The imperial physician replied, "The princess was frightened. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. She will be fine after taking it. Your Majesty, please rest assured, the fetus is safe."
The emperor felt a tightness in his chest. Could he possibly feel at ease? How could he possibly feel at ease?
Now that she's really pregnant, we need to find out who's behind this.
Doesn't he know who's behind it all?
Upon seeing this, Yun Qingluo cried out again, "Your Majesty, please do me justice! If I hadn't known a little martial arts, I might have lost my life here, and you wouldn't have been able to see your dear nephew."
Moreover, if something were to happen to your own nephew, how heartbroken you would be! Oh, Your Majesty, I beg you to thoroughly investigate the person behind this!"
Yun Qingluo kept calling him her "dear nephew," which really disgusted the emperor.
But today is a polo match hosted by the Imperial Noble Consort, and all the prominent figures in the capital have come, including the families of the high-ranking officials.
He couldn't get angry, so he could only hold his breath, stuck in a rut.
Why didn't that damn nemesis kill her?
Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to care, Yun Qingluo took out a needle and pricked her thigh several times.
This time, she was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes, and she could barely speak, but everyone thought she was just terrified.
"Your Majesty, the Regent is leading his soldiers in a fierce battle. If he knew that someone was harming his wife and children in the country he has worked so hard to protect, how heartbroken would he be?"
"If the soldiers of Tianmo Kingdom knew that their own families were in turmoil, how could they possibly be motivated to protect the greater good?"
"All the soldiers ask for is peace for their country and harmony for their families, but now someone is openly harming their wives and unborn children. How painful must it be for them to know?"
"Everyone says to sacrifice the small family for the greater good, but what a gentleman says is that one must first manage one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world. A gentleman's actions also mean that one must first manage one's family and then talk about the state and then the world. But now that their families are not at peace and their wives and children's lives are in danger, how can they go to the battlefield with peace of mind?"
"The warriors of Tianmo Kingdom rely on the fact that when they are away from home, the imperial court will take care of their families and ensure the safety of their wives and children. But now, their families are far from safe..."
"Your Majesty, even if not for my sake, for the sake of the countless soldiers, you must find the person behind this and punish them severely!"
Everyone present fell silent after hearing Yun Qingluo's words.
Of everyone present, more than half had relatives who had joined the army, and what Yun Qingluo said was something they cared about.
At this moment, no one thought of her as the high and mighty, incomparably powerful Regent's Consort, nor did anyone think of her as the legitimate daughter of the General of the Nation's Mansion...
In their eyes, Yun Qingluo, who was crying on the high platform, was just a weak woman, no, a fragile pregnant woman, hoping for her husband's safe return.
Suddenly, Yun Qinglu cried out in heart-wrenching sobs, "I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the person behind this and punish them severely."
Everyone felt a deep sense of empathy and knelt down, shouting, "We beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the person behind this and punish them severely!"
"We beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the person behind this and punish them severely!"
Yun Qingluo turned her head to look at the crowd pleading for her, and immediately felt that her pain and tears had not been in vain.
Human nature is such that people won't believe the weak they hear about, they'll only believe the weak they see.
Humans tend to sympathize with the weak. Whoever is weak is right, even if they are wrong. As long as you are miserable enough, there will be people who will stand up for you.
This is the power of public opinion.
Yun Qingluo glanced at the emperor, who was on the verge of fainting from anger, and sneered inwardly.
Clearly, the emperor had no idea what public opinion was...
Let him experience the pressure of public opinion.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not make a decision, I will jump off this platform today and die to end it all. Anyway, I'm going to die sooner or later."
"Waaah, I just feel so sorry for my unborn child... My poor child, it's my fault for not being able to protect you."
"Waaaaah, if only... if only your father were here, but unfortunately he's gone to war and we don't know when he'll be back. My poor child."
"It's okay that your father won't come back. Don't be afraid. We'll wait for him at the crossroads of the underworld, and we'll be a family again in the next life."
"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the country. If you don't make this decision, how can I survive? I will leave this world and never be a citizen of Tianmo Kingdom again in my next life."
Yun Qingluo looked up at the emperor, cried out in anguish, stood up, gave An Jiu and Yun Tao a look, and rushed toward the edge of the platform.
She was afraid that An Jiu hadn't noticed her gesture, so she deliberately tugged at his sleeve as they passed each other.
She was worried that Yun Tao might not be able to hold her back, which would be embarrassing.
People below gasped, "No!"
When Yun Qingluo rushed to the edge, she didn't see Yun Tao and An Jiu, and she couldn't help but panic.
Why did it fail at the crucial moment?
Just as she was debating whether to make the act real, a strong force surged from the side and knocked her down onto the high platform.
The fall was so violent that I felt like my tailbone was cracked.
Yun Qingluo looked up and saw Yuan Qingling looking at her with lingering fear.
"Your Highness, please don't do anything rash. The Regent will go crazy if he doesn't see you when he returns."
After speaking, he stood up and looked at the audience below the stands. "He used to be our guardian deity. The Regent protected this pure land of ours. Now that his wife and children have perished, it is time for us to do something for our guardian deity."
Then she turned around and knelt down with a thud, the sound of which made Yun Qingluo feel pain for her knees.
This silly girl is so honest.
Yuan Qingling shouted, "I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind this crime and punish him severely."
