Chen Yao naturally understood their good intentions and concerns, "Okay, then I won't ask in detail, but you have to tell me, is what you are busy with very dangerous?"
Qi Yunxiao thought for a while before replying, "There is danger, but don't worry. Everything that needs to be arranged has been made. I will definitely protect you and the child. Besides, these things will be over soon, don't worry."
…
Later, one day, about half a month later, Chen Yao clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in the palace. It was far less tense than before.
Sure enough, when Qi Yunxiao came back in the evening, she learned the outcome of everything, as well as some old stories involving the emperor, empress, and Concubine Xian.
It turned out that more than 20 years ago, when Emperor Jingyuan was still Prince Jing and had not yet ascended the throne, he had suspected that someone in his backyard was having an affair with an outsider. The main reason was the report of a servant who said that he heard strange noises in the back garden. When he hid and wanted to see who it was, he only saw the corner of a luxurious brocade robe. Before he could see anything clearly, the person had disappeared.
After learning about this, Emperor Jingyuan did not make a big deal out of the concern for his reputation and the tense competition among the princes at the time. He suppressed his shame and anger and sent people to investigate the matter in detail.
But after searching for a while, no clues were found.
Shortly after that, Empress Xian, who was then a concubine, was diagnosed with pregnancy. Not long after, Empress Dowager Cixi, who was then the principal wife, was also found to be pregnant.
At that time, Emperor Jingyuan felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Later, when the secret guards continued to investigate, many of the accusations pointed to the queen at that time.
Emperor Jingyuan was furious, but considering that he could use the power of the Yue family to seize the throne, he put the matter deep in his heart for the sake of the overall situation.
Therefore, there was the love-hate relationship between the two people in the following years, and Emperor Jingyuan's obviously unfair treatment of Qi Yunxiao.
Now, after so many years, the truth has been overturned again, and the finger of blame is pointed directly at Empress Xian. The man who had an affair with her was also forced to confess his guilt. In the face of overwhelming evidence, no matter how hard Empress Xian tries to be tough or to plead for mercy, it is of no use.
It is conceivable what will be the fate of Empress Xian and Qi Zhao.
In this matter, the Queen and Qi Yunxiao are the biggest victims. Emperor Jingyuan and Concubine Xian can never compensate them for what they owe them.
Especially the Queen, it is hard to imagine how she managed to survive all these years.
The final result was that Emperor Jingyuan personally dealt with Concubine Xian and Qi Zhao, without even using poisoned wine. He simply wielded the sword that he loved to use most when he was full of vigor and vitality, and cleanly and neatly made the whole world quiet down.
The cries and pleas for mercy from Empress Xian and Qi Zhao ended the moment their heads hit the ground.
As for the man who dared to bring someone to him, he would face the consequences of being cut into pieces.
After saying this, Qi Yunxiao was a little afraid of scaring Chen Yao, so he stopped talking and asked her if she was okay.
Chen Yao only felt a wave of heartache in her heart, and she was so sad that she couldn't say a word while hugging him.
…
A few days later.
Suddenly, news of the emperor's death came from the palace.
After that, Qi Yunxiao was busy with the work and succession to the throne in accordance with the will.
…
By the time everything was back on track, Chen Yao was already more than five months pregnant.
Considering that too many things have happened in the palace during this period, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Yao decided that they would continue to live in the palace before the child was born.
During the day, Qi Yunxiao would go to the palace to handle government affairs. After the court session, he would bring the unfinished memorials and return home as soon as possible to accompany Chen Yao.
After a period of physical and mental recuperation, the queen's condition finally improved.
Chen Yao and Qi Yunxiao both wanted her to change her living environment for a while, so they suggested that she leave the palace and live with them in the prince's mansion.
Although this is not quite in line with the rules, at this time, the company and guidance of family members are the most important.
Finally, after several persuasions from both of them, the queen nodded.
…
During Shen Yao's pregnancy, everyone around her took good care of her. Even her mother would come to visit her and accompany her from time to time, and taught her a lot of experience in caring for the fetus.
Of course, there are also various kinds of precious supplements.
From the big ones sent from the palace to the small ones Qi Yunxiao bought after asking others for advice, in short, there were more than she could eat at home.
A few months later, she successfully gave birth to a pair of lovely twins, a boy and a girl, with the brother coming in front and the sister behind.
After the children were over a hundred days old, the family officially moved into the palace.
After that, there was the grand ceremony of coronating Chen Yao as queen.
…
Time flies.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the children grew up.
From now on, Chen Yao has no plans to have another child.
Two is enough, she believes that the two brothers and sisters will always support each other.
Qi Yunxiao thought so too.
Moreover, after personally experiencing the open and secret struggles among the princes, Qi Yunxiao felt more and more happy and satisfied with his current life.
Moreover, he and Yaoyao created a peaceful, tranquil, and happy living environment for their son and daughter that was different from that of previous generations of royal families.
But in order to prevent children from being content with the status quo, enjoying comfort, and having no sense of crisis, his educational philosophy will be stricter.
Not to mention studying, the physical training arranged for them every day is enough to make them exhausted.
