Chapter 164 Thrilling
In Shen Tangan's room, she lay on the bed, feeling waves of severe pain in her abdomen. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, and her face was as pale as paper.
She clenched her teeth tightly, trying to endure the severe pain of impending childbirth.
"Your Majesty..."
Mu Chenye rushed forward and held her hand, his face full of anxiety and worry. Seeing her in so much pain, his heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone and he wished he could bear it for her.
"Don't be afraid, my lady, I will always be by your side."
Mu Chenye's voice was firm and gentle, trying his best to comfort her.
The midwives began to prepare for the delivery in an orderly manner. The room was filled with a tense atmosphere and Shen Tangan's painful groans continued to ring out.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise outside the palace, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.
Mu Chenye's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Protect the princess!"
Mu Chenye shouted loudly, then turned around and prepared to go out to check the situation.
"Your Majesty..."
In pain, Shen Tangan held Mu Chenye's hand tightly, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mu Chenye looked at Shen Tangan with heartache, hesitated for a moment, but decided to go out and deal with the crisis outside first.
He ordered several maids and guards to guard the door of the room to ensure Shen Tangan's safety.
As soon as Mu Chenye walked out of the room, he saw a group of men in black rushing into the palace like ghosts and engaging in a fierce fight with the palace guards.
The flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers flashed in the night, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
Mu Chenye's eyes were cold, he drew the sword from his waist and joined the battle. His sword skills were sharp, and each move was deadly powerful, killing several men in black in an instant.
However, the men in black continued to come in an endless stream, seemingly well prepared.
Gradually, the palace's guards were unable to hold out and the situation became extremely critical.
In the room, Shen Tangan heard the fighting outside and became even more frightened and nervous. The pain in her abdomen became more severe and she felt her strength draining away bit by bit.
"Midwife, I...I can't do it anymore..." Shen Tangan said weakly.
"Princess, hold on, the baby will be out soon!" the midwife encouraged her anxiously.
At this moment, a man in black broke through the guards' defense and rushed to Shen Tangan's room. The guards at the door fought hard, but were still scratched by the man in black.
The man in black kicked the door open and rushed towards Shen Tangan with a knife in hand. Shen Tangan looked at the scene in horror, but was unable to dodge.
At the critical moment, Mu Chenye arrived in time. He kicked the man in black away and then started a fierce fight with him.
The room was small, and Mu Chenye had to protect Shen Tangan while dealing with the attacks of the men in black, which seemed a bit strenuous.
But his eyes were full of determination and resoluteness. He would never let anyone hurt Shen Tangan and their children.
Shen Tangan stood aside, watching Mu Chenye fight desperately with the black-clad man to protect her, her heart was filled with emotion and worry. She endured the pain and prayed silently for Mu Chenye.
After a fierce battle, Mu Chenye finally succeeded in killing the man in black. He panted and turned back to Shen Tangan.
"Madam, are you okay?" Mu Chenye asked anxiously.
Shen Tangan nodded weakly, tears welling up in his eyes. "I'm fine, Your Majesty, you have to be careful."
At this time, the battle outside was gradually coming to an end. Under the leadership of Mu Chenye, the guards of the palace successfully repelled the men in black.
In the room, Shen Tangan's delivery had reached the most critical moment. She used all her strength and let out a cry of pain.
Finally, a clear baby cry broke the silence of the night sky.
The midwife shouted happily, "It's born, it's born! Your Majesty, it's a little prince, mother and child are safe!"
Mu Chenye let out a long sigh. He looked at the tired Shen Tangan and the newborn baby, his eyes filled with joy and emotion.
He gently held Shen Tangan's hand and said, "My wife, you have worked hard. Our child is very healthy."
Shen Tangan smiled weakly, his eyes filled with happiness.
Although this night was full of thrills and crises, they finally welcomed the birth of a new life, and their love became more indestructible after going through hardships.
Mu Chenye gently brushed away the sweat-soaked hair on Shen Tangan's forehead and looked at her and the child tenderly, his heart filled with gratitude and emotion for surviving the disaster.
He told the maids to take good care of Shen Tangan and the young master, then he turned and walked out of the room, ready to deal with the follow-up matters.
The palace was in a mess. The injured guards were bandaged with the help of their companions, and the servants were hurriedly cleaning the battlefield.
Mu Chenye's face was gloomy. He knew very well that the assassination tonight was not accidental. It must have been done deliberately by someone.
"Strengthen the palace's security, thoroughly investigate the origins of tonight's assassins and the mastermind behind them, and don't let any of them go!"
Mu Chenye gave orders to the commander of the guards beside him, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty and anger.
The commander of the guards took the order and left, while Mu Chenye fell into deep thought.
The first person he thought of was the Queen. Ever since they had made contributions in disaster relief in the south, the Queen had been dissatisfied with them and had tried to trip them up many times.
The Queen was a strong suspect in this assassination, but he had no solid evidence and could not act rashly.
At the same time, the palace also received news that the prince had been assassinated.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious.
He immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter and ordered that it must be thoroughly investigated to ensure the safety of the royal family members.
In the following days, Mu Chenye was busy taking care of Shen Tangan and his newborn baby, while closely following the progress of the assassin investigation.
Shen Tangan's body gradually recovered after giving birth, but she was still frightened by the assassination that night.
She knew very well that their situation had become more dangerous, and for the sake of her child and Mu Chenye, she had to be strong.
As the investigation deepened, some clues gradually surfaced.
It turned out that in order to suppress Prince Chen and his wife, the Queen secretly colluded with some forces in the court that were dissatisfied with Prince Chen and planned this assassination.
Not only did they bribe the killer, they also planted an insider in the palace to coordinate the attack from both inside and outside.
After Mu Chenye learned the truth, he was furious. He decided not to hide it anymore and went directly to the palace to meet the emperor with the evidence.
In front of the emperor, Mu Chenye stated in detail the queen's crimes and the harm these crimes had caused to the royal family and the country.
The emperor looked at the evidence in his hand with a serious expression.
He knew very well that what the Queen had done had seriously violated the royal rules and the laws of the country, but considering their years of relationship as husband and wife and the Crown Prince, he was caught in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's actions have threatened the lives of me and my family, and have destroyed the harmony and peace of the royal family. If you don't punish her severely, more people may follow suit in the future, causing the country to fall into chaos."
Mu Chenye knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
The emperor pondered for a long time and finally decided to deprive the queen of her phoenix seal, confine her to the palace, never allow her to leave the palace, and order her to reflect on her mistakes.
At the same time, all those involved in the assassination will be executed!
