When He Yunchu woke up again, he was already on the west floor.
There were the hurried footsteps of busy servants in the courtyard.
The candle outside seemed to have burned the impurities in the core, causing a sizzling sound.
Other than that, the whole room was quiet.
It was so quiet that she could hear another rapid breathing.
Very childish, breathing in and out very regularly.
He Yunchu moved, and through the candlelight outside, he could clearly see the swaddle beside him.
A little person, much smaller than she expected, lay next to her.
She was half-covered in a cloud quilt, with only her head and two hands exposed.
His two small hands were spread out on both sides of his head, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes closed, and his small chest rising and falling due to breathing.
He Yunchu carefully reached out his hand and lightly touched her face with his fingertips.
Probably because he felt itchy, his two little hands were raised in his sleep, and his little mouth was deflated.
Amazing.
He Yunchu thought that this was actually born of me.
Such a small one had been pregnant for ten months and had a difficult delivery for an hour.
Feeling affection in her heart, she couldn't help but move closer and gently touched the little guy's forehead with her lips.
But the slightest movement made the wound painful, and she screamed.
The maid who was guarding outside hurried in: "Miss, are you awake? I'll go tell your highness right now."
Before He Yunchu could say anything to stop him, the little maid had already disappeared.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Wei Siyun was actually in the garden.
He Yunchu turned his face away gently, lay back and held the little guy's hand, with no emotion on his face.
When Wei Siyun entered the room, he walked lightly and told the maid: "Ask the kitchen to bring the hot soup."
There were only three members of the family left in the house.
When Wei Siyun came in, what he saw was He Yunchu leaning awkwardly, mother and daughter facing each other.
Even his back looks like he doesn't want to talk to him.
Wei Siyun walked over, leaned down and put his hands on He Yunchu's shoulders, gently approached and kissed her forehead.
He Yunchu resisted and hit her with his elbow.
Let her go, Wei Siyun also knew that he should fight.
His voice was soft: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Does it hurt? I'll ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."
He Yunchu resolutely ignored him.
Wei Siyun sat down on the edge of the bed and pinched the corners of the quilt tight against her.
I really want to explain, but I don't know where to start.
Did he say that he was caught up in the marriage offer, or did he say that not a single message from the Shadow Guard reached his ears?
There were no reasons why he was not by her side today.
They're all just excuses.
"Your mother said that you already knew about the marriage. I won't defend you, but this marriage will not happen and I will not marry Lin Qingning."
He Yunchu patted the baby's hand.
Wei Siyun continued: "You should blame me, but don't be angry. You have just given birth, and being angry is not conducive to recovery."
He Yunchu still didn't speak.
At this time, perhaps because there was movement around him, the little guy raised his hands, punched a set, and opened his eyes slightly.
"嘤——"
Like a kitten, she meowed softly.
Then he mumbled and started crying.
The voice is loud and clear.
Both Wei Siyun and He Yunchu were deceived.
He Yunchu was even more stunned.
Wei Siyun didn't react in time because he didn't know what to do.
But He Yunchu was because - she didn't expect the little guy's voice to be so loud and full of energy when he cried.
Wei Siyun was rarely in a hurry and reached out to touch it: "Is she making a noise?"
The wet nurse who was standing outside hurried in, picked up the baby under the watchful eyes of the new parents, skillfully lifted up her swaddling clothes, took a look and said with a smile: "The diaper is wet, I guess the little mistress is not feeling well."
As she said this, she was about to take her to the outside room to change her: "Your Highness, talk to Miss Seven, and the old slave will come back after feeding the young master."
He Yunchu had been staring at the wet nurse's voice coming out of the room, his eyes almost greedy.
"What's wrong?" Wei Siyun helped her lie down: "I'll bring her back in a while. We'll have plenty of time to see each other again."
However, He Yunchu's brows were filled with worry, and he never loosened his frown during sleep: "Who do you think this child looks like?"
She didn't bother to talk to Wei Siyun about the marriage, and she had a very bad feeling in her heart.
This premonition was unreasonable and even ridiculous.
The moment before she passed out after giving birth, she vaguely glanced at the baby she had just taken out of her body.
It was very small, covered in blood, and still connected to the umbilical cord.
After all, she is a medical student and has measured so many human bodies and skin textures. With just one glance, she can roughly tell that the child she gave birth to is probably a little over five pounds at most.
Just now I opened my eyes and saw the swaddled baby. It was fair and clean. Although there was fat from the fetus on the skin, it looked a lot bigger.
Just a few hours.
She originally thought it was because the blood had not been washed away, making her look smaller.
But the cry just now gave her great doubts.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the child was in danger several times, and she once took two self-made miscarriage pills.
The time when she was involved in a murder case in the government, and the time when Wei Lin forcibly gave her abortion pills in the palace.
She used a lot of the special Chinese herbal medicine in that medicine, and it took effect almost immediately.
However, special medicines usually have side effects, such as causing her physical weakness in the later stages, and the baby absorbing nutrients from the mother's body very slowly...
The reason why she dared to eat food without caring about it in the late stages of pregnancy was because she knew that no matter how much she ate, the baby's absorption would only be half or even less than that of an ordinary person.
I also made preparations for the child to be born thin or weak.
But just now the child cried out with a loud voice, but it was obviously a child with normal development and good health.
This was not what she had imagined...
Of course, even when Hua Tuo was alive, there were times when his diagnosis was wrong.
Her child is healthy, and a mother only feels comfort in her heart——
She comforted herself that she was probably overthinking.
Thinking too much, Wei Siyun said that Mu Feng sent three groups of people to look for him in the palace, but he didn't receive any report. Maybe something went wrong.
Something must have gone wrong.
It has nothing to do with children.
"What's wrong?" Wei Siyun held her hand: "Your hand is very cold."
Obviously he shouldn't ask, but He Yunchu still couldn't help but said: "Have all the shadow guards that Mu Feng sent to the palace to inform you come back?"
Speaking of this, Wei Siyun's face was very ugly: "I came back, but because of your difficult childbirth, I said that I couldn't do things well, so I even killed myself."
suicide?!
She shouldn't have talked about it at this time, so Wei Siyun comforted her: "I know there is something fishy. You gave birth today. Many things are too coincidental. I will definitely find out."
Death without evidence?
He Yunchu didn't know that the world was upside down outside, so she murmured: "Is someone trying to harm the child?"
But the child is now well in the nanny's arms.
A picture flashed through her mind, and suddenly she grabbed Wei Siyun's clothes.
"Bring the baby in and show it to me, bring it in and show it to me!"
