After returning to the palace, the queen stayed indoors all the time. Everyone thought she was too sad. The emperor came to see her several times, but she was lying in bed and wrapped herself tightly.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the emperor only came a few times and rarely came again after that.

However, Concubine Xia came once, and her tone was humble but provocative. Now the only child in the palace was the one in her belly. Even though the emperor knew that it was she who had done something to the queen behind her back, he only said a few words to her. Now she is still the emperor's favorite.

The queen did not argue with her much and pretended to be heartbroken. Before Concubine Xia left, she pretended to cough as if she was about to die.

.

More than a month passed, and the incident of the queen giving birth to a stillborn baby was gradually forgotten.

The emperor still looked like a kind father with a smile on his face every day, and often took Concubine Xia for walks in the imperial garden.

I had hoped that this would irritate the Queen, ideally to the point of making her sick, but she seemed indifferent.

Three days later, early in the morning, several imperial doctors who had been taking care of the queen were hurriedly brought to the queen's palace.

The palace servants became busy again. The other concubines didn't know what had happened. They just thought that the queen was afraid that she was dying. They wanted to go and watch the fun, but they were afraid of bad luck.

In another courtyard in the capital, Rong Xi was also taking action.

She was still angry about Shen Ze'an sending the child to the palace, and she hadn't spoken to him much during this period.

Shen Ze'an also knew that he was wrong, so he personally made a lot of delicious food for Rong Xi and brought it to her to apologize.

As a result, Rong Xi suddenly looked painful while eating. Shen Ze'an's first reaction was that he was poisoned. He kept wondering how someone could have taken advantage of this loophole when he was the one who did it all.

Then Rong Xi said, "Chen Ze'an called for help. I'm about to give birth. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do."

“It’s born!?”

"Go quickly."

Shen Ze'an's hands and feet suddenly became uncontrollable, and he staggered out to see the midwife and servants who had been waiting in the yard for a long time coming to deliver the baby.

When he wanted to go in, he was blocked outside the door. He could only hear screams of pain from inside. Shen Ze'an couldn't help but burst into tears again.

He had never seen a woman giving birth. Was it so painful?

He regretted it, or to be more precise, he had regretted it a long time ago. He shouldn't have agreed to the Queen's impulse to send the child to the palace.

From inside, the midwife's voice asking Rong Xi to push harder and the sound of her endurance due to pain were heard again. Shen Ze'an couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go in.

And Rong Xi inside, in order to not seem too fake, shouted randomly for a while.

"System, double doses of Hundred Poison Invulnerability Pills and Body Building Pills."

The system was anxious for Rong Xi. Although so much time had passed, the system was still worried every time Rong Xi gave birth.

Mainly because I was scared by the world of the snake demon.

【Good morning.】

"System, I remember you seem to have a birthmark there."

System [Yes, if you need it, it's a few cents each.]

"You're such a jerk! Get two identical ones and put them on the child's left shoulder."

System [Okay, Rong Xi, I'll arrange it right away.]

The system is very fast, and the child will have a small birthmark on his shoulder when he is born.

The midwife happily carried the child to Rong Xi and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Madam, on giving birth to a little boy."

Rong Xi looked at the child's little face and felt very reluctant. He had to be separated from his mother at such a young age.

"Hold it closer so I can see it."

Rong Xi caressed the child's soft little face and, while the midwife wasn't paying attention, fed him the Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pill and the Body Building Pill. "Child, I'm sorry."

The nanny who hadn't spoken a word since she came in had been waiting here for a long time. She was the queen's person and was responsible for bringing the child into the palace.

The people inside have been told, so no one will say anything.

"Take it out and show it to the governor."

Shen Ze’an had heard the child crying a long time ago, but he didn’t dare to come in, fearing that if he saw the child, he wouldn’t want to send him to the palace.

Suddenly the door opened from the inside, and the midwife walked up to Shen Ze'an holding the child, "Congratulations, Lord Du, it's a little boy."

Shen Zean only glanced at the child, then set his sights on the man in the palace, and his murderous intent was so obvious that the people inside fell to their knees in fear.

His clenched fists tightened and loosened again, and finally he instructed the person he had arranged in advance to send the child to the palace.

As soon as the child left, the midwife inside congratulated Rong Xi with surprise, "Congratulations, madam, it's a little girl."

Shen Ze'an didn't know that Rong Xi was pregnant with twins. The moment he heard it again, he didn't care about anything else. He stumbled in and looked at the children beside Rong Xi. Finally, he couldn't hold back his tears and let them drip onto Rong Xi's bedding.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry for you and your son."

The room was quickly cleaned up, and the immunity pills and fitness pills were also eaten by the child in Rong Xi's arms.

Shen Ze'an wanted to hug him, but Rong Xi hadn't said a word to him yet, so he didn't know how to start.

"Xi'er, thank you for giving birth to two children for me, a childless person. Don't worry, I won't separate the two children."

Rong Xi knew there was nothing she could do about it. Seeing him crying like that, she finally softened her heart. "You haven't held a child yet, don't you want to hold her?"

Chen Ze'an wanted to cry even more. He had done something worse than an animal. He was not worthy of being a father, let alone a husband. And yet Rong Xi could still forgive him.

He wiped his tears without caring about his image and picked up the child gently. He had practiced secretly, but even after practicing countless times, holding the child now was still like a hot potato, and he didn't know where to start.

Not long after holding the child for a while, he burst into tears, which really made Shen Ze'an a little at a loss. He looked at Rong Xi with a look of help.

"Hold me here."

.

In the palace, the child had been secretly taken to the Queen's bedroom. She had been uneasy since yesterday. She was afraid that Rong Xi would change his mind, and even more afraid that something unexpected would happen along the way. She didn't feel relieved until the child was sent in.

Looking at the little child, she thought of her own dead child.

She carefully held the child in her arms, just as she had done countless times in her dreams, gently touching the child's forehead, her eyes full of love and determination.

"My child, I will definitely protect you well and won't let anyone hurt you."

Caijuan helped the queen lie down, and the midwife came out of the room in time, carrying the child. When she saw the emperor's face full of disbelief, she fell to her knees. "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince."

Although the emperor was confused, he still picked up the child and looked at him again and again. The empress dowager also came over and looked at the child with a smile on her face.

"The emperor looks exactly like you did when you were a child."
