Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 573 An unexpected person appears again

After the fetal position was reversed, Sikong Wan gave birth much faster than expected.

Everything is going smooth.

But Murong Jiu didn't dare to be careless at all.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after everything was done and the master had examined the newborn baby.

"Awan, how do you feel? Are you tired? Are you hungry? Are you in pain?"

Lou Zixi only took one look at the child and then held Sikong Wan's hand tightly, with deep love and heartache in her deep eyes.

Sikong Wan shook her head. Apart from the excruciating pain she felt when turning the baby from her belly back to the normal fetal position, everything else was fine.

Compared to that, the pain of opening the bones during childbirth didn't seem that painful.

After the severe pain, the rest of the pain can be ignored.

The child was born more than half a month premature, weighing only 5.62 kg. Fortunately, everything was fine and he was developing well. Because the child was small, the birth was not difficult and he didn't even have any lacerations.

"Look how loudly the child cries."

Murong Jiu smiled and held the child in his arms.

The newborn baby was wrinkled, with a red body and face, but the facial features could already be distinguished, and he looked quite like Lou Zixi.

"Husband, I want to see our child. Can you bring him to me?"

This was the child she had given birth to at great pains. Not only that, she had poured all her love into him since she became pregnant with him.

She cherishes this hard-earned child very much.

Lou Zixi carefully took the child from Murong Jiu's hands, and he held the child quite properly.

Murong Jiu laughed at him: "Have you ever learned how to hold a baby? Do you know how to support the back of the neck?"

Sikong Wan covered her lips and smiled, "We tried it with the doll every day before, so we have some experience."

Not to mention Murong Jiu, even Doctor Zhai standing beside him laughed.

The situation in the room was under control, and Mrs. Sikong wanted to come in to see her daughter and grandson. After coming in, she looked at her daughter with heartache and tears fell.

"Your father and I were really scared today. How could you fall down for no reason and have a difficult delivery? God bless you, thank the Queen, thank you Doctor Zhai. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."

Murong Jiu helped Madam Sikong, who was about to bow to her, up.

"This is a man-made disaster. Someone deliberately wanted to harm Wan'er. Saffron was put in the chicken soup that was sent to her. Someone wanted Wan'er to die of hemorrhage during childbirth."

"what!"

Lou Zixi apologized to Madam Sikong: "Mother-in-law, it's all my son-in-law's fault for not keeping the house strictly, allowing someone to get away with it."

Madam Sikong did not blame him: "I know your ability. Wan'er also told me that the servants in your house are all well-known. The maids assigned to Wan'er are also skilled in martial arts. Those two maids are still kneeling outside the yard."

Sikong Wan fell down next to a maid. Even if someone did it on purpose, it was still due to the poor protection of these two maids.

Besides, these two people have not yet been cleared of their guilt.

Now everyone is under suspicion.

Lou Zixi said: "Now that Wan'er has successfully given birth to Lin'er, I am in a good mood to deal with this matter. I will definitely find this person out."

Madam Sikong naturally believed him.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew his strength. The emperor and empress also held him in high esteem. Even her husband was full of praise for this son-in-law.

"It's good that everything is fine. It's best if Wan'er and the child are fine. Just do whatever you want to do." Lou Zixi had already sealed off the entire mansion, and not even a fly could fly out.

Murong Jiu planned to go back with his master and uncle first. The two of them were old, especially Uncle Miao. Although he had recovered from the serious injury, he was fundamentally injured. His energy and blood were obviously not as good as before, so he still needed to rest more.

"Please send me to the hospital. I am old and I don't think I will live for many days. I might as well save more ordinary people while I can still move and atone for my previous sins."

Doctor Miao had long since let it go and no longer had the anger he once had.

After walking through the gates of hell, I realized that all the hard work I had throughout my life was nothing in the end. When I reached the end, I realized that there was not enough time.

"I'll have someone deliver it."

At this time, a tall and handsome figure came in from outside the yard. Murong Jiu curled his lips when he heard the voice and turned his head to look. Who else could it be but Jun Yuyan.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone wanted to salute, but Jun Yuyan raised his hand to stop them, "No need to be so polite, I came to the Lou Mansion specially to congratulate you."

He also came to pick up his queen and bring her back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, didn't you go to the military camp? Why did you come back so soon?"

Jun Yuyan said seriously, "There's nothing going on in the military camp. On the way back, I heard that Lord Lou had a son, so I came to congratulate him."

In fact, of course, it was because he heard that Madam Lou had given birth prematurely and Lou Zixi went outside the palace to ask the Queen for help. He was worried that the matter was too difficult, so he hurried over on horseback to check the situation.

"Just now, Lord Lou was in the outer courtyard investigating the incident of Madam Lou falling and giving birth prematurely. The crime of murdering the family of an official appointed by the court is unforgivable. Queen, please accompany me to the outer courtyard and wait for a while to see who is so bold."

When Murong Jiu heard this, he knew that this matter might not be simple.

Besides, this courtyard is the rear residence. Jun Yuyan is the emperor and also a foreign man, so it is not convenient for him to stay here.

If he hadn't come to see me, he would definitely not have come in.

"Alright."

Murong Jiu nodded.

Jun Yuyan immediately arranged for people to send Doctor Miao and Doctor Zhai back first.

Senior Brother Cheng stayed and went to the outer hospital. He was good at gynecology and had experience in delivering babies. He also accepted two female apprentices so that he could be more convenient when delivering babies.

Although Sikong Wan's condition has stabilized, she still has to be careful. She has maids, nannies, and a young doctor by her side so that she can call a doctor in time if anything happens.

Lou Zixi acted with swift and decisive action, and with the presence of his father-in-law Sikong Fu, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, the person who committed the crime in secret was quickly found.

It turned out to be a little maid with dark skin, thin and honest look, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

As soon as Murong Jiu saw her eyes, he had a strange premonition in his heart, even though the other party lowered her head and her eyes were full of tension and fear.

Jun Yuyan was the same. The two looked at each other, and their hearts became heavy.

He said, "Lord Sikong and Lord Lou stay, the rest of you can go out."

After everyone left, Jun Yuyan asked Lou Zixi to explain the identity and origin of this woman.

"Her name is Ailian. She is fifteen this year. Her parents are both slaves in the mansion of the criminal. She is a house-born child. The criminal confiscated their home two years ago, and the three of them were bought back by my housekeeper. They have always been honest and hardworking. They usually do the cleaning work in the outer courtyard."

"How did Lord Lou know it was her who did it?"

"Everything you do will leave clues. Indeed, no one saw her go to the garden, and no one saw her go to the kitchen, but someone saw her spying on Wan'er and me many times these days. This is the biggest anomaly."

"I just admire you, sir, but I have never done anything that is against the law! I am innocent!"
