The emperor neither stopped him nor saved him. He had followed him for so many years, and even if he spared his life out of their past friendship, he would not use him anymore.
"Bury it."
When the emperor returned to Yonghua Palace, Rong Xi was still asleep, and he just looked at her quietly.
He knew in his heart that if she wasn't there this time, he would die miserably even if he had planned everything.
"My dear Xi'er, I swear I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
Rong Xi woke up when he heard the voice and saw the emperor looking at him with tears in his eyes.
"Xier is awake. Are you hungry? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Your Majesty, I am risking my life to come to the palace to find you. How much money do you plan to give me this time?"
The emperor knew it, patted his hands and said that rows of palace servants came in from outside, holding all kinds of rare treasures in their hands, the most important of which was the two boxes of gold.
"Your Majesty, how much gold is this?"
"Five hundred taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, five hundred taels of silver notes, and five hundred thousand taels of rare treasures. My Xi'er, do you like them?"
"I like it, I like it. These are all for me."
"nature."
Rong Xi's waist and leg pains immediately stopped. She stood up from the couch and looked left and right with her big belly.
"Ahhh, that's great, I have money, ah~"
"What happened to Xier?"
"It hurts. My stomach hurts."
The emperor's face turned pale with fear, but fortunately the nanny beside him reminded him that Rong Xi was about to give birth, so he carried her to the bed.
Because of this palace coup, all the people who had been prepared before followed Rong Xi to a safe place. Now there was not even a proper midwife.
The emperor was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp. What should he do?
It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Xier wouldn’t have been like this.
Fortunately, this nanny was an old employee in the palace. Although she had never delivered a baby herself, she had seen concubines from the previous dynasty give birth and remembered some things.
The emperor was so anxious outside that he was jumping up and down, and the shouting inside made his heart wrench.
The emperor walked in the center of the palace and knelt down with a thud. Seeing that His Majesty had knelt down, no one dared to stand.
All I heard was His Majesty clasping his hands together and bowing devoutly towards heaven, muttering something.
"I pray that God will bless my Xi'er and her unborn child with a safe birth. May they live long and healthy lives free from disasters. I solemnly promise that I will diligently govern the country and work for the well-being of all the people, so that they can all live and work in peace and contentment. To this end, I will spare no expense, even in the face of countless difficulties and dangers!"
After saying this, the emperor bowed towards the sky. His movements were slow and solemn, and his eyes revealed a firm belief and determination, and he was very pious.
As he slowly stood up from his knees, the cries of children could be heard from inside.
The emperor quickly stood up and ran to the door. Soon the child was taken out.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince."
"Okay, okay, rewards. Everyone present today will receive a year's salary. Anyone who attends the Queen during childbirth will receive a three-year salary. Anyone who personally delivers the Queen will receive a five-year salary."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Everyone was smiling happily, and they all knew that the person inside was now the Queen of Dai Viet.
Rong Xi also heard the emperor's prayer to God outside the door. He is a good emperor and a good father.
"My Xi'er."
The emperor walked in clumsily holding the child. He felt so distressed to see her look so haggard.
"Your Majesty, I am fine."
"Xi'er, look at our child."
The little guy hadn't opened his eyes yet, and his face was red and he didn't look very good, but the emperor couldn't get enough of looking at him.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is tired and needs to rest."
"Okay, I'll stay here and watch over you. Go to sleep, Xi'er."
After Rong Xi fell asleep, the emperor never put the child down. To be honest, he was a little worried that the child would be taken away by someone, or that someone with bad intentions would harm them. He had to stay here to guard the child.
.
When the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she heard that Rong Xi had given birth. She got off the carriage and rushed over. After seeing the child, she smiled and then cried.
The day Rong Xi left, she fainted from fear. She was about to give birth, so how could she go to such a dangerous place? The bad guys were still outside the palace. If they found her, maybe...
She had already given up hope, but fortunately she received a letter from the emperor on the third day. Knowing that they were all safe, he called back the team that had been sent out to look for them.
Looking at the child in the emperor's arms, even though she wanted to take the child, the emperor dodged her.
"Mother, you must be tired after traveling all day. You should go back and rest."
"I'm not tired. How can I be tired when I see my little grandson? Give me a hug."
"Mother, you are covered in dust. You should go back and wash yourself before coming back."
"You..." The queen mother went back and ran over again without even drying her hair after taking a bath. The emperor had no choice but to give the child to her.
"Mother, please be careful, he is too young."
"I have more experience than you. I personally raised you when you were a child."
"Mother, it's been so many years, how could you still remember?"
"Then I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."
The sleeping little prince was woken up and burst into tears with his mouth opened.
"Look, it's you who's causing all the trouble, my dearest child. It's all your father's fault."
The Emperor: "Mother, please don't speak ill of me in front of my child."
"Why, didn't you make him cry?"
The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Finally, Rong Xi woke up and asked him to bring the child over.
The Queen Mother held Rong Xi's hand, her eyes red.
"Xi'er, do you know how scared I was that day? Don't do that again."
"It's the Queen Mother. I understand."
"Why are you still calling me Queen Mother? You are the Queen now, so you should call me Mother."
"Yes, mother."
The little prince, who had just turned one month old, was designated as the crown prince. Now no one in the court dared to say anything about the emperor having no heir.
However, due to the rebellion of Prince Jia, there is now only one concubine in the palace, the Queen, and the ministers have started to make new plans.
However, the minister who had just shown this sign was sent away from Kyoto, and the ministers in the court also knew from the Prince Jia Rebellion that their emperor was not as simple as he seemed, so no one dared to mention it again.
After all, the bloodstains at Caishikou haven't dried up yet.
No one in the families of the deceased concubines dared to say much. After all, they knew exactly what happened to their daughters, so they dared not say more.
.
That night, the little prince was carried away by the empress dowager. The emperor came to Rongxi Palace early in the morning and followed Rongxi into the bathroom.
The embarrassing sound from inside the door lasted for a long time.
"Your Majesty, that's enough. I'm really tired."
"Xi'er, we haven't been together for a long time, can we do it a few more times?"
"You'll regret this."
