The next day, at the crack of dawn, Princess Chang Le ignored her aching body, grabbed Shen Longjin, and rushed frantically to the Duke Dingguo Mansion.
To their surprise, just as they arrived at Qingyun Residence, they heard a loud, wailing cry.
"The baby's here! The baby's here!" someone shouted.
Princess Chang Le was both shocked and overjoyed.
A moment later, the midwife emerged holding the baby to announce the good news. "It's a beautiful baby girl. Mother and daughter are both safe and sound."
The words "mother and daughter are safe" reached her ears, and the knot of tension in Princess Chang Le's heart finally loosened.
Her legs gave out from under her, and she nearly collapsed. Shen Longjin had to catch her, half-holding her in his arms to keep her from falling.
"You can finally relax now, Your Highness," Shen Longjin whispered in her ear.
Just as Princess Chang Le was about to nod, she suddenly heard someone shout, "Someone, help! The Princely Heir has fainted!"
