Making a Baby

After the Emperor's secret guard intercepted Qi Xiuyuan's messenger pigeon, the Emperor opened the letter and took a look. After a moment of silence, he handed it to the secret guard and asked him to place the letter back to where it properly belonged.

He was very satisfied with the contents of Qi Xiuyuan's letter.

Qi Xiuyuan scolded his brother for being so stupid. First, he told him that he shouldn't have asked the Zhang and Shu families for those things. Instead, he should have waited and see how Madam Li and the child were doing, before deciding.

If Madam Li and the child turned out fine, then the two families would owe them a favor. If anything happened, those things weren't sufficient to compensate Madam Li and the child. He could just talk to them in the future.
