"What?" Lin Xiaoxiang opened her eyes wide, grabbed Qinse's arm tightly with both hands, and asked, "What did you just say? Who's in jail?"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Majesty, rumors are spreading everywhere that Your Excellency the Prime Minister has secretly raised an army. After the Emperor learned of this news, he immediately sent the Imperial Guards to surround the Prime Minister's residence and arrested Your Excellency the Prime Minister." There was still some trembling in Qinse's voice at this time.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Lin Xiaoxiang let go of Qinse's arm. The news was too sudden and she couldn't accept it at all.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiang felt a pain in her stomach: "Ah, my stomach. My stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Qin Sehe was still in shock because of the news that the prime minister had been arrested, but at this moment she suddenly heard her master cry out in pain.
She looked up and saw her master holding her huge belly with a painful expression on her face.
"Empress, what's wrong with you? Someone come quickly!" Qinse had never given birth before, and when she saw Lin Xiaoxiang's painful expression, she was a little panicked.
After a lot of shouting and yelling, several maids finally rushed over. When they saw Lin Xiaoxiang like this, they were immediately horrified and said, "Oh no, the queen is about to start a war. Go and get the imperial physician."
In a short period of time, the prime minister was arrested and Lin Xiaoxiang gave birth prematurely.
Fortunately, although the due date has not yet arrived, it is not far away, so there is no danger for Lin Xiaoxiang to give birth this time.
In the delivery room, after Lin Xiaoxiang screamed heart-wrenchingly for several hours, she heard the sound of a baby crying.
"It's born, it's a boy." The midwife held the child in front of Lin Xiaoxiang and asked Lin Xiaoxiang to confirm the child's gender.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiang was pale because of childbirth and her face was covered with sweat, but when she heard that she had given birth to a son, she felt that she had a chance to turn things around again.
Son, I gave birth to a son, and this child is the second prince. I am the mother of this child, and I can be honored because of my son!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Xiaoxiang's face.
So what if the Prime Minister is arrested? Now that I have a son, who can do anything to me?
After Lin Xiaoxiang was transferred to her room, she was still complacent. She had completely forgotten that she was not qualified to raise a child with her current status.
"Is it a boy? Take him to Gegena. From now on, Gegena will be his mother." After receiving the news that Lin Xiaoxiang had a premature birth, Situ Yao slowly rushed over.
When he arrived, the child had already been born. When the midwife held the child in front of him, he didn't even look at it and only said this sentence.
The midwife was a little surprised by Situ Yao's reaction. Who would ignore their own son and not even look at him?
Then the midwife shook her head again. Who could explain what was happening in the royal backyard? No matter what happened, she just had to do her own thing.
Remembering that Situ Yao asked her to send the child to Gegena, the midwife wrapped the child tightly in a small quilt to prevent it from being blown by the wind.
When a concubine gave birth, Su Mengyan, as the mistress of the harem, actually did not need to be present, but because this was the first concubine to give birth besides herself, Su Mengyan still rushed over.
When she came over, she saw the midwife holding a swaddling baby and preparing to leave.
"What are you holding?" Su Mengyan asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I am holding the Second Prince." Hearing Su Mengyan's question, the midwife stopped, bowed to Su Mengyan, and then answered.
"The second prince? The child that Lin promised to give birth to? Then where are you going to take him now?" Su Mengyan was very curious. Why did the midwife want to take this newborn baby away?
After hearing Su Mengyan's question, the midwife told her what Situ Yao had said.
"I understand. You go ahead." Su Mengyan frowned, but thinking that this was Situ Yao's order, she let the midwife go.
When she saw Situ Yao, she asked directly, "Why did you give Lin Xiaoxiang's child to Gegena to raise?"
No one else knew about Gegena's identity, but Su Mengyan knew it very well. On the surface, Gegena was a beauty sent as tribute by Tubo, but Gegena was free and she could return to Tubo at any time and anywhere.
This was also one of the questions Su Mengyan had about Situ Yao giving the child to Gegena to raise. In his opinion, no matter what, the child in Lin Xiaoxiang's belly was Situ Yao's, the second prince of this country. Wasn't it a bit too irresponsible to give him to someone who might leave at any time to raise?
After hearing Su Mengyan's words, there was no displeasure on Situ Yao's face, because he also knew that Su Mengyan was worried about him.
Situ Yao raised his lips slightly and said, "Lin Xiaoxiang's status does not allow her to raise a child herself, so her child will naturally have to be raised by someone else. I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, it is precisely because of this that I let Gegena raise this child."
What? Su Mengyan couldn't believe what Situ Yao said. She didn't know why Situ Yao would give the child to Gegena to raise when he knew the situation.
But before she could open her mouth to ask, she heard Situ Yao continue, "I know you are worried that Gegena will leave, but if she has this child, then she will be willing to stay here, because this child will become a bargaining chip for Dillans."
It has to be said that Situ Yao made this decision after much deliberation. He knew very well in his heart that this was not his child, so he could be so cruel.
Seeing that Situ Yao seemed to have arranged the matter very well, although Su Mengyan felt that using the child as a bargaining chip seemed inappropriate, there were some things she could not interfere with, so she could only give up.
After Lin Xiaoxiang gave birth to the child, she felt a little weak and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she immediately called Qinse.
"Where is my child? Hurry up and bring the child here for me to see." This is the capital for her to make a comeback in the future. As long as the child can stay with her, she still has a chance to turn things around.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiang's joyful voice fell, she saw Qinse's face filled with tears, and Lin Xiaoxiang's heart suddenly panicked.
"What's wrong? Where's the child? Where's my child?" Logically speaking, after giving birth, the child should be placed next to her, but when she woke up, she looked and found that there was no chubby little baby next to her.
