The people surrounding Lu Yuyan were all looking at him nervously. The princess had always been in good health, so why did she suddenly faint?
Lu Xiaoyun squatted by the bed, swallowing nervously. She had been very restrained these past few days, not wanting him day and night.
Could it be that she and Ayan were often tinkering with gunpowder in the mansion, which made him faint from anger?
He's Prince An, he can't be so easily angered, can he?
"Ah, Ah Yan, what's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly faint?"
Lu Yuyan frowned, raised his hand to stop Lu Xiaoyun from speaking, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Lu Xiaoyun's heart was pounding, and Ruoling gripped her fourth brother's hand so tightly that her fingers turned white.
Qi Yu held her belly tightly with both hands. Feng Yan helped her sit up and held her hands with some worry. If something happened to the princess, Qi Yu would be eight months pregnant...
Feng Yan's face also turned pale.
Ruoling was closest to Lu Yuyan and heard him muttering something incoherently, as if saying "one, two?" No, she needed to double-check if it was two.
Two? What does that mean? What are you confirming?
Lu Xiaoyun's mind was buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Ayan was saying at all.
"What two? Ah Yan, what are you talking about?" Ruoling asked, puzzled.
Lu Yuyan put her finger to her lips: "Shh, let me confirm if they are twins."
"What? You, you mean Fourth Sister-in-law is pregnant?" Ruoling exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yuyan looked up at the room full of people staring at him nervously, especially his elder sister, who was slumped on the ground, exhausted. He chuckled sheepishly, "Oh, did I forget to say that the princess is pregnant?"
The room fell silent after he uttered those words.
Lu Xiaoyun stared blankly at Lu Yuyan: "Ah, Yuyan, what did you say?" Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of disbelief.
"The princess is pregnant, and with twins!" Lu Yuyan said with certainty.
As Ruoling breathed a sigh of relief, she slapped him on the back: "Lu Yuyan, were you trying to scare us to death?!"
Lu Yuyan shrank back, grabbing Ruoling's hand. Her hand was still trembling slightly, clearly frightened by Zhu Yu's sudden fainting spell: "I... I just wanted to confirm if they were twins. It's too early in the pregnancy, less than a month..."
Zhu Yu slowly woke up in bed, his eyes slightly red: "Ayan, do you think I'm pregnant, or is it twins?"
"Yes, confirmed, twins, but it's still early in the pregnancy. You're prone to feeling cold, so you need to be extra careful."
Zhu Yu gently placed his hand on Lu Yuyan's stomach, his eyes fixed intently on her: "Boy or girl?"
Lu Yuyan's lips twitched: "You can't tell if it's a boy or a girl by taking their pulse; you'll only know after they're born."
Zhu Yu scoffed at him, "A miracle doctor? More like a charlatan."
He ignored Ayan and placed his hand on his lower abdomen: "I like girls who look like me, they're so pretty."
Apart from the three who knew the inside story, everyone else's lips twitched in unison. "Your Highness, can't you be a little more modest? Why do you make it sound like the Prince is not a good person?"
Everyone glanced silently at the "Prince," only to see a dark, indistinct figure with only a pair of clear black and white eyes visible on his face, and his clothes torn in several places.
Well, this prince, whose hair is smoking from being blown up, is definitely not good-looking.
Zhu Yu tried to get up, and Lu Xiaoyun rushed to help him, but when she saw her own blackened hands and the tattered clothes hanging on her body, she immediately withdrew her hand: "You, you lie down properly, I'll go wash up and come right away."
Lu Xiaoyun ran to the washroom like a gust of wind, but tripped on the threshold at the door and fell out with a thud, startling Jiang Chuan and Wu Chuan who were about to come over, who immediately jumped aside.
They were terrified. The prince bowed deeply to them. How could they possibly survive?
Jiang Chuan went to help her up, but Lu Xiaoyun sprang up from the ground as if she had been injected with chicken blood, disappearing from their sight in an instant.
Jiang Chuan and Wu Chuan both felt it was surreal; what was going on?
"Where are my clothes? Where are my clothes? Jiang Chuan, Yuan Xiu..." Lu Xiaoyun shouted, and Jiang Chuan rushed over in a panic.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Where are my clothes? I need to bathe and change. Quickly, find my clothes for me!" he said, while haphazardly pouring water over his head.
Jiang Chuan was confused. The princess was pregnant, so why had the prince gone mad?
"Oh dear, Your Highness, this is cold water. I'll have someone boil some hot water for you to wash with." Before Jiang Chuanshuo could finish speaking, Lu Xiaoyun took a towel and wiped herself up and down, front and back, until she was finished washing.
Then he snatched the clothes from Jiang Chuan's hand, put them on, and rushed out again.
Jiang Chuan held the air in his hand and remained rooted to the spot.
Chunfang pushed Consort Duan over, and when she saw her "daughter-in-law" lying on the bed with a pale face, she quickly held her hand tightly: "Xiaoyun, how are you feeling? What would you like to eat? Is there anything that's bothering you? You're too thin, and you're pregnant with twins, you must take good care of yourself."
“No, we can’t overdo it. But we must make sure she gets well. Ah Yan, how is Xiao Yun’s health? What should she be careful about? I’ll write it down. Chun Fang, go and get some paper and pen ready.”
Lu Yuyan smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too nervous. The Princess Consort is fine. Don't worry, I will not go anywhere during these ten months of pregnancy. I will stay with the Prince and Ruoling to watch over him until he safely gives birth to the two children."
"Good, good, Ah Yan, thank goodness you're here. It's so good to have you here." Consort Duan wiped away her tears.
Zhu Yu squeezed Consort Duan's hand: "Mother, don't be so nervous, I'm fine."
"It's alright, Mother, don't be nervous, don't be nervous." The Dowager Consort Duan's palms were sweaty.
When Lu Xiaoyun rushed in, her hair was still dripping wet.
Feng Yan's lips twitched: "Master, have you taken a bath? Are you wet?"
Lu Xiaoyun glared at him: "You talk as if you weren't nervous when you found out Qiyu was pregnant."
Feng Yan fell silent.
Lu Yuyan asked everyone to leave, leaving the young couple some space.
Ruoling walked listlessly in the courtyard, kicking pebbles as she went. Lu Yuyan held her hand tightly and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Ruoling raised her obsidian-like eyes and looked at Lu Yuyan: "Yan, I want a child too."
Lu Yuyan pulled her into his arms and gently pecked her lips: "Sweetie, you're not eighteen yet. We'll have children when you're twenty."
Ruoling is only seventeen years old this year, which is the time when a young girl is growing. It would be bad for her health if she got pregnant and gave birth at this time.
Ruoling lowered her head dejectedly: "Okay."
After a long pause: "But I really want a child."
Lu Yuyan scooped the person up in one swift motion, carried them into the house, and gently hooked the door shut with his foot.
What man could stand his wife saying that to him?
"Hey, Ayan, do you want to take a shower?"
"It's too late, I have to fulfill my wife's request."
