Chapter 411: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 59
"Yes, your majesty." Xiao Qingzi took the order and left.

Inside the Qionghua Palace, Concubine Shu sat on a chair, her hands still tightly protecting her belly, but her mood had eased a little.

When Yu Yao looked at Shu Guiren's appearance, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.

For her, Shu Guiren's problem was easy to solve. It was just a matter of detoxification pill and pregnancy-preserving pill.

But she still wanted to let the imperial physician take a look first.

Soon, Doctor Zhang came hurriedly with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He put down the medicine box and first bowed to Yu Yao and Shu Guiren. After bowing, he stepped forward to take Shu Guiren's pulse.

His brows furrowed more and more, and after a long while he slowly put down his hand.

"Doctor Zhang, how am I doing?"

Shu Guiren asked impatiently, looking anxious.

Doctor Zhang looked at Concubine Shu with a serious expression, and said in a solemn voice: "Ms. Shu, your condition is not optimistic. There is indeed an extremely toxic drug in your body, and this drug is extremely hidden. If you don't check carefully, you won't find it at all. This drug will not only weaken the fetus, but also affect the circulation of Qi and blood during childbirth, which is very likely to cause a difficult delivery or the death of both mother and child."

After hearing what Imperial Physician Zhang said, Concubine Shu's face turned pale instantly and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Yu Yao helplessly and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Chen, what should I do? I don't want to die, and I don't want anything to happen to my child."

Yu Yao patted her hand gently and comforted her, "Sister Shu, don't panic. I won't let anything happen to you and the child."

After that, she turned to look at Doctor Zhang and asked, "Doctor Zhang, is there any way to neutralize this poison?"

Doctor Zhang sighed, but did not hide anything. He said truthfully, "My Lady, it's not that there is no way, but there are many drugs that pregnant women should avoid. This situation is quite tricky. I need to go back and study it carefully. The herbs and the method of preparing the drugs involved in this detoxification method must be treated with caution. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. And even so, there is no guarantee that the toxicity can be completely eliminated. We can only do our best."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu's face was filled with despair again. Tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "What should I do? Doctor Zhang, you must save me and my child."

Yu Yao felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.

Then she comforted him, "Sister Shu, don't worry too much. Imperial Doctor Zhang is very skilled in medicine and will definitely find a solution. Just relax for now. I will also find a solution."

After saying that, she turned to Doctor Zhang and said, "Doctor Zhang, please study it as soon as possible. I hope to hear good news as soon as possible. During this period, I will let Sister Shu take good care of herself according to the precautions you mentioned before."

Doctor Zhang replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

After saying that, he hurriedly left Qionghua Palace carrying his medicine box.

After Doctor Zhang left, Yu Yao looked at Concubine Shu and felt unhappy.

Although she had detoxifying pills and pregnancy-preserving pills, she couldn't act rashly before the imperial physician gave a final conclusion.

Of course, if Imperial Doctor Zhang really had no other options, she would not watch Concubine Shu and her unborn child die.

In short, when the other party gives birth, she will save Shu Guiren's life.

At this time, Concubine Shu seemed to have recovered. She wiped her tears, stood up and bowed to Yu Yao, saying, "Sister Chen, thank you for your care today. Now that the imperial physician knows my condition, I will return to my palace."

Concubine Shu held her belly and bowed, then left Qionghua Palace with Bi Yuan.

Not long after Shu Guiren left, Emperor Jing came hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.

When he heard that the imperial physician had been summoned from Qionghua Palace, he was shocked, thinking that something was wrong with Yao'er's health, so he put down the memorial and rushed over in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the Qionghua Palace, Emperor Jing's eyes scanned the room eagerly.

Seeing Yao'er leaning safely on the couch and looking pretty good, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yu Yao saw the Dog Emperor coming, she wanted to stand up and salute.

He hurriedly walked to the bed, put his big hand around her, stopped her movements, and said gently: "Yao'er, you are in confinement, so these empty formalities are unnecessary."

Emperor Jing held her and sat beside the couch. He looked at her with concern, his eyes full of worry: "I heard that you summoned the imperial physician. What's the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yu Yao leaned against his chest and shook her head slightly, "I am fine, but today Concubine Shu came to ask for help, I think she knew she was poisoned. I don't know how to detoxify, so I just called Doctor Zhang to take a look. Doctor Zhang said that the poison is quite tricky, and because Concubine Shu is pregnant, there are many medicines that pregnant women should not take, so I need to go back and study it carefully."

After hearing what Yu Yao said, Emperor Jing's face darkened. "Although the queen has been executed, the poison she gave me is harming my children and concubines. I will order the Imperial Hospital to do their best to protect the mother and son of Concubine Shu and to do their best to detoxify them. Don't worry, Yao'er."

Yu Yao smiled slightly, "Then I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Concubine Shu."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, and suddenly took out a piece of rice paper from his body, slowly unfolded it, handed it to her and said: "Yao'er, I have thought of a few names recently. Please see which one you like and choose one for our child."

Yu Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect that this dog emperor would actually let her choose a name.

She thought he would directly issue an order to give the name, and her heart warmed, and a smile flashed in her eyes. But she did not refuse, and reached out to take it and look at it.

First, there are more than a dozen male names: Rong Qi, Rong Jin, Rong Chang, Rong Xuan, Rong Yi, Rong Min, Rong Xi, Rong Yu, Rong Han…

The following are female names: Rongzhi, Rongyan, Rongshu, Ronglu, Ronglan, Rongxin, Rongyao, Rongwan, Rongtan, Rongmi...

Looking at the rows of names above, she thought they all sounded nice and that all of them would be good. Suddenly, she had a hard time choosing.

"Your Majesty, please choose one. I think they are all good."

Yu Yao looked at the rice paper in her hand and said in a troubled tone.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Emperor Jing couldn't help but chuckle. He stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "Yao'er, you look like you want to push the responsibility of choosing a name back to me."

She glanced at him coquettishly and said, "Your Majesty, it is really difficult for me to choose these names. You are the child's father, so it is more appropriate for you to choose."

Emperor Jing shook his head helplessly, his eyes falling on the name on the rice paper again.

He ran his fingers slowly over the names, as if he was thinking seriously.

After a while, his fingers stopped on the names "Rong Qi" and "Rong Wan".

"Yao'er, I think the boy should be named Rong Qi. I hope he will have a smooth life, be kind-hearted, and be blessed by God. The girl should be named Rong Wan. I hope she will be as gentle and charming as her name, with a graceful demeanor."

Yu Yao smiled slightly after hearing this, "Your Majesty has chosen very well. I also like these two names very much."

Although the Dog Emperor is a playboy and a lecher, he does have good talent and ability, and your name is also very good.

At least it sounds much better than the one she named.

After hearing her praise, Emperor Jing smiled and felt very happy. He hugged her tighter.

"Since Yao'er likes it, then it's settled."

He put the rice paper aside and continued, "Yao'er, our child will be one month old in a few days. The full-month banquet for our child should be grand, but I was busy with government affairs in my previous reign, so I am having a headache about who to entrust the preparation of the full-month banquet to."

The queen had been deposed, and his mother was concentrating on worshipping Buddha. For a moment, he didn't know who to hand the throne to.

Yu Yao did not say anything, but just leaned quietly on the Dog Emperor's chest, twisting his falling hair with her small hands.

Let the Dog Emperor worry about such troubles. She just needs to rest and take good care of her body.

After giving birth, she took postpartum repair pills and firming pills.

She also drank various precious nourishing soups and medicines every day, and her body recovered very well. Her little face was rosy, white and tender, and her complexion was so good.

Her skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it, and she looks like she has never given birth.

It was just because she was in the confinement period and couldn't wash her hair or take a bath, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Yao suddenly remembered the cat ban. She looked up at Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you issued an order to ban cats nationwide. Is that true?"

When Emperor Jing heard this, his face darkened instantly. Thinking of the vicious curse uttered by the queen before her death, the anger in his heart surged instantly.

"Yao'er, I have indeed issued this order. That vicious woman cursed you before she died, saying that you would be transformed into a rat in your next life and she would be transformed into a cat in her next life, and she would bite you to death in every life, so that you would never have peace. How could I tolerate such a curse? I am also afraid that the curse would come true, so I issued this order."

Yu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't believe any of this. She herself was a tasker and would never enter the cycle of reincarnation, so how could there be any afterlife?

But he still felt quite comfortable with the Dog Emperor's actions, which was enough to show that the Dog Emperor cared about him very much.

"Your Majesty, I understand your painstaking efforts. But Your Majesty is a wise ruler. These are just bad words from the Queen and cannot be trusted. Cats are innocent creatures. If cats are banned nationwide, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to the people. It is common for people to raise cats to catch mice. Moreover, cats can also check the rat infestation in the palace."

Emperor Jing frowned. He knew in his heart that what she said made some sense, but the queen's curse before her death was like a thorn in his heart.

"Yao'er, I know you have a kind heart, but you don't understand the dangers of harem fighting. Cats in the harem are easily exploited and become the source of trouble."

Yu Yao smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, if you ban cats because you are worried about them being exploited, then many things in the palace may be used for evil. Do you have to ban them? As long as we strengthen management, such as limiting the range of cats' activities, allowing them to move only in specific areas, and arranging special people to watch over them, we can avoid being exploited. Moreover, if cats can catch mice freely in the palace, it can also reduce the risk of diseases spread by mice, which is also beneficial to everyone in the harem."

Emperor Jing looked at her, feeling a little shaken. He sighed and said, "Yao'er, I need to think about this matter carefully again."

A few days later, Emperor Jing lifted the ban on cats.

As soon as this decree was issued, everyone from court officials to ordinary people breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of the second prince and the little princess's full moon banquet.
