Chapter 424 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 46

"Ah?" Ruoxi came back to her senses and saw Yu Tan looking at her with a smile.

"No, it's nothing."

"Is there something on my face?" Yu Tan touched his face.

"No, no." Ruoxi waved her hands quickly.

"I was just thinking that the emperor is so kind to you, the baby in your belly will definitely be a blessed one in the future."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Yu Tan gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of love: "I just hope he can be born safely and healthily, then I will be satisfied."

Ruoxi looked at Yu Tan's maternal radiance and became even more confused. Such a gentle and kind woman didn't look like someone who would do anything outrageous.

Thinking of this, Ruoxi couldn't help but shudder. Kangxi had many children, and the struggle between the princes for the throne was extremely cruel. If there was anything special about the child in Yutan's belly, it would be hard to guarantee that she would not become the target of public criticism.

Will the baby in Yutan's belly be a victim of this silent war?

As the days passed, Yutan's belly grew bigger and bigger, but Kangxi's love for her did not diminish at all, but became more and more meticulous.

He ordered people to find the best embroiderer from Jiangnan to sew various exquisite maternity clothes for Yutan; he also ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare various nutritious meals for Yutan in different ways. He personally asked about Yutan's diet and daily life every day, fearing that she would have the slightest discomfort.

In the harem, those concubines who once treated Yutan coldly have now changed their attitudes. Each of them seems to have changed their faces, and they are caring and concerned about Yutan.

After all, in their opinion, Yutan is now pregnant with the emperor's favorite child. Both mother and child are the apple of everyone's eye. Who would dare to offend them easily?

However, the calmer the situation, the more uneasy Ruoxi felt. She knew that there was never true peace in the harem, and all the undercurrents were hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface.

Ruoxi fiddled with the tea leaves in the cup nonchalantly, but her mind was not on this at all. The figure of the Eighth Master Yinsi appeared in her mind from time to time, gentle as jade and elegant.

When we were at the Eighth Master's house, he expressed his feelings to me.

But since she occupied Ruoxi's body, the Eighth Master was her brother-in-law, and she didn't want to have too much entanglement with him.

But she is human and has feelings.

Just ask yourself, after the Qing Dynasty, she regarded herself as Maertai Ruoxi.

But the only person who really treats her well, besides her sister, is Master Ba...

Ruoxi fell hopelessly in love with Yinsi.

This love is like a vine in spring, which has quietly and unconsciously filled her heart.

At first, she just felt gratitude, gratitude for his care for her, gratitude for his always being by her side when she was confused and helpless. But gradually, this gratitude changed.

His every frown and smile were deeply imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.

She began to crave his tenderness, his thoughtfulness, and every word of his concern was like a dose of honey, making her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.

She knew that this kind of relationship was taboo, immoral, and something she should never have. But she couldn't control her heart. The more she tried to suppress it, the more it rebounded.

At night, she often hid in her bed and thought of him secretly. She thought of his gentle jade-like eyebrows, his deep and magnetic voice, the warmth when he held her hand, and the promise he made to her.

Ruoxi's heart was in a tangled mess, unable to be cut or sorted out...

On the other side, Yu Tan felt a sharp pain, her face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She tightly grasped the quilt under her, her knuckles turned white, and painful groans escaped from her mouth.

"Your Majesty, please bear with it for a while, the midwife will be here soon!" the personal maid said anxiously, wiping the sweat off Yu Tan with a handkerchief.

When Kangxi heard the news, he immediately put down the memorial in his hand and hurried over.

Seeing Yu Tan's painful look, his heart tightened, he held her hand, and comforted her softly: "Tan Er, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Yu Tan forced herself to open her eyes. Seeing Kangxi's anxious expression, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled weakly: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, but..."

Before he could finish his words, another sharp pain came and Yu Tan couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The midwife came in a hurry, and after checking, she said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the queen is about to give birth. Please go out and wait. I will leave this to this old servant."

Although Kangxi was worried, he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay in the room at this moment. He looked at Yutan deeply and said softly, "Yutan, you can give birth with peace of mind. I will wait for you outside."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, pacing anxiously outside the door.

As time went by, Yutan's moans became louder and louder, and Kangxi's heart rose to his throat. He wanted to rush in and bear the pain for Yutan...

As night falls, the Forbidden City is shrouded in silence.

However, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, with people coming and going, in a state of panic. Outside Yu Tan's bedroom, Kangxi paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally looking inside, with a look of deep worry covering his brows.

"Your Majesty, you have been standing here for two hours. You should go to the side hall and rest for a while. The Royal Concubine is blessed by heaven and will be safe." Li Dequan consoled softly, his tone full of worry.

The servants all saw how much Kangxi doted on Yutan. Now that Yutan was about to give birth, the emperor was as nervous as an ordinary husband.

Kangxi seemed not to have heard his words. He continued to pace restlessly, muttering to himself, "Why hasn't the baby been born yet? It's been so long, why hasn't the baby been born yet..."

In the bedroom, midwives and palace maids came in and out, carrying basins of blood. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Yu Tan lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from groaning in pain, but her hands were tightly grasping the sheets under her, her knuckles white, showing how much pain she was in.

Kangxi's mind kept flashing back to the scene of Hesheli's difficult childbirth. The blood dyed the dragon bed red. Her pale face was filled with pain and despair. She used up her last bit of strength to give birth to Yinreng, but she left him forever.

He swore that he would never experience that kind of heart-wrenching pain again in his life.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
