Childbirth tribulation

  "Long Yunya! Don't! Have you gone mad?!" I growled in a low voice, but couldn't stop his actions. "I have Longzi in my belly! How can you think of such a thing!"

  His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted loudly, "How can't it be! The dragon son has the dragon's essence to protect his body, so he will grow even stronger! Don't you know?"

  His body was ruthlessly pulled over, and with a loud crash, his body was punched far away by someone! Long Nuyue reached out to release my acupoints and shouted loudly, "I knew I couldn't keep you! Long Yunyue! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have healed your injuries that day!"

  Long Yunya slowly got up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a cold smile. "Is that so? Who was it that saved my life back then? You tell me, did Imperial Sister really save my life? What business do you have here?"

  Long Nuyue's face turned bright red with anger, and Yu pulled out his sword. The two of them clashed in a fierce battle!

  I gazed calmly at the two of them and said loudly, "The great enemy is before us, yet you two are quarreling over a small matter. You truly are the representatives of the Dragon Army! You can continue fighting slowly, I'm leaving!" After adjusting my clothes, I turned around and left. As I had said long ago, beauty is not the source of trouble, it's the human heart that causes problems. If they want to fight, let them fight to their hearts' content! I don't have time to bother with them!

  The two of them saw me leave and also felt that it was meaningless, so they stopped and followed me, one on the left and one on the right.

  "Ye Hanmei! What are you doing?! In this situation, how can you just leave like that?" Long Nuyue thundered incredulously in my ear. Long Yunyue snorted coldly, "Could it be that you're afraid to see the Emperor being beaten too badly by me?"

  "I stopped in my tracks, closed my eyes and said softly, 'Do you two know how boring this is? The Dragon God Army is facing its greatest test, yet you still have the leisure to fight over a woman! In such a situation, the woman should be crying out loudly for both sides to stop fighting! Whoever wins or loses will gain the sympathy of the woman. But now I'm busy competing with the Demon Dragon King and don't have time to bother with these things! If you like to quarrel, go back and quarrel to your heart's content! You two love to fight, don't always use me as an excuse!'"

  I said, and then I took the lead, fleeing quickly. I had given up hope for Long Yunjia, but just now I had feelings for Long Nuyi, and he fell in love with me again! Although it's not right to think about these things now, my brain can't help but keep thinking.

  Memories they once shared, he had completely forgotten. But now! His hand involuntarily caressed the lips and body that he had kissed before. He actually said, he wanted me! Wanted me to bear him a dragon son! Thinking about it, why wasn't the child in my belly his?!

  The kid seemed to have sensed my mood and kicked my belly. I was shocked, and suddenly an idea struck me! I knew how to deal with Iceland now!

  The Demon Dragon Clan launches a massive attack! Surrounding the Dragon God Army's base, Dragon God Island! If this defense falls, the gates of Jiang Guo will be wide open, and the entire Demon Dragon Clan will march in. This puts the Dragon God Clan in grave danger!

  When we arrived, the Ten Evil Dragons had already taken down Divine Dragon Island with ease. Long Nü's face didn't look good. I remained silent, staring fixedly at the calm sea surface that had just returned to normal. Bing Lan took advantage of a change in the weather and obtained Divine Dragon Island. He was only one step away from connecting the Divine Dragon Clan. His methods were unprecedented!

  "Your Majesty! Let the kitchen shake out some wine! I want to invite the gods to have a drink!" I said in a low voice.

  He furrowed his brow, but didn't say much more, and simply gave the order to proceed. The warm wine was brought to the table, which was filled with all sorts of fish dishes. The morale of the gods' army was at an all-time low. The Dragon God Army had fallen into unprecedented anxiety!

  He raised his small jug and poured himself a cup of wine worth eight coins, held it up to the gods and shouted, "Following me into battle has been hard on everyone!"

  "It's okay to work hard! But our base has been occupied!" The Ten Great Generals of Shenlong had never suffered such a loss, and they couldn't help but feel wronged.

  Longnü Ya's face turned blue and he didn't make a sound. I raised an eyebrow. In a low voice, I said, "This matter can't be blamed on others! It's just that the Dragon King is too cunning! Everyone raise their wine cups to pay respects to our fallen brothers!" After I finished speaking, I poured the wine onto the ground in front of me!

  I fall, and the Ten Great Generals of the Dragon also follow me, raising their cups in a toast to our comrades.

  He poured the second cup of wine, facing Shenlong Island, and quietly said, "I also respect you! Binglan!" After speaking, he poured the warm wine into his own throat. The wine warmed up his body immediately. I whispered, "In the past, the reason why Shenlong Army had Shenlong Ten Generals was because Modragon Army had Longwang Ten Generals! And I know that each of the Modragon Ten Generals is a hero, with integrity and excellent martial arts skills! It seems that the relationship between Shenlong Ten Generals and them is like enemies, but in fact, they admire each other in their hearts. Is that right?"

  "This is natural! If we're talking about elegance, the Ten Dragon Marshals are unmatched, they're the pride of the Dragon Tribe! Such a person would also be a standout in the Divine Dragon Tribe! Why did the Marshal say that?" The small man said quietly.

  Tears fell like this, "Because, after today, the Ten Dragon Generals will be just a legend!"

  As soon as the words fell, a loud explosion sounded on Shenlong Island! Then there was a string of small explosions. The ten generals of Shenlong were not smiling at all! They were all staring at the island in shock, speechless. Some people escaped onto the ship, but the ship also caught fire! Not one person who occupied Shenlong Island escaped! Not one!

  "Iceland! I don't want you to die either! This time, will you personally come to the island? I don't want you to die! Really! Although it's your way of doing things, but my heart is in pain! Not having an opponent is painful! If one of the Ten Dragon Kings dies, what's left are just a bunch of rabble, taking down the Dragon Clan would be easy! Our side has also suffered heavy losses! Let's burn this island to ashes and start all over again!" He said, putting down his wine jug.

  "Long Nu's voice was hoarse with rage as he said, 'When did you lay this out? Why am I completely unaware of it?!'"

  "I gritted my teeth, 'From the moment the Emperor decided to attack Flame Island! The battle of Flame Island was a fight to the death between the Dragon King and the Emperor! It was either victory or defeat! And I had the Dragon Son by my side, how could I possibly lose?! At first, we just let people bury some explosives on the island. If it wasn't necessary, if she hadn't occupied the island, we wouldn't have taken action! But she really did take action! She really occupied the God Dragon Island stronghold! What was I supposed to do?! Once this place falls, the gates of Jiang Country will be wide open! In fact, the tactics she used were the same as mine. She lured you with benefits, drawing you and the other princes and the main force of the God Dragon Army away, while I also lured her with benefits, only she didn't succeed, but I did! She didn't expect that she would still lose to me despite using such a complex plan! Long Nü Jiao! It's been ages since I've had such a thrilling and exhilarating battle!" I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

  "But you won!" he said in a low voice. "I was right about you! The Dragon Army can be entrusted to you with confidence! In terms of fighting, I'm on par with you, but when it comes to playing mind games with women, I'm far inferior to you! This time, I was wrong! I misjudged Yuelan! I thought she was still the same Yuelan as before! If it weren't for the incident on Fire Island, if it weren't for seeing your efforts, I would have still thought she was my Yuelan! Sorry, Ye Hanmei!" He said softly.

  "Tugging at the corner of my lips, 'You're not wrong! She's not wrong either! The mistake lies in that you are the Holy Dragon King, while she is the Demon Dragon King! If one day, the Holy Dragon King and the Demon Dragon King stop fighting, that would be truly laughable!' I said softly."

  His face changed color and he said in a low voice, "Isn't it funny that we're not fighting?"

  I stared at him coldly, pondering the meaning behind his words. His heart was extremely cold, yet he still thought about the possibility between them? Ah! Ah! Previously, he had no idea why she refused to enter his harem, but now he knew! And it moved him!

  How can he tolerate such a result! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! What's most humiliating is the marriage between the Holy Dragon Clan and the Demon Dragon Clan! The Demon Dragon King marrying the Holy Dragon King, and the long-standing war between the two clans will be resolved with ease! And yet they still talk about annihilating the Demon Dragon Clan, there's no need to say anything else!

  Frowning and staring at his side, but couldn't guess what he was thinking! If he really made up his mind like this, then! Then! In the imperial palace, how could there still be a place for me and my child to stand?

  Yuelan, how can you tolerate me and my child! Yuelan! Are you really dead?! If not, would you be willing to accept such a result?! Ha! I was wrong! With Yuelan's pride, she would never accept such a result! Even in defeat, she would hold her head high like a queen! Rather than being humiliated and married into the harem of Longnü Bay!

  I used to be indifferent to his harem, but now I'm so angry that I'm gritting my teeth! Why did I have to marry the Emperor?! Marrying the Emperor is the greatest sorrow of a woman's life! From then on, she'll be locked deep in the palace, competing with countless women for favor and attention! I don't want it!

  I firmly believe that as long as I don't get emotional, the pain I suffer will be less. As long as I don't get emotional, after giving birth to the child, I can leave freely! I can leave him far, far away!

  These days, Long'er seems to have grown up a lot. My little belly is already noticeably protruding. Thinking of that day when Long Yunjue suddenly showed his love, I almost collapsed! I don't want to bear this longing alone. If he really has a heart, he can really think of me! Besides, there's Long'er in my tummy! The existence of the child has actually made my feelings for him gradually fade away. What can compare to the love between mother and son?!

  The corners of my mouth involuntarily curled up into a faint smile. After the dragon child is born, I will cut off all ties with the men of the Long family and that will be the right thing to do! I will leave the imperial palace, leave Xunxiang Garden! I smiled calmly, after this battle, the war has almost come to an end.

  I don't know what Long Nuyue will do, nor do I know how Binglan will react! But if they really are meant to be together, then where is my own destiny? Is it with Long Yunyue? Can I still want someone like him? Or should I just become a nun and spend the rest of my life in solitude?

  Hah! Alright! I still have to cherish my sisters! The world is vast, and in the Phoenix Valley, there is a place for me to settle. This is it! This is it! As the Old Man of Heaven's Will said, the existence of Dragon Anger Gorge will allow my sisters to escape their fate of separation from their husbands. Then, where is my husband who saved them?!

  Now I only recognize one big sister, are they still as lovely as before, treating me like a little sister? I smiled wistfully, it's been so long! So long that even when the Phoenix Valley caught fire, I wasn't with them! So long that I haven't even gone to pay my respects at my mother's grave!

  Forget it! Even if we win this time and return to the palace, even if Long Nü is unwilling, I will still go back to Feng Huang Valley once to see my mother.

  The Dragon Tribe was almost completely defeated after the departure of the Ten Great Demon Dragons. Long Nüying took Long Yunying and left, still returning the command to me. I commanded the Divine Dragon Army to clean up the remaining forces with a big belly. After six months of arduous struggle, several clashes with her, finally recovered the Demon Dragon Tribe! However, she was never taken down! By the end, I knew that the marriage between the Divine Dragon Tribe and the Demon Dragon Tribe would no longer be possible! Because the Demon Dragon Tribe had lost all favorable conditions. The primary purpose of a marriage alliance is to benefit both parties!

  When I was pregnant and returned to the capital with my husband, wherever we went, everyone welcomed us along the way. Everyone rushed to tell each other: Longfei is back!

  I also know that when I return, it will be the time for me to leave! Once the child is born, I can leave Jiang Guo with a clear conscience! My mission will then be accomplished!

  From now on, I and he can only be like this! My belly is surprisingly big. Long Nuyue wore a black dragon-embroidered cloak, standing calmly with his tall and majestic figure, half a year has not changed him. Long Yunyue was dressed in white clothes, his phoenix-like eyes swept over my belly, and immediately turned away!

  Long Nu Ya walked a few steps forward and said loudly, "My queen! You're back! My queen has worked hard!"

  I smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, I have never grasped the magic of the Dragon King's attire, and I truly feel ashamed before you!"

  He shook his head, "My dear queen, don't say such things! How was it? Was the dragon boy well-behaved or not? Did he cause any trouble for you?"

  I shook my head and smiled calmly, "Long'er is fine!" As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach suddenly felt a dull ache.

  "Empress is indeed blessed with great fortune! During Empress's time at war, many of the imperial concubines in the palace also became pregnant! Now that the dragon son is born, he'll have brothers to play with!" Long Yunya said calmly.

  Dazed, I tried to ignore the stinging pain in my heart. I didn't say a word, I was fighting for him outside, while he was inside the palace, desperately trying to produce an heir! What was I expecting? Was I expecting him to have undying love for me? Would he be special just for me? His special treatment, however, only belonged to Ice Lan alone!

  I recall the last battle, I seized the Dragon Palace, the palace was empty, with a few large characters written inside: Ye Hanmei, when you return to the imperial palace, you will know what it means to be in unbearable pain!

  Is that what she meant? I thought resentfully. Yu's lips curled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you've got another dragon breed!" After speaking, he turned around and headed towards Xiangxiang Garden!

  I don't want to see them again! Don't think, don't look! He didn't catch up! No gentle words, nothing at all! Just a faint voice saying "Thank you, beloved concubine!"

  My belly was cramping again, and I fell to my knees in the jasmine flower bushes. My legs gave out from under me, and amniotic fluid mixed with blood flowed all over the ground! Damn it! The baby's coming! I bit down on the back of my hand, not letting myself cry out. At this moment, I didn't want him to hear my cries!

  After a while, my stomach seemed to be better, but I couldn't get up! Xiao Yu, the palace maid, saw me from afar and shouted loudly, "Your Highness! Your Highness! You're back? Ah! Quick, someone come! Her Highness is going into labor!"

  It's time to give birth! I bit the quilt, biting until it bled, but still didn't see the child born. The whole garden was filled with an unusually strong fragrance of jasmine, yet I was struggling at the edge of life and death. Damn it! Why is giving birth to a child more deadly than going to war?! I cried out softly, yet refused to admit defeat.

  Until Xiaoyu called the midwife, until the palace maid carried me into the room, I didn't realize that I had almost fainted in the jasmine garden! Can't lose! Must see the child born!

  The longer it dragged on, the more unexpectedly difficult it was for the child to be born. The midwife's expression turned grave. Afterwards, the imperial physician came in! I knew then that it was a difficult birth!

  It hurts! Endless. My throat is hoarse, my teeth are full of blood, I haven't eaten a thing, and the child won't come out! The imperial physician gave me ginseng to revive me, but I couldn't sleep! I forced my eyes open and shouted loudly, "Imperial physician! You're good for nothing! What's your solution? Hurry up and do something! This not being able to give birth is a disaster!"

  The imperial physician furrowed his brow and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm truly sorry! The baby's feet are pointing down and its head is pointing up! Moreover, the birth canal has not opened yet! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

  "Damn it, Long Nuo Ya! What kind of suffering have you put me through?! Damn it! Damn it!" I shouted loudly. With a sudden burst of strength, I let out a sharp cry and before losing consciousness, I heard the soft crying of my child... It's born! It's born! As I slightly opened my eyes, I whispered, "Let me see." The moment I finished speaking, everything went black and I fainted.

  The child kept crying and shouting "mother" loudly. I stretched out my hand, but couldn't catch him no matter what. Child, don't! Don't! Suddenly startled, I saw Xiaoyu kneeling on the ground with red eyes!

  Long Nuoya brought the Long brothers and all the elders of the Dragon Clan sat in front of my bed.

  "Your Majesty!" I said in a hoarse voice, "Why have all the elders come? Where is the child?"

  They exchanged glances with each other, silent and speechless, some even turned their faces away. Long Nuyue didn't say a word, and the Long brothers also furrowed their brows.

  "Dragon's wrath? Where is my child?" I asked again in a louder voice. "What happened! Why must it be so grand just to give birth to a child!"

  Long Nu Ya didn't say a word, but stood up straight and said loudly, "Xiao Yu, bring the child out for the empress to see!"

  The little rain lowered its head. The loud crying mouth was half a moment before standing up straight, and from the back of the head, a package was hugged out! I used all my strength to prop myself up, but only saw nine eggs! Nine eggs? I was stunned for half a moment, and in a hoarse voice, said, "You're kidding me! Your Majesty! You're kidding me! Before I fainted, I clearly heard the sound of a child crying! Your Majesty, you're kidding me!"

  Longnü stretched out his hand, and in it lay half a pearl. That pearl I recognized, it was the one he had lost! How, my connection with him has finally been broken? Nine eggs? Haha! Nine eggs?

  "Dragon Queen! You've given birth to nine eggs! Giving birth to such a freak is because you climbed to the top of the Divine Dragon Tower! Even so, the Golden Dragon God punished you by making you give birth to nine eggs! Forgive me! I'm furious! I can't bear it anymore! Come here!" The dragon tribe elder Yu covered his face and turned away.

  Long Nu Ya said in a low voice, "I don't know what's going on, but everyone in Jiang Guo knows about it! They think that giving birth to nine eggs is a punishment for Jiang Guo and an ominous sign! So they want me to deal with you!"

  I remained silent, my face pale, recalling Iceland's words. Once I return to the palace, you will wish you were dead! It turns out that it was referring to this all along? I clearly remember the child's soft crying voice. In that case, there can only be one explanation: the child was switched! My child was swapped with someone else! The person who made the switch gave me nine eggs instead!

  Haha! Iceland! So you didn't die just to tease me?

  I went through the pain of childbirth for three days and three nights, only to give birth to nine eggs? Hahaha! I burst out laughing, tears streaming down my face. "Long Nuyue, do you believe it?"

  His face looked terrible, he didn't say a word, but after a while, he said firmly, "I believe!"

  That is to say, I laid nine eggs, he believed! I continued laughing and asked in a low voice, "Long Yunjia, do you believe it?"

  Long Yunya lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice, "That egg still has the Empress's fresh blood on it!"

  "It was only later that he wiped it away!" In other words, he also believed! He even presented evidence!

  "Long Yu Ya, Long Yu Ya, Long Tai Zi, Long Lie Ya, you all believe that I was born from these nine eggs?" I asked incredulously. Where are their eyes? Where is their brain?

  "Empress Long! Don't say another word! In the imperial palace, giving birth to such an inauspicious creature... what should be done!" He said in a low voice.

  My dragon son! My dragon son! "Your Majesty, seal the palace! Hurry and search the palace! I believe she must not have been able to leave the palace! My dragon son, he must still be alive in this world!" I shouted loudly, my mouth almost bleeding. The child who breathed with me every day, how could it just be these nine eggs? He clearly kicked me from inside his mother's belly, clearly cried out softly! Why, why?!

  He furrowed his brow, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, before speaking softly after a moment, "It's already been three days!"

  Three days ago, I had already sent people to seal the palace and search it thoroughly. I also had the midwife and imperial physician arrested and interrogated. However, they all said that what was born were these nine eggs! If you still don't believe me, ask Xiaoyu, she was there at the time too!

  "I exclaimed loudly, 'Xiaoyu! Tell me the truth! Long'er, where is he?'"

  Xiaoyu covered her face and burst into tears, saying loudly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I'm sorry!"

  My tears fell immediately, Ah! Ah! Xiao Yu is Mo Long Wang's person, can't be said, the child was swapped by her, how could I ask her! Ou buried his head in the quilt and shouted loudly. Child!

  Child! My intention was to take you away with me! Alas, I didn't have the strength and fainted! And then you were switched with someone else!

  Child! Are you still in this world? Child, are you hungry now? Cold? Where are you after all? My heart is as empty as my stomach, as if it had been hollowed out by someone.

  "Dragon Empress! The whole country of Jiang already knows about this matter! And earlier, when you ascended to the Dragon Throne, I had already made a vow that once you give birth to the dragon child, I will have to account for it!" He closed his eyes and said in a low voice. Which means, he can't protect me either!

  I cried until I was hoarse and couldn't speak anymore! "How is this possible, Long'er!" His words, I couldn't bear to listen to a single sentence. How he would deal with me, I really didn't care! Loudly wailing, my tears wouldn't stop no matter what!

  "What's the use? Just give me three feet of white silk and let me die in peace!" Long Qingxia said hoarsely.

  Long Yunya frowned, "She just calmed down the Magic Dragon tribe's rebellion, no merit, but also hard work, how can she be given a white silk so easily!"

  Long Nu Ya sank into silence for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "This time, the great merit of pacifying the demon dragon tribe's rebellion cannot be rewarded with just a white silk! Dragon Empress, what do you have to say?"

  My eyes were bloodshot, slender fingers pointed at the door and hoarsely said, "Get out!"

  As soon as the words came out, they heard the sound of everyone gasping in shock. In front of so many people, they didn't give the Dragon Emperor any face, and they were indeed shocked! They directly said that the Dragon Empress was very ill-mannered!

  Long Nu's face turned iron-green, and after a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The previous incident on the Dragon God Peak, combined with this matter, I hope you can give them an explanation!" After speaking, he stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Dragon Queen lost her beloved son and encountered such a thing, naturally her mood won't be good. However, Jiang Guo people want Dragon Queen to give an explanation! Dragon Queen should also consider my feelings!"

  "Sympathy? I sympathize with you, but why don't you come to sympathize with me? Today's affair, it's clear that someone has framed me, yet you won't thoroughly investigate and instead want me to give them an explanation! Fine! Long Nu Jia! You're good!" I said, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Long Yunya stood up and took a step forward, but was pulled back by the hand beside him!

  "I know this is hard for you to accept! But, never mind! Longfei! Calm down!" He said weakly.

  "Can't even protect his own woman, Long Nuyue! What kind of emperor are you? Ah! Having nine eggs doesn't mean anything! Everyone here knows what's going on! Why blame it on the Empress? You all just showed a hint of sympathy, knowing how unfair it is to put this on a woman's head! Long Nuyue! If you can't protect her, hand her over to me! I'll take care of her!" Long Yunyue shouted loudly, his eyes slightly reddening.

  "What are you talking about! White Dragon King! The dragon queen cannot be remarried! Although this matter is indeed clear to us, but what about the people of Jiang country outside? They are all kneeling outside the door, if we can't give them an explanation, our divine dragon clan will become a laughing stock! What will the people of the dragon tribe and the magic dragon tribe think of us? We just recovered from the magic dragon tribe! We pacified the pirates in the outer sea! At this critical moment, such a thing happened! How can you let us do!" The old man with white beard shouted.

  I smiled coldly, "So, for the peace of Jiang Guo, you want to push me out and hand me over to them, is that right? If so, then fine! I'll go out and hand myself over. Why did I lay nine eggs? Why did I climb to the top of Shen Long?"
