Inside the birthing room, Gu Lingyue's agonized screams echoed relentlessly.
QingWu frowned slightly. Hong Rui and Lü Qiao immediately stepped forward to block the fleeing women.
"The Seventh Queen is about to give birth! Why are you running instead of staying by her side to assist?"
The two midwives dropped to their knees with a thud, trembling in fear. "A demon! The Seventh Queen is giving birth to a demon!"
"I swear on my own eyes! Her belly was flat just moments ago, and then suddenly, it swelled up as if it were inflated. If that's not a demon, what is it?!"
The midwives were terrified, and the maidservants behind them nodded frantically in agreement.
Gu Lingyue's harrowing screams tore through the air again, causing the group to shudder uncontrollably.
