The Queen Mother angrily ordered the palace maids to prepare the sedan chair and head towards the Imperial Garden.
Li Jiayue trotted to the empress dowager's sedan chair and carefully coaxed her.
Although the Queen Mother hated her for being incompetent, she was her niece after all. If her niece was embarrassed, it would also be a loss of face for her, so she acquiesced to her accompanying her.
This side of the Imperial Garden.
The imperial physicians had already taken the patient's pulse one by one and were holding a small meeting on the side.
Murong Yan looked anxious, and Dan Ruo kept comforting him, indicating that she was really fine.
Murong Yan frowned at the cautious look of the imperial physician. How could there be nothing wrong if the imperial physician was so cautious?
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Dan Ruo wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by Murong Yan.
Murong Yan looked at the Queen Mother with a calm expression:
"The Queen is unwell and cannot perform the ceremony. I hope your mother will understand."
Li Jiayue helped the Queen Mother get off the sedan chair and whispered:
"Aunt, Yue'er sees that the Queen's complexion is rosy and she doesn't look unwell."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said cryptically:
"I'm afraid it's because Yue'er is dissatisfied with you, Auntie. It's all Yue'er's fault for being so anxious to clear up her cousin's misunderstanding of you that she clumsily made the wrong move."
The Queen Mother knew the purpose of Li Jiayue's words, but now her son was looking cold towards her and was eagerly protecting that woman.
She felt like she was about to lose her son, and ultimately she was controlled by her own selfish desires. She knew that some of the words were inappropriate, but at this moment her emotions overcame her reason.
"The Queen looked okay, but she mobilized all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital. This is such a drastic move and overbearing. It's not the demeanor of a mother of a country. She should be more tolerant in the future."
Dan Ruo's face turned pale, and Murong Yan immediately became angry:
"I asked all the Imperial Hospital staff to come here. If my mother feels that I am unfit to be the emperor, you can just depose me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush and remind me to abdicate."
The implication is that if Danruo is not the queen, then he is not the emperor.
In his opinion, Danruo's husband's identity is more important than the throne.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fell over. This evil son was not as filial as before after getting married.
She directed her anger at the imperial physician:
"Tell me, what disease did the queen have?"
The Imperial Hospital did not dare to delay any longer. If they delayed any further, they would watch the Empress Dowager and the Emperor arguing about the Queen. Either the Empress Dowager or the Emperor could take their lives.
Dean Luo trotted and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not ill."
The Queen Mother was about to explode when she heard Doctor Luo say:
"The Empress has been pregnant for nearly a month, and her pulse is still weak, so I suggested that the Emperor call in all the imperial physicians for a consultation. The Imperial Hospital can now clearly confirm that the Empress is indeed pregnant. Congratulations to the Emperor on the birth of his heir."
Murong Yan was stunned and confirmed in disbelief:
"I have a child?"
The Queen Mother was also trembling with shock at the news, and she stared at Doctor Luo closely.
The Imperial Hospital knelt down collectively.
"Congratulations to the Emperor on the birth of his heir."
The palace maids also knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Congratulations to the Emperor on the birth of his heir."
Murong Yan had pinched himself just now and it really hurt. It seemed that all this was true. He hugged Dan Ruo happily.
His voice trembled: "We have a child."
Dan Ruo responded gently.
The Queen Mother wanted to step forward, but then she felt a little embarrassed when she remembered how she had just behaved towards the Queen, so she immediately raised her hand and slapped Li Jiayue.
"Bitch, how dare you sow discord between me and the Queen."
Li Jiayue covered her face with her hands and cried in grievance, but she was too scared to say anything.
Murong Yan came back to his senses, his eyes were wet. He took the handkerchief from Dan Ruo and took the opportunity to wipe his eyes.
I hurriedly asked Doctor Luo:
"How is the Queen? Will her anger affect her?"
Doctor Luo knew that the Queen was in good health, but what had just happened made him decide to side with the Emperor and the Queen.
So the queen was frightened and prescribed some medicine to maintain the pregnancy. The baby is still young, so she needs to pay more attention and not get angry in the future.
Murong Yan's cold gaze swept towards Li Jiayue, who grabbed the empress dowager's skirt in fear.
The quarrel between the Queen Mother and Murong Yan was over the issue of offspring.
But now the queen has a child. This is Murong Yan’s first child, and a legitimate one. He is the grandson she has been looking forward to for many years.
She lowered her head and pushed Li Jiayue away in disgust, saying:
"The daughter of the Minister of Rites has evil intentions. She offended me. She will be beaten with thirty sticks and expelled from the palace."
With the Empress Dowager's comment, Li Jiayue was beaten with a stick and driven out of the palace. She could never hold her head up in the circle again in her life.
Li Jiayue wanted to say something else, but the palace maids beside the Queen Mother had already covered her mouth and pulled her away.
After the Queen Mother dealt with Li Jiayue, she wanted to reconcile with Danruo, but she found that Murong Yan had already walked away with Danruo in his arms.
She stood there blankly. She wanted to chase after him but felt embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he decided to carefully select some gifts and have the palace servants deliver them to the Queen's palace.
Murong Yan was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He had already started thinking about naming his son and daughter, their education, and the criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
Dan Ruo was so sleepy that she kept yawning. Murong Yan stopped talking and accompanied Dan Ruo to sleep. When she woke up, the corners of her mouth were curved.
In the dream, there was a little girl as cute as Danruo who called him father in a soft and cute way.
At the morning court session, the ministers felt that the emperor was very different today than usual.
His tone was very happy and he seemed to be in a good mood.
