"I'll find another brothel girl with a good appearance. This time, I don't want a virgin. I want one who is in the early stages of sexual intercourse. I'll give her to Gu Jingyan. If he can escape this time, fine. If not, he will get the punishment he deserves.
Having offended Xu Zhiyi before, he had already given Gu Jingyan a lot of face by doing this.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Zhiyi's second pregnancy began to show again.
The queen had been living in turmoil these days. One day, after lunch, she had an idea.
He asked everyone to step back, leaned over and said a few words to the nanny beside him, who opened her eyes wide.
Then he started to get someone to do it.
The Suiyuxuan was not like the ordinary concubines' rooms where incense needed to be burned.
Xu Zhiyi was so used to the smell of his own body that he no longer had an incense burner in the house.
Every day, they would just put the washed and dried clothes on the incense burner and burn the spices provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
She likes the scent of orchid the most and uses orchid scent every day. It is the most quiet and elegant and will not affect her body odor.
The queen sent people to put these incenses down. This secret spice is colorless and odorless, and its smell will only change slightly when it is burned.
Even with a drug test, it is difficult to detect it. This is a process that accumulates slowly, and after a few months, the fetus may die in the womb.
It just so happened that after Xu Zhiyi became pregnant, her nose became more sensitive.
When I changed my clothes that day, I felt that the smell of the incense had changed a little, so I asked Qinglu:
"This incense has changed? It doesn't smell as good as before."
After saying that, he frowned.
Qinglu's heart trembled when she saw this. This was her master's man, and he looked so handsome even when he frowned. How could she dare to delay?
He hurriedly found a piece of clothing that had not been fumigated with perfume and helped Xu Zhiyi change into it.
She went to the Imperial Household Department and brought back a batch herself. She smelled the two and found that there was indeed no difference.
While the experiment was going on, Xu Zhiyi came over to take a look and knew the difference just by smelling it.
The difference is indeed not that big, but Qinglu dare not make any mistakes.
I still remember vividly the last time something almost happened in the delivery room.
He immediately gave the two different kinds of incense to Doctor Wang, who took them very seriously.
Anyone who goes against Xu Zhiyi is going against his wealth and glory.
He immediately sat down and began to study it. After two days of sleepless nights, he finally found the problem.
Without daring to delay, he sent someone to find the emperor. The emperor was furious and handed the matter over to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan immediately began to research people around the queen who knew pharmacology.
This investigation actually allowed him to find out something.
The next day, he led his men to surround the Queen's Fengyi Palace. The Queen was still painting when she heard the noise outside. She came out and found herself surrounded.
"How dare you! Don't you want to live?"
"I am also following the Emperor's orders. I hope the Empress will forgive me."
If Lord Lu didn't reply, he, as a young eunuch, would have to reply for him. He wiped the sweat from his face and didn't understand why Lord Lu made such a big fuss. If nothing was found, they would be doomed.
When the queen saw them searching, she began to panic and tried to stop them, but no one listened.
Their own people have been controlled by the people brought by Lu Yan.
After a while, Lu Yan found what he wanted and left with it.
Lu Yan submitted all the witnesses and evidence to the emperor.
The emperor then sent the queen to the cold palace on the charge of plotting to murder her offspring.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Zhiyi gave birth to another pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
This couple is also very cute. This time, the old emperor directly promoted Xu Zhiyi to queen and gave titles to the children.
Two years later, Xu Zhiyi gave birth to triplets.
The whole country was shocked. This time it was two sons and a daughter.
The emperor was even more satisfied.
He finally had so many biological sons of his own. He was very angry when he thought about how all the civil and military officials in the court had advised him to adopt sons a few years ago.
Lu Yan looked at his sons and daughters and felt very happy.
In recent years, whether it was study or entertainment, he always helped them arrange it carefully and considerately.
Especially the second princess, she is the first treasure in his hand.
The old emperor named his later children himself, which was a disguised way of naming his own children.
However, the emperor was quite concerned about the little prince. Before he was two years old, he invited an enlightenment teacher to teach him and answer his questions.
Even at a young age, the prince was considered intelligent and studious. By the time he was six years old, he had become a calm and knowledgeable young boy.
The Queen Mother held on for a few years after having grandchildren, but she eventually died.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Yan asked the alchemist to increase the dosage of the pills.
Finally one day, the emperor died when the prince was seven years old.
That night, the emperor had just finished taking the pill and was in high spirits. He called a few palace maids to play "Eagle Catches Chicken" together, blindfolding them and playing with them to catch chickens.
······
The eunuchs waiting outside heard the screams from inside and rushed in, but it was too late. The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.
I couldn't even moan.
Lu Yan got the news first, stepped forward and put the emperor on the dragon bed.
Order the eunuch to call the imperial physician.
The eunuch crawled to summon the imperial physician.
He leaned over to the emperor's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Do you remember your eldest brother? Your nephew will help you manage the entire court. The prince is also my son."
When the emperor heard this, he stared at him in disbelief. He wanted to shout out something, but no sound came out, especially under Lu Yan's cold gaze.
He died with his eyes open, unable to catch his breath.
When the imperial physician arrived, it was already too late to save the patient.
When Xu Zhiyi arrived, he saw the palace maid shivering beside him, and the emperor whose body was beginning to get cold. The seven children also arrived one after another.
The three youngest did not understand the meaning of death. When they saw their father lying on the dragon bed, they thought he was sleeping.
The prince already understood that death meant they would never meet again.
He is going to be the new generation of king.
Xu Zhiyi looked down at the prince. His eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Lu Yan's. If the emperor didn't die, if they were discovered one day by the emperor, she and her seven children would be the ones to die.
She noticed something and looked at Lu Yan from afar across the crowd.
He just glanced at it briefly and then looked away.
After the emperor died, the princes, princesses and concubines all knelt outside the Qinzheng Hall as required.
According to the ancestral system, concubines without children had to be buried with the emperor. For a moment, the sound of crying outside was very loud. It was unclear whether they were crying for themselves or for the emperor.
Xu Zhiyi did not order the death of the palace maids who played games with the emperor during the day, but let them continue to work as palace maids.
When the emperor died, the crown prince naturally ascended the throne.
