Long Yang blanked out when he heard those words and did not react for quite a while.

Meanwhile, a look of delight appeared on all the officials’ faces when they heard the palace maid’s announcement. When they saw His Majesty not reacting at all, one of the officials thought he must not have heard the palace maid. He quickly said, “Your Majesty, Her Highness is about to give birth.”

Long Yang turned around slowly to stare at him. “What did you say?”

When the official saw Long Yang’s reaction, the first thought that came to his mind was, ‘Oh no, did His Majesty lose his mind out of joy? What should we do?’

He began to speak with additional care, “I was informing you that Her Highness is about to give birth.”

Long Yang nodded and replied with a grunt.

It was quite a normal reaction.

When the officials saw him acting this way, everyone assumed that His Majesty was already tired of the Empress, which was why he reacted so nonchalantly when he heard that the Empress was about to give birth.

“Zhao Qian, help me to Grand Phoenix Palace.”

Just as the officials were trying to decipher His Majesty’s reaction, they suddenly heard a tremor in the Emperor’s voice.

They looked at each other when they saw His Majesty’s behavior.

His Majesty had always been dignified and decisive. He had never acted this way before.

Zhao Qian was originally not that nervous about the situation, but when he heard his Master’s voice, he could not help but begin to feel nervous as well. He quickly held his Master’s hand and realized that his Master was trembling slightly.

They walked down the stairs together. Even though Zhao Qian was confident he was holding Long Yang sufficiently tightly, Long Yang still ended up missing a step while walking down the stairs and nearly toppled over.

The officials behind them covered their faces in shock.

Fortunately, Chu Qi was quick on his feet. He helped both of them up at the last moment and prevented Long Yang from being embarrassed.

“Master, please be careful where you step.” Zhao Qian steadied himself and took a deep breath.

The officials were only able to react properly after watching the Emperor leave.

They thought something was wrong with their eyes.

His Majesty would never act out of the norm like that.

The officials tried to convince each other of this.

By the time Long Yang arrived at Grand Phoenix Palace, Chief Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Wu were already there. The midwife had gone into the room.

The curtain at the front of the bed had been pulled open and a few midwives surrounded the bed, trying to calm Lu Liangwei down with soft voices.

“It’s going to be fine, Your Highness. There’s no need to be nervous. Judging by your current situation, it would take a while before you begin giving birth.”

There was a pillow supporting Lu Liangwei’s back. Half of her body was lying down on the bed. Even though Zhu Yu helped to wipe off her sweat as best as she could, her clothes were still completely drenched.

Long Yang returned to his normal self when he entered the room. It was as if the person who had acted so abnormally in front of the imperial court officials was not him, but someone else.

When he entered, the midwives were about to say something and advise him to leave the room as men were not allowed to enter the room when a woman was in labor. However, the thought of how much the Emperor adored the Empress made them swallow their words and they stood aside instead.

Long Yang sat down next to Lu Liangwei in bed and held her hand. “Weiwei, how are you feeling right now?”

“It hurts a little,” Lu Liangwei replied honestly. Just after she answered, she realized that His Majesty’s hand, which was holding hers, was actually trembling slightly.

She looked at his calm face in astonishment.

The next thing she knew, she suddenly let out a short laugh, her feeling of nervousness disappearing as she suddenly felt more relaxed.

She never thought she would witness the day when His Majesty would become a bag of nerves.

Long Yang was confused by her laughter. He could not understand how she could still laugh in this situation.

This should be the time for her to lunge into his arms pitifully, demanding to be consoled.

Why was this situation different from how he imagined it to be?

Lu Liangwei pinched his tightly-wound arm. “Are you feeling very nervous, Your Majesty?”

Long Yang shook his head. “I’m not nervous. I’m just worried that you are.”
