Chapter 244 Good heavens! The emperor who had no heir has become a father!
Zhao Dongzhi spoke very seriously, staring intently at Xiao Xingyuan. As a commander, he knew all too well what it was like for women and children to lose the pillar of their families.
Although the imperial court would provide some compensation, it was only a drop in the bucket. If it could help supplement their household income, they would surely do their best!
"You're great, your idea is great, then it's settled."
"I will ask the Imperial Concubine for the recipe. Go back and wait for news."
Xiao Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Zhao Dongzhi had finally come back to life; it was truly an achievement.
But why do I feel a little sour at the same time as I feel relieved?
After seeing Zhao Dongzhi off, Xiao Xingyuan got up and walked towards the Begonia Palace. Before he even entered, he could already hear Meng Yanzhi's laughter.
"Higher! Higher!"
"I already told you I'm not afraid, Qingdao, just use your strength!"
Meng Yanzhi sat on the swing, acting coquettishly and laughing incessantly.
Upon seeing Xiao Xingyuan enter, Meng Yanzhi immediately waved to him, "Your Majesty, come over here quickly, let's play together!"
Xiao Xingyuan had come over in a huff, but seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, he hurriedly came over, took Qingdao's place, and started pushing Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi swayed high, her eyebrows curving into crescents, overjoyed.
After playing for a while, Meng Yanzhi got off the swing, wrapped her arms around Xiao Xingyuan's neck, and kissed him: "Your Majesty, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, Zhao Dongzhi is alive again, and we have you to thank for that!" Xiao Xingyuan put his arm around her waist and looked at her with a half-smile, clearly unhappy and jealous.
Seeing his stingy attitude, Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly and then said, "I thought Your Majesty would praise me, but I didn't expect my good intentions to be unappreciated. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have helped you!"
"You're helping me? I feel like you're helping the Zhao family." Xiao Xingyuan snorted, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi sat down on a chair nearby and said calmly, "Of course I'm on His Majesty's side. General Wang Huan is going too far. Doesn't he need someone to check him? Besides the Zhao family, I really can't think of a second candidate. The most important thing is that Zhao Dongzhi is a young general who has already accumulated military merits. He is the best candidate."
It's much better than those who forcefully push someone into power, right?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan's previously unpleasant expression finally softened. He sat down next to Meng Yanzhi, insisting on squeezing into the same chair with her, and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of curiosity: "How do you know all this?"
"That's all I know."
"I also know that next year will be a good year, and the world will be at peace. So Your Majesty, believe me, the bad days are about to be over!"
Meng Yanzhi smiled and leaned against Xiao Xingyuan.
"You will definitely be a very, very good emperor in the future. There will surely be peace and prosperity, and all the people of the world will be very grateful to you!" Meng Yanzhi said very seriously, even with a hint of anticipation for the future.
In her previous life, although she lived a painful life, she knew that they had a very wise emperor.
Unfortunately, Meng Yanzhi lived too short a life in her previous life, and there were many things she didn't know. The things she knew had already happened, and what would happen in the future was also unknown to Meng Yanzhi!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's expression, Xiao Xingyuan smiled and said gently, "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely work hard to be the good emperor you envision!"
"Your Majesty, you've already worked so hard." Meng Yanzhi smiled first, then felt a wave of nausea wash over her: "Ugh!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Xiao Xingyuan's smile froze instantly as he looked at Meng Yanzhi with some nervousness.
Meng Yanzhi felt nauseous and ran to the side to vomit.
Xiao Xingyuan was extremely anxious and hurriedly summoned the imperial physician to take his pulse.
After carefully taking her pulse, the imperial physician's expression was complex, and he whispered, "The Imperial Concubine's pulse seems to be... is..."
What can I say?
The entire Imperial Medical Academy knew that Xiao Xingyuan had no heir!
But, ironically, this... this is a pregnancy pulse!
Seeing the imperial physician's hesitant manner, Xiao Xingyuan's face turned very ugly. He kicked him and said irritably, "Hurry up and speak!"
"It's a pregnancy pulse! The Imperial Concubine is pregnant!"
The imperial physician steeled himself and chose to tell the truth.
Anyway, no matter what Meng Yanzhi did that she shouldn't have done, he, as the imperial physician, couldn't control it. But if he couldn't take her pulse properly, that was another matter.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Xiao Xingyuan himself didn't even realize that his throat was tight and his voice was trembling.
"Guards, summon the Imperial Preceptor!"
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief; at least he could save his life.
Meng Yanzhi subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, her face also full of astonishment.
Although she stopped taking medication early in this life, she never dared to hope that she would actually become a mother or have a child!
With tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Xingyuan with pleading eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm going to be a mother. I'm having a child. Is it true?"
"That's what the imperial physician said, but we still need the Grand Preceptor to take a look."
"Don't worry, don't rush."
Xiao Xingyuan said he didn't want Meng Yanzhi to worry, but in reality, he was more anxious than Meng Yanzhi.
He was born with a short life and no heirs, yet now he's going to have his own child?
Ling Xiao rushed over as quickly as possible, and after carefully taking Meng Yanzhi's pulse, he smiled and said, "You are indeed pregnant, and it's been more than two months. You didn't know your period had stopped coming?"
Meng Yanzhi blushed shyly, lowered her head, and whispered, "I've never cared about those things!"
"Very good!"
"I have a child! I'm going to be a father!"
Xiao Xingyuan suddenly screamed and paced back and forth on the ground with great joy.
"Quickly, quickly, summon all the best imperial physicians in the palace to ensure a safe pregnancy!"
"This child cannot be neglected in any way. You must ensure that this child is born safely. I want this child to be born safely!"
Xiao Xingyuan immediately waved his hand, and the entire palace knew the news. The first to arrive was Consort Liu.
"Rouge, it's true, you really are pregnant!"
Is it true?
Consort Liu plopped down next to Meng Yanzhi, grabbed her hand, and eagerly pressed her for answers.
