Chapter 22: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 22
"The slave is here"
Mo Liyuan tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment and said, "From now on, except for Concubine Yuan, no other concubines will be allowed to come to my study. This is where I handle government affairs. If anyone makes a noise, they will be confined immediately."
"Huh"
Ma De thought the emperor's order was natural. Now that Concubine Yuan was pregnant with the emperor's child, no concubine in the harem had the ability to do so.
Tianqi Kingdom
Regent Prince Leng Gongyun took the secret letter in his hand and read it through quickly.
His narrow eyes were slightly gloomy and his gaze was cold.
His face was pale and he even coughed a few times. It was obvious that he was not feeling well.
He threw the secret letter into the brazier with an expressionless face.
"Flying Eagle"
A cold voice sounded, and a man in black walked in from outside the door.
"My subordinates are here"
"Tell the emperor that I will be on a diplomatic mission to the Great Min Dynasty in a few days."
"yes"
Leng Gongyun narrowed his eyes and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mo Liyuan...you should repay the debt owed by your father.
Because she was less than three months pregnant, Qiao Jinjin's belly was not noticeable, but that did not hinder Mo Liyuan's love for her. Every day before going to bed, he would lie on her belly and listen to the sounds for a while. Even if there was no movement, he could still be happy for a while.
That day, Mo Liyuan listened to the sound for a while as usual, but afterwards he was not as happy as usual and seemed to be worried.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Liyuan paused while touching Qiao Jinjin's belly, then smiled and said, "I received a message from Tianqi today, saying that Tianqi Regent Prince is preparing to come to our Daming."
After a brief thought, Aunt Qiao knew that it was not a simple matter. "Does he have any problems?"
"Auntie, the people I sent out found out that the current Prime Minister had contacted the Regent Prince Tianqi before."
Aunt Qiao narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "I understand, then he really has a problem."
The problem is quite serious. If Prince Tianqi is really the Prime Minister's master, then he is her enemy.
"Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes were filled with confusion. "Auntie, the Regent of Tianqi hates me and the Great Min Dynasty very much."
"Huh?" Jinjin Qiao was very confused. No matter before her death in the previous life or after her rebirth in this life, she had never heard anyone mention the Regent King Tianqi.
"Why?"
Mo Liyuan lowered his eyes and said, "The Regent King Tianqi should be from our Great Min Dynasty. His father was the General of Zhenbei."
"At that time, the Min Dynasty and the Tianqi Kingdom were at war. The general Zhenbei, who was supposed to defend one side, fell in love with a female general of the Tianqi Kingdom."
Mo Liyuan paused when he said this.
Aunt Qiao looked at him eagerly, listening with fascination.
"It's just that the female general of Tianqi is loyal to Tianqi and is unwilling to betray Tianqi and join Damin."
When Qiao Jinjin heard this, she opened her mouth and said, "Could it be that this Zhenbei general betrayed Damin and joined the female general?"
Mo Liyuan touched Aunt Qiao's long hair lovingly and said, "Aunt Qiao is right."
"When the emperor found out, he was furious and ordered the pursuit and killing of the Zhenbei general."
Aunt Qiao shook her head regretfully. What a sad love story. "And then?"
"Until a year later, Da Min's killer assassinated him at the border of Tianqi. At that time, the female general of Tianqi was already pregnant."
"I heard the sad news that she gave birth to Leng Gongyun, now the Regent Prince Tianqi, prematurely."
Aunt Qiao sighed in her heart, feeling sorry for them, but they were generals from two different countries, and perhaps they themselves could guess the outcome.
"Leng Gongyun was able to rise from a general's orphan to the position of regent, which shows that he has great abilities."
Mo Liyuan nodded in agreement. "I once suspected that the current Prime Minister Qiao was a subordinate of the former Zhenbei General in disguise, but he was still unable to eliminate the Frightening Snake."
Qiao Jinjin sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Leng Gongyun hates the late emperor, but he may really transfer his hatred to you, Your Majesty."
"But the two countries are now in a period of peace, and we should still receive Leng Gongyun well."
Jin Jin Qiao knew in her heart that Leng Gongyun simply hated the late emperor and Mo Liyuan, otherwise she would not have wasted so many years just to kill Mo Liyuan and let a stranger Li Huaijiang ascend the throne.
"Tsk..."
After breakfast, Qiao Zhenzhen felt nauseous and vomited several times, which made Lian Yue, who was serving her, very worried.
"Madam, why don't you ask the court doctor to take a look?"
Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Go quickly and come back soon. This lady feels sick and nervous."
Lian Yue ran very fast and bumped into Li Huaijiang who was about to enter the door.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Li Huaijiang took a step back, frowning.
Lian Yue was almost thrown to the ground by Li Huaijiang, and quickly steadied herself and said, "Greetings to the young master. Madam is not feeling well today. I will go and call the palace doctor."
Li Huaijiang waved his hands impatiently, and looked worried when he returned to the house.
"Madam, Lian Yue said you were not convinced, what happened?"
When Qiao Zhenzhen saw Li Huaijiang, her eyes lit up for a moment. Li Huaijiang had been very busy recently and she hadn't seen him for several days.
"I feel a little nauseous. I think I ate something bad."
Li Huaijiang sat down next to Qiao Zhenzhen, pursed his lips and said, "I have been too busy recently and neglected you. When you feel better, I will accompany you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to relax."
"Really?" Qiao Zhenzhen was a little excited. She hadn't seen her father and mother for a month since she returned to her parents' home.
Li Huaijiang nodded and said, "How can your husband lie to you?"
Lian Yue walked quickly, and the court doctor arrived quickly as well.
Before the two of them had talked for long, Lian Yue came in with the court doctor.
Li Huaijiang quickly stood up and vacated his seat. "Doctor, please come and see what happened to Madam."
The court doctor was an old man in his fifties, with a long beard, narrow eyes, and a shrewd appearance.
He frowned the whole time he was taking Qiao Zhenzhen's pulse, and even changed hands once to continue taking the pulse.
Qiao Zhenzhen was getting a little impatient waiting. If Li Huaijiang hadn't been watching her, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.
After the doctor took the pulse, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Madam. Your pulse is like beads rolling on a plate. Madam, you have slippery pulse and it has been a month."
"What?"
"How come..."
Qiao Zhenzhen and Li Huaijiang exclaimed at the same time, but the former was an exclamation of excitement, while the latter was an exclamation of disbelief.
"Husband, we have a child now. The medicine you gave me is really effective."
Li Huaijiang pulled the corners of his mouth, he really didn't want to laugh, but Qiao Zhenzhen saw that he would have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion soon...
Carefully helping Qiao Zhenzhen sit down, "Madam, please stop being reckless. Be careful of the baby in your belly."
Qiao Zhenzhen stroked her belly, feeling very proud.
He raised his chin, looked at the court doctor in front of him and said, "Go down and receive your reward."
Originally the court physician was very happy, but when he saw Qiao Zhenzhen's alms-giving look, he felt disgusted.
"My dear, now that I am pregnant, let's put aside those unimportant things for now."
When Qiao Zhenzhen became pregnant, she immediately became very confident and her true nature was revealed when she spoke to Li Huaijiang.
