When Luo Qingyan returned to the yard, the baby had been held up by a midwife. She had wiped the blood off the baby's body and wrapped the baby with the prepared swaddling cloth. Seeing Luo Qingyan come in, the midwife quickly approached him with a smile and said gently, "Congratulations, your highness. It's a little prince."
Luo Qingyan didn't even look at the baby. He went straight to the bed and sat down, only to find that Yun Shang was closing her eyes and seemed to have no reaction. Luo Qingyan's heart sank. He turned around and asked Doctor Zheng, "What's wrong with her highness? Why did she faint?"
Doctor Zheng smiled and said, "Her highness is just a little weak. She will be fine after some sleep."
Luo Qingyan was in a daze for a while. Then he held Yun Shang's arm and found her pulse was still beating. Luo Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and tucked the lock of her wet hair behind her ear. His hand holding Yun Shang trembled.
He had never been so grateful in his life. He thanked the Heavenly God that his bad deeds of killing many people before hadn't caught up with his beloved one. It was good as long as she was fine. A drop of warm water fell on the back of Yun Shang's hand...
The room was filled with laughter and chatter after the long tension. Qin Yi took the baby from the midwife and looked at him with a smile. The baby was pink, very lovable. Qin Yi fixed her eyes on him and heard Qian Zhuo say, "The baby looks like her highness. He must be a beautiful boy in the future."
Qin Yi also smiled and nodded, "Yes, she looks like her highness."
"I'll take the little prince to have a bath first." The midwife said with a smile.
Qin Yi nodded slightly and followed the midwife into the bathroom.
Luo Qingyan turned to the doctor in white and said softly, "you can stay at home these days. Shang'er has been frozen in the ice cellar for so long. I'm worried about her health."
The doctor in white nodded and said, "The little prince is premature. He is too small. I'm worried about him."
Luo Qingyan frowned and said nothing.
After a while, the midwife and Qin Yi took the baby out after the bath. Qin Yi held the baby in front of Luo Qingyan and bowed, "Your highness, her highness is tired. If the little prince makes a noise, I'm afraid he will disturb her highness. I'll take him to the South Yard first and let the nanny take care of him for a while."
Luo Qingyan was looking at Yun Shang with soft eyes. Hearing what Qin Yi said, he didn't raise his head but nodded casually. "Go ahead."
Qin Yi felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything more and left with the baby in her arms.
Yun Shang had slept for a whole day. Even though the doctor had said that she was fine, Luo Qingyan was still worried. He kept staring at Yun Shang by the bed and didn't leave for a moment.
It was not until the dusk of the second day that Yun Shang finally woke up. She opened her eyes and stared at Luo Qingyan for a long time. Then she suddenly raised her hand to touch her belly. With a flash of horror on her face, she quickly held Luo Qingyan's hand and asked, "Where is my baby?"
Luo Qingyan frowned and said in a low voice, "Qin Yi was afraid that the baby would disturb you, so she took him to the South Yard and asked the wet nurse to feed him. I'll order someone to ask Qin Yi to bring him here."
Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. After Luo Qingyan gave the order, she remembered another thing. "Where is Mister Liu?"
Luo Qingyan didn't know how to answer. He had only been paying attention to Yun Shang these two days, and had no mood to ask about Liu Yinfeng. After a moment of silence, he said to Yun Shang, "I'll send someone to ask."
Yun Shang took a look at Luo Qingyan and nodded slightly. After a while, she said softly, "Mister Liu followed me into the ice cellar that day, trying to save me. But the way he came in was blocked and he couldn't find the exit. In order to protect me and the baby in my belly, he took off his clothes and gave it to me."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang in his arms and nodded repeatedly, "I know he saved you. I will thank him and pay him pack." Then he ordered someone to check on Liu Yinfeng.
After a while, Qin Yi brought the baby here with a wet nurse. Seeing that Yun Shang had woken up, Qin Yi broke into a smile. She quickly walked to the bed and put the baby beside Yun Shang. "Your highness, look. It's a little prince. The little prince looks like your highness, but his eyes look like his highness's."
Yun Shang lowered her head and looked at the little baby in the swaddle blanket. Tears welled up in her eyes. She held the baby in her arms and murmured, "Baby, my baby."
Luo Qingyan wiped off the tears from the corner of Yun Shang's eyes and said softly, "He is fine. Why are you crying?"
Yun Shang sniffed and held back her tears. She lifted her red eyes and glared at Luo Qingyan, "Uncle is a bad man. He wanted to give up our child."
Luo Qingyan stared at Yun Shang without saying anything.
Yun Shang lowered her head and played with the baby. The baby giggled, and so did Yun Shang. But after a while, the child opened his mouth again, yawned and suddenly cried.
Yun Shang was shocked, "Why does he cry all of a sudden?
