When Ye Wanshu returned home, Concubine Zhang and her people came out to greet her, she suddenly felt unwell.
She was so dizzy that Concubine Zhang and Fu Yunni turned pale with fear. They rushed forward to support her.
After helping her back to Mucangzhai, Concubine Zhang immediately called a doctor to take her pulse.
Seeing the doctor's frown, Concubine Zhang anxiously asked, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"
"Tai...Taihong." The doctor said with some difficulty, "The Crown Princess is pregnant."
"Happy... happy pulse?"
Concubine Zhang covered her mouth with her hands in embarrassment. Thinking about how her son had done something so great without saying a word, she cursed inwardly, "What a bastard little bastard."
Upon learning that Ye Wanshu was unwell, Emperor Zhaolie did not care much and rushed to Mu Cang Zhai in person. When he heard that the girl was pregnant, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
As he came closer, Emperor Zhaolie looked much more energetic.
"Our royal family finally has an heir. Heaven has truly rewarded us." Emperor Zhaolie excitedly said to himself, "Wan'er, you must take good care of her."
"Your Majesty, it's all because of your inability to discipline your children." Concubine Zhang was happy in her heart, but she still blamed herself in a reserved manner: "That rebellious son..."
"Hey, this is not Jinghe's fault, and even less Mingchi's."
Emperor Zhaolie said helplessly, "It's all my incompetence that has kept Daye in turmoil, and the marriage between Jinghe and the Crown Prince has been repeatedly delayed. I don't have much time left, and I only hope to see Mingchi give birth to a new family for the royal family soon."
"Your Majesty, please don't say such things." Concubine Zhang said, "Your Majesty will surely live a long and prosperous life."
"You don't have to comfort me. I've long since become indifferent to life and death." Emperor Zhaolie waved his hand at her, a smile on his face. "I want to do everything I can while I'm still healthy."
After saying this, he immediately summoned several palace maids and spoke impatiently, "Draft an edict for me to posthumously confer the title of Crown Prince on my brother Fu Yancheng, to appoint Jinghe as Crown Princess, and to designate the Crown Prince's son as the Crown Prince's eldest grandson."
"Your Majesty, isn't this a little too early?" Ye Wanshu said, feeling somewhat apprehensive. "The child in my belly may not even be a boy."
"With my blessing, it will definitely be a boy," Emperor Zhaolie said with extraordinary determination. He then silently clasped his hands together and prayed silently: "May our ancestors bless us. Please bless Jinghe to have many children for Daye and to ensure that our country has a promising heir."
Seeing the emperor's serious and pious look, Fu Yunni couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Uncle Emperor, what if my sister-in-law gives birth to a princess?"
"Crow's mouth."
Emperor Zhaolie curled his lips, then looked back at Ye Wanshu with a smile, "Wan'er, don't feel too stressed. If she really is a princess, both I and the Crown Prince will love her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Wanshu pursed her lips.
What she cared about most at this moment was Fu Mingchi's safety. She only hoped that he could defeat the northern invaders and return safely.
......
As dusk fell, the area outside the Eastern Palace had already become a river of blood as the Daqiu cavalry and the incorporated new army engaged in a melee.
Although Daye's new recruits were not as good at fighting as Daqiu's cavalry, they had the advantage of being more numerous and were determined to fight against the common enemy, so Helian Jiu and her men did not gain any advantage this time.
Just when the two sides were exhausted from fighting, they suddenly saw a lot of cavalrymen rushing out from all directions, holding torches high and quickly surrounding the area.
Gu Tingchen had just seized the imperial seal and was feeling smug when he looked up and saw Ji Yunze riding a tall horse towards him.
"You stinky scholar, weren't you demoted to Qizhou? Why did you come to Lin'an?" Gu Tingchen suddenly felt something was wrong and stared at him in astonishment.
"Prince Daoan, don't worry about that." Ji Yunze smiled slightly and instructed Zhu Wencai, "General Zhu, please take back the imperial seal."
Seeing the jade seal fall into Gu Tingchen's hands, Helian Jiu was furious and was about to fight for it, but was kicked away by Gu Tingchen: "It's already this hour, and you, a witch, are still thinking about the jade seal. We have been plotted against."
"That's because you, a bastard, broke your promise and trusted that little bitch from the Ye family." Helian was furious and held the sword tightly, wanting to fight with him.
Gu Tingchen held the jade seal tightly in one hand and pointed the knife at her with the other: "This king forbids you to call her a bitch."
Helian Jiu shook his head speechlessly: "Gu Tingchen, you are so stupid. Can't you see that the little bitch doesn't even have you in her eyes?"
"Impossible." Gu Tingchen refused to give up. "Wanwan is just angry that I put her in danger. If I kill you today, she will definitely accept me again."
Seeing the two demons playing the bickering game of children in the market, Ji Yunze lost his patience and waved his hand: "Catch them all."
Zhu Wencai and his men immediately surrounded Gu Tingchen, while Qizhou general Chen Ping led his men to capture Helian Jiu.
Seeing the situation around him taking a turn for the worse, Helian Jiu saw the cavalry of Daye stretching as far as the eye could see. He had no idea where this army had suddenly appeared from, and he retreated in shock.
"My royal brother has led 300,000 cavalry and is about to arrive in Lin'an. Don't act rashly." Helian Jiu warned loudly.
Ji Yunze smiled and said, "Princess Helian is still looking forward to your brother coming to Lin'an. I'm afraid you two siblings can only be together in the underworld."
At a command, all the Qizhou troops rushed towards Helian Jiu and the remaining Daqiu soldiers, and captured the two rebel forces with almost no effort.
When Gu Tingchen was being escorted by Zhu Wencai after the jade seal was taken back from him, and he was struggling constantly, Ji Yunze stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. Thinking of the past, he stepped on his face without hesitation.
"You stinking scholar, that's all you've got," Gu Tingchen sneered, "You've been pestering Wanwan endlessly, but in the end, you still haven't won her heart."
Hearing this, Ji Yunze could no longer conceal the anger in his eyes.
If it weren't for that bastard interfering, he would have married the princess long ago.
The hand holding the knife kept shaking. He gritted his teeth and suddenly stabbed the sword directly into Gu Tingchen's shoulder. The tip of the knife mixed with blood kept stirring on his shoulder. Gu Tingchen vomited blood, but his red eyes stared straight at the direction of Ji Mansion, and he struggled to crawl forward.
"Wanwan, cousin, I don't believe you would be so cruel to me." Gu Tingchen muttered to himself.
"You still have the nerve to mention her?"
The more Ji Yunze listened, the angrier he became. He suddenly drew his sword and stabbed it hard into his back.
"Wanwan, cousin has never thought of abandoning you." Gu Tingchen said to himself, enduring the pain in his back.
"You despicable and shameless man, if it weren't for you, how could the princess have suffered so much?"
Ji Yunze was furious and drew his sword to hack at him. Zhu Wencai was terrified and was about to come over to stop him. When he looked over here, he found that Gu Tingchen had already fallen in a pool of blood.
"This man has done so many evil things. Isn't it too easy for Ji Sima to kill him like this?" Zhu Wencai complained indignantly.
But seeing Ji Yunze's sinister look, he couldn't say anything more. He could only order the soldiers to clean up the corpses near the East Palace and took his men back to Ji Mansion to report.
