Su Liu listened to Xiao Yi's footsteps getting closer and closer, and followed He Lianqiao's instructions and hid in a large wooden box. His huge body was curled up inside the suitcase.

He Lianqiao went to the outside of the palace to greet him and said, "I am here to see your majesty."

Xiao Yi walked straight in, "I passed by Baicao Palace and was thirsty. I wanted to drink a cup of tea."

When He Lianqiao saw Xiao Yi entering the dormitory directly, his heart jumped into his throat, and he ordered the palace maid: "Come here, show your majesty some tea."

Xiao Yi looked around and saw clothes scattered outside in a wooden box.

He Lianqiao followed Xiao Yi's eyes and said, "I was sorting out my clothes just now. They were a little messy. Don't blame your Majesty."

When Su Liu in the cage heard He Lianqiao's words, he was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe for fear of making any noise.

Xiao Yi looked away and did not drink the tea handed over by He Lianqiao. He asked the nervous He Lianqiao: "If the fetus in the belly is too big, will it be extremely difficult to give birth?"

He Lianqiao nodded and said, "Yes, especially having a head that is too big is torture for the mother."

Xiao Yi asked: "Is it possible to make the fetus smaller? Can eating less make the fetus smaller?"

He Lianqiao said: "This is not necessarily true. Generally speaking, the more you eat, the bigger your fetus will be.

But there are exceptions. Some people eat no matter how much their fetuses grow, and some people don’t eat much, but their fetuses are still very large.

When Concubine Wen gave birth to her second child, she didn't want to eat or drink, but the baby's head was still very big and weighed more than eight kilograms.

It’s hard to say that the fetus can be controlled and eliminated while it’s in the womb. It’s best to let the mother-in-law strengthen her body so that she can suffer less during the birth.”

Xiao Yi couldn't help but worry. He was indeed very young when his mother-in-law passed away, but he still remembered the mother-in-law screaming in pain for a long time when she gave birth to her younger brother. He could never forget that sad and shrill voice now.

He didn't want Su Jingyan to have to endure such pain in the future.

Xiao Yi said: "I heard that your He family has a method that can specifically save pregnant women who have difficulty giving birth?

At that time, my father asked the imperial grandmother and Dr. He to save me through this method, but they were always unwilling to help?"

He Lianqiao was afraid that Xiao Yi was coming to settle accounts after the fall, so she continued: "That is the lateral incision method recorded in He's medical book... A doctor needs to use a knife to cut open the place where a woman gives birth.

In fact, it is not that our He family is unwilling to save the lives of Concubine Wen, mother and son, but that there are differences between men and women. Concubine Wen is a concubine in the palace, and my grandfather is a man and cannot do anything.

If it were a female doctor, she might be able to save Concubine Wen's life by performing a side-section."

Xiao Yi said to He Lianqiao: "Then do you know how to do this?"

He Lianqiao said: "I just took a peek in He's medical book, but I didn't remember how to do the lateral incision.

If Your Majesty can ask my grandfather to give me He's medical book, I might be able to learn it."

Xiao Yi said: "I will tell Dr. He about this."

Su Liu's legs were numb from squatting in the cage. Seeing that Xiao Yi was still asking about the birth, he could only grit his teeth and endure the numbness in his legs.

Xiao Yi looked at the cage again and said to He Lianqiao: "Why did I hear the sound inside the cage? Could it be that there are mice in it."

Su Liu in the cage: "..."

He didn't make any noise at all.

He Lianqiao said: "Maybe there are indeed rats. Your Majesty, it is better to leave. Don't get hit by wild animals."

Xiao Yi said: "No problem, you are a woman and you are more afraid of mice. Let me help you catch the mice."

"You are a noble person, how can you be allowed to touch this filth?"

He Lianqiao was really anxious, afraid that Xiao Yi would open the box.

Xiao Yi crossed He Lianqiao and walked to the cage. Just as he was about to open the cage, he heard the announcement of the Queen's arrival coming from outside.

He Lianqiao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Yi: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

When Su Jingyan entered the room and saw He Lianqiao's panicked expression, she chuckled.

He walked to Xiao Yi and said, "Have you found Liu'er? It's true that Su Liu, the harem is also a place where he can break into without permission."

Su Liu held her breath in the cage.

Xiao Yi said: "I haven't found Liu'er yet. I passed by here to ask for a glass of water, but I found a big mouse in He Lianqiao's suitcase.

I was just trying to help her catch this giant rat."

Seeing the smile in Xiao Yi's eyes, Su Jingyan pretended to be surprised and said: "There is a mouse in the palace clothes box. This is too scary. We must let the palace people catch this big mouse quickly!"
