Yao Shaoqing can still see the slightest bit of his former self.
The originally huge pregnant belly disappeared, and the body quickly lost weight due to the loss. The flesh on both sides of the cheeks was deeply sunken. His eyes were black and blue, and his white robe was covered with blood. He looked like he had been hungry for days and three nights like that of disaster victims during the famine.
The pillow in his arms looked shriveled because of the loose cotton. Yao Shaoqing held him tightly in his arms like a treasure, and even Song Jinshu was not allowed to touch it.
As a young prince who was married to Prince Duan from a neighboring country, Yao Shaoqing had never been so embarrassed.
Even when he was pinned down and bullied by Xiao Yize, he always retained the dignity and self-esteem of Princess Duanqin.
Yan Cheng invited the two into the inner room, called the maid to bring snacks and tea, and asked someone to guard the door.
Liu Cong's injuries were caused when he was fighting with the palace guards. Song Jinshu stood in front of Liu Cong and applied medicine to his injuries despite Yan Cheng's cannibalistic gaze.
Yao Shaoqing was pregnant with twins, so the delivery time would inevitably have to be advanced. Therefore, a few days after Song Jinshu and Yan Cheng returned to Youdu, Liu Cong also took Yao Shaoqing back to Youdu.
I originally thought that Yao Shaoqing's delivery would be much smoother since there were imperial doctors guarding him in Youdu. But he didn't expect that this time it would harm Yao Shaoqing.
Liu Cong was just a personal bodyguard brought by Yao Shaoqing from the border county. Even if he was promoted to be with his master, he was still just a guard with a sword in the palace. Liu Cong only knew a little about the entanglement between Yao Shaoqing and Xiao Yize. Out of which he could tell much less to Song Jinshu about them.
After Yao Shaoqing returned to Youdu, he began to have frequent high fevers. All the imperial doctors that Xiao Yize called, were refused by Yao Shaoqing. The night before he gave birth, Liu Cong, guarding the eaves, could still hear the noises coming from their room. The two men quarreled.
Afterward, Xiao Yize slammed the door and walked out.
When Liu Cong entered the room with water, Yao Shaoqing was covered in blood and kneeling in front of the bed with disheveled hair.
It was also at that time he noticed that Yao Shaoqing's black hair had already been turned completely white.
The contractions came unexpectedly, and before Yao Shaoqing could recover, the child could not wait to come out. Just when Liu Cong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Xiao Yize came back, picked up Yao Shaoqing, who was shrinking into a ball in pain and left the palace.
"If I had known that the young prince would become like this in the end," Liu Cong buried his face in his palms. The men on the battlefield in Bian County never shed tears, but he was crying like a child at this time. "Even if I had to try my best, I wouldn't have let Prince Duan take the young prince away."
No one knows what happened that night except Xiao Yize and Yao Shaoqing.
When Yao Shaoqing was sent back, all his hair had turned into white hair, his towering belly was deflated, and there was no baby around Xiao Yize at all.
When he woke up, he was as alert as a three-year-old child and would only hug the pillow and say it was his child.
"The prince only said that the child could not be saved, and he never came to see the young prince again."
