Li Yu asked the system, wanting to know about the matters related to giving birth in human form, which were definitely different from those in fish form.

He had stuffed a small pillow into his clothes before, but pretending was definitely different from true love, and he was even more afraid that if he gave birth to four daughters at once, he would not be able to do it after giving birth.

The system introduced the task of giving birth to a son or daughter in great detail. It roughly knew that the host would often be unreliable, and told Li Yu with certainty that a human form could only give birth to one child at a time.

Finally, Li Yu's heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, was suppressed.

He still had the courage to give birth to only one child, and the human form also had its advantages. Now they were in the imperial city, under the emperor's eyes. The fish form was convenient and painless, but there were many risks. Although King Jing told him not to worry and said that everything would be properly arranged, if the emperor found out, it would be a huge disaster, and it would also implicate King Jing and the four babies. But if he gave birth in human form, only he would suffer, King Jing and the four babies would be safe, and King Jing's previous arrangements in the western frontier could be restored.

Let's just leave it like this, Li Yu thought righteously.

The system gave Li Yu a lot of common sense about human pregnancy. Generally speaking, it is not much different from human pregnancy. It also told him that human pregnancy will directly give birth to a normal baby, and will not turn into a fish. It does not need to be hatched into a young fish like the eggs laid by fish, and the young fish must complete tasks to turn into a human. Although the whole process is hard for him, there is no external risk for the child, which is another reason why Li Yu is willing to try it soon.

He has confirmed from the system that his daughter is pregnant, but the belly of the human is still very flat, because humans usually show pregnancy after three months, and Li Yu is not in a hurry.

King Jing is another father. He hid the pregnancy last time, and he felt bad, so he must not hide it this time. As for the emperor, Li Yu hopes to wait until the month is a little older before informing.

King Jing is now the only legitimate prince that the emperor values. There are too many people eyeing them, including poisoners and assassins. If the news is revealed too early, Li Yu is worried that someone will target the unborn child. He is wearing a palace book and does not want to make any mistakes.

Li Yu first revealed the news of pregnancy to King Jing. I remember that when King Jing became a father for the first time, he was dizzy when he learned that Li Yu had laid eggs. Now that he learned that Li Yu was pregnant with a daughter and would give birth to the child in human form, King Jing was overwhelmed with happiness at first, but he felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Yu, you..."

King Jing's inquiring eyes fell on Li Yu's flat abdomen. If he gave birth in human form, wouldn't he also have to endure the pain of childbirth?

Li Yu understood and nodded.

King Jing paused, realizing how great a sacrifice this would be, and held Li Yu's hand tightly.

King Jing was very moved that Xiaoyu could easily give birth to a child in fish form, but was still willing to endure the pain of childbirth in human form.

King Jing knew very well in his heart who this was for.

He decided that just this once, at least before he completely took power, he would not let Xiaoyu suffer such pain again.

After that, no matter how many little fish Xiaoyu wanted, he would help hatch them.

"I will never let you suffer again." King Jing promised.

Li Yu was also infected by his emotions, and looked at King Jing with red eyes.

With this promise, the pain didn't seem to be a big deal.

In the past, in the western frontier, King Jing asked Li Yu to pretend to be pregnant, but he took good care of Li Yu. King Jing knew more about the pregnancy than Li Yu herself. After learning that Li Yu was pregnant, he immediately found a subordinate who was good at obstetrics and gynecology to check Li Yu's pulse on time every day.

The daughter was too young to reveal it to the outside world, but some taboos had to be paid attention to. In addition to daily pulse checks, King Jing also added servants to take care of Li Yu, and ordered them to follow Li Yu at all times to ensure that Li Yu would not bump into anything.

He did not tell the children in advance because he was afraid that they would accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Li Yu used to hold them in his arms, but he could not hold them recently. However, Yu's father did not ignore the treasures because of this. He still often played with them, told them stories, and taught them the principles of life.

Hearing that if you want to have a second child, you have to take care of the older child's emotions, Li Yu was afraid that the children would be wronged.

But so far, that is not the case at all. Li Yu once tentatively asked what would happen if Daddy gave birth to another sister. The eyes of the first, second, third, and fourth children all lit up, and they all thought of Uncle Ye's little sister.

"We want a sister!" The children said happily.

The children did not reject it, and Li Yu was relieved. A human form can only give birth to one child at a time. According to the enthusiasm between him and King Jing, there may be more brothers and sisters in the future.

Li Yu has begun to take care of the fetus. In addition to waiting for news from the emperor, King Jing has also begun to investigate the assassin in Jingtai Palace. King Jing himself has investigated before, but because he was in the wrong direction, he did not find any useful clues. This time, due to Li Yu's reminder, King Jing realized that the power behind the assassin might be the one who poisoned him. The two of them had speculated that Xue Wuzi came from Loulan. King Jing looked for many ancient books about Loulan and found a suspicious record in a book called Loulan National History.

"The people of Loulan are good at fighting and poison. When the two armies face each other, they often leave the opponent's body without a trace."

Although this national history did not mention the specific practices of the Loulan people, according to the description, it was somewhat consistent with the corpse-dissolving water.

The corpse-dissolving water was originally named by Xiaoyu. King Jing thought it was appropriate and used it himself.

This clue found in the national history made King Jing more inclined to Xiaoyu's conclusion. It is really possible that the same force is playing tricks.

The history of Loulan also records the life of Chang'an Jun, the last king of Loulan. Chang'an Jun angered the emperor and the two countries became enemies. Although Loulan people were good at fighting, they were a small country and could not withstand the iron cavalry of the dynasty. Chang'an Jun resisted and held on to the end. He was captured alive by the great general of the dynasty and escorted to the imperial city.

The emperor was young and vigorous at that time. He would not be soft-hearted when treating captives. In order to save his life, Chang'an Jun had no choice but to offer his daughter as the emperor's concubine in exchange for freedom

. When King Jing was reading the history of Loulan, Li Yu was also reading with King Jing, under the pretext of giving the little cotton shirt prenatal education. King Jing spoiled him and let him do whatever he wanted. If Xiaoyu was tired, he would let him sleep against him. God knows that little cotton-padded jacket is only a few days old, and it is not even a ball in Yu's belly. At this time, the prenatal education is also for Yu's own benefit.

The history of Loulan Kingdom is full of twists and turns, and Li Yu did not fall asleep for the first time.

Li Yu also saw the following records, and found a pen to mark it heavily.

The emperor did have a foreign concubine.

But there is no such person who meets the conditions in the harem today.

What does this mean?

If a concubine disappears, it means either death or expulsion.

Li Yu remembered that when he mentioned foreigners, the emperor's expression seemed to be in deep thought.

If all this is really related to the long-extinct Loulan, did the emperor remember the former concubine Loulan?

But the emperor said nothing.

In fact, if you want to know the situation of the emperor's concubine, you can also ask Steward Luo.

But unfortunately, Steward Luo went to investigate the witnesses related to Pu Liu's poisoning for the emperor, and he has not returned to the palace yet.

Li Yu originally thought that he would know after Steward Luo came back. If you can't wait, maybe you can ask other people.

King Jing raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

There is an unknown force in the palace, and the truth should be found out as soon as possible. The assassin in Jingtai Hall failed and did not return. The other party is very likely to have realized that he has been discovered.

This is more difficult than several princes combined. It is hard to say what the other party will do next.

Late at night.

King Jing's guards, following King Jing's orders, brought back a person, a blindfolded woman in a black bag.

King Jing ordered Wang Xi to remove the cloth from the woman's eyes.

The woman was wearing shabby palace clothes and felt uncomfortable when she first saw the light. She squinted her eyes slightly and found that it was King Jing in front of her. She was very surprised and sneered repeatedly.

"What do you want to do by calling me here!" The woman looked at King Jing with hostility.

Li Yu was protected by King Jing and was a little far away. When he saw the woman's face and aura, he felt that she was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.

Until a cat rolled out of the bag with a "meow". The guards beside him said that they didn't know how the cat jumped in. Li Yu looked at the cat's dirty hair that could no longer recognize its original color, and the faded crabapple handkerchief in the woman's hand, and suddenly realized.

This is the noble concubine Liangliang, Qiu, who used to drink Qianli Soup!

And this cat is the enemy cat that Li Yu met when he first crossed into the book - Piaoxue.

Isn't Qiu in the cold palace? Why did King Jing order people to secretly bring Qiu out?

Li Yu pushed King Jing's arm, expressing his confusion.

King Jing could not reveal to the outside world that his muteness had healed, so he asked Wang Xi to inquire for him.

Wang Xi said, "Qiu, my prince has something to ask you. You should be smart and answer whatever he asks. If you want to play tricks, the prince can make you come out without anyone noticing, and can also make you go back without anyone noticing - carry you back!"

Qiu hated King Jing from the bottom of her heart and was unwilling to pay attention to him, but she was already in King Jing's hands and there was no other way. She stared at King Jing fiercely and said, "What do you want to do - What did you hear? "

King Jing glanced at Wang Xi, who said, "One of the emperor's concubines is from Loulan."

Qiu was startled and smiled smugly, "She's already dead. Why are you asking about her?"

Wang Xi scolded, "Your Highness told you to just say it. Stop talking nonsense!"

King Jing meant that, apart from Luo Zongguan, the older concubines of the emperor who had been with the emperor for a long time would definitely know about the concubine from Loulan.

King Jing was not in a position to ask anyone else, except Qiu, who had been deposed by the emperor and sent to the cold palace. King Jing still had a way to meet her.

"Are you talking about Concubine Mei?"

If King Jing asked someone else, Qiu might not be able to answer, but she knew this person. The history of Loulan only recorded Chang'an Jun's daughter, and then this woman was beautiful. After entering the palace, the emperor awarded her a title, called Concubine Mei.

Li Yu's eyes lit up. There was a plum in the title of Concubine Mei, and those assassins had plum blossom patterns on their sword handles. Was this a coincidence?

Judging from the fact that the emperor rarely gave titles to concubines, the emperor must have liked Concubine Mei very much. Even Qiu herself, even though she was in the limelight later, did not have a title.

But Concubine Mei herself did not think so. She was presented to the emperor by her biological father, Chang'an Jun. She herself was unwilling to enter the palace, and three days after entering the palace, she attempted to assassinate the emperor and was sentenced to death by the emperor.

The emperor felt that it would be very dangerous if the person next to him had ulterior motives. From then on, he would no longer accept foreign concubines, and was angry with Chang'an Jun for this. Chang'an Jun was originally demoted to the lowest level of nobility, and because of Concubine Mei, all the royal family of Loulan were enslaved.

Mei Fei's story was very short, and it was told in just a few sentences. Qiu stood there.

King Jing ordered the guards to send Qiu back to the cold palace, and Qiu knelt down with gritted teeth.

"I have told you everything I know, can you also promise me one thing?"

King Jing looked at her and asked her to speak.

Li Yu thought Qiu wanted to take the opportunity to ask King Jing to let her leave the palace, after all, the cold palace was too hard to endure, but Qiu pointed at Piaoxue and whispered, "You can do whatever you want with this cat, I don't want it anymore."

Li Yu, King Jing: "..."

After Qiu finished speaking, she crawled into the cloth bag by herself. Her cat was about to follow, but Qiu did not give it any chance and scolded the cat.

Piaoxue seemed to be scolded often, and Qiu scolded it a few times, and it didn't dare to move.

When it finally raised its head, it found that its owner was gone.

Piaoxue roared miserably, and waited and waited, but Qiu never came back.

What should be done with this cat?

Li Yu was caught by Piaoxue in the form of a fish before. He had just crossed into the book at that time and was still a little confused about the situation, because fish and cats are natural enemies, and he did not have a good impression of Piaoxue.

If it was another small animal, maybe he could have kept it and raised it directly. What exactly did Qiu mean?

"Tianchi, can I..."

Piaoxue is just a cat after all, and has not actually done anything evil.
