly deer has transcended gender. If necessary, I can be her older sister too."

Qi Shubai was speechless at his twisted logic and said helplessly, "His Majesty will not agree."

At most, they'll summon his mother.

No sooner had the words been spoken than an imperial edict arrived, summoning Lady Qi and her fourth son, Qi Jiyun, to enter the palace immediately.

Qi Shubai: "..."

Qi Jiyun seemed to have expected this, winking and saying, "Father, Third Brother, see you later. I'll tell you how well-behaved my nephew and niece are when I get back."

Watching Qi Jiyun's triumphant departure, Qi Shubai's expression darkened slightly.

Even though he knew his younger sister was petty and held grudges, he never expected her to remember it for so long.

He apologized afterwards, and he accepted all the gifts she brought when she returned home last year...

The fact that she did not attend the wedding but sent valuable gifts was a gesture of goodwill from the Empress to her maternal relatives.

It wasn't the younger sister's way of addressing the older brother.

……

"What? My sister is going into labor?"

When the palace staff arrived, Song Yunzhi was pounding medicine in the clinic. Upon hearing the news, she almost knocked the mortar and pestle to the ground.

Although I had known from the system that Qi Yitang was about to give birth, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She doesn't have enough points!

There was a pain-blocking item in the system shop that was similar to anesthesia, which Song Yunzhi had been thinking about.

I plan to save up and exchange it when Qi Yitang gives birth, so that she can have a painless delivery.

Before she transmigrated, Song Yunzhi didn't really like reading "strategy guide" novels because they were mostly about the female lead being devoted to the male lead, which made her feel like she was helping someone in need.

She was willing to be good to Qi Yitang.

After all, the little angel bestowed upon her the title of county princess and rewarded her with gold and silver. She was always smiling whenever they met. Who could refuse that?

But the system is too stingy, and the items in the store are expensive; her points were wiped out last time.

Fortunately, system points can be obtained not only from the target you are pursuing, but also from other people.

Before she started working on her mission, she ran a clinic, partly to treat patients and partly to accumulate some spare points.

Although affection points aren't as valuable as the person you're pursuing, every little bit counts.

The problem is—she hasn't accumulated enough points yet!

When Song Yunzhi rushed to Yaotang Palace, Qi Yitang's water had already broken.

This is my first time giving birth, and it's with twins. It's been so difficult, and I'm only three centimeters dilated.

Although she had planned to be strong and not cry before it started, Qi Yitang couldn't take it anymore even before it actually began.

I felt waves of pain, like something was drilling inside my stomach, spreading from my abdomen to my groin.

"Yanzhi, it hurts so much..."

The fear of pain is one thing, but what's truly devastating is not knowing how long the pain will last.

Even with Xie Ling's strategic brilliance, he felt utterly useless at this moment, unable to help in any way. "Tangtang, don't bite yourself. If it really hurts too much, bite me."

The midwives standing nearby were trembling with fear, but they also gained an eye-opening experience.

It's rare for a husband from an ordinary wealthy family to be present during childbirth, let alone a monarch.

I've probably used up all the knowledge I've gained in this lifetime tonight.

Looking at the slender fingers brought to her mouth, Qi Yitang turned her head away, refusing to bite. She whimpered in pain and could only bite the corner of the blanket.

Xie Ling felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. He gently wiped away her sweat and said in a hoarse voice, "Just give birth to this once, never again..."

In her delirium from the pain, Qi Yitang even considered just passing out.

It would be even better if I woke up to find the child had come out on their own.

Xie Ling also wished he could just pull the child out. He reached out and touched the child, his face darkening.

Only four fingers are open.

From four fingers to ten fingers, I don't know how long it will take.

Seeing that Qi Yitang was already delirious from the pain, Xie Ling had no choice but to coax her softly, "Tangtang, it's almost over, just hang in there a little longer, your husband has already touched the baby's head."

"Really?" Qi Yitang opened her tearful eyes.

Xie Ling remained expressionless. "Really."

Qi Yitang finally saw a glimmer of hope.

She secretly vowed that if her children were unfilial in the future, she would release them back into the wild and abandon them far away, after suffering so much.

To avoid getting angry all the time and needlessly shortening one's lifespan.

Physician Kou and Physician Fang knelt outside the delivery room for several hours, their legs going numb, but they dared not get up, fearing that even the slightest bad news might come from inside.

It was completely dark when the lanterns under the eaves lit up one by one.

Xie Changqing paced anxiously, "So much time has passed, why hasn't she given birth yet?"

The Empress Dowager was already ill, and given her advanced age, she only regained her strength after drinking ginseng soup. "Your sister-in-law is having her first child, it's still early. It's not uncommon for many women to give birth for several days and nights."

Several days and nights?

That's terrifying!

Ning Wanrong longed to go in and be with her daughter, but she was turned away after only one visit. Her son-in-law, the emperor, guarded the door tightly, not even allowing a fly to get in, so she could only wait outside.

Qi Jiyun prayed silently under the eaves.

Please be safe and sound, the child must be well, and the younger sister must be safe and sound.

The cries of pain from the delivery room came out intermittently, sometimes high and sometimes low, like a string that was repeatedly stretched and loosened, making everyone's heart hang in mid-air.

At this moment, a palace maid led Song Yunzhi in hurriedly from outside and whispered a few words to Li Degui.

Li Degui went in to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Ninghe requests an audience."

Xie Ling didn't even turn her head. "Tell her to get lost."

Qi Yitang opened her eyes groggily, "Don't... let her in..."

The little fox must have her reasons for coming at this time.

After Li Degui left, Song Yunzhi entered and quickly walked to the bedside. "Greetings, Your Majesty. Sister, I've arrived."

The room was filled with the stench of blood. Qi Yitang's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat kept appearing even after she wiped them away.

Before transmigrating, Song Yunzhi had never even had a boyfriend, let alone witnessed a woman giving birth for the first time. The strong metallic smell made her scalp tingle.

Fortunately, she is a staunch advocate of remaining single and will never get married, so she doesn't have to suffer this kind of hardship.

The contractions came in waves. Qi Yitang had just endured a wave of intense pain and was now breathing slightly easier. She looked at Song Yunzhi.

"Yunzhi, do you... have something to give me?"

Song Yunzhi nodded.

At this point, she couldn't care less about overstepping her bounds; she directly ordered the serving nannies and maids to retreat outside the cubicle.

The crowd exchanged glances, and seeing that the emperor did not object, they obediently withdrew.

Song Yunzhi lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to share my sister's pain?"
