Chapter 307 Worth it

The clear and tender cry of the infant made Yu Zheng's heart tremble, and his expression softened unconsciously. He rushed into the house in ecstasy.

"Prince...Prince." Yu Zheng suddenly entered the house, startling Tan Yu and others.

Aunt Gui held the newly wrapped child and led Tan Yu and others to report the good news to Yu Zheng: "Congratulations, Prince, congratulations, Prince, the princess gave birth to a little prince, and both mother and child are safe."

At this moment, nothing could be more pleasing to the ears than the four words "mother and child are safe".

Yu Zheng walked closer, staring at the crying child in the swaddling clothes with shining dark eyes.

Aunt Gui held the child and walked forward. Yu Zheng stretched out his hand and took the child gently and somewhat helplessly.

Miraculously, the child stopped crying as soon as he reached Yu Zheng's arms, and his wet eyes stared at Yu Zheng for a moment.

"What a good boy, he can recognize people right after he is born." Yu Lan joked.

Aunt Gui also smiled and said: "Blood is connected, father and son are of the same mind."

Yu Zheng looked at the child in his arms, the corners of his lips raised and said: "Reward, there are many rewards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tan Yu and others thanked him happily.

Jiang Shu was sweating profusely and panting slightly with a pale face. He looked at the father and son with almond-shaped eyes tenderly and smiled weakly and happily.

Yu Zheng held the child and walked to the bedside and sat down. He felt distressed and grateful: "Shu'er, this is our child."

"Yes." Jiang Shu responded softly, looking at the child's red face, tears of excitement and joy overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

This is their child.

Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu's hand and gently held the child's hand, then he covered it with his big palm and wrapped the hands of both mother and child.

Yu Lan stood aside, touched by the warm scene in front of him, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and said: "The child hasn't been washed yet, I'll take him to wash first."

"Okay." Yu Zheng handed the child to Yu Lan.

Nanny Gui and Chu Yu went to the bathroom, leaving only Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu in the inner room.

"Shu'er, you've worked hard." Yu Zheng grabbed Jiang Shu's hand with one hand and stroked Jiang Shu's face with the other.

Jiang Shu dodged and said: "I look ugly now, I'm all sweaty and dirty."

The weather was hot, and Jiang Shu had tried his best during the birth. He was soaked in sweat, just like he had been pulled out of the water.

Not only that, she had just given birth, and her clothes and bedding were all dirty, and she hadn't had time to change them.

In this state, she really didn't want to get close to Yu Zheng.

"It's not ugly, it's very clean." Yu Zheng's slender jade-like fingers brushed the hair that was wet with sweat and stuck to Jiang Shu's face to the side of her ears, and lowered his head to kiss the sweat on her forehead.

A faint blush appeared on Jiang Shu's pale cheeks, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The pain of giving birth for two hours became worth it in this kiss.

Seeing the fatigue in Yu Zheng's eyes, Jiang Shu remembered the words of the assassin and asked hurriedly: "Were you and your father assassinated?"

Yu Zheng frowned: "How did you know?"

Jiang Shu told him about the assassin in the mansion, and Yu Zheng's dark eyes were cold when he heard it.

He expected Cao Qian to kill them all and took the opportunity to attack Jiang Shu, but fortunately he left a secret guard.

Jiang Shu was about to ask about the assassination when Yu Lan and others came out with the child.

Nanny Gui said, "Your Highness, please go to the outer room and sit for a while. We will wash and change the princess into clean clothes."

Jiang Shu was really uncomfortable like this.

Yu Zheng reluctantly got up and went to the outer room.

Chu Yu and others moved quickly and quickly washed Jiang Shu and changed her clothes and bedding.

After everything was tidied up, Chu Yu and others left with the children, and Yu Zheng came in through the curtain.

"Why did you come back so early?" Yu Lan asked curiously.

There was no outsider in the room, and Yu Zheng told Jiang Shu and Yu Lan about the incident at Tianji Mountain.

The two were shocked after hearing this. Yu Lan said angrily, "Cao Qian is really vicious. He can even kill his own nephew."

Yu Zheng didn't say anything, but raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

He didn't sleep all night last night. He didn't eat breakfast after offering sacrifices to heaven and praying. He rushed all the way back to the palace. Now that he relaxed, Yu Zheng felt sleepy and hungry.

Jiang Shu had just given birth and was very tired and needed to rest.

So Yu Lan stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to bring some food. You can rest for a while after eating."

"Thank you, sister." Yu Zheng said.

Not long after Yu Lan left, Tan Yu brought food.

Yu Zheng helped Jiang Shu up and fed her personally.

After the meal, Yu Zheng took off his clothes and lay down beside Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu saw the cotton wrapped around his arms and shoulders, and was immediately shocked: "You are injured."

Yu Zheng said indifferently: "It's just a superficial wound, it's not a big deal."

"Go to sleep, I have to go to the palace later." Yu Zheng kissed Jiang Shu on the cheek as if soothing her, and fell asleep with her contentedly.

East Palace.

The bright sun shone on the blood-soaked ground, which was shocking to the eyes.

Concubine Yu Guifei and Xie Wanruo stood in the corridor, with heavy imperial guards in front of them.

The queen and Cao Muxue stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at them with resentment and hatred across the corpses in the courtyard.

The two hundred guards brought by the queen were no match for the five hundred imperial guards. Most of the corpses in the courtyard were guards of Yongning Palace.

After a fierce battle lasting for less than half an hour, only half of the guards in front of the empress were left.

"Aunt...Aunt." Cao Muxue's eyes were full of fear, as she had never seen so many dead bodies.

Concubine Yu Gui looked at the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing in patches, frowned and asked: "Empress, do you want to continue?"

Upon hearing this, the guards of Yongning Palace tightened their hands holding the knives and looked at the empress hesitantly.

Continuing to fight stubbornly would only result in more deaths.

The empress understood that she could not do anything to Concubine Yu Gui and Xie Wanruo at the moment.

"Go back to Yongning Palace." The empress turned around unwillingly and left after giving Concubine Yu Gui a look of resentment.

Cao Muxue followed the empress closely, as she did not dare to stay alone in the East Palace now.

After returning to Yongning Palace, the empress smashed the teacup on the table in anger.

"Aunt, what should we do next?" Cao Muxue asked tremblingly.

The empress glared at her unhappily and said, "What else can we do? We can only wait for your father to come back."

As long as Cao Qian's plan succeeds, the emperor and Yu Zheng are dead, and it will be easy to deal with Concubine Yu Gui and Xie Wanruo.

But what if the plan fails...

No, it can't fail! There is no such thing as a chance!

The empress clutched the armrests of the chair tightly, and felt that time passed very slowly while waiting. Every moment was torture.

When the sun was about to reach its zenith, hurried footsteps were finally heard outside the palace.

"Empress, the emperor... the emperor is back." The guard reported hurriedly.

What?

The Queen suspected that she had heard wrongly, and stood up and asked: "What did you say? The Emperor...is back?"

"Yes."

"What about the Crown Prince?" The Queen trembled slightly.

The guard hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...is seriously injured and unconscious."

"How could this happen?" The Queen was shocked and fell back weakly.

"What about me...my father?" Cao Muxue asked anxiously, swallowing her saliva.

The guard said: "I don't know..."

The Emperor is back alive, so is there any need to ask what will happen to Cao Qian? Either he will be captured or killed.

The Queen knew that it would be their turn soon.

Regicide is a serious crime that will punish nine generations of the family.

"Aunt..." Cao Muxue looked at the Queen in despair and fear, and couldn't stop shaking.
