518. Chapter 518 Peace



"Are you absolutely sure?"

The one who asked the question was Mrs. Guo San. Now that her father-in-law was ill, her mother-in-law was taking care of him, and her husband was in court, she was the one who made the decisions at home . How could she feel at ease if her grandson was taken away to other places for treatment? So she naturally didn't want to agree, and she was very afraid that someone would take the child away after just a few encounters.

"I have."

Xia Meng's answer was firm and powerful. At this point, Mrs. Guo San had no choice but to take a gamble.

"Then go quickly. I hope the miracle doctor can save my grandson's life. The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely repay you with gratitude!"

Xia Meng nodded, then quickly left with the child in her arms.

When she returned to the general's mansion, she went straight into the courtyard where she lived, and then told Xing Zhao and Guo Silang not to let anyone disturb her.

The two of them naturally agreed and waited outside.

But there was no sound inside, not even the sound of the child crying, and Guo Silang was very panicked.

He had only seen his son a few times and had never even held him in his arms. If he were to die, his wife Xue Niang would be devastated, so she prayed to God that her son would get better.

The sun rose slowly, and two hours passed before we knew it.

When Xia Meng called them in, Guo Silang could see with his own eyes that his son's complexion had improved.

It was not as dark purple as before, so he said to Xia Meng excitedly.

"You are truly a miraculous doctor. Please accept my greetings!"

"No, no, no, get up, get up. I'm just trying my best to save the child. His condition is better than I thought. Just leave the child with me for seven or eight days. Then I'll give you a healthy son."

"Seven or eight days? But I need to go back and send the wet nurse and those who take care of him over. They are all selected. Don't worry, they are definitely not reckless people!"

Xia Meng thought about it and agreed.

Firstly, she has no milk powder, so the baby must be breastfed, otherwise it would be very troublesome. Secondly, she knows how to treat illnesses, which doesn’t mean she can take care of a newborn baby day and night, so it would be good if someone could share some of the burden.

But in order to prevent her secret from being discovered, she still gave the instructions.

"I need to treat the child alone for one hour each in the morning, afternoon and evening. You two must stay outside to watch over me. Is that okay?"

"Okay! Don't worry, even mosquitoes and flies won't get close to us!"

Guo Silang agreed readily, then kissed his son and hurried back home to dispatch personnel.

He happened to meet Xue Niang who had just woken up. When she heard that her son was in a bad condition, she kept crying and wished she could suffer the pain herself.

But in the end, I heard the good news from my husband.

"My son's condition has improved. The doctor said he can be brought back in seven or eight days. But now we need to send some people to look after him."

"I'll go! Anyway, I have my own courtyard in the General's Mansion, so I'll wait there with the wet nurse and the others. When the child is being treated, I can be closer and feel at ease!"

"You just gave birth and you need to recuperate. How can you move around so easily?"

"The child is my life. How can I live for seven or eight days without him? Mother-in-law, please let me go to the general's mansion."

Xueniang couldn't help crying, and Mrs. Guo San was finally at a loss for what to do.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, not caring about anything else and simply had people pack up their things, seal the carriage with oil paper, and then sent Xue Niang back to the general's mansion.

Butler He and Madam Dou knew that someone was coming, but they didn't expect that even the Eighth Miss, who had just given birth, would come back with them, so they immediately started to arrange for her confinement.

Fortunately, the Hanyi Courtyard where she used to live was cleaned every day, so there was no problem living there. It was also early summer, so it wouldn't be cold.

Therefore, everyone was prepared, and Xue Niang actually spent her confinement period in the general's mansion.

When Xia Meng heard about this, she also cried out in amazement.

"After all, mother and child are connected by heart. I actually forgot about this when I brought the child here. But it's good for her to stay in the mansion for the confinement period. I can watch over her and take care of her."

Guo Silang was grateful after hearing this.

If Xia Meng wanted the stars in the sky at this moment, he could give them to her.

So the married Xue Niang returned to the General's Mansion to recuperate after giving birth, and she also moved in with her child and husband. Naturally, there was a lot of talk outside, so in order to quell the talk, the Prime Minister's Mansion announced that it was because of Prime Minister Guo's illness, and they were afraid that there would be a conflict with the child, so they moved there temporarily.

In the Duke's Mansion, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi also helped to cover up, so this matter only appeared briefly in people's conversation and soon passed.

Now, the new emperor has been on the throne for only a few days, but his right-hand men have already run into trouble. One has fallen ill, and the other is in mourning. This has given many people the opportunity to climb up the ladder.

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

Fortunately, the new emperor was not stupid. Everything went according to plan. He attended court, listened to government affairs, handled matters, and visited the harem from time to time to check on the concubines. The days passed one by one.

From the end of April to the beginning of June.

The Duke's funeral was finally completed, so after seeing him off at the funeral on the second day of June, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi returned to the General's Mansion.

When the two of them returned home, they felt relaxed and comfortable.

The children were still taking a nap, so they didn't disturb them. The couple went straight to the ear room and washed and bathed.

Now that it is the period of mourning, there is no room for any mistakes, so the couple are very careful and will not easily do anything intimate in front of others.

Du Jingyi sat in the bathtub, his whole body immersed in the hot water.

Cherry beside her wiped her wipe with concern, and then said.

"Madam, you were not fat to begin with, and now you have lost a lot of weight. Look, your waist looked plump a few days ago, but now it's all bones."

After hearing her words, Du Jingyi patted her hands and replied.

"It's our duty as children and daughters-in-law to be tired for a month, so let's not talk about it anymore. By the way, have you prepared the gifts for Xue Niang? The general and I will send them over tomorrow."

"It's all ready. It's just packed in a small box. Outsiders can't see it or anything."

"Well, that's good. Don't let anyone get hold of something when the country is in mourning."

"Yes, I know."

As she spoke, Du Jingyi recalled that Xueniang had suffered a lot when giving birth to the child.

Fortunately, she was taken care of by Xia Meng in the general's mansion, so after staying there for a full month, she returned to the prime minister's mansion with her child, looking radiant.

The Prime Minister was naturally very happy to see that his daughter-in-law and grandson had returned safely, and he privately prepared many gifts to thank the miracle doctor!
