Chapter 22: Concubine Shu is pregnant, Chuchu is not the only child

Perhaps, the General's Office will not be implicated.

The general's mansion was now in chaos, and the servants who had received the news were packing their bags and preparing to leave.

There were also concubines fleeing in all directions.

Lei Ning looked at the chaotic scene with cold eyes. Only a few people were not panicking, but walked up to him and served him.

For example, the one in front of me is a stranger.

But that won’t be the case anymore.

"Why don't you run?"

The servant knelt down and said: "I was saved from the battlefield by the general. This life belongs to the general."

Some people also said: "We fled to the capital during the famine. The general took us in and gave us food to eat and a house to live in. I cannot abandon the general and run away."

Lei Ning couldn't remember at all, because he had saved so many people.

But the only people who know about grace are those around him.

Very good, through this opportunity, it is clear who the loyal servant is.

"General!" At this time, Aunt Gui appeared at the door, with Lei Nian'er beside her.

He was surprised and happy. Lei Ning knew that Nian'er would not abandon her father and escape alone, but he did not expect that Aunt Gui would also stay.

"Why are you here?"

Lei Nian'er was dragged in: "Mother said something happened, and then said that we are a family, and we want to die together even if we die."

Then Aye was moved to tears by her words and hugged A Niang affectionately for the first time.

He just kept repeating incoherently: "Good...good, good, good. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

wife?

Lei Nian'er smiled sweetly.

Every time Lei Nan'er had the servants hold her down to prevent her from struggling, and then punched and kicked her, the phrase she said most often was: "My mother is my wife, and your aunt is my concubine. So you will be under my feet for the rest of your life."

Lei Ning looked at his daughter, and was deeply moved, especially when he thought of what the princess said, that Nian'er would find ways to avenge him after his death.

At this time, Lei Naner's voice came over with a crying tone: "Aye~"

General Lei let go of Aunt Gui and looked towards the door.

"Nan'er?"

Lei Naner came over with red eyes and stretched out her hands to hug him: "My mother is gone, I only have my father."

General Lei's brows softened, and he reached out and picked her up, shaking her: "Nan'er, be good, we still have Aye, and Aye will always protect you."

Hearing this, Lei Nian'er lowered her gloomy eyelashes and restrained the question that was about to come out of her mouth: "What about me? When I was bullied, what did you do as a father?"

Bei Jingchu was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by a loud system notification sound.

[The mission is completed, your points have been credited.]

Hmm? What? That's it?

Life is so happy that you can get points just by lying down.

Bei Jingchu immediately clicked on the intelligence symbol and placed an order to enlighten her little brain.

Maybe after using a few more of them, she can become a female strategist who is so wise that she is almost a demon.

Ah~ Just thinking about it makes me feel so handsome.

Bei Jingchu was getting more and more excited thinking about how she would be in charge of the future, and now she couldn't sleep.

I turned my head to look around, and saw the imperial concubine kneeling below.

Her lips were pale, as if all the life had been drained out of her.

"Your Majesty has already found out that I had an affair with Prince Lu. I have no excuse and I only ask for death. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my mother's family for the sake of the deceased little prince."

“Yes.”

At this time, a young eunuch came in with a happy face and whispered a few words to Eunuch Jiang, who then put on a smiling face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. This is great news. The imperial physician just checked her pulse and found that Concubine Shu is pregnant."

The imperial concubine paused in her departure, but the ups and downs in the harem had nothing to do with her anymore.

The emperor laughed out loud in surprise when he heard this.

Bei Jingchu was also happy, clapping her hands: [Great, great, finally I have a second child, the emperor no longer has to worry about me being a child.]

The emperor was speechless. What a heartless boy! He even despised his father, the troublemaker.

If he hadn't been taking care of her all the time, would her life have been so comfortable?

There was a joyful atmosphere in Concubine Shu's bedroom. She sat on a chair and carefully protected her belly.

"I wonder if this child will be as favored as the eldest princess?"

The maidservant replied proudly, "The master's baby might be a prince. Even if the eldest princess is favored, she is still just a princess. The emperor will certainly favor us more."

"But the eldest princess is being raised by His Majesty himself. How can other children surpass her in favor?"

The court attendant did not take it seriously and advised: "The eldest princess was personally raised by your majesty because she lost her biological mother at a young age. Her biological mother was just a commoner in the cold palace who was hated by your majesty, even lower than the lowest palace maid.

How can it be compared to our little master? He was born from your belly. The emperor loves his wife and his family, so of course he will love our little master more."

Shufei thought what he said was true, and she placed her hand on her belly with a loving look in her eyes.

"This is my child. I like both boys and girls. I just want him to grow up safely."

Soon rewards came like water, and Concubine Shu felt even happier.

A young palace maid came in and said as she bowed, "My lord, someone from Xuanshi Palace has sent a message saying that His Majesty will be here soon, so we should prepare to receive him."

Concubine Shu smiled and ordered, "Hurry up and prepare some tea, fruit and food. His Majesty hasn't come for more than half a month, so you must cherish this time."

The palace maid also agreed: "Look, His Majesty cares so much about our young master. As soon as he heard that she was pregnant, he took time out to come. Is the master afraid that he can't compare with the eldest princess? But now she is the only heir to the throne. When there are many children, she will be nothing."

"My master is now pregnant with a dragon heir. Are you still worried that you won't be able to see His Majesty more often?"

Counting the time, Concubine Shu stood in the corridor waiting. A dark figure approached from afar. She bent her knees slightly and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The strange thing is that even though His Majesty said "quickly stand up", he did not quickly come up to help her up like he did last time when she was pregnant.

She stood up, and the dark-colored man came forward. When Concubine Shu was about to pull the emperor to show some tenderness, she saw the child with big, gleaming eyes in his arms.

Concubine Shu: ...Okay, she understands that you can’t walk fast while holding the child for fear of him falling.

But why do I have to bring my child with me when I come to see her?

Concubine Shu curled her lips and said, "The princess is only one month old. Although she is swaddled thickly, the weather is getting colder. Your Majesty is taking the princess out like this. Aren't you afraid that the child will get sick and catch a cold?"

Speaking of this emperor, I want to support his forehead.

He didn't want to take her with him, but if he didn't take her to play, the little girl would cry and make a fuss, and he couldn't comfort her no matter what he did.

If he couldn't hear her inner voice, the emperor would just let her cry, but he could still understand what she was saying.

Since the child was already taken care of, Concubine Shu had no choice but to welcome Bei Jingchu and His Majesty in together, and then serve tea to the Emperor.
