Only Ji Heng and the emperor were left in the room, so Ji Heng patted the emperor's shoulder lightly. The emperor looked down at him and asked softly, "What's the matter, is it in severe pain?"

Ji Heng shook his head, his voice was very weak, "I'm fine, and the pain doesn't hurt too much now, you can go have a supper, I'll sleep for a while too."

When the emperor heard that he was going to sleep for a while, he put him down from his body and lay down, and then covered him with the quilt. He even bent down and touched his feet, and found that they were not very warm, so he said, "Zhen Let me bring you two hand warmers, your feet are too cold."

Ji Heng didn't feel cold, but he didn't have the strength to argue with him, so he saw the emperor calling someone to come in with a hand warmer at the door, and he turned back to Ji Heng, "Junqing, would you like to eat some more?"

Ji Heng shook his head lightly, and the emperor frowned and said, "You didn't eat much before, aren't you hungry?"

Ji Heng still shook his head.

The emperor had no choice but to say nothing.

He was probably hungry, so he let Du Ruo and another maid come in to take care of him, and he ate some supper in the second room outside.

Ji Heng slept for a while, but he was only half asleep and half awake, and soon fully woke up again. When he woke up, he found that the emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at him.

No matter how hard-hearted Ji Heng is, in the emperor's worried and nervous eyes, coupled with the affectionate eyes, his hard-hearted heart should soften a little.

Imperial Physician Weng came again to take Ji Heng's pulse after a while, and then asked for the first time, "Master Ji, I want to see if your lower body birth canal has been opened enough."

As soon as the emperor heard it, his face sank, and he went to look at Ji Heng again, but Ji Heng frowned and said nothing, so the imperial doctor Weng was in a dilemma, and looked at the emperor again, the emperor was quite rational, although he didn't want people to see Ji Heng's body , but in this case, it is not the time to be willful.

He asked all the maids in the room to go out, and then he bent down and said to Ji Heng, "Junqing, let Weng Aiqing take a look."

In fact, Ji Heng would still feel embarrassed, but thinking that this time is not the time to think wildly, he said, "Everything is up to Mr. Weng."

Feeling the emperor's low pressure, Imperial Physician Weng was actually trembling in his heart. The emperor didn't want Imperial Physician Weng to do anything, so he tidied up the quilt on Ji Heng's body, and even got into the quilt, and took off Ji Heng's pants .

Ji Heng frowned, without any other expression on his face, closed his eyes and did not speak.

Imperial Physician Weng then kowtowed to the emperor again and offended Ji Heng, and then went to look at Ji Heng's lower body. The emperor held Ji Heng's hand, and at that moment he felt Ji Heng's force, It hurt his hand.

Because of Ji Heng's physical condition, Imperial Physician Weng has learned about several such cases around Gyeonggi. Naturally, most people hide this kind of child, and most of them are even executed as an unknown thing at birth. Soft-hearted People were still suffocated to death with cloth and water, and some even burned to death directly.

Imperial Physician Weng practiced medicine among the people when he was young, so he was no stranger to these things, so when he thought of Ji Heng being so big and so stunningly beautiful, he knew how difficult it was for him and admired him.

Because Ji Heng's physical condition is like this, in fact, two years ago, the emperor issued a document saying that this kind of person is not considered to be a yin and yang disorder. If there are such people in various places, officials should not treat them as monsters. For those who want to change their household registration gender after adulthood, local officials should also take care of changing their household registration. Even because such people have difficulty in surviving, they should be treated as congenital disabilities, and taxes and corvees should be reduced or exempted.

When this document was issued, officials from all over the country looked a little puzzled, but since the imperial court issued the document in a big way, it added this to the people who were exempted from taxes and corvees.

Although this document is issued, basically no one will report their physical condition in order to reduce taxes and corvees. After all, no one wants to be treated as a special research observation.

However, because of this, Imperial Physician Weng made an open and unannounced visit and found a few cases similar to Ji Heng's.

However, most of them are children, all under ten years old, and most of them who are over ten years old will die young. It is really unique that Ji Heng grows up to such a big age.

Imperial Physician Weng looked at it carefully, and had to sigh in his heart that Ji Heng's lower body was very well developed. After some inspection, he covered Ji Heng's body with the quilt again, and then said to the emperor and Ji Heng, "Looking at this situation, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow. will be born."

The emperor is already a little anxious now, seeing that Ji Heng is going to be in pain from time to time, he wants to have an early birth, at least Ji Heng will suffer less, but he is afraid that Ji Heng will have more pain when giving birth, or something will happen, so he I don't want him to give birth so soon.

The emperor had actually seen Ji Heng's lower body, but he deeply doubted whether such a big fetus could really be born from that place. The more doubts he had, the more nervous and worried he became, so he asked Imperial Physician Weng said, "Look, Aiqing, whether Junqing is like this is good or bad."

He asked in front of Ji Heng, and Ji Heng also looked at Imperial Physician Weng. No matter whether the situation was good or bad, Imperial Physician Weng gave good answers, and he also said a lot of things to make them not worry.

Because doctor Weng asserted that Ji Heng would not give birth until the next day, the emperor asked someone to bring some meat soup. The emperor supported him, and he barely ate some, and then he was ready to go to bed.

Ji Heng's bed was already a special delivery bed, larger than the usual bed, and it was a simple canopy bed, the bed curtains on three sides could be rolled up. The emperor thought about it, and slept with Ji Heng.

Ji Heng only slept for a while and woke up for a while. The emperor basically didn't sleep. He warmed Ji Heng's feet with his feet. Seeing his discomfort, he gently stroked his stomach to comfort the fetus inside.

There were two maids guarding in the room outside, one of them got up to do something, and made a small sound in this silent night.

Ji Heng found that the emperor was not asleep, so he turned his head to look at him. The emperor noticed his movement, leaned over and adjusted the quilt on him, and asked softly, "What's the matter, does it hurt again, or is it cold?"

Ji Heng said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I wrote a few letters and they are in the carved lacquer box on the Duobao Pavilion in the study. If anything happens to me, you can go and get it and give it to the person I want to give it to."

The emperor froze for a moment, looked at Ji Heng under the dim light in the room, and said, "What will happen, don't think about it."

Ji Heng's voice was very calm, "I'm just in case. In life, it seems to come suddenly and leave suddenly. You don't know when you will come and when you will leave. But when you come, you are alone. , there are always too many worries when leaving, so there is nothing wrong with writing a few letters. I know that childbirth is a woman's battlefield. I have never been on a battlefield, so I will suffer like this first. I am the general of the defeated army. The emperor knows that the defeated generals dare not speak bravely. I have nothing to say. The emperor should not think too much. It will be good to persuade my mother when the time comes. If I am fine, please remember the time Make a deal with me."

The emperor was so distressed that he didn't want to think about the logic of Ji Heng's words at all. He just said, "Let's not talk about it now, we will talk about it after the baby is born, okay?"

But Ji Heng said, "I am afraid that when the child is born, the emperor will break his promise, and I may also lose my determination."

The emperor stood up to look at Ji Heng, and saw that Ji Heng was frowning tightly, and cold sweat seemed to be breaking out on his forehead, so he knew that he was enduring the pain again, and while wiping his cold sweat with a towel, he said, "Since you know you will Without determination, why are you talking to me like this again at this time. Junqing, I beg you, let's not talk about this now."

Ji Heng's eyes were stubborn, and he said, "I'm going to go to the gate of hell, so the emperor doesn't understand me."

The emperor was about to cry, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before saying, "We want this one child, and I won't let you suffer like this in the future, and we don't want to talk about those things, okay?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "Don't say no, otherwise I don't have the determination to go all out."

The emperor bowed his head and kissed Ji Heng's forehead, looking into his eyes and said, "Why do you want to force me at this time."

Ji Heng smiled weakly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's the humble minister who is afraid."

The emperor stroked his cheek lightly with his fingers, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Ji Heng said, "No, I am afraid that I will become weak."

The emperor froze for a moment, "You have never been weak."

Ji Heng said, "That's why I am afraid. I am afraid that I will become weak, and I often don't know the joy and meaning of my life. I firmly believe that there is a place in life. I have been looking for it and want to do better. When I wear silk and satin , eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but I feel uneasy when I think that the poor may have no clothes and no food to eat, so I want to do something for them, and I happen to be able to do it, so naturally I have to do it well. When I was in Jiangnan, deep winter In seasons, I wear a cloak wrapped in light fur and mink fur, but when I see a woman digging wild lotus roots in the piercing water with her trouser legs rolled up, I ask someone to send her some silver. She feels that I have insulted her, Not only did she not accept the charity, but she also scolded me for using charity to make others feel my kindness. What should I do? I'm not helping her, I'm just hurting her. She's just an ordinary woman, but she has such a backbone. After doing a career, how can you make yourself weak. So, your majesty, you have to promise me that if I can give birth to a child safely, you will let me go out to be an official. I want to do what I should do. "

The emperor felt very sad and wanted to shake his head. After a long time, he tried to calm his voice and said, "What should I do with that child? Are you going to leave him alone in the future? He is also your responsibility."

Ji Heng looked at the emperor and said, "I believe you will take good care of him, besides, he came out of my stomach, he is him, he is my continuation, but he is actually him."

The emperor was unwilling to accept this fact, but Ji Heng's dark eyes were fixed on him. The emperor wanted to shake his head, but Ji Heng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am in severe pain, you should respond quickly."

The emperor found that Ji Heng's expression was really not quite right, he became anxious all of a sudden, and shouted, "Come here, come here."

The maid outside the door quickly came in, holding a candlestick to light the candles in the room, the emperor said, "Weng Zisu."

One of the maids said, "The servant will call immediately."

Ji Heng firmly grasped the emperor's hand, "Don't you promise me?"

The emperor saw Ji Heng's pale face in the brightly lit light, but his eyes were as black as the deep night sky. His heart ached unbearably. Tears flashed in his eyes, "As long as you are well, I promise."

Only then did Ji Heng say, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the amniotic fluid has broken. Something is flowing down there."

The emperor turned pale with fright, and said angrily, "How can you be so cruel."

He quickly got up and lifted the quilt under Ji Heng, and found that something was really leaking out, and there was a lot of it. It must be that Ji Heng suddenly talked to him because he knew that he was going to give birth soon.

Doctor Weng rushed over quickly, so did Mrs. Xu, and the midwife was brought in.
