Li Yunyan was slightly surprised. She had guessed that Yun Yi would do something to the emperor, but she didn't expect him to take his life directly!
"Yuanbao, tell me quickly! How did His Majesty die?"
Yuanbao, with a gloating expression, didn't even try to hide it, and said with a smile, "His Majesty was found dead by the palace maids of Chengen Palace... on Consort Zhao's bed."
"What about Lady Zhao?" Li Yunyan pressed.
"Consort Zhao felt deeply guilty and has hanged herself!"
Holy crap!
Killing two birds with one stone!
Li Yunyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Consort Zhao is truly deeply devoted to His Majesty!"
"That's right!" Yuanbao laughed. "The Grand Master, moved by Consort Zhao's deep affection, granted her family permission to enter the palace to see her one last time. And then, well, her family couldn't bear the shock and all of them smashed their heads against the coffin!"
this......
It's a bit far-fetched, but at first glance, it does make some sense!
"Then, who is the newly enthroned emperor?"
Yuanbao touched his nose, unsure whether he should laugh or not, and said with a twisted face, "Your Majesty, the new emperor is the son of the Empress, and he just turned two years old this year."
Forehead......
What can a two-year-old emperor do?
In the future, we'll all have to rely on Yunyi!
With the biggest problem at hand solved, Li Yunyan felt refreshed. In this palace, she would no longer have to hide and be afraid to go out!
Then—and tragically, she started experiencing morning sickness.
She hadn't figured out how to tell Yun Yi about her pregnancy yet, since Yun Yi hadn't told her his secret yet, and she probably still thought he was a real eunuch!
If you openly tell him that you are pregnant, wouldn't that be an admission of pregnancy?
And... hehe! Yunyi is amazing!
She wanted to enjoy herself a little longer.
When she was almost two months pregnant, there was a dish of "peony fish slices" for dinner. As soon as she brought the porcelain spoon to her mouth, she smelled the fishy smell, immediately put the spoon down, turned her head and began to gag uncontrollably.
Yunyi was terrified.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Li Yunyan kept gagging, waving her hands and unable to speak.
"Yuan'an! Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
"No!" Li Yunyan finally stopped gagging, quickly grabbed him, and shook her head slightly at him, "Don't summon the imperial physician."
Her eyes were already red, and there were still some tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Yun Yi picked her up with a pained expression and placed her on his lap. He gently massaged her chest and asked anxiously, "Yan Yan, where are you feeling unwell? Why haven't you summoned the imperial physician?"
Li Yunyan lowered her eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, her expression both worried and helpless.
Yun Yi waved his hand, dismissing everyone in the hall, and lowered his head to comfort the woman in his arms.
Seeing that she was about to burst into tears, Yunyi coaxed her, "Yanyan, don't be afraid. What is your illness? Just tell me, and I will find all the doctors in the world to cure you!"
Li Yunyan found it hard to speak, tears streaming down her face. After a long while, she finally said softly, "My lord, I... I haven't had my period in a long time!"
"A quiet life?" Yun Yi was slow to understand what she meant.
Before he could ponder further, Li Yunyan continued, "I once heard someone say when I was in the Li family that if a woman's period doesn't come after marriage, it means... it means she's pregnant... but I and the Sect Leader..."
Before she could finish speaking, she started sobbing.
"Palmprint, I really didn't do anything inappropriate with anyone, I don't know why this happened! Waaaaah..."
She cried with tears streaming down her face, looking wronged and helpless, while carefully observing Yunyi's expression, afraid that he would be angry.
Yun Yi was completely frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place, his face showing a complex expression that was a mixture of extreme joy and disbelief.
He stood there stunned for a long time, before finally managing to utter a low, hoarse voice, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing: "Yanyan... what did you just say? You mean... you're pregnant? I... did I hear that right?"
As he spoke, he unconsciously pulled her closer. When he saw the apprehensive and panicked look in Li Yunyan's eyes, all his doubts vanished instantly. In their place, a surge of overwhelming happiness welled up inside him.
"Yanyan, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
Yun Yi was so excited he was almost incoherent, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He stared intently at Li Yunyan's flat stomach and whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, it's our child! It's ours!"
Li Yunyan's eyes widened. "Yunyi, what did you say? I'm pregnant with our child? But you clearly..."
"Yanyan!" He pulled her into a tight embrace, inhaling her fragrance deeply, and said with a blissful smile, "She's our child! Yanyan, I'll tell you everything! I actually..."
Yunyi told Li Yunyan about his background in detail.
He was originally the son of a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan, but his family was murdered because his father was framed.
He was only four years old at the time. The killer took pity on him because of his young age and spared his life, but sold him to a child slave.
After several transfers, Yunyi was sold into the palace.
The eunuch in charge of the castration took pity on him, as he was running a high fever at the time. If the operation were carried out immediately, he would definitely not survive the day! The elderly eunuch took pity on him and decided to let him recover from his illness before carrying out the execution.
Who knew that as they raised them, they would develop feelings for each other?
This eunuch was his adoptive father: Gao Ji.
Seeing that Yun Yi was very obedient, sensible, and cute, Gao Ji genuinely treated him like his own son. Taking advantage of his position, he easily deceived everyone by substituting other people's things for Yun Yi's.
Although Yun Yi was young, he always remembered his name and what the assassins who wiped out his family looked like.
Later, he discovered that the assassins were sent by the late emperor, who was then the crown prince.
It was simply because he was interested in his family's ancestral mining assets.
Later, he began a series of acts of revenge. He bided his time and waited until he had enough power before poisoning the late emperor, praising his son to death, and now he wants to ruin his grandson as well.
Throughout Yun Yi's speech, his expression remained blank, and his voice betrayed no emotion. Li Yunyan, however, knew that he was deeply saddened and angry, but that sadness and anger had been gradually suppressed through years of pretense.
She hugged him tenderly, patted his back gently as he did, and whispered comfortingly, "Yunyi, you did a great job! If your parents were watching from heaven, they would be so proud of you!"
She kissed his forehead, then the tip of his nose, and then his lips, saying gently, "Yunyi, now that we have a child, do you think your parents will be very happy?"
"They are also your parents."
Yun Yi cupped her face in his hands and said firmly, "Yan Yan, I want to marry you!"
