"Your Majesty, Concubine Su is pregnant and has been pregnant for nearly two months."

The senior palace maid had never seen the emperor like this. She thought the emperor was too happy, so she smiled and said it again.

This time, Rong Zhou was certain that the palace maid said Wan'er was pregnant!

Wan'er is pregnant with his child, and the child is already two months old!

In an instant, surprise filled Rong Zhou's whole body, and the heat wave of joy broke through layers of barriers and flowed to his limbs and bones. He felt as hot as if he was being roasted by fire, and his whole body was full of strength.

Sixteen years later, he has another child!

Rong Zhou was overjoyed and laughed out loud with his head thrown back.

"By the way, where is Concubine Su now? I'm going to see her right now!"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Su has returned to Yufu Palace to rest."

"Okay, okay, I'll go there right away!" Rong Zhou was so happy that he wanted to fly to Su Wanti immediately.

Yuxiu Palace, Yufu Hall.

Su Wanti's bedroom was very lively.

The Queen, the Imperial Concubine, the Concubine Chun and others were all there, as were several newcomers who had entered the palace with Su Wanti, including Chi Liangdi, Sui Guiren and others.

Su Wanti was half lying on the bed. The queen was sitting beside the bed, constantly reminding her to take care of herself and to be extremely careful and attentive in her diet and travel.

Su Wanti's face flushed as she agreed to everything.

The imperial concubine sat aside without saying a word, but she looked at Su Wanti with unfriendly eyes and jealousy.

Moreover, she did not believe that Su Wanti was pregnant. Even though this was the result of several examinations by two experienced and skilled imperial physicians, she still did not believe it.

She felt that this was a conspiracy between the Queen and Su Wanti.

The imperial concubine's suspicious gaze wandered between the queen and Su Wanti. She frowned slightly, her eyes sharp, trying to find the flaws of the two.

Chi Liangdi and the others all had gentle smiles on their faces, but their hearts were already sour, as if they had been soaked in old vinegar, so sour that they were bubbling and even their saliva was sour.

Only Concubine Wen was different. She was truly happy for Su Wanti and for herself.

Concubine Wen had served the emperor in the imperial bed a month ago, and after that she was given the title of Concubine Wen.

She has lived with Su Wanti since she entered the palace, and her relationship with Su Wanti is the closest.

During the Imperial Concubine's banquet at the Royal Lake, she spoke for Su Wanti and offended the Imperial Concubine.

However, after that incident, her relationship with Su Wanti took a step further and the two became like allies.

At this moment, she stood aside calmly, and could clearly see the expressions of all the concubines in the hall.

Finally, her eyes fell on the imperial concubine, and she felt that the imperial concubine's expression was different from that of others.

Although the other concubines were smiling, there was unconcealable jealousy in their eyes.

There was more suspicion and jealousy in the eyes of the imperial concubine.

Thinking of the imperial concubine's previous hostility towards the two of them, Concubine Wen couldn't help but shudder.

She did not dare to be careless. She planned to tell Su Wanti about the imperial concubine when everyone left, asking Su Wanti to be careful of the imperial concubine and not to be careless.

"Wan'er! Wan'er!" Before the people from Rongzhou arrived, the loud and deep voice had already reached Yufu Palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

The concubines were delighted, and some of them secretly rubbed their cheeks to make them blush and look more charming.

Someone adjusted her jewelry and clothes to make herself look dignified and face the emperor with the most beautiful attitude.

Su Wanti's face suddenly turned red. She felt that Rong Zhou's behavior was too reckless. He actually called her so intimately in front of all the concubines.

As Rong Zhou stepped in, the concubines' eyes lit up. They were about to pay their respects when they saw him rushing like a gust of wind and heading straight to Su Wanti's bedside.

Rong Zhou was tall and took big steps. He was anxious, so he took two steps at a time and came to Su Wanti's bed.

He sat by the bed, looking at Su Wanti, his eyes full of tenderness, his voice so gentle that it could drip water.

"Wan'er, my good Wan'er."

He expressed his love without paying attention to others, which made the concubines present twitch their lips with jealousy.

Su Wanti blushed with embarrassment. She raised her eyes and glanced around the hall shyly, whispering:

"Your Majesty, all the sisters are here..."

Rong Zhou still looked at her, his voice softer, "Isn't this too happy?"

The Queen smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su has been pregnant for nearly two months. I have read the history of Tong, and it should be the day when she went to the royal temple to pray for blessings."

Hearing this, Rong Zhou nodded. He thought about what happened that day, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:

"I didn't believe it that day, but now it seems that it is really as the abbot said."

"Queen, please send some more gifts to the temple. Send more this time and tell them that I am grateful for the abbot's kind words."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have arranged someone to do it." The Queen said with a smile.

She saw Rong Zhou staring at Su Wanti without blinking, and all the concubines in the hall were staring at him without blinking.

Then he said, "Noble Concubine Su is pregnant and cannot be tired. Since the emperor is here, you sisters should go back first."

Since the queen had spoken, the concubines had no choice but to obey. They all saluted the emperor and then withdrew together.

Now the Yufu Palace is quiet. Only Su Wanti and Rong Zhou are inside the palace. The personal palace maids and eunuchs are guarding the door of the bedroom, ready to listen to the master's orders at any time.

Rong Zhou held Su Wanti's hand and spoke in a gentle voice, which was very inconsistent with his tall and majestic image.

"Wan'er, you are truly my lucky star, the one destined for me. Meeting you is a blessing from heaven."

"Wan'er, do you know? Over the years, I have been completely disappointed and have completely given up hope of having an heir."

"I have doubted myself many times, thinking that it was because of my years of war and excessive slaughter that I had incurred the wrath of Heaven, and that this was punishment from Heaven, leaving me childless after ascending the throne."

"When I was most sad, I even doubted my own body..."

"That day, the Queen returned and said that the abbot said you were someone who could give birth to an heir for the royal family. The abbot also said so in his letter, but at that time, I didn't believe it."

"I have been disappointed too many times and cannot stand being disappointed again."

"Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately you are pregnant, which brightens my world."

"It turns out that there is nothing wrong with me. It turns out that God has not punished me. It turns out that the gods have blessed me."

Rong Zhou revealed his true feelings to Su Wanti, and his eyes became red when he spoke about the emotional part.

But he is a man as hard as rock and as strong as black iron, and he cannot let anyone see his tears.

He felt his eyes moisten, and he forced himself to hold back the tears that were about to flow.

"Wan'er" Rong Zhou called softly with a tender look on his face. He stretched out his arms and hugged the person in front of him.

His big hand gently stroked Su Wanti's cheek, carefully, as if he was touching a fragile treasure.

"Wan'er, my precious baby, you must give birth to a prince for me safely."
