Outside the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Wushuang gave birth? And triplets?" Mrs. Gu was overjoyed when she got the news. Now her daughter's position was secure.
She asked worriedly again, "After giving birth to three children, is Wushuang's body okay?"
Gu Qianlei was also very happy. Her daughter gave birth to triplets, two of whom were princes. She would have someone to rely on in the future.
Hearing Madam Gu asking about her daughter's health, he patted his chest and assured her, "No problem, Wushuang is in very good health, there is absolutely no problem."
"I asked Imperial Physician Shen, and he told me that Wushuang is in good health and has no injuries."
Mrs. Gu felt relieved after hearing his words.
When the couple was happy because their daughter had given birth and was in good health, Gu Yuming, the eldest son of the Gu family, walked in with a sullen face?
"What's wrong?" Gu Qianlei was the first to notice his son, and asked when he saw his unhappy expression.
"Someone wanted to harm Wushuang when she was giving birth, and His Majesty asked me to interrogate her." Gu Yuming said.
Gu Qianlei's face darkened. "Someone attacked Wushuang again? And did they do it while she was giving birth?"
Gu Yuming said with a cold face, "Wushuang had two midwives brought out from the delivery room, and now His Majesty has asked me to interrogate them."
Gu Qianlei said with a dark face, "I'll go take a look too."
Madam Gu said angrily, "Who else could be staring at our Wushuang except the other women in the harem?"
"What do you think? Will that Concubine Ming attack our Wushuang? She was the most popular candidate for empress before, and our Wushuang is her strongest competitor."
Mrs. Gu has also experienced family fights, and she experienced a lot of them when she just married Gu Qianlei.
Later, Gu Qianlei only had her as a woman, all because of her good looks, good means, and her abilities.
She and Gu Qianlei have a good relationship, but it wasn't good from the beginning.
She knew very well what those women were like when she was fighting in the house.
Now it was her daughter's turn, and the first person Mrs. Gu suspected was her daughter's most powerful rival - Concubine Ming.
Madam Gu looked at Gu Qianlei and Gu Yuming and said, "Don't forget, when Concubine Ming entered the palace, it was originally said that she would be the queen."
As a result, His Majesty and the Queen Mother changed their minds at the last minute and made her a noble concubine.
She had been in the palace for nearly ten years and had managed the harem very well.
Over the years, countless court officials have petitioned Dongfang Che to be crowned empress, but he resisted the pressure and did not crown Concubine Ming as empress.
Now that Wushuang in their family has given birth to two princes, and Concubine Ming has missed the position of queen, how can she not deal with Wushuang?
Gu Qianlei and Gu Yuming looked at her, and the father and son looked at each other again, thinking that what she said might be true.
"This is also a clue." Gu Qianlei said to his son, "You go interrogate the two midwives, and I'll check if anyone from the Su family is involved."
Gu Qianlei is the prime minister. Although he is only in his early forties, his methods should not be underestimated.
Tutor Su is equally powerful as him, but to be honest, the Prime Minister has more power. If he wants to investigate the Su family, he will probably be able to find out something.
Gu Qianlei and Gu Yuming did not just focus on the Su family. They also wanted to investigate whether the Zhao family and the Qin family were involved, and they also wanted to investigate the families of other women in the harem.
Of course, in addition to the women in the harem, they also had to check if anyone from the royal family was keeping an eye on Dongfang Che.
Only if Dongfang Che has no children, their children can be adopted as heirs and inherit the throne.
So it is not ruled out that they have such ideas and then take action.
…
Yunqi Palace.
When Wushuang woke up, Qinghe hurried forward to help her up.
"Empress, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Would you like some water?" Qinghe asked.
Wushuang nodded, "Drink some water."
Qinghe helped Wushuang sit up and winked at another palace maid to pour some water.
The palace maid poured a cup of warm water and gave it to Wushuang to drink.
"How long have I slept?" Wushuang asked.
"Your Majesty, you slept for an hour and a half." Qinghe said.
Wushuang didn't expect that she would sleep for so long after giving birth. According to later calculations, it was three hours.
She wasn't actually very tired, but she still slept in.
Wushuang finished drinking the water and was silent for a while before she remembered, "I gave birth? Where's the baby?"
Did she remember that she gave birth to three cubs?
Wushuang couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this, and he poked the system frantically in his heart.
"System, system, waiter, waiter, I gave birth to three children. Can you give me an extra thirty years of cultivation?"
"Waiter, waiter, hurry up, give me thirty years of cultivation!" Wushuang excitedly poked the system.
This is thirty years of cultivation, which is one seventh of her cultivation. How can she not be happy?
System 2754: “…”
"Congratulations host on giving birth to triplets. Your reward will be given to you after you leave this world."
Wushuang was unhappy after hearing what the system said.
"What do you mean by giving it to me after I leave this world? Shouldn't I be given the reward after I give birth?"
"No, host. Of course, the mission will be settled after you leave the mission world." said the system.
Wushuang: "I don't care, I want a reward! My thirty years of cultivation, give it to me quickly!"
Why is she doing the mission?
If it wasn't for the ten years of cultivation reward for having a child, why would she give up the opportunity to practice well and run to the Three Thousand Worlds to give birth to a child?
Do you really think giving birth is an easy thing?
If her innate skill wasn't giving birth, if her cultivation wasn't good enough to shield her from the pain of labor and childbirth, how could she possibly be willing to give birth?
Now that she has given birth to the child, she is not given the promised reward, right?
Wushuang said unhappily, "I'm warning you, give me my reward quickly! Don't delay, it's my thirty years of cultivation!"
System 2754 is about to cry.
"Host, this is how missions are done. Rewards will be calculated only after the mission world ends. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Wushuang: "I don't care, I just want the reward. I don't care about other rewards. I just want the thirty years of cultivation!"
The system looked at Wushuang's determined expression and said helplessly, "Okay then, I'll apply to the main system and see if I can send you the reward."
"Hurry up," Wushuang urged.
System 2754: “…”
This host is really giving the system a headache.
Seeing that the system was quiet, Wushuang thought that it should go to the main system to apply for her reward, so she didn't say anything else.
"I'm hungry. Bring me some food." Wushuang said to Qinghe.
Giving birth was physically demanding, and she had slept for so long that she was indeed hungry now.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will send someone to serve the meal right away." Qinghe said.
Wushuang's Yunqi Palace had a small kitchen after she became pregnant. Dongfang Che and Empress Dowager Yu both gave her the privilege of having a small kitchen in her own palace.
Of course, as a noble concubine, she originally had this privilege, but after she had a child, her taste changed drastically. Using this as an excuse, she was allowed to open a small kitchen, and the other concubines couldn't say much.
