Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

After Liuguang died, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. An Youchen had made many great achievements and made great contributions. Long Mohan returned to the palace, but he was already the emperor. This was exactly what he wanted. He didn't have to worry about government affairs and just took good care of his health every day. After experiencing this catastrophe, his condition was more serious than before, and he vomited blood more frequently. The imperial doctors were helpless and could not come up with an effective plan.

On the third day after Long Mohan returned to the palace, all the reconstruction work after the disaster was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the chaotic palace was gradually put back on track. At night, Yizhen took care of Long Mohan to sleep. Long Mohan found that Yizhen was in a low mood all night, as if she was hiding something, but hesitated and dared not say it out.

"My dear, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you always frowning?"

"I have some good news, but I wonder if I can tell His Majesty."

Although Long Mohan had become the emperor, Yizhen still called him the emperor and was not used to changing her address. Yizhen hesitated for a whole night, and when Long Mohan asked her, she finally made up her mind to speak. Her bright eyes looked at Long Mohan pitifully in the darkness, which made Long Mohan's heart move slightly.

"Of course I have to tell you the good news. Tell it to make me happy." His fingers gently stroked Yizhen's hair.

Yizhen lowered her head, slowly placed one hand on her belly, sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, I am... I am pregnant."

"What?" Long Mohan straightened up immediately, sat up from the bed, and excitedly grabbed Yizhen's shoulders. "What did you just say?"

After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately showed a happy smile. If he was not weak, he really wanted to pick up Yizhen.

However, Yizhen still had a frown on her face. No matter how happy Long Mohan was, she could not smile. "Your Majesty, I am pregnant. However, this news is not good news for everyone."

"What do you mean? Could anyone dare to harm you and your son?"

"At the beginning, I was not pregnant, so I adopted Prince Ming as my adopted son. Now if Xiao Zhao knew that I was pregnant with a prince, she would definitely think that I deliberately lied to her. Although Prince Ming has now ascended the throne and become the emperor, this is ultimately a helpless act when there is nothing else to do. After all, they are monsters, how can they inherit the throne? Your Majesty, since I am pregnant with your child, this is God's will. God wants him to become the prince and the emperor."

Yizhen talked on and on for a long time, and Long Mohan understood what she meant.

"You want me to make this child emperor?"

Yizhen held Long Mohan's hand and nodded seriously. "Your Majesty, this is for the sake of the overall situation. If we continue to let these two monsters control the government, there will be chaos in the world in the future. Your Majesty, General An now has a large army under his command. I have recommended him for promotion, and he will definitely help us."

"Now that the government has just stabilized, why do you want to stir up trouble again?" Long Mohan sighed tiredly. "I thought that after returning to the capital from the Western Capital, I could enjoy a peaceful life in peace. Isn't it good now? After ascending the throne tomorrow, there will be no mistakes, and everything will gradually recover in an orderly manner."

"But..." Yizhen wanted to persuade her again, but Long Mohan was not interested at all.

"My beloved, I want to rest alone tonight. You can go back first." He then lay back on the bed, not wanting to listen to Yizhen's nagging anymore.

"Your Majesty..." Yizhen looked at Long Mohan's back sadly. She could have used magic to control Long Mohan's mind and make him obey her, but Long Mohan turned his back and their eyes could not meet, so Yizhen could not use magic at all.

"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Yizhen sighed softly, stood up and left the room.

When Eunuch Hua saw Yizhen, he hurried over to ask, "What happened to the queen? Why did you come out?"

Yizhen shook her head at him, not wanting to say anything, and left silently. Walking alone on the way back to her room, her right hand subconsciously touched her belly, worrying about the future fate of the child. Obviously, she was the most favored concubine, why couldn't her child become the emperor? What a ridiculous thing to say about being a concubine with the same mother, she could have become the one and only queen or queen mother, why did she become an additional item now?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He had given so much, but his child got nothing. All the results were usurped by Zhao Ji and her son.

That night Yizhen had a dream. She dreamed that Prince Ming died, and then her child replaced Prince Ming and became the emperor.

After waking up, she broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't believe that she had been hoping for the early death of the Ming prince to the point of "thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night".

The next morning, after Yizhen washed and dressed, she decided to go see the emperor.

If the emperor didn't mention what happened last night, she wouldn't mention it either; if the emperor did, she would be willing to join in the conspiracy; if the emperor blamed her, she would apologize obediently and say that she was just impulsive. In short, Yizhen was feeling uneasy now, so she had to see how Long Mohan would react, and then act accordingly.

When he asked Eunuch Hua to pass the message outside the palace gate, Eunuch Hua said, "Zhao Ji brought the emperor to visit the emperor."

Yizhen was stunned for a moment, standing stiffly in place, with a momentary blank in her mind.

Eunuch Hua asked, "What happened to the queen?"

Yizhen grabbed Eunuch Hua's hand as if she had received an electric shock and said, "Eunuch Hua, don't go and tell them. Let me go in and take a look at them from a distance, okay?"

"This..." Eunuch Hua was a little embarrassed, but Yizhen was Long Mohan's favorite concubine after all, and now she was one of the empress dowagers. She wanted to see Long Mohan from a distance, which seemed to be no problem. So Eunuch Hua agreed.

Yizhen walked along the corridor to the edge of the garden. She stood just in front of a few vines, hiding her figure in the shadows.

From a distance, one could see Long Mohan, Zhao Ji and Long Ming happily discussing something.

In a trance, she suddenly saw Zhao Ji as herself and Long Ming as her unborn child.

If there was no Zhaoji and no Longming in this world, and only herself and Long Mohan, how wonderful would that be? Zhaoji and Longming were like two poisonous thorns, piercing her heart fiercely and causing her inexplicable heartache.

He just stood there quietly watching from a distance for a long time, then turned around and left silently.

In the evening, Die'er suddenly appeared at Yizhen's door with Ji Anni.

Yizhen was sitting by the window in a daze. When she heard the knock on the door, her heart suddenly jumped out of her chest. It took her confused mind a while to recognize the identity of the person. Dier was a mute, so she did not inform Yizhen in advance and directly brought Ji Anni in. After bringing Ji Anni to the room, Dier obediently left.

Ji Anni rushed up and said, "Yizhen, I heard that you are pregnant?" As she said that, she excitedly pulled Yizhen's hand.

Yizhen's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled violently. She stared at Ji Anni in horror and asked, "How did you know?"

Ji Anni said honestly: "The emperor told me. She said that you were in a bad mood and a little uneasy after you got pregnant, so she asked me to spend more time with you and talk."

After hearing the word "Emperor", Yizhen's mood became even more complicated. It seemed that Long Mohan did not intend to make his child the crown prince. He just wanted Zhaoji to dispel his doubts and make him accept the facts and stop thinking about resistance.

"Yizhen, how long have you been pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?" Ji Anni didn't mean to blame her at all. Instead, she put her head on Yizhen's belly and said enthusiastically, "Is there any movement? Let me listen."

Yizhen was so scared that she took a step back, sighed and said, "It's really good."

"What's really good?"

"Before Huarong died, she said that you would be happier than I would be when you heard the news of my pregnancy."

Yizhen's eyes were very cold when she spoke, but Ji Anni didn't notice her abnormality and happily followed her words, "Of course. Every time you look at Ming'er, your eyes are always very lonely. I know you must want to be a real mother, and now you finally get what you want."

This sentence accidentally stung Yizhen, and she pushed her away and growled, "Stop pretending, you're obviously very jealous."

It was only then that Ji Anni finally realized that Yizhen's attitude was very strange, not at all like her before. Her eyes were full of indifference, and mixed with some vigilance, as if she was staring at an enemy.

"Yizhen, what's wrong with you?" Ji Anni asked in panic.

"You are not happy at all. You must hate me. You hate me for saying that I was pregnant when I was obviously infertile. You must be jealous of me, jealous that my child is a real prince, not a demon. Huarong and the emperor were deceived by you, why did they think you would not harm me?" Yizhen spoke more and more crazily, and big tears rolled down her bright eyes. She grabbed Ji Anni's hand and pulled Ji Anni in front of her.

Ji Anni was frightened by her abnormal reaction and opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

"Xiao Zhao, Prince Ming finally became the emperor, and you finally became the empress dowager. You must be wondering why I can also become the empress dowager. As long as you kill me, you will be the only empress dowager; as long as you kill me, my child will not be born, and Prince Ming's throne will be more secure, and no one will try to usurp the throne anymore."

"Yizhen..." Ji Anni grabbed Yizhen's trembling shoulders and stared at her in disbelief. "I never thought about it this way. I have always been grateful to you. If it weren't for you, the emperor would not have accepted Prince Ming again. It is natural for you to be the empress dowager. I would not doubt your qualifications even if I doubt my own qualifications."

"Liar! Liar!" Yizhen pushed Ji Anni away excitedly.

Ji Anni lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, Yizhen squatted down and grabbed her shoulders. "You want to kill me, you definitely want to kill me. I'm not worrying too much or imagining things, they are all wrong." As she spoke, her eyes suddenly flashed red.

Ji Anni looked into her eyes, and suddenly the only voice left in her mind was Yizhen's. She knew nothing else.
