Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 575 The amniotic water broke
Murong Jiu burst out laughing.

"It's normal for your period to be a few days late or early. You don't think I'm pregnant, do you?"

Jun Yuyan hugged her and said, "You have been very punctual this year. You are usually one or two days early, and rarely late. And you slept for a long time today. Are you feeling very tired?"

"Isn't it because you insisted on dragging me out of the palace to watch the fireworks last night? I'm tired because I slept too late."

Murong Jiu pretended to nestle in his arms with a sweet smile on her face.

The fireworks are beautiful, the result of improvements made by fireworks craftsmen over the years. They are bigger, brighter and more colorful than previous fireworks.

Last night, the entire capital city was watching the grand spectacle of fireworks exploding in the sky. The city was filled with singing and dancing, and it really had some shadows of a prosperous age.

Standing on a tall building and overlooking the entire capital city, the lively atmosphere amidst laughter and joy really gives one a sense of accomplishment.

Murong Jiu complained, but his tone was full of joy.

She said to Jun Yuyan, "Do you want a child because of what Wang Yingluo said?"

Wang Yingluo once said that in history, she and Jun Yuyan had more than just two children, Zhijin and Zhiyu. According to later historical time, she would give birth to twins next year, and she would have become pregnant around this time.

Jun Yuyan shook his head and said, "Actually, I have mixed feelings. It would be better if I had other children so that I could help Zhijin become a good king in the future. But I don't want you to suffer. I still remember the difficult childbirth of Lou Zixi's wife last year."

"I've already told you to just let nature take its course. If the first pregnancy wasn't easy, the second one will be much easier. I'm not afraid, but you have to keep taking birth control pills. Look, you're taking birth control pills, so how could I get pregnant suddenly?"

Jun Yuyan's love for her is not just lip service, but is shown in his actual actions. He said he didn't want the child anymore, and he wouldn't let her take medicine. He himself took the medicine for a long time, and the medicine was specially made by his master.

"Divine Doctor Zhai said that taking medicine may not guarantee a 100% chance of preventing pregnancy."

"That's what we say, but it's basically impossible for us to get pregnant unless God allows us to have another child."

……

Murong Jiu never expected that his words would come true.

The menstrual period is postponed again and again.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the pregnancy was basically confirmed. Soon, Murong Jiu's master, Doctor Zhai, also diagnosed the baby.

Murong Jiu's mentality was quite calm. He was surprised at first, and then more delighted.

She felt that this was a child God had given her to give birth to.

Even contraceptive pills can't stop it.

Fortunately, contraceptive drugs are safe and will not have any adverse effects on children.

Jun Yuyan's mood was completely different. Of course he was surprised, but he was more anxious and nervous.

Even when His Majesty was in court, the ministers could sense that he was occasionally absent-minded.

As Murong Jiu's belly grew bigger day by day, Jun Yuyan stayed by her side almost every day. The arrangements in the palace were airtight, and everyone in the palace was carefully checked over and over again to avoid a situation like Sikong Wan's.

Murong Jiu himself also insisted on exercising, paying attention to his diet, and trying to give birth to the child safely.

She was indeed pregnant with twins, so she had a harder time than other pregnant women, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. She felt uncomfortable even lying down to sleep and often tossed and turned at night.

Jun Yuyan was a light sleeper. He would wake up immediately when Murong Jiu made any noise. Whether he was drinking water or going to the toilet, he never asked anyone else to help him, but did everything carefully on his own.

Apart from the hardship, Murong Jiu did not experience any other discomfort during the entire pregnancy.

I eat well and sleep well. In the later stage, my belly becomes big. Although I have to toss and turn frequently, I fall asleep quickly and do not suffer from insomnia.

She often told Jun Yuyan that the two children would be well-behaved and obedient in the future, just like their older brothers and sisters.

In the days before the birth, Jun Yuyan didn't even attend the morning court, and stayed by Murong Jiu's side all the time, worried that she would suddenly have a fit. Although he had forgotten every detail between him and Murong Jiu because of Wang Yingluo's hypnosis when he was unconscious, he had already known from Divine Doctor Zhai and Chuntao that his Ah Jiu had a difficult labor and heavy bleeding when she gave birth to Zhijin and Zhiyu.

That is why Jun Yuyan doesn't dare to have children anymore.

Even when Empress Dowager Qi urged him so harshly, he did not waver at all.

Now that she is pregnant, he often regrets it in his heart.

If Jiu had to suffer so much again, he would really rather not have these two children. Having Zhijin and Zhiyu was enough.

Because of his nervousness and anxiety, Jun Yuyan had two small blisters on his mouth these days, and he was getting irritated.

Murong Jiu smiled and handed him the cooling tea.

"Don't be nervous, Your Majesty. I feel that this pregnancy is going very smoothly. Once the onset of labor begins, I will definitely deliver them quickly. Come, have some heat-reducing tea."

"I'll do it, Jiu, just sit still."

Jun Yuyan quickly took the cooling tea and helped Murong Jiu sit on the soft seat.

Murong Jiu was heavy and could not sit high or low, so Jun Yuyan drew the blueprint himself and asked the court carpenter Han Muzi to make and polish it.

The seats are softly padded all around, making them comfortable.

However, Jun Yuyan still felt uneasy because Murong Jiu's belly was too big, so big that he was frightened. Although the chair was made big, he still felt it was too crowded and always wanted her to lie on the couch.

He drank the cooling tea in one gulp and Murong Jiu stood up.

"I want to walk more. They haven't moved that frequently in the past two days. It must be because the amniotic fluid is too crowded."

The later the pregnancy, the faster the fetus grows.

Murong Jiu's stomach seemed to be inflating like a balloon, which was really worrying.

Moreover, twins are often born prematurely, and the due date is calculated according to the twins' time, which is earlier than the due date of a single baby. She herself also feels that these two days are the only time left, and if she doesn't give birth now, it may be more difficult to give birth later.

She has deliberately controlled her diet to prevent the fetus from growing too fast.

Jun Yuyan hurried over to help her.

"Your Majesty, the King of Cambodia has arrived in the capital."

At this time, the guard came over to report.

"How come he arrived so early? He came at a really bad time. Send someone to arrange a place for him to stay and have him play with you. We can discuss other matters after my queen has given birth."

Jun Yuyan asked the guard to leave without saying a word.

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "The King of Cambodia said a year ago that he wanted to come to Dayan to meet the Emperor. It's almost time for him to come. Why are you blaming him for coming too early?"

"Let him come if he wants. There is no way I can go to see him now."

As the king of Dayan, the country has become increasingly prosperous in the past two years, and Jun Yuyan does have the confidence to do so.

Of course, this is not considered arrogance. If the other party came over when Murong Jiu had given birth to her child and had nothing to do, Jun Yuyan would of course meet the other party politely to show the emperor's hospitality.

Murong Jiu smiled and suddenly lowered her head. Then, she grasped Jun Yuyan's hand tightly.

"Ajiu, what's wrong?"

"My water broke."
