Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Chapter 319 The Queen Gives Birth to a Daughter

"Those three women who had just given birth were the wet nurses that the Su family carefully found for the little prince." Nanny Huang explained in a panic, her voice trembling slightly and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

However, the Queen Mother was not someone who could be easily fooled.

There was a loud "bang" and the Queen Mother slammed her palm on the table with such force that the delicate teacups on the table shook violently and one of them almost fell to the ground.

"Hmph, you are so bold that you actually dare to deceive me so blatantly! How could a woman who just gave birth have enough milk? This is simply nonsense! Jian Xin, slap her hard in the face!" The Queen Mother shouted with her eyes wide open and a frosty face.

Before the Queen Mother finished her words, Nanny Jian, who was standing nearby, stepped forward without hesitation, raised her broad hand, and mercilessly slapped Nanny Huang's face.

The slap was so powerful that it made Madam Huang dizzy and even knocked out one of her teeth.

Nanny Huang was caught off guard and hit hard. She staggered back a few steps, then covered her swollen and bleeding cheeks with her hands, groaning in pain.

But she didn't seem to give in. She endured the pain and spat out the bloody tooth from her mouth. She still said unwillingly: "I am the Queen's wet nurse, and I am considered an old man with rich experience in Prime Minister Su's residence. Even if the Queen meets me, she will at least give me some face."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression grew even darker and darker. She stared coldly at Nanny Huang and said in a chilling voice, "It seems she's been a slave for too long and has completely forgotten her true identity! Jian Xin, don't stop! Keep slapping her until she confesses!"

Nanny Jane slapped Nanny Huang's cheek with all her might, over and over again, without mercy, so much so that her wrist quickly swelled up. But even so, Nanny Huang kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing.

At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly came: "The Queen has given birth!"

Upon hearing the sound, Emperor Jing, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up and raised his legs to rush out the door.

However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly heard the Queen Mother's soft cough.

Emperor Jing paused, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly sat down.

Then, he turned to look at Dequan beside him and said in a deep voice, "Dequan, go and bring the child here."

Dequan took the order and hurried out of the room.

Not long after, he was seen returning to the house quickly with a baby wrapped tightly in a quilt in his arms.

The brocade quilt was soft and smooth. Upon closer inspection, it was made of Xiangyunsha, and was exactly the same as the brocade quilt that wrapped the child in the arms of the woman outside the Yiku Palace.

Emperor Jing's gaze fell on the brocade quilt, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little princess." Dequan said with a smile on his face and bowed.

The Queen Mother raised her eyes upon hearing this, held out her hands and said, "Hurry and bring it here for me to see."

Dequan carefully brought the child to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took a closer look, a look of delight on her face. Turning to Emperor Jing, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, come and see! This child's features are exactly like yours as a child. Ever since we arrived at the Yikun Palace, I have arranged for my trusted aides, along with yours, to enter the Queen's chambers to care for her. Now that the Queen has successfully given birth to the Dragon Child, she immediately brought the child out. No matter how bold those with ulterior motives are, they won't be able to tamper with the child during this period, or try to play tricks like replacing the Crown Prince with a cat."

But Emperor Jing never cast even a glance towards the empress dowager from beginning to end.

Finally, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but speak up and continued, "Emperor, no matter what the Empress wants to do, this is your own flesh and blood after all. The child is innocent. How can you let him be implicated because of the grudges between adults?"

However, Emperor Jing only snorted coldly, his face filled with anger as he said, "She actually thought of such a ridiculous thing as switching children. God knows whose bastard this is!"

Emperor Jing had always been extremely suspicious. Just like when the eldest prince colluded with Wen Zhiyong to start a rebellion, he not only severely punished those who were directly involved, but also listed the Zhou family and King Hao, who held a large number of troops, as suspects.

Now that the queen was trying to replace the child, he couldn't help but have deep doubts about the origin of the fetus in her womb.

After saying this, Emperor Jing glanced at the child sideways, then ordered expressionlessly, "Go, bring the queen to me immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanny Huang, who was tied up with her hands and feet bound and her mouth blocked, shook her head desperately, making indistinct whimpering sounds, as if she wanted to express something.

Dequan also looked embarrassed and hesitated to move.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Jing was immediately furious and raised his voice in anger, "What? Can it be that I can't even use you now?"

Dequan was terrified and quickly turned to look at the Queen Mother, his eyes full of help.

The Queen Mother sighed softly and said slowly, "The Queen has just gone through the pain of childbirth and is very weak. How could she possibly get out of bed at this critical moment? You are deliberately making things difficult for Dequan by doing this!"

However, Emperor Jingdi seemed to have not heard the Queen Mother's advice at all and was not moved at all.

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily, "If she can't get out of bed, send someone to bring her here!"

The sudden roar was deafening, and even the child in the Queen Mother's arms was frightened and burst into tears.

Emperor Jing glanced at the child with disgust, as if the crying made him extremely irritated.

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly, gently handed the child back to Dequan, and said softly, "Take this child away first."

After a brief pause, she continued, "Then go and bring the queen over."

Xiao Yuanyi, who was standing nearby, saw the child crying so miserably, and a look of pity appeared on his face. "My royal sister is crying so pitifully, she must be starving. But the wet nurse that the Su family has prepared for my royal sister hasn't given birth yet. Are we really going to let my royal sister starve like this forever?"

When Emperor Jing heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over and clenched his fingers tightly, making a series of crackling sounds.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Go and call Prime Minister Su to come to me!"
