Xuanyuan Che planned to name his eldest daughter Princess Zhao'an and his eldest son Crown Prince. He did not consider whether he would have other children.
In this life, having a loved one and two children is a great blessing.
Because of the system, Tang Wan was actually in very good shape on the fourth day after giving birth. Not only was there no trace of childbirth on her body, but she also looked more mature and charming.
However, Xuanyuan Che followed the instructions of the Imperial Hospital and forced her to stay in confinement for two months. Tang Wan ate and slept every day, which made her grow a lot of soft flesh on her body. Xuanyuan Che loved to pinch and rub her when he had nothing to do and couldn't let go.
When the two children held their full-month banquet, Tang Wan also attended, bundled up tightly. Everyone wanted to see whether this rumored imperial concubine would lose her figure after giving birth to children, and whether His Majesty would still dote on her as before.
Although she gave birth to an heir, if she loses her beauty, His Majesty might take in more concubines. Then their daughters might be able to enter the harem and give birth to heirs of the royal family. Then, they would be the maternal grandparents of the princess and the prince.
However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny, and they are destined to be disappointed. Tang Wan wore a dress made for a noble concubine, and her figure was well-proportioned. Her skin was even more radiant than the last time she was in the palace. Her face had a more mature flavor, making her look even more stunning.
Xuanyuan Che took her hand and asked her to sit next to him, which showed how much he doted on Tang Wan.
When Xuanyuan Che announced at the full moon ceremony that he would confer the title of Princess Zhao'an on the eldest princess and the title of Crown Prince on the eldest prince, the expressions of the people at the banquet varied. Some turned pale, while others were so happy that they wanted to rush up to Xuanyuan Che, put their arms around his neck, and clink glasses with him.
King Ping's party felt powerless. It was over. They had chosen the wrong side. Their life was over. Yes, who would have thought that Xuanyuan Che, who was once rumored to be impotent, would suddenly have two children, twins, a boy and a girl. Wasn't this a blessing from heaven?
They didn't even have the chance to find an excuse and could only swallow their anger.
Just like the former prime minister's family, they have now disappeared and no trace of their former glory can be found.
Some smart people have already thought about resigning. After all, compared with all these glory and wealth, it is more important to save their lives first. After all, they have wives, children and elderly people at home. As long as they can keep their lives, there may be a chance to turn things around in the future.
Xuanyuan Che drank some wine and announced the news that he would confer Tang Wan the title of Imperial Noble Consort and the news that he would grant amnesty to the country. After all, many innocent people had been imprisoned in recent years due to slander and taking the blame.
For a time, people praised him as a virtuous and good monarch.
…………
A year later, Tang Wan went to the Imperial Household Department to see He Yi. At this time, He Yi had been tortured beyond recognition. He was put in a porcelain jar and exuded a foul odor.
Those people followed her instructions and did not give him any water or food on weekdays, so he ate other people's excrement. He wanted to die, but he couldn't.
His neck was tightly bound by an iron chain, a round ring with sharp spikes inside. If he lowered his head even slightly, his throat would be pierced. However, this was not enough to kill him; it would only make his life worse than death.
When he saw Tang Wan, he felt like he saw a savior: "Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort, please, please let me go."
Tang Wan asked the servants to leave and looked carefully at his deeply sunken face. She suddenly laughed, her body shaking with laughter, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.
Not many times have she been treated like this. It's always a tit-for-tat. He Yi, you owe me so many lives, and this is just the beginning.
She had laughed enough and stared at him with burning eyes: "You want me to let you go? Hmm?"
A gleam of hope shone on He Yi's face. "My Lady, you are so compassionate and merciful. You are the reincarnation of the goddess from heaven. Please let me go."
Tang Wan played with the warm jade tied around her waist and said, "You can let me go if you want. However, you have to pay a small price. Are you willing?"
He Yi wanted to be free so much that he nodded vigorously. He didn't care even though the sharp thorns pierced his throat. He had gone crazy and was eager to leave this cage. The torturous methods had already worn away his pride bit by bit.
"Okay, bite off your tongue and I'll let you go."
He didn't hesitate at all and hardened his heart. In an instant, hot tears flowed from his eyes and half of his bright red tongue was spat out. He didn't dare to speak again because his mouth was already full of blood.
He hadn't had any water for three days, so he gulped down the blood. He had suffered much worse torture than this, so he couldn't scream out now.
After he finished vomiting, he looked at her with hope in his eyes, but Tang Wan pinched her nose in disgust: "That's disgusting, who told you to vomit that?"
"Cool, cool, rest." He spoke incoherently because he had lost half of his tongue.
Tang Wan looked down at him with sharp eyes: "He Yi, stop dreaming. It's not that easy to leave."
His eyes suddenly widened. His name in this world was not He Yi at all. Who was she? Why did she know his real name?
Tang Wan saw his confusion and said, "You don't remember me? That's right. You did so many evil things in your past life that you probably forgot me a long time ago. But I will never forget you."
"Ah, ah." He Yi's eyes were filled with despair, and he could only sob and cry. Tang Wan smiled and walked a few steps inside the house: "Now, you are the useless loser, you can't even speak."
