Lin Dong, who was standing beside her, quickly helped Concubine Zhao sit down and said, "Your Majesty, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Okay, okay, everyone will get a reward. Everyone will get a reward."

She was really happy. He had almost lost hope during this period.

Every time the imperial physician came to take her pulse, there was no movement in her stomach. She was even thinking about how to get His Majesty to come to her palace again. She was determined to get pregnant with His Majesty's child.

I didn't expect this surprise to come so suddenly. I couldn't find anything yesterday.

"Your Majesty, we must tell His Majesty and the Queen Mother this news."

"Yes, tell His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be happy."

In the last incident, she vaguely felt that His Majesty had noticed something, but he didn't say it openly.

Now she no longer feels guilty towards His Majesty. She now has His Majesty's child, and His Majesty will definitely be happy.

The news soon reached the emperor's ears, but he did not feel surprised. Instead, he felt a little disgusted with the child in her belly.

This child was the result of her scheme, and his existence seemed to remind him how stupid he was.

But now he is more concerned about what Rong Xi's state will be when he hears the news. Will he be jealous, sad, or completely indifferent?

But after all, Concubine Zhao was pregnant with his own child, and he would feel guilty if he didn't go over to see her now.

When we arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, it was already full of people.

First came the palace maids and eunuchs from the Empress Dowager's palace, and then Concubine Li and Concubine Ning also came here.

Seeing him coming, everyone vacated the middle seat. He walked over reluctantly and looked at Concubine Zhao who was lying on the couch.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

"Well, how are you?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the baby in my womb is still young, so I need to take good care of it now."

"Um."

The emperor finally ordered a group of people to guard here. Now there are only these two unborn children in the palace.

Even though he felt a little disgusted with Concubine Zhao, he still did not treat her badly for the sake of the child in her womb.

He stayed here until evening before going back. He took his men and wandered outside Rong Xi's palace for a long time but did not dare to go in.

He only sent someone inside to call Zhizi out to ask about Rong Xi's situation, and then left.

Gardenia was angry in her heart, and her tone was not much better even though she knew he was His Majesty.

As soon as he entered the palace, he closed the door angrily.

Rong Xi found her expression funny, "What's wrong? Who pissed off our Gardenia?"

"Your Highness, I am just angry. She is so vicious! She drugged you repeatedly before you became pregnant, using safflower and musk, and other poisons. If Your Highness hadn't discovered this, who knows what would have happened by now."

"What are you angry about? I'm not angry at all."

"Your Highness, I am speaking up for you, but you didn't tell His Majesty. Now that she's pregnant, I'm afraid she won't let you go for the sake of the child she's carrying."

Rong Xi glanced at the door casually, then said with a look of forbearance and pain on his face.

"Silly girl, if I keep bothering His Majesty with these trivial matters, how can His Majesty concentrate on handling official business? Besides, I'm fine now."

"You are too kind, my lady. You think so, but others may not think so."

"Alright, I'm tired. Don't say these things again. If others hear us, they'll think we're dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine again."

"My Lady."

"Go ahead."

The emperor, who was eavesdropping outside the door at this time, was filled with anger. He wondered what the imperial concubine had done without his knowledge.

How could Rong Xi be so stupid and not tell me anything?

He had already left before Gardenia came out, and as soon as he returned to the imperial study, he sent out a few people to find out what had happened during this period.

The palace maid who was beaten to death that time was definitely not that simple.

He also asked the secret guard who had been guarding Rong Xi to tell him everything he had seen during this period. Rong Xi was very vigilant, so the secret guard did not dare to get too close.

He only had a general idea of ​​many things, and he wasn't completely clear about what they had said in private.

The emperor was so angry that he beat the secret guard with thirty sticks and replaced him.

Soon the person who went to investigate returned to the imperial study with the information he had found. The emperor looked at the information in his hand and his expression became more and more stern.

"This bitch."

He threw the memorial in his hand to the ground fiercely. After calming down, he issued an imperial edict to General Zhenbei, Concubine Zhao's brother, who was far away in the frontier, asking him to return to Beijing to celebrate Concubine Zhao's pregnancy.

He also secretly issued an imperial decree, asking his confidants in the army to find a way to take over part of the military power.

He also picked out and suppressed those officials who were on good terms with the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

If the power in their hands is taken away, those spoiled and old-fashioned people will create all kinds of difficult problems for their unpromising descendants.

As soon as the decree was issued, all the major families in the capital were busy and every family was in a state of panic.

After finishing all these, the emperor came to Rongxi Palace.

It was already very late, but this time he didn't care about Gardenia, which couldn't stop him at all, and walked straight in.

He took off his coat and lay down beside Rong Xi.

It would be unreasonable for Rong Xi not to wake up after such a big movement, so now the two of them looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty, why are you here so late?"

"Xi'er, I miss you very much. I have missed you very much during this period of time."

"Your Majesty, what's going on? I've always been here."

"I know, but I still feel like I can't catch you. Xi'er, I sometimes wonder if it was right to bring you to the palace. As an emperor, I have many concubines in my harem, but before I met you, I had never been so cautious with any woman."

"His Majesty……"

"Xi'er, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I failed to protect you and caused you to suffer so much."

Tears welled up in the emperor's eyes and his voice choked.

"Xi'er, if I hadn't been so selfish, you might have been able to marry into an ordinary family. I would have issued an order not to allow him to take concubines, and I would have been loyal to you alone for the rest of my life. Wouldn't you have avoided all these assassinations?"

"Your Majesty knows everything."

"Xier, I'm sorry."

The emperor hugged Rong Xi with heartache, afraid that Rong Xi would see his embarrassing appearance, so he silently buried his head in her chest.

"Your Majesty, I did not marry anyone else. I only entered the palace. You don't have to blame yourself. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I might still be in the Shangshu Mansion worrying about my livelihood and how to survive."

The emperor was moved and spoke with a nasal tone.

"Xi'er, wait a minute. I promise I will never let you suffer any injustice again!"
