Chapter 102 I Just Want to Have a Child with You
Meng Yan followed Lu Hao into the Yangxin Palace, and naturally attracted everyone's attention along the way.
When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, she ordered the palace maid to fetch clean water to wash Lu Haozhi's wound. She also took out the golden wound medicine she had just mentioned and applied it carefully. She wrapped it with extremely clean gauze, and every move she made was extremely considerate and cautious.
As long as she remains in the position of imperial concubine, this is her duty.
"Your Majesty has many wounds, but fortunately they are only abrasions and not deep. Don't get wet or eat irritating foods for the next few days. Remember to change the dressings. He will be healed in two days."
Lu Haozhi sat on the kang under the west window, staring at Meng Yan in front of him.
She concentrated on bandaging her own wound, giving instructions in a soft voice, as if she was very concerned about him.
"You, don't you want to ask me why I'm angry?"
Meng Yanling's lips curled slightly, revealing a sweet smile. "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and I dare not speculate on my own."
This standard answer made Lu Haozhi feel a little anxious.
"Today, you all go away. I am talking with my mother in Shoukang Palace. She asked me about the matter of heirs and asked me to keep it in mind."
Lu Haozhi said, staring straight at Meng Yan, "She wants me to recruit concubines."
Meng Yan nodded, her face understanding as she said, "The Emperor has been on the throne for five years, but he has no son. The position of Crown Prince remains vacant, which is detrimental to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Empress Dowager is worried about this matter for the Emperor. Fortunately, the concubines in the palace now..."
"Meng Yan!!"
Lu Haozhi interrupted her angrily without waiting for her to finish, put his long arms around her, held her tightly in his arms, and looked down at her.
The two of them were very close to each other, and because of the thin summer clothes, they could even feel the warmth of each other's skin.
"Are you going to become like them too?! You... don't you understand my intentions?!"
Meng Yan looked at the flames burning in Lu Haozhi's black eyes, wondering what was hidden in his rage. Those were the eyes she once loved so much, but now they frightened her.
"I... believe that being lost in the crowd is good for both the Emperor and me."
Her voice trembled slightly. Lu Haozhi's embrace was hot and strong, and she didn't want to fall into it again.
"Lost in the crowd?" Lu Haozhi chewed on this sentence and sneered, "What a lost in the crowd! Since the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are both worried about my offspring, I will listen to my beloved concubine's advice and summon the concubines to the Yangxin Palace to sleep with me tonight."
Having said this, he pulled Meng Yan even tighter into his arms, their noses almost touching. "Yan'er, I won't listen to your excuses. From today on, I will favor you every day until you bear my child!"
Those people, even including the queen mother, said all kinds of things and tried their best to get people to him. Wasn't it because they didn't have children?
Then as long as Yan'er has it, those people will shut up, right?
As for the dream... the things in the dream will not happen!
Meng Yan felt a pang of pain in her chest. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have been childless for seven years. I have already failed the emperor's will. I dare not delay the continuation of the dragon vein any further and become a sinner of the Great Zhou."
But I just want to be with your child.
The words were stuck in Lu Haozhi's throat, and he couldn't utter them no matter how hard he tried. It was as if something was tightly locking his throat, almost suffocating him.
The familiar and terrifying pain came towards him step by step.
The pain seemed to be getting more intense each time, as if it wanted to devour Lu Haozhi.
You don't let me think about it, but I still want to think about it!
Lu Haozhi held on to this idea almost obsessively. He hugged Meng Yan tightly, even wanting to rub her into his body. His flying sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his handsome face was almost distorted.
Meng Yan felt extremely uncomfortable being strangled by him, and the air in her chest seemed to be squeezed out. "Your Majesty, I... can't breathe..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt the arms around her suddenly loosen, and then Lu Haozhi's strong body fell limply on the kang.
"Emperor...Haozhi!"
These were the last words Lu Haozhi heard before he fell into a coma.
So, you still call me like this.
The emperor fainted, and the Yangxin Palace naturally fell into chaos again. Fortunately, Meng Yan was there to keep things in order, so it was not a complete mess.
Meng Yan ordered Rong'an to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Xiahou Yu over, while at the same time instructing the palace servants to keep the news secret and sent a confidant to Shoukang Palace to deliver the message.
The emperor is always distressed, the imperial physicians are helpless, and now he has even fainted. If the news gets out, people will surely be uneasy.
Lu Haozhi was the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The imperial power was far from stable, and many factions were surging in the court and among the people.
No matter how much love, hate, and grudges Meng Yan has with Lu Haozhi, she will never treat national affairs as a joke.
Although Lu Haozhi's heartache was strange, Meng Yan had gained some experience after several attacks, so she still ordered the palace servants to prepare the Yangxin Pills and feed them to him.
Xiahou Yu arrived and did not ask any questions. He just took out some silver needles and inserted them into the emperor's acupuncture points.
In a short while, Lu Haozhi was pricked like a hedgehog.
Xiahou Yu checked the emperor's pulse again, flipped his eyelids, frowned, and looked at Meng Yan, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The emperor's pulse is stable. This is... that old problem."
Meng Yan nodded slightly, her face as calm as water, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking, but her gaze was still on Lu Haozhi.
Xiahou Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so he suppressed the discomfort and walked out.
He still understood the difference between the ruler and his subjects.
But since he saw her again, the memories that he had buried became more and more vivid day by day.
On an early summer afternoon, a little girl in pink clothes staggered behind him, calling out in a soft voice, "Brother Yu, wait for me."
Half a cup of tea later, Empress Dowager Jiang also hurried over.
She was shocked when she first heard that Lu Haozhi fainted from heartache. Lu Haozhi had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had always been in good health. He had no heart disease or chronic illness. It had only been a few months since she left the palace when he developed such a disease.
In addition, she was also deeply worried that Meng Yan could not hold her own in the Yangxin Palace, and if the news leaked out, it would be even more difficult to resolve.
As expected, when they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, they found that everything was in order. The palace maids and eunuchs coming in and out did not even have a trace of sadness or anxiety on their faces, as if nothing had happened.
Empress Dowager Jiang saw this, and although she was still worried about her son's safety, she felt relieved. She nodded in admiration, thinking that Yan had grown so much in just a few months. Judging from her behavior, she already had the bearing of an Empress.
When she came into the bedroom, Meng Yan greeted her in a low voice. Looking at her son who was pricked like a hedgehog and was sleeping soundly, she walked out with Meng Yan.
"Your Majesty has had this strange illness several times. Although I'm not an expert in medicine, Imperial Physician Xiahou couldn't find any clues after examining him. It's just that each attack resolves itself, and there aren't any other symptoms. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
Meng Yan followed the empress dowager to the outside of the Yangxin Palace and told her about Lu Haozhi's illness.
Empress Dowager Jiang had been through many ups and downs, so she wasn't flustered by such a small matter. She simply nodded and said, "Yan girl, did you know that Hao'er intends to make you empress?"
