Upon hearing the Imperial Physician's words, Princess Consort Shun felt her legs go weak, nearly fainting on the spot.
She murmured to herself,
"How could this be? Xiao Li said my sister and her child were safe."
"Emperor, please do not hesitate any longer. We must prioritize saving the life of Noble Consort Guo's sister."
Noble Princess Consort Xiao felt a surge of joy in her heart.
She had always coveted the position of Empress, and Noble Consort Guo was her most formidable rival. If Noble Consort Guo were to give birth to this child, and it turned out to be a boy, it could threaten her own bid for the position of Empress.
But without this child, a Noble Consort without offspring is not to be feared. With her own son, the throne of the Empress would surely be hers, Noble Princess Consort Xiao felt her grip on it was secure.
In the outer hall, everyone eagerly watched Emperor Yongye.
