Chapter 12: The Emperor Without Heirs VS the Stunning Concubine



Gu Qingqing was shocked and angry, her face was a little distorted.

The entire Dayu Dynasty knew about the old emperor's physical condition. Why was it that other women couldn't get pregnant, but Gu Wanying could?

If this isn't stealing, what is?

"Gu Wanying, are you going to kill our whole family?" Gu Qingqing was very angry. She was sure that Gu Wanying had conceived the child out of an affair, so she was pregnant by an affair.

Gu Qingqing's sharp roar instantly destroyed everyone's ecstatic atmosphere.

Yuetao spoke up for Gu Wanying, while Feicui asked the accompanying eunuch to bring the imperial physician into the palace and quickly report the good news to the emperor.

With a "snap" sound, Gu Xiang's palm went numb. "Shut up! Someone, lock the Second Young Lady in the woodshed! Don't let her out without my permission!"

Soon, two strong old maids came in, one on the left and one on the right, held Gu Qingqing's arms and dragged her out.

When passing by Sun Chongming, Gu Qingqing grabbed his arm and said, "Gu Wanying is pregnant. How could she be pregnant? The old emperor is old and weak and can no longer have children. How could she be pregnant? I don't believe it! She must have cheated on me!"

Gu Qingqing looked crazy, but what she said shocked Sun Chongming.

So she was actually pregnant with a dragon seed? As for the last sentence, Sun Chongming didn't hear it at all.

So many women in the harem haven't gotten pregnant for so many years, but she got pregnant?

He was shocked at her good fortune, and felt lost that she didn't have him in her heart. The sounds from the outside world seemed to disappear, leaving only his rapid breathing.

Is she pregnant?

How could she get pregnant?

Doesn’t she have herself in her heart?

For a moment, this panic mixed with unwillingness surged into his heart, almost destroying his sanity.

He seemed to rush in and ask her if she was living up to their vows.

Is she worthy of his friendship for her?

Until a hand landed heavily on his shoulder, the overwhelming resentment that was about to drown him suddenly receded like a tide, and his rationality returned in an instant.

"My dear nephew, thank you so much for bringing Wanying back just now. It's all thanks to you." Gu Xiang smiled, but it was a bit forced. "Just don't say a word about what happened here today, especially the fact that you brought Wanying back. If the emperor knew about it, both our families would be killed."

Since this matter concerns the emperor's concubines, Sun Chongming certainly knows the seriousness of the situation.

Not only is she the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but now she is also the emperor's concubine!

Why did he just let his unwillingness get the better of him?

He suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart.

Minister Gu's eyes fell on his clenched fists. "Relax, the imperial physician said your majesty is fine. Go and treat your wound as well."

Only then did Sun Chongming realize the pain in the palm of his hand. It turned out that he had clenched his fist too tightly, and his nails dug into the palm of his hand, causing blood to flow out.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. I'm glad the queen is alright." Sun Chongming bowed to him and said, "I'll take care of it right away. I won't tell anyone about the queen's affairs. Please rest assured, uncle."

Minister Gu was pleased with his sensibleness and nodded, letting him leave first.

Seeing Sun Chongming's big reaction, Prime Minister Gu could only think that he couldn't bear to see a woman get hurt. As for whether he still had feelings for Gu Wanying, he didn't dare to think too much about it.

Gu Wanying is now lying on the bed. With the help of the fertility system, she is no longer in pain. Although that pain just now looked scary, the baby in her belly is actually stable.

She knew how much the emperor and the empress dowager valued this offspring, and she would soon give birth to her first baby!

Gu Wanying had Gu Chenshi by her side, and the mother and daughter seemed to have endless things to talk about. Gu Chenshi no longer had the feeling that Gu Wanying had suffered great hardships since entering the palace.

Instead, his face was flushed and he was crying with joy. Looking at Gu Wanying crying and laughing, he didn't know what to do.

After hearing the news, she walked around the room happily, sometimes clasping her hands together to thank God, and sometimes worrying that Gu Wanying would have morning sickness. She was very busy.

It was only after Gu Wanying persuaded her not to get too tired that she reluctantly sat on the embroidery stool.

"Madam, this is wonderful! Your Majesty will have someone to rely on in the palace from now on!" Yue Tao was also crying with joy, "This servant will definitely burn more incense to the Bodhisattva and ask her to bless our Majesty!"

"Good girl, thank you for your hard work." Gu Chen was very satisfied with the maid and then said to Gu Wanying, "Yingying, does it still hurt?"

Gu Wanying shook her head weakly, and Yuetao wiped her cheeks, leaving her fair and tender face with a slight blush.

"In the first three months, you must avoid walking too much, lifting heavy objects, and anything like that." Gu Chen was afraid that she was young and ignorant, and if she indulged in pleasure for a while, it would be a serious harm to her body!

Gu Wanying's face flushed red when she heard this. How could such a thing be discussed openly?

Who said the ancients were conservative?

Compared to her mother, she is simply a pure little white rabbit, okay?

Seeing that Gu Wanying had no other reaction except blushing, Gu Chen knew that she was shy, so she stopped talking about this topic and then brought up her relationship with other concubines in the palace. She should avoid them if possible, take a step back and the sky will be clear, be patient for a while and the situation will be calm. She must not be arrogant and domineering just because she is pregnant and make others lose face for no reason.

Gu Wanying nodded in agreement.

This pure and unadulterated motherly love really made her feel unprecedented warmth!

"Mom, if you keep talking, I don't want to go back to the palace. It's best to be by your side." Gu Wanying grabbed her arm like a spoiled child and kept rubbing her face against it.

Gu Chen closed her mouth. Seeing her like this, her heart softened. She seemed to remember when Gu Wanying was just born. She was such a tiny ball. She didn't expect that she would grow so big in the blink of an eye. Moreover, her daughter was about to become a mother.

As she thought about it, tears started to flow again, which scared Gu Wanying.

What's going on? Why is my mother crying again?

"Mom, don't cry. Can't I just stop talking?" Gu Wanying wanted to sit up, but Gu Chen held her shoulder, so she had to lie down again.

"Mom is happy. Our Ying'er is going to be a mother. She will be an adult from now on. How can she still act like a spoiled child in front of mom like this?" Gu Chen carefully covered Gu Wanying with a quilt, with love in her eyes.

When Gu Xiang came in, he saw this scene of mother and daughter being so happy. He had heard what was said just now, and he felt so much emotion in his heart. This little daughter was going to become a mother too. Time passed so quickly.

Although the Gu Xiangfu residence was bustling with activity, the situation in the palace was turbulent.
