GBP Chapter 410: Birth
Chapter 410: Birth
Li Jingyang is truly a man of deep affection and loyalty.
Perhaps in the imperial family of the future, it will truly be possible to achieve one love for life.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, finding Li Jingyang increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Soon, Lin Rusi's wails gradually subsided.
This made Li Jingyang, who had been waiting outside, extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to Lin Rusi.
"What happened? Has Asi fainted?"
When Li Jingyang saw a palace maid coming out of the bedroom, he immediately stopped her and asked her questions.
The palace maid looked at Li Jingyang with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! The Crown Princess has successfully given birth to a boy!"
Upon hearing the palace maid's words, Li Jingyang immediately waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.
"How about Asi?"
Li Jingyang was so anxious that he almost rushed into the palace.
Seeing this, the palace maid truthfully told Li Jingyang about Lin Rusi's current situation.
"The Crown Princess has just given birth and is still extremely weak. She is currently unconscious."
Upon hearing these words, Li Jingyang frowned deeply.
However, due to other reasons, Li Jingyang could not freely enter the palace.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! It's a boy! A little prince!"
Just then, a midwife came out carrying a newborn baby.
He reached out and placed the baby into Li Jingyang's hands.
He kept offering congratulatory words, which quickly attracted the attention of the emperor, who was still sitting in a side hall.
The emperor was overjoyed when he saw the infant in swaddling clothes.
He reached out and stroked the baby's wrinkled skin, smiling like a flower.
However, Li Jingyang's reaction was completely different from the emperor's.
Li Jingyang didn't seem overjoyed; he just seemed relieved.
Then he gave the baby a perfunctory glance.
"Why is your face all wrinkled? What an ugly child."
Li Jingyang's indifferent words made the palace maids and midwives beside him burst into laughter.
The emperor laughed even more unrestrainedly: "How dare you laugh at a little child! I even visited you when you were a child!"
As the emperor spoke, he didn't forget to tease the baby in Li Jingyang's arms.
“You were even uglier when you were little! You had such small eyes that you didn’t even want to open them.”
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Li Jingyang promptly handed the child over to him.
He then headed straight for the palace, rushing towards Lin Rusi.
The emperor looked up at the hurried Li Jingyang and shook his head helplessly.
"My child! Look at your father! He'll tell you about your mother."
The emperor, however, did not care at all about taking care of the child for Li Jingyang.
However, the surrounding palace maids, guards, and eunuchs...
Everyone was extremely anxious, fearing that the emperor was unwell.
"Your Majesty! Please give the prince to this servant!"
However, no matter who spoke, the emperor pretended not to hear and insisted on holding the baby in his arms.
"Sigh! My son was born and his father didn't love him. How can I, as his grandfather, not love my grandson?"
"Oh... my poor grandson..."
The emperor outside the door was still pitying his newborn grandson.
Inside the palace, Li Jingyang saw Lin Rusi, still exhausted, on the bed, and felt so distressed he could hardly breathe.
Lin Rusi was soaked in sweat and was lying on the bed resting with her eyes closed.
Upon hearing footsteps, Lin Rusi turned her head and met Li Jingyang's eyes.
Lin Rusi took in the heartache and distress in Li Jingyang's eyes.
She closed her eyes again.
However, Li Jingyang did not see Lin Rusi open her eyes.
Moreover, Lin Rusi was lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper and her breathing was unusually labored.
This led Li Jingyang to mistakenly believe that something had happened to Lin Rusi.
Terrified, Li Jingyang immediately threw himself down beside Lin Rusi's bed, trembling as he spoke to her.
"Asi... how did you become like this... childbirth is so tiring... please don't scare me..."
After Li Jingyang finished speaking, he saw that Lin Rusi still showed no signs of waking up.
He then reached out and hugged Lin Rusi.
She kept talking and talking.
"We will never have any more children, we will only have this one!"
"Please, please don't let anything happen to you..."
"Can you hear me, Asi... I'm so scared..."
……
In this way, Li Jingyang completely exposed his vulnerability to Lin Rusi.
However, while pretending to be unconscious, Lin Rusi overheard all of Li Jingyang's innermost thoughts.
Even though Lin Ru wanted to say something sarcastic to Li Jingyang, she didn't have the strength right now.
If Li Jingyang sees that Lin Rusi is still not awake, he should stop holding her and muttering other things.
They even talked about their future.
"We still have so much to do... We haven't even been to the Western Regions yet."
"Besides, you just gave birth. What will we do if it's just the two of us left in the future..."
"You absolutely mustn't get into any trouble, Asi..."
……
Li Jingyang said many things like that.
Lin Rusi only opened her eyes with difficulty when she realized that Li Jingyang had no intention of stopping.
"You're so noisy and so long-winded..."
Lin Rusi's voice was exceptionally weak when she spoke, causing Li Jingyang to immediately shut his mouth and not dare to say anything more.
Lin Rusi was about to say something more when she coughed.
This immediately panicked Li Jingyang, who ordered a palace maid to bring him water and food.
"Our Asi is really exhausted, get up and have some water."
Li Jingyang took the water glass from the side, held it to Lin Rusi's lips, and fed her the water.
As for the food, Lin Rusi had no interest in it.
When Li Jingyang handed over the pastries, Lin Rusi waved her hand.
"I don't want to eat right now, I have no appetite... What about the child? How is the child?"
After all, she had risked her life to give birth to that child, but now he was nowhere to be found.
So Lin Rusi was a little anxious and kept looking around.
However, Li Jingyang held Lin Rusi in his arms and comforted her in a particularly gentle voice.
Lin Rusi was also captivated by it.
"Don't worry, His Majesty is holding him right now and he loves him very much."
Lin Rusi was relieved when she heard that her child was alright.
She nestled peacefully in Li Jingyang's arms.
It was already late at night, and Lin Rusi was too exhausted to speak.
However, Li Jingyang continued to stay by Lin Rusi's side.
"Go to sleep, Asi. It's getting late, and you're already tired."
As Li Jingyang spoke, he gently patted Lin Rusi's back with very light and gentle movements.
Not long after, Lin Rusi's even breathing could be heard.
However, Li Jingyang left only after seeing that Lin Rusi was asleep.
