"Please excuse me, Eunuch Liu. The general and several lieutenants were practicing martial arts at home. When I went there, the general was so happy that he forgot to go back and wash up before coming to see you. Please don't be angry. I will just treat you to some tea for this little thing."

After saying that, Butler He handed over a purse. It was not heavy and you could tell at a glance that it contained banknotes.

Eunuch Liu happily accepted it. It wasn't that he was short of this little money, but for a position like theirs, if they didn't accept it, the other party would have more thoughts. So he accepted it without any discrimination.

Seeing this, Butler He finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Gu Shaoyu had now come out of his excited state, so he spoke apologetically to Eunuch Liu.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Eunuch Liu. This news is really too shocking. I will go back and wash up, and then follow you into the palace!"

"Don't be anxious, General. Just take your time."

After bidding farewell to Eunuch Liu, Gu Shaoyu quickly returned to Xitang Courtyard to wash, change clothes, and tidied up his clothes before leaving. At the same time, Luo Yuan had already prepared the horses, so after they mounted their horses, they followed Eunuch Liu and headed straight for the imperial city.

In about an incense stick's time, Gu Shaoyu arrived before the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be blessed!"

"Hahaha, you're finally here. You're having three happy events! Your wife is really amazing. She gave you four boys in one go. They're almost catching up with the number of my sons."

"I dare not. The princes are of noble birth, and my son is just a child. Naturally, I cannot be compared with them."

Only then did Gu Shaoyu realize that he had three sons.

Although I don't have a daughter, I have three sons anyway. The only thought in my mind is that this is enough, enough, and I will never have any more children.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard His Majesty the Emperor speak again.

"You did a good job with the tribute a few days ago. Prime Minister Guo told me a long time ago that he would let you go back to watch over your wife while she gave birth. I thought it was strange at the time. Why would a woman have to do this for just giving birth to a child? Now I know that you are going to have three children. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The emperor's words sounded casual, but Gu Shaoyu was not stupid and knew it was a test, so he calmed down and answered.

"Your Majesty, I was also surprised when I learned about this. At that time, my wife was diagnosed by Doctor Tan, who said that it was twins. The Gu family has such bloodline, and my great-grandmother died because of giving birth to twins. So I was very worried and wanted to go back to check. I really didn't expect that there would be three boys. So, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I dare not hide it."

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Eunuch Liu, and then saw him hurriedly step forward and speak.

"General Gu's words are indeed true. When I went to deliver the decree, the general also came in a hurry, and his face showed a lot of surprise."

Eunuch Liu's words dispelled the emperor's suspicion.

Then he laughed out loud and said.

"I guess you don't know either. Forget it, but the message sent here says that both mother and child are safe. You can be more at ease in your job at the court, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's heart tightened a little. Did he not intend to let him leave? Sure enough, just as he was thinking about it, he saw His Majesty the Emperor start to give orders.

"Since your wife gave birth safely, it doesn't matter whether you go back or not. When they recover, they will naturally go north to reunite with you. There is no need to make another trip and waste time on the road. I think the envoys from the Great Jin have been unruly these past two days. You should work with the Crown Prince to think of ways to entertain them."

"His Majesty……"

Gu Shaoyu wanted to go back and was eager to set off right now.

But the emperor's words blocked his way completely, and he was powerless. He requested several times in succession but was rejected every time. Finally, the emperor simply waved his hand and told him to leave first, not bothering to talk nonsense with him.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu came here happily and left in a daze.

He actually felt some resentment towards these three sons he had never met. It would have been better if they came out a few days later. By then he would be on his way back anyway, and the emperor would not be able to recall him even if he was unhappy.

Thinking that his wife had to take care of herself during the postpartum period, he became dissatisfied with everything. He was so angry as if someone had picked a fight with him outside. As soon as he entered the door of Xitang Courtyard, he waved his sleeves and smashed a vase.

Fortunately, everyone in the mansion is a family, so no inappropriate news was spread. However, after venting his anger, Gu Shaoyu still had to pick up his pen and write a letter.

He thought that he should ask someone to send the news back to Jinling City as soon as possible so that his wife could rest assured during her confinement. At the same time, he told Luo Yuan to pick a few people with good skills and ask them to go to the inn with him to take a look.

He wanted to know if the Ninth Prince was making a fuss again. If it was really because of his making a fuss that he was unable to return, then he wouldn't mind asking his men to loosen up the Ninth Prince's muscles.

The message was sent out half an hour later, and the secret guards of the Huben Army rushed to deliver Gu Shaoyu's letter to Jinling City. By the time the letter reached Du Jingyi, she was already on the eighth day of her confinement.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Under Dr. Xia's care, Du Jingyi recovered quickly. If her belly hadn't recovered so slowly, she would have felt like she was before giving birth.

There were three children and six wet nurses who took care of them carefully and seriously. Therefore, they had grown a lot more than when they were just born.

"There's only a sitz bath here, no shower, otherwise you could wash up by now."

Everything Dr. Xia said was very different from the way of confinement after childbirth in Daxing Dynasty, so Yingtao and others were full of curiosity every time they heard her say this.

Thanks to Dr. Xia's care, Du Jingyi is doing well and the children are doing well too, so the Gu family has become more respectful of Dr. Xia.

Gu Xiaochun originally wanted to ask Dr. Xia to help save her pregnancy, but she said that there was only one baby in her belly and that it was okay to just ask an ordinary doctor to take a look.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang did not force it.

After all, they had all seen how Du Jingyi got pregnant and gave birth, so it would be better to give birth one by one.

"shower?"

"Yes, it's much more convenient to connect it with a pipe and flush it directly than to use a bucket."

"Then I understand. There is such a thing in the side room of the general's mansion in Sui'an City. However, the general learned it from the royal pond. I wonder if the person who proposed this method is from the same place as Doctor Xia?"
