Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

De Shun was left behind by Nalan Ming to help the new emperor, Nalan Rong.

However, before the couple left, Lin Chu secretly left him a message, asking him to do his best to help the Empress gain a foothold first.

De Shun knew perfectly well that he should listen to the Princess when the Prince spoke to the Princess.

Therefore, he was very thorough in helping Murong Xue. De Shun was busy every day, not only helping Murong Xue manage the affairs of the harem, but also resolving the small actions of some people who were secretly eyeing the position of Empress.

When a new concubine enters the harem, things naturally become more complicated, especially in places with many women.

In addition, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and was so busy that he had no time to visit the harem to favor the new concubines. He only occasionally went to the central palace to have a meal with the empress, which was mostly lunchtime.

Rumors soon spread in the palace that Murong Xue was jealous. She appeared kind and generous, helping the emperor to expand his harem, but forbidding him from favoring any of them.

The rumor spread like wildfire, becoming a hot topic within days. Upon learning of this, De Shun devised a plan. He found several respected old maids in the palace and asked them to speak out about the Empress's virtue and kindness, as well as her dedication to the royal offspring. However, the situation was currently unstable. At the same time, De Shun also arranged for people to investigate and find out that the rumor was spread by a maidservant of a concubine.

He calmly presented the evidence to the concubine, who was so frightened that she begged for mercy and promised never to do it again.

After learning about this, Murong Xue was very grateful to Deshun.

De Shun respectfully stated that this was all his duty, as he was following the orders of the Prince and Princess and would do his best to assist the Empress. From then on, Murong Xue's position in the palace became more and more secure.

By the time De Shun left, Murong Xue already possessed the prestige of an empress.

The fact that Old Master Wu spent all his time at the Imperial Hospital searching for prescriptions naturally reached the palace.

Murong Xue knew that Lin Chu was unwell and was very worried, but there was nothing she could do.

The new emperor, Nalan Rong, simply ignored everyone at the small court assembly and went to find Old Master Wu himself.

"What did you say? You have medicine that can cure Chu girl?"

Grandpa Wu excitedly grabbed Nalan Rong's hand and asked.

Nalan Rong nodded vigorously. "I've heard you've been searching for a cure. Have you made any progress?"

The old patriarch of the Wu family released his grip and sighed, "Your Majesty, this old minister has indeed found a prescription, but although the medicine can make Chu girl pregnant, it is also highly toxic, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing that Lin Chu wanted a child, Nalan Rong's eyes flickered. "Does Nalan Ming really want a child that badly? He's even willing to risk Lin Chu's life?" His tone was filled with anger.

Old Master Wu was aware of the complicated love-hate relationship between them.

There's nothing you can do about it; it's impossible not to know about a gossipy grandson like Wu Di.

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Old Master Wu explained, "It's not that the Prince wants a child, but that Chu girl has her own obsession."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Rong's expression softened.

He said, "I do have a pill in my possession. It was found in the late emperor's palace after I ascended the throne. It may be able to cure Lin Chu's chronic illness."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Wu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what are the effects of this pill? Are there any side effects?"

Nalan Rong recalled what Consort Liu had said before her death and slowly began to speak: "This pill is called the Rejuvenation Pill. It is said to be able to regulate a woman's body and remove hidden ailments. As for the side effects... I did not mention them. But the late Emperor always cherished this pill, so it should not be harmful."

After a moment of contemplation, Old Master Wu said, "Your Majesty, may I have this pill? I will study it carefully, and if it is truly harmless, I will send it to Chu girl as soon as possible." Nalan Rong agreed without hesitation.

Old Master Wu brought the Rejuvenation Pill home and gathered several senior pharmacists from the family to study it together.

After several days of testing, it was found that the pills were not poisonous and indeed had a miraculous effect on women's fertility problems. So he personally took the pills to Liushui Town.

At this time, Lin Chu was more than eight months pregnant, but she did not look like a pregnant woman. Instead, she was thin and frail, with only a huge belly, which looked frightening.

Nalan Ming stayed by her side day and night, carefully watching over her, fearing that something might happen to her.

Liu Qing and Dong Xue prepared various delicious meals for her every day, but even so, she didn't gain any weight.

Lin Chu also became increasingly sleepy, spending ten and a half of the twelve hours in a daze.

Nalan Ming invited a doctor from Renyitang to see her. The doctor said that she had insufficient qi and blood, and that sleeping was a way to replenish qi and blood. He was relieved, but he still did not dare to relax.

Xiao Nianqiu also stayed by their side all day, obedient and well-behaved, her big, watery eyes looking at Lin Chu on the bed.

"Father, Mother, when will you wake up?"

The little girl's soft, sweet voice brought Nalan Ming back to her senses. Looking at her face, which resembled Lin Chu's by six or seven points, Nalan Ming felt even more heartbroken. However, she still said gently, "Nianqiu, be good. It would be nice if Mother gave birth to a younger brother or sister."

"Brother, sister?" Nianqiu asked, confused.

"Yes, does Nianqiu like younger siblings?"

Nalan Ming asked softly.

Little Nianqiu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in her childish voice, "I like it. Nianqiu will protect my younger brother and sister."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "And my mother and father."

Nalan Ming smiled and patted her head.

In the distance, De Shun and his servants looked at the pitiful person at their parents' house, who was staying by the bedside, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. They all silently prayed that Lin Chu would be safe and recover soon.

Perhaps the heavens heard their prayers, for that night, Lin Chu suddenly woke up from his dream and looked at the person lying beside him through the moonlight.

When Nalan Ming was awakened by the sensation of being touched by fingers, he saw Lin Chu's eyes, which were like glass. He was startled, and a bad premonition came over him.

After taking care of him for several days, Nalan Ming, who was used to light sleep, immediately woke up.

He grabbed Lin Chu's playful little hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing his nervousness, Lin Chu shook her head with a smile in her eyes, but her face was pale and her smile seemed broken, which made Nalan Ming even more frightened.

Lin Chu said softly, "I'm fine, I just suddenly wanted to see you." Nalan Ming hugged her tightly, as if that could dispel the fear in his heart. "You will be alright, and our child will be alright too."

Lin Chu nodded, and after a while, he struggled out of Nalan Ming's arms.

She hadn't eaten properly in a long time and had no strength. But as soon as he moved, Nalan Ming sensed it and, following her movements, released her.

Lin Chu said earnestly, "Nalan Ming, if I... die... don't be sad, you..."
