When the empress dowager heard the commotion in Kunning Palace and hurried over, she happened to see Liu Ruyue leisurely letting the imperial physician feel her pulse.
And next to him, the emperor was vomiting!
Looking at this scene, even though the imperial physician did not tell her the result, the empress dowager already had an idea in her mind.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Queen is pregnant!"
After taking the pulse, the imperial physician walked across the venue to congratulate a few people.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was overjoyed and forgot about her precious son who was still retching. She ran to Liu Ruyue's side and took her hand tenderly: "Ahhhh!!
Yue'er, you are pregnant again, and I am going to have a little princess again!
"Yue'er, you should lie down and take care of yourself. I have just received a batch of blood swallow's nest, donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng. I will have the palace maids bring them all to you later. You are weak, so you must take good care of yourself!"
After explaining Liu Ruyue's situation, the Queen Mother did not forget Emperor Zhao: "Emperor, Yue'er is weak and now she is pregnant. There are some things you should warn me about!"
Emperor Zhao, with sourness rising in his throat, heard his mother's words and looked at her with a painful expression, as if silently asking: Mother, do you think I am okay now?
However, no matter how sad he was, Emperor Zhao was still happy that Liu Ruyue was pregnant.
After all, as an emperor, who doesn’t want to have many descendants?
However, Yue'er is indeed a little weak and needs some nourishment.
I heard that the mutton in Tubo is not smelly and is very delicious even when boiled in water. Yue'er likes taking goat milk baths so much, so she must like eating mutton too.
Moreover, I heard that the fruits in that place are sweeter, and it will be summer in two or three months, so I can harvest more fruits for Yue'er to relieve her greasy stomach.
Well, it seems it's time to take over Tubo.
With a plan in mind, when Emperor Zhao's morning sickness eased a little, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Helian Kui in southern Xinjiang.
In the letter, he first found an excuse to scold Helian Kui.
Then, he was allowed to lead a million troops to attack Tubo!
Along with Emperor Zhao's letter, there was also a letter from Liu Ruyue to Helian Tingting.
General Helian was inexplicably scolded by Emperor Zhao and was speechless.
However, after learning from Helian Tingting that Queen Liu was indeed pregnant, he immediately announced it to the entire army with joy.
After his joy, he realized why Emperor Zhao scolded him: People who suffer from morning sickness tend to be in a bad mood. If he can't scold the Queen and the Queen Mother, then he has to scold himself, right?
Forget it, forget it!
It’s all my fault!
He blamed himself for forgetting to pray to the gods for Emperor Zhao when he led a million troops to burn paper money, and only cared about praying to the gods for Queen Liu.
Now, the gods have appeared and Queen Liu is pregnant.
Queen Liu was the blessed woman chosen by the Queen Mother of the West, so naturally she could not suffer the pain of pregnancy.
Then let Emperor Zhao suffer by himself, and don't blame him as a minister for not helping Emperor Zhao. It's true that someone has to suffer during pregnancy. Instead of letting Queen Liu suffer, it's better to let Emperor Zhao suffer.
Emperor Zhao is just a man, it’s just morning sickness, what’s the big deal!
At worst, I can just lead the army to defeat Tubo as soon as possible!
Comforting himself in this way, General Helian gave up the idea of burning paper and praying to God for Emperor Zhao without even struggling.
No, perhaps he never had this idea.
Xiao Qingfeng and his million-strong army also had the same idea.
The million-strong army was ambitious and tried to conquer Tubo within half a year as a newborn gift for the future princes and princesses.
In southern Xinjiang, not only the millions of soldiers knew that Queen Liu was pregnant again, but also the princes, nobles, ministers and their families who were exiled here to engage in production and construction.
When the sons of King Wenxuan and King Shengming heard the news, they all smiled bitterly:
Who said Emperor Zhao is incapable?
This is almost as good as a breeding pig, making Queen Liu pregnant one baby after another.
If they had known that Emperor Zhao would do this, why would they have thought of adopting a son?
If they didn't want to fight for the position of crown prince, they wouldn't have done those things, and they wouldn't have ended up in the situation they are in now.
The former princes and nobles became slaves who plowed the land and they felt very miserable.
However, when they saw the Yu family father and son who had been tortured to the point of being almost unrecognizable, they felt that they were lucky.
The rebel gang that had plotted rebellion, including Ke Youtian and several other main plotters, were all skinned alive as a warning.
Originally, as one of the masterminds of the rebellion, the Yu family father and son should also be punished by skinning.
However, the Queen Mother personally spoke up and spared the lives of the two men.
However, in order to atone for the two men's crime of treason, the guards guarding these exiles would cut off two taels of flesh from their bodies every day and bury it directly in the ground in front of them, saying that it was to comfort the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle in southern Xinjiang.
More than a year passed, and the Yu family father and son had to cut off two taels of meat every day, and their bodies were already riddled with wounds.
However, what the army has the most is medicine for wounds. The military doctor will give the two men medicine every day and try to keep them alive.
Not only that, the two of them were also suffering from long-term illnesses.
No, I'm still unlucky.
They were often cultivating the land peacefully, but a stone would fly out of nowhere and hit them. If a poisonous snake appeared while they were cultivating the wasteland, it would definitely bite them. Even when walking on a flat road, they would fall for no reason...
Because of their bad luck, not only others but even the rest of the Yu family stayed away from the father and son.
There was no other way, the person in charge could only arrange the father and son to live in separate shacks.
The night they moved into their new shack, a thunderbolt struck the shack, igniting the thatch on the roof and causing a huge fire...
Everyone was awakened by the thunder while sleeping. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel lucky that the two had moved out, otherwise they might be implicated.
This kind of weird thing happened more and more frequently, and when the news that Liu Ruyue was the blessed daughter chosen by the Queen Mother of the West reached southern Xinjiang, everyone thought that it was because the Yu family father and son had angered God with what they had done to Liu Ruyue, and it was retribution.
Even the Yu family’s father and son thought so!
There was no way he could know that the two of them were like this. It was all because when they parted in Jingzhou, Liu Ruyue used disease talismans and bad luck talismans on them respectively!
Despite their bad luck, the military doctor still had to keep the two men alive. After all, the guards who were watching over them had another duty: to tell them about the affair between Emperor Zhao and Empress Liu.
At the beginning, the Yu family father and son could still endure it.
However, later, when they heard that Liu Ruyue was pregnant - confirmed by the Queen Mother of the West as a blessed girl - was named a noble concubine - gave birth to a prince and two princesses - and was named queen, they felt very uncomfortable.
Especially Liu Ruyue's former fiancé Yu Changke was thinking in his heart:
If I hadn't offered Liu Ruyue to Emperor Zhao, would I be the one sitting on the dragon throne now?
