Extra Chapter 42: The Emperor Without an Heir
Ever since the Qian Xiurong incident, few people have stepped into Tu Qingyu's palace.
Whether it was the people in the palace or the royal family, they all became much more honest.
Tu Qingyu lived in and out of the palace like this, playing mahjong with the imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine and others.
Liao Dong'er was originally innocent. The next day after that day, she was given some silver and sent out of the palace.
One early morning a few months later, she grabbed Li Yuanqi's arm and began to cry out in pain.
"It hurts... I, I feel like I'm about to give birth..."
Li Yuanqi's heart tightened, and then he jumped up and skillfully carried her to the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.
"Someone come! Concubine Shu is about to give birth, call the imperial physician!"
The midwife and the imperial physician were already prepared. The midwife lived in a small room outside the delivery room in the side hall, and the imperial physician was waiting in the courtyard of the palace next to the Changsheng Palace, so that they could come over immediately if Tu Qingyu was ready.
Tu Qingyu calculated the time well. He started howling at three in the morning and continued for two and a half hours. Around five thirty in the morning, the sky was bright and the loud cry of a baby was heard in Changsheng Palace.
Half a minute later, the second cry was heard. After the two children were born, the sky was filled with colorful clouds and magpies circled over the Changsheng Palace for a long time.
"Where's the queen? How is the queen?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is in good health and is fine. She is just a little tired after giving birth to the prince and princess, and has fallen asleep."
"I'll go in and take a look."
He had been reading medical books on the subject for the past few months and had long known that childbirth for women was as dangerous as walking through the gates of hell.
He really couldn't feel at ease unless he saw with his own eyes that Tu Qingyu was fine.
"Your Majesty, the delivery room..."
Before the nanny could finish her words, Li Yuanqi had already gone in.
He felt relieved when he saw Tu Qingyu sleeping soundly.
At this time, the nanny came over holding the two children, and Lu Bao led them to kneel down:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This auspicious omen of dragon and phoenix will surely protect our dynasty for generations to come."
"Okay, rewards! The people of Changsheng Palace will receive two years' worth of monthly salary, and everyone in the palace will receive one year's worth of salary!"
It didn't take long before everyone in the capital knew that Concubine Shu had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and that the children were born with auspicious signs.
Before Tu Qingyu woke up, the imperial edict to confer the title of empress and grant amnesty had already been issued.
This time, Li Yuanqi did not summon anyone from the royal family to discuss the matter. He only summoned his trusted ministers. The ministers only learned the news after the imperial edict was issued.
Before Tu Qingyu gave birth, Li Yuanqi repeatedly wanted to make Tu Qingyu the queen, and each time it triggered heated discussions.
The royal family and nearly half of the ministers were opposed.
After arguing for a long time, they finally gave in and decided to stop objecting as long as Tu Qingyu gave birth to a prince.
Now it is not the prince's business anymore. This is a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, born with good fortune. Who dares to stand up and refute them?
At this time, everyone recalled what the emperor said when he insisted on bringing Tu Qingyu back to the palace.
The daughter of destiny protects the country and the people.
Your Majesty has been childless for a long time, and she gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, right after she arrived. Isn't this a blessing for the country?
"Twins? She actually gave birth to twins?" In Prince Jing's Mansion, Meng Tian slammed the cup in her hand when she heard the news.
Tu Qingyu gave birth to twins, so wouldn’t it be even more impossible for her to become the empress dowager?
She was in too much of a rush when upgrading her loan points with the system, and later she found out that the repayment period was ten years.
In other words, if she doesn't pay back the 100,000 points in ten years, she will be wiped out by the system.
But now, let alone repaying the loan, she even has difficulty maintaining the daily system halo, so how can she possibly repay it?
Now that Tu Qingyu has given birth to twins and Li Yuanqi's throne is secure, it is impossible for him to adopt someone else's child.
Even if she was adopted, she is just Li Changheng's concubine now, unless Li Changheng does not have a principal wife. No, that's not right. If Li Changheng does not have a principal wife, her children will always be illegitimate children.
Li Changheng should have had a wife, the kind who died not long after getting married.
As soon as the wife dies, she will become pregnant and give birth to a child. The child will then be registered under the wife's name, and her child will still be the legitimate son.
As long as she could find a way to kill Tu Qingyu's children, her children would still have a chance to be brought into the palace, and then she would still have a chance to ascend to the most glorious position.
Thinking of this, she stood up and walked out, "Where is the prince?"
"Madam, the prince is in the study discussing matters."
Since she got married, she did not allow the servants to call her aunt. It was actually not allowed for a concubine to be called Madam.
But she was not happy about it, and even felt that being called Madam was unfair to her, and that she should be called the Crown Prince's Consort.
Li Changheng still wanted what she had in her hand, so he would naturally agree to her request. Anyway, she couldn't leave the backyard.
As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by someone, "Madam, the prince is in a meeting and has ordered that he not see anyone."
"I don't see you either?" She pointed at herself and frowned.
The attendant said: "Yes, anyone, I am following orders, and I hope the young lady will not embarrass me."
She was so angry that she couldn't help but want to rush in when she thought about Li Changheng's hot and cold attitude recently.
"Go away! Can you stop me?!"
"Madam, please don't embarrass me, madam!"
"roll!"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, the door of the study was opened. Li Changheng stood on the steps and looked at the furious Meng Tian, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
