13. Birth

"That's right, my eldest brother is still alive, the emperor can't think of it, right?" Tao Zhiyuan's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Yun Yi was stunned, and felt ashamed for a while, she couldn't even protect her family, could she still ask her for forgiveness?

Tao Zhiyuan looked at his lost appearance, and felt not happy, and sorted out the bad emotions for a while before speaking again: "It's time to drink the medicine, I'll ask Qianxue to bring it in." She turned and walked out, leaving only Yunyi's lonely back.

Is that good or bad? She took care of herself, but she didn't feel the same way before, and the despair at that time was indelible in her heart, right? So what should he do?

**

In July, the weather was even hotter, and just after the nap time, Tao Zhiyuan and Zhou Luying went to Xiyun Pavilion together.

The sky is blue and cloudless, which makes people feel better.

Zhou Luying affectionately held Tao Zhiyuan's hand, since Yun Yi told Zhou Luying that she was still alive, the two of them have become closer, and the Queen Mother's condition has also improved a little, with Tao Zhiyuan's adjustment, Yun Yi also began to go to Yongshou Palace more.

And the even better news is that Rong'er is also pregnant.

In the blink of an eye, they came to Xiyun Pavilion, and someone had already come to inform Rong'er, and Rong'er had prepared snacks and was waiting for their arrival.

The three of them were exempt from the common rites and sat down together.

"Just now, Imperial Doctor Chu came to take the pulse of peace, and everything is fine." Rong'er touched her slightly bulging belly and smiled with satisfaction, this is the best gift God has given her.

"It's been four months, right? Really looking forward to it. Zhou Luying said hopefully.

Rong'er nodded: "Yes, it's been more than four months." "Her menstrual affairs are not accurate, several times Wei Manhui checked the history of Tong, and was afraid that she was pregnant, and she made a fuss a few times, so she also relaxed, I didn't think that this time it really was, even she couldn't believe it, maybe this way, she could give her the biggest surprise.

"But the queen has been around for five months, and it's not good......" Zhou Luying sighed.

God just loves to fool others like this, providence.

Rong'er also smiled, although she didn't understand the government, she still knew the seriousness of this, "If the queen's womb is a boy, then the position of the prince ......"

"It's okay anyway, there will be a way out anyway, you, don't worry about this, take care of the fetus and have a healthy baby." Tao Zhiyuan said very easily, but she was also very worried in her heart, I don't know if Rong'er's pregnancy at this time is good or bad, if Wei Manhui really gives birth to a boy, how will Rong'er live a good life in the future?

Rong Er smiled reluctantly, didn't think much about it, so as not to worry about herself, and then told them some inconsequential things, and they left Xiyun Pavilion, at this time Rong Er's brows were tightly locked, and she didn't see the relaxed appearance just now.

I kept thinking about the conversation with Chu Zixiao just now, and I was uneasy.

……

"Niangniang, this is a taboo in the palace, and I can't do it." Chu Zixiao refused, and her position was obviously very firm.

With tears in her eyes, Rong'er kept stroking her stomach and said, "I don't know, but this is about the emperor's country, and Imperial Doctor Chu should know better than me." ”

"You can't use the method of birth either! There's always another way! Chu Zixiao's tone was slightly heavy, forgetting to be humble.

"Then is there any other way for Imperial Physician Chu?" Rong'er stared at Chu Zixiao, and when she saw Chu Zixiao's solemn face, her expectations turned into disappointment, and then she said, "If I give birth to a girl, it's fine, but boy, isn't it going against the queen?" First of all, it doesn't matter if the queen is a boy or a girl in her belly, if she gives birth to a boy, she is naturally the prince, then there is no room for anyone to compete for the crown prince, if it is a girl, can the queen still let my child be born? ”

Chu Zixiao was silent, how could he not know what even Rong'er knew? But the method of spawning is really ......

Seeing that Chu Zixiao was a little shaken, Rong'er continued: "The only way now is to let my child be born early. ”

"But does the mother know? The method of giving birth is not only harmful to the child, but also the mother may also ......" Chu Zixiao wanted to speak and stopped, giving birth is harmful to the mother and the child, so it will be listed as a taboo method.

"It's good that the child is safe, what more could I ask for." Rong'er smiled brightly, "I used to put my family in the middle of fire and water, I used to be so willful, I can't do it for myself anymore, I want to be a qualified mother, so that he can grow up happily." ”

Chu Zixiao is gloomy, every mother has a way to love her children, Tao Zhiyuan's is different, Rong'er's is different, how does he choose? This is against his medical ethics, and he looked at Rong'er again, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

"Imperial Doctor Chu, I beg you, now only you can help me." Rong'er pleaded.

Chu Zixiao stared at her for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed, "Weichen will prepare a decoction and an acupuncture, and if you stick to it, the child can be born early." However, the mother should be mentally prepared. ”

Rong'er nodded, with a grateful face: "Then it will bother Imperial Doctor Chu." ”

Chu Zixiao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, his heart was very heavy, could he say that he had no selfishness? Didn't he think of Zhou Luying at that moment?

"But I hope Imperial Doctor Chu doesn't tell anyone about this matter." Rong'er knew that if Tao Zhiyuan knew, she would definitely oppose it.

"Wechen will keep it a secret, please rest assured." Chu Zixiao promised.

Hearing Chu Zixiao's promise, Rong'er was relieved.

……

Thinking of this, Rong Er looked at the courtyard of Xiyun Pavilion, the green trees were verdant, and the vitality was so tenacious, how good it would be if human life was the same.

From the moment she met Yunyi, she knew that she couldn't extricate herself, even if she knew she was a stand-in, so what? At least she had enjoyed his tenderness, the kind of tenderness that made her sink. When she entered the palace, Yun Yi was under pressure, Wei Manhui's opposition, and the courtiers' play, only Yun Yi was carrying it, and she couldn't do anything, until now, she was finally able to do something for Yun Yi.

Even if she leaves unexpectedly, then at least Yun Yi remembers her existence, that is enough, she is not qualified to enter the palace, but now she can still be favored by Yun Yi, God is very good to her.

But what will happen in the future? Will the child be born safely? The more she thought about it, the more headache she had, she simply didn't think about it anymore, anyway, Chu Zixiao would arrange it for her, wouldn't she? Now that she has decided, she won't regret it. For the sake of Yunyi, for the sake of the child, she can only do this.

My child, do you hear me? Working with Mother, this is our struggle for survival and for your father.
