"The Empress has been dutiful and has done her duty. Now that she has such a good day to rest, the Empress should not disturb her any further."
Hearing that the emperor was drinking heavily again, the empress had no choice but to come in person. Seeing his current state, the empress was speechless. If it weren't for the sake of the country, she wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
Lady Yue stood up from the emperor's embrace, walked to the empress, and said, "Your Majesty, you should go back soon, lest you displease the emperor."
The Empress glared at her, then reached out and shoved her aside. She took a step forward, but the woman fell down with a cry of pain.
The Empress frowned slightly and said, "I just touched you lightly and you fell down? Your movements are a bit too exaggerated."
The king rose from his seat and rebuked her, "Has the queen been too violent lately?" After saying that, the king also scolded her.
Empress Xueyue also pretended to fall to the ground.
The lord rolled his eyes at her: "You're the one who's really being pretentious." After saying that, the lord helped Lady Yue up, and then the two of them walked back.
The Empress, however, clutched her stomach and did not get up. The eunuch beside her thought she was unable to get down the steps, so he stepped forward.
But then they saw blood behind the Empress.
The eunuch exclaimed, "It's terrible! Quickly, call the imperial physician! Her Majesty the Empress is bleeding!"
Upon hearing the sound, the lord turned around, while the empress fainted and fell backward.
The lord frowned, beckoned, and said, "Quickly carry the Empress into the house."
Then the imperial physician rushed in, panting, and without even daring to rest, he quickly fed the Empress some hemostatic medicine. He had examined the Empress before, and when the physician mentioned continuous bleeding from her lower body, it was indeed a sign that she was pregnant.
After the bleeding stopped, we started treatment to prevent miscarriage. Unexpectedly, this pregnancy was so resilient. Although the process was difficult, we managed to save it.
The emperor dismissed everyone and asked, "Judging from the Empress's appearance, she is probably pregnant, isn't she?"
The imperial physician knew nothing about the matter, but thankfully he didn't say anything wrong.
"Your Majesty is indeed pregnant, and the pregnancy is currently quite stable. You must not get angry, otherwise you may miscarry."
The lord grunted and said, "You may leave."
After the imperial physician left, the lord sat by the couch and said helplessly, "I know that I probably won't be able to conceive a child in my entire life. As my wife, now that you are pregnant, I can't say whether it's good or bad. Do you expect me to pretend that nothing happened and treat the child as my own, so that it can grow up to be the crown prince?"
After saying this, the king sighed deeply: "If my relationship with the regent were better, I would probably wait for him to have a son to inherit the throne. After all, it would be the legitimate one."
After saying this, the lord got up and left.
The empress, who should have been in a deep sleep, slightly opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
After leaving, the emperor said to the imperial physician, "Don't announce the empress's pregnancy until the baby is stable."
"yes."
After the royal physician agreed, the lord left.
