Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

After making these decisions, Tinghe quietly accompanied the Queen and served as a diligent and responsible second-class maid. However, now she is a first-class maid. Ever since Hongyu was killed by Mo Mingkong, the Queen was so scared that she almost had a miscarriage. It was Tinghe who gave her a few injections to stabilize her mind. She couldn't help but complain in her heart that although the Queen was kind, she was too timid. She was always like a frightened bird, scaring herself.

Fortunately, Tinghe was here, otherwise, the Queen's pregnancy would have been in danger of being saved. However, it was her mission to protect the Queen's safety and ensure the safe birth of the little prince.

The wings of time gently brush past, the traces of the years gradually appear, time quietly slides through the fingertips, as delicate as silk, as hard to retain as sand...

Soon, the queen was due to give birth.

On this day, an atmosphere of tension and anticipation filled the Kunning Palace. Palace maids and eunuchs were busy shuttling between the palaces, preparing everything that was needed.

Emperor Dayong paced anxiously outside the delivery room, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, his eyes filled with tension and concern. After all, this was his first child, so he always had more expectations.

In the delivery room, the midwives were focused and constantly encouraged the queen. Ting He Li fed the queen a pill to strengthen her body, and the queen tightly grasped the quilt, her forehead and hair soaked with sweat. Every labor pain made her almost faint, but for the sake of the child, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Outside Kunning Palace, the newly appointed concubines by Emperor Yong were praying silently, hoping that the empress could give birth to a son or a princess. In the court, the ministers were also hoping silently that the arrival of this new life would bring auspicious signs to the Yong Dynasty.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sounds coming from the delivery room tugged at everyone's heartstrings. Everyone held their breath, as if even the air had frozen.

Finally, a clear and loud cry broke the suffocating tense atmosphere. A new life was born! The entire palace was instantly immersed in endless joy.

The emperor's tense face finally relaxed, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush into the delivery room to see the newly born heir.

The palace maids and eunuchs also showed their delight, whispering to each other about the happiness. The flowers and plants in the palace seemed to feel the joy as well, swaying gently in the breeze.

When the ministers kneeling outside Kunning Palace heard the news, they all knelt down and shouted "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty..." The whole palace was enveloped by the scene of the birth of a new life...

Just when the emperor was extremely happy, an inopportune voice suddenly sounded. It was Mo Mingkong's people who spoke up, "Your Majesty, the queen has given birth to a legitimate son, and the eldest son. On this occasion of universal celebration, the little prince should be made the crown prince..."

"I second the proposal..."

"I second the proposal..."

The originally extremely happy Emperor Yong suddenly stiffened and his expression became extremely cold. He glanced around coldly and said:

"My first prince has just been born. I should be celebrating, but you officials are forcing me to appoint a crown prince at this time of universal celebration? You know that I will have more and better princes born in the future. My dear ministers, please don't bring your words to the court. I will make my own decision."

The court officials knelt on the ground and nodded without saying much, as if they were following the Emperor Dayong's wishes. However, Mo Mingkong smiled without saying a word, looking in the direction of Kunning Palace where the Queen was, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Because He'er had told her long ago that ever since Liu Nishang miscarried the little princess in her belly, she had given Emperor Dayong a sterilization elixir, and it was feared that except for the legitimate son born by the empress, there would be no other heirs born in the future, and he didn't have much time left, and a new era was about to begin for the Dayong Dynasty.

Ting He fed the Queen some body-preserving pills, and asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare many blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing medicinal foods, in order to protect the Queen's health in all aspects and take better care of the little prince. Although His Majesty did not directly appoint the little prince as the Crown Prince, the child is still young and there is still a lot of time to wait. Now he can use the power in the court to make a deal and tell Mo Mingkong to start his plan.

After taking care of the queen to sleep and handing the little prince to the wet nurse to sleep, Tinghe left Kunning Palace and came to Mo Mingkong's palace. The two of them chatted in whispers for most of the night, and then Mo Mingkong bid farewell to Tinghe under his reluctant eyes.

Mo Mingkong hid the crazy concubine in a secret room and took good care of her. Starting tomorrow, he would seize all power from Emperor Dayong, and his plan was about to begin.

He'er was right, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Although he was a eunuch, the label of "Nine Thousand Years Old" was second only to "Long Live Your Majesty", so it was easy for him to act.

In the following days, the queen took the little prince with her and closed the gates of Kunning Palace on the grounds of poor health. She no longer accepted the morning and evening visits from the concubines in the harem and raised the little prince by herself.

Emperor Dayong stayed at Concubine An's place every night. Now Concubine An had been canonized as Concubine An by him. His Majesty allowed her to please him every night, but her pregnancy did not show any improvement. He was so angry that he even felt dissatisfied with her.

That day, Mo Mingkong took away the only remaining guards from him in the court. Unhappy, he went straight to Lady An's bedroom, grabbed her neck and roared:

"Bitch, you actually lied to me. Your so-called poisonous insects have no effect on Mo Mingkong. He has been jumping around more than anyone else recently. Even my guards have been taken away by him. Bitch, didn't you say that he would not live long after being poisoned by your poison? Why is he still alive to cause trouble for me?"

Lady An was almost strangled to death by Emperor Yong, and immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to take a look first."

Emperor Yong impatiently released his grip on Lady An's neck and shouted angrily, "Investigate for me."

After carefully checking the mother Gu, Lady An found that it was dead, but the child Gu on Mo Mingkong had disappeared without a trace. She was also wondering why this happened, as she was sure that it was foolproof when she put the Gu in.

Emperor Yong was furious and threatened to kill Lady An. At this time, Lady An's personal maid stepped forward and said that she had a way to regain control of Mo Mingkong. Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong calmed down his anger temporarily.

Lady An's personal maid said, "Your Majesty, I know of an ancient forbidden technique that may be able to reestablish a connection with Mo Mingkong through special rituals and spells, thereby controlling him. However, this technique is extremely dangerous and requires a specific time and place, and the preparation of many rare items."

Emperor Dayong frowned and asked:

“How long will it take to accomplish this?”

The maid bowed her head and replied, "At least seven days." Emperor Yong thought for a moment and said sternly, "I will only give you five days. If you fail, you will all come to me with your heads raised!"

The maid quickly agreed and began to prepare.
