The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Standing in the court hall, some court officials were confused.

One of them whispered, "Do you know why the Queen Mother suddenly summoned us?"

Most people shook their heads.

Only the Assistant Minister of War had a meaningful look in his eyes.

The Queen Mother, wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, walked out from the side door.

The ministers suddenly fell silent, kneeling in unison and shouting:

"Your Highness pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Be flat!"

The Queen Mother went straight to the point and said sadly, "I just received news yesterday that the Emperor was murdered in the palace."

The ministers were in an uproar and were shaken.

"Queen Mother, how could the Emperor die?"

"Are all the guards we brought over here just for free? They can't even protect the emperor?"

"Who killed the emperor?"

"..."

For a moment, the scene was a bit chaotic and some ministers jumped out to question.

The Queen Mother coughed heavily twice.

The hall gradually became quiet, and the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

"There was a conflict between the Imperial Concubine and Anle because of Zhao, and the two of them poisoned each other and accidentally killed the emperor."

"I couldn't escape being poisoned."

The Queen Mother blamed everything on Gu Yunyan and Princess Anle without changing her expression.

The ministers were skeptical and did not make any comment.

Everyone guessed that the emperor's death could not be so simple and absurd, but everything was a foregone conclusion.

They can't change anything.

They all began to think rapidly, thinking about which member of the royal family to support to take the throne that would bring more benefits to themselves.

"But don't worry, Concubine Yi happens to be one month pregnant."

"From now on, I will be the regent for the time being."

"Wait until Concubine Yi gives birth to the baby and confirms whether it's a boy or a girl before we talk about other things."

The Queen Mother said this.

The ministers became clear-headed and put forward their opinions.

"The Queen Mother is a woman and does not understand court affairs. It is not appropriate for you to be the regent alone. You should select a few people to assist the Queen Mother."

The people who were speaking were disciples of the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor and others.

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with understanding, and she knew that these ministers would not miss the opportunity to seize power.

finally.

They discussed having the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor assist the Empress Dowager.

"Mother, I am not dead yet, are you so impatient to take the throne?"

Xiao Ce'an walked into the hall slowly, followed by a team of guards protecting him.

His voice was steady, his tone sarcastic.

Looking at the person standing in front of them, the Empress Dowager, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor and others all changed their expressions.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "This is a thief pretending to be the emperor. He is not the real emperor at all!"

"The emperor died in the palace a long time ago!"

"Someone come! Kill him now!"

However, no one came in. The Queen Mother understood that she had been tricked by the Emperor.

Xiao Ce'an sneered: "Someone come here!"

"The Queen Mother poisoned me and turned the world upside down in an attempt to usurp the throne. I will kill the Queen Mother and her followers right here!"

The guards drew their swords.

The ministers were afraid of being misunderstood as the Queen Mother's followers, so they automatically hid to the side.

Expose those who have surrendered to the Queen Mother.

No matter how they defended themselves, it was useless because the Minister of War testified.

None of them could escape.

Xiao Ce'an massacred a group of ministers and confiscated their homes.

A large amount of silver was deposited into the national treasury.

This was a timely relief. He was worrying about how to provide relief to the people, and now it solved his problem.

Xiao Ce'an also appointed Gu Yunyan as queen.

From then on, he and Yan'er were a legitimate couple, sleeping in the same bed in life and being buried in the same grave in death.

..........

By the time Xiao Ce'an finished his busy government affairs, Gu Yunyan's belly was already five months pregnant.

After some free time, Xiao Ce'an suddenly discovered:

"Yan'er, why does your belly look like you're about to give birth?"

This is not right. It will be difficult to give birth if the baby is too big!

Xiao Ce'an began to worry.

Gu Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Doctor Gou said that I am pregnant with twins, so my belly is bigger than that of ordinary women."

This time, Xiao Ce'an was surprised but also more worried.

Giving birth to twins is no easier than giving birth to an oversized fetus. Since then, he has always been with Gu Yunyan.

He even searches the whole country for midwives with good skills.

The twins could be born prematurely at any time. The later the period got, the more Xiao Ce'an dared not leave Gu Yunyan's side.

Even the morning court session was changed to once every half a month.

Fortunately, the weather was good this year and no major disasters occurred.

The ministers were happy to do so.

You can spend more time with your wives, concubines and children.

Early May, late spring.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yunyan's stomach was cramping and her amniotic fluid had broken.

As soon as she moved her legs, Xiao Ce'an opened his eyes.

It was clear and bright inside, as if no one had slept yet.

He asked with concern: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Do you want to drink some water or go to the toilet? I'll help you."

During this period of time, Xiao Ce'an has gotten used to Gu Yunyan always getting up in the middle of the night to get some water to drink.

Or going to the toilet.

He served them all personally.

Tonight, Gu Yunyan shook her head and refused, saying calmly, "I'm about to give birth."

"It turns out she's about to give birth."

Xiao Ce'an said it casually, and he didn't react until he finished speaking. He was shocked and said, "You are going to give birth?!"

Gu Yunyan frowned and nodded.

Xiao Ce'an immediately stood up and shouted outside: "Hurry up! The queen is about to give birth!"

Banxia, ​​Hongtao and the midwives came in quickly with the prepared scissors and other tools.

Chief Steward Wei Yu went to the Imperial Medical Service to ask Imperial Physician Gou to come and deal with the emergency.

Xiao Ce'an was wearing only the same grass green pajamas as Gu Yunyan, and was pacing anxiously outside the screen.

Gu Yunyan, who was lying on the bed, had quietly taken the pain-free and normal delivery pill.

Basins of blood were carried out.

Gu Yunyan would pretend from time to time and scream out in pain so that people would hear her and not notice that something was wrong with her.

Xiao Ce'an's face turned grim and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

The index finger of his right hand moved slightly and tapped unconsciously.

Finally, when the first rays of morning light appeared outside, a loud baby cry was heard.

"Wow!"

The midwife wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes and carried him out: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little princess."

Xiao Ce'an immediately said, "Doctor Gou, please take a look at the princess."

His heart softened at the first sight; this was the daughter Yan'er had given birth to for him.

Doctor Gou carefully felt the pulse and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is in good health, no worse than a full-term singleton baby."

Xiao Ce'an said happily: "Everyone in Yangxin Palace will be rewarded with three months' salary!"

The voice just fell.

Another baby cry sounded: "Wow!"

Another midwife came out with a swaddling cloth in her arms, her face full of joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Queen has given birth to a little prince!"

Doctor Gou stepped forward again and repeated the process.

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, she said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is the same as the eldest princess. He looks small and in good health."

"Okay, okay! I'll give you another three months' salary!"

Xiao Ce'an was so excited that his eyes became moist and the corners of his eyes turned red, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased.

After being happy, Xiao Ce'an walked around the screen and went in.

At this time, Gu Yunyan had changed into clean clothes, her face was pale, and her red lips were bloodless.

She had fallen into a deep sleep.

Xiao Ce'an's face changed, and his heart ached: "Doctor Gou, come in quickly and check on the queen!"

Doctor Gou came running in.

I thought something had happened to the Queen and I was very worried.

I was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on me and I would lose my life.
