Warm medicine emits fragrance

The doctor stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Highness, don't worry. Although the princess's health isn't exactly the same as an ordinary person's, as long as she's careful, a smooth delivery shouldn't be a problem."

"However, don't overdo it with supplements during pregnancy. The princess is carrying twins, and if the fetuses grow too big, she will suffer during childbirth."

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer was even more bewildered. She didn't even know when the doctor had left, and she sat in the chair, completely dazed.

Li Chenbi personally saw the doctor out. After coming out of the house, his expression immediately turned serious. He asked the doctor, "Doctor, tell me the truth, can her body withstand childbirth? We don't necessarily need the child."

He was worried that the doctor wouldn't tell the truth in front of Fan Liuer, so he deliberately asked again, avoiding Fan Liuer.

Upon hearing this, the doctor smiled again: "Your Highness, you are overthinking it. Everything I just said is true."

Li Chenbi still found it hard to believe. "But she suffers from a cold-related illness, and all the doctors before said she would never be able to conceive. How could she get pregnant like this?"

"How long ago was it?" the doctor asked him.

Li Chenbi thought for a moment, it was the year he first met Fan Liuer, "ten years ago."

The doctor smiled again, "A lot can happen in ten years. Thanks to your care over the past ten years, Your Highness, the princess's cold condition has improved a lot. Although it cannot be completely cured, as long as she takes good care of herself on a daily basis, there will be no problem."

When Li Chenbi returned to his room after seeing the doctor off, he saw Fan Liuer with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

After talking with the doctor, Li Chenbi felt much more at ease and less nervous. He sat down next to her, took her hand, and teased her, "What's wrong? Are you so happy you've gone silly?"

Fan Liuer looked up at Li Chenbi, her eyes still filled with deep doubt and a hint of worry.

"Li Chenbi, tell me honestly, am I going to die?"

Li Chenbi's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're perfectly fine, how could you possibly be dead?"

Fan Liuer frowned. "Then how come you suddenly got pregnant out of nowhere? Isn't this a lie you conspired with the doctor to deceive me because I'm going to die?"

"Let me tell you, my own life is more important than giving birth, so please don't lie to me."

Li Chenbi was amused by Fan Liuer. "You really are..." He shook his head and pulled Fan Liuer into his arms. "Alright, then we don't need this child. Let's save your life."

Fan Liuer looked up from his embrace, "Are you really pregnant?"

Li Chenbi looked down at her and said, "Hmm, this is really bad. You have two little puppies in your belly now."

Fan Liuer frowned again. "Why is it always a puppy? Are you picky about dogs?"

Li Chenbi sighed and hugged Fan Liuer tightly. "A humble name is easier to raise. How about we change your name too? Let's call you Fan Xiaogou (Little Dog Fan). We'll change it back after the baby is born."

"Then you should change your name too, it will be Li Gou (Li Dog)."

"Fan Gou" (a derogatory term for a dog).

"Li Gou" (a derogatory term for a man who cheats).

"Little Dog Fan".

"Old dog Li!"

The word "old" really bothered Li Chenbi. He was already a bit older than Fan Liuer, and after ten years, his face had gained a few more wrinkles.

Since then, he has looked in the mirror much more often each day, and every time he does, he asks Fan Liuer, "Am I really getting old?"

Fan Liuer initially felt a little guilty, thinking that she had gone too far and shouldn't have attacked a middle-aged man's age, and even tried to coax him.

"You haven't aged a day, you're still in your prime, and you're even more charming than you were ten years ago."

"Still beautiful, you're the most radiant flower at your age!"

Later, when she got annoyed by the questions, she started to get impatient, saying, "You're almost forty, can't you just shut up? Everyone gets old, otherwise you'd be a monster."

Li Chenbi was so angry that he didn't eat dinner that night, and called Fan Xiaogou for most of the night before going to sleep.

Fan Liuer went with him. As Li Chenbi got older, his temper became more and more erratic, and he would get angry at the drop of a hat.

She now has very mature coping methods.

If he's in a good mood, I'll coax him; if he's in a bad mood, I'll have a fight. Whether I coax him or we fight, he'll be fine afterward.

But you can't ignore him, or this whole thing will never end.

Now, Fan Liuer was too lazy to pay attention to Li Chenbi, but she couldn't ignore him either. She lay on the bed, hugged Li Chenbi in her arms, patted his back, and responded when he called out "Fan Xiaogou".

She couldn't be bothered to refute the nickname "Little Dog Fan".

She knew that Li Chenbi didn't call her that on purpose to tease or humiliate her; he was just too scared, so scared that someone who never cared about these customs and rumors had started to believe in them.

He was afraid something would happen to Fan Liuer.

Ten years have passed. Except for the six months she ran away, the two have never been apart. Since their marriage, they have been inseparable every day. They have long since become an integral part of each other's lives.

She even felt that if she left first, Li Chenbi would definitely follow her.

Fan Liuer's pregnancy was relatively uneventful. She had no discomfort in the early stages, could eat and sleep well, and gained weight in just five months.

Li Chenbi was worried that the fetus was growing too big, so he began to strictly control Fan Liuer's diet, being stricter than ever before, not allowing her to have any water at all.

This was the greatest suffering Fan Liuer endured in the early stages of her pregnancy; she had to abstain from certain foods.

Li Chenshu, who was pregnant at the same time, had a much worse experience than her. She had severe morning sickness from the beginning of her pregnancy, couldn't eat or sleep well, and not only did she not gain any weight in five months, she actually lost a lot of weight.

Yanqiu was so worried that his hair turned quite white.

Fan Liuer would occasionally go to the palace to see Li Chenshu and the Empress Dowager. Seeing the state of Li Chenshu and Yan Qiu, she felt sorry for them.

But even the imperial physicians couldn't alleviate the pregnancy symptoms, and Fan Liuer had no other choice but to feel sorry for her.

As time went by, Fan Liuer was eight months pregnant. Under Li Chenbi's strict control, her weight gain stabilized in the later stages and remained within the normal range.

During the later stages of her pregnancy, Fan Liuer stopped going to the palace. Firstly, Li Chenbi forbade her to go; he even forbade her to leave the house.

He has offended too many people in his life and is afraid that someone will retaliate against Fan Liuer. Fan Liuer is very fragile now, and the slightest mistake could cost her her life.

Secondly, Fan Liuer didn't want to go out anymore. Later, as her belly grew bigger, her back would hurt after walking around for a long time.

She then stayed at home to prepare for childbirth.

When she was almost full term, one night, there was a knock on the gate of the mansion.

Fan Liuer and Li Chenbi were awakened from their sleep. She opened her eyes groggily, and Li Chenbi had already sat up and was yelling at the door.

"What's all the noise about in the middle of the night!"

A voice immediately came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Imperial Guard Li requests an audience."

The couple exchanged a glance.

Li Qiuping.

"It's so late, he must have something urgent to do," Fan Liuer said.

Li Chenbi nodded, got up and dressed, and said to the outsiders, "Tell him to wait for me in the main hall."

Fan Liuer couldn't sleep anymore either, so she got up as well.

"Don't go, just go back to sleep," Li Chenbi said, pressing her down.

Fan Liuer felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, she got up and said, "I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."
