In the following days, Zhou Yiyi felt like everyone treated him like a fragile porcelain doll.
Every move he made was followed by countless palace maids and eunuchs.
Especially from the fourth month onwards, her belly began to grow rapidly like a balloon.
But the limbs are still very slender.
Ye Xichen's morning sickness also improved a lot, and her appetite improved even more.
Almost all the chefs in the imperial kitchen were transferred to the Regent's Palace by the Empress Dowager, and they cooked various kinds of food for the two of them all day long.
Ye Xichen did gain a few pounds, but Zhou Yiyi never gained weight.
This made Ye Xichen extremely worried, and every day he asked Valley Master Huang to take Zhou Yi's pulse and prepare medicinal food. However, the pulse check results showed that Zhou Yi was healthy and the child was also healthy.
Hearing that they were all healthy and couldn't gain weight even if they ate too much, Ye Xichen felt relieved.
Next, he freed up his hands and began to implement his revenge plan.
He followed Zheng Xinyi's method and made up her own story and released it.
He also secretly asked people to confiscate the stories that had been written about him and Zhou Yiyi, and at the same time asked people to start writing a sweet love story between the two of them.
It is said that public opinion can be guided.
Under Ye Xichen's deliberate guidance, the previous bad comments about him gradually disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by stories about how he and Zhou Yiyi loved each other, how happy they were, and how sweet they were.
The unpleasant rumors about Joyce Cheng are becoming more and more widespread.
Zheng Xinyi and Ye Ruliang's original wedding date was set for Zhou Yiyi's fifth month of pregnancy.
Ye Ruliang knew that Zheng Xinyi was already a fallen woman at this time, and he didn't like her at all, so he mustered up the courage to ask the Grand Concubine and the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement, but was unfortunately rejected.
The Queen Mother took Ye Ruliang's hand and said earnestly, "Liang'er, I know you don't like Xinyi. Women are just a facade. Just marry the woman you like in the future.
We can only stick together with Zheng Jiashuan, and only then will your uncle and your great-uncle support you with all their strength."
Ye Ruliang had no choice but to marry Zheng Xinyi as scheduled.
What was supposed to be a grand wedding of the emperor and empress ended up being less lively than Ye Xichen and Zhou Yiyi’s wedding.
And on the day of their wedding, countless people took to the streets, throwing rotten eggs and leaves at the wedding procession.
There were even beggars chasing Zheng Xinyi's sedan chair, saying terrible things about her.
With Ye Xichen's secret instigation, the crazy actions of the people were not only not stopped, but became more and more intense.
Zheng Xinyi listened to those unbearable words in the sedan chair, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She gritted her teeth tightly.
"Say what you will, no matter what you say, I am already the queen, and I will be the queen soon."
According to regulations, before Ye Ruliang and Zheng Xinyi got married, Ye Ruliang, as the emperor, had to go to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors, but was stopped by Ye Xichen.
Ye Xichen took out the secret decree that his father had left for his brother and read it out in front of everyone.
Ye Ruliang listened to Ye Xichen read out the edict of abdication of the throne and knelt on the ground in dejection.
His expression was as dead as ashes.
Under Ye Xichen's arrangement, Ye Ruliang and Zheng Xinyi's wedding was held as scheduled.
It was not until Zheng Xinyi entered the bridal chamber that she learned from the maid that Ye Ruliang had abdicated to Ye Xichen. She frantically pulled off her veil and yelled in the room.
Coincidentally, Ye Ruliang walked in from outside, looked at the crazy Zheng Xinyi, raised his hand and slapped her, knocking Zheng Xinyi to the ground.
"How can a slut who has been played with by old eunuchs be worthy of being the queen?"
Zheng Xinyi didn't expect Ye Ruliang to say such vicious words. She was crying, but her voice suddenly became hoarse, as if her throat was tied with a rope.
Suddenly he started to pounce on Ye Ruliang like crazy.
"I'm not worthy, only that woman is. Is that the only woman in your heart? It's a pity that she will never marry you.
She is already pregnant with Ye Xichen's child. Don't you all say that Ye Xichen is a disabled person? Haha..., you have all been fooled. He is not. He is about to become a father now, and what about you? You have even lost the throne. "
Ye Ruliang didn't want to listen to her at all, so he raised his hand and started fighting with Zheng Xinyi. The wedding night was made extremely embarrassing by the two of them.
Their weddings were not feasts, but massacres.
While they were holding their wedding, Ye Xichen arrested the entire Zheng family, all their followers, and nine clans, and slaughtered them all, leaving no one alive.
Even the Grand Concubine and the Queen Mother in the palace were directly imprisoned in the cold palace by him.
Zhou Yiyi was not aware of any of these things. She felt like a pig, eating and sleeping all day long.
Fortunately, I didn't gain weight.
What made her feel funny was that Ye Xichen was gaining weight day by day, and his originally sharp face became rounder.
Even though she was pregnant, she still slept soundly with a big belly.
On the other hand, Ye Xichen felt sore in his back and waist that he couldn't lie down flat at all, so he could only sleep on his side.
As the months progressed, Ye Xichen's symptoms became more pronounced. Zhou Yi spent the entire day watching Ye Xichen suffer from the false pregnancy, secretly rejoicing.
"Ah Sheng, this lucky pill is really good. I originally thought that pregnancy was very difficult, but now it seems that letting the fathers suffer is the most appropriate."
