Yunxia Palace.
"Mother, do I need to pay attention to my seventeenth brother?" The ninth prince, the eldest son in the actual sense among Zhou Guangye's surviving sons, looked at his mother and asked.
Concubine Zhao looked at her son calmly and said, "How old is your seventeenth brother now? Does he need your attention?"
"He has the Su family and their allies behind him. To deal with him, we have to go against the Su family." Concubine Zhao looked at her slender fingers and observed her nails. "Don't lose your composure."
"Your father is old, and what you should do is sit tight and wait."
“Don’t do anything unnecessary.”
Concubine Zhao warned her son, and the mothers of other adult princes were also warning their sons not to act recklessly.
A newborn baby, so what even if he is adopted as the queen's child?
The royal family is the place that cares the most about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but it is also the place that cares the least about it.
So the seventeenth prince is not yet a big deal, so there is no need to lose your composure because of him.
Everyone tacitly believed that since the Seventeenth Prince had four younger brothers who looked so much like him, he was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor.
Lin Jieyu and Yu Meiren were still waiting for others to take action against Wushuang and her child, but everything remained calm.
Just as the quintuplets grew bigger and bigger and gradually reached five years old, their biological mother, Yuan Jieyu, announced that she was pregnant again.
"Why is she pregnant again?"
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Lin and Concubine Yu, who had already fallen out of favor, were very surprised.
Should they say that the old emperor is still strong and healthy? He is already sixty years old, and he actually got Yuan Wushuang pregnant?
"Sister Lin." Yu Meiren looked at her and smiled. "It's useless for you to worry now. We've all fallen out of favor, haven't we?"
There have been no new children in the palace in these years. The youngest are basically the five children Wushuang gave birth to five years ago. No other concubines have given birth.
Now Wushuang is pregnant again, so what if they are extremely jealous?
The most important thing is that they both fell out of favor a long time ago.
What the two of them did to Yuan Wushuang back then had long been uncovered, and it was already very good that they were not banished to the cold palace and demoted to the lowest-ranking concubine.
So what if they are jealous of Wushuang now?
"Yeah, what can we do?" Lin Jieyu was reminded by Yu Meiren and also remembered her own situation.
How long has it been since Yuan Wushuang came into favor?
How long has it been since the emperor thought of her?
The old emperor had many women in his harem, and even more of them were forgotten by him, so no matter how jealous Concubine Lin was, it was useless.
…
Fengxiang Palace.
"You're pregnant again?" Su Yunluan was also very surprised when she learned that Wushuang was pregnant. She was really brave.
Su Yunluan was of course very clear that Wushuang was definitely not pregnant with the old emperor's child.
She used to dislike the old emperor. Now that the old emperor is a few years older, doesn’t she dislike him anymore?
So the baby in Wushuang's belly now should still be her brother's.
Su Yunluan really admired Wushuang's courage.
Wushuang propped up his chin and looked at Su Yunluan with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Queen, everything will be fine."
"Maybe we should take action."
The quintuplets born by Wushuang are very smart. Even though they are only five years old, they should be able to shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the throne.
So at this moment, there is no need for the old emperor to continue living.
and……
Wushuang finally understood what would happen to the Great Zhou Dynasty in the original plot.
In the later years of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, the emperor encountered the Anshi Rebellion. Zhou Guangye, the emperor of the Great Zhou, was comparable to Li Longji, so there should have been another turmoil later.
In the original plot, the old man Zhou Guangye lived to be over eighty years old, but the turmoil occurred when he was in his seventies.
By this calculation, there are still more than ten years left.
While Zhou Guangye is only in his early sixties, let him return to the underworld as soon as possible, and then let capable people govern the country and prevent unrest.
The Tang Dynasty fell from prosperity to chaos in an instant, and the Zhou Dynasty was no less so.
For the sake of the people and himself, Wushuang will definitely not let the old emperor go.
Although Su Yunluan didn't know that Zhou Guangye would cause war in the future, she didn't want to continue to tolerate the old emperor.
She agreed to Wushuang's proposal and began to deal with the old emperor and the court officials.
Su Yunluan is an elite cultivated by a family like the Su family. She has been the queen for more than ten years and has already honed her political skills.
So Wushuang doesn't need to intervene, Su Yunluan can join forces with her brother Su Yunqing to push Zhou Qiming to the throne.
When Wushuang was five months pregnant with her second child, the old emperor passed away and the young emperor Zhou Qiming ascended the throne.
Zhou Qiming's group of adult brothers were unable to defeat him and the people behind him, so they lost in the battle for the throne.
The most important thing is the will left by the old emperor Zhou Guangye before his death, which clearly stated that the throne would be inherited by Zhou Qiming.
Su Yunluan was automatically promoted to Regent Queen Mother. Wushuang was also the Queen Mother, but she needed to take care of her pregnancy and did not like to manage things, so she did not interfere in state affairs at all.
Su Yunqing was the regent minister and sat in the position of Taifu.
Ci'an Palace.
"You...this belly...is it...pregnant with multiple babies again?"
Su Yunqing, who had been busy with the fight for the throne and had not entered the palace for a long time, found Wushuang six months pregnant when she entered the palace again.
When he saw Wushuang's belly, he felt really scared.
