Chapter 185 Peace
The imperial doctors began to discuss issues such as medication in response to the various problems that might arise during Shen Zhiyu's pregnancy.

The midwife gently helped Shen Zhiyu walk around the room to avoid difficulties in delivery.

Lian Yue walked in with a bowl of freshly boiled ginseng soup, "Master, drink some ginseng soup first, so you can gather enough strength for the birth."

Shen Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the beauty couch with the help of the midwife. She drank the ginseng soup sip by sip, but found that Lian Yue kept her head down and remained silent.

She tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lian Yue's eyes were slightly red, "Master, don't be afraid, we are all outside guarding you!"

Shen Zhiyu patted her hands and said, "Well, I feel at ease with you guys here."

Not long after drinking the ginseng soup, the midwife quickly supported Shen Zhiyu and said, "Master Yue's water broke, come quickly!"

Shen Zhiyu was helped onto the couch, and only then did she feel the pain.

The palace door was tightly closed, and the bloody smell inside was frighteningly strong.

Mu Chang and Jiang Xu didn't hear any movement from inside and were extremely worried.

Suddenly the door of the palace was opened and the two of them hurriedly looked inside.

Several young palace maids came out carrying copper basins, looking panicked, and there were basins of blood spilled on the ground.

"Mu Chang~" Jiang Xu's pupils suddenly shrank and he grabbed Mu Chang's sleeve tightly.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine." After comforting her, Mu Chang pushed the door open and walked in.

Everyone in the room was busy, and when they saw Concubine Mu come in, they didn't even bother to greet her.

Shen Zhiyu lay on the couch, cold sweat dripping from her temples, and the pain in her abdomen made the veins in her neck bulge.

Shen Zhiyu's slender fingertips tightly grasped the quilt, "It hurts... it hurts so much..."

Mu Chang walked to the couch holding a long sword and grabbed her hand. Shen Zhiyu felt like his chest was about to explode because of the pain in his abdomen.

"Sister Mu, it hurts, it hurts so much~~"

Mu Chang frowned, "Shen Zhiyu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just sent a letter back today saying that the rebellion in Anzhou City has been quelled. You will be able to see him in about a month."

Shen Zhiyu's eyes were blurred with tears due to the pain, and she couldn't hear clearly what she was mumbling in her ear.

At dawn, the midwife held the second child and said with a smile, "Mother and child are safe."

Jiang Xu and others who were guarding outside were relieved when they heard the crying of a baby in the hall.

"It's born, it's finally born!"

Jiang Xu and Mu Chang were already exhausted at this moment. They ordered people to pass the message to the empress dowager and the emperor, and ordered Qingdai and others to take good care of Shen Zhiyu, and then they went back to the palace to rest.

Upon learning that he had a grandson and a granddaughter, the emperor hurried to the Weiyang Palace in a sedan chair. After seeing the two children, he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make two sets of longevity locks for children and send them to him.

He waved his hand again, gave many things as rewards, and then left happily.

Despite the dissuasion of Hua Zhou and others, the empress dowager still took a sedan chair to the Weiyang Palace. At this time, Shen Zhiyu had already woken up and was drinking porridge with the help of palace servants.

The Queen Mother saw Shen Zhiyu's pale and bloodless face, and her face was distressed. "My dear, if there is anything you want to eat or drink, and the imperial kitchen can't make it, just come to me, an old woman, to make it for you."

Shen Zhiyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern." A few strands of black hair stuck to the side of her face. Instead of being too messy, she looked delicate.

The Queen Mother lovingly reached out her hand and brushed the long hair behind her ear. "I should be the one thanking you. Changying was not in the East Palace to accompany you in childbirth, but you gave him two healthy and lovely babies, adding new blood to our Wei royal family."

Shen Zhiyu looked down at the two babies lying on the small wooden bed next to her, and said with joy in her tone, "Because they are the children of His Highness and I."

The Queen Mother put a string of Buddhist beads that she had blessed at the Huguo Temple on her wrist and said, "I hope it can bless you."

As an experienced person, the empress dowager could naturally see the fatigue on Shen Zhiyu's face, and ordered the palace servants in Weiyang Palace to take good care of their master.

After the Queen Mother left, Fukutake touched the two rewards in his arms and couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Zhiyu fell into another sleep in a daze. Fortunately, the wet nurses for the children had been arranged long ago. Qingdai and others asked the imperial physician to conduct a strict examination before allowing them to hold the children and feed them.

After feeding, the nurses saw Qingdai and the others were about to take the child away, and hurriedly said, "This child is young and will wake up hungry at night to feed. Why don't you let us take care of the child at night?"

Lian Yue sneered, "If you don't want to die, put away your inappropriate thoughts."

If the mistress of a wealthy family does not have enough milk, she will ask a wet nurse to feed the child. When the child grows up, the wet nurse will become half the master because of the kindness of feeding the child.

Shen Zhiyu is still in confinement and cannot worry about anything. The two concubines have no experience in such matters, so Lianyue went to Qingning Palace in person.

After the Queen Mother learned about this, she looked at Lian Yue twice more and said, "As expected, you are a thoughtful girl!"

Lian Yue brought his men back and entered the hall.

Shen Zhiyu saw an older man with steady gestures following behind her, and asked curiously: "Lian Yue, who is the person you brought back..."

The man knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "This old slave kowtows to Concubine Yue."

Lian Yue explained, "This is the housekeeper assigned to you by the Queen Mother herself.

The Queen Mother felt sorry for you because you were in confinement and couldn't spare the energy to take care of two children, so she asked Nanny to come and take care of you."

Although the Weiyang Palace is managed by Lian Yue and others, they are still young after all and have experienced very little.

Shen Zhiyu understood that it must be Lian Yue who asked the Queen Mother for help in this matter, otherwise how would she know about the difficulties in Weiyang Palace?
"May I know your name, Madam?" Shen Zhiyu looked at her carefully with a smile on her face.

"I am Chen Fang, an old servant, and I pay my respects to Concubine Yue."

"Madam, there is no need to be so polite." Shen Zhiyu motioned to Lianyue to help the child up. "Since the Queen Mother asked you to come and serve, she must be very satisfied with your ability. This Concubine naturally trusts you. From now on, I will trouble you to take care of these two children."

From these words, Chen Fang could feel that Concubine Yue was not the kind of arrogant and domineering person, and she felt somewhat satisfied.

After waiting for the two babies to be handed over to Chen Fang's care, Shen Zhiyu quietly asked Lian Yue, "Do you know what this nanny did before?"

Lian Yue leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Madame Chen was the prince's wet nurse. She watched the prince grow up almost from childhood. Later, Madame Chen was sent to his hometown by his highness to retire, and she has never returned since then."

I think the Queen Mother is also a thoughtful person, otherwise she wouldn't have sent the person to her immediately when she went to rescue him.

Shen Zhiyu nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, Weiyang Palace will give them an extra month's salary so that they can all share in the joy, and Nanny Chen is no exception."

Lian Yue came out of the palace with a smile, and shouted, "Jie Yu Yue will reward all the people in the palace with an extra month's salary as a reward for your loyalty."

Everyone in the palace: O(∩_∩)O We are rich~
Wow, Zhizhi has two little cubs, (*^▽^*)
