Chu Yan frowned and asked: “Who invited her? What did he say?”

The housekeeper said: “Answering back the emperor, it was Young Master Cheng, who was outside the gate, saying that his wife was having a difficult labor, and wanted to invite the young lady to have a look.”

The eldest son of the Cheng family, Chu Yan, has never met him before. He had only heard of him. He was a man of great love. He has been married for ten years. There were no other wives or concubines in his family. His wife has given birth to four daughters in a row. This was the fifth child.

“Didn’t others say that women who have more children will have an easier time giving birth? Why is she having difficulty giving birth to the fifth child?” Chu Yan was puzzled.

Bai Zhi said: “That’s not the case for everyone. Some people have more smooth births, but some people have more difficult births. It has something to do with the physique of the pregnant woman and also has something to do with the fetus, it can’t be explained clearly in a few words.”

“Are you going?” Chu Yan asked.

Bai Zhi nodded: “Go, human life is at stake. Since people have found this place, they must have no other way, otherwise, they will never go here.” This was Prince Jin’s Mansion, the residence of the current emperor. Everyone in the capital knows the future empress lives here.

Ever since she moved in, no one has come to see her for treatment. It was completely different from when she lived in Dongfang Family Mansion. She was not idle every day.

It should be extremely urgent for that Young Master Cheng to come to the door.

Xiao Qing quickly fetched Bai Zhi’s medicine box. This box used to be heavy, and a lot of elixirs that Bai Zhi refined recently were added to the box. She only put medicine in it but never took medicine from it.

The box naturally became heavier and heavier.

Chu Yan sighed. Originally, he wanted to have a meal, but he didn’t finish the meal, and he was worried. Now he didn’t even have time to unwind, but she was going to see a patient.

Chu Yan thought for a while and said, “I’ll go with you, I have nothing to do in the afternoon.”

“Is this okay? You are the emperor. Women give birth to children. The rules here say that husbands should avoid, it for fear of getting dirty, are you sure you want to go?”

Chu Yan smiled and said: “I don’t believe that, and I don’t care. I finally went out to the palace. I just saw you, you’re asking me to go back? I am not reconciled. I will go wherever you go.”

Bai Zhi smiled lightly: “Okay, don’t regret it.” She expected that Chu Yan had never seen the scene of a woman giving birth, and he would have to see it sooner or later. It’s good to learn from experience now.

In case the day came when he became a father, he would be mentally prepared.

Thinking of the day when he became a father, she felt sore in her heart, and she didn’t know who the woman who will give birth to him would be.

Concealing the bitterness in her eyes, she went back to the house and changed into more neat clothes, and she didn’t even wear a pearl flower on her hair. She looked plain from head to toe, but she was still beautiful and eye-catching.

Chu Yan looked at her unadorned black hair, and said with a smile: “If the flower hairpin I gave you before is still there, would you wear it?”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Yes.” That hairpin was the only jewelry she ever liked. It was a token of love given to her by Hu Feng at that time, but it was lost in the Luoyang Mountains and could never be found again.

Seeing her nodding her head simply and affirmatively, Chu Yan was overjoyed. He wanted to put her in his arms and kiss her fiercely.

Bai Zhi caught sight of the fire in his eyes, and hurriedly turned around and walked out: “Hurry up, they are still waiting for me to save their lives.”

The three of them left the mansion, on the surface, it was three of them, but who knows how many people followed secretly.

Outside the gate of Prince Jin’s Mansion, Bai Zhi saw Young Master Cheng, a young man in his early thirties, with a square face and sharp brows, and anxious eyes. When he saw Bai Zhi coming out, he rushed forward and asked anxiously: “Are you, Miss Bai?”
