The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 344 Happy Event

The atmosphere was heavy as lead.

Zhou Hui stood beside the emperor with a calm expression, but his palms were slightly sweaty.

He, 'Master Wei', replaced the unknown abbot and now became a big shot in the eyes of the emperor.

The palace door was pushed open by the eunuch and Ling Hui walked in slowly.

She had originally wanted to see the emperor, and being summoned now was just what she wanted.

She asked in a cold voice before the emperor could speak.

"Your Majesty, why has Mo Sheng not returned yet? Are you breaking your promise?"

The emperor's expression was gloomy, completely different from his tolerance last time.

Last time, he was willing to go along with Ling Hui just to use her to appease Bei Ming, but now Bei Ming's letter has arrived, and he bluntly asked him why he killed Ling Xun?

"Kneel down."

Those two cold words carried with them an unquestionable majesty.

Ling Hui was stunned, obviously not expecting his attitude to change so quickly. Although she was unwilling, she slowly knelt down and saluted.

"How did you tell your father?"

"How did you handle it?"

"Are you using this to threaten me?"

He himself knows best how he came to sit on the throne.

Tong Jiasuo knew it, and Ling Mosang knew it too.

And there is no way Ling Hui is unaware of this.

Ling Hui's heart was filled with alarm; she sensed the unkindness in the emperor's tone, but she was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, haven't we already negotiated this?"

"You let Mo Sheng come back to me, and I will go to comfort my father."

"Why do you suddenly write to ask me this now?"

The emperor sneered and threw the letter in front of her.

"Your way of comforting your father is to tell him that it was I who killed Ling Xun?"

Ling Hui looked down and her pupils shrank slightly.

Her first reaction was not one of defence, but of shock.

She had never said this to her father!

"no!"

Ling Hui spoke urgently.

"How could I say that!"

"I clearly said that it was the remnants of Prince Ruyang who harmed my brother!"

"This……"

She clenched the letter tightly in her hands, her knuckles turning white.

"I don't know what's going on!"

Zhou Hui couldn't help but secretly curl his lips.

Prince Ruyang is really miserable. He has to bear such a big blame even after his "death".

The air suddenly became tense, as if thunder was about to erupt at any moment.

Just then, a young eunuch stumbled in from outside the hall, fell to his knees with a thud, his face full of excitement.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The emperor glanced at him sharply.

The young eunuch hurriedly reported loudly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Mrs. Chunhong is pregnant!"

The emperor's expression finally relaxed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his originally gloomy eyes.

"really?"

The young eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I dare not deceive your majesty!"

After a long time, a smile gradually appeared on the emperor's gloomy face.

He snorted coldly at first, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Haha."

"Ok!"

"Okay! Wow!"

The excitement was palpable.

At this moment, his heart was filled not only with joy, but also with a hint of secret anticipation.

In fact, there are two reasons why the emperor was so anxious to choose a concubine.

The first thing must be offering sacrifices to the heavens. After all, both Ming Ming and Wei Lin said that offering sacrifices to the heavens is feasible.

The second thing is, of course, to branch out.

The prince is dead, and now only Luo Mosheng and Luo Xunbei are left... He doesn't want to give this kingdom to them.

After the joy, the emperor restrained his smile and looked back at Ling Hui who was kneeling on the ground with a serious gaze.

"The prince's wife."

"It's been a very tense time recently, so you'd better stay in the mansion, don't go anywhere, and don't contact anyone."

He paused and added with a smile.

"I will send the Imperial Guards to protect your safety."

Ling Hui looked up suddenly, her eyes met the emperor's for a moment, then she lowered her eyelashes and saluted respectfully.

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

The emperor waved his sleeves and left, taking Zhou Hui straight to Concubine Chunhong's bedroom.

Ling Hui knelt on the spot, the submissive look on her face instantly faded, and her eyes gradually became deep.

Concubine Chunhong is pregnant...

This is truly a God-send opportunity.

She curled her lips slightly. Wouldn't the blade that she was using be even sharper now?

When the emperor hurried to Concubine Chunhong's bedroom, the room was already full of people.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Yan sat aside with different expressions, while Luo Xunbei and Luo Yuyao were also in the hall.

The emperor was stunned, but he was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't delve into it further. Instead, he walked quickly to the bedside.

Concubine Chunhong was half leaning on the bed, her face slightly pale, but her eyes and eyebrows could not hide her pride and coquettishness.

The emperor sat down in front of the bed, his eyes fixed on her slightly bulging belly, his eyes shining brightly.

He stroked it gently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"It's really a blessing from our ancestors!"

"If it's a prince, that would be even better..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jing covered her lips and chuckled, her tone soft and meaningful.

"Your Majesty's words are truly golden!"

"The imperial physician just checked my pulse... I've been pregnant for nearly two months..."

She paused deliberately before speaking slowly.

"And, it is confirmed that he is the prince!"

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned his head abruptly to look at Concubine Chunhong, his breathing slightly rapid.

"really?"

Concubine Chunhong smiled shyly and nodded slowly, but her subtle expression could not hide the guilt in her eyes.

How could the emperor notice this?

He just felt that this was a blessing from God and was so excited that he almost forgot everything else.

"Okay, okay!"

The emperor was immersed in joy and his whole body was radiant.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall with burning intent, his voice filled with excitement and pride.

"Pass on my order——"

"Noble Lady Chunhong is pregnant, and is named Consort Zhao. She is rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred rolls of silk and satin, and a number of jade articles and treasures."

"From now on, the palace where Concubine Zhao lives will be upgraded to Zhaohua Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will immediately allocate funds for its renovation and hire more palace maids."

"The Imperial Kitchen sends someone to deliver meals every day, and the Imperial Medical Bureau coordinates the meals. There cannot be the slightest mistake!"

"Then select the most capable maidservant from the palace to take care of Concubine Zhao's daily life."

He issued several decrees in one breath, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The father-in-law at the side immediately responded in a sharp voice.

"I obey your command! I will do it right away!"

Concubine Jing and Concubine Chunhong looked at each other with different expressions.

The emperor was not yet satisfied and continued to give instructions.

"Immediately call the head of the Imperial Hospital and ask him to personally diagnose Concubine Zhao's pulse and prescribe the best medicine to maintain the pregnancy."

"In addition, the imperial guards are stationed outside Concubine Zhao's bedroom to strengthen the alert!"

"No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"

He looked around at everyone, his eyes dignified.

"I want to protect this child!"

Concubine Chunhong bit her red lips lightly, as if she was flattered, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, why mobilize so many troops..."

The emperor reached out and took her hand, his tone gentle but firm.

"This is my prince, how can I not pay attention to him?"

"Take good care of your baby and don't worry about anything else."

"After the child is born, I will make you my imperial concubine!"

Concubine Yan was a little absent-minded and would look at Luo Xunbei from time to time.

Luo Yuyao took Luo Xunbei's hand, and then spoke in a loud voice.
