Madame Jiang and Zuo Xiangyu were shivering as they stood in the corridor, listening to Zuo Xiangyun's piercing screams, which came one after another from inside the room.
Footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard as King Qi and Princess Consort Qi, accompanied by maids and old women, came in a formidable procession.
"How is the child?" Princess Consort Qi, Lu Wanying, anxiously asked the bowing Imperial Physician beside her.
"The child is only seven months along, not yet full-term, giving birth now, I'm afraid..." The Imperial Physician didn't finish his sentence when he knelt at King Qi's feet, saying, "Your Highness, it would be best to summon Imperial Physician Liu, who specializes in treating pregnant women and infants..."
"Summon Imperial Physician Liu at once!" King Qi ordered coldly.
"Third Miss and Fourth Miss, you were with Aunt Zuo at the time, do you know if anything happened?" Princess Consort Qi asked Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Xiangyu coldly.
