The guard bent down and said:
"The imperial physician is still reviewing the information, so we don't know for now. We can only preliminarily conclude that it's not a poison that would kill you instantly."
Lu Yan waved his hand, letting him go, and called the phantom over again:
"How's it going over there?"
"His Majesty has withdrawn most of the troops, leaving only one team of ours stationed there. The prince has been taken back to the Qinzheng Palace. The other three midwives have gone back to the side hall to sleep, and the lady has also gone back to the inner room to sleep. She is fine now."
Lu Yan picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it down.
The emperor is still as heartless as ever. Maybe he thinks that Xu Zhiyi has just been harmed by someone, so no one dares to harm her now?
Or do you think that since the prince has already been born, it doesn't matter to her as a new mother?
He looked at the time and it was already the end of the Chou hour.
He got up and went to Suiyuxuan.
When they arrived at Suiyuxuan, Qinglu was the only one in the inner room guarding Xu Zhiyi, who had just given birth.
It was expected that the master would come tonight.
As soon as he arrived, Qinglu retreated to the door obediently.
He stretched out his calloused hand and gently held Xu Zhiyi's hand, afraid of waking her up.
He carved every eyebrow and every face of hers with his eyes.
Suddenly, he heard a baby humming softly, and he realized that there was a small fence on the other side of the gauze that surrounded a small baby.
He signaled to Qinglu with his eyes.
Qinglu hurried over to explain:
"At that time, the Empress said she wanted to raise both children herself, but the Emperor disagreed, saying it was too dangerous for the little prince to stay there. He took the little prince back without even looking at the Empress. The Second Princess also stayed behind without even looking at him."
The corners of Lu Yan's mouth went from raised to straightened in an instant.
Xu Zhiyi heard them talking and woke up because she was in a light sleep.
Lu Yan waved his hand and asked her to leave.
At this moment, Lu Yan looked at the woman who had just given birth to twins for him, and he didn't know where to start.
When I opened my mouth, I found my voice was a little hoarse:
"Does it still hurt?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded. In fact, she no longer felt pain, but she still wanted Lu Yan to feel sorry for her.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that almost got you hurt."
Xu Zhiyi shook his head:
"This is not your fault. I know you have done a very thorough investigation for us. There are always some surprises."
But Lu Yan couldn't forgive himself. If Xu Zhiyi had an accident, he didn't know how he would survive alone.
Afraid that she would worry, he suppressed his emotions.
He leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead:
"Thank you for your hard work. We won't have any more children in the future, okay? Just raise them both well."
Xu Zhiyi curled her lips. He didn't want to have a baby anymore, and she still owed him a child. Forget it, it was not up to him to decide whether to have a baby or not. It all depended on herself.
The child's groaning inside gradually became louder and turned into crying. Lu Yan carried his eldest daughter out.
This was the first time he held a baby in his arms. The baby was so small, and his eyes and eyebrows looked very much like Xu Ruyi's. His lips were also pink and soft, as tender as tofu.
But he could lift his arms weighing hundreds of pounds to pick her up, but he was afraid of bumping into them, and his arms became stiff unconsciously.
But he also felt that if he held her like this, it would hurt her small body.
Seeing her crying, he reached out his hand and wanted to pat her like others.
Afraid of hitting too hard, he carefully withdrew his hand.
I reached out and touched the inside of the quilt and found it was dry.
Seeing him at a loss, Xu Zhiyi felt that he should really let his subordinates see that he could become like this.
"She must be hungry, right? Bring it here, I'll feed her."
"Are you breastfeeding now?"
From his medical point of view, many women do not produce milk immediately after giving birth.
"Yes, don't worry, your daughter won't starve."
Lu Yan frowned:
"She's your daughter too."
When Xu Zhiyi was planning to breastfeed herself, she had already asked the system for lactation-enhancing pills. She now has plenty of milk. Of course, she had been asking for them for a long time, so this could be considered a gift from the system.
Lu Yan was afraid that she had just given birth and would get tired holding her daughter in her arms, and he was even more afraid that he would accidentally hit her wound.
He held his daughter close to her. Although Xu Zhiyi had done everything with him, she felt a little shy when he looked at her like this.
He lowered his head, eyes, and lifted up his bellyband.
Lu Yan was afraid that his daughter would choke, so he watched her eat carefully.
After a while, they were finally full. Lu Yan was sweating profusely. He had never been so focused before.
When I held her, I was afraid that I would use too much force and hurt her, and I was also afraid that if I held her too loosely, she would drop.
After my daughter finished her feeding, she fell asleep again after a while.
He never opened his eyes from beginning to end, and his little fists were clenched tightly.
Lu Yan put her back tremblingly.
Xu Zhiyi had just finished tidying up her clothes, and her face was still flushed.
Lu Yan held her hand again, this time using a little more force.
"Do you miss your son?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded. When she gave birth, she took a look at the baby, took the baby away after a while, and never brought it back.
It's easy to think about it, because someone probably drugged Sui Yuxuan, and the old emperor must have been afraid that the prince would be threatened, so he took the wet nurse away with him since there was one in the palace.
"My daughter looks more like you. Her eyebrows and eyes are like yours. She is so cute."
"Tomorrow I will persuade the emperor to send the child back."
Xu Zhiyi shook his head:
"No rush, let's wait until he's out of confinement. He's still young now. I don't want him to move back and forth, for fear that he'll get sick."
The emperor is in high spirits now, and anyone who tries to persuade him will probably get into trouble.
"You've been wronged."
After Lu Yan came out of Suiyuxuan, he went to the Imperial Hospital.
The lights in the Imperial Hospital were still on. When something like this happened, the entire Imperial Hospital was investigating what it was.
I used a little for the experiment and there is still a little left, so I use it carefully.
Lu Yan first went to see Doctor Wang to ask what the medicine was.
"It's most likely a banned drug from the previous dynasty, often used after childbirth. It can cause bleeding and eventually death from blood loss.
Another type is that it directly leads to postpartum hemorrhage.
It has no effect on normal people.”
Lu Yan tapped the table with his fingers.
Anyway, the purpose is to get rid of the mother and keep the child, right?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until she gave birth to a son before giving her this medicine.
The first person he thought of was the emperor. He was a cruel man by nature. He did such a thing because he might have felt that Xu Zhiyi's background was not strong, or that she had been married and he didn't like her.
After thinking about it, I ruled out this idea. The emperor is a suspicious person and probably still hopes that Xu Zhiyi will have a second child and more sons.
Then it can only be the queen. After all, if Xu Zhiyi continues to give birth, her position will indeed be in jeopardy.
I looked at the sky outside and it was time for the morning court session.
The next day, during the morning court session, the emperor announced the good news with a beaming face.
He also brought the little prince to the court.
He unwrapped the blanket, exposed the key parts, and demonstrated to the ministers.
