While the storm was brewing in the Lower Three Heavens, an earth-shattering event had also happened in the Lower Three Heavens!
The Iron Cloud Empire had finally unified the world and dominated the Lower Three Heavens!
Even the grassland wolves of the Northern Frontier had surrendered!
The Lower Three Heavens had become the territory of the Iron Cloud Empire!
Tie Butian had finally ruled the world. All the land under the heavens belonged to the Emperor; all the people on the land were the Emperor's subjects!
While the whole nation was celebrating, the Emperor had only sent Tie Long Cheng as a representative to celebrate with the world.
And he himself had not come out from the palace. The Empress Wu Qianqian was about to give birth. The Emperor could not leave.
After this news was spread, the whole nation rejoiced. Not only did no one say anything, but everyone had always thought that the Emperor was loyal and righteous, and was a rare good man in the world! For Iron Cloud Empire to have such a monarch was the fortune of the world and the fortune of all its citizens!
Some people also noticed that although the Prince of the Iron Dragon Realm was celebrating with the officials, his eyes often looked in the direction of the palace involuntarily. There was a trace of anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. It seemed that he could not wait to leave this place and return to the palace …
In the palace, Lan Meixian was anxiously guarding outside the delivery room. She kept pacing back and forth, her face full of anxiety and heartache.
Moaning sounds came from the delivery room, as if it was forcibly suppressing …
On one side, sat a handsome couple. The man was gentle and elegant, while the woman was graceful and luxurious. They looked like a couple of immortals.
Lan Meixian kept sighing and pacing back and forth. Finally, she said, "Ruolan, are the midwives you brought from the Upper Three Heavens useful? Fei Ling, I don't want to criticize you, but what good midwives do you have in the Chu Clan? Didn't I tell you to go to the Lan Clan to find Granny Cui? You didn't listen. Now your Chu Clan has sent five midwives, but why haven't they come out after half a day? What are these midwives doing? "
This couple was Yang Ruolan and Chu Fei Ling.
It turned out that Lan Meixian was still worried about the midwives in the palace. She was also worried that the secret would be leaked. Lan Meixian immediately sent a message to Yang Ruo Lan. Then, Yang Ruo Lan and Chu Feiling personally brought the midwives down …
Yang Ruo Lan smiled and said, "Master, you don't have to worry. The people I've brought along are all experienced and powerful. Besides, I've already checked. Junior Sister's fetus is in the right position. So, there won't be any accidents."
She found it a little funny. The midwife of the Lan family … was of course good, but if her master didn't go, how could she and her husband invite her?
That was the Lan Family.
"But, why is it taking so long?" Lan Mei Xian was extremely anxious.
"Master, there's something you don't know …" Yang Ruo Lan found it hard to say, "… It's not that easy for a woman to give birth to a child. When I gave birth to … my child, I also spent a full day and night in extreme pain …"
Speaking up to here, he couldn't help but feel dejected. Thinking about her missing child, she was overcome with grief and her eyes turned red.
Chu Feiling hurriedly comforted him.
Chu Fei Ling was a little restless. He wouldn't have come this time if he wasn't worried that his beloved wife would have an accident when she went out alone. How could his wife's junior sister give birth to a child while he, the senior brother-in-law, sits outside and waits?
"That damned King of Hell Chu," Lan Mei Xian said angrily, "He stirred up trouble and left just like that! That bastard! How much grievance and pain has Tian Tian suffered because of him? Now, his child is about to be born at such an important time. But, he's nowhere to be seen! "
She heavily stomped her foot, "This is really infuriating!"
Yang Ruo Lan smiled bitterly and thought, [That person doesn't know anything. How can he appear here?]
The moaning sound inside suddenly became louder. Then, the voice of the midwife was heard, "Endure it … Don't exert yourself now. You have to accumulate your strength. Otherwise, you won't have any strength when the child is born. That won't be good for the child …"
'Won't be good for the child' … This sentence seemed to have infinite power. Tie Bu Tian's voice immediately became softer. She could only be heard taking deep breaths to accumulate her strength …
"My poor disciple," Lan Mei Xian sat down on a chair, and covered her face with her hands. She couldn't help but shed tears, "I don't know what your senior owes that man … She's sacrificing so much for him …"
She sat for a while. Then, she stood up again. She sat down again, and stood up again. Finally, she walked to the front of the portrait of the empress, and knelt down piously, "Mother, I, Lan Mei Xian, have never believed in ghosts or gods. But, I believe in you now … I'm willing to worship the empress for a lifetime as long as you can help Tian Tian give birth to a child … May I be struck by lightning if I violate this oath.
Yang Ruo Lan's eyes were somewhat moist.
Her master, Lan Mei Xian, had always been strong and stubborn. She had never married. She had always been proud and aloof. She had never respected the heavens or feared ghosts or gods! But, she was now praying so piously for her disciple. It could be seen that her heart was in chaos.
On the other side, Wu Qian Qian had already knelt in front of the portrait of the empress. She didn't know how long she had been kneeling for. But, she was praying in her heart, [You must, you must, give birth to a healthy child. Mother will be safe …]
The moaning sound inside the room suddenly became louder again. It seemed as if it couldn't suppress the pain.
Lan Mei Xian banged her head on the ground. She was in extreme pain and heartache. She suddenly turned her head, and said, [Ruo Lan, NP … Can't she use her vital energy to give birth to a child? It's so painful … Tian Tian … How can she bear it?]
Yang Ruo Lan revealed an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Master, you don't know. Even a Supreme Expert has to pass through this hurdle when giving birth to a child. This has nothing to do with vital energy. She'll be no different from an ordinary woman at this moment no matter how great her cultivation is."
"Sigh," Lan Mei Xian turned her head in disappointment. She kowtowed on the ground, and prayed piously.
"Bear with it a little longer … Bear with it a little longer … It'll be done soon. It'll be done soon …" The midwife's gentle voice was comforting her. Her voice seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts …
Tie Bu Tian was moaning in pain in the inner room. Her complexion was deathly pale. Then, it turned red after a while. Her hands were tightly grasping the edge of the bed. Blood was seeping out from her fingernails.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine. It's just that this is your first time giving birth to a child … Um, the child is very healthy. It's up to you now. You must hold on …" The midwife kept comforting her.
Tie Bu Tian nodded weakly. Her eyes emitted a resolute look. She said in a low voice, "My child will be born safely …"
Finally …
The outside couldn't bear it any longer …
"Good … Harder … Harder … Yes! It's coming out … It's coming out … The child is coming out … "
"Wah, NP ~ A loud and clear cry of a baby was heard. It seemed as if a wisp of golden sunlight had pierced through the dark clouds in the sky.
Tie Bu Tian finally relaxed after hearing this heavenly cry. She exposed a happy and relieved smile at the corners of her mouth. Then, she fainted from exhaustion …
My child … My child with him … has been born!
Everyone's body shook as this cry spread. They exposed an ecstatic look on their faces.
"How's the child? How's the Lord? "Lan Mei Xian hastily asked in a loud voice.
"Very good! Both are very good! One is fat and one is small. Mother is safe. "
Even experts like Lan Mei Xian, Chu Fei Ling, and Yang Ruo Lan felt a sense of exhaustion when these four words' mother is safe 'were heard. It seemed as if all the strength in their bodies had been consumed in this silent cry.
But, their hearts had finally settled down.
[God bless!]
Lan Mei Xian knelt down in front of the Empress' portrait in ecstasy. She kowtowed as if she was pounding garlic, "Thank you, Empress. Thank you for being so good … From now on, Lan Mei Xian will worship you day and night. I will burn incense all year round. Thank you, Empress, for making my sweet mother safe …"
Chu Fei Ling and Yang Ruo Lan looked at each other. They both saw that the rims of each other's eyes were red.
Lan Mei Xian calmed down after a long time. She stood up, picked up the teacup, and drank a mouthful of tea. She wiped her tears, and said with an embarrassed smile, "You two little girls … You've angered me to death. But, you've also worried me to death … I'd rather bleed than cry. I've only cried twice in my life … And, it's all because of you two disappointing little girls …"
She wiped her tears again. Then, she said in a somewhat angry tone, "The first time was when you gave birth. I stayed on the roof of your Chu Clan for a night. And, I shed tears for you the whole night. The second time was because of this infuriating little girl … You ruined my child, and didn't even let me know about it. You only knew how to bear it by yourself … Alas …"
"Master …" Yang Ruo Lan's face was streaked with tears.
Wu Qian Qian had been dumbstruck when she had heard the cry of the baby. Then, she seemed to have woken up from a dream. She frantically kowtowed to the statue a few times. Then, she jumped up, and ran towards the delivery room.
"Don't go in," Yang Ruo Lan quickly grabbed her, "You can't go in now."
"Why?"
"This … you can't go in because you can't go in," Lan Mei Xian reprimanded her with a smile, "The baby will be carried out in a while. Why are you in such a hurry? How can you casually barge into this delivery room? You're such an ignorant little girl. "
"Uh …" Wu Qian Qian's face turned red. She was somewhat embarrassed.
The sound of water splashing could be heard inside. It seemed as if someone was bathing the baby.
A gentle sound of footsteps was heard after a while. Then, a benevolent-looking midwife came out with a small swaddle in her arms. She smiled as she walked, "It's very strange. I've delivered so many babies. Most of them have their eyes closed when they're born. But, this little guy is different. His two black eyes are wide open, and they're rolling around. I don't know what he can see …"
Another midwife behind her said with a smile, "He's so young. He won't be able to see anything even if his eyes are open. He'll need at least a day to open his seven orifices. Then, he'll be able to see something."
"That's why it's so strange."
"Really?" Everyone scrambled to surround the baby. They cautiously moved closer to take a look. They saw a dense crowd of heads above the swaddle.
