Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Chu Chen's fever didn't go away. The doctors in the town were afraid of his noble status, and they were afraid of causing trouble to his upper body if something went wrong, so they never dared to use medicine.Mu Tiankuo was worried about Chu Chen's health, so he took people back to the East Palace that day, and brought Mrs. Rong back with him.
Now that he already knew about Mrs. Rong's existence, it was impossible to let her continue to live outside.Anyway, the East Palace is a big place, so it is quite easy to accommodate Mrs. Rong. As for whether to buy a house for her in the future, or to live in the East Palace all the time, we can discuss it slowly when Chu Chen recovers from his illness.
On the way back, everyone had already learned about the baby's life experience. Mrs. Rong was kind-hearted and shed a lot of tears for this.Chong Yang and Ling'er also cried together, and everyone was quite sad for a moment, not only felt sorry for the girl who had lost her parents since she was a child, but also felt sorry for the young couple who both died.It wasn't until they arrived at the East Palace that everyone gradually calmed down.
Mu Tiankuo was busy taking care of Chu Chen, and didn't care about the child for a while, so Mrs. Rong offered to help take care of the baby first.
The little baby was born prematurely, and looked a little weak physically, but after being fed by the nurse, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"The little guy is so beautiful." Chongyang sat around the crib, teasing him with a silly smile.
"I hope she will be safe in the future and live a long life." Ling'er said.
Mrs. Rong stood by, looked at the little baby lovingly, and said: "This child will be raised by Shen'er's side in the future, and we will love her as our own. Don't let her suffer any more."
Ling'er was straightforward, and whispered: "If Your Highness and the others have their own children in the future, will they ignore her?"
"Your Highness has long..." Chongyang was halfway through his speech when he realized that Mrs. Rong didn't know about Chu Chen's pregnancy, so she didn't know whether to tell her or not.However, Chu Chen was now brought to the bedroom by Mu Tiankuo, and he was afraid of disturbing his recuperation, so no one was allowed to disturb him. Chongyang wanted to talk to Chu Chen, but he could only hold back aggrieved.
His Royal Highness is now being tightly controlled by Mu Tiankuo, without any freedom at all!
After a while, Lu Jing also came over, Mrs. Chaorong invited Ann, and took another look at the baby.
After Chongyang asked, he learned that Lu Jing just went to see Chu Chen, and Mu Tiankuo drove him out.
"Little Marquis Lu, you said that our Highness would suffer...how much wronged by following that person." Chongyang said with a bitter face.
Lu Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know who used to live in this small courtyard where Mrs. Rong is housed?"
"I don't know, but it looks quite particular." Chongyang said.
"They packed up this small courtyard for your Royal Highness to live in before their wedding, but Mu Tiankuo directly vacated his bedroom for Chu Chen, so this small courtyard has been empty." Lu Jing said: "You Do you know where Mu Tiankuo lives?"
"He... doesn't he live with His Royal Highness?" Chongyang asked.
"He lives in a hut next to the sleeping hall, which is smaller than where I live." Lu Jing said, "But it's closer to your highness."
Chongyang was surprised when he heard the words, he was stupid and didn't think much about the meaning of these words for a moment.On the other hand, Lu Jing only learned about these things from Lin Dong today. Before that, he was suspicious of Chu Chen, saying that the place where Chu Chen lived looked quite luxurious, and it might be the place where Mu Tiankuo's golden house hides his beauty. Unexpectedly, it was Mu Tiankuo's own bedroom.
On the first day Mu Tiankuo took him into the East Palace, he let Chu Chen live in his bedroom. What this meant was self-evident.In the entire East Palace, only Lu Jing and Chu Chen didn't understand, so they kept guessing, and "arranged" many "crimes" for Mu Tiankuo with a villain's heart.
"Young master Lu means..." Chongyang seemed to have not understood yet.
Lu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness...you can't bear any grievances, so just keep your heart in your stomach."
Chongyang nodded dubiously when he heard the words, although he would not doubt what Master Lu said, but when he thought of Mu Tiankuo, his mind was full of images of the other party holding him hostage and threatening him to give Chu Chen medicine.Chongyang felt that he might not be able to treat Mu Tiankuo with a normal heart in this life, but as long as Mu Tiankuo is good to his Highness, nothing else seems to matter...
Anyway, they are all living in the East Palace now, so he can tell whether it is a mule or a horse!
dorm.
The imperial physician was helping Chu Chen to diagnose the pulse, while Mu Tiankuo stood by without saying a word.
"His Royal Highness, it is raining and frightened, that's why he has a fever." The imperial doctor said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will prescribe some medicines to help His Royal Highness recuperate within three to five days. It will probably be fine.”
Mu Tiankuo nodded when he heard the words and asked, "Why is he still unconscious?"
"The princess should be tired and have a fever. She is not in a coma, but just sleepy," said the imperial physician.
Mu Tiankuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, the imperial physician prescribed the prescription, but he did not leave for a long time, with a troubled look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.Seeing this, Mu Tiankuo raised his heart again, and asked, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"
"Return to Your Highness." The imperial physician groaned, and knelt down in front of Mu Tiankuo with a plop.
Mu Tiankuo was shocked, and asked: "What's going on, don't hesitate!"
The imperial doctor said tremblingly after hearing the words: "I don't know if it's because the old minister's medical skills are incompetent... When I checked the princess's pulse just now, I found out the happy pulse. The old minister is incompetent. Please send the doctor Liu from the imperial hospital to come for a diagnosis. He is here. A little better at it.”
When the imperial doctor said this, he was very worried. As we all know, the Crown Princess came to Wangcheng less than a month ago, so no matter what, it is impossible for her to be pregnant for nearly three months.That being the case, the child must have been conceived during the time of Da Chu, and it is unknown who the child is.
So even though his diagnosis was certain, but in order to take Mu Tiankuo's face into consideration, he could only hesitate to speak too harshly. If Mu Tiankuo had other plans, he could still find a way out for himself.
Unexpectedly, Mu Tiankuo didn't get angry when he heard the words, but asked: "Prince Princess... when will she be pregnant, can she be diagnosed?"
"I... I am not talented, the diagnosis must be... nearly three months." The imperial physician said bravely.
Nearly three months...
Three months ago, Mu Tiankuo was still in the palace.
Then this child... is indeed Mu Tiankuo's.
Mu Tiankuo looked at Chu Chen, with mixed feelings in his heart, both self-blame and remorse.
Seeing Mu Tiankuo's expression, the imperial physician was quite puzzled.
Why is His Highness the Crown Prince not only not angry, but rather excited when someone puts on a cuckold?
"The princess is suffering from the wind and cold now, will it affect the fetus?" Mu Tiankuo asked.
"The most important thing for a pregnant person is the first three months. If you are not careful, you may have the risk of a miscarriage." The imperial doctor said: "Luckily, the fetus in the princess's womb has passed the most dangerous time, otherwise it will be difficult in the next few days. After a lot of tossing, I probably can't keep it."
Mu Tiankuo said: "From today onwards, you and Imperial Physician Liu will work together to protect the Crown Princess' pregnancy. The Crown Princess' diet and daily life, as well as the imported food and soups, will be delivered to him only after you have inspected them. If there is any accident in the Crown Princess' body, only You two are asking!"
"Yes." The imperial doctor hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.
After sending off the imperial physician, Mu Tiankuo still couldn't calm down.
Chu Chen was pregnant with his child, of course he was happy.
But at the same time, he felt a little apprehensive and anxious.
When Lu Jing saw Mu Tiankuo again, he saw a sad expression on his face, without the slightest joy of being a father for the first time.
"His Royal Highness should already know, right? Why are you still frowning?" Lu Jing asked.
"Young Lord, there is one thing I don't know." Mu Tiankuo asked: "Since this child is lonely, why has he been refusing to tell me all this time, and even brought the medicine for abortion with him?"
Lu Jing said, "Has His Royal Highness ever doubted the origin of this child?"
"Yes." Mu Tiankuo said calmly: "You already have a marriage contract, Gu knows that you are interested in him, and he is not a person who sticks to small details, so...is it not surprising that Gu has this doubt?"
Lu Jing pursed her lips when she heard this and said, "Sometimes Lu must tell the Crown Princess to hear this, lest Lu has never even touched someone's hand, and suffers such injustice for nothing. If the Crown Princess knows about this, The mood should be quite exciting.”
Mu Tiankuo: ...
You can but don't have to.
"You haven't answered Gu's question yet." Mu Tiankuo asked.
"He didn't tell you because he was afraid that you wouldn't admit it." Lu Jing said, "I'm afraid that you might be ashamed of being a male favorite, and this child is the only evidence that you have stayed in his house. If you mind Of course, you can't keep this child from that experience, even he himself...'
Mu Tiankuo was startled when he heard the words, he never thought that Chu Chen would have such thoughts.
"Gu never told him about this, how could he..." Mu Tiankuo frowned.
"You didn't say it, but they have thought about your situation." Lu Jing said: "Plus the glass of poisoned wine at the palace banquet, let alone him, even I thought so."
It's just that Chu Chen didn't expect that Mu Tiankuo's situation after returning to Yao Kingdom was not as rough as he thought.On the contrary, Mu Tiankuo's return to the country not only did not have too many obstacles, it could even be said to be what everyone expected.
Of course, this is mainly due to the relatively simple interpersonal relationships in the Yao royal family.The emperor has only one partner, the empress, and one of the empress's only two children has died, and Mu Tiankuo is the emperor's only legitimate son, or even the only parent-child.In addition, he endured humiliation in Dachu for six years, and acted vigorously and resolutely after returning to the country. In just over a month, he established his prestige in the court.Even the courtiers who had criticized him before couldn't find any faults afterwards.
When Mu Tiankuo was mentioned by Lu Guan, Mao Sai suddenly understood.
Everything that he hadn't thought clearly before was instantly explained.
With Chu Chen's temperament, how much grievance would he have to suffer to achieve this step!
As long as Mu Tiankuo thought of Chu Chen's uneasiness and fear these days, he would feel distressed.
"Ninth brother! Hero!" Mu Tian/Xing walked towards the two of them leaning on a crutch.
When Mu Tiankuo saw him, he frowned and said, "Didn't you let you recuperate in the mansion? What are you doing here again?"
"I'll come and see my sister-in-law." Mu Tian/Xing said as he was about to run to the bedroom.
Mu Tiankuo reached out and grabbed him to pull him back, and said, "Your sister-in-law is tired and is resting."
"Then I'll go see the little baby." Mu Tian/Xing turned around and took two steps, then asked again: "Where is she?"
"You go home to recuperate, and don't let her see you, lest she learn your faults when she grows up." Mu Tiankuo said.
"No... I..." Mu Tian/Xing Wenyan was quite unconvinced, but Mu Tiankuo was annoyed in his heart and didn't have the patience to deal with him at all, so he said to Lu Jing: "Please help the young master to throw people out. In order to prevent him from hurting his other leg by himself."
Hearing this, Lu Jing held back a smile, hugged Mu Tian/Xing and walked out.
Mu Tian/Xing looked unhappy, and struggled: "What's the big deal! Don't think that you have children in your family!"
"That's right, if Your Highness likes children, it's a big deal to give birth to one for fun!" Lu Jing laughed.
"What did you say?" Mu Tian/Xing asked.
Lu Jing was stunned, remembering that Chu Chen mentioned a few words about Mu Tian/Xing's life experience to him on the way back, thinking that he had poked him in a sore spot, and immediately felt a little regretful, just when he was about to make up a few words, he heard that Mu Tian/Xing Asked, "Can I have children, too?"
Lu Guan: ...
Can you give birth? I haven't tried it. How can I know?
