Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 361 Twins

Wei Tianxuan kept quiet again; those four words were not spoken by him.

Emperor Qi Xiao was also impatient. "Alright, when the time is right, you should also give him a few pointers and pull him back from his impetuousness."

He suddenly realized today that he felt extremely helpless.

At least when it comes to personnel matters, apart from Yuan Cuo, there is indeed no more courageous figure.

Wei Tianxuan immediately accepted the order and left.

Emperor Qi Xiao looked at his swaying body and said, "Why does he seem to have gained a lot of weight these days?"

The shadows reflected on the ground were all a bit horizontal.

Wei Tianxuan was not thin to begin with.

Cheng Hai raised an eyebrow. How could he not gain weight after eating and drinking so well at the Liu family's house every day?

"Perhaps it was because he was working day and night to deal with the visits from the Yan and Chu states that he was overworked and thus ate more."

Emperor Qi Xiao sighed and then asked about Qin Muyan, "Have you already started helping your brother with his funeral?"

"Judging by the days, it should have already begun." Among the people Cheng Hai sent to follow Qin Muyan, there were naturally also secret guards.

"How is the Crown Prince's health?" Emperor Qi Xiao asked again.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is feeling better lately. He's been taking medicine, and the people at the Imperial Hospital say that he should be able to get out of bed in about three more months," Cheng Hai said quietly.

The Empress had initially requested a six-month rest period.

Half a year has passed, and Emperor Qi Xiao has calmed down. Perhaps the Crown Prince still has a chance.

Emperor Qi Xiao truly did not want to think about this son. If it weren't for the fact that the Empress was generous and tolerant, and was his virtuous helpmate, Emperor Qi Xiao would have wanted to kill him with a single blow.

"The people keeping an eye on the Crown Prince should try to avoid appearing when the Yan-Chu delegation arrives in the capital."

Even knowing that the Crown Prince dared not harbor any treacherous intentions, Emperor Qi Xiao remained even more cautious. In truth, he had already decided in his heart who to deal with, but things needed to be done slowly.

We can't kill too many at once, otherwise no one will be left to handle the affairs of the court.

Cheng Hai accepted the order and immediately went to give instructions.

Meanwhile, Wei Tianxuan returned to the Liu family, drenched in sweat. Gu Yu immediately offered him tea, and Xia Zhi presented him with the sweetest fruits.

“Every day I would get beaten with a stick and be full of resentment, but when I came to you, I was surrounded by beautiful women and my mouth was full of sweet dates. I couldn’t say a single unpleasant word.”

Wei Tianxuan has been living the same life for the past few days.

"Does Your Excellency dislike us servants? We can stay far away and have someone else serve you instead." Xia Zhi was sharp-tongued.

Wei Tianxuan quickly stood up and apologized, "I dare not, I am also experiencing both pain and pleasure, I just hope that you will feel more sorry for me."

Xia Zhi covered her mouth and giggled, "This servant is willing to listen. I will go and bring you a bowl of millet, pumpkin and sea cucumber porridge that Sister Gu Yu just cooked."

She spoke as she went to do her work.

Wei Tianxuan naturally thanked Gu Yu repeatedly and praised her for her excellent cooking skills.

Gu Yu's face turned slightly red. After returning half a bow, she went into the house.

Liu Yuechu had long known what this girl was thinking, but she secretly admired Wei Tianxuan and dared not say it out loud.

However, Wei Tianxuan already had a wife, and Liu Yuechu did not want her head maids to become concubines, so she never mentioned it.

"His Majesty summoned me today to ask if you really intend to receive the delegation at the city gate tower. To be honest, I'm also quite puzzled. Is it really necessary to do that? Wouldn't that be a bit too extreme?"

"Are you scared?" Yuan Cuo poured him some tea, while he slowly massaged Liu Yuechu's swollen calves. Her belly was unusually large now, and she needed to be carried around.

“Nonsense, who wouldn’t be afraid?” Wei Tianxuan naturally wouldn’t be hypocritical in front of him and spoke frankly. “But you should also be careful, sir. If you really anger those people and another war breaks out… you’ll be the one to blame. There are just too many people who want to kill you right now.”

"Then let them come as they please." Yuan Cuo wasn't worried at all. He watched as Liu Yuechu quickly fell asleep, then picked her up and carried her into the house.

When Yuan Cuo came out again, Wei Tianxuan was a little worried, "Why is her belly so big all of a sudden? I'm afraid she won't be able to give birth easily?"

They worked at the Liu family's office during this period, watching Liu Yuechu's belly grow rapidly.

Although it wasn't small before, it wasn't terrifying. Now it looks a bit scary, after all, childbirth is a life-or-death ordeal for women.

“It’s a pair.” When Yuan Cuo took her pulse, he knew it was a girl, but he didn’t expect the pulse to change so much that he realized he was carrying twins.

Wei Tianxuan was dumbfounded. "My goodness, does Madam Liu know about this?"

Yuan Cuo nodded; he had only told her about it a while ago.

Wei Tianxuan didn't dare to waste any more words. After quickly finishing his business, he hurriedly went to get to work.

When Yuan Cuo returned to the house, Liu Yuechu had already woken up. Seeing herself in bed, she asked, "Did I fall asleep again?" She had been feeling particularly tired lately, sometimes even dozing off while talking.

"Go back to sleep if you want, I'll always be here." Yuan Cuo had already taken over all the businesses of the mansion and the Liu family, and wouldn't allow Liu Yuechu to worry about anything more.

Liu Yuechu touched her chubby face. "This body has at least doubled in size. I don't know if I'll be able to get back to my previous shape after I give birth to these two little ones."

She already had fair skin.

Now I've gained more than twice my weight, and my skin is crystal clear, like oily crystal, with veins clearly visible.

"No matter what my wife looks like, I will love her as much as ever." Yuan Cuo stroked her long hair, feeling very sorry for her. He had seen pregnant women before, but unfortunately, those women were none of his concern.

Seeing Liu Yuechu's current predicament, he couldn't bear to leave her side.

“I’m fine, husband, don’t be too nervous. I can’t be like a plaster, sticking to you all day long. You still have to go to court.” She was in a daze, but she heard Wei Tianxuan’s complaints.

The court officials dared to angrily berate him during the morning court session, which clearly reflected Emperor Qi Xiao's resentment.

Yuan Cuo shook his head, "No, I will take you with me when I go to negotiate with the Chu and Yan states."

Liu Yuechu: "???"

"Isn't this inappropriate? Besides, I don't want to go either."

She was heavily pregnant and needed to be carried, so what was the point of her going to watch the Three Kingdoms negotiations?

“I’m worried about leaving you alone at home. I will go to the palace tomorrow to report to His Majesty,” Yuan Cuo said very seriously.

Liu Yuechu: "I'm still a while away from having a baby."

"Dr. Sun said that twins are very likely to be born prematurely," Yuan Cuo said.

Liu Yuechu was speechless. "Maybe he's talking nonsense."

"That's what everyone in the Imperial Medical Academy says," Yuan Cuo said earnestly.

It's almost February now, and Liu's due date is just one month away.

"Actually, are you afraid that after you leave, someone will come to your door and use me as a threat?" Liu Yuechu directly raised his concerns, after all, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had both been harmed because of his performance.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, there were far too many people who hated Yuan Cuo.
