Seeing that the regent had not come to court for a long time, many civil and military officials could not sit still and began to speculate on the truth behind this. Before the rumors could spread, the emperor announced the news that Xu Shihuan was pregnant, causing an uproar among the officials.

Wen Yidi refused everyone's visit, including the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess, on the grounds that the fetus was not yet firmly seated. Although the two of them were unhappy in their hearts, they did not dare to show it in front of Wen Yidi. After all, this is the Emperor's first child, and no one can be too cautious.

Although Wen Yidi came quietly to accompany Xu Shihuan every night, her condition became worse as the day of delivery came closer. She was always hungry and panicked, and after eating a few mouthfuls she felt starved.

She felt like her body was broken and she wanted to urinate almost every half an hour. From day to night, she couldn't sleep a full night's sleep, and she became more and more anxious.

On this day, as soon as Wen Yidi entered the room, he saw Xu Shihuan sitting on the bed, wiping tears alone. Seeing Wen Yidi coming over, she didn't wipe the tears on her face and pretend that nothing was wrong, but started crying more and more sadly.

Faced with this situation, Wen Yidi suddenly panicked. But he pretended to be calm, walked to Xu Shihuan, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped the tears on her face.

The discomfort accumulated over the past few days poured out like a flood from a bursting embankment. Xu Shihuan sobbed and collapsed and said:

"I'm so sleepy now, but I can't fall asleep. When I was lying on the bed, my bones were so sore that they seemed to burst. I finally felt a little sleepy, but it was time to urinate again."

With that said, Xu Shihuan raised his feet and motioned for Wen Yidi to look at them. Wen Yidi had long discovered that his feet, which were originally well-jointed, had become swollen in recent days. He asked Dr. Pan several times in private, but Dr. Pan only said that this was a normal phenomenon of pregnancy and that it would be fine after giving birth.

"Look at my feet, they are swollen like pig's trotters. Wen Yidi, I really can't stand it anymore. If this continues, I will go crazy!"

Xu Shihuan almost yelled these words, alarming the servants in the mansion and her parents. They all came to the courtyard and listened to the person guarding the door saying that the emperor had just entered, so they gave up the idea of ​​breaking in.

Xu Weimin and Guan Shanyue came to the door and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the house. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xu Shihuan's crying gradually subsided.

"If this continues, I'm really worried that something will happen to Shihuan."

"Then what can we do? There is still nearly a month before she gives birth. This woman has to go through hell to give birth to a child. She still has a lot to endure."

Xu Weimin and Guan Shanyue whispered. Although they were worried about their daughter, they had no other choice but to let Xu Shihuan carry on like this.

At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the room, which made people think of a slap. At first, the couple thought they were hallucinating. But then, the snapping sounds came one after another.

"No, Wen Yidi is attacking Shihuan!"

Guan Shanyue was so anxious that she even called the emperor by his previous name. Xu Weimin was still calm, but when he heard his wife's words, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and was about to cover her mouth with his hands.

After hearing a bang, Guan Shanyue pushed the door open, but Xu Weimin couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. What caught their eyes was Wen Yidi squatting in front of Xu Shihuan, letting her raise her hand to slap his back.

Realizing that the door was pushed open, Wen Yidi stood up quickly. Seeing Guan Shanyue's face change from anger to surprise, he coughed twice and said awkwardly:

"I feel a little sore on my back, so I asked Shihuan to give me a few pats. There is no need to worry."

The sensible servants had already quietly retreated. Xu Weimin's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a suitable reason to explain their behavior of pushing the door open just now.

"Hahaha, your Majesty came really early today. I thought you hadn't come over yet, so I was going to go in and see how Shi Huan was doing. Now that you're here, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Weimin dragged Guan Shanyue, who was still dazed beside him, and fled back to his room as if fleeing. Wen Yidi closed the door and turned around to find that Xu Shihuan had a smile on his face.

"The two elders really shocked me when they suddenly barged in. Is it possible that they are still worried that I will attack you?"

Wen Yidi turned around, massaging the hand that Xu Shihuan had just hit, and said softly:

"You can still laugh? So many people just saw me squatting in front of you and letting you beat me. I'm afraid I won't have any face left in Xu Mansion from now on."

After so many days, Xu Shihuan finally had a smile on his face. After the fuss just now, the annoyance in her heart seemed to be gone. Seeing Wen Yidi looking aggrieved in front of her, she smiled softly and said:

"I didn't force you. You took the initiative and wanted me to hit you a few times to vent your anger. I didn't mention that your back was so stiff that it made my hands hurt."

Taking advantage of Xu Shihuan's improved mood, Wen Yidi quickly adjusted her to a comfortable position and let her sleep for a while. Xu Shihuan thought it would be difficult for him to fall asleep, but he fell into deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Seeing Xu Shihuan sleeping, Wen Yidi took a long breath. I have to say that he was busy running in both directions these days, and he was really tired.

But compared to what Xu Shihuan is going through now, what he has done is nothing. After thinking about it, Wen Yidi also closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. When Xu Shihuan got up to relieve herself, he helped her over.

"Wen Yidi, wake up, it's time to go to court."

Xu Shihuan had just finished urinating by himself when he saw the sky outside the window was bright and decisively went to wake Wen Yidi up.

"What? Do you need to urinate? Or do you have a cramp somewhere?"

Wen Yidi hadn't fully woken up yet, so she relied on instinct to raise her eyelids. Seeing that Xu Shihuan was not on the bed but standing up, he suddenly panicked.

"I have nothing to do. However, it will be dawn. If you don't get up, you won't be able to make it to the court."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yidi quickly stood up and rushed out. When leaving the house, he did not forget to close the door, for fear that Xu Shihuan would catch the cold wind.

"My child, I beg you, let me give birth to you quickly and have a good rest. If this continues, your father and your mother will not be able to bear it anymore."

Xu Shihuan caressed his belly and said thoughtfully.
