Chapter 345 The second son isn't very bright to begin with; if you beat him until he's stupid, he might just become a burden.
The second prince looked at Xiao Su Bao nervously, remembering how Xiao Su Bao always stared at his mother's belly before!
He suddenly spoke up: "You're talking about my mother's belly..."
Little Su Bao was also stunned, not expecting the Second Prince to guess, and her eyes widened immediately.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, the Second Prince could easily guess what was going on.
He suppressed his panic, gripping Tang Bugui's shoulders tightly, his face slightly pale.
He had previously discovered that no matter what Xiao Su Bao said, Tang Bugui would do as the little dumpling said.
And every single time, it's never wrong!
Could it be...?
The second prince took a deep breath and then said to Xiao Su Bao, "Su Bao, my mother is the best mother in the world, and also the best empress in the world. Nothing can happen to her!"
Tang Bugui felt a pain in his shoulder, so he reached out and pried the Second Prince's hand away.
This guy is cunning to the core; he doesn't forget to pinch others even at a time like this!
In fact, the Second Prince was just acting on instinct. Upon hearing Tang Bugui's words, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Realizing something, she reached out to pick up Xiao Su Bao.
"Yes, you should go in and check on my mother, see what's wrong with her stomach!"
The second prince was so anxious that he scrambled up and down, almost unable to stand.
Tang Bugui felt a pang of heartache when he saw him like this, after all, he had witnessed the birth of the Second Prince.
He grabbed the Second Prince's wrist and reached out to hug Xiao Su Bao.
"Brother Tang, what are you doing! Hurry up and let her go see my mother!" The Second Prince looked at Tang Bugui and shouted impatiently.
He panicked, his heart filled with extreme fear. His mother absolutely could not be harmed!
The second prince was almost in tears, and his gaze toward Tang Bugui was filled with anger.
"My mother loves you the most, Brother Tang, I'm begging you!" The Second Prince was practically kneeling down.
He trusts his instincts a lot, even though he can be a jerk at times.
But when it really matters, they never let us down.
When they encountered the crisis last night, they relied on his intuition.
And then there's Xiao Su Bao. The first time he saw her, he felt that this girl was extraordinary.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but subconsciously he kept his eyes on Xiao Su Bao.
"Don't rush, let's invite Doctor Song over first. Little Su Bao is so young and not a doctor, what can she do?" Tang Bugui said, looking at the flustered Second Prince.
Little Su Bao looked at her father, the little dumpling pursed her lips, and thought to herself that she wasn't so useless after all.
The little baby tugged at Tang Bugui's sleeve.
Tang Bugui looked down at the little dumpling, and the little guy whispered, "My senior brother is very powerful, can he come over and take a look at the Empress first?"
"Good, good, someone, go and invite Doctor Song over, quickly!" The Second Prince turned his head and immediately gave the order.
A guard hurried over and, upon hearing the Second Prince's words, immediately went to find Doctor Song.
The second prince took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were still trembling slightly.
“Little Su Bao, tell your second uncle the truth, what exactly happened to your royal grandmother? Don’t worry, even if my father and mother ask me now, I won’t tell them.”
If your second uncle tells anyone, may he be struck by lightning! But please, I beg you, please don't lie to me!
Little Su Bao pursed her lips; she didn't want anything to happen to the Empress!
Tang Bugui gently squeezed Xiao Su Bao's hand, and the little dumpling looked at her father.
“You’ve already sent someone to invite Doctor Song over. His medical skills are quite good. Let him and Imperial Physician Sun take the Empress’s pulse first. Little Su Bao is just a child. Even if she has learned a little medicine, she certainly won’t be as good as Imperial Physician Sun and the others!” Tang Bugui said.
"Ah..." Just then, a scream suddenly came from inside the house.
The second prince's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly rushed inside.
"Mother, are you alright!" He rushed into the room and saw the Emperor nestled in the Empress's arms, being held in her princess-like embrace...
The scream just now came from my own father!
The second prince's tense mood instantly became incredibly complicated.
He glanced at the emperor, then at his own mother, and charged over with an air of dominance, grabbing the emperor and pulling him up.
emperor……
He finally got to be carried in a princess carry by his wife. Was it easy for him?
"You brat, what are you doing?" The emperor was furious and slapped his son on the back of the head.
The empress instinctively pulled her son over and grabbed the emperor's hand in the process.
"What are you doing? The second son isn't very bright to begin with. If you beat him and make him even dumber, he'll be a burden in the future!"
The Empress felt the resentful look in her son's eyes and coughed lightly.
She quickly pushed the second prince away, then immediately became very dignified again.
"Hey kid, what's wrong? Why did you rush in like that? What's the matter?"
The Empress looked at the Second Prince, her eyes filled with reproach.
The atmosphere was just right, and I almost kissed the old emperor, but I was suddenly interrupted. Something felt off.
The emperor glared at his son: "Yes, your mother is right. You're about to get engaged, so why are you still so impetuous? Didn't you know to look around when you came in?"
The Second Prince...
Tang Bugui stood to the side and gently covered his daughter's ears. He was used to this kind of scene!
Little Su Bao looked at the Emperor, then at the Empress, and finally at the Second Prince.
I wonder if my second uncle is even his biological son...
"The Emperor and Empress were childhood sweethearts, a young couple, and their relationship is extremely good!" Tang Bugui whispered in Xiao Su Bao's ear.
The little dumpling nodded as if it understood, but only understood that the emperor and empress had a very good relationship.
Just as Tang Bugui finished speaking, the little dumpling also saw the red threads wrapped around the emperor and empress.
The little dumpling's eyes widened instantly!
Have you ever seen red strings shaped like hearts everywhere?
That's what emperors and empresses are like!
The second prince was precisely bypassed by the red thread, and he looked somewhat disgusted...
Little Su Bao looked at this scene and felt like her eyes were about to turn into little hearts!
The little girl quickly rubbed her eyes, and the red line in front of her eyes disappeared.
"Father, why were you yelling like that just now? You scared me to death!" The Second Prince glared at the Emperor and said irritably.
emperor……
How could children understand the pleasures and interests of adults?
"Go away, it's nothing. By the way, why did you rush in like that?"
The emperor stared at his son, and he could see clearly that his son's first glance had been at the empress, not him.
The second prince looked at the empress, whose complexion looked rather unwell!
and……
The second prince reached out and took the empress's hand, asking with concern in his eyes, "Mother, have you been feeling unwell lately? Like, in your stomach or something?"
The Empress was taken aback. Looking at her anxious son, she felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes softened considerably.
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that I've been eating cold food lately, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Physician Sun has examined me and there's nothing serious!" the Empress said to her son.
The emperor, who was standing nearby, immediately became nervous and rushed to the empress's side.
"Zitong, why didn't you tell me you were feeling unwell? Someone, go and fetch Physician Sun and Doctor Song!" The emperor frowned slightly and spoke directly.
Although Dr. Song is a folk doctor, he was quite effective yesterday.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ling Buqi behind Tang Bugui. The young boy looked dazed and a little silly...
Well, he's simple-minded, but his medical skills are pretty good.
"Little Lingzi, come here and let the Empress see you too!" The Emperor said, shoving his son aside and helping the Empress to sit down on a stool.
"Father, I've already invited Doctor Song and the others over..." The Second Prince wasn't angry at all; he simply ran to the other side of the Empress.
The empress was flattered by two men, but she felt helpless.
She said to them, somewhat speechless, "I'm really fine, just a bit of a stomachache, no need to make such a fuss!"
Tang Bugui had been holding Xiao Subao without saying anything, but upon hearing the Empress speak, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it would be best to have the doctor examine her!"
The Empress was taken aback. Tang Bugui would never normally join the Emperor and the Second Prince in making a ruckus.
What's wrong with this kid today?
The Empress had no idea that when Xiao Su Bao and Tang Bu Gui were discussing this matter, the latter already had some uneasy feelings.
When he was protecting the Empress, he noticed that she frowned several times!
You have to understand the Empress's temperament; she wouldn't act like this unless she was extremely in pain!
so……
Tang Bugui's expression also became very serious.
"Your Majesty, if you feel unwell anywhere, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. You can't avoid seeking medical help!" Tang Bugui said, then looked at Ling Buqi.
Ling Buqi said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"It's alright!" The Empress stretched out her hand, and Ling Buqi took out a small medicine pillow from his bosom.
He stood aside, taking her pulse.
At this moment, Doctor Song and Physician Sun also entered, both with red eyes and very dark circles under their eyes.
"Your humble servants pay their respects..." The two were about to perform their salutations when the Second Prince interrupted them.
"Alright, alright, you two, no need for such formalities. Let's come in first and check my mother's pulse!" The Second Prince ran up to them, dragged Doctor Song and Imperial Physician Sun by the hands, and led them to the Empress.
Physician Sun didn't think much of it; he had already prescribed pills for the Empress's stomach discomfort.
Doctor Song stood quietly to the side with his head down, waiting.
After taking Tang Bugui's pulse, Ling Buqi frowned slightly. He looked in Tang Bugui's direction, or more precisely, at Xiao Su Bao.
Sure enough, their little general is extraordinary!
If the Empress's condition is delayed any longer, even a miracle won't be able to save her!
Ling Buqi didn't rush to speak, but stood aside and waited for the two senior doctors to examine him...
He's the youngest, there's no rush!
Physician Sun's medical skills were average, neither bad nor the best.
He took the Empress's pulse, and his tired expression suddenly changed slightly.
Doctor Song waited until Physician Sun finished taking his pulse before he began to act.
Little Su Bao stared intently at Doctor Song, her intuition telling her that Doctor Song could save the Empress.
"Your Majesty, have you been experiencing a dull, aching pain in your lower abdomen lately, and occasional stomach discomfort, which usually subsides after a little rest?"
The Empress nodded and said, "Yes."
"Could you please stick out your tongue so I can take a look?" Doctor Song asked softly.
The Empress stuck out her tongue, and Doctor Song took a close look, then pursed his lips and remained silent.
When the emperor saw the three men's appearance, he also realized that something was wrong.
The emperor, who had been quite relaxed, suddenly changed his expression.
He suddenly clutched his stomach and exclaimed, "Ouch, my stomach hurts too! Quickly, let me see it!"
The Empress paused, giving the Emperor a disapproving glare, but she was also getting nervous inside: "I'm fine, it's just an old ailment. You should take a look at His Majesty first; he's frail and can't take any more stress!"
The three of them then took the emperor's pulse together.
With his back to the Empress, the Emperor mouthed a warning to the three of them: "Don't talk nonsense!"
The three people nodded in a way that was difficult to discern.
"Your Majesty has been feeling a bit hot lately. Eating more cooling foods will help!" Physician Sun said, seeing that Ling Buqi and Doctor Song remained silent.
The two nodded in unison: "Yes!"
The Empress did not notice anything unusual about the three of them. Hearing that the Emperor was only slightly hot, she said, "You should eat less of that spicy red wine these next few days. I'll have someone prepare some cooling herbal tea for you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right!"
The emperor glanced at his son and gestured for him to follow him out.
After the three doctors left, the emperor said after a moment, "Oh dear, wife, you talk to that brat Bugui first, I'm going to the toilet!"
The Empress, without suspecting anything, replied, "Yes, I understand!"
She's playing with Xiao Su Bao right now and doesn't have time to pay attention to the emperor.
Look at the way the little girl is staring at me; she's quite enthusiastic.
"Why is Su Bao staring at Grandma?" the Empress asked the little dumpling with a smile.
"Ah... Su Bao... I think Grandma is so nice!" Little Su Bao finally said after holding it in for a while.
The empress was taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed.
This little girl just loves to make people laugh; she's exactly like Tang Bugui when he was a kid.
At that moment, the emperor, accompanied by several people, went to another room with a gloomy expression.
Once he was sure no one was around, the emperor's eyes instantly became very sharp.
There was a faint hint of murderous intent about it, completely different from its appearance just now.
Only now did he possess the majesty that an emperor should have.
It's not that he lacks presence, it's just that he doesn't in front of her.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
The emperor looked at his son and Ling Buqi.
The second prince remained silent; he promised not to expose Xiao Su Bao, and he would not.
Physician Sun was helpless. He was a royal physician, and he had also taken the Empress's pulse before.
But now...
Imperial Physician Sun knelt down abruptly and kowtowed to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die! Her Majesty... Her Majesty's stomach pain is not simply a matter of pain, but rather she is pregnant!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!
Apart from the few concubines who had followed him before, none of the other concubines in his harem had any children.
If the Empress is pregnant, that would be a joyous occasion!
But when the emperor saw their expressions, his brows furrowed again.
"Speak! What exactly happened?" He looked at the three of them and asked sternly.
The three of them knelt down together.
