Chapter 369: Cruel Will

"It made Eunuch Liu laugh. The general and several lieutenants were practicing martial arts at home. When the old slave passed by, the general was so happy that he forgot to go back and wash up before meeting the father-in-law. I asked the father-in-law not to be angry. This is the idea. If you don't like it, just treat your father-in-law to tea."

After that, Butler He handed over a purse. It wasn't heavy, and he could tell it was a banknote at a glance.

Eunuch Liu happily accepted the offer. It didn't mean that he was short of money, but for positions like theirs, not accepting them would often make the other party have more ideas, so he accepted them all equally.

Seeing this, Butler He breathed a sigh of relief!

Gu Shaoyu had finally come out of his excited state, so he apologized to Eunuch Liu.

"This made Eunuch Liu laugh. He is really surprised by this news. I will go back and wash up, and then follow my father-in-law into the palace!"

"General, don't be anxious, just take your time."

After bidding farewell to Eunuch Liu, Gu Shaoyu quickly returned to Xitang Courtyard to wash up and change clothes. When he left, he straightened his clothes before going out. At the same time, Luo Yuan had already prepared the horses, so a few people After getting on the horse, he followed Eunuch Liu and went straight to the imperial city.

In about the time it took to burn an incense stick, Gu Shaoyu arrived in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

"I have seen Your Majesty, please give His Majesty a blessing!"

"Hahaha, we are finally here. Now you are blessed with three blessings! Your wife is really amazing. She gave you four boys in one breath, which is almost as many as mine."

"I don't dare. The princes are so noble. My son is just a kid, so naturally I can't compare with them."

Only then did Gu Shaoyu realize that they were three sons.

Although I don’t have a daughter, I do have three sons. The only thought in my mind is that enough is enough, and I won’t have any more children.

Just as he was thinking this, His Majesty the Emperor spoke again.

"The tribute matter was done well a few days ago. Prime Minister Guo has told me a long time ago that he will let you go back to guard the wife's delivery. At that time, I still thought it was strange why the woman had just given birth. Why would you do this? Now I know that it is You want to have three children, why didn’t you tell me so early?”

The emperor's words sounded very casual, but Gu Shaoyu was not stupid and knew that this was a test, so he calmed down and answered.

"Back to Your Majesty, I was also surprised when I learned about this. At that time, my wife received a diagnosis from Dr. Tan, saying that they were twins. The Gu family already has such a bloodline, and my great-grandmother passed away because of giving birth to twins, so I I was so worried that I wanted to go back and take a look, but I really didn’t expect that it would be three boys. So, please forgive me, I don’t dare to hide it.”

Hearing this, the emperor glanced sideways at Eunuch Liu, and then saw him hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"General Gu's words are true. When the old slave went to convey the order, the general also rushed over with a lot of surprise on his face."

Eunuch Liu's words dispelled the emperor's suspicion.

Then he laughed loudly and said.

"You don't know, don't you know? Forget it, but the message sent here says that both mother and son are safe, so you can be more secure as an errand in the court."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's heart tightened slightly. Does this mean you don't want him to leave?

Sure enough, just as he was thinking about it, he saw His Majesty the Emperor speaking.

"Since your wife gave birth safely, it doesn't matter whether you go back or not. When they recover, they will naturally go north to reunite with you. There is no need to run around again and waste time on the road. Jin's envoy seems to have been unruly these past two days, so you should work with the prince to think of ways to entertain him."

"His Majesty……"

Gu Shaoyu wanted to go back and was eager to set off right now.

But the emperor's words blocked his way, and there was nothing he could do. His requests were rejected several times, and finally the emperor waved his hand and told him to leave first, not bothering to talk nonsense with him.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu came happily and returned irritably.

I felt some "resentment" towards these three sons I had never met. It would have been better if he came out a few days later. By then, he would be on his way back anyway. Even if the emperor was not happy, it would be difficult to recall him.

When he thought that his wife had to do her own confinement, he didn't like anything. He was so angry as if someone was looking for trouble outside. As soon as he entered the door of Xitang Courtyard, he waved his sleeves and smashed a vase with a snap. .

Fortunately, the house was full of his own people, so there was no inappropriate news. However, after venting his anger, Gu Shaoyu still had to write a letter.

Thinking that he would ask someone to send the news back to Jinling City as soon as possible so that his wife could have a confinement period with peace of mind, he told Luo Yuan at the same time to pick a few skilled people and follow him to the post house later. have a look.

He wanted to know if the Ninth Prince was causing trouble again. If it was really because of his making trouble that he couldn't go back, then he wouldn't mind letting his subordinates relax the Ninth Prince's muscles.

The news was sent out half an hour later. The secret guards of the Tiger Ben Army hurriedly sent Gu Shaoyu's letter to Jinling City. By the time the letter reached Du Jingyi's hands, she was already sitting The eighth day of confinement.

Under Dr. Xia's care, Du Jingyi recovered quickly. If her belly hadn't recovered more slowly, she would have felt like she was before she was born.

Three children, six wet nurses, carefully and seriously cared for them, so they have grown up a lot compared to when they were just born.

"There is only a sitting bath here, no shower, otherwise you can wash up now."

Everything that Doctor Xia said is different from the way of confinement in Daxing Dynasty, so Yingtao and others are full of curiosity every time they hear her say this.

Thanks to Doctor Xia's care, Du Jingyi is doing well, and the children are also doing well, so the Gu family has more respect for Doctor Xia.

Gu Xiaochun originally wanted to ask Doctor Xia to help save her pregnancy, but she said that there was only one child in her belly, and it was okay to find an ordinary doctor to help.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang did not force it.

After all, they have seen how Du Jingyi got pregnant and gave birth, so it is better to give birth one by one.

"Shower?"

"Yes, it's much more convenient to use a pipe to directly shower than a bucket."

"Then I understand. There is such a thing in the side room of the general's mansion in Sui'an City, but the general learned it from the royal pool. I wonder if the person who proposed this method is from the same place as Dr. Xia?"
