"It looks like it was born only ten days ago. Where can you find such a fresh baby?"
"Ten days?" Lu Anyuan's pupils shrank suddenly. That was the child she conceived last year. If it wasn't hers, whose could it be? "How dare she say my child is a bastard!" Lu Anyuan was extremely angry, his teeth chattering.
Ah Da on the side didn't know why his master was so angry. It was obvious that he was confused. Even he could tell how much the child looked like his master the moment he saw the child. Why did he ask Mr. Yao how he could tell that?
"Congratulations, Master!"
"Forget it!" Lu Anyuan clearly hadn't come to terms with the situation. However, as he watched Mr. Yao examine the child, a hint of worry and concern lingered in his eyes. "When I entered the courtyard just now, besides Xu Yiwen and that maid, did you see anyone else?"
"I didn't see him, but the maid said there should have been another man in the courtyard, but I don't know who he was."
Lu Anyuan waved his sleeves and said, "Keep a close eye on her and guard the gates. She has so many shadow guards around her, but none of them have been caught yet. They must still be hiding nearby. If anyone else gets lost or escapes, you'll hang your head outside the city gate for those barbarians to see!"
"Yes!" Ah Da clasped his fists and quickly retreated. It was indeed necessary to strengthen the protection. If the Crown Princess escaped again, he would really have to commit suicide to apologize.
Mr. Yao had also finished his examination: "Your Majesty, it's a boy, in good health, and without any illness or disease."
Lu Anyuan looked at the child in the nanny's arms, feeling a bit lost for a moment. This nanny was a mute slave brought from the palace, with her tongue cut out, prepared to be used for close combat with Yixing when she was captured. Now it seemed that letting her take care of this child first was a good idea.
"Well... then keep her there for now and don't let her see the child! Then go find a few reliable wet nurses. Mr. Yao, you go check on her. She's only been born ten days ago, and we don't know if there's anything wrong with her."
"Yes." Mr. Yao was in a good mood. This time he could come to Miaozhou, which just fulfilled his wish. Otherwise, in Beijing, he would have to face the little guy who always poisoned him secretly.
When we arrived at the inner courtyard, we saw a group of guards standing outside the wall by the door. If you didn't know, you would think they were holding some serious criminal.
Xu Yixing had just fallen asleep when he was startled awake by the noise. Seeing the person coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, long time no see. How are you?"
"Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet."
Xu Yixing was worried. She had previously suggested that Ying Si should go and spar with Mr. Yao. It seemed Mr. Yao had suffered a lot from him. "Did Lu Anyuan ask you to come?"
"Yes, His Majesty wants to confirm your physical condition." Mr. Yao was not shy at all. He did not follow the palace rules to avoid contact with people or anything like that. He directly put his fingers on Xu Yixing's wrist.
He pondered and said, "Your Qi and blood are both deficient. If you don't take care of your body, I'm afraid it will be in danger."
"How is this possible!" Xu Yixing struggled. He felt a little tired recently because he had been getting less sleep. He was obviously in good spirits, so how could he become a dying person?
"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Look at your face, it's almost the same color as the yellow earth. Why are you trying so hard?"
"This..." Xu Yixing was really scared. She had fainted right after giving birth, and she didn't know if the doctor had ever examined her. Was she really as weak as Mr. Yao said? "Then please, Mr. Yao, save me!"
Xu Yixing's pleading look was very direct. Mr. Yao lowered his head and said, "I'll be at your service." Then he went out to write a prescription. Naturally, these words fell into the ears of the four people in the room.
As soon as Mr. Yao left, Xu Yixing paled like a frost-bitten eggplant. She knew it wouldn't be easy to work hard after giving birth, but she hadn't felt anything in the past few days. Thinking of her mother and the concubines in the mansion, she felt a tightness in her stomach. Could this be the fate of the women in our Xu family?
As she thought about it, her eyes felt sore and she was about to cry, but there were other people in the room after all, so she could only hold the quilt and crawl in to prevent anyone from hearing any noise.
Lu Anyuan saw that the child was so adorable that he couldn't help but imitate the nanny and pick him up to play with him when no one was around. It was so light and soft that he was afraid he would strangle the child to death if he used too much force. So he picked him up twice and quickly stuffed him back to the nanny. He repeated this several times, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.
When Qin Li came in to answer, he saw His Majesty giggling and teasing a child.
"Your Majesty, I have already questioned Xu Yiwen in the prison, but she said nothing. The maidservant's name is Junhe, she's from Miaozhou, and she was bought into that family not long ago. She described the other man's appearance clearly, and I have already brought him here."
Lu Anyuan glanced at the portrait and said, "I don't know him. Just go and look for him." But he was sure in his heart that he would never find this person. After all, Lian Yixing was wearing a disguise at home, so the face must be fake.
"Yes. Also, the family Xu Yiwen went to during the day was surnamed Gao, the one who once served as a stand-in in Duke Sun's mansion. The family she went to was the Wu family of Miaozhou, looking for the third daughter of the Wu clan, Wu Xueyan. Both are now incarcerated. What will Your Majesty do with them?"
"Oh, they really are all acquaintances. Qin Li, do you think they planned to get together, or is this just a coincidence?"
"It's hard for me to say."
"Haha. Then lock them all up. There's no need to torture or interrogate them. I'll deal with them after I've dealt with these matters."
"Yes. By the way, Your Majesty, people in Lanyuan say that the Crown Princess is not doing well..."
"Why is it not good?" Lu Anyuan asked anxiously in a deep voice. Xiaobao was right beside him and was startled by the sound and started crying loudly. Lu Anyuan had no choice but to let the nanny take him down to comfort him.
"Mr. Yao told the Crown Princess that she was not in good health and was afraid that she would die. The Crown Princess immediately became very unwell and looked very sad."
"Why is he saying this to a patient?" Lu Anyuan patted the cushion on his seat. Although the sound was not loud, Qin Li still quickly lowered his head. He thought to himself, hasn't Mr. Yao always been like this? He doesn't hesitate to say anything. If you let him go, you naturally know that he will speak without restraint...
"Have you written the prescription yet?"
"It's open. Mr. Yao is personally decocting the medicine."
"Hmph." Lu Anyuan stood up and turned his back, dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Wait until night falls and she falls asleep, I'll go check on her."
"Yes." Qin Li accepted the order and left, but was stopped by Lu Anyuan.
"By the way, what is the child's name, little maid, do you know?"
"Xiaobao, Lu Xiaobao."
“Tacky!”
