That day, knowing that the Queen Mother would invite Murong Yan over alone, Li Jiayue took advantage of the opportunity and hid in the Queen Mother's inner palace's guest room.
Murong Yan stepped into the hall, and the Queen Mother asked all the palace servants to leave.
He said earnestly:
"My son, it wasn't easy for us to ascend to the throne. Your brother was assassinated for the throne. We cannot give up the throne so easily."
"We had no way to adopt someone before, but now with God's blessing, everything has new hope. So you can't just take care of the queen alone."
"The Murong Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there has never been a precedent of a queen being the only one to take care of her. Moreover, you, the queen, have difficulty in having children."
"So I have selected some portraits of women. Pick the one you like and I will bring her into the palace."
Murong Yan's face was grim, but his expression was firm: "Mother, if there was no Queen, I would definitely not be here today."
"So no matter how difficult it is for her to have children or not, I will only choose her for my whole life."
"As for the offspring, you can adopt one as you originally planned. Raised by the Empress, she will surely nurture him with care. However, let's wait two years for adoption. The Empress is still young, and I want to give her a couple of years of peace."
Murong Yan originally wanted to tell the Queen Mother about Dan Ruo's special physique, hoping that a miracle would happen, but he didn't dare to tell her about the fact that there was no shadow.
Having given the Queen Mother hope and then continually disappointed her, she was afraid that she would be prejudiced against Danruo.
Meeting Danruo was already God's best favor to him.
If he could have a child, he would wake up smiling in his dreams.
If not, he would be content to have Danruo accompany him throughout his life.
Seeing Murong Yan's firm attitude, the Queen Mother begged with tears. Murong Yan knelt down in front of her and said frankly that he would obey her in everything except this matter.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she lost her mind and said bluntly that if the Crown Prince had sat on the throne first, he would never be as willful, disobedient and unfilial as he was.
Murong Yan's expression froze, and he stood up and left without saying a word.
The Queen Mother fell to the ground and looked at Murong Yan's back without even turning his head, full of disappointment.
Li Jiayue quietly came out of the hall, helped the Queen Mother up, and said gently with a caring tone:
"Aunt, the Emperor's cousin was only temporarily bewitched by the Empress. Over time, he will naturally understand your good intentions."
The Queen Mother no longer cared about Li Jiayue's situation in the palace at this time. She had found a place to vent her grievances.
Finally, Li Jiayue suggested that since the mother and son must not be allowed to lose their minds, he should go there with the tonic soup to persuade his cousin, the emperor.
The Queen Mother looked at her expectant eyes and understood her intention, but she was too embarrassed to go to the Emperor.
She regretted saying that last sentence. Now that her youngest son was in her arms, she couldn't say that he was not as good as the deceased crown prince.
After all, Murong Yan was not brought up according to the rules of the crown prince since he was a child. Instead, they were afraid that he would have the idea of competing for the throne, so they let him do whatever he wanted.
Since Li Jiayue wants to go, let her try and let me see her abilities.
Li Jiayue entered the imperial study for the first time in the name of the empress dowager. Seeing her cousin the emperor sitting alone in a daze, Li Jiayue felt that her good opportunity had come.
As soon as she put the food box on the table, Murong Yan asked her to leave.
She walked around the table and said that the Queen Mother was upset but still cared about the Emperor. As she opened the food box, she dropped the soup spoon in her panic.
She picked up the soup spoon from the ground, and her coat fell off as she pretended to sprain her ankle, letting Murong Yan pounce on her.
Danruo happened to hear Dehai telling her that Murong Yan had been sulking for a long time, so she dared to come over and ask him to persuade him.
As soon as I arrived, I saw this scene and turned away.
In fact, when Li Jiayue pounced on him, Murong Yan first thought about getting up and moving to the side, but he was afraid that Li Jiayue would still be able to touch him.
Then, in a flash, he thought of moving both himself and the chair back to prevent Li Jiayue from having any chance of touching him, so that she could not rely on him.
He saw Danruo leaving and hurried to chase after him.
Leaving behind was Li Jiayue, who fell to the ground and grimaced.
Dehai personally escorted her back to the Queen Mother's palace.
Dan Ruo walked quickly to the Imperial Garden. She felt very upset. During this period of time, she had developed a possessive desire for Murong Yan.
She picked up a stone from the lakeside and threw it into the water with all her strength, splashing layers of water.
Seeing her dejected reaction, Murong Yan was happy that she finally had him in her heart, but he was reluctant to let her hurt herself like this. Lin Cenyi specifically told him that little Tangyuan had a bad temper and cried until she was out of breath when she was a child just to eat candied haws.
Thinking of this, he quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician over.
Then he went up to Danruo and coaxed her gently, telling her what had just happened and asking her to check if there was any other person's smell on her body.
Seeing his serious expression and considering what the Samsara Pearl told her, Danruo already believed him, but she still wanted to go out and relax, so she said she wanted to go home.
Murong Yan immediately agreed and prepared to take Dan Ruo back to the Lin family.
At this time, the imperial physician hurried over, and Murong Yan asked him to take Dan Ruo's pulse.
Dan Ruo touched her belly and found two tender little seeds. She didn't know if the imperial physician could detect them now. She had originally planned to call the imperial physician to check after two days.
Doctor Luo is the newly promoted head of the Imperial Medical Service. After he took the pulse, although he had already made a decision in his mind, it would be better to make some preparations since it involved the royal heir. After all, the Queen's time is a bit short.
He stammered and asked the emperor to call everyone in the Imperial Hospital to take the queen's pulse.
Murong Yan was worried and notified everyone immediately.
The Queen Mother also heard the news. She learned from Dehai that Li Jiayue was not successful and was instead caught by the Queen.
Now the emperor has called on all the people in the Imperial Hospital to treat the queen together. This queen is too jealous and has a bad temper.
This was the first time she felt such strong dissatisfaction with the queen.
She wanted to go and see what serious problem the queen had that she was in when she paid her respects this morning.
