Rong Zhan carried Yuan Xi all the way back to Zichen Palace, and after putting Yuan Xi on the bed, Rong Zhan felt that his arms were so sore that he could barely lift them. He couldn't care about himself, so he hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her, and leaned down to comfort her.

"It hurts to death...... Yuan Xi's forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, his face was miserable and pale, and even his lips were bitten and bloodless.

"Bear with me a little longer, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon. Rong Zhan didn't care about any handkerchief, and directly wiped the cold sweat off her head with his sleeve. She was almost breathless in pain, Rong Zhan was a little worried, the last time she was in the palace, she fell off such a high platform, and it hurt very badly, and that time she was red, Rong Xi secretly lifted the quilt and took a look, the dress was still clean, and there was no blood.

A stone in Rong Zhan's heart fell to the ground. He leaned down and comforted her: "The pain is uncomfortable, and you bite my hand." ”

He sent his hand to Yuan Xi's lips, and she was naturally reluctant to bite, like a little beast with teeth that had not yet grown, gnawing on a bone many times larger than her mouth.

Mother Zhong hurriedly asked someone to fry a pair of the decoction prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang before, and brought it hot. Rong Zhan put his arm around her and fed her a bowl. The medicine was very bitter, just smelling the smell, Rong Zhan felt that the root of his tongue was hard. But she didn't complain, and drank the medicine in a few sips.

The medicine was bitter and good for the disease, although it was difficult to swallow, but the medicine was still good, and after only a while, she was not as painful as just now. Lying on the couch sideways, looking at Rong Zhan weakly.

Rong Zhan stroked her damp hair and asked softly, "Are you better?"

Won-hee easily came to his senses, lying weakly in the soft quilt, he fell on Won-hee's body properly, and pressed the quilt tightly against her with his arms. The space is cramped, and Won-hee is a little unable to move.

Seeing her nodded, Rong Zhan gently stroked her hair and comforted: "That's fine, when the imperial doctor comes, you still have to let the imperial doctor take a look, otherwise I won't be at ease." ”

Imperial Physician Wang was not in the palace, only Imperial Physician Xu was on duty at the Imperial Hospital. It's okay to do this, with Rong Zhan here, no one dares to do anything or play any tricks.

Imperial Physician Xu knelt down in front of the thick curtain and said, "Your Majesty, the micro-minister Xu Xinglin has come to ask the master for a pulse." ”

"Come in. Rong Zhan commanded softly.

"Don't ......" Yuan Xi struggled and grabbed Rong Zhan's sleeve, this sudden toss startled Rong Zhan, hurriedly grabbed her, and whispered: "What's wrong? Imperial Doctor Xu is also a good hand in Xinglin, just ask for a pulse, it's okay." ”

"Don't, I don't...... You let go of me, let go of ......" Yuan Xi twisted his body uneasily, which made Rong Zhan's heart uneasy.

Mother Zhong suddenly remembered what Dr. Wang said last night when she was diagnosing her pulse, Yuan Xi was pregnant with twin sons. One birth and two sons are regarded as ominous. If he was diagnosed by other imperial doctors, wouldn't he make it public?

The master said that this matter should not be known to anyone except the imperial doctor.

Mother Zhong was a little afraid, looking at Yuan Xi who was curled up in Rong Zhan's arms, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it is not a loss to be the master, and the reaction is really much faster than ordinary people. Before she could react, the master had already thought of a way to prevaricate.

Mother Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the master must have been frightened today and didn't want outsiders to disturb him. ”

"What kind of outsider is not an outsider, just hurt like that, don't let the imperial doctor see how it can be?" Rong Zhan said while caressing Yuan Xi, trying to calm her down: "Just check the pulse, isn't it okay not to take his medicine?"

"Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the slave and maid, let's ask someone to invite the imperial physician to come. On weekdays, Imperial Physician Wang is responsible for pranayama of the master's body, and even though Imperial Physician Xu is skilled in medicine, he must not know much about the master's pulse case on weekdays. It is better to invite Imperial Physician Wang to come, which can be regarded as the right medicine. Presumably, the master can also feel at ease. ”

Yuan Xi crouched in Rong Zhan's arms, gasped shallowly for a while, and said, "I don't believe anyone except Imperial Doctor Wang." ”

"Just take the pulse ......," Rong Zhan said tentatively.

Yuan Xi still shook his head resolutely: "If it weren't for Imperial Physician Wang, I wouldn't have looked at it." ”

Rong Zhan shook his head helplessly and ordered Imperial Doctor Xu to retreat first. He also asked Ling'er to send someone to hurry up to invite the imperial doctor, and after everything was done, he bowed down and comforted: "Is this okay?"

Yuan Xi nodded, held Rong Zhan's hand, and said, "Ah Zhan, tell them all to go out, I have something to tell you." ”

Rong Zhan replied and retreated. He leaned down and said, "You're just a little better, why don't you sleep for a while, wake up, and talk to me again." ”

Yuan Xi shook her head tiredly, and Rong Zhan helped her turn over.

"What the hell is going on?"

Won-hee grabbed his hand and covered it on his lower abdomen. The child was no longer as restless as just now, Rong Zhan caressed her soft abdomen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah Zhan, don't you think my belly is a little big?"

Rong Zhan stared at her for a while, remembering what she had said to herself, people are ugly when they have a big belly. I laughed out loud, "Why do you ask this again? Didn't I say it? I like what you look like." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and paused: "There is something that I just knew, but I don't know how to tell you." ”

Rong Zhan was stunned for a moment and said, "Between us, is there anything else we can't say?"

"Ah Zhan, would you regard giving birth to one son and two sons as ominous?"

Rong Zhan paused slightly: "One birth and two sons?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "I have been busy with gold mines in Donglin Prefecture before, and then I raised swords in Guiyunzhou. I haven't been able to take care of my body, I didn't feel well a few days ago, and my belly seems to be bigger than someone else's four-month-old only son, so I have suspicions. Last night, I asked Imperial Doctor Wang to come over quietly to check the pulse. She slowly climbed up Rong Zhan's arm and said, "Ah Zhan, what I am pregnant with this time may be a twin." ”

No wonder, no wonder he also thinks Won-hee's belly is bigger than the average person. Rong Zhan was a little surprised, and put his hands on her lower abdomen, could it be that in this soft lower abdomen, there were actually two children pregnant? This feels a little novel, isn't it a joy to have two children at once?

"You mean, you're carrying ......," he laughed like a child.

"Don't you think that giving birth to two sons, such as six animals, is a bad omen?" Yuan Xi frowned slightly.

He was indulging in the joy of the twins, and when he heard Won-hee ask him, he shook his head lightly: "How come? If you give me three births at a time, then I will only be even happier." But that will hurt you. ”

"I thought you'd be frowning when you hear the twins, like everyone else. ”

Rong Zhan stared at her for a moment and smiled lightly: "How come?" He leaned down and rubbed Yuan Xi's cheek: "Is it really a twin?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "That's what Imperial Doctor Wang said, and Mother Zhong also said that it looks like it." ”

"That's good. Rong Zhan put his ear on her lower abdomen, but he couldn't hear anything yet.

"So you drove away Imperial Doctor Xu just now, were you afraid that he would diagnose it?" Rong Zhan raised his head and helped her sit up.

She nodded, leaned on the two soft pillows, and gently stroked her lower abdomen: "I'm afraid that this matter will spread, even if the emperor is not taboo, but the Queen Mother, as well as Concubine Zhao, and the courtiers in the court who are hostile to my Shangguan family, they will not think like this." They're going to think I'm a wicked person and they're going to make a big fuss about it. I'm afraid that our children will be poisoned by them before they are born. ”

When Yuan Xi said this, Rong Zhan couldn't be happy. He can not be taboo about the matter of twins, but this does not mean that the customs and etiquette of Da Chu are not taboo. In this palace for a hundred years, since the founding of the Great Chu, there has never been a matter of twins, and there are twins among the people, but most of them want to drown one of them. A boy and a girl are better, but if you give birth to two boys, you will survive one, and if you give birth to two girls...... Not to mention the child, even the mother has to be named a ghost and god with too much yin by the neighbors.

That's a real nuisance.

Rong Zhan sat on the bed with his back to her. Yuan Xi gently leaned on his back and hugged him from behind: "Ah Zhan, I beg you, you must save my child." ”

"Now, as you get older, your belly is becoming more and more obvious. If people with ulterior motives see it, it will be detrimental to your mother and son," Rong Zhan turned around, stopped her waist, and said softly: "If you want to keep the child, you have to keep the secret of the twin children until you give birth smoothly." So that no one can see your belly, or from tomorrow onwards, you will move to the Lake Center, how about it?"

Huxin Pavilion, which is a pavilion built on a small island in Chunming Lake in the palace, has a total of more than ten rooms. There are no neighbors in all directions, only green waves surround. If you want to go to the Lake Center Pavilion, you must take a boat. There are very few people who go to the Huxin Pavilion on weekdays, except for the emperor who occasionally takes a boat to the Huxin Pavilion to enjoy his leisure time, basically no one will go there.

The Huxin Pavilion was built by the first emperor, and there are all kinds of beds and study rooms inside, but compared with other splendid palaces in the palace, it is a bit simple. It's still a bit cold in winter, but luckily, it's spring and the weather is getting warmer. In the summer, I stayed in the middle of the lake, and I just felt a little damp, and it wasn't too much trouble.

Rong Zhan said, and shook his head again: "Huxin Pavilion is too simple, it is really inconvenient for you to live in that kind of place with a child." That's it, let me think of another way. ”

"The Lake Pavilion is already very good. Yuan Xi looked at him gently: "Just do it, there are few people there, it is inconvenient to come and go, and it is a safe place for children." Besides, the former emperor also used to cool off in the Huxin Pavilion and review the chapters. The necessities of life are quite complete. ”

"No, no, the Huxin Pavilion is still too simple, there are only a dozen rooms, what is it for?" Rong Zhan shook his head again and again.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "I'm going to avoid people and wait for childbirth, why do you want so many houses? As long as there are few people, it's enough." ”

"That ......" Rong Zhan frowned, still hesitating.

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "It's decided." ”
