Tears welled up in the Empress Dowager's eyes. She was the most favored among the six harems back then. Even though she had no children, the emperor helped her ascend the throne and even chose an outstanding prince for her to raise.
The late emperor paved all the way for her...
In the back hall, Xuan Ling held Sheng Xiyan's face and asked softly:
"Are you scared? It's okay. I'll protect you."
Sheng Xiyan rubbed against him, flirting with a guilty look, and called out in a delicate voice:
"Lingling..."
Xuan Ling: “…”
The emperor was so shocked by this sudden address that he felt numb all over.
His nickname was only used by his mother, and Sheng Xiyan was the second one.
"Yanyan, this is the first time you called me by my nickname. Do you feel my heart beating fast?"
Sheng Xiyan thought to herself, shouldn't I give you some sweet talk first before I tell you about my bad deeds? Otherwise, you'll get angry again...
"Lingling, I want to tell you something. You can't be angry with me after hearing it."
"Speak, I'm not angry."

Wang Yuanpan and several imperial physicians examined each patient's pulse. Xuan Ling said firmly, "Speak."
The Queen Mother asked, "How many months is she pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Madam Sheng is almost four months pregnant."
Xuan Ling said sternly, "It's been less than three months since Sheng Xiyan asked to leave the palace. She is definitely pregnant with a dragon fetus. Who still has doubts?"
Empress Duan and the four concubines knelt down in panic: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
Judge Wang said, "Also, Madam Sheng is pregnant with her third child. She must take good care of the pregnancy."
How many?
several?
Xuan Ling opened his thin lips in surprise and squeezed Sheng Xiyan's hand tightly, causing her to scream in pain.
