She cautiously approached Jiang Jingyue, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"My...my master, if I didn't mishear the imperial physician, is it that you are pregnant?"
Seeing Qiu Hua's excited expression, Jiang Jingyue slowly nodded.
Qiu Hua became even more excited, her whole body pounding with excitement. She paced back and forth, seemingly unsure of what to do for a moment.
"My lady, I'll go prepare some things. His Majesty must still have something to say to you, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, Qiu Hua ran outside and closed the door behind her.
Mo Yuhan nodded in satisfaction. He liked this kind of sensible servant. Otherwise, a servant here would more or less hinder their conversation.
Seeing Qiu Hua leave, Mo Yuhan immediately looked at Jiang Jingyue and said.
"Yueyue, I've already told the imperial physicians not to spread the word. Let's wait three months before announcing the pregnancy! Do you agree?"
Jiang Jingyue nodded. How could she disagree? Even if Mo Yuhan hadn't said it that way, this was her plan anyway.
Because the women in the harem are like wolves and tigers, if they find out she is pregnant, they might do something to her.
With so many women in the harem, it was impossible to guard against them all. Jiang Jingyue could only wait until the children were a little older before announcing her pregnancy.
"Your Majesty, I certainly agree. I know that Your Majesty is doing this for the good of our child. We can announce it when the time is right."
Jiang Jingyue touched her stomach and looked at Mo Yuhan beside her in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, it's truly amazing! I'm actually pregnant! Are you happy?"
As Mo Yuhan looked at the little woman in front of him gently touching her belly, he suddenly felt a surge of emotion that he couldn't resist.
Mo Yuhan looked up at the sky, paused for a while, and then looked down again.
"I am happy, how could I not be happy? Yueyue, thank you, you are simply my lucky star! I am so happy, after the child is born, I will make you my empress."
Mo Yuhan lay on Jiang Jingyue's stomach, wanting to hear the baby's voice, but after lying there for a while, the baby inside still didn't move, which made Mo Yuhan somewhat disappointed.
"Yueyue, shouldn't babies move around in the womb? Why isn't your baby moving? Is it still sleeping?"
Jiang Jingyue shook her head upon hearing this and looked at Mo Yuhan to explain:
"Your Majesty, the children are still too young to sense anything. You'll have to wait until they're older to be able to perceive it; there's no way to do so now."
In fact, when Mo Yuhan asked that question, he realized that if even the imperial physician couldn't tell that she was pregnant right away, it meant that the pregnancy was still in its early stages.
Meanwhile, outside the palace, at the Prince Cheng's residence.
Prime Minister Jiang was inside Prince Cheng's residence, discussing something with Prince Cheng, and he seemed quite excited.
"Your Highness, I need to confirm this matter. If I'm not sure, I can't give you my consent. This is a very important matter, so we should make a proper plan."
Some of the other ministers nearby nodded and echoed his sentiments.
“That’s right! Your Highness, wait until tomorrow when we will submit a memorial to the Emperor to appoint you as Crown Prince. You are the only bloodline left by the late Emperor. Since the current Emperor cannot have another child, he can only abdicate and give way to a worthy successor. Let our Prince take your place.”
Hearing his ministers say this, King Cheng nodded in satisfaction. He liked these people; with them around, his ascension to the throne was not far off.
"Don't worry! As long as you all support me, you will definitely benefit from what I gain when I ascend to the throne."
At this moment, a minister suddenly spoke up hesitantly. He had recently heard some news, but he wasn't entirely sure and didn't know whether he should speak up.
After hesitating for quite some time, the minister finally spoke.
"Your Highness, I recently heard that Princess Changning is pregnant and has entered the palace to stay in the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace to rest and prepare for childbirth."
Do you think that if Princess Changning had given birth to a boy, the Emperor would have named him Crown Prince?
When the minister mentioned this news, the others present were somewhat shocked, mainly because they had never heard of it before and had no idea that such a thing existed.
When King Cheng heard the news, he immediately stood up, his whole body trembling with excitement.
“If Changning really has a child, then the problem you just mentioned doesn’t need to be considered at all. That guy Mo Yuhan will definitely make Changning’s child the crown prince, since he himself can’t have children.”
Upon thinking of this, King Cheng's face contorted with rage, and his aura instantly changed, becoming filled with murderous intent.
"Changning cannot be allowed to live. Find a few people to go into the palace and find a way to get rid of Changning."
The ministers were somewhat incredulous. Princess Changning was, after all, Prince Cheng's sister. They never expected that Prince Cheng would say such a thing.
However, since King Cheng was in a fit of anger, no one dared to contradict him and could only nod.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! I will definitely handle this matter for you. It's just that I still need to think of a way to get you into the palace."
Those who are most eager to stand out at this time often end up in a bad situation.
When King Cheng heard him say this, he nodded in satisfaction.
"I have complete confidence in entrusting this matter to you. You are the father of my future empress. Tell Shu'er that I will visit her when I have time."
King Cheng's words made Prime Minister Jiang's eyes light up instantly, filled with smug satisfaction. He was now extremely grateful that he had given birth to such a wonderful daughter.
If King Cheng succeeds, he will become the emperor's father-in-law, and he will have everything he wants. How glorious that will be!
"Your Highness, rest assured! I will definitely tell Shu'er what you said. Shu'er has been saying all this time that she misses you, Your Highness, because Prince Cheng hasn't come to see her."
When King Cheng heard Prime Minister Jiang say this, he nodded.
"I will go see her in a few days, so she can rest assured!"
The most important thing now is still the matter of Changning. They won't be able to rest easy until the matter of Changning is resolved.
If Changning were to actually give birth to a child and then be successfully made crown prince, then there would be nothing they could do.
As the crown prince, he will definitely have a large number of people protecting him. If they want to make a move, they may not be able to.
