Chapter 704: At All Cost?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After putting away the medical book, Xue Liu saw Doctor Shen out of the small room. When they reached the front yard, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan saw them and quickly walked to Doctor Shen’s side.
Xue Liu’s eyes were so red that it was obvious that she had cried. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not ask anything and only said a few words to Doctor Shen before sending him to the carriage.
Xue Liu followed the carriage on her horse.
Only when Doctor Shen’s carriage had gone far away did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan look at each other again…
However, they still didn’t go to the small house at the back.
In the small room behind them, Zi Cui, Xia Han, and Miao Han were still wiping their tears. They wanted to cheer up and comfort the Empress, but it was the Empress who spoke first.
“You don’t have to be like this. Nothing happened to me when I gave birth to Shushu, right? As long as my body recovers, nothing will happen to me when I give birth to this child too.” Shao Youyue looked optimistic.
Zi Cui and the others naturally felt uncomfortable with that statement, but they all agreed.”Yes, you’re right. You will definitely be safe and sound when the time comes.”
“That’s right…” Shao Youyue was suddenly a little stunned. She leaned against the window on the bed and said after a long time, “It seems that I can’t do a blood test with Xue Yan.”
At the very least, there was no way to test it before the child in her stomach was born.
She had originally thought that if Doctor Shen said that she could make a small incision and drip a little blood, she would find Xue Yan and tell him about the situation. Then, she would give him a test. It would also be considered as solving one of her worries.
“Master, there’s still a long way to go in the future. It’s more important to recuperate first.” We can find an opportunity to have Xue Yan and the Emperor do the test. Even if we can’t find an opportunity now, we can always find one in the future.’
Shao Youyue nodded. “That’s the only way for now. Is there still no news from Changyu?” she asked after a pause.
“They’re still looking.” Xia Han replied. “There are still many people in Changyu. If we go from house to house and if there’s a child around the same age as the Crown Prince, they will investigate carefully. It will take some time.”
There were so many families in Changyu. There were several counties in the area, let alone towns and villages. Even though they said that they would be coming soon, they couldn’t come here openly in fear of being noticed by the Ji family and Consort Yi. There was a limit to their manpower, so they hadn’t finished checking all the families in Changyu.
“Then can you find him before I give birth to this child…” Shao Youyue asked. If she really died when she gave birth to this child, would she still be able to see her son? If only Xue Yan was really her son… At least she got the chance to see him…
“Definitely!” Zi Cui was afraid that the Empress would let her imagination run wild, so she immediately interjected. “Changyu has already checked many families. Master, you are only four months pregnant and there are at least five more months before you give birth. Master, don’t worry!”
“Yes, it’s true.” Xia Han and Miao Han agreed.
“I hope so.” At this point, Shao Youyue could only say this. After a moment of silence, she gave out an order, “Xia Han, go to town tomorrow and ask the people at Quanping Inn to tell Shuting that if he finds him in Changyu before I give birth, he will send my boy to the Imperial Capital safely at all costs and have a blood test with Emperor Hao.”
She also knew that the soon-to-be found child in Changyu will more likely be the Crown Prince..
