Chapter 16: The Tyrant Who Has No Heirs: Pregnancy



"Xingyi Banquet"

It was noon at this time, and Emperor Shengwu felt that Bei Lingyao didn't want to get up early to exercise, so he decided to eat more.

Bei Lingyao had no idea what he was thinking, and she was feeling a little hungry at the moment.

As soon as the food came, the emperor and his concubine started eating.

It’s just that Emperor Shengwu fed more of it.

"Mutton and ginseng soup is the most nourishing, my beloved..."

"vomit"

Bei Lingyao was eating well, but when a bowl of mutton soup was placed in front of her, she felt nauseous at the smell.

Emperor Shengwu's expression changed drastically, "Xing Yi summons the imperial physician."

Xing Yi, who was guarding outside the door, also changed his expression and quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

Emperor Shengwu and Xing Yi both thought that something had been added to the mutton soup and Bei Lingyao was poisoned.

"Ahem, I'm fine."

Bei Lingyao's eyes were filled with tears. She wiped the corners of her mouth and quickly turned away from Emperor Shengwu's face, "Your Majesty, don't look at me."

Emperor Shengwu picked up Bei Lingyao and carried her away from the dining table, placing her on the chaise longue.

"I am really fine."

But Emperor Shengwu didn't believe it. He held Bei Lingyao's pulse with his hand and frowned all the time.

As the saying goes, "long illness makes one a doctor", Emperor Shengwu has some medical skills.

I just feel that Bei Lingyao's pulse is not right.

When Xing Yi came in with three imperial doctors, Emperor Shengwu's face was gloomy and his brows were twisted into a "川" shape.

"Quickly check Beifei's pulse."

The old doctor in charge stepped forward tremblingly and took the patient's pulse through a silk handkerchief, but did not move for a long time.

When Emperor Shengwu's patience was about to run out, the old doctor fell to his knees with a thud.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Bei is pregnant."

Sheng Diwu’s first reaction was to wonder if the diagnosis was wrong.

"You two come forward and take my pulse."

Emperor Shengwu held his breath. Although he dreamed of having his own children, he felt it was impossible.

He wondered if the old doctor was too old, dizzy, or deaf, and had misdiagnosed his pulse, leaving him feeling disappointed.

Another imperial physician came forward and examined both hands for a long time. "The pulse is smooth and flowing, like a rolling ball. It's a pregnancy pulse. The baby is full term."

After the third imperial physician felt the emperor's pulse, he also said joyfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Bei is indeed pregnant, and the baby is full term."

Several imperial physicians were in disbelief. As the emperor Shengwu's most trusted imperial physicians, they were responsible for detoxifying the emperor.

They knew that Emperor Shengwu was impotent.

They also knew that Emperor Shengwu was infertile.

I always thought that Emperor Shengwu would not have any descendants in this lifetime.

However, he did not expect that after Concubine Bei entered the palace, everything would be fine for Emperor Shengwu.

"Empress Bei is the Emperor's lucky star."

Xing Yi and Nanny Sun were also overjoyed that the emperor finally had a queen.

Emperor Shengwu was also extremely excited, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I will leave Concubine Bei's baby to you. If mother and child are safe, I will not treat you unfairly. Otherwise, I will let your entire family be buried with you."

"Your Majesty obeys your command."

"I obey your command."

When only the emperor and his empress were left in the room, Emperor Shengwu could hardly contain his excitement.

"Your Majesty, don't you doubt me?"

Bei Lingyao looked at Emperor Shengwu curiously.

[Host, are you stupid?] Is that something you can ask?

Even if I don't ask, won't others be suspicious? She's pregnant just a month after entering the palace. Rather than waiting for others to throw mud at her and make Emperor Shengwu suspicious, why not let me dispel his suspicions?

"Ha ha"

Emperor Shengwu laughed, "Yao'er, you don't know. Nanny Sun and Xing Yi both know medical skills. I've also learned a little bit. I just took Yao'er's pulse, but I didn't know it was a slippery pulse."

Bei Lingyao felt relieved after hearing this. No wonder Emperor Shengwu arranged for Nanny Sun to go to the Bei family before she entered the palace.

Moreover, almost all the people around her are Emperor Shengwu's men, so it is impossible for her to hide the truth and steal someone away.

Thinking of this, Bei Lingyao felt relieved.

Although she knew that she was pregnant with Emperor Shengwu's child, Emperor Shengwu was poisoned and was deemed to have no heirs. Once the news of her pregnancy spread, others would definitely spread rumors.

As long as Emperor Shengwu believes in her, it will be fine.

She chose to get pregnant so quickly because, firstly, she was afraid that Emperor Shengwu would adopt a son from the royal family, secondly, that Emperor Shengwu would not live past forty, and thirdly, because of the incident of Emperor Shengwu being poisoned.

"I also want to learn medicine. Your Majesty, please teach me."

Emperor Shengwu agreed to Bei Lingyao's request without hesitation.

No one knows the horror of poison better than Emperor Shengwu, who has been invaded by various poisons since childhood.

After ascending the throne, he has been strictly enforcing the law against drugs, but it is difficult to prevent them.

Studying medicine is very necessary, and he would read a medical book whenever he had time.

After Emperor Shengwu agreed, various medical books were moved into the Yufu Palace.

In the afternoon, the families of the ladies who came to the palace to attend the banquet entered the palace one after another, but the families of the concubines could enter the palace in advance.

"Is the Queen Mother still confined to the palace?"

"My Lady, yes."

Bei Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if the Queen Mother didn't come out.

"Your Majesty, the Madam has entered the palace."

Zhihua's joyful voice came in.

Bei Lingyao stood up immediately. Nanny Sun said, "I will go and fetch Censor Bei's wife on behalf of the Empress."

Bei Lingyao had no choice but to wait.

After a while, Ling came in with her two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your humble servant."

"No need for formalities"

Bei Lingyao stepped forward to support Ling, "Mother, there's no need to be so polite. My two sisters-in-law, please stand up."

“Rules cannot be abolished”

Ling also heard outside the palace how favored her daughter was, and because the emperor gave her a concubine, Ling was ostracized by many noble ladies.

However, since it is not their circle, Ling will not force them to integrate.

Ling looked at her daughter, who was like a rich and delicate flower. Her complexion was rosy and her eyes were bright and sparkling. She knew that her daughter was living well in the palace.

"Don't worry, mother. The emperor treats his daughter very well. Please sit down. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law should also sit down. There is no need to be restrained since there are no outsiders here."
