Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 458: The Baby Is Born
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The door to the clinic was closed.
Long Xiaoyuan was shocked for a moment.
Shi Qingzhou seemed to have foreseen it, so he was not surprised.
Liu Suifeng looked at them and smiled at the look on their face.
“Why do you have such an expression? What’s wrong?”
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng, and his mouth twitched. He said lightly, “I’ve seen awesome people, but I’ve never seen anyone who is more awesome than you. I’m convinced.”
Liu Suifeng raised an eyebrow. “Is this a sarcastic comment or a compliment?”
Ouyang Chuan walked down from the second floor.
“Don’t mind him. Take it as a compliment.”
“Okay.” Liu Suifeng laughed loudly. “Ouyang, you are right.”
Long Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes.
Shi Qingzhou said, “How many days do you plan to open the clinic a month?”
“Only three to five days. I think it is enough.”
Long Xiaoyuan was impressed.
“Can you treat that person with rheumatism just now?” Long Xiaoyuan thought of common problem for modern people.
If Liu Suifeng was in modern times, he would be a very popular doctor if he could cure rheumatism and rheumatoid.
“It’s just a small case.” Liu Suifeng looked at Long Xiaoyuan strangely. “Actually, average doctors are able to deal with it.”
Long Xiaoyuan fell silent. Some modern diseases were nothing here.
However, if it was a surgery, Liu Suifeng would be inferior. After all, there was gap between humans and technology.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “If I suffer rheumatism when I grow old, I’ll definitely ask you to cure me.”
“It would be difficult according to your current physical condition,” Liu Suifeng said.
“Why?”
“Have you done any menial work, or laundry?”
“Well…”
Liu Suifeng shrugged. “So, it’s hard.”
Long Xiaoyuan said, “But I often sit and read the files. This is not good. I heard that it hurts my body.”
Liu Suifeng sneered. “Don’t worry. If you feel sick, I’ll give you acupuncture on the neck.
The rest is fine.”
Long Xiaoyuan was speechless.
What else could he say? He imagined that he would suffer rheumatism, but he was told that it was unlikely that would happen.
Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. “We’ve been out for a long time. It’s time for us to go back.”
“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded and held Shi Qingzhou’s hand. “Qingzhou, let’s go back.”
“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou nodded.
The couple left.
Ouyang Chuan said, “Did you ask that person to come over tomorrow night?”
Yes. I’ll give him another treatment tomorrow night, since I took his money. I have the medical ethics. Ouyang, don’t worry.”
Ouyang Chuan rolled his eyes at him.
“I don’t worry at all. Anyway, I’m not the patient. Besides, even if the reputation is ruined, it’s your reputation, not mine.”
Ouyang Chuan’s ruthless words hit Liu Suifeng.
“Ouyang, how can you say this? I’m really heartbroken to hear this. We’re in the same boat. If I’m said to be without any medical morals, and my reputation is ruined, that will ruin your reputation as well. How could you sound that you have nothing to do with me?”
Ouyang Chuan sneered. “You’re thinking too much. Actually, there’s still a big difference between us. You can try and see if my reputation will be ruin after your reputation is damaged.”
Ouyang Chuan looked at Liu Suifeng gloatingly.
Liu Suifeng was lost for words.
After Long Xiaoyuan left the clinic, he couldn’t help but say, “For someone like Liu Suifeng, only the word ‘royal’ could bring business to his clinic. Otherwise…”
Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “I don’t think so. With time, people will know his capability and come to beg him for treatment.”
“That’s true.” Long Xiaoyuan thought about the reputation that Liu Suifeng enjoyed. “If the people know that this is the clinic opened by the eccentric doctor, I’m afraid more people will come.”
Shi Qingzhou said, “Yes.”
Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou’s hand.
“Qingzhou, we should have brought our son out today. That little guy is locked up in the palace all day long. He’s wretched.”
Shi Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. “Okay. We are not busy lately anyway. You can take him out anytime.”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Alright. We can have a picnic together.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled. “Why do you like picnic so much?”
Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment. “I feel good when sitting on the ground. It means leisure.”
Shi Qingzhou nodded thoughtfully. “Okay.”
One day a few months later, both Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were worried.
Because Madam Shi was giving birth!
Four hours ago, Madam Shi started to have contraction, and Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left the palace. They had been waiting after they arrived at the general’s mansion.
However, it had been four hours, yet there was no news from Madam Shi.
Only basins of hot water were sent in.
It was scary.
Shi Qingshan had rushed back from the border when Madam Shi was about to give birth. He was in the mansion.
However, Shi Qingshan was held back outside the delivery room.
Compared to Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan, who was anxious, General Shi was much calmer.
“It took your mother a whole day to give birth to you. It’s been only four hours. Don’t worry.”
Shi Qingzhou frowned. “But Mother is older now, and it’s much more dangerous than before.”
Shi Qingshan waved his hand indifferently. “Don’t worry. Your mother has a good physique condition. She’ll be fine.”
Long Xiaoyuan patted Shi Qingzhou’s hand. “Don’t worry. Mother will be fine.”
Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath. “Okay.”
It was tormenting to wait.
It had been only four hours, Shi Qingzhou and the others waited.
To their surprise, the baby was not born in the next eight hours.
Now, even Shi Qingshan was worried.
Shi Qingzhou said, “Father, get more midwives and doctors.”
Long Xiaoyuan said, “Go get Liu Suifeng.”
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were called over.
Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly after he arrived. “I really can’t help with the birth.”
He was a man, and he didn’t know how.
“Go inside and feel her pulse with a golden thread in the outer room. In this way, you can diagnose, right?” Long Xiaoyuan said.
Liu Suifeng nodded. “Okay.”
After everything was arranged inside, Liu Suifeng entered the delivery room.
A moment later, Liu Suifeng came out with a frown.
“How is she?” Shi Qingzhou quickly asked.
Shi Qingshan and Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng as well.
Liu Suifeng frowned. “Her situation is not good. You’d better give her some internal power to help her, but you need to know some acupuncture points.”
Shi Qingzhou paused and said, “I’ll do it.”
Liu Suifeng nodded. “You are indeed the best candidate, as your internal power is soft and feminine, which could help your mother.”
“Okay. Tell me what I should pay attention to.”
Liu Suifeng immediately gave Shi Qingzhou a detailed instruction on what he needed to do.
After Shi Qingzhou memorized everything, he took a deep breath and entered the delivery room.
Long Xiaoyuan was even more worried after Shi Qingzhou went inside.
Was childbirth so terrifying?
It actually took so long?
Long Xiaoyuan felt his legs tremble. He didn’t know if he was standing too long or he was nervous.
After a long time, when Long Xiaoyuan he thought the baby wouldn’t come out, he heard some noises from the delivery room.
A baby was crying loud, and Long Xiaoyuan was startled.
“The baby! The baby is born!”
Shi Qingshan realized what happened and rushed to the delivery room.
He was stopped when he ran over.
But soon, the delivery room door opened and a small baby was sent out.
“Congratulations, General. It’s a young master.”
At this moment, Shi Qingshan almost burst into tears.
It turned out that he was excited and worried, but he had concealed his emotion too well.
However, all emotions were released when he saw the little child.
Such a little child was his son.
Long Xiaoyuan also trembled with excitement.
He felt nothing even when his own son was born.
Now looking at this small baby who was related to Qingzhou by blood, he was beside himself with excitement.
Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help reaching out his hand. He wanted to gently touch the baby, but just as he extended his hand, he suddenly withdrew. He was afraid that he would hurt the child.
Shi Qingshan realized what he wanted to do. “Your Majesty, do you want to hold the baby?”
“Can I?” Long Xiaoyuan asked with anticipation and uncertainty. “Of course. It is the child’s honor.” Shi Qingshan said hurriedly.
“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded instantly. “I’ll hold him.”
As he said, Long Xiaoyuan carefully held the baby.
He was moved when he held the baby in his hands.
Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help lifting the child up and kissing him carefully.
The wet nurse came out and congratulated the family. Long Xiaoyuan did not dare to hold such a small child for too long, afraid that he would hurt the child, so he quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child away.
“Where’s Qingzhou?” Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked.
“The Empress is still in the room. He’s exhausted.”
Long Xiaoyuan said, “Can I go inside?”
“Well…” The servants hesitated.
After all, there was not only the Empress but also the Empress’ mother in the room. Besides, the room had a bloody smell after the childbirth. If the Emperor was offended, they would be doomed.
A blessed thing could turn into a bad thing
Shi Qingshan didn’t care about this at all.
Actually, he only thought that his wife was Long Xiaoyuan’s mother-in-law, his elder and family. It didn’t matter if Long Xiaoyuan entered the room. He never thought of the smell or offence.
Shi Qingshan said directly, “Of course, you can go inside. Your Majesty, go ahead.”
In fact, there was no place in this world that the Emperor could not go.
The Emperor could go anywhere!
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan entered the room.
Shi Qingzhou lay on a bed in the outer room. There was no one around the bed.
Long Xiaoyuan came over. “Qingzhou?”
Shi Qingzhou opened his eyes and smiled at sight of Long Xiaoyuan.
“It’s you. Why do you come?”
“I’m worried about you. How do you feel now?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry. Since you’re here, we will disturb Mother. Carry me out.”
Was he so tired that he needed Long Xiaoyuan to carry him out? That was why he was resting here?
And he chased all the servants away?
“Why didn’t you ask the servants to carry you out?” Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but ask.
Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “You know me. I don’t like others to touch me.”
Long Xiaoyuan’s heart ached. He kissed Shi Qingzhou’s mouth gently.
“What about me? I hug you to sleep every day.”
Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “Do you want to be one of the others?”
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head vigorously. “No, no. I don’t want to.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled. “There you are.”
Long Xiaoyuan kissed Shi Qingzhou again. This was a happy kiss.
Afterwards, Long Xiaoyuan carried him out.
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were waiting outside, and they were shocked when they saw Long Xiaoyuan holding Shi Qingzhou.
They knew Shi Qingzhou well. If he had had other ways, he would not have showed his fragile side in front of others.
Shi Qingzhou would laugh even if he was injured.
Long Xiaoyuan said, “Liu Suifeng, come with me. Qingzhou is exhausted. Come and take a look at him.”
“Okay.” Liu Suifeng nodded. “I’m coming.”
When they got to Shi Qingzhou’s room, Long Xiaoyuan stepped aside, so Liu Suifeng could sit in front of Shi Qingzhou.
Shi Qingzhou lay on the bed, and Liu Suifeng felt his pulse.
Long Xiaoyuan quickly asked when Liu Suifeng withdrew his hand, “How is he? Is Qingzhou okay? ”
Liu Suifeng shook his head. “There’s no big problem. He’ll be fine after resting for two days. I’ll prescribe a set of medicated meals. He’ll be better after he has it for two days.”
“Okay. Hurry up so he can drink it right away,” Long Xiaoyuan said.
“Sure. I’ll go.”
Liu Suifeng prescribed the medicine and personally boiled the medicine.
Ouyang Chuan went away with Liu Suifeng.
Long Xiaoyuan stayed with Shi Qingzhou.
“Qingzhou, how could you exhaust yourself?”
Shi Qingzhou smiled bitterly. “I was scared by her look, so I couldn’t help exhausting my strength. Thankfully, Mother and Brother are fine. I saw him too. He’s a very strong boy. He grew well inside Mother.”
“What about your mother? Is she okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mother is fine too.”
“That’s good.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded in relief.
After Long Xiaoyuan chatted with Shi Qingzhou for a while, he asked Shi Qingzhou to rest. “Don’t say anything. Sleep well.”
Shi Qingzhou didn’t refuse. In fact, he was tired. Three days later, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left the general’s mansion.
When they left, the baby had already opened his eyes. He even smiled in his sleep.
“The baby is very smart. He’s actually laughing in his dreams a few days after he was born.”
Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help saying when he left.
Shi Qingzhou smiled. “My mother said that I did the same when I was small.”
Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Qingzhou, do you mean that your brother is as smart as you?”
Shi Qingzhou glanced at him indifferently. “Well, you can understand it that way.”
Long Xiaoyuan quickly pointed at himself. “Qingzhou, how about me? Am I smart?”
Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. “I can’t tell now. You should ask your parents about your childhood instead of asking me.”
Long Xiaoyuan was hurt. “You know that my parents are gone. Are you bullying me because I have no parents?”
“Oh, you’re a child without parents. How pitiful.” Shi Qingzhou sighed.
Long Xiaoyuan felt helpless.
Shi Qingzhou patted his hand. “Come on, let’s go back.”
Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. “No, I’m not going back. You can go back on your own.”
Shi Qingzhou raised an eyebrow. “Are you really not going back?”
Long Xiaoyuan snorted.
Shi Qingzhou shrugged. “Fine. As you like. I’ll go back by myself.”
Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes widened, “Shi Qingzhou!”
Shi Qingzhou smiled. “What’s wrong?”
Long Xiaoyuan roared, “I dare you to do that.”
Shi Qingzhou shrugged. “I didn’t want to do that. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go back?”
Long Xiaoyuan stared at him.
Shi Qingzhou sighed and held his hand, “Why do you behave like a child? Alright. Let’s go back together.”
Long Xiaoyuan pouted.
Shi Qingzhou went up and kissed Long Xiaoyuan, “Can we go now?”
Long Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously. “Let’s go.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled.
