Chapter 284 Keep You Safe
Zi Su went out and took a look around before she realized that Lin An was not there.
Lin An went to see the Queen Mother.
His Majesty instructed Lin An to guard the Hehuan Palace every day. Lin An had to report to the Qianqing Palace every day, and he also had to go to the Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother was extremely concerned about the fetus in Concubine Shen's belly.
Every day, every detail must be asked clearly.
Lin An went out to report as usual today, and rushed back as fast as he could, but unexpectedly he ran into Zi Su sitting in the corridor crying.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin An was shocked.
This person was brought from outside the palace by Concubine Shen, and the affection between them is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
No one in the Hehuan Palace dares to offend him, yet he is crying here now.
Lin An's heart skipped a beat and he stepped forward quickly: "What's wrong? What happened? But what happened to the noble concubine?"
Zi Su was waiting there. Seeing Lin An asking, she cried even harder: "Eunuch Lin, please save our queen."
She followed the young master and learned some of her methods. Zi Su was crying with tears streaming down her face. She held Lin An's hand and pretended to kneel on the ground.
This scared Lin An so much that he almost fell to his knees.
Holding Zi Su's hand, he quickly pulled her up from the ground: "If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. But what happened to the noble concubine?"
Zi Su shook her head: "Don't worry, Master, the Queen has just woken up."
"The Queen is awake!"
Lin An was so happy that he even forgot about everything else. When he heard that Chen Fu had woken up, he went out without saying a word.
His Majesty is still worried. How happy would he be if he knew that Concubine Shen had woken up?
Zi Su quickly grabbed him and said, "Eunuch, the queen has woken up, but Doctor Xu is gone."
With tears in her eyes, she told the story one after another.
"Eunuch Lin, what do you think we should do?" Zi Su cried.
"The queen is about to give birth, and Doctor Xu has been watching over her fetus. If the Changqiu Palace doesn't release her, the queen's safety may not be guaranteed."
Lin An is a smart guy.
After hearing so much, and looking at Zi Su's expectant and dazed expression, is there anything you don't understand?
He nodded.
"Don't worry, Miss Zisu. His Majesty has asked me to look after the Noble Concubine, so everything must be based on the safety of the Noble Concubine."
"As long as I'm here, Doctor Xu will be back soon."
As soon as Lin An went out, the people in Changqiu Palace were released immediately.
He personally brought Doctor Xu to Chen Fu, with his waist bent low, and did not dare to raise his head when looking at Chen Fu.
"My Lady, I have brought Doctor Xu to you."
When Lin An was speaking, he didn't even dare to look at Chen Fu.
His Majesty asked him to look after the Hehuan Palace. He only went to see the Empress Dowager today. How could he know that such a big thing had happened?
His Majesty had ordered him to guard the Hehuan Palace. If anything really happened, he would have to come to see him with his head on his shoulders.
"Today's incident was caused by my negligence." Lin An bent over and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will not allow such a thing to happen again."
"Thank you very much, eunuch." Chen Fu looked at Lin An and felt relieved.
Thinking of something, he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, eunuch, is His Majesty here?"
Shen Fu has not seen His Majesty since she fell into a coma. Logically, the Emperor should have received the news that she had woken up, but he still hadn't come to see her after such a long time.
It's really unreasonable.
Thinking of the situation in the sedan chair, Shen Fu asked: "Does Your Majesty know that I am awake?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is also worried about you." Lin An leaned forward and said, "I have just reported it. Your Majesty will come to see you as soon as he finishes his work."
"But is there something wrong with the previous dynasty?" Shen Fu asked.
Lin An looked into Shen Fu's eyes, his eyes flickering slightly.
It sounds like this is an attempt to find out the whereabouts of His Majesty. If it were an ordinary person, Lin An would definitely ignore him.
But the person in front of me is Concubine Shen...
Lin An's eyes flickered, and he leaned forward and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left the palace."
"Leaving the palace?" Chen Fu really couldn't figure out what the Emperor was going to do after leaving the palace.
But looking at Lin An's expression, it was obviously impossible to ask.
Chen Fu tactfully held it back.
It was already evening when His Majesty arrived.
Doctor Xu was giving acupuncture to Shen Fu at this time.
The palm-sized silver needle fell on Shen Fu's wrist. Shen Fu did not change her expression despite the pain, and her brows did not even wrinkle at all.
This was the scene Xiao Yu saw when he walked in.
He stood under the eaves, his eyes fell on Shen Fu's face, and looked at her deeply for a long time.
Until Shen Fu couldn't help it and a soft hum escaped from her throat. Xiao Yu seemed to react at this moment, and hurried into the house: "How is it? Are you okay?"
His Majesty's arrival was so sudden that everyone in the room was startled.
The servants knelt on the ground, including Doctor Xu, who was giving the acupuncture. He raised his hand holding the silver needle, stopped where he was, and pretended to kneel down.
"Your servant..." As soon as Doctor Xu stood up, Xiao Yu extended his hand: "Okay, no need to be polite."
His Majesty raised his hand towards Doctor Xu, but his gaze fell on the bed. His usually dark eyes were now filled with heartache.
"I see you've lost a lot of weight."
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, placed his fingertips on Shen Fu's cheek, and gently extended his palm to caress her.
Before the fingertips fell, Shen Fu turned her head and coughed softly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu saw it and quickly bent down. His palm fell on Shen Fu's back, and he turned to the side and said, "Doctor Xu, come and take a look."
"I'm fine." After hearing this, Chen Fu quickly stretched out her hand. She just coughed lightly, there was no need to make such a fuss.
Chen Fu held the palm of His Majesty's hand: "I am fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
When Lin An saw this scene, he quickly lowered his head and left with everyone in the room.
Doctor Xu also left with Lin An and waited for the door to close. Xiao Yu then reached out his hand and held Chen Fu in his arms.
"I am very worried about you."
Ever since she became pregnant, except for the fact that her belly was a little bigger, everything else about Shen Fu was the same.
No different than before.
Xiao Yu put one hand on Shen Fu's lower back and the other hand clasped the back of Shen Fu's head, with his palms pressed tightly against hers.
"If you don't wake up, I'm going crazy!"
Chen Fu was held in the arms of His Majesty, listening to His Majesty's helpless and worried voice. She felt calm after hearing this, but still said to His Majesty:
"My life was saved by Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive."
Her illness came on suddenly and violently. Xiao Yu was already frightened and now he heard Chen Fu say this.
A sense of panic filled my whole body.
Xiao Yu held Chen Fu's hand tighter and tighter: "Don't talk nonsense."
"As long as I am here, you will be safe."
Chen Fu was held in the arms of His Majesty, and she heard with her own ears the stagnant breathing of His Majesty.
His Majesty would also be frightened.
Chen Fu lowered her eyes: "I also want to accompany Your Majesty well, give birth to a child safely and stay by Your Majesty's side."
"I definitely will." Xiao Yu's hand fell on Shen Fu's head, stroking it gently with his palm. Every gesture was filled with compassion.
"But what if I can't do it?" Chen Fu raised her head, tears in her eyes:
"If, if something unexpected happens to me, what should I do then?"
Her panic didn't seem fake.
Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu's panicked expression and asked softly, "Did you notice anything?"
Shen Fu never thought that her disaster was an accident.
She has always been fine and has never had any problems with her pulse.
I'm fine, I just went to see Concubine Rong. Not long after leaving Changchun Palace, he almost died in the sedan chair.
Shen Fu didn't dare to think about what she would have experienced if the Emperor hadn't been there that day.
"I'm scared." Chen Fu wasn't sure whether it was man-made that day.
But at this moment, before the baby in her belly was born, Shen Fu could only hug the Emperor in front of her.
She clasped His Majesty's shoulders with both hands and said, "I am afraid. Someone wants to harm me."
Chen Fu always felt that this matter was related to Concubine Rong.
But she couldn't say it directly.
She could only answer vaguely: "I have heard that childbirth is extremely dangerous for women. I am just afraid that something bad might happen to me."
"I will involuntarily leave His Majesty."
"No." His Majesty has said this word countless times today.
But it has never been as heavy as this time.
"I have heard about what happened today. I will personally order a heavy guard to guard the Hehuan Palace until you give birth to the child. Not even a fly will be allowed to fly out of the entire Hehuan Palace."
His Majesty's words instantly calmed Shen Fu's heart.
With this sentence, her safety is guaranteed.
Shen Fu had just breathed a sigh of relief when the Emperor took out a safety lock from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, the child hasn't been born yet, and you've already prepared this." Chen Fu smiled when she saw the safety lock.
"When the baby is born, it won't be too late for you to send him off, Your Majesty."
"It's not for the child." Xiao Yu held the safety lock and moved in front of Chen Fu: "It's for you."
"I asked for it for you."
Xiao Yu lowered his head, took the safety lock and tied it around Chen Fu's neck. It was carefully tied around Shen Fu's neck.
The emperor, who had always been self-centered, now believed in gods and Buddhas.
I hope the safety lock can protect her safety.
"I hope to keep you safe."
It’s not about giving birth to a prince safely, but about you being safe and sound.

The farce in Hehuan Palace and Changqiu Palace naturally became the talk of the harem.
Shen Fu's place was guarded by guards and no one could get in. Most of the imperial doctors stayed in Hehuan Palace waiting for Concubine Shen to give birth.
Concubine Xiang made a fuss a few more times, but the health of the Third Prince was getting better day by day, and the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau kept saying that the Third Prince was fine.
As a result, even the imperial physician didn't believe it.
Everyone was interested in watching the show, so their eyes fell on Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Xiang Guipin received quite a few people in just one afternoon. At first she welcomed the person in happily, but after seeing that the other party was here to laugh at her, Xiang Guipin's expression changed.
Three or four waves of people came in succession. In the end, Concubine Xiang stayed indoors and refused to let anyone in.
"It's really a joke!" Concubine Xiang was so angry that she was walking around in the room.
She held the fan in her hand and shook her wrist rapidly: "Now I have become a joke in the entire harem."
Chen Fu was pregnant, but she didn't give birth early or late. She had to wait until she brought the third prince back to give birth.
Xiang Guipin thought about the way those concubines looked at her and kicked the low table in anger.
The teacup on the rosewood low table swayed slightly. Ling Chun looked at the teacup rolling down and walked forward with lowered eyes: "My queen, don't be too hasty about everything."
"As long as the Third Prince is here, let alone being an imperial physician, what can't you get from now on?"
In the past few days, whenever there was an opportunity, Ling Chun would speak well of the Third Prince in her ears.
Xiang Guipin felt as if after having the third prince, she was like the queen and had everything.
This also made Xiang Guipin's original seven points of concern for the Third Prince increase to ten points.
"Yes, I don't need to bother with those people." Xiang Guipin thought of the faces of those concubines.
She was the only one in the entire harem who had the third prince.
These people said they were here to laugh at her, but in reality they probably didn't know how much they envied her.
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but sneer.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved: "The Third Prince is feeling better today. Help me go over to see him."
Ling Chun immediately reached out and helped Concubine Xiang over.
As soon as I arrived at the side hall, I saw the young eunuch running out in a panic, holding a bowl full of medicine in his hand and rushing forward.
Concubine Xiang Guipin had no time to dodge and was caught by the young eunuch.
"How dare you!" Concubine Xiang was knocked back and almost fell to the ground. The bowl of medicine was completely poured all over her without a drop leaking out.
Concubine Xiang was so angry that her face turned pale and her complexion became numb. She looked at herself stiffly, then came to her senses and looked at the young eunuch in front of her. Xiang Guipin shouted angrily: "You dog slave! Don't you have eyes? Why are you so flustered?"
The young eunuch's face turned pale as Concubine Xiang pointed at his nose. He held the bowl without a drop of medicine in his hand and knelt on the ground weakly: "Mother, mother..."
"The Third Prince vomited again."
Xiang Guipin's face suddenly changed. Without even having time to curse, she hurried towards the inner room.
There was a foul odor in the house, like the smell of something that had been rotting for a long time.
Xiang Guipin frowned in disgust and immediately raised her hand to cover her nose.
"What's going on?" The sound of uncontrollable vomiting was heard beside the bed.
Xiang Guipin heard the sound and turned to look at the maids beside her. The wet nurses who were supposed to serve the Third Prince also stayed away from him at this time.
Seeing that Concubine Xiang was looking at them, they all avoided her eyes and no one dared to step forward to speak.
"I'll ask again, what's going on with the Third Prince?"
He was fine the past two days and could eat and drink sweet soup.
He drank the hard-to-swallow medicine sip by sip.
Concubine Xiang thought that the Third Prince would soon be better, but she didn't expect that he would start to behave like this again in just one day.
The vomiting sounds beside the bed became louder and louder, and the smell became worse and worse.
The nurse met Xiang Guipin's eyes and trembled with fear: "Your servants, we don't know either."
"When the Third Prince woke up, he suddenly became like this. Not only did he vomit up everything he ate and drank during the day, but he also vomited up everything he had eaten and drunk in the past two days."
The wet nurse fell to her knees, obviously terrified.
Concubine Xiang was furious.
She couldn't get angry, so she rushed to the inner room, enduring the stench. Just as she got there, she heard the Third Prince crying, "Mother, Mother..."
"Rui'er, my Rui'er." Concubine Xiang was covered in medicine and she no longer mind the stench.
Just as she rushed forward to hug the Third Prince, she saw the Third Prince close his eyes and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood at her.
"puff--"
Concubine Xiang fell to the ground immediately.
