Barbara's eyes darted around, and she took Peter the Great's hand, dismissed the others, and closed the door.
"Your Majesty, you must help the Princess Consort. After all, she helped you!"
"What...what do you mean by this?" Peter the Great was somewhat bewildered.
Barbara took off her coat.
Peter the Great quickly went over to close the window.
"Even though we haven't seen each other for several months, isn't it a bit too fast?"
Barbara maintained her smile, though her expression was slightly stiff, she still placed the Emperor's hand on her stomach.
"Your Majesty, feel this. The Princess helped your child, so isn't that the same as helping you?"
Peter the Great stared in astonishment at Barbara, who had taken off her coat and was now only wearing an undershirt, her protruding belly visible.
"You, what are you doing...?"
Barbara is pregnant. Is this his child?
Peter the Great was already over forty years old. Although the average lifespan of orcs was one hundred and fifty years, most people could only live to sixty or seventy years old, or even eighty years old, due to the wasteland world. However, it was no problem for the royal family to live to over one hundred years old. But he had already lived half his life and still had no children.
He has stated publicly on more than one occasion that after his death, he will pass the throne to his younger brother. His parents died early, and his brother is his only remaining relative. It is because of his support that his brother dares to act so recklessly in the empire. Regarding having children, despite having countless mistresses and even an empress over the years, none of them have conceived. Now…
He was excited at first, but then calmed down.
Barbara had naturally made thorough preparations.
“Your Majesty, Barbara has not seen you for the past few months in order to protect our child. In addition, because the baby is still unstable, I asked the Princess Consort to examine me. This month is exactly five months since the baby was born. If Your Majesty has any doubts, I can cooperate with Your Majesty's doctor to conduct a paternity test at this time.”
Since Barbara had said so, what could Peter the Great possibly disagree with? While he had some doubts, he was also excited and happy. Barbara dared to conduct a direct examination, so the child was 80 or 90 percent his.
Seeing Barbara's protruding belly, Peter the Great had no other thoughts. He quickly contacted his professional doctor. The emperor had a check-up every month, so this would not attract attention. The palace also had professional equipment. However, just to be on the safe side, he could not go with Barbara.
Even today, when he came to see Barbara, he didn't bring any attendants, only a eunuch who always followed him, in order to give Barbara a surprise.
He was somewhat glad that he had acted that day.
"I'll have Ang take you there. I'll arrange everything, don't worry!"
Medical Room
The doctor, who was urgently summoned, saw Peter the Great in the infirmary and Barbara with a protruding belly behind him.
My heart skipped a beat.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, he had the amniotic fluid drained and then produced the report as quickly as possible.
As soon as the report came out, he immediately thought back to whether he had offended Barbara, and then he recalled that he had handled the entire examination himself. After giving the report to the Emperor, he had to clear all the information in the medical room.
He took the report and handed it to the emperor.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
With Peter the Great having his own child, the landscape of the capital was about to be reshaped.
Despite the Emperor's current high regard and trust in the Flame Prince, he is ultimately just a younger brother, not his own son.
Barbara watched as Peter the Great's hands trembled as he held the report. The paternity test had been done, along with an ultrasound. Peter had a biological son, and his identity was now clear. But for now, she was just a mistress. If she didn't establish her position now, she feared that she would be forced to leave the child behind after the baby was born.
She held Peter the Great's hand.
The emperor quickly helped her sit down to the side.
“You’re pregnant all by yourself right now, it must be tough. If you need anything, just tell Ang. He’s been with me for years, he’ll definitely take care of things for you!”
“Ang, Angie has always only obeyed His Majesty’s orders, this…”
"From today onwards, they will also obey your orders!" To be precise, they will obey the orders of the child in her womb. Everyone present knew that the child in her womb would grow up to be the crown prince.
Peter the Great's arrangement of Ang'anchi was not enough; he thought for a moment and said, "Your accommodations and food will be changed starting today!"
Barbara shook her head and squeezed Peter the Great's hand: "Your Majesty, the child in my belly is only five months old. If Your Majesty is worried, why not ask the Princess Consort to come and keep me company? We get along very well. Besides, with her around, Your Majesty can rest assured. My residence and food will not be changed for the time being, so as not to be discovered by anyone with ulterior motives. I think the child should be at least seven or eight months old before the empire is announced, preferably... after nine months."
"That was just when spring was returning to the earth. The cold winter had passed, and early spring was about to begin. A child born in spring is the hope of everything!"
At this point in time, the meaning is much better. Most importantly, during the long winter, she couldn't contact Qin Yiyi, so she couldn't contact her biggest helper.
If anything goes wrong during this time, she will have no one to rely on.
Peter the Great hesitated. He had just had a child, and it was already the fifth month along. Such good news should have been shared, and he couldn't contain himself for a moment.
