Ning Yu yawned, canceled the daily greetings with the concubines, and was about to go to bed to catch up on some sleep when a strong arm pulled her into his arms.
Chu Hewang stared at the red mark on Ning Yu's shoulder, his eyes gradually turned scarlet, his throat felt a little dry, he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
She was the emperor's empress, so it was natural for her to perform the Zhougong rituals.
And he was just a minister.
Ning Yu smelled the familiar breath, and her originally stiff back suddenly relaxed. She leaned in his arms and asked lazily, "Why are you here?"
Chu Hewang stared at Ning Yu with eyes full of bitterness and discomfort, "I came here last night..."
Ning Yu was stunned when she heard this. "...You stayed on the roof all night?"
Chu Hewang nodded.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she actually saw a hint of grievance from the Master Seal. He was like a puppy wet by the rain, with black pupils, just looking at you.
"It's my fault."
Ning Yu subconsciously raised her hand and touched his head.
Thinking that Chu Hewang was so aggrieved, he probably thought she had had sex with the emperor. Ning Yu pursed her lips and explained softly.
"These marks on my body were caused by me myself, so there's no need to think too much about it."
Chu Hewang thought Ning Yu was comforting him, so he said this deliberately. He said in a gloomy tone, "I know you are comforting me. As long as the queen has me in her heart, that's enough..."
Ning Yu was so angry that she wanted to laugh, "Believe it or not."
Chu Hewang was stunned for a moment, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He turned Ning Yu around and made her look at him, "He really didn't touch you?"
Although he didn't care whether Ning Yu was innocent or not, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when the emperor touched him, as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Ning Yu didn't want to disappoint Chu Hewang, so she nodded slightly.
Chu Hewang's eyes flashed with joy. Perhaps the Queen also had feelings for him? Otherwise, why would she reject the Emperor?
"Won't the emperor find out about this?" A trace of worry flashed across Chu Hewang's eyes.
Ning Yu thought about it and decided to tell Chu Hewang about her pregnancy.
She had originally considered hiding it from him, but Chu Hewang always came to Kunning Palace, and it would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to tell him in advance.
Chu Hewang was stunned. He looked at Ning Yu's abdomen and said in a hoarse voice, "...My child is here?"
Ning Yu nodded, "I'm afraid of being discovered, so I haven't asked the imperial physician to come and take my pulse yet."
Ever since Chu Hewang knew that Ning Yu might be pregnant, he quickly and secretly invited a doctor over, disguised himself, and brought her to Kunning Palace under the cover of night.
The doctor was wearing a black belt and couldn't see anything clearly. His voice was trembling, "Sir, can you please let me take it off? I really can't see it!"
Chu Hewang's expression was cold, his voice full of murderous intent, "If you can't see it, then kill me."
When the doctor heard this, he was so scared that his legs almost went weak.
Suddenly, a voice as clear as a silver bell was heard, "Okay, don't scare him, doctor, please help me take a look."
The doctor, guided by Li Xiang, placed his hand on Ning Yu's pulse for a long time, his face full of joy, "Congratulations, Madam! You are two months pregnant."
Chu Hewang's handsome face was filled with joy, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he warned the doctor a few times before sending him back.
Then he hurried back.
Chu Hewang's voice was filled with anticipation and a bit of nervousness, "Your Majesty, may I touch you?"
Ning Yu rarely saw Chu Hewang like this. She smiled and placed his big hand on her abdomen. "Okay, but you shouldn't feel anything now."
Chu Hewang didn't know how long his hand had been on his abdomen. Although there was no movement, he seemed to really feel a little life.
It turned out that there really was a child here belonging to him and Ning Yu.
Since confirming that Ning Yu was pregnant, Chu Hewang always visited her at night and often brought some food suitable for pregnant women.
A month later.
The queen was feeling unwell, so she sent someone to ask the imperial physician to take her pulse, and the doctor diagnosed that she was one month pregnant.
The imperial physician had naturally been bribed by Chu Hewang a long time ago, and with the system in place, the pregnant belly was not obvious, just slightly larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
When the emperor learned about this, he didn't even care about the memorials and ministers in the imperial study, and hurried to Kunning Palace to visit Ning Yu.
Ning Yu was about to salute the emperor when he quickly supported her. Her face was filled with joy. "Empress, if this baby is a prince, would it be okay for me to make him the crown prince?"
This can be considered as compensation for the Queen's two children who died prematurely and had miscarriages.
