Huang and Li Shuang died within half a month, and Li Chong struggled for several months before dying quietly as well.
Li Wenjin remarried, having forgotten his two children in the palace. He embraced his new wife and was determined to have another child in his old age.
After reading the messages, Yun Yi burned the note in his hand to ashes. These people were now just a thing of the past, and he would never mention them again in front of his wife.
Li Yunyan is now in her late pregnancy, her belly is very large, and she has great difficulty moving around. Yunyi was terrified.
He moved all official business back to his residence to handle, and entrusted matters that absolutely required going out to deal with to Yuan'an and Yuanbao.
Now that Li Yunyan is experienced, she doesn't need to hire a nanny. She knows what to eat and what to pay attention to during pregnancy.
So even though she was pregnant with quadruplets, her belly didn't get ridiculously big under her strict control. It was just because she was lazy and had the system's pills at hand that she was too lazy to even leave the room.
Yunyi strictly adhered to the advice he had heard, carrying Li Yunyan out to bask in the sun every day without fail. If she didn't want to move, he would carry her to the yard, supporting her arms so she could at least walk a few steps slowly.
Seeing Yun Yi's tense demeanor, Li Yunyan would sometimes cooperate and walk around. If she didn't want to cooperate, she would hang on him and let him move her around as he pleased.
That day, Yunyi had someone transplant a pear tree from the courtyard that had blossomed, and he excitedly carried Li Yunyan out to see it.
"Yanyan, look! The pear blossoms are in bloom!"
Li Yunyan hugged his neck tightly, looking at the pure white blossoms covering the branches, feeling as if the dead pear tree in that secluded little courtyard had come back to life, and her heart was filled with joy.
"It's so beautiful! I wonder if it will bear fruit?"
"It will definitely bear fruit!" Yun Yi said with a smile. "I had someone choose the best pear tree; its fruit is big and sweet!"
"That's wonderful!" Li Yunyan looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Thank you, my husband!"
Yun Yi gave her a light kiss, "As long as Madam is happy!"
"oops!"
Li Yunyan suddenly frowned and touched her stomach with some discomfort.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yunyan felt the familiar cramping pain and smiled at him, "Husband, I think I'm going into labor!"
......
Inside the pre-arranged delivery room, several midwives worked together to take meticulous care of Li Yunyan.
Meiye brought over the ginseng soup and fed it to Li Yunyan spoonful by spoonful. "Madam, is that enough? There's more in the kitchen!"
Li Yunyan had already taken the painless childbirth pills, and her current cries of pain were just for show.
She shook her head and said, "No need, that's enough."
After she finished speaking, she felt her stomach tighten again and began to moan softly in response.
Mei Ye nervously wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, then massaged her feet to relax them, and then ran to the kitchen to bring in several plates of snacks. She was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground.
Yun Yi stood guard outside the door the whole time. He had given the order that no matter how important the matter was today, he would not leave the room even for a moment, so no one dared to disturb him.
Yuan An stood guard at the gate of the mansion, while Yuan Bao stood guard at the entrance to the courtyard, ensuring that no unauthorized personnel would enter the mansion.
Under heavy protection, Li Yunyan safely gave birth to two sons and two daughters.
Yunyi looked at the four children lying side by side, feeling both happy and excited.
But what he was most worried about was Li Yunyan's health.
"Madam, how are you feeling?"
Li Yunyan had already taken the quick recovery pills and felt no pain at all, only a little tired.
"My husband, I'm fine! Don't worry!"
Yunyi's hand lingered on her now-flat stomach, not daring to apply any pressure. Having given birth to four children in one go, how could the lady be alright?
She must be in a lot of pain!
He stroked her face tenderly. His wife was usually such a delicate person, but she had already sacrificed so much for the sake of the children. As her husband, he should do something too.
"Madam, when the children are a month old, I will hold a family reunion banquet and properly record the four children in our Yun family's genealogy!"
"Won't this... make people suspicious?"
Li Yunyan was a little worried. Yunyi was nominally a eunuch, but suddenly he had several children. How could she explain this to others?
Besides, these children...
Li Yunyan looked closely and found that each child resembled the two of them to some extent, and this resemblance would become more and more obvious as they grew older.
"Don't be afraid!" Yun Yi squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring look. "Even if someone has doubts, I can dispel their suspicions."
Yun Yi has always been steady and meticulous in his work. Since he has said so, Li Yunyan is no longer worried and can trust him.
She nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, my husband!"
He kissed her forehead and looked into her tired eyes. "Yanyan, go to sleep! You've had a very tiring day!"
"Um."
Li Yunyan was really tired. She responded with a word, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in no time.
One month later.
The whole capital had heard that the Grand Secretary was holding a family reunion banquet to adopt four children as godchildren.
It was quite common for eunuchs to adopt sons to secure their future. However, it was unusual for an ordinary eunuch to adopt only one or two sons, let alone four, including both men and women.
Moreover, this eunuch is no ordinary eunuch; he is the Grand Eunuch, a position equivalent to that of the Regent!
Although a young emperor sits on the throne, everyone knows that all affairs of the court are handled entirely by the Grand Chancellor! Even the memorials are personally reviewed and approved by the Grand Chancellor!
Apart from not sitting in the center position and not wearing the yellow robe when attending the morning court, in every other way is the Grand Master of the Seal better than a real emperor?
When people heard that he was going to adopt sons and daughters, it caused a sensation throughout the capital. Everyone wanted to see what these four particularly lucky children looked like.
At the banquet, the head of the household generously brought out his four children and showed them to everyone.
They also met the rumored, extremely favored, yet rarely seen, mistress of the Grand Master. Indeed, she was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice; her appearance was simply breathtaking!
No wonder even the Lord of the Seal, who is usually indifferent to women, made an exception and married her!
Looking again at the four babies, who appeared to be just over a month old, they were all rosy-cheeked and healthy. Upon closer inspection, one could even see the resemblance between the couple's handprints in their eyes and brows!
The Lord of the Seal is indeed all-powerful; he can even find children who look like him and his wife!
No wonder the Lord Seal Master wanted to take these four children as his godsons and daughters at the same time. Just based on their looks, he would have taken even more if there were a few more!
Yun Yi's open and honest demeanor meant that not a single person doubted that these four children were the Lord of the Seal's biological offspring!
