"If you lose your temper in front of the child like this, it will leave a psychological scar on him!" Seeing that Xie Lu was about to lose his temper, Xie Mingyue immediately pulled out her trump card.

As expected, Xie Lu calmed down immediately upon hearing this.

That's right. No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't take it out on your children. Although they are young, children this young still have memories. What if they remember that their grandfather is a grumpy person and then become distant from them when they grow up?

"You take care of the child, I'm going to ask that brat what he's thinking."

When Xie Lu entrusted the two children to Xie Mingyue, Xie Mingyue wished she could just drop her hands on the ground.

He can't even handle teenagers, let alone kids who can't even speak! They can't even communicate!

Xie Lu immediately rushed to Xie Liwei's place, where Xie Liwei had just returned from his shift. He was gradually getting used to this kind of life, doing a day of seemingly useless work outside while also having to deal with colleagues whose minds were unclear.

These days were incredibly boring. Only after he finished his shift did he feel like he had been freed from his seal and had truly returned to his own life.

He had just returned home and was about to spend some time with his wife before going to see his two children. However, before he even saw his wife, his father grabbed him by the ear and dragged him to his wife's yard. The two of them then knelt down and began to confess their crimes.

"You two are getting bolder and bolder, actually keeping things like this from me! Am I not the head of this household anymore?!"

The couple exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Have you ever been in charge of the household?"

As the head of the Xie family, after his wife passed away, he often traveled around, claiming that "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles," and then handed over the position of head of the family to someone else.

He stopped running away later, but he never cared about anything at home! Xie Wanqing studied at the clan school, and Xie Liwei was raised by her. So when the two of them heard Xie Lu speak like that, they were both speechless and unsure how to react.

Xie Lu seemed to know his own character, and he felt guilty about what he said.

"Ah Li, don't you know that your own body isn't in good shape?"

Xie Liwei: "......"

He may not have a good foundation, but he's not weak at all! These are two different things!

"Can you just drink medicine like that? Every medicine has some degree of poison, and this medicine was given to you by Yuwen Wuji. Isn't it just like arsenic? How could you dare to drink it!"

Xie Lu's fatherly love was unusually overflowing, mainly because he didn't want his daughter to be a widow at such a young age! Taking care of those two children was exhausting enough for him alone; if Xie Liwei were alive, they could take turns caring for them. He felt sorry for his daughter if he had to raise them!

"Father, don't worry, Ali always throws it up," Song Yaozhu said guiltily.

"Isn't this still harmful to your health!"

"Don't worry, Father, we've already come up with a solution."

Xie Lu looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that their relationship was becoming increasingly out of line.

The next day, Xie Liwei was on leave at home, and the eunuch still brought him the medicinal meal as usual.

Xie Liwei said, "You don't need to come and deliver medicine anymore. My queen is pregnant!"

The young eunuch was stunned for a long time, feeling that he couldn't decide whether to give the medicine in his hand or not.

"Your Highness, this is medicine the master has given you to recuperate..."

"My queen is pregnant again, which means that my health has recovered. You may return to the palace to report. Tomorrow I will personally go to the palace to speak with the Emperor."

The young eunuch hesitated for a long time, but in the end he took the bowl of medicine back to the palace.

Upon hearing the eunuch's report, Yuwen Wuji felt a surge of inexplicable anger. Why was Xie Liwei so lucky? He was able to have a child so quickly!

"Such a joyous occasion naturally warrants a visit from Physician Zou. If it is indeed a joyous occasion, Prince Xiaoyao should express his sincere gratitude to Master Qingxu."

Physician Zou from the Imperial Hospital made a trip and returned, saying, "Your Majesty, Princess Xiaoyao does indeed have a slippery pulse."

Yuwen Wuji took a deep breath, trying to calm his conflicting emotions, but after taking several deep breaths, he found that he couldn't calm down at all!

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others! He's clearly the emperor, so why is his path so bumpy, while Xie Liwei's is so smooth sailing!

If people can only see what they don't have, their vision will be limited. Jealousy will burn away their reason and extinguish their conscience.

"Summon Master Qingxu." Yuwen Wuji was eager for Master Qingxu to treat his body. Xie Liwei could have another child, so he was sure he would soon have one too!

Master Qingxu arrived quickly, took Yuwen Wuji's pulse, and then prescribed a remedy.

"His Majesty's body has suffered too much damage and needs to be replenished slowly. We cannot rush it," said Master Qingxu. "Before His Majesty has fully recovered, he must not deplete his vital energy, lest all his efforts be in vain."

Yuwen Wuji nodded and had someone take the prescription to the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. The head of the academy praised the prescription as wonderful and even wanted to consult with Master Qingxu.

Yuwen Wuji was relieved, but he was still holding his breath, wanting to compete with Xie Liwei.

The next day, Xie Liwei brought Song Yaozhu into the palace. Yesterday, Yuwen Wuji couldn't wait to send the imperial physician to verify the truth, not even willing to wait one night. He was really impatient.

"You've arrived." Yuwen Wuji had someone offer him a seat, his face beaming with a kind smile, as if it were a happy family reunion.

"I asked Master Qingxu yesterday, and he said you should continue taking this medicine. Only by fully recovering your health can you have many children and much happiness in the future."

Xie Liwei said calmly, "It's not that I'm unwilling to drink it, but this medicine is really effective. I already have twins, a boy and a girl, and the Princess is pregnant with another child. I am already very satisfied. Moreover, pregnancy is a huge drain on the mother's body, and I really don't want to see the Princess suffer, so I don't want to have any more children."

“Hey! Brother Li, what are you saying? Who doesn’t want their family to have a prosperous lineage?” After saying that, Yuwen Wuji looked at Song Yaozhu, “Could it be the Princess Consort? Jealousy in women is not a good thing.”

Song Yaozhu sneered inwardly. Jealous? Jealous for eighteen generations! In my past life, I selected dozens of concubines for your harem. I wasn't jealous, but what good end did I get?

I was still killed by you and your concubines!

Song Yaozhu stood up, tears immediately welling up in her beautiful eyes. She sobbed, "The Emperor and Empress Jingxian's love is stronger than gold, and I believe they can understand the feelings between the Prince and me."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, bearing the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line. But Your Highness only wishes to be an ordinary husband and wife with me, to raise our children together and grow old peacefully. I also wish to have more children for Your Highness, but childbirth is a life-threatening experience for women, and Your Highness does not want me to take that risk again... Even if you gave me the greatest courage, I would not dare to stop Your Highness from having more children."

After hearing this, Xie Liwei thought to himself, "I'll make up for the second time I didn't finish last night when I get back tonight!"

He arrogantly put his hands on his hips!
