"Yier!"
When Xiao Chengyou returned home, he saw Xu Lingyi leaning on the bed with a bowl of medicine in her hand. The room was filled with the smell of medicine.
Xu Lingyi could see the sweat on his forehead and guessed that he had hurried back to the mansion.
"Your Highness, I'm fine. I was just a little scared just now. I'm really fine."
"What does the doctor say?"
Xu Lingyi held his hand. "The doctor said it was nothing, Your Highness. It's all my fault for being so timid... I disturbed Your Highness."
Xiao Chengyou held her hand and stared at her face repeatedly. He was obviously still worried.
"Has the imperial physician arrived?" Xiao Chengyou asked the attendant again with a very cold expression.
"Your Highness, the imperial physician has just arrived."
"Let the doctor in quickly!"
————
"Your Highness, rest assured. The Queen has always been in good health. The abdominal pain is probably caused by shock. It's nothing serious."
Xiao Chengyou finally let go of his worries and felt a little relieved. The most important things to him were Xu Lingyi, the baby in her womb, and his mother.
"Everyone, please step back."
When they were the only two in the room, Xiao Chengyou took a deep breath and hugged Xu Lingyi tightly.
"I was terrified when I heard you were assassinated. Fortunately, you are okay."
There was a strong sense of relief in Xiao Chengyou's words. He simply could not accept losing her and the child. At the same time, he once again realized how important Xu Lingyi was to him. He could not live without her.
"Your Highness, today was just an accident, don't worry."
In fact, Xu Lingyi originally wanted to keep Xu Baozhu alive, even if it meant to torture her slowly.
But when I saw Xu Baozhu today, I saw the crazy hatred in her eyes.
She changed her mind.
Her life and that of her child are much more precious than Xu Baozhu's.
It’s better to kill her directly to avoid any hidden dangers.
Since the emperor did not kill Xu Baozhu and Princess Zhenyang, she could not take action directly.
Today Xu Baozhu came to the door on her own initiative, and the emperor must have known about this.
For the safety of her and her unborn child, Xu Baozhu and Princess Zhenyang would not be able to survive.
Sure enough, that night, Xu Lingyi learned that Xu Baozhu and Princess Zhenyang were both sentenced to death.
"They deserved to die, Yier, don't worry about it." Xiao Chengyou raised his thin lips in a cold smile, and his eyes were like a cold blade.
He reached out and touched Xu Lingyi's belly: "This child may be my only child. If she dares to assassinate you, my father will never let her live."
Even if the emperor let Xu Baozhu and the others go, Xiao Chengyou would not let them go.
Xu Lingyi nodded, "Your Highness, I will not be too kind."
"But why do you think you will only have one child?"
"The imperial physician took my pulse and confirmed that I'm quite poisoned. Even though you, Yi'er, are very likely to get pregnant, with someone like me, I think it will be difficult for us to have children."
"But Your Highness and I only had that one time, and after that I became pregnant..."
It is obvious that she can still continue to be pregnant. I don’t know why Xiao Chengyou is so unconfident.
Perhaps the emperor and empress thought so too?
"The imperial physician said that last time might have been a fluke."
Xiao Chengyou held her hand and asked, "Does Yier like children?"
Xiao Chengyou noticed that she seemed a little lost.
Xu Lingyi nodded.
"I'm sorry, Yi'er."
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "I only like Your Highness, and I only want to bear children for you. You haven't wronged me. Besides, what the imperial physician says may not be right."
"Maybe I can give birth to many children for you in the future."
Xiao Chengyou smiled and nodded, but he didn't dare to hope for anything in his heart.
When Xu Lingyi became pregnant with this child, he and the emperor and empress felt only endless relief and did not dare to think too much about it.
Because the queen's health is getting better, the emperor held a grand birthday celebration today.
When Xiao Chengyou took Xu Lingyi to the banquet, many young ladies from official families looked at them.
Xu Lingyi could understand the reason. Recently, many families in Beijing had held banquets and all of them had sent invitations to her.
Not only has Xiao Chengyou regained his status as the crown prince, but she is also pregnant.
These ministers all believed that Xiao Chengyou could have children, and the rumor that the prince was infertile was just an excuse for the emperor to depose the prince.
The emperor will definitely not explain, it will be bad for Xiao Chengyou's reputation
The ministers all misunderstood, and those who had daughters wanted to send them to the prince's palace.
Because it is obvious to the naked eye that Xiao Chengyou will be the emperor.
Now that she has entered the Prince's Mansion, when Xiao Chengyou ascends the throne in the future, she will at least be a concubine when she enters the palace.
In addition, Xu Lingyi, the Crown Princess, had her family punished and had no one to rely on except the child in her womb.
With her frail body, she might not be able to survive the ordeal of childbirth.
If she died, the position of Crown Princess would be vacant.
With such secret expectations, many ministers began to persuade the emperor to take a concubine for the prince.
But without exception, Xiao Chengyou rejected them all.
The emperor originally wanted to comply with the wishes of these ministers.
In his opinion, as Xiao Chengyou becomes emperor in the future, it is inevitable that he will have three thousand concubines in his harem.
But Xiao Chengyou was a lovesick man, and he also took into consideration that Xu Lingyi was pregnant with his precious grandson.
The emperor no longer insisted.
But today's banquet allowed many people to seize the opportunity again.
As soon as Xiao Chengyou got up to go to the bathroom, Xu Lingyi noticed that some people also left.
She touched her belly, pretended not to know, and ate the food on the plate in silence.
"Your Highness, His Highness hasn't returned for a long time. You must go and see him."
The attendant beside the prince reminded him.
This person has been with Xiao Chengyou since he was a child.
When Xiao Chengyou was deposed, this man was also exiled. He was transferred back recently when Xiao Chengyou was reinstated.
