Chapter 474: Sister Gu Gives Birth
"That's right...what you couldn't check before, you can check in the future. After you check, you will feel that the emperor has been protecting you, isn't it?" Qi Ning'an saw the list left by Master Luochuan a few months ago. While he was shocked, he couldn't help but worry about Gu Qingyun's future.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyun knew what was going on, and he brought the list in on the day the emperor summoned him.
He only wanted to handle new cases smoothly in the future. He really didn't want to bother with these old cases. Moreover, there were too many people involved, so many that even the names of royal relatives were on them. He didn't dare to investigate further.
Indeed, this is also a kind of protection from the emperor.
After the emperor looked at the list, he was not shocked or angry as Gu Qingyun had expected. He just put the list away silently.
He also said that he did a good job and that he didn't act impulsively this time.
Gu Qingyun suddenly realized that the national treasury was empty and many things seemed calm on the surface, but were actually rotten inside.
The emperor must have ways of making money that he doesn't know about. Zhongli has so many concubines, princesses and princes. If the emperor didn't have any private money and couldn't afford anything, he would lose face and dignity.
After all, the things that emperors of all dynasties gave to their wives, concubines, and children were almost all paid for from their own private treasuries. How could they possibly use money from the national treasury?
Unexpectedly, his momentary hesitation actually saved his life. Gu Qingyun could only say that these were things left by the deceased Young Master Luochuan. He didn't know how much of them were true and how much were false, so he didn't check.
The emperor naturally believed what Gu Qingyun said. Even if he didn't believe it, so what? After all... Gu Qingyun was willing to give him the list, which showed great trust in him.
You know, although there is a difference between the ruler and the ruled, subjects are like water. The endless flow of water may save the entire country, but it may also flood many cities.
Gu Qingyun dared to hand him this list, which even had the names of his uncle, younger brother and several cousins written on it.
……
Qi Ning'an looked at Gu Qingyun who was leaning on him and smiled, "You don't have to struggle like this. Just follow the steps and do what you want. I will always wait for you anyway."
Gu Qingyun almost burst into tears. His wife was so good, the best wife in the world. He would never meet anyone better than Qi Ningan.
However, before returning to the Dali Temple, Gu Qingyun stayed at home for another half a month on the pretext that his sister-in-law was about to give birth.
During this period, the palace had to repair the old historical materials, and Gu Qingpei was so busy that he almost couldn't go home. Gu Qingyun's reason was also well-founded.
After all, he was the only one in the family who could take on the responsibility, so naturally he had to stay at home and watch his sister-in-law give birth, so the emperor had no reason to refuse.
After all, if he wants to use Gu Qingpei, he cannot use Gu Qingyun. Besides, there haven't been any big cases in the Dali Temple during this period. If he wants to be free, he can do it in the next few days. After he has found this excuse, he can't delay it any longer.
……
In November, Gu's sister-in-law is about to give birth.
The whole family was busy preparing things for delivery and running around to find the midwife to take care of the delivery.
Although Gu Qingpei has already looked for many people, he is still a little hesitant and worried. Childbirth is a very difficult time for a woman, and if something unexpected happens, Gu Qingpei will never forgive himself.
Seeing how nervous Gu Qingpei was, everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous as well.
Qi Ning'an accompanies his sister-in-law Gu every day, takes walks in the garden, and cooks some light, delicious and nutritious meals.
Originally, Qi Ning'an didn't know how to cook food for pregnant women, but after this experience, he has gained experience and may be able to take on delivery meals and confinement meals in the future.
It was also during this month that the sisters-in-law gradually became familiar with each other. Qi Ningan originally thought that his sister-in-law was a gentle and lovely young lady who needed to be protected by Gu Qingpei.
But no one expected that my sister-in-law was so amazing. She had plans in her mind and was decisive in doing things. The most amazing thing was that she always seemed to be able to advance and retreat freely and bend and stretch.
No wonder Gu Qingpei was able to catch a black carp.
Finally, the day of delivery arrived.
From inside the room came the painful cries of his sister-in-law. Qi Ning'an stood at the door, extremely anxious. He couldn't even hear a word, let alone the birth.
The eldest princess quickly asked her to go back to the room to rest. She had never given birth before, and after seeing such a bloody scene, she was afraid that she would never dare to do it again.
What's more, she and Gu Qingyun have been married for more than half a year, and there is still no news of pregnancy, so it is better to see less of such scenes.
Gu Qingyun also looked at Qi Ning'an with a worried look on his face, "Go back and wait. I'll call you as soon as I have any news."
Qi Ning'an also knew their concerns, but still said, "I won't go in to see, I can't see, I'll be at the door, I'm worried about my sister-in-law."
Everyone had no choice but to obey her. It was better to stand at the door than to go in. Moreover, many young ladies had experienced such scenes at home, and they were not so frightening.
Gu Qing Pei paced anxiously outside, unable to hold back tears. He was still repairing the historical materials in the morning, and at noon he received a letter from the servant at home, and rushed back as fast as he could.
No one dared to persuade him to calm down, and as time passed, everyone became anxious.
After a long time, a baby's cry broke the tense atmosphere. It was a girl. The Gu family was jubilant, and Gu Qingpei was happy and relieved.
He went into the house to see his wife without even looking at the child.
"Hey, my Lord, don't go in."
Seeing this, everyone tried to stop him.
"No, my wife is still lying in there, and I'm just having fun outside. Is that reasonable?"
Having said that, he pushed everyone aside and walked inside without hesitation.
The room was filled with the smell of blood, but GuQingPei didn't feel sick. Instead, he felt distressed. He really suffered a great injustice.
As he said this, he came to his wife's bedside and held her hand tightly. Her hands and feet were cold and she seemed to have no strength at all.
Yan Yu still looked exhausted at this time, staring blankly at Gu Qing Pei holding her hand, "You're here... It's so dirty in there, get out quickly."
Gu Qing Pei shook his head fiercely, looking like he was about to cry, "My lady, please don't say such things. It hurts me to see you. Why don't you let me stay here?"
Qi Ning'an hurriedly cooked a bowl of brown sugar eggs and brought it in. His sister-in-law hadn't eaten anything all day and was exhausted now. She needed to replenish her energy quickly.
The old woman who came to deliver the baby was stunned when she saw the family coming in and out, seemingly not caring about the filth in the room. She thought there was a family like that, and the woman giving birth was really lucky.
