As soon as Fourth Master left, Ye Zao became a warrior.
She knew in her heart that Fourth Master was right outside. He wasn't even attending the morning court session, staying by her side instead.
Ye Zao endured the waves of abdominal pain, ridiculing herself for being overly sentimental.
She didn't want to love Fourth Master, yet she still needed him to stay with her like this.
But after all, she was carrying a child of their Aisin Gioro clan. It was only right for him to keep watch, wasn't it?
"Noble Lady?" Sister Jiang called out upon seeing Ye Zao just frowning.
"It's nothing. I feel like it's not time yet," Ye Zao said.
Sister Midwife quickly said, "Indeed it's not yet time, but it will be soon. Noble Lady, please get ready."
That was the signal for her to disrobe and get on the birthing bed.
Ye Zao had changed her clothes and was on the platform when she saw a Sister Midwife bringing over a piece of cork to stuff into her mouth.
