"Her Majesty! Her Majesty! Quick, the imperial physician, come and see what's wrong with the Queen!"
Emperor Qin Huan turned around when he heard the noise and just happened to see Bai Yuzhi falling into Yin Ting's arms.
"Come here, take Pei Sheng away and behead him tomorrow. These two bitches," Emperor Qin Huan said in a terrifyingly sinister voice, "burn them to the sky."
Burning a sky lantern is an extremely horrific punishment. It is Emperor Qin Huan's cruel revenge on Concubine Rong and the deposed Queen Su. The two of them set fire to Emperor Qin Huan's hopes, so Emperor Qin Huan wants them to taste the feeling of being swallowed by the flames.
Everyone took action. Emperor Qin Huan no longer looked at Su and Concubine Rong, and returned to Bai Yuzhi to watch the imperial physician take her pulse.
Su had fainted due to excessive blood loss and was only breathing her last breath. Concubine Rong was staring at Emperor Qin Huan's every move. She shouted that she had avenged the State of Yan and provoked Emperor Qin Huan with words.
"Hahahahahaha, no matter how tragically I die, your son will never come back. Now even your queen can't stand it anymore, you dog emperor, you deserve to be alone, you deserve to be cut off from all your relatives! What do you mean by the fate of the Emperor Star? You are just a star doomed to fail, hahahahaha!"
Concubine Rong now looks hideous, and the gentleness she pretended to be before is no longer visible. She is still afraid after all, and keeps talking to try to provoke Emperor Qin Huan to kill her with a sword, rather than dying tragically by being burned to death.
Emperor Qin Huan was indeed blood-thirsty and he drew his sword and stabbed at her. Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes, waiting to die. However, at the critical moment!
"Your Majesty! The Queen is pregnant, Your Majesty!"
"What did you say?!"
The moment the imperial physician said this, a huge uproar immediately ensued, as this rhetorical question came from two people at the same time.
One voice came from the surprised and resentful Concubine Rong, and the other voice came from Emperor Qin Huan.
Emperor Qin Huan had just recovered from his great grief and no longer had any hope for the child, but just when he was about to start a massacre, such good news suddenly came.
Even Emperor Qin Huan felt that this mixed feeling of sadness and joy might be because he simply couldn't accept Hu An's death and was hallucinating.
But the imperial physician grasped at straws, fearing that Emperor Qin Huan wouldn't believe him. "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my family's lives that the Empress is definitely pregnant! And it's already been two months!"
Emperor Qin Huan stared at the imperial physician with his hawk-like eyes, trying to determine whether he was lying. However, in such a matter of life and death, the imperial physician would never dare to joke with the lives of his entire family.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"
Rong Fei collapsed and said, "How is this possible! How is this possible!"
Emperor Qin Huan lifted Concubine Rong's chin with the tip of his sword and looked at the woman who had just been so aggressive and violent now she was in a state of mental collapse.
Concubine Rong could not accept such an outcome at all. The plan that she had planned and calculated several times at the cost of her life was once again shattered and failed because of the white jade!
"Your Majesty! This woman must be causing so much trouble because she's afraid she won't be able to withstand the punishment of being burned to death. She's hoping you'll finish her off with a single blow of your sword. Now that the Empress is pregnant again, Your Majesty, please stay calm and don't fall for her tricks!"
Wang Chonghai said carefully that he was absolutely loyal to Emperor Qin Huan and treated Hu An as his little master. If you think about it, the time Wang Chonghai spent playing with Hu An was probably comparable to that of Emperor Qin Huan and Bai Yuzhi, as they were also children he had watched grow up.
Now that Hu An disappeared in the fire, Wang Chonghai hated Concubine Rong to the core and did not want her to die so easily.
Emperor Qin Huan: "You are right. Of course I cannot let this bitch get what she wants. He Qingyuan, no, Yan Qingyuan, weren't you so proud just now? I am the emperor star destined by heaven. All your calculations have come to nothing. Just wait for your death."
After saying that, he threw away the Emperor's Sword and took the pretending unconscious Bai Yuzhi into his arms.
Concubine Rong widened her eyes. She could not accept such an outcome.
How could this be possible? She had clearly sent Zixing to cover the rockery in the imperial garden with safflower pollen. That stuff was made by a miracle doctor found by Duke Jin. The medicine was extremely potent. If an ordinary woman inhaled even a little bit of it, there would be no chance of her getting pregnant.
Could it be that the medicine has lost its effect?
But that's impossible. The genius doctor who made safflower pollen was the one who made the fake pregnancy pill. The fake pregnancy pill went undiscovered for three months. It was Lady Jiang's own fault that the matter was exposed. There is no way that there could be any problems with this safflower pollen now.
Why, why on earth!
Could it be that Emperor Qin Huan is really destined to be emperor?
No! She doesn't believe it!
Concubine Rong held on, unwilling to let it end like this. She said stubbornly, "What are you so proud of? A child conceived after being contaminated with safflower pollen will either be stillborn or disabled! Even if such a thing is born, it will never become a qualified monarch!"
As she spoke, Concubine Rong convinced herself.
"Yes, that's right. What good future can a child conceived like this have? Emperor Qin Huan, you say you were born from the Emperor Star and blessed by heaven? I think you are a joke."
Emperor Qin Huan narrowed his eyes, unable to conceal his murderous intent, but Concubine Rong wanted to lead Emperor Qin Huan to kill her, so she spoke without restraint.
"What, you want to kill me? Hahahaha, do you really think I'm afraid of you? What a bullshit Emperor Star, what that national teacher said is not true at all. Have you forgotten, isn't your short-lived son also an Emperor Star? Then why did he die? Hahahaha..."
Concubine Rong mentioned Hu'an again. Hu'an is the biggest pain in Emperor Qin Huan's heart now.
Emperor Qin Huan fought all his life and never had any regrets, but now, Emperor Qin Huan wished that time could go back. He would never be overconfident and fail to protect Hu An properly. What about killing Duke Jin Pei Sheng or Concubine Rong? Even if there was no evidence, why couldn't he make the decision on life and death in this world?
The only thing he did was to be feared by people all over the world and leave behind a bad reputation as a tyrant for future generations.
But Emperor Qin Huan didn't care about these things.
He didn't care about being a tyrant or not. He just wanted his Hu An to live safely. Even though Bai Yuzhi was pregnant with another child, it was not Hu An after all.
Thinking back on the past three years, he had nurtured and cared for Hu An as if he were his precious child, and the little Hu An was already able to help him with government affairs...Emperor Qin Huan was heartbroken.
Seeing Emperor Qin Huan immersed in painful memories, Rong Fei knew that her trick had worked, so she kept using words to poke Qin Huandi's pain points: "Why, are you thinking of your unfortunate eldest son? Yes, he was the crown prince, the emperor star that the national teacher talked about. He died just like that. Are you very sad?"
"It's right to be heartbroken! You've lost this son. Even if Bai Yuzhi gave birth to a deformed bastard, what can you do? Hahahaha!"
Amidst Rong Fei's wild laughter, a voice suddenly came from a blind spot behind the Zichen Palace, close to the imperial study, which was ignored by everyone.
"How dare you! Who dares to curse our Crown Prince?"
