The Old Summer Palace, Bimonthly Pavilion.
Ye Zao went into labor on the night of the ninth day of the seventh lunar month.
To be precise, it was already early morning.
When the pain started, she didn't wake up immediately. She only groaned a few times.
Recently, the Fourth Master was preoccupied and worried about her and the child, so he hadn't been sleeping soundly.
When she stirred, the Fourth Master awoke.
Upon waking, he found her clutching her stomach and groaning.
The Fourth Master was shocked, as if his soul had left his body, and after a moment of composure, he called out, "Light the lamp."
After nine months, everyone was on edge. These days, Ah Yuan had Bai Yu serve the Fifth Prince first, but she returned early.
She was concerned about her mistress's condition.
When she heard the Fourth Master call, she quickly brought the lamp over.
