The midwife, having received the confirmation, gritted her teeth, washed her hands again with hot water, and then began pressing on the Imperial Noble Consort's stomach.
As soon as her hand went up, the Imperial Noble Consort, who was scarcely able to breathe, let out a sudden scream.
A Little Palace Maid, who had just entered with hot water, was so frightened that the copper basin in her hands clattered to the ground.
Before the senior Palace Maids could speak, the Little Palace Maid had already knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
The Sister guarding the door was about to lose her temper when Wang Yongzhu glanced over: "What are you kneeling for? Quickly wipe the floor with a cloth and then fetch another basin of water!"
She couldn't say anything else.
Gratefully, the Little Palace Maid kowtowed, picked up the basin and went out for a moment.
Then a few Little Palace Maids came in and briskly wiped the water off the floor.
