The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Emperor Dingde was imprisoned in the clan house by Qi Yuanshuo.

Qi Yuanshuo was trying to secure the throne and had no time to deal with him for the time being, so he just had his people serve him well and keep him under close surveillance to prevent him from committing suicide or contacting the outside world.

Emperor Dingde was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at the tightly closed door and cursed Qi Yuanshuo, Queen Wei, Gu Qinghuai, Prince Yi... His voice became hoarse, but no one paid any attention to him.

Even the guards and eunuchs dared to speak harshly to him, and even pushed him rudely.

What Emperor Dingde didn't know was that Qi Yuanshuo deliberately asked the eunuchs and guards who had been punished by Emperor Dingde for his temper and anger to look after him.

These guards and eunuchs naturally would not miss the opportunity to take revenge.

Although they dared not harm Emperor Dingde physically, they could trample on him spiritually, destroying his dignity and making him lose face, like a stray dog, with its tail between its legs.

Qi Yuanxiu took the initiative to give up the position of crown prince, and was the first to stand up to support Qi Yuanshuo, and called on everyone to support him to sit on the throne.

Before, he agreed to restore the position of crown prince just to hold the position for his younger brother, not because he really wanted to be emperor.

Since the day the two brothers decided to return to the imperial capital, they had already discussed who would be the emperor in the future.

Qi Yuanxiu was tired of the life of intrigue and deception, and did not want to be involved in the cage anymore. He only wanted to be an idle prince who did not care about worldly affairs. When Qi Yuanshuo's throne was stable, he retired to the mountain village, where he lived a carefree life and traveled around every day.

Qi Yuanshuo then named him Prince Xiuyi, granted him a mansion with five courtyards, and made the title of prince hereditary.

Although Prince Yi was saddened by the fall of the Great Xia Kingdom, he was completely relieved when he thought that the emperor was still his nephew and that the descendants of the old Qi family were in power. It was just a change of name for the court, but the Yuanhuai Kingdom still belonged to their old Qi family.

What's more, Emperor Dingde was indeed too harsh on Xiu'er, Shuo'er and the emperor's mother's family, so he deserved the revenge from his own son.

After realizing this, Prince Yi also stood up to support Qi Yuanshuo.

The strongest opposition came from the Queen Mother, the Fourth Prince and others.

The Empress Dowager pointed at Qi Yuanshuo's nose and cursed him for betraying his teacher and ancestors, humiliating his elders, and being an unfilial son who would go to the eighteenth level of hell.

He scolded Wei Ruochun for being fickle, having an affair with an old eunuch, and having two sons who were ungrateful and disobedient to their ancestors, and were bastards of the royal family.

He called Gu Qinghuai a slut, a second-hand commodity, a disaster to the country and the people, and said that she seduced the prince and instigated the prince to rebel, which was a heinous crime.

Qi Yuanshuo took tough measures and directly deposed the Empress Dowager, and had a nanny sew up her mouth with a needle.

Back then, he remembered how the old woman helped Concubine Liang Shufei bully his mother. Now he wanted to let her taste the feeling of being bullied.

Moreover, the extermination of the entire Wei family was also caused by this old woman, and he would not forgive her easily.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

After she woke up, she promised not to curse anymore, and the nanny who was taking care of her helped her remove the stitches on her mouth.

The Queen Mother's lips were red and swollen, and she shouted in a trembling voice that she wanted to see Prince Yi.

Prince Yi is her biological son, there is no way she would ignore him.

She wanted to leave this dirty and smelly place, she didn't want to eat the hard-to-swallow pig food, she wanted to bathe with milk every day, wear silk and satin, and she wanted all women to kneel down to her.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yi refused to see her and even had someone tell her that her only son was Emperor Dingde and that a loser like her was not worthy of being her son. If she stayed there obediently, Ah Shuo would spare her life.

The Queen Mother was stunned. She simply couldn't believe that her youngest son, who had never dared to disobey her, would ignore her.

In the past, she had indeed told Prince Yi many times why she gave birth to such a loser like Prince Yi, and that Prince Yi was just a tool to protect Emperor Dingde and was not worthy of being her son.

Prince Yi had indeed long lost his heart to the Empress Dowager, and would do whatever he wanted to her as long as Ah Shuo could spare her life.

As for the Fourth Prince, Qi Yuanshuo sent him directly to a small fiefdom and ordered people to keep him under strict supervision.

Anyway, the Fourth Prince has been given a chronic poison by the Third Prince, Concubine Liang and others, and he won't live long.

If the Fourth Prince did not intend to go against Qi Yuanshuo, Gu Qinghuai could still save his life, but if he remained stubborn, he would only be waiting for death.

Many generals in the Imperial Guards were once subordinates of the Duke of Wei and several generals of the Wei family. After the case of the crown prince's rebellion was investigated, they were extremely disappointed with the emperor. Qi Yuanshuo instigated them to rebel without much effort.

Now, the Imperial Guards only obey Qi Yuanshuo's orders, and the guards in the palace are all members of the Imperial Guards. Therefore, those in the imperial capital who want to resist Qi Yuanshuo dare not act rashly.

Of course, Qi Yuanshuo also helped those "loyal ministers" who risked their lives to give advice on justice. Anyway, many officials were just sitting in their positions and doing nothing, and he wanted to deal with them anyway.

For a time, the imperial capital was engulfed in blood and gore, and people were in a state of panic and fear.

After several months of vigorous organization, Qi Yuanshuo finally secured the throne, and no one in the court dared to question him anymore.

It was at this time that Gu Qinghuai gave birth to quintuplets, all boys.

After taking the pregnancy-preserving and fertility-promoting pills, the childbirth process was indeed very easy and the pain was not obvious. Gu Qinghuai felt as if he was taking a shit and he passed out five red, wrinkled little cubs.

The difficulty of the case was such that it was a waste for the more than one hundred famous doctors and dozens of highly skilled midwives that Qi Yuanshuo had found, and it was also a waste for Qi Yuanshuo to worry day and night so much that he couldn't eat or sleep well.

However, if giving birth to quintuplets was too easy, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Gu Qinghuai still pretended a little and howled like a ghost for a while.

In order to make it appear realistic, at the moment when Xiaowu was separated from the mother's body, she shook her head with sweat all over her body and "fainted", which scared the midwives.

Fortunately, after a cup of tea, she "woken up" again.

In fact, pretending to be dizzy is very tiring.

Three days after giving birth to quintuplets, Gu Qinghuai's belly returned to its original state, smoother and tighter than that of a girl who had not given birth. The lochia was also completely discharged, and her body was as relaxed and full of energy as before.

If giving birth is so easy and enjoyable for women, if there is someone to take good care of them, if there is no pressure to survive, and if there is no bad words said to them, perhaps everyone would be willing to give birth.

Gu Qinghuai was naturally willing to continue giving birth. The children she gave birth to were her closest relatives. As long as she did not raise them in the wrong way, the children would love her, protect her and accompany her.

Qi Yuanshuo was so happy that he hugged Gu Qinghuai's face and kissed him dozens of times, crying and laughing, before he turned his head to look at his own cubs. The five cubs were lying side by side in the small wooden bed, their bodies covered with thin quilts, with only five red little heads exposed, as pink as newly opened petals.

Although they are quintuplets, each of the five children has his or her own unique look. Their face shapes and facial features are very delicate. They have inherited the strengths of their parents and will definitely be handsome young men when they grow up.
