"Your Majesty, I'm fine. She didn't do anything to me. But you, are you okay? What she said...should we do something about it?"
Although we don't think much of your background, what if someone else uses it against you?"
Ying Xixi looked at Qiao Yuyuan worriedly.
Qiao Yuyuan touched Ying Xixi's hair and said, "It's okay. I guessed that she would jump out and threaten me, and I have already thought of a countermeasure.
Don't worry, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and examine you? I'm worried about you."
Ying Xixi shook her head, "No need, I'm fine, just... vomiting..."
Before she could finish her words, Ying Xixi covered her mouth and started vomiting.
Qiao Yuyuan was so frightened that he stood up and said, "Call the doctor! Quickly!"
After a period of chaos and war.
"Congratulations, His Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! You are pregnant!"
When the imperial physician announced the good news, Qiao Yuyuan was stunned for a moment and seemed not very happy.
Ying Xixi was still waiting for Qiao Yuyuan to burst into laughter after knowing the news.
But I didn't hear any laughter. When I looked up, I saw Qiao Yuyuan frowning and not looking happy at all.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant, and you also have a child. Are you unhappy?"
Pregnant woman Ying Xixi's emotions came quickly, and as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qiao Yuyuan quickly explained, "No, I'm happy, but I think that having three princes is enough for us. You had a very hard time giving birth, and it's enough to suffer the pain of childbirth once.
There is only one prince who can succeed the throne. We already have three princes, which is more than enough. There is no need to have so many children."
Ying Xixi was touched. She didn't expect Qiao Yuyuan to have such an idea.
But she wants to have a baby, she wants to earn points!
"Your Majesty, I am very touched that you think so, but I want to have children. I want to have many sons as handsome as Your Majesty and daughters as lovely as Your Majesty."
Qiao Yuyuan: “???”
He is handsome, yes, but he is cute...
It doesn't sound right.
"I don't need too many sons. A daughter as delicate and soft as you, Xixi, would be perfect!"
Just thinking about his sweet little girl, Qiao Yuyuan couldn't help but smile.
Ying Xixi, who had taken the twin pills, scratched her head.
"This baby is probably a son. If it's a daughter, we'll have another baby next time."
Ying Xixi's tone was too casual, as if she could control the gender of the child, which made Qiao Yuyuan confused.
"Xixi, do you know the gender of the baby?"
Ying Xixi came back to her senses and cleared her throat, "I don't know, maybe it's the mother-son bond. I'm just guessing, maybe I'm right."
Qiao Yuyuan nodded. "That's true. Mother and child are connected by heart. Maybe I can really guess the gender correctly."
As soon as the news of Queen Ying Xixi's pregnancy came out, the ministers temporarily gave up the idea of persuading the emperor to fill his harem.
This is because they were afraid that after persuading the emperor, they would really be beheaded.
Secondly, the child the queen is pregnant with this time is the emperor's, so the emperor can be considered to have a successor. In addition, the queen was pregnant with triplets last time, so this time she might be pregnant with twins or triplets.
If this is true, then they don't have to rush to persuade the emperor to take a concubine.
After the ministers figured it out, they no longer brought up topics that Qiao Yuyuan didn't want to hear in the court.
At the morning court session that day, after listening to the ministers' reports, Qiao Yuyuan's expression became serious, and he looked intimidating without being angry.
The ministers looked at each other and became a little nervous.
"My dear ministers, I have thought about many things recently and have decided to tell you the truth."
Qiao Yuyuan's opening words made the ministers' hearts skip a beat.
"My queen was once the late emperor's concubine. This is something everyone knows, but what everyone doesn't know is...
In fact, the three princes the Empress gave birth to are not the late Emperor's children, but mine."
Qiao Yuyuan's two sentences were like thunder, causing an uproar among the ministers.
For a moment, the ministers looked at Qiao Yuyuan with something strange in their eyes.
"I was declared dead by the late emperor, but a few years later I came back to life with my legs crippled. Don't you find it strange?
There is indeed a hidden secret. In fact, the late emperor knew that I was not dead, and in the years before my 'death', I was imprisoned in the palace by the late emperor! "
After Qiao Yuyuan dropped a piece of breaking news, he would pause for a while, giving the ministers enough time to digest the news.
"Everyone may be curious as to why the late emperor imprisoned me in the palace for no apparent reason.
Everyone should also know that in the years since the late emperor ascended the throne, no one in the harem became pregnant because the late emperor was born unable to have children.
The late emperor had already replaced the real will. If he could not have children after ascending the throne, he would definitely be criticized.
So he set his sights on me.
I was injured and fell into a coma a few years ago. When I woke up, I found myself imprisoned by the late emperor.
He asked me to sleep with the concubine on his behalf so that she would get pregnant, but I refused.
Later, the beautiful Ying appeared before me. I fell in love with her at first sight, and she became pregnant.
Ying couldn't bear to see me being imprisoned in the palace and living in darkness, so she helped me investigate some things.
It was also thanks to Ying that I found out that I was the heir designated by my father, and that my brother had actually replaced my father’s true will and took away everything that belonged to me!
After Ying found out about these things, she helped me look for the imperial edict that was hidden by the late emperor.
This is why all the things that happened before happened.
Originally, I did not intend to tell you, my dear ministers, about this matter. After all, it is a royal secret and is not glorious.
But I don't want the Queen to be implicated because of the late Emperor's immoral behavior, causing the Queen and my three children to be discussed and ridiculed by the world!"
Qiao Yuyuan's words really overturned the ministers' impression of Qiao Yulin, the emperor who had succeeded to the throne for several years.
Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that when this emperor was in power, none of the concubines in the harem became pregnant.
If it was because the concubines had health problems, there were so many beauties in the harem, it was impossible that so many of them had health problems, right?
The problem really lies with the emperor!
So, so, so, this is the truth!
When the ministers thought about it carefully, their discussions and complaints about Ying Xixi completely disappeared, and they became very grateful to her instead.
Because as Qiao Yuyuan said, it was Ying Xixi who saved him and helped him, which made him what he is today.
With Qiao Yuyuan's deliberate arrangement, his remarks in the court were spread inside and outside the palace, becoming known to almost everyone.
After Qiao Yuyuan's biological mother, Lin, was driven out of the palace by Qiao Yuyuan, she felt more and more aggrieved and unwilling to accept her fate.
