"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Queen is well. Mother and son are safe!"
Xiaolian responded in the inner room, and Jun Lingyun felt relieved.
"Reward! Everyone present today will be rewarded heavily!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The palace maids and nuns were naturally very happy.
After a while, the thick cotton curtain was slowly put away, and Jun Lingyun finally saw the two newborn children and Chu Yunxi through a thin curtain.
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi lying weakly on the bed, but smiled at him, as if to say: Look, I said, I will be able to give birth to the two children well.
Jun Lingyun's voice was a little hoarse, but extremely gentle:
"Xier, are you still in pain?"
Hearing Jun Lingyun's somewhat choked voice, Chu Yunxi finally couldn't hold it back and tears fell down her cheeks.
It is a blessing for her to survive the disaster, and she is even more fortunate to have a good husband in this life.
A king who was strong-willed and didn't say a word even when he was injured choked up his voice because of her.
Chu Yunxi shook his head gently, his voice soft and weak:
"It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm just very sleepy."
In fact, it still hurts a lot, but compared to the pain of giving birth, the aftermath is nothing.
After she finished speaking, she couldn't hold it any longer, so she gently closed her eyes, breathed evenly, and fell asleep.
Mrs. Chu covered her with a quilt, smoothed the hair on her cheeks, and then got up to see her two grandchildren.
The elder brother is bigger, and the younger sister is smaller. Mrs. Chu looks at this one and that one, she really likes them all from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Chu couldn't figure it out. Even if she cared about the worldly view and feared disaster, how could her biological parents have the heart to kill their own flesh and blood?
If it were her, she would rather suffer all the disasters than abandon her child.
Mrs. Chu saw Jun Lingyun looking hard outside the door curtain and asked:
"Your Majesty, would you like to come in and take a look?"
Jun Lingyun then reluctantly looked away.
"No, nothing is more important than the safety of their mother and child."
Someone among the courtiers had already contracted the plague, and the child was not yet full-term, so he could not risk it.
"If it is convenient for my mother-in-law, I can stay in the palace for a few days."
Mrs. Chu said gratefully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
You must know that the palace is not a place where anyone can come if they want, let alone stay in the palace. This is a great favor from the emperor.
Jun Lingyun glanced at Chu Yunxi again, then turned around and left the queen's palace.
"Wu You, Wu Lu."
"My subordinate is here."
"Keep an eye on the Queen's palace and don't let anyone in or out. If anything happens to the Queen, report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wu You and Wu Lu took the order.
They have all heard about the fact that the Xiling Yu brothers' mansion was besieged by unruly people outside the palace today.
In order to protect the Queen and the young master, the Emperor also took great pains. They will definitely guard the Queen's palace.
Jun Lingyun glanced at Qing Feng, who had returned to life. He looked calm, knowing that Chu Wenhong should have taken care of the matter.
He then stepped out, worried that talking here would disturb Chu Yunxi.
Qing Feng hurriedly followed, not forgetting to turn around and wink at Wu Lu, signaling him not to forget to hand over the painting box.
Wu Lu looked at Wu You and wondered why Qing Feng didn't give this painting to Wu You for delivery instead of giving it to him?
The Queen gave birth to a child in a dangerous situation, and she had just escaped from danger, so how could he bother her?
Wu You returned to the palace gate and stood upright.
"Don't look at me, I don't have a female apprentice to serve the Queen."
Wu Lu blinked. Wha, what do you mean? Even the people around the emperor knew about his affair with Si Qi?
Just as Wu Wu was thinking about it, he saw Si Qi through the door curtain. She was coming to organize her medicine box outside, and she happened to glance outside and met Wu Lu's eyes.
Wu Lu grinned and waved to her quickly.
Si Qi didn't know why. He glanced at Chu Yunxi who was sleeping soundly in the inner room, then quietly walked to the door curtain and asked Wu Lu what was going on with his eyes.
Wu Lu opened a slit and handed the painting box in.
Si Qi thought it was a gift from Wu Lu. Just as she was about to be surprised, she heard Wu Lu say:
"This is a painting given to Xiaolian by Wen Yang. Please help me pass it on."
Si Qi stopped laughing and looked at Wu Lu with a death stare.
It's not that she was jealous of Xiaolian, she was just envious. Look at her, even though they were separated by a palace, they could find ways to send things in.
Those who guarded the place every day did not see Wu Lu performing his duties.
Si Qi finally rolled his eyes and took the painting in, leaving Wu Lu with his heart beating wildly.
Just now, why did he feel that he was disliked by Si Qi?
"Brother Wu You, did you just see that? Si Qi seemed to have rolled her eyes at me."
Wu You sighed with regret and asked:
"Let me ask you, is Si Qi okay?"
Wu Lu immediately nodded: "Of course."
Wu You asked: "Is it good or not?"
Wu Lu resolutely said: "Excellent."
Wu You asked again: "Do you like it?"
Wu Lu shyly approached Wu You and whispered:
"Brother Wu You, aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
Wu You crossed his hands on his chest.
"In that case, why don't you be more proactive? You still want to wait for a girl, so why don't you take the initiative to propose marriage to you?"
Proposing marriage? Yes, Si Qi has reached the age where she should get married.
Wu Lu took a deep breath and suddenly realized something. He cupped his fists and bowed:
"Thank you, Brother Wu You, for your guidance."
Wu You was quite proud, remembering that He Xiang had told him that a woman didn't ask for much, it was just her husband's active care.
Wu You curled up his lips. He was now guided by his wife. He was so sophisticated in the world, and that was a huge improvement.
Wu Lu was already planning in his mind how much betrothal gift he would prepare and how he would repair the house at home.
Si Qi took Chu Yunxi's pulse again, and seeing that she was in a stable condition, she whispered a few words to Xiaolian and pulled her back to the dormitory.
Xiaolian asked curiously:
"Siqi, what do you want to give me? Are you in such a hurry? I still have to go back and guard the Queen."
Si Qi suddenly became playful and mysterious:
"Aunt Xiaolian, someone gave you a painting. You might as well take it apart and take a look. Guess who gave it to you?"
Painting? Someone would give her a painting? She is just a maid, what does she want to paint?
Xiaolian was dubious and looked at the box containing the painting. Seeing that it was sealed with a seal, she was still a careful person.
She confirmed with Si Qi again:
"Is this really for me? Then I really broke it?"
Si Qi urged with a smile:
"Of course it's real. Take it apart and see. What kind of painting is it?"
Xiaolian really carefully opened the seal on the box and took out the painting in the box.
Si Qi leaned her head over, and Xiao Lian had no choice but to slowly open the painting, as if she was exploring an unknown territory.
But only halfway through, the movement of her hand suddenly stopped.
Is this painting about her? Xiaolian's face turned red. Isn't this a private exchange?
She didn't have time to take a closer look, so she immediately closed the painting and put it in Si Qi's arms with disgust.
