It was obvious that the last time they met, even an old man like Doctor Wu was afraid of the emperor.
Before entering the palace today, he was still somewhat reluctant. If it weren't for his concern for Xu Lingyi, Doctor Wu didn't want to see the emperor again at all.
However, when I saw the emperor again, I didn't feel as suffocated as I had imagined. The emperor seemed to have turned back into the person he was when he lived in the small courtyard outside Beijing.
"Yes, yes, I'll be careful."
The emperor nodded, took a deep breath, and with great effort, barely suppressed the joy in his heart.
"Yier, are you feeling unwell?"
The emperor carefully put her down, his tone a little nervous, "Did I scare you just now?"
Xu Lingyi's eyes were a little red. She put her hand on her abdomen and raised the corners of her mouth.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you didn't scare me."
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at Xu Lingyi without blinking, holding her hand tightly, fearing that all this was just an illusion.
"Yier, you have my child! Are you happy?"
He looked ecstatic and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"Yeah." Xu Lingyi smiled faintly, but her eyes were a little sore.
Infertility was once a huge mountain weighing on her shoulders, and everyone said it was her fault.
They did not remember saving Li Jinan, but only blamed her, saying that she wanted to kill Li Jinan and leave no descendants.
Even her own family cooperated with the concubine and asked her to persuade Li Jinan to take a concubine.
It was as if she had committed a heinous crime if she couldn't give birth to a child.
Doctor Wu looked at the two men holding hands and looked like he was about to cry.
Doctor Wu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly felt that his anxiety before entering the palace today was unnecessary.
As long as his disciple was by the emperor's side, the emperor would be fine, especially since they now had a child.
"I feel the same as you, Yi'er. I still can't believe it..."
The emperor hugged Xu Lingyi tightly, his hands still trembling slightly, and the sudden surprise hit him.
"I never thought I would see this day... Ten years ago, I still had hope, but after all these years, I've already lost hope..."
He didn't expect to meet Xu Lingyi and Doctor Wu.
"Men from ordinary families can still have children and grandchildren of their own. My childhood study partner, who is about the same age as me, already has nearly ten grandchildren, but I still have no children..."
The emperor's voice became hoarse as he spoke.
As soon as Xu Lingyi looked up, she met his dark eyes that were tinged with red. She knew exactly how he felt.
I once was in the same situation and felt the same as him.
"The entire court, both civil and military officials, once threatened to suspend their meetings to force me to adopt a son. I knew that for the sake of the country and the people, I should adopt a son, but I simply refused to do so..."
The emperor expressed to Xu Lingyi the frustration that had been accumulating in his heart for years.
"I was unwilling to hand over my kingdom to others, and now I have finally got what I have been waiting for..."
The emperor's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Yier... I will treat you and my son well in the future. If I ever fail you, you must call me..."
Xu Lingyi shook her head, stopping him. "Do you want to swear again? No need. I believe in His Majesty."
Upon hearing the news of her pregnancy, not only the emperor was ecstatic, but she was too, though her emotions were more restrained.
"You will definitely be a good father. Your Majesty and I will raise our child together."
She was also expecting a child, and he was the father of her child, so how could she ask him to swear as he did before.
For the sake of the child, she would not treat him the same way as before.
The emperor excitedly held Xu Lingyi's face, his eyes flashing with a burning light, and leaned over to kiss her.
"Cough cough cough..." Doctor Wu covered his face and reminded the emperor that he, an old man, and Aning were still there.
The emperor finally came back to his senses. He was so overwhelmed with joy that he could only see Xu Lingyi, and he forgot about Doctor Wu.
"Master, please help Yi'er again. A few days ago, I didn't know Yi'er was pregnant. In bed... I did something stupid."
The emperor felt a little scared. He didn't know Xu Lingyi was pregnant that night, and he ignored her sobbing and resistance.
At that time, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to make her his woman forever and not be able to escape anywhere.
"I wonder if it will affect the child?"
The emperor looked at Doctor Wu nervously.
When Aning heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head.
After all, Doctor Wu is an old man who has lived for many years and is not surprised by these things.
"This... I'll take another look. I didn't notice it just now."
Doctor Wu spoke deliberately. He had actually seen it when he took Xu Lingyi's pulse for the second time, and there was no problem with Xu Lingyi's pregnancy.
He has been practicing medicine for decades, and this young apprentice is healthier than any young man he has ever seen.
Naturally, there is no problem with this pregnancy.
But Doctor Wu just wanted to make the emperor nervous.
He deliberately frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
The emperor tensed his body, clenched his fists, and stopped breathing at this moment, afraid to hear an answer he could not accept.
He will have this day too.
Doctor Wu hummed in his heart.
When they met outside the capital, he looked ferocious and threatened the master and his disciple.
Seeing Xu Lingyi also looking nervous, Doctor Wu finally spoke, "Nothing."
If it weren't for Xu Lingyi, he would have made the emperor nervous for a while.
"At present, the fetus is still stable."
Divine Doctor Wu stroked his beard. "Although we were lucky this time and nothing serious happened, and both mother and child are safe, there's no guarantee that something might happen next time. Your Majesty, you must abstain from sex during your pregnancy."
