"No, you must take medicine starting tomorrow, otherwise there may be signs of dystocia."
"No, I have to give birth to the baby even if it's difficult to give birth. You know I don't have much time."
"Who said you don't have much time left? As long as I, Bian Jishi, live for one day, I will definitely try my best to heal you, even if I lose my life, it doesn't matter."
This was the first time I saw Bian Jishi get angry, even though it was only for a short moment.
When Xiaocao came in with hot water, he returned to normal again, but I was really shocked.
Said to him softly:
"Ji Shi, since you have chosen to help me, you will help me to the end. If you do anything to harm my child, I will hire someone else."
"Empress, why are you doing this?"
The one who spoke was Xiaocao who twisted a hot towel to wipe away my cold sweat.
"Empress, Jishi knows what to do."
Bian Jishi picked up the silver needle heavily and inserted three needles into a certain acupuncture point on my back that was full of needle holes.
When Yeluzi and Hanzhan were with me just now, I took advantage of my big belly and kept lying down.
If not, I'm afraid he might have suspected something when he saw the ferocious pinprick at the back.
If I had known about this party, I shouldn’t have gone!
After Bian Jishi gave me the injection, I felt surprisingly sleepy. Xiaocao spread out my clothes and asked me to lie down. After a while, I fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Xiaocao was dozing off at the edge of the bed.
Because of me, they all really struggled.
I got out of bed lightly. Being pregnant, I thought I was incapable of carrying Xiaocao to the bed, so I could only take a mink fur cloak and put it on her body.
Xiaocao had always been a light sleeper, and the cloak had just been attached to her body.
She suddenly woke up and grabbed my hand warily. When she saw it was me, she withdrew her hand as if she was electrocuted.
"Mother, you're awake. Are you feeling better today?"
"Happy New Year, Xiaocao. This is a red envelope for you."
I took out the red envelope that I had prepared for Xiaocao yesterday and put it in her hand.
Seeing the confusion on Xiaocao's face, I had no choice but to explain:
"This is a custom in our hometown. When we meet for the first time in the new year, we say happy new year and give red envelopes. And..."
I picked up an orange and put a piece into her mouth.
"and this!"
It was cold, the oranges were sour and ice-cold, and the grass felt like spitting out after taking a bite, but I stopped it.
"This represents good luck in the new year and cannot be spit out."
"Thank you, empress."
Xiaocao swallowed the orange aggrievedly. She must have doubted in her heart whether I was playing a trick on her.
"Xiaocao, how old are you this year?"
"It's just the New Year, it's twenty."
"Twenty years old is the best age in our hometown. You are still studying, and then you happen to have a vigorous love affair on campus."
"Xiaocao doesn't understand what the empress is saying."
"It's nothing. I was thinking that in a few months I will give you your freedom. You can change your identity and stop being a killer."
"Xiaocao knows nothing but being a killer and a protector.
And there may not be anything wrong with the empress, and Imperial Physician Bian will definitely cure you."
"Let's talk about this later."
If compared to the stubborn people of ancient times, I would definitely be inferior. I know that no matter how much I talk to Xiaocao, it will not be more practical than what happened. It seems that I should make arrangements for her.
