Gu Yanyue was startled for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Xiao Mo, did Ah Yan just say something to you? Come on, get up first, don't kneel on the ground yet. Although it is summer now, the temperature is still a little low at night, and the ground is bound to be a little cold."
Xiao Mo was unmoved and still insisted on kneeling, saying, "Your Majesty, even when she was pregnant, Concubine Liu still didn't forget to frame you. If she really gave birth to a firstborn son, then given Concubine Liu's personality, she would definitely climb over your head!"
This was a bit over the top, but Gu Yanyue didn't care. After letting Ah Yan pull Xiao Mo up from the ground, she said, "Why are you all so anxious? I'm not anxious at all, so why are you anxious? And there's no point in being anxious now, right? I can't possibly go to Yanxi Palace and force Liu Yanyan to abort the baby, can I?"
"And Liu Yanyan didn't know she was pregnant. Although we'd only met a few times, I knew her personality very well. If she really knew she was pregnant, she definitely wouldn't use the baby in her belly to frame me. After all, the risk is too great, and she wouldn't do it."
"But it's a fact that Concubine Liu is pregnant." Xiao Mo stood up from the ground and met Gu Yanyue's gaze again: "Your Majesty, you should also consider yourself. After all, if Concubine Liu gives birth to His Majesty's eldest son first, I'm afraid..."
Seeing how worried they were about her, Gu Yanyue suddenly laughed: "Don't you think about how Liu Yanyan got pregnant?"
There was much more meaning in Gu Yanyue's words, which made Xiao Mo and A Yan unable to continue the conversation for a while.
Gu Yanyue put down her teacup and said to them, "Don't you think about it? Ah Ran usually lives in Fengqi Palace or stays in the imperial study. Even if Liu Yanyan really has the ability to break into the imperial study and make Ah Ran favor her, haven't you forgotten that the concubines' sleepovers must be recorded in a book, and this book must be sent to me every month for me to see."
Gu Yanyue has said this much, if A Yan and Xiao Mo still haven't reacted, then they are really slow to react.
Ah Yan reacted before Xiao Mo did. "Your Majesty, are you saying that Concubine Liu is pregnant with..." Before he could finish his words, Gu Yanyue pressed her lips, preventing Ah Yan from continuing. "Shh! Some things are better left to yourself. Don't say them out loud."
Ah Yan, whose mouth was held by Gu Yanyue, nodded twice repeatedly to indicate that he remembered everything, and then Gu Yanyue let go.
After Gu Yanyue let go, Ah Yan made a gesture of closing his mouth towards her, indicating that even if he died and was buried in the ground, even if his body had rotted away, he would never tell this matter!
After dispelling the concerns of her two personal palace maids, Gu Yanyue let them go first, and she still sat in the hall waiting for Yuwen Ran to return from Yanxi Palace.
…
"Your Majesty, the child of Concubine Liu..." As soon as they left the territory of Yanxi Palace, Zheng Hai couldn't wait to ask Yuwen Ran what to do with the child in Liu Yanyan's belly.
Zheng Hai is the eunuch serving Yuwen Ran. Apart from Gu Yanyue who knew at a glance that Liu Yanyan was pregnant with Yuwen Ran's child, only Zheng Hai knew about it.
"I know I can't keep her. If possible, I would like to give her a bowl of medicine now so that the baby in her belly can be miscarried directly..." Yu Wen Ran walked in front and spoke coldly, as if the child in Liu Yanyan's belly was not his. However, it was not his in the first place, so Yu Wen Ran's attitude was not surprising.
"Then I will go to the Imperial Hospital and ask them to prepare the abortion pills?" Zheng Hai followed behind Yu Wenran and asked cautiously.
"The Queen Mother wouldn't allow it," Yuwen Ran said. "If she hadn't stopped me, the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly would have been gone by now."
When the Queen Mother said she must protect the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly, Yuwen Ran knew that this matter was obviously related to the Queen Mother. Otherwise, Liu Yanyan's brain would definitely not be able to come up with such a "perfect" plan.
But they absolutely shouldn't have used the child against him, thinking that after he and Gu Yanyue had a little wonton, he would have special feelings for the child? What a joke! If that were the case, Yuwen Ran wouldn't have been able to stay on the throne for so long.
This made Liu Yanyan's pregnancy a rather tricky matter. If Liu Yanyan gave birth to a daughter after ten months of pregnancy, it would be fine. If it was a son, he would be the eldest son in the palace. When he wanted to appoint a crown prince in the future, if Gu Yanyue still had no prince, then he would have no choice but to appoint Liu Yanyan's bastard, whose father was unknown, as the crown prince.
So today, when the people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion entered the palace and saw that Liu Yanyan was pregnant, they neither made a fuss nor argued. They just said a few words in front of Liu Yanyan's bed and left quickly.
Perhaps in their eyes, Gu Yanyue almost caused Liu Yanyan to have a miscarriage, and if Liu Yanyan gave birth to a son, then Gu Yanyue would most likely lose her position as queen.
Moreover, when they came, the Queen Mother had already sent someone to explain the situation to them and promised them that if Liu Yanyan gave birth to a legitimate son, she would personally ask Yu Wenran to depose Gu Yanyue from the position of Queen and make Liu Yanyan the Queen.
When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard that his daughter might be the future empress, he immediately agreed to all the requests made by the empress dowager. If Liu Yanyan really became the empress, then when Yuwen Ran attacked the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion again in the future, would he have to show some leniency to the mansion for the sake of Liu Yanyan and his unborn grandson?
But the Marquis of Zhenbei was still too naive. Since ancient times, there has been a saying: the world is unpredictable.
It's not the last moment yet, so it's impossible to know the ending in advance.
When Yu Wenran returned to Fengqi Palace, it was almost dawn. It would be too late to go to bed at this time, and Gu Yanyue was not in the mood to rest.
When Gu Yanyue saw Yu Wenran finally returned, she immediately went up to him and asked, "What did Liu Yanyan say? How did this child come about? How did she explain it to the Queen Mother?"
Gu Yanyue asked so many questions right at the start, which really stumped Yu Wenran. He didn't know which one to start answering first.
But no matter what, Gu Yanyue was most concerned about Liu Yanyan's explanation of the child. She just said, "Just answer Liu Yanyan about how the child came about."
