Same light

As they walked through the gardens and returned to the castle, Alfred beckoned for a servant to approach.

"Go and send an order to ask the federal mission to go to the conference hall and wait for me now."

The servant was ordered to leave, and another servant asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to help you prepare the car?"

"What's the rush?" Alfred said, waved him off, and helped Xiu walk to the inner hall.

It is one thing to tell someone to wait, but quite another when he goes.When I come back from a walk after dinner, I can definitely arrange an afternoon tea with my brother and feed him some snacks...

Alfred was thinking, when Xiu's hand on his forearm suddenly tightened.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

He turned his head to look at Xiu, only to see Xiu frowning slightly.

"I don't feel very good..." Xiu said.

Alfred was still thinking about the Federation envoy, and said, "Then I'm going now?"

"It's not that..." Xiu gasped slightly, "I don't think the child is well...I seem to..."

Before he could finish speaking, just a few words later, the pain worsened rapidly from being unbearable, Xiu Shi tightly grabbed Alfred's arm, and let out a muffled groan.

"elder brother!"

Alfred supported Xiu with all his strength to prevent him from falling down.He heard himself shouting orders for the doctor to come, and his mind went blank.

Xiu couldn't stand at all, and leaned against Alfred's arms with a bloodless face.

His pain had never been like this before. Alfred gritted his teeth and hugged him, not daring to run, fearing that the bumps would make Xiu more painful, so he strode quickly towards the medical wing of the castle.

For the first time, he regretted setting such a big castle as the queen's palace. The garden and the medical wing were at both ends of the castle, which was too far away.

The doctor who came pushing the moving bed met them halfway. Alfred put Xiu on the moving bed, and pushed the bed with a few doctors and ran in the castle.

"The situation is not good." Themis, who was kneeling on the bed and doing a simple check on Xiu, hurriedly said to Alfred, "Your Majesty, may I take the liberty to ask..."

"Stop paying attention to those etiquette nonsense at this time!"

Themis immediately abandoned the honorifics, and simply asked quickly: "What were you doing just now? Did you have any violent mood swings?"

Alfred said quickly, "A walk in the garden as ordered."

"I didn't feel tired... I didn't have mood swings... I didn't have any symptoms, that's all..." Xiu endured the severe pain and said intermittently.

They crashed into the door of the medical wing, and the obstetrician said, "Go directly to the sterile room! There was no accident, which means the child can't stay anymore."

The sterile room is where the surgery takes place.

Alfred was almost a little dazed. He and several doctors pulled the bed to the sterile room, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that there is still at least one month left?"

"Yes." Themis answered him. He was scolded by Alfred just now, and he didn't even dare to say a word of His Majesty. He tried his best to speak briefly about the situation, "but now it seems that we are going to have an operation in advance—we This situation has been discussed before and I have informed you of the possibility of premature labor at any time."

Xiu's forehead was wet with sweat, his black hair stuck to his smooth forehead, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Even so, he still tried to manage the situation as best he could.

"But it's so long in advance, child..." He paused to pant a few times to ease the pain, "Will the child be alright?"

Themis glanced at Alfred, not daring to answer this question, but this was already an answer.

"We originally expected to take out the two His Highness's by caesarean section in one to two months..." Themis said tactfully.

Xiu closed his eyes in pain, not knowing whether it was because of the pain or the answer, Alfred held his hand tightly and asked, "Is there a way to increase safety?"

Themis was not an obstetrician, so he immediately asked the chief surgeon who was preparing for the operation to answer questions.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The doctor said nervously, "We have medicines that can force the fetus to stay in the mother's body for a longer period of time. For premature babies, staying an extra day can increase the survival rate."

"Is this method harmful to the mother?" Alfred immediately asked.

"Of course there is a certain risk." The chief surgeon said, "In the special situation of Her Royal Highness, if you forcefully conceive one more day, there is a one-day risk."

"That……"

Xiu Xiu wanted to ask in detail, but was interrupted by Alfred just as he opened his mouth.

"Take it out now," he said, his voice steady and firm, almost grim. "Since ending the pregnancy is the best way to end the risk, then end it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Listen well, Her Royal Highness must leave the operating table safely." Alfred said incredulously, "As for the others...you do your best."

The meaning of this was already very clear, and the doctors and nurses present all bowed to their orders and were busy preparing for the operation.

Xiu held Alfred's hand tightly and didn't agree, but he didn't object either.

Alfred looked down at Xiu, who was also looking at him.

"Alfred..."

Xiu called him with difficulty, Alfred bent down to wipe his sweat, and responded in a low voice: "Brother, I'm here. Don't be afraid, this is not a major operation, just get some sleep, and you'll be fine in a while..."

It's hard to say who he was comforting, but it wasn't Xiu anyway, because Xiu wasn't afraid.

"Remember to release the news..." Xiu weakly urged, "This is, a good opportunity..."

Alfred paused for a moment before reacting, and said incredulously, "Are you thinking about this right now?"

But I have to say that he was not so tense after being interrupted like this.

"I will arrange it." Alfred said helplessly to Xiu, leaning over and kissing his sweaty forehead, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything."

Xiu said again: "Wait a while...you go out, don't look at it."

Alfred hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Probably no one wants to have their relatives stand aside and watch the whole process when they disembowel themselves.

The anesthesiologist came over, and Alfred squeezed Xiu's hand firmly, and said, "Brother, I'll wait for you outside the door."

"Okay." Xiu promised him, "I'll come out to find you right away."

Alfred kissed him, and hurriedly stroked his tall and soft belly: "Caroline, Alice, you have to work hard too."

Xiu thought that his next sentence was something like "try to come out healthy", but he didn't expect that Alfred would go on to say, "try to protect the father, and don't let him get hurt when he comes out."

The doctor was urging, Alfred did not dare to delay the operation, and immediately left the sterile room.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after he finished telling the child, he seemed to see Xiu showing a smile.

Xiu is almost happy when the anesthetic is propelled into the body.

He was naturally in pain, worried, and anxious, but at the same time, unavoidably, he was also feeling happy.

Alfred loved kids, he'd always known that.

The baby room in the Holy Golden Palace is decorated like a dream. The servants who take care of the baby have long been carefully selected over and over again, and the baby products have also been purchased and perfected early. Not to mention, Alfred often meets with The kids talk, even though he knows it's just an embryo.

Xiu hardly talked to the child in his belly, nor did he caress his belly.

There were times when he had a subtle displeasure, especially when the two of them were alone and Alfred chose to spend his time talking to the children.But just now, the subtle emotions he had accumulated were well appeased.

Yes, that's the way it should be.

Alfred, he should only be fascinated by him...

Xiu's consciousness is far away.

He fell into a deep sleep, not knowing how long he slept.

It seemed that after an extremely long time, Xiu vaguely felt the pain, which was different from the previous pain.He struggled to wake up, vague words crept into his ears, but he had trouble understanding them.

"...bleeding..."

"Now...out of danger, but..."

"...The incubator. Your Majesty, would you like to go and see the two young Highnesses?"

"What are you looking at?!" The familiar voice said angrily, "Can't you see that the queen is still awake? Just go and see and report to me. Will you do anything?!"

Don't be angry... don't be angry, brother will help you solve everything...

Xiu thought in a daze, trying to make a sound: "Al...Fred..."

"elder brother!"

The voice called to him.

Xiu didn't think of anything, he couldn't open his eyes and murmured to the voice: "I'm so sleepy. I'm very tired..."

"It's okay, brother, go to sleep, I'll watch over you... Rest, it's okay. The children are fine..."

Under the gentle coaxing of the deep male voice, Xiu fell asleep again with peace of mind.

Before he fell asleep again, he thought vaguely: child, what child?

When Xiu finally regained his thinking ability and remembered about the child, it was already the second time he woke up.

He opened his eyes, thinking it would be twilight, but he didn't expect that the sky was bright outside the window, and the rising sun indicated that he had already slept the whole day, and now it was the morning of the second day.

Someone was lying on the side of the bed, a mess of fluffy blond hair rubbed against his arm, and as soon as he moved slightly, the person suddenly raised his head.

"Brother!" Alfred exclaimed happily.

Xiu noticed that he was still wearing the civilian clothes from yesterday, and the white shirt, which was of average quality, had many wrinkles because of lying on the bed overnight.

"What happened?" Xiu asked weakly, "Did you...haven't slept all night?"

His lips were dry and the incision on his stomach was hurting, and Alfred carefully avoided his stomach and leaned in to kiss his cheek.

"You're going to scare me to death, there's a lot of bleeding during the operation, it's okay, it's okay..."

"I told you, I will come out to look for you." Xiu showed a slight smile, "Where are the children? What kind of genes are they?"

Alfred was questioned.

"I haven't asked yet." He said, and immediately called the doctor on duty.

"Hurry up, go and bring Caroline and Alice over to show Her Majesty the Queen." Alfred ordered.

The doctor froze, and repeated: "Caroline and Alice?"

Alfred was very dissatisfied with the doctor's incompetence, and said, "This is the name of your two little highnesses."

The doctor hesitated to speak. He knew that the little emperor had always been deviant, so he hesitated and confirmed, "Your Highness... what is your name?"
