Children of Loulan

Chapter 321 The Birth of the Little Prince 2

However, the king's joy did not stop there. He immediately asked the nanny about the situation of another woman, Madam He, who was giving birth: "How is Madam He now?"

The nanny bowed slightly and replied, "Reporting to the king, since Madam He is a first-time mother, the delivery will naturally be a little slow. In my opinion, I am afraid we need to wait for a few more hours before the delivery is smooth."

The king thought for a moment, then nodded and solemnly ordered: "Make sure that you and your wife, mother and child are safe and sound, and there must not be any mistakes!"

The nanny replied respectfully, "Yes!" Then she turned around and hurried into the delivery room.

At this time, the little prince that Dalan had finally given birth to after much hardship had been cleaned and wrapped tightly in soft swaddling clothes. The nanny carefully picked up the child, walked to Dalan, took a look at her, and then lowered her voice and said softly: "Madam, you have worked hard, and you must be exhausted now. I will ask the queen to arrange a more comfortable resting place for you so that you can sleep peacefully. As for the little prince, I will take him to the king first!"

At this moment, Dalan was indeed exhausted, as if all her strength had been consumed in the delivery process. She even had difficulty speaking, and could only nod her head slightly to indicate her agreement. Seeing this, the nanny felt pity in her heart, and she walked out of the delivery room slowly, holding the child in her arms.

Soon, the nanny came to the king. The king happily took the child from the nanny, staring at the delicate and adorable little baby in his arms, his face filled with unconcealed joy. He asked excitedly, "How is Madam Lan now? Is she in serious trouble?"

The nanny bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, Madam Lan had a very hard time giving birth. She is now extremely exhausted and urgently needs to rest. However... Madam and I are still in the delivery room continuing the delivery."

Hearing this, the queen quickly stepped forward and said to the king with a smile: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I have already packed up the side hall over there, and Madam Lan can go there to rest in peace. As for Madam He, I will wait here and take care of her with all my heart."

The king stared closely at the newborn baby in his arms, which was as cute as a newly-bloomed flower, his eyes full of love and joy. He gently stroked the baby's delicate face and murmured to himself, "This little guy is so adorable!"

Then he looked up at the queen beside him and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation, and walked towards the side hall carefully carrying the child in his arms, his steps steady and quick.

Soon, Dalan was wrapped tightly in thick blankets by the palace maids, like a precious treasure, and was safely carried to the side hall. The king hurried forward and saw Dalan lying on the bed, pale but still beautiful, and couldn't help but feel pity for her. He walked quickly to the bedside and sat down, stretched out his hand and gently held Dalan's hand, and said affectionately: "Lan'er, you have worked hard."

Dalan shook his head slightly, forced a smile, and said in a voice as light as a mosquito: "Your Majesty, your wife is still giving birth in the delivery room. Don't you want to go see her?" Although he was extremely weak, Dalan was still thinking about the other wife who was about to give birth.

The king gently patted the back of Dalan's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, the queen will be there to take care of it, nothing will happen."

As he spoke, he carefully placed the child in his arms next to Dalan, letting the new life be close to its mother. Then, the king looked at Dalan tenderly and said softly: "Lan'er, you have experienced so much suffering, it is really not easy. Now take a good rest, I will stay here to guard you and your child." After speaking, he sat quietly by the bed, guarding Dalan and the child, and the room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

At this moment, a tense atmosphere permeated the Xinwang Mansion. Ah Cheng hurriedly pushed open the heavy door and ran forward as fast as the wind. He came to the imposing man in front of him, bowed respectfully, and then said anxiously: "Your Highness, Madam He is still in labor. The midwife told me that since this is Madam He's first birth, the labor process may be relatively slow. In addition, the Queen has been waiting outside Madam He's delivery room!"

After hearing this, Aidil felt a little relieved, but his brows were still furrowed, and his eyes revealed concern and worry. He nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this matter, and then ordered: "Well, very good. Ah Cheng, you quickly go to the palace gate and guard it. If there is any latest news about the birth of the wife and me, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible!"

Asumi responded without hesitation, "Yes!" Then he turned and left quickly like a gust of wind, leaving only a hurried back.

Aidil slowly turned around and walked towards the window. He stared at the white snow outside the window, as if the whole world was covered by this whiteness. The snowflakes fluttered down like elves dancing in the air. However, at this moment, Aidil's mind was not on this beautiful snow scene at all.

He gently raised his hand, placed it on his lips, and murmured to himself: "Alin, you must give birth to our child safely. No matter what happens, I hope you will be safe and sound..." His voice was low and gentle, full of deep concern and love for Xilin.

However, Xilin was in the delivery room of the palace at this time. Her delicate body was already soaked in sweat, and her wet clothes were clinging to her skin. The severe pain in her lower abdomen from time to time was like a sharp knife, stabbing her body mercilessly again and again.

Every time the pain came, Xilin felt as if all the bones in her body were breaking instantly, and the excruciating pain almost made her want to faint. But every time the pain came, she was sober. Originally, she and Dalan entered the delivery room together to wait for the birth, but time passed by little by little, Dalan had already successfully given birth to a baby for a long time, but she still failed to give birth successfully.

During this long and agonizing wait, Xilin had no idea how much time had passed. Only the increasingly intense pain continued to torture her body and mind, causing her to gradually fall into deep despair. Finally, she used up all her strength and shouted with difficulty: "Aunt Kui..."

Hearing Xilin's call, Aunt Kui hurried to the bedside. She gently picked up a clean towel and wiped the beads of sweat on Xilin's forehead. At the same time, she whispered to comfort her: "Madam, how do you feel? Do you want to drink some water to moisten your throat first?"

Xilin tightly grasped Aunt Kui's hand and said with a painful look on her face: "It's been so long, why can't I give birth!" As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
