458. The Baby Is Born
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The door to the clinic was closed.
Long Xiaoyuan was shocked for a moment.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou seemed to have foreseen it, so he was not surprised.
Liu Suifeng looked at them and smiled at the look on their face.
âWhy do you have such an expression? Whatâs wrong?â
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng, and his mouth twitched. He said lightly, âIâve seen awesome people, but Iâve never seen anyone who is more awesome than you. Iâm convinced.â
Liu Suifeng raised an eyebrow. âIs this a sarcastic comment or a compliment?â
Ouyang Chuan walked down from the second floor.
âDonât mind him. Take it as a compliment.â
âOkay.â Liu Suifeng laughed loudly. âOuyang, you are right.â
Long Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, âHow many days do you plan to open the clinic a month?â
âOnly three to five days. I think it is enough.â
Long Xiaoyuan was impressed.
âCan you treat that person with rheumatism just now?â Long Xiaoyuan thought of common problem for modern people.
If Liu Suifeng was in modern times, he would be a very popular doctor if he could cure rheumatism and rheumatoid.
âItâs just a small case.â Liu Suifeng looked at Long Xiaoyuan strangely. âActually, average doctors are able to deal with it.â
Long Xiaoyuan fell silent. Some modern diseases were nothing here.
However, if it was a surgery, Liu Suifeng would be inferior. After all, there was gap between humans and technology.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. âIf I suffer rheumatism when I grow old, Iâll definitely ask you to cure me.â
âIt would be difficult according to your current physical condition,â Liu Suifeng said.
âWhy?â
âHave you done any menial work, or laundry?â
âWellâ¦â
Liu Suifeng shrugged. âSo, itâs hard.â
Long Xiaoyuan said, âBut I often sit and read the files. This is not good. I heard that it hurts my body.â
Liu Suifeng sneered. âDonât worry. If you feel sick, Iâll give you acupuncture on the neck.
The rest is fine.â
Long Xiaoyuan was speechless.
What else could he say? He imagined that he would suffer rheumatism, but he was told that it was unlikely that would happen.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled faintly. âWeâve been out for a long time. Itâs time for us to go back.â
âOkay.â Long Xiaoyuan nodded and held s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs hand. âQingzhou, letâs go back.â
âOkay.â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.
The couple left.
Ouyang Chuan said, âDid you ask that person to come over tomorrow night?â
Yes. Iâll give him another treatment tomorrow night, since I took his money. I have the medical ethics. Ouyang, donât worry.â
Ouyang Chuan rolled his eyes at him.
âI donât worry at all. Anyway, Iâm not the patient. Besides, even if the reputation is ruined, itâs your reputation, not mine.â
Ouyang Chuanâs ruthless words. .h.i.t Liu Suifeng.
âOuyang, how can you say this? Iâm really heartbroken to hear this. Weâre in the same boat. If Iâm said to be without any medical morals, and my reputation is ruined, that will ruin your reputation as well. How could you sound that you have nothing to do with me?â
Ouyang Chuan sneered. âYouâre thinking too much. Actually, thereâs still a big difference between us. You can try and see if my reputation will be ruin after your reputation is damaged.â
Ouyang Chuan looked at Liu Suifeng gloatingly.
Liu Suifeng was lost for words.
After Long Xiaoyuan left the clinic, he couldnât help but say, âFor someone like Liu Suifeng, only the word âroyalâ could bring business to his clinic. Otherwiseâ¦â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly, âI donât think so. With time, people will know his capability and come to beg him for treatment.â
âThatâs true.â Long Xiaoyuan thought about the reputation that Liu Suifeng enjoyed. âIf the people know that this is the clinic opened by the eccentric doctor, Iâm afraid more people will come.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, âYes.â
Long Xiaoyuan pulled s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs hand.
âQingzhou, we should have brought our son out today. That little guy is locked up in the palace all day long. Heâs wretched.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. âOkay. We are not busy lately anyway. You can take him out anytime.â
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. âAlright. We can have a picnic together.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âWhy do you like picnic so much?â
Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment. âI feel good when sitting on the ground. It means leisure.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded thoughtfully. âOkay.â
One day a few months later, both s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were worried.
Because Madam s.h.i.+ was giving birth!
Four hours ago, Madam s.h.i.+ started to have contraction, and Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou left the palace. They had been waiting after they arrived at the generalâs mansion.
However, it had been four hours, yet there was no news from Madam s.h.i.+.
Only basins of hot water were sent in.
It was scary.
s.h.i.+ Qingshan had rushed back from the border when Madam s.h.i.+ was about to give birth. He was in the mansion.
However, s.h.i.+ Qingshan was held back outside the delivery room.
Compared to s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan, who was anxious, General s.h.i.+ was much calmer.
âIt took your mother a whole day to give birth to you. Itâs been only four hours. Donât worry.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou frowned. âBut Mother is older now, and itâs much more dangerous than before.â
s.h.i.+ Qingshan waved his hand indifferently. âDonât worry. Your mother has a good physique condition. Sheâll be fine.â
Long Xiaoyuan patted s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs hand. âDonât worry. Mother will be fine.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou took a deep breath. âOkay.â
It was tormenting to wait.
It had been only four hours, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and the others waited.
To their surprise, the baby was not born in the next eight hours.
Now, even s.h.i.+ Qingshan was worried.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, âFather, get more midwives and doctors.â
Long Xiaoyuan said, âGo get Liu Suifeng.â
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were called over.
Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly after he arrived. âI really canât help with the birth.â
He was a man, and he didnât know how.
âGo inside and feel her pulse with a golden thread in the outer room. In this way, you can diagnose, right?â Long Xiaoyuan said.
Liu Suifeng nodded. âOkay.â
After everything was arranged inside, Liu Suifeng entered the delivery room.
A moment later, Liu Suifeng came out with a frown.
âHow is she?â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou quickly asked.
s.h.i.+ Qingshan and Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng as well.
Liu Suifeng frowned. âHer situation is not good. Youâd better give her some internal power to help her, but you need to know some acupuncture points.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou paused and said, âIâll do it.â
Liu Suifeng nodded. âYou are indeed the best candidate, as your internal power is soft and feminine, which could help your mother.â
âOkay. Tell me what I should pay attention to.â
Liu Suifeng immediately gave s.h.i.+ Qingzhou a detailed instruction on what he needed to do.
After s.h.i.+ Qingzhou memorized everything, he took a deep breath and entered the delivery room.
Long Xiaoyuan was even more worried after s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went inside.
Was childbirth so terrifying?
It actually took so long?
Long Xiaoyuan felt his legs tremble. He didnât know if he was standing too long or he was nervous.
After a long time, when Long Xiaoyuan he thought the baby wouldnât come out, he heard some noises from the delivery room.
A baby was crying loud, and Long Xiaoyuan was startled.
âThe baby! The baby is born!â
s.h.i.+ Qingshan realized what happened and rushed to the delivery room.
He was stopped when he ran over.
But soon, the delivery room door opened and a small baby was sent out.
âCongratulations, General. Itâs a young master.â
At this moment, s.h.i.+ Qingshan almost burst into tears.
It turned out that he was excited and worried, but he had concealed his emotion too well.
However, all emotions were released when he saw the little child.
Such a little child was his son.
Long Xiaoyuan also trembled with excitement.
He felt nothing even when his own son was born.
Now looking at this small baby who was related to Qingzhou by blood, he was beside himself with excitement.
Long Xiaoyuan couldnât help reaching out his hand. He wanted to gently touch the baby, but just as he extended his hand, he suddenly withdrew. He was afraid that he would hurt the child.
s.h.i.+ Qingshan realized what he wanted to do. âYour Majesty, do you want to hold the baby?â
âCan I?â Long Xiaoyuan asked with antic.i.p.ation and uncertainty. âOf course. It is the childâs honor.â s.h.i.+ Qingshan said hurriedly.
âOkay.â Long Xiaoyuan nodded instantly. âIâll hold him.â
As he said, Long Xiaoyuan carefully held the baby.
He was moved when he held the baby in his hands.
Long Xiaoyuan couldnât help lifting the child up and kissing him carefully.
The wet nurse came out and congratulated the family. Long Xiaoyuan did not dare to hold such a small child for too long, afraid that he would hurt the child, so he quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child away.
âWhereâs Qingzhou?â Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked.
âThe Empress is still in the room. Heâs exhausted.â
Long Xiaoyuan said, âCan I go inside?â
âWellâ¦â The servants hesitated.
After all, there was not only the Empress but also the Empressâ mother in the room. Besides, the room had a b.l.o.o.d.y smell after the childbirth. If the Emperor was offended, they would be doomed.
A blessed thing could turn into a bad thing
s.h.i.+ Qingshan didnât care about this at all.
Actually, he only thought that his wife was Long Xiaoyuanâs mother-in-law, his elder and family. It didnât matter if Long Xiaoyuan entered the room. He never thought of the smell or offence.
s.h.i.+ Qingshan said directly, âOf course, you can go inside. Your Majesty, go ahead.â
In fact, there was no place in this world that the Emperor could not go.
The Emperor could go anywhere!
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan entered the room.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou lay on a bed in the outer room. There was no one around the bed.
Long Xiaoyuan came over. âQingzhou?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou opened his eyes and smiled at sight of Long Xiaoyuan.
âItâs you. Why do you come?â
âIâm worried about you. How do you feel now?â
âIâm fine. Donât worry. Since youâre here, we will disturb Mother. Carry me out.â
Was he so tired that he needed Long Xiaoyuan to carry him out? That was why he was resting here?
And he chased all the servants away?
âWhy didnât you ask the servants to carry you out?â Long Xiaoyuan couldnât help but ask.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly, âYou know me. I donât like others to touch me.â
Long Xiaoyuanâs heart ached. He kissed s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs mouth gently.
âWhat about me? I hug you to sleep every day.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou rolled his eyes. âDo you want to be one of the others?â
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head vigorously. âNo, no. I donât want to.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âThere you are.â
Long Xiaoyuan kissed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou again. This was a happy kiss.
Afterwards, Long Xiaoyuan carried him out.
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were waiting outside, and they were shocked when they saw Long Xiaoyuan holding s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.
They knew s.h.i.+ Qingzhou well. If he had had other ways, he would not have showed his fragile side in front of others.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou would laugh even if he was injured.
Long Xiaoyuan said, âLiu Suifeng, come with me. Qingzhou is exhausted. Come and take a look at him.â
âOkay.â Liu Suifeng nodded. âIâm coming.â
When they got to s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs room, Long Xiaoyuan stepped aside, so Liu Suifeng could sit in front of s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou lay on the bed, and Liu Suifeng felt his pulse.
Long Xiaoyuan quickly asked when Liu Suifeng withdrew his hand, âHow is he? Is Qingzhou okay? â
Liu Suifeng shook his head. âThereâs no big problem. Heâll be fine after resting for two days. Iâll prescribe a set of medicated meals. Heâll be better after he has it for two days.â
âOkay. Hurry up so he can drink it right away,â Long Xiaoyuan said.
âSure. Iâll go.â
Liu Suifeng prescribed the medicine and personally boiled the medicine.
Ouyang Chuan went away with Liu Suifeng.
Long Xiaoyuan stayed with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.
âQingzhou, how could you exhaust yourself?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled bitterly. âI was scared by her look, so I couldnât help exhausting my strength. Thankfully, Mother and Brother are fine. I saw him too. Heâs a very strong boy. He grew well inside Mother.â
âWhat about your mother? Is she okay?â
âDonât worry, Mother is fine too.â
âThatâs good.â Long Xiaoyuan nodded in relief.
After Long Xiaoyuan chatted with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou for a while, he asked s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to rest. âDonât say anything. Sleep well.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didnât refuse. In fact, he was tired. Three days later, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou left the generalâs mansion.
When they left, the baby had already opened his eyes. He even smiled in his sleep.
âThe baby is very smart. Heâs actually laughing in his dreams a few days after he was born.â
Long Xiaoyuan couldnât help saying when he left.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âMy mother said that I did the same when I was small.â
Long Xiaoyuan blinked. âQingzhou, do you mean that your brother is as smart as you?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at him indifferently. âWell, you can understand it that way.â
Long Xiaoyuan quickly pointed at himself. âQingzhou, how about me? Am I smart?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. âI canât tell now. You should ask your parents about your childhood instead of asking me.â
Long Xiaoyuan was hurt. âYou know that my parents are gone. Are you bullying me because I have no parents?â
âOh, youâre a child without parents. How pitiful.â s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sighed.
Long Xiaoyuan felt helpless.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou patted his hand. âCome on, letâs go back.â
Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. âNo, Iâm not going back. You can go back on your own.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou raised an eyebrow. âAre you really not going back?â
Long Xiaoyuan snorted.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou shrugged. âFine. As you like. Iâll go back by myself.â
Long Xiaoyuanâs eyes widened, âs.h.i.+ Qingzhou!â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âWhatâs wrong?â
Long Xiaoyuan roared, âI dare you to do that.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou shrugged. âI didnât want to do that. Didnât you say you wouldnât go back?â
Long Xiaoyuan stared at him.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sighed and held his hand, âWhy do you behave like a child? Alright. Letâs go back together.â
Long Xiaoyuan pouted.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went up and kissed Long Xiaoyuan, âCan we go now?â
Long Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously. âLetâs go.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled.
