Early the next morning, Ji Yunhuan was awakened by his son's crying.
Her son was particularly attached to her. His little hands kept touching her chest and he insisted on drinking her milk. No matter how the wet nurse coaxed him, it was of no use.
Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to force herself to stay sleepy and opened her clothes to feed her son.
"Hiss..." Ji Yunhuan cried out in pain. Didn't anyone tell her that breastfeeding was so painful? It felt like it was being ripped off.
When the emperor entered the room, he saw Huan'er crying in pain, but she was still holding the brat tightly.
"Take him away! Are all the wet nurses dead? Don't they know how to breastfeed? Imperial Concubine Chun is in so much pain, and you're just standing there?"
The wet nurses had never seen the prince's majesty before, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled, unable to even speak clearly.
Ji Yunhuan's milk wouldn't come out, and her son seemed to have lost his patience. He pouted, frowned, and was on the verge of crying.
"Your Majesty, please stop causing trouble! The child wants to drink my milk, but it won't come out. I'm already annoyed enough."
Raising a child is not just about having a wet nurse. If you don’t put in the effort to raise your child, how can he or she become close to you in the future?
The emperor immediately called Liu Dewang and said, "Go and get Dr. Li."
The one kneeling in the front was Mrs. Tao. She was the oldest and most experienced. After Concubine Chun retired last night, she was the one who took care of the little prince.
There were four wet nurses sent to Shuhua Palace together. There was competition among the wet nurses. If they could stand out in front of the master, the whole family would be rich and prosperous in the future.
Nanny Tao bravely bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have just checked with the Imperial Concubine. There is milk inside, but the child is too weak to suck it out. If Your Majesty... it should be able to come out."
The nurse's words were unclear, but the emperor understood, "Don't worry, Huan'er. Let me help you."
Ji Yunhuan's face was already red, and for the sake of her son's food, she could only nod in agreement.
The little prince was immediately carried out by Nanny Tao, and Taohong also led the palace maids out and closed the door.
There was excitement in the emperor's eyes as he approached Ji Yunhuan step by step.
They were already an old couple with children, and they were very familiar with each other's bodies, but Ji Yunhuan still felt extremely ashamed.
The emperor loved her shy and timid look. He unbuttoned Ji Yunhuan's clothes, and her chest seemed to be bigger than before.
Ji Yunhuan's ears turned red. The house was heated by a floor heating system, so it wasn't cold, but she couldn't help but shiver all over...
She used the "Recovery Pill" before going to bed last night. After using it, she felt less pain in her body. When she woke up, her waist was tight again and as slim as before. The stretch marks disappeared and her lower body was back to normal.
The emperor put his arm around Ji Yunhuan's waist and leaned over to kiss her.
Ji Yunhuan made a shameful sound, and her body seemed to want more. The emperor was obviously aroused, but in the end he held back, turned his eyes away and put clothes on Ji Yunhuan casually.
"Alright, let that brat come in and drink some milk. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air. It's so stuffy in your room."
The emperor almost fled in panic. If he stayed for another second, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and eat Ji Yunhuan up.
Huan'er had just given birth, and she couldn't have sex before she was out of the confinement period. He couldn't just focus on himself and ignore Huan'er's health.
There was a floor heating in the house, and it was still warm as spring even in the hot winter. Ji Yunhuan broke out in a sweat. She was surprised that the emperor ran away like that.
When did this hungry wolf become a vegetarian? How could he be so well behaved?
There seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere lingering in the room, which made people blush and their hearts beat fast. Ji Yunhuan patted his face and couldn't help laughing.
She still has to endure for another month, and she really doesn't believe this hungry wolf can endure it.
Taohong came in to help Ji Yunhuan change clothes. Seeing the empress's silly smile, she didn't know what the empress was so happy about, even though the emperor had run away.
After everything was cleaned up, the child finally had his milk. The little guy's belly was full from drinking, and he yawned comfortably, then fell into a deep sleep.
The emperor opened the door curtain and came in. He coughed awkwardly and said seriously, "I have something to tell you."
Ji Yunhuan put her son aside. She saw the purple color under the emperor's eyes. The emperor must have not slept all night.
"There's no need to rush. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
The emperor came over to sit next to Ji Yunhuan, grabbed her hand, and stroked it carefully. "I know you feel bad for me, but I can't sleep well if I don't find out the truth."
"There's also a ground heating system burning inside Hualan Pavilion. Have someone move all the chrysanthemums in there. Last night, the Imperial Guards found poison in the potted chrysanthemums. The Imperial Physician has examined them and found that this poison is most harmful to pregnant women..."
Ji Yunhuan interrupted the emperor, "This matter has nothing to do with the Empress. I trust the Empress, and my premature birth was not caused by the poison in the potted plants."
She watered the chrysanthemums yesterday morning, but Ping Anfu didn't react at all, which means that the poison in the potted plants was put there later.
The purpose was to fish in troubled waters and shift the blame onto the queen.
The queen has already asked to leave the palace, but these people still refuse to let her go and insist on making the two of them fight each other. What a good plan.
Fortunately, she has peace and happiness, so she will not doubt the Queen, nor will she let His Majesty become suspicious of the Queen. She will not let those people succeed.
The emperor chuckled and said, "Huan'er is indeed smart. This matter has nothing to do with the Queen. I have already investigated thoroughly. It was Concubine Zhao who put the poison in yesterday."
"I've known for a long time that she's not a good person, yet you're still sending her to me. You don't even know when she'll be harmed."
