Bondage

Shen Shixiao was born on the coldest day in winter.

When she was pregnant with Shen Shixiao, Song Wan didn't suffer the slightest crime, but unexpectedly she made up for it all when she gave birth.

Everyone thought that her pregnancy was stable and it was not the first child, and it was likely that she would give birth smoothly, but Song Wan insisted on holding on for two full days before she gave birth to him smoothly.

Shen Qianyu had never felt the torture of those two days in his life.

To this day, he still remembers the woman's hoarse growls and painful groans in the room.

Song Wan's voice became unfamiliar, and Shen Qianyu waited outside without eating or drinking for two days.

He wanted to rush into the house several times, but was stopped by Wan Xiao.

"Going in will only make those stable women worry and panic. Not only will they not be able to help the empress, but it will even add to the chaos."

Shen Qianyu's eyes were red: "Then what should I do? Just do nothing and just stand here and wait?"

He knew that Wan Xiao was right, but Shen Qianyu hated himself for being helpless.

"Your Majesty...maybe pray for the blessing of heaven for the empress to protect her smooth delivery."

Hearing this, Shen Qianyu raised his knees and knelt directly in front of the delivery room.

Seeing this, everyone in Wan Xiao's courtyard knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty Wuer, today I pray that God will bless my wife for a smooth delivery. I would like to spend the rest of my life as a vegetarian in exchange for my wife's safety."

Shen Qianyu knelt down and prayed sincerely.

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods all his life, and he didn't fear the world.But from now on, he is willing to believe in all the gods and Buddhas in the world, and is willing to have a heart of awe, as long as his wife is safe and sound.

Lin Jiayue was also kneeling in the courtyard. The stone bricks on the ground were bitingly cold, but everyone knelt straight as if they couldn't feel it.

She looked at the front, and the man in the bright yellow gown suddenly felt a little dazed.

After kneeling for a long time, her knees hurt so much that she turned around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she simply sat down.

If Song Wan has no worries, it doesn't matter if she sits or lies down, Song Wan won't care about her, but if Song Wan can't survive this test, looking at Shen Qianyu's crazy appearance, I'm afraid it's the ones she brought into the palace with her A stable woman is enough to survive.

Since she couldn't even live, why did she suffer before she died?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiayue spread the heavy cloak on the ground and sat quietly waiting for the result.

Next to her ear was the sound of a man chanting scriptures with typos, and Lin Jiayue gradually calmed down when she heard that clumsy but sincere voice.

She looked at Shen Qianyu's back, feeling sore in her heart.

In the past, she laughed at the ancients for not understanding love, but looking at it now, why do they not understand?

It was she who didn't understand.

Jiang Xingjian's face flashed across her mind, and Lin Jiayue drove it out of her mind with a blink of an eye.

The sky gradually darkened, and many people couldn't hold back and fell to the ground, but Shen Qianyu still knelt straight as if he didn't know anything.When it was late at night, even Wan Xiao couldn't bear it, so he sat down sideways.

For a moment, no one in the entire courtyard could straighten their backs except Shen Qianyu.

Wan Xiao looked worriedly at the other party's knees, but never stepped forward to persuade him.

At such a time, Shen Qianyu can only go with him whatever he wants to do.

During the night, Po Wen went in and out and poured out countless pots of blood, until it was almost dawn, and everyone heard a middle-aged woman in the room shouting that the mother was born, and the baby's sharp cry.

"My lord, the empress gave birth, and the empress gave birth to the second prince smoothly..."

Wen Po wrapped the child tightly and carried it out, but Shen Qianyu walked into the house without even looking at it.But he knelt all night, his legs were already paralyzed, and he fell straight forward before he got up.

Wan Xiao and others rushed forward to help, but Shen Qianyu waved away the crowd and tried to climb a few steps forward.

"The slave has overstepped the bounds."

Seeing this, Ji Rong's eyes turned red, and he pulled Shen Qianyu up on his back and strode into the room.

"Wan'er..."

Two days after the dystocia, Song Wan was already in a coma, where could Shen Qianyu's cry be heard?Shen Qianyu saw Song Wan sinking deep into the soft pillow, his face pale and motionless.

He couldn't help stretching out two fingers towards the tip of Song Wan's nose.

The woman's faint breath proved that she was still alive. Shen Qianyu wanted to touch her face, but when he stretched out his hand and saw the bruise on it, he remembered that his palm was extremely cold.

Quickly withdrew his hand, he rubbed his hands stiffly, and then touched Song Wan through the thick quilt.

Watching Song Wan's eyelids move slightly, the man in his thirties suddenly burst into tears.

"Take care of the second prince, and the rest of the irrelevant people should step down."

Ji Rong stepped forward and pulled Shen Qianyu up, and asked the imperial physician to feel his pulse and then helped him onto the chair.

Shen Qianyu's legs were still numb, and the imperial doctor gave him acupuncture for a long time before he gradually felt the strange pains such as burning, itching and numbness.

"Your Majesty hasn't eaten for a long time, do you want some porridge?"

"No need."

Shen Qianyu stared blankly at Song Wan's sleeping face, and said in a low voice: "Xuan Yu's dining room, in the future, my meals will not be meaty."

Ji Rong frowned, which shows that he can only accept this situation first.

"My lord, the name of the second prince..."

The eunuch brought an agarwood wooden plate, on which was the birth date of the second prince.

After Shen Qianyu raised the pen for a moment, he wrote down the three characters Shen Shixiao casually.

He never thought that this child would be a prince, and he never took the name of a prince.Right now, he has nothing else to worry about. He wanted to inscribe the word "Jiao", but he didn't expect to write "Xiao" when he wrote the pen.

"That's it."

Pushing away the eunuch, Shen Qianyu continued to guard Song Wanlai.

I don't know if she hurt her blood during childbirth, Song Wan fell asleep for many days before slowly waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Qianyu's face covered with stubble and haggard.

"How long have you been guarding me?"

Her voice was hoarse, and Shen Qianyu raised her head in shock as soon as she opened her mouth.

"you're awake?"

"I guarded you for five days, and you never answered me no matter how I called you during these five days."

The man's tone was aggrieved, and he held Song Wan's hand tightly against his cheek, not daring to relax for a moment.He always felt that as long as he relaxed a little, this person would leave him.

Song Wan smiled weakly when she heard the words: "I will take a rest for a few days when I'm tired. It's strange that I don't feel like I can sleep well. It turns out that you are always quarreling with me."

She touched the man's cheek, her heart softened.

Seeing his haggard appearance, he must have been scared these days.

He, he is very timid when he encounters things related to her, and he doesn't know where his boldness in the past has gone.

Song Wan's heart ached so much that she held on to Shen Qianyu's hand for a long time.

The husband and wife were silent, but there was a kind of rejoicing and fear for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

After a long time, Song Wan chuckled lightly: "So is our child a little princess or a little prince?"

Hearing this, Shen Qianyu's brows drooped instantly.

He said in a slightly tired nasal voice: "It's a bastard."

Song Wan felt slightly regretful: "It's okay, the next one should be the little princess."

For the first time, Shen Qianyu didn't answer, he took Song Wan's hand and turned his head away, and didn't speak anymore.
