Chapter 798: After Seven Months

The Early Summer Time: 

Sheng Li was pacing outside the chamber, hearing the cries of Ying Lili. He decided to go inside when Eunuch Xing-Fu stopped him. "Your Majesty, let the delivery happen first. The Empress will safely deliver the babies," he assured him. 

"I think I shall stay by Lili's side. It must be too painful for her," Sheng Li opined when a servant came outside with the vessel in her hand. Sheng Li tried to walk in, and this time Jian Guozhi stopped him. 

"Brother Sheng, be patient. Everything will be fine. Let them do the work," he advised Sheng Li, who clenched his fists. 

"Lili, I am present here. Everything will be fine," Sheng Li said loud enough so that his words fell into Ying Lili's ears.
