Night North Chen is now filled with an overwhelming joy of becoming a father.
Rushing to YueXian Palace with great haste, he saw the woman on tiptoes plucking the branches of peach blossoms.
A shout of "The Emperor is here!"
You Yu was so scared that he nearly fell.
Night Beichen's expression changed, and he flew over to catch her, his gaze sharp and filled with anger.
"You want the branches of peach blossoms for yourself, why do you want to do it yourself?"
The steam sprayed onto You Yu's cheeks, coloring her face slightly.
"Your Majesty!"
This voice carried a blend of grievance, stubbornness, and a touch of vulnerability.
It was clearly the announcement by those slaves that scared her.
She wouldn't really fall, she would be able to control her body.
Night Beichen felt a mix of anger, pain, fondness, pity, and resentment towards her.
The winding path of the nine curves, a endless sea of emotions.
I can't help but feel that my heart is about to be crushed.
He held her tightly, his voice deep with concern as he said, "Yao'er, you're not alone anymore. You have the Emperor's child now, do you understand?"
He knew that she was used to doing things casually and that she was good in martial arts, even if she was pregnant, it would be hard for her to act carefully.
You Yu knew that he cared a lot about the child, and she felt very happy. Smiling, she said, "The concubine knows that in the future, I will pay more attention to my own belly."
"You, ah..."
Seeing her obediently admit her mistake, Night Beichen's heart melted, and there was no room for any more anger.
"I will carry you."
"Your Majesty..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt herself lifted off the ground.
Night Beichen, regardless of the number of people behind him and You Yu's resistance, picked her up in a horizontal embrace.
"You're too thin, eat more and take good care of yourself!"
"The concubine is not thin, she is quite good!"
"Whether thin or not, you must eat more for the Emperor, so that the young prince can grow strong and healthy."
"What if I were to carry a princess instead?"
"Princess is also good, daughter is lovely and affectionate, I like them both!"
You Yu snuggled in Night Beichen's arms and smiled without saying anything.
Night Beichen undoubtedly wants a son, not for any other reason than to have an heir for the kingdom and empire, which would also make him more inclined to want a son.
At least he is willing to comfort herself, and this makes her feel better in her heart.
She carries a pair of twins, both a son and a daughter.
Perhaps because the time was too short, the court physician had not detected the twins.
You Yu didn't say anything, preparing to give him a surprise in the future.
The news that Concubine Yao is pregnant for two and a half months spread like wings through the palace.
Chen Ning Palace!
"Hahaha, I have been waiting for this day for over ten years. Now it has finally come!"
"Ha ha ha, that slut, Concubine Rou, cursed that I wouldn't have a grandson. Look, here's a grandson coming!"
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, laughing loudly and joyfully. If her legs were not still weak and unresponsive, she would probably run to YueXian Palace with excitement.
After the excitement subsided, she once again regretted the incident a month ago when Concubine Yao was made to kneel in the Buddhist hall, her heart heavy with sorrow and regret.
At that time, Concubine Yao should have already been pregnant, but the pregnancy was very early, and no one knew about it.
Every time she thought about Concubine Yao kneeling with a belly for so long, the Empress Dowager was very sorry and a bit worried, hoping that there would be no harm to her grandchild.
Had she known that, she wouldn't have been so rough with Concubine Yao. How could she have thought of her as a bad person at the beginning?
This is clearly a child with good fortune.
It can be said that among all the concubines in the palace, only she can get pregnant, which doesn't mean she has good fortune?
The Empress Dowager thought more and more that Concubine Yao was a good woman, just not living in Yanying Palace.
"Qiumei, go and check on Concubine Yao's pregnancy for the Empress Dowager. You must know every detail."
"Also, go and select some good things from the Empress Dowager's treasury and send them over."
"Yes, Empress Dowager!"
...
Inner room of YueXian Palace.
Night Beichen carefully placed her on the soft bed.
All the palace doctors from the Great Hospital of the Palace were summoned.
After taking turns checking her pulse.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Concubine Yao indeed has a pregnancy. According to the pulse, it has been two and a half months. Truly, heaven blesses the Great Dynasty of Tiandu!"
Night Beichen smiled even more happily.
However, upon thinking about the two of them having sex every night and how intense it was, she was scared to death.
Fearful that the baby would be lost.
"How is the fetus doing?"
He asked with a worried expression on his face.
The court physician also knew that Concubine Yao had been favored by the emperor for half a month in a row, and also understood what the emperor was worried about.
"From the pulse of Concubine Yao, the fetus's vitality is stable, indicating that the prince is robust. Your Majesty need not worry!"
Night Beichen listened and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was also placed back in his stomach.
"Proclaim the Emperor's decree: Concubine Yao, who is pregnant with a dragon descendant, has been promoted to Guifei and her title remains unchanged!"
"Additionally, the entire Great Hospital of the Palace is to be rewarded, and so are the slaves in YueXian Palace for serving their master well!"
You Yu curved her lips slightly. Guifei? It's a good title.
From now on, there is no need to bow to Concubine Rou.
Qiumei came quickly, still bringing the Empress Dowager's rewards.
You Yu wanted to descend from the bed to accept the rewards, but was stopped by Night Beichen.
"Let the servants take care of it; the Queen Mother wouldn't care about these formalities."
Night Beichen held her back in the bed with great care, afraid that he might bump into her or touch her accidentally.
"Good!"
You Yu smiled even more happily, sitting still with a sense of security and entitlement.
If it weren't for her pregnancy, the Empress Dowager wouldn't be worried about rewarding herself or causing trouble for herself.
The Qiumei shi nai māo also inquired the court physicians about Concubine Yao's pregnancy, confirming that the dragon descendant was healthy and there were no problems, and then returned to Chenneng Palace to report back.
Fengyi Palace!
"Bang, bang..."
The floor was littered with fragments of porcelain, all of which were smashed by the Queen out of anger.
Two and a half months, that slut has hidden it well. No wonder the Queen's tea was untouched; she must have known about it long ago.
"Hahaha... the child hasn't been born yet, and the Emperor is already eager to promote that slut to a Guifei. If the child is born, will it not be that the Queen's position will also have to be given to that slut?"
When she got to this point, the Queen's face became increasingly dark.
"Slap!"
A pair of jade double-eared vases shattered into pieces and scattered at Ruonan's feet.
Ruonan kicked the shards around her feet, appropriately moving forward, "Madam, then what shall we do?"
The Queen looked at Ruonan with malevolent eyes, "What else can we do? Of course, we must find a way to abort that slut's pregnancy."
Ruonan had a different idea and said, "Madam, that is the only son of the Emperor, and both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will definitely protect him tightly. We may not be able to do anything."
The Queen frowned, "What's your good idea?"
"Kill the mother and save the child!" Ruonan said with a serious expression.
The Queen's eyes narrowed, "How can we kill the mother and save the child?"
Ruonan smiled slightly and moved closer to the Queen, whispering in her ear, "The slave knows a secret medicine that is specially designed for pregnant women. Once this medicine is taken, the fetus will absorb the mother's nutrients in a frenzied manner, becoming increasingly robust."
"And as the mother's body absorbs too many nutrients, she will become increasingly weak, until she has no strength left to give birth. Eventually, she will suffer a difficult labor and die."
Ruonan added, "After Concubine Yao's death, the child will belong to the Queen. With the Queen having a child, her position in the palace will naturally be more stable."
The Queen's face gradually brightened as she listened more and more. She no longer looked so dark and sullen.
This indeed is a good plan.
This can not only eliminate that slut, but also gain a child.
"The secret medicine, do you have?" The Queen asked Ruonan.
"Madam, the slave does not have it in hand, but Lady Duan does..."
The Queen furrowed her brow, "Duan Wangfei?"
"Hm, the slave also learned it by accident." Ruonan said.
She doesn't know; this was intentionally told to her by Duan Wang's spy.
The purpose is to use the Queen's hand to kill the child in Concubine Yao's belly.
Duan Wang is also not likely to give the Queen any secret medicine to kill the mother and save the child, but rather poison that will kill both the mother and child.
