Luo Qingyan was shocked at the doctor's words. He closed his eyes slowly and sat on the chair dejectedly. He clenched his hands and didn't speak for a long time.
Doctor Zheng had never seen Luo Qingyan like this. He was also amazed. He explained hurriedly, "Her highness has been trapped in the ice cellar for more than three hours. It's not been easy that both the mother and baby are fine..."
"Both the mother and baby are fine?" Luo Qingyan murmured and suddenly sneered. Doctor Zheng knew that he had said something wrong, so he stood still and didn't say anything.
After a while, Luo Qingyan opened his eyes. The pain in his eyes had been suppressed. He tried hard to open his mouth and said slowly, "Don't tell anyone, especially Her Highness."
After a pause, he said something in a lower voice. The doctor tried his best but still failed to hear it clearly. "In her previous life, she had watched her child die. This time she has to suffer such pain again. How can she bear it?"
Thinking of the gentle smile on Yun Shang's face when she teased the baby, Luo Qingyan felt as if his throat was strangled, unable to breathe. How could she stand it? She surely would blame herself for not protecting her child well... If she knew that she could never get pregnant again...
Luo Qingyan couldn't bear to think about it anymore. He suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go to check Liu Yinfeng and then go back to her highness soon. Or she will be worried and suspicious.
Liu Yinfeng's condition was worse than Yun Shang. Some parts of his flesh had rotten, but fortunately it was not too serious. The doctor had already removed the rotten part. However, Liu Yinfeng hadn't woken up and had a fever.
"We have to bring down the fever tonight, or he will be in danger." Doctor Zheng said in a low voice. He thought for a moment and said, "Your highness, don't worry. I'll stay here tonight. He'll be fine."
Luo Qingyan nodded stiffly and looked at Liu Yinfeng, who was lying on the bed with a flushed face. He was silent for a while before he went out and returned to Yun Shang's room.
Yun Shang was teasing the baby in her arms with a bright smile on her face. Seeing Luo Qingyan come back, Yun Shang looked up at him with a smile and said happily, "Qingyan, Qingyan, come on. Your son is a bad guy. He peed on my hand just now. I suffered so much to give birth to him. He just paid me back like this. What an ungrateful boy. Ha ha..."
Although Yun Shang was complaining, there was joy in her eyes. However, Luo Qingyan felt as if he was being soaked in an ice cellar. The pain that had been suppressed suddenly rose, extending to his limbs, making him almost unable to move.
Yun Shang was still looking at him. Luo Qingyan took a deep breath and smiled. He walked to Yun Shang and held her in his arms, not daring to look at the baby in her arms. He quickly said, "I went to see Liu Yinfeng just now. He had a fever. I left Dr. Zheng there to take care of him. As long as his fever could be brought down tonight, he will be fine. Didn't you said that you wanted to move back to the South Yard? It's a little shabby here. I've asked someone to prepare a sedan chair for you and the wet nurse will take the baby there. Ask Qin Yi to put a curtain hat on you lest you get a cold..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "okay." Then she handed the baby to the wet nurse and stood up, letting Qin Yi help her put on her clothes.
