Chapter 31 A Childless Middle-Aged Man in His Thirties



"His Majesty has arrived."

Princess Changning's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that the Emperor had arrived.

She felt that if the emperor came at this time, it must be for the sake of the child in her womb.

From this perspective, the emperor must have attached great importance to the child in her womb.

Once she finds a suitable child outside, she will send the child to the palace. In that case, the world will soon be in her hands.

When Mo Yuhan came in, he saw Jiang Jingyue standing there with her head down and couldn't help but frown.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

When she saw Mo Yuhan arrive, the Empress Dowager was extremely excited. She immediately grabbed Mo Yuhan's hand and spoke with great emotion, her eyes reddening.

"Your Majesty, your elder sister is pregnant, and she has said that the child will be raised by me and adopted by you. That way, you won't have to worry about having no heir. Your elder sister's child has royal blood, so the ministers won't say anything more."

When Mo Yuhan heard about this, she couldn't help but frown, but seeing how happy the Empress Dowager was, she didn't say anything more.

His appearance led the Empress Dowager to assume that Mo Yuhan was simply too happy and didn't know what to say, which was why he remained silent.

"Consort Jing, hurry up and come here to help the Princess peel melon seeds. The child will be transferred to your name, and I will raise it."

Jiang Jingyue raised her head, glanced at Mo Yuhan, and then walked up step by step, as if she was preparing to go up and help the princess with her work.

Hearing the Empress Dowager say that, and seeing the little woman's wronged look just now, Mo Yuhan simply couldn't bear it.

He walked up to Jiang Jingyue in an instant, while Jiang Jingyue was silently counting in her mind. When she finished counting, it would be almost time for Princess Changning.

Jiang Jingyue thought that if Mo Yuhan still didn't stop her after she got up there, then that scoundrel was beyond saving.

Fortunately, Jiang Jingyue had only taken a few steps when Mo Yuhan pulled her into his arms.

"Mother, does Changning not have hands? If she can't peel it herself, isn't there a servant? Don't think that just because she has a child she's so great, and she wants to order my concubines around. Who gave her the nerve?"

When the Empress Dowager heard Mo Yuhan say this, she was stunned. She thought that since Changning was willing to give up her child for him, the Emperor should be very grateful. But why did the Emperor look so unhappy and even a little angry?

But she couldn't care less about anything else now. The most important thing was the child in Changning's belly. As long as she had this child, the ministers in the court would have no objections.

No matter what, she could never get the emperor to listen to that minister and make Prince Cheng the crown prince; he was simply not worthy.

"Your Majesty, how can you speak like that? Right now, the most important thing is the child in Changning's belly. The child in her belly is our hope."

"It's just asking Consort Jing to peel some melon seeds; it's not a difficult task."

Jiang Jingyue, nestled in Mo Yuhan's arms, reached out and tugged at his clothes.

"Your Majesty, since the princess wants to eat the melon seeds that I peeled myself, I will peel them for her! It's all for the sake of the child. It's just that I don't know why, I feel a little dizzy and like I need to sleep. How about I peel the melon seeds for the princess after I've slept better?"

After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she didn't give Mo Yuhan any time to react before closing her eyes.

Mo Yuhan was startled by Jiang Jingyue's appearance. He looked up and stared coldly at the two people above him.

Without a trace of emotion, Mo Yuhan said, "Mother, don't worry. If you like this child, you can raise him. However, I will not appoint him as Crown Prince."

After saying this, Mo Yuhan looked at another person and slowly spoke.

"You'd better pray that Consort Jing is alright, otherwise I won't let you off the hook."

After saying this, Mo Yuhan carried Jiang Jingyue and walked out of the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace with a fierce expression on his face.

As soon as she stepped outside, Jiang Jingyue secretly opened her eyes.

"System, do you think it's possible to diagnose my pregnancy now if the imperial physician is consulted? I remember it can be detected in about two weeks."

System: "No, it will take about half a month more. It's still too young. Host, don't forget where you are now. This is not a technologically advanced place. Without advanced equipment, there is no way to find out so quickly."

The system's words made Jiang Jingyue suddenly realize that since it couldn't be seen now, she didn't need to pretend to be unconscious anymore.

She had just been planning to feign unconsciousness so that Mo Yuhan could find the imperial physician and announce her pregnancy. But now that even the imperial physician couldn't tell, her feigned unconsciousness seemed pointless.

However, it wouldn't be good to wake up all at once, otherwise it would definitely arouse Mo Yuhan's suspicion.

Therefore, Jiang Jingyue chose to remain unconscious and wait to see what the imperial physician had to say.

Mo Yuhan immediately carried Jiang Jingyue into her palace, and Su Changde also arrived with the imperial physician.

As soon as the imperial physician entered, he saw the emperor's face and his legs trembled.

What he was thinking was, why was he so unlucky today? Everyone else was on leave, and he was the only one left in the entire Imperial Hospital. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to come to the Emperor's palace at all.

"Your Majesty, I wish you a long and peaceful life."

Mo Yuhan had no interest in listening to what he was saying and immediately waved his hand, telling him to get up.

"Come here and check on Consort Jing. What's wrong with her? Why is she still unconscious?"

The imperial physician initially thought he had come to the emperor's bedchamber because something had happened to the emperor, but he didn't expect there to be another person inside.

However, he did whatever the emperor told him to do.

Adhere to the principle of asking as few questions as possible and looking as little as possible.

In this palace, the most taboo thing is to look too much or ask too many questions. Sometimes, even if you can hear something, you have to pretend you can't.

"Your Majesty, please pull Consort Jing's hand out a little so I can take her pulse."

Mo Yuhan immediately walked behind Jiang Jingyue and hugged her in his arms, so that the imperial physician could better take Jiang Jingyue's pulse.

As soon as the imperial physician took his pulse, his brows furrowed. Mo Yuhan, who had been watching from the side, felt a bad premonition when he saw the physician's expression.
