Shangguan Lingyun's thoughts stopped abruptly, but Ye Xiaoxiao already understood what he was thinking.
Since he wanted to use the palace banquet to resolve the matter, she naturally would not object.
The palace banquet was scheduled for three days later. During these few days, most of the official business left over from the search for the antidote had been completed.
Shangguan Lingyun finally had time to be intimate with Ye Xiaoxiao, but Ye Xiaoxiao, who had originally had no pregnancy symptoms, suddenly began to feel uncomfortable.
Shangguan Lingyun was very worried, and all the imperial doctors were unable to help.
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao with a distressed face, Shangguan Lingyun felt very distressed.
"If I had known it would be so painful, I would have never let you have this child."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "Having a child is our destiny, how can we just say no to it?"
"Okay, you don't have to worry. It's just a little sleepiness and vomiting. Eating some sour plums will calm it down."
"Other people's pregnancies are much more difficult than mine, why don't you see others being so delicate?"
Shangguan Lingyun wanted to say more, but Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted him with a smile.
"Okay, I asked the system, and it said this is a normal reaction. It's nothing serious and will be fine after a while."
Shangguan Lingyun still felt distressed, but Ye Xiaoxiao really couldn't stand him and had to put on a stern face.
"Your son has been giving me enough trouble, don't tell me you don't want me to worry less."
Shangguan Lingyun had no choice but to soften his attitude and go along with Ye Xiaoxiao's words.
Ye Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, "Okay, tell me how things are going outside the palace?"
Shangguan Lingyun knew that she was asking about the matter between Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Du, so he told her everything.
Ever since we left, that person started to torture Shangguan Yu in various ways.
At first, Shangguan Yu could still curse a few words with courage, but later he was beaten to the point of having no more choice, so he began to beg for mercy.
Ye Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "That man doted on them mother and son the most, but one of them cheated on him, and the other wanted to seize his throne."
"He is ruthless to begin with. How can we tolerate him? Beating him to death is even a possibility."
"But if Shangguan Yu dies, there won't be another good scapegoat."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips slightly, "You are born to worry."
"You should take good care of your body now, and leave the rest to your husband."
"Tomorrow's palace banquet is that person's last chance. You and the child must be careful and safe."
"Although I have made every possible preparation, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen."
"If you really encounter danger, you must take the children and leave first, even if it means exposing the space."
"As for what happens next, I will explain it to them."
Ye Xiaoxiao took Shangguan Lingyun's big hand and patted it gently.
"You have made all the necessary preparations. There is nothing to worry about."
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. He always felt that nothing he did was enough for Ye Xiaoxiao's safety.
The most important thing is that he has been feeling a little uneasy recently, as if Ye Xiaoxiao will disappear in the next moment.
However, Ye Xiaoxiao was really upset now, and he didn't want to talk to her too much and bother her, so he paid extra attention to her affairs.
But even if Shangguan Lingyun didn't say it, how could Ye Xiaoxiao not see it? However, there were some things she hadn't figured out how to explain to him.
Therefore, the two of them tacitly did not mention this matter.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye amid Ye Xiaoxiao's pregnancy reaction and Shangguan Lingyun's busyness.
Early in the morning, the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing came to Ye Xiaoxiao's bedroom, each holding a child.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you think the two children are dressed?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the two children who looked like they had walked out of New Year pictures, her eyes and heart were filled with sweetness.
"Mother, Concubine Dowager, I'm really sorry to trouble you to take care of the two children during this period."
"Leave the two children to Tianxuan today. You should go and take care of your own affairs."
The two looked at Ye Xiaoxiao in confusion. Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand and asked Tianxuan and the nanny to leave with the child.
There were only three people left in the bedroom, and the expressions of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing suddenly became more serious.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them, invited them to sit down, and then slowly spoke.
"Shangguan Yu was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death by that man."
"The poison in that person's body was cured, and he thought he had obtained the elixir of immortality."
"The sharp claws that were previously hidden will be extended again at today's palace banquet."
"Xiaoxiao knows that even though you don't say it on the surface, there are still some unresolved issues in your hearts."
"Today, my husband will give you enough time to let you and him know about your past."
"If you still can't let him go, Your Majesty and I can support him until he grows old."
"If after your reckoning, you feel he deserves death, then we have already chosen the criminal."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, with a flash of determination in their eyes. However, when they looked at Ye Xiaoxiao again, there were smiles in their eyes.
"You and Lingyun are very thoughtful. In that case, Ai Jia and Concubine Jing will accept this favor."
"I've been calling myself 'Ai Jia' for so long, it's time for me to truly live up to the name."
Concubine Jing nodded in agreement, "Yes, after a lifetime of love and hate, there should be an explanation."
"Since he is so heartless, why should we bother ourselves with such trivial matters? Giving him a ride will be considered as fulfilling the relationship we have had for so many years."
After the two of them finished speaking, they didn't say anything more. Ye Xiaoxiao understood what they meant and nodded.
"He will be attending the palace banquet today, and we will arrange for him to stay in the same bedroom where he used to live."
"Everything is ready there. Mother and Consort Dowager just need to go over and wait for him."
The two nodded and left together. Ye Xiaoxiao knew that they still had some things to prepare, so she didn't try to keep them.
The palace banquet finally began after everyone's intensive preparations. Only then did men and women sit together, and the emperor and his ministers enjoy themselves together.
Shangguan Lingyun helped Ye Xiaoxiao sit on the high seat and accepted the worship of court officials and ladies.
"No need to be so polite, everyone, please stand up."
"Today, we come to celebrate the successful completion of the imperial examination and the addition of a talented person to the court."
"Secondly, to congratulate the Emperor and the two heirs on their recovery from the poison."
"Thirdly, now that the eldest prince has recovered, there should be an explanation for the position of crown prince."
When everyone heard this, they immediately congratulated loudly. Amidst the shouts of "Long live the emperor", Shangguan Lingyun looked at Shangguan Du beside him.
"Father, you are the Emperor Emeritus. I wonder what you would like to say about my appointment of the Crown Prince as Crown Prince?"
Shangguan Du's eyes turned slightly cold, and then he looked at Shangguan Lingyun with a half-smile on his face.
"At that time, I was in poor health, and you, as the crown prince, inherited the throne."
"Now that I am in good health, isn't it time for someone else to sit on the throne?"
As soon as these words were spoken, one could hear a pin drop in the entire hall, and everyone looked at Shang Guandu in disbelief.
Shangguan Du saw the surprised looks in everyone's eyes, snorted coldly, and then scolded them.
"Why, could it be that you also have objections to this?"
No one expected that the first thing Shangguan Du did after being detoxified was to seize power.
