Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu stayed in the delivery room for more than a day from labor to delivery. Finally, at the hour of Xu on the Golden Festival, she gave birth to two children.

They are indeed two little princes.

One weighs more than five pounds, and the other weighs only a little over four pounds.

There were only two midwives delivering the baby this time, and the rest were Xia He and the other four, who were helping out inside the house.

When Yinreng heard the baby crying, he couldn't wait to walk to the door and wait, followed by the imperial physician Cui who was waiting for orders.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Xia He opened the door of the delivery room from the inside.

Yinreng walked in without thinking, and then asked anxiously in a low voice: "How is your master now?"

Xia He replied respectfully, "The master has safely given birth to two little princes and is very tired now."

"But because I was worried about the little prince, I forced myself to wait for the prince to come in."

Yinreng paused.

"I know."

"Go and ask the kitchen staff to prepare some meals that the Crown Princess would like to eat, and then let her have her meal and rest."

"Yes." Xia He replied, then turned and walked out of the delivery room, quickly closing the door.

After Yinreng gave Xia He instructions, he walked quickly into the inner room.

At this time, Wanyu was pale, half lying on the bed with wet hair, and two tightly wrapped apricot-yellow swaddling clothes were beside her.

She tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth.

"You're here."

Yinreng strode forward, then sat on the edge of the bed, touching her temples with heartache. Seeing that she was still in good spirits, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Doctor Cui, take the pulse of the Crown Princess and the prince."

Cui Guangbai, who had been acting as a background figure, hunched over and walked to the bedside, calmly taking the pulses of the Crown Princess and the two young princes.

Yinreng looked at the two midwives waiting on the side.

With a glance, he took the person to the side room to talk, so as not to disturb the imperial physician from taking the young lady's pulse.

After sitting down in the main seat in the side room, he looked at the midwife who was feeling uneasy and anxious below.

"I have already told Zhang Xi about the rest of the matter."

"Someone will send you to Shengjing overnight."

"Your families have been arranged in Shengjing. I will have you sent there to reunite with your families."

"I don't want any of you to hear what happened today. No one, not even your family, can know about it!"

"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the fate of you and your families."

The two midwives immediately knelt down and kowtowed before Yinreng.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely keep this secret."

"No one will know that I have ever been a midwife."

Yinreng nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as you behave well, I will reward you and your families with food and clothing for the rest of your lives."

"Don't get your hopes up. There are lonely people in Shengjing who will keep an eye on you."

"Although I don't want to kill you, once the secret is revealed, your entire family will become wandering ghosts."

The two midwives were trembling.

"Your Highness, I dare not."

"The slaves dare not."

Yinreng gave instructions to Xia Chan who was standing beside him.

"Take the two midwives out."

Xia Chan: "Yes."

After Xia Chan took the two midwives out, Yinreng returned to the inner room.

At this time, Doctor Cui had finished taking the patients' pulses and found that both the adult and the child were in good health.

However, one of the young princes was a little weaker.

But it’s not a big problem. As long as you take good care of it, it will recover soon.

Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Imperial Physician Cui, Xia Lian and Xia Lu to leave as well.

He glanced at the two children, then held the little lady's soft hand and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Wanyu looked at the two swaddling clothes beside her reluctantly, then curled the corners of her lips.

Thinking that one of them would be taken away soon, he choked up and said "hmm".

She said softly, "Baocheng, guess which one is the older brother and which one is the younger brother?"

Yinreng leaned over and took a closer look at the two red-skinned monkeys sleeping with their eyes closed.

He touched the baby, who was obviously a size bigger, with some reluctance.

"This is my brother, right?"

"He just looks a lot stronger, he must be the older brother."

Wanyu also touched the cheek of the slightly older baby.

Then she looked up at Yinreng. Although her eyes were full of tears, she tried to smile and spoke.

"Baocheng guessed wrong, he is the younger brother."

Yinreng was stunned and looked at his brother in a trance.

"What a good boy."

"He must have known that my brother was weak, so he let him out first."

Hearing his words, Wanyu could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they all burst out.

"Yeah, he's a good kid."

"But we...we have to...send him away."

Seeing the tears falling from Wanyu's face like beads from a broken string, Yinreng's heart was tightly gripped and he felt it was difficult to breathe.

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears, he coaxed softly, "Don't cry, okay?"

Wanyu grabbed Yinreng's hand and sobbed helplessly.

"Baocheng, he's so well-behaved, I can't bear to let him go, what should I do?"

Looking at the reluctance, helplessness and confusion on her face, Yinreng felt even more remorseful and guilty.

He felt that he was too incompetent, otherwise he would not have let the young concubine face such a situation.

Looking at her tears, Yinreng's lips moved several times before he finally spoke with difficulty.

"Don't cry."

"I can't bear to let you go, so let's not send you off, okay?"

Wanyu covered her face, shook her head, and threw herself into Yinreng's arms, crying silently.

She can't.

You can't be so selfish.

We cannot put our children’s future at unknown risks just because we are reluctant to let them go at this moment.

Every time she thought of Hongxi being convicted of treason, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Her plump forehead.

She is so smart, filial, and well-behaved, how could she do something like a treason?!

How could he put the charge of treason on his own forehead?

Who will be next after Feng Sheng'e? Hongye? Fuerguochun? Fuling'a?

No! She won't allow it!

This will never be allowed to happen!

After preparing herself mentally, Wanyu raised her tear-stained cheeks and met Yinreng's distressed eyes.

His eyes were full of determination and resolve.

"Baocheng, his name is Hongli (Li)!"

"His name is Hongli (Li), okay?"

After so many years, Wanyu has come to understand that history is not so easy to change.

But now that I have decided to let my second sister adopt my child, why not be more direct!

Yinreng saw determination, stubbornness and persistence in her eyes.

I thought she was reluctant to leave her child and wanted to leave a mark, so she gave him this name.

He nodded.

"it is good."

"His name is Hongli (Li)."

"After the concubine gave birth to the children, I went to find Khan Ama and named them."

"His name is Hongli (Li), and his brother's name is Honggui. It sounds like the names of real brothers. What do you think, Yu'er?"

Wanyu nodded silently with tears in her eyes.

She took off the rosary given by Master Wuchen, which she had just worn on her wrist, and wrapped it around Hongli's wrist.

Yinreng pinched the child's soft and boneless little hand.

【Child, don't be afraid.】

【Father and mother will never abandon you.】

Wanyu looked up and gently kissed the baby on the forehead.

Then close your eyes and turn your head away.

"Take it away!"
