Mrs. Bai woke up with a smile. After opening her eyes, she looked at Mother Chang in front of the bed. She stretched lazily and asked, "Qiu Ling, I dreamed of two very cute little snakes, a little black snake and a little white snake."
After hearing this, Mother Chang frowned and said, "Could it be that the young lady is pregnant with twins this time? How come the imperial physician couldn't find it? No, I have to find another doctor."
After hearing this, Bai finally realized she had been dreaming about pregnancy. Twins? In her previous life, her first pregnancy was a son, and the second was probably a daughter, but she hadn't even seen them.
After touching her belly, Mrs. Bai comforted her, "Don't worry, it's possible that twins can't be diagnosed."
After getting up in the morning, Bai was interrupted by Xiangyun who came in while she was having dinner. Xiangyun knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Madam, the new emperor will ascend the throne in three days."
Good, that's great. As long as the capital doesn't get into chaos, I'll be able to have a safe pregnancy this time. I'm almost 20 now, and I'm in excellent health. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I'll definitely give birth to a healthy boy.
The food and water have already been prepared. Stay in the secret room for the next three days until the new emperor successfully ascends the throne. No matter how powerful those evil spirits are, they can't break into the secret room set up by the old marquis.
Elsewhere in the palace, Xu Wen, who had entered the palace the previous day, was unable to leave. Xu Lin and Princess Jinyi had to help the Crown Prince consolidate his position, so Xu Wen took on the responsibility of caring for the young princess.
In the middle of the night, upon hearing that the princes in the southwest seemed to be making unusual moves, the Crown Prince urgently dispatched Gu Yankai from Sichuan and Yunnan. Whether he wanted to directly eliminate the princes or simply keep them on guard, there was no time to lose, and he hurriedly sent an 800-li express.
General Gan outside the city is still in his prime, and he guards the defense line outside the city without closing his eyes all day and all night.
The mausoleums of the emperor and empress had long been repaired, and now a mourning hall had been set up according to the rules, and the royal family was summoned to the palace to mourn. However, once inside the palace, they could not leave until the new emperor ascended the throne.
The imperial clan members who were hiding from entering the palace would be summoned by the city guards. By the afternoon of the emperor and empress's coffin, all the imperial clan members in the capital had entered the palace.
Princess Jinyi's face showed no emotion during the day, but at night she wept uncontrollably. On the third day, Xu Wen handed the little princess to her and said, "Your Majesty loves the princess the most. If she knew how heartbroken she was after leaving, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace."
Princess Jinyi, who had always loved her mother deeply, stared blankly at the young princess after hearing this. The young princess stretched out her white and tender hands to touch Princess Jinyi's face. She babbled as if to comfort her. Princess Jinyi looked at the young princess like this and choked up, "I can't let my mother go without peace of mind."
She took the hot handkerchief handed to her by Xu Wen, wiped her face with it, and then said to the little princess, "Mother, I will live a good life. In the next life, I will still be your daughter."
Xu Wen wiped her eyes, turned around, and tears streamed down her face. Empress Jing'an had been both her teacher and friend, and now she couldn't accept her passing. Her heart felt like a huge hole, but looking at her two young children, she could only grit her teeth and remain calm.
Looking up at the bright moon outside the window like a silver plate, Xu Wen thought to herself: My Queen, if there is an afterlife, can we be friends again?
The prince stood at the door of the imperial study, looking at the bright moon in the sky and slowly shedding a tear. He raised his hand towards the moon for a moment, then put it down again, and then sighed deeply.
