After Xiao Ruyu left, Emperor Shangwen fell into deep thought, stroking the dragon throne with his hand.

Is it really his fault?

Inside the Queen's Palace.

Xiao Ruyu's voice came before she arrived.

[Mother, mother! I'm back! ]

Empress Duan had heard that she had entered the palace long ago, but she was summoned directly by Emperor Shangwen, and she waited anxiously, clutching her handkerchief.

Hearing Xiao Ruyu's voice, she quickly stood up.

She caught the little meat ball that was running towards her, and she couldn't hide the worry in her words.

"Your father didn't make things difficult for you..."

"vomit……"

Queen Duan had just said half of her words when she suddenly covered her chest and began to retch, looking painful.

Xiao Ruyu stood there stupidly, raised his arm and sniffed.

[Mother, I don’t smell bad. ]

[Did mother eat something bad recently? ]

She looked around and nervously grabbed Queen Duan's hand.

Queen Duan waved her hand, indicating that it was not her fault, and sat down at the table.

Another wave of dry heaving came over her, and her face looked a little ugly.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Cui hurriedly put down the pastries she had just brought and shouted at the door.

"Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!"

The imperial physician came hurriedly, took Empress Duan's pulse for a moment, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

He knelt down and saluted, his excitement barely concealed in his words.

"Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam."

"The queen is pregnant!"

What, she's going to have a little brother?

Xiao Ruyu rushed forward excitedly, put her lips against Queen Duan's belly, and listened carefully.

Queen Duan smiled and pushed her hand away, looking at her belly with tenderness in her eyes, "I can't hear anything now, I have to wait until the month is a little bit older."

As soon as she returned to the palace, she received great news and Xiao Ruyu couldn't wait to find Doctor Yang.

[Mother, please wait here. I will ask Master to take your pulse.]

[So I can prescribe you some of the best abortion-maintaining medicines! ]

Before Queen Duan could stop her, she had already rushed out.

Imperial Physician Yang had just finished his rest when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Ruyu came up and pulled his sleeve without saying anything and walked out.

【Master, come with me to see my mother. 】

Seeing her agitated look, Doctor Yang mistakenly thought that Empress Duan was ill again, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the Empress?"

"Take Master to have a look."

[I’m going to have a little brother!!!]

Hearing her inner shouting, Doctor Yang was stunned at first, then burst out laughing.

"So that's how it is. This is a great thing."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the Queen's Palace.

Queen Duan was leaning back in a chair taking a nap. When she heard Xiao Ruyu's movement, she slowly opened her eyes.

She had indeed been much sleepier these days. If it hadn't been for today, she would never have thought that she was pregnant.

[Mother, I have brought my master here to check your pulse and protect your pregnancy.]

Xiao Ruyu pulled Doctor Yang over and looked at her eagerly.

Doctor Yang was also happy for Empress Duan and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Queen Duan held her forehead, smiled without saying a word, and stretched out her arm for him to feel her pulse.

After a moment, the joy on Doctor Yang's face became even more intense.

He looked up, his face excited.

"Empress, you are pregnant with twins."

Queen Duan was also very surprised. After confirming it again and again, she couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

"Is that true? That's really a great favor from the Emperor."

Xiao Ruyu's head suddenly buzzed and the words "twins" echoed in her ears.

【Mother! 】

She jumped up suddenly, almost scaring Queen Duan, and she grabbed her hand tightly.

【I’m going to have two little brothers! 】

[No, no, they could be two little sisters! ]

[No, no, it could be a little sister and a little brother. ]

Xiao Ruyu counted on his fingers and almost got himself into trouble.

Seeing her like this, Doctor Yang couldn't help laughing and deliberately frightened her, "The little princess is so excited, aren't you afraid that the queen will stop loving the little princess after she has a little prince and little princess?"

【No way. 】

Xiao Ruyu raised his head with a determined look on his face.

She didn't dare to get into Queen Duan's arms again, and could only hold her arms and said sweetly.

[My mother loves me the most. Even if she has ten or eight little brothers and sisters, she loves me the most.]

"Okay, okay, mother can't have so many children." Empress Duan smiled and rubbed her hair, her face calm, "I will go now and tell your father the good news."

After Queen Duan left, Xiao Ruyu suddenly remembered something, and the excitement that had just risen in her heart was somewhat dampened.

She was thinking about Queen Duan's pregnancy, but still felt that something was not done well.

Although having twins in one pregnancy was a good thing, and could temporarily stop the Empress Dowager from urging her to have a son, the Empress Dowager was stubborn. If both twins were princesses...

Wouldn't that make the Empress Dowager even more displeased with Mom, and then she would force women on Dad.

No, she must stop this from happening!

Why not try the same old trick again...

At night, she knocked on Eleven's door.

【Eleven, have you taken a break? 】

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened, "Little princess, it's cool outside, come in."

Eleven was wearing a thin inner garment and seemed to be just about to rest.

"It's so late, what do you want, little princess?"

Xiao Ruyu moved closer to him, blinking her big eyes.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously. When Eleven saw her like this, he vaguely felt that she was going to do something bad again.

【Eleven, I do have something to trouble you with. 】

She told Eleven what happened today and sighed.

[I don't know the gender of the fetus. If it's a little princess, it will definitely make the Empress Dowager unhappy.]

【That’s why I came to you for help. 】

When Eleven heard this, he looked embarrassed, "But..."

"Eleven doesn't know how to tell the sex of the fetus."

[Oops, who told you to look at the gender? ]

Xiao Ruyu patted him on the shoulder, resting her chin on her hand and bringing up the last incident with Rumeng.

[I was thinking...]

[Let you enter the dream of the Empress Dowager again, so that she can be mentally prepared in advance! ]

She kept walking around the room, discussing the details with Eleven.

After falling into the dream again, Eleven imitated the tone of the late emperor and told the empress dowager that if all the people were princesses this time, Xuan Kingdom would be more prosperous and lasting in the future.

It is a sign of great fortune and luck.

Although Eleven was a little hesitant, she couldn't resist Xiao Ruyu's clinging to her, so she had to agree.

【Then let’s start dreaming now. 】

Xiao Ruyu sat on the bed expectantly, hoping that Eleven would fall asleep right now.

"Should I tell Master about this..." Eleven said worriedly.

[No need, Master will support me if he knows.]

Xiao Ruyu was full of confidence and looked at him eagerly.

Eleven closed his eyes, circulated his inner strength, and spiritual energy began to linger around him.

Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Seeing this, Xiao Ruyu summoned some spiritual power to help him leave his body.

"out!"
