Chapter 255 Eternal Love
After Doctor Shen left, Xiao Heng looked at the green smoke rising from the incense burner in shock.
Liu Yuetang had been in poor health since she was a child at the farm.
Later, Yu drugged him and injured his body.
It was not easy for her to get pregnant, but she got pregnant anyway, and now the fetus is a little big.
He was really afraid that she would have a difficult delivery or that her frail body would not be able to withstand the pain.
As for Concubine Rou and Concubine Rong, they almost lost their lives during childbirth.
And now Miaomiao...
Xiao Heng straightened his expression and stopped himself from thinking further.
After he finished dealing with government affairs, he went to Liuyin Palace again.
Liuyin Hall.
Liu Yuetang was sitting under a tree watching Liu Zheng and Wan Qiu watering the flowers.
Now is the season when gardenias begin to bloom, and the snow-white petals fill the garden with fragrance under the setting sun.
When Xiao Heng stepped into the courtyard, he saw Liu Yuetang sitting in the courtyard in a light yellow dress, with her chin propped up and a faint smile on her face, her fingertips tapping lightly on the carved stone table.
The setting sun wove a gilded gauze for her, and the scattered light from the pearl hairpins on her temples made her face even more gentle and peaceful.
In a trance, there was no more snow-white gardenia in his eyes, only a rosy figure fell into his heart.
He walked slowly towards her.
When they first met, he only thought that she was stunningly beautiful, and it would be pleasing to the eye to have her as a decoration in the palace.
He didn't know when it started, but he actually hoped that this decoration could always be by his side. Even if he did nothing with it and just stayed there quietly, he would feel at ease.
When Liu Yuetang saw Xiao Heng, she slowly stood up and walked forward: "Your Majesty, have you finished reviewing the memorials?"
Xiao Heng stepped forward quickly and put his arm around her no longer slender waist. "Now that I'm done, I'll come over to have dinner with you."
Liu Yuetang leaned against his chest, looked at the gardenias that filled the yard, and said softly, "Your Majesty, look at the gardenias that you helped me plant. They are blooming so luxuriantly this year."
Xiao Heng looked up and said, "I didn't come last year, so I couldn't accompany you to appreciate the flowers blooming and falling. This year... I will accompany you well."
His eyes fell on a gardenia in full bloom, and he let go of Liu Yuetang, "Miaomiao, wait for me."
After saying that, he walked towards the flowers, picked the white and beautiful flower, and then put it in Liu Yuetang's bun.
"White snow condenses into a beautiful face, bright pearls adorn the red lips, and Miaomiao is extremely beautiful."
Liu Yuetang smiled sweetly and raised her hand to stroke the gardenia on her temples. "Your Majesty, besides being pure and flawless, do you know that the gardenia has another meaning?"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Liu Yuetang gazed at Xiao Heng's gentle waves and said slowly: "It is eternal love."
Xiao Heng was slightly startled, then a gentle arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I understand, Miaomiao is a person of long-lasting love."
The smile on Liu Yuetang's lips faded a little, and her feathery eyelashes drooped like a fan.
The moment she lowered her eyes, Xiao Heng also looked away guiltily.
He understood what Liu Yuetang said.
She is a person of long-lasting love and naturally wants eternal love.
However, love is hard to come by, let alone eternity.
What's more, he is an emperor, how can he indulge in love?
Liu Yuetang stroked her bulging belly, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
This emperor's heart is really well protected.
I have been working hard for nearly three years, but he is not interested at all.
So, sometimes he has to be anxious.
Only when he imagines losing it can he cherish it.
Then, Liu Yuetang hugged Xiao Heng and whispered, "Your Majesty, I am a little scared."
Xiao Heng stroked her back: "What are you afraid of?"
Liu Yuetang's voice was soft and sticky: "I am afraid that I can't stay with the emperor for a long time. The midwife said that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen."
She nervously clutched Xiao Heng's sleeve, the fear on her face half real and half fake.
How could she not be afraid? She was only eighteen years old and was about to become a mother.
Mrs. Bai had injured herself during childbirth, and Sisters Rong and Su had suffered so much pain during childbirth and even had dystocia.
She was also afraid that something might happen during childbirth and she might get hurt, or the baby might be born with incomplete arms and legs. What would she do then?
"No!" Xiao Heng hugged her tightly, his chin resting lightly on her hair, his voice low and firm: "I will stay with you and will never let you be in any danger."
The uneasiness between Liu Yuetang's brows gradually faded, "I believe in Your Majesty."
Xiao Heng stroked her back back and forth, "Be good, don't think too much, just focus on the birth."
Xiao Heng looked at the garden full of gardenias, his eyes gradually becoming blurred and dazed.
She said that she would stay with me forever and never leave.
Then, no matter what happened, he would not let her leave him.
As the due date drew closer, Liu Yuetang became heavier.
My abdomen tightened and the fetal movements became more and more frequent. I often woke up at night and could hardly get a good night's sleep.
For the first eight months, she had a very easy pregnancy.
She had never experienced the morning sickness, back pain, and swollen legs that other people experienced.
And now that she is about to give birth, she has just been severely tortured by the baby in her belly.
As soon as it got dark, he started to make a fuss in my stomach, moving all night long.
During the day, he was very obedient and slept soundly in the belly.
That night, her abdomen felt tight and her waist was very sore. It was so uncomfortable for Liu Yuetang to lie down that she stood up and sat down.
Xiao Heng has always been a light sleeper, especially after Liu Yuetang became pregnant.
Hearing the noise, he quickly woke up and helped Liu Yuetang up.
"What's wrong? But the child kicked you again?"
Liu Yuetang stroked her bulging belly, her brows furrowed tightly. "No, I just feel a little uncomfortable, my stomach is tight."
Xiao Heng's expression tightened, and he placed his palm on Liu Yuetang's abdomen. Sure enough... her stomach was as tight as a drum.
His fingertips trembled immediately: "Is she about to give birth?"
"Come, call the imperial physician! And bring the midwife."
The midwife had been prepared long ago and lived in the side hall. After receiving the news, she rushed over. After washing her hands and checking the baby, she entered the inner hall.
Before she could even salute, Xiao Heng waved his hand nervously, "Come quickly and see if Concubine Xi is about to give birth."
Upon hearing this, the midwife hurried forward to take a closer look, then respectfully asked Liu Yuetang, "Excuse me, Madam, are you experiencing any abdominal pain?"
Liu Yuetang nodded gently: "It hurts a little bit right now."
"Then your Majesty, you are about to give birth. I just checked and found that you have already seen blood, but you have just started to dilate, so the pain is not very obvious yet."
When Liu Yuetang heard this, she subconsciously grasped the quilt.
Even though I knew this day was coming, I was still a little scared when it came time to give birth.
Xiao Heng concealed the panic in his eyes and placed his large palm on the back of Liu Yuetang's curled hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
