Afterwards, King Xuan talked to Shen Jingyi about the King of Qi forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Shen Jingyi's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean the Minister of War assassinated the emperor?"

"Yes, but he killed me, who was dressed as the emperor."

"Are you injured?"

Shen Jingyi's voice was nervous and her eyes were full of concern.

King Xuan smiled, patted her hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm prepared."

Shen Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was confused again, frowned and asked, "What do you think the Minister of War is thinking?

He is your father-in-law, shouldn't he be in your camp? Why did he join the King of Qi?

He even went so far as to assassinate the Emperor for the sake of the Prince of Qi.

You know, this is a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of nine generations of your clan!"

After hearing this, King Xuan sighed and explained to Shen Jingyi helplessly.

“Because the King of Qi had seized the evidence that he had embezzled the army’s pay and used it as a threat.

He might have thought, since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a chance.”

Shen Jingyi said hatefully: "I didn't expect that he would be such a person."

Her eyes revealed disappointment and anger, and she hated these corrupt officials the most.

Then, he looked at King Xuan nervously and asked, "He is your father-in-law, so the emperor doesn't doubt you, right?"

King Xuan felt warm in his heart when he saw how she was worried about him.

He gently held Shen Jingyi's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Father has no doubts, he knows all this.

Well, you are still in confinement after childbirth, so you shouldn’t worry too much.

Leave the rest to me and I will handle it.”

Shen Jingyi nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I won't care. I'll let them take everyone away for you later."

King Xuan kissed her forehead gently, looked down at her, and said gently: "Then you have a good rest, I will go to deal with these things first, and I have to go to the palace later.

If I come back too late at night, I won’t come.”

"Okay~~ You don't have to worry about me and the child, we have someone to take care of us."

Then she couldn't help but remind him: "Take care of yourself and don't tire yourself out."

"I know, you take a rest, I'm leaving."

There was concern in King Xuan's tone, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look back at the sleeping baby.

The little guy curled up quietly in the cradle, seemingly unaware of anything happening in the outside world.

King Xuan turned and left. Shen Jingyi looked at his back in a daze.

As soon as King Xuan left, Nanny Qin came in holding a bowl.

"Concubine, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician to help with the discharge of lochia after childbirth. Drink it while it's hot."

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly. Although she disliked the taste of the medicine, she still took it and drank it in one gulp.

Ancient medical skills were indeed magical, but the medicine was always unbearable. The bitterness mixed with the taste of herbs made it difficult for her to swallow.

When Nanny Qin saw that she had finished drinking, she took the bowl and brought a plate of candied fruit to Shen Jingyi.

"Concubine, eat some candied fruit, maybe you will feel better."

Shen Jingyi ate a candied fruit. The sweet taste instantly diluted the bitterness of the medicine, making her feel much more comfortable.

She smiled slightly and nodded to Nanny Qin.

Then, Nanny Qin moved a stool to the bedside and sat down.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on the baby in the cradle, and she said with a worried look on her face: "Concubine, the fifth young master was born half a month premature, and we haven't decided on the wet nurse yet!

I just sent someone to look for him, but it will take a while to find out the details!"

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi didn't have any concerns in this regard.

She had thought about it a long time ago, and she planned to feed the child herself in the next few days.

She had heard before that colostrum can help children strengthen their immunity.

She gently stroked the baby's little face, feeling the tender skin, her heart filled with maternal love.

So, she continued what Nanny Qin said, "Yes, how can we let her feed the child without finding out the details?

Be sure to check it out before bringing it here."

"So what will the Fifth Young Master eat these days?" Nanny Qin had a sad face, with deep worry in her eyes.

"Mammy, don't worry. I'm going to feed the baby myself." Shen Jingyi's voice was soft but firm.

"How can that be possible? We will be laughed at." Nanny Qin immediately retorted, disagreeing in her heart.

I've never heard of any wealthy family feeding their own children.

"If we don't tell anyone, no one will know! Do you want to let the child starve?" Shen Jingyi said in a low voice, afraid to scare the child.

After hearing this, Nanny Qin was silent for a moment, knowing that the concubine had made up her mind.

She sighed slightly, and finally nodded: "I understand! However, you still have to be careful and don't let anyone see it."

"Of course." Shen Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, as for the prince..." Nanny Qin hesitated a little, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "What if he asks about it, or feels that it is inappropriate, how will you deal with it?"

"It's okay, I'll go talk to him and he'll agree."

Shen Jingyi was full of confidence, with a smile on her face, "We can't let his son starve!"
