Thanks to Lan Shule's hard work, Gu Ruojiao became pregnant less than a year after her marriage.
During that time, her appetite suddenly became bad, so Lan Shule sent a palace doctor to check her pulse.
The palace doctor was of the same lineage, and his face was filled with joy.
As soon as he finished speaking his kind words of congratulations, Lan Shule's face turned black.
He stared at the palace doctor as if he wanted to chop off his head.
The palace doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground with his legs weak, not knowing what he had said wrong.
Gu Ruojiao was speechless, fearing that the palace doctor would shake the brittle bones apart, so she let him out first.
As soon as the palace doctor left, Gu Ruojiao began to pretend to be aggrieved.
"Do you dislike our children that much?"
"no."
He answered quickly, but he didn't explain why he had such an ugly expression after hearing that she was pregnant.
But Gu Ruojiao understood.
She even knew that in order to prevent her from getting pregnant, this man specifically asked the palace doctors to study a child-preventing soup that men could drink.
Every time before having sex, he would drink Bizi Decoction in advance.
However, this kind of thing is not 100% effective.
What's more, he is so pestering.
"Husband~" she said softly and coquettishly, "I want to hug you."
When Lan Shule heard this, he reached out and picked her up and put her on his lap.
Perhaps sensing her caution, he remained silent for a few seconds and then placed a comforting kiss on her forehead.
Gu Ruojiao's response was even more enthusiastic.
She raised her little head, hugged his neck and kissed his lips.
But Lan Shule didn't respond to her, he just watched silently as she caressed her lips.
It wasn't until she couldn't help but nuzzle him that he finally turned his back on her.
For a long time, the panting Gu Ruojiao held his waist, pressed her face against his chest, and listened to his heavy heartbeat.
He said softly: "Lanshule, our child will be very cute."
She knew what he was afraid of.
I was afraid that my child would inherit the old emperor’s madness.
They are also afraid that others will scold their children for having dirty blood in their bodies.
He was abused since he was a child and knows how it feels, so he doesn't want their children to be hurt in the same way.
Language can be very hurtful sometimes.
but--
"Husband, our child is bleeding from you and me, and is our blood."
She took his hand and placed it on her flat belly.
"His father is very good, and his mother is also very good, so he will be very good too."
"His father is not good." Lan Shule spoke after a while, his voice dry and hoarse, "His father's hands are covered with blood."
He was not a good person, and he never let her see the bad things.
It is impossible to sit on this throne without blood on your hands.
He also clearly knows that he is bloodthirsty and murderous.
It was only because of Gu Ruojiao that he suppressed these things.
But that doesn't mean he is a good person.
But his little princess didn't think so.
She held his hand tightly: "Lanshule, do you believe me?"
She looked at him: "If you believe me, can you let me use time to prove it to you?"
Lan Shule stared at her quietly.
For a long time, he hugged her gently and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"good."
Gu Ruojiao finally smiled.
In order not to let this topic continue, she changed the topic to a lighter one.
"Husband, do you prefer a girl or a boy?"
Lan Shule had never thought about this question before. After hearing her ask this question, he thought about it seriously.
"Baby girl." He wanted to see what she was like when she was a child.
"Okay, then let's have a daughter!"
She said it as if she could give birth to anything she wanted.
But Lan Shule didn't make fun of her, but inexplicably started to look forward to it.
