Everyone was shocked when they looked over. Where did all the blood come from?

Qi Yan yelled, "Imperial Physician! Send for the Imperial Physician!"

He was at a loss as to how to start, and blood stained the robes of both men.

Aunt Xiuzhi and the Queen Mother exchanged a glance, their eyes wide open, their minds filled with suspicion. How could this situation resemble...

The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and she had a vague idea of the answer in her mind.

Lu Zhihuan clutched her stomach and said, "Your Majesty, I have a stomachache."

Imperial Physician Li rushed in, startled by the scene. He quickly took the woman's pulse, his brow furrowing ever deeper. "Your Majesty... This doesn't look like an external injury, but more like... a miscarriage! I'm not an expert in gynecology, so please ask the two imperial physicians to confirm this."

Yingyue's eyes were blurred with tears: "Miscarriage? Are you saying that my wife is pregnant?"

Boom!

Everyone present was stunned!

Hearing this, Qi Yan was obviously stunned, and his heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of big hands.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something foreign and he couldn't utter a word. He didn't dare to think about the sweetheart whom he cared for so much, but was being tortured so cruelly by this group of people.

Especially since she might be pregnant.

This reminded him of his dream.

He held her tightly in his arms, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. Before he knew it, his face was covered with tears.

A pair of small hands stroked his cheeks, "Ayan, don't cry."

Qi Yan choked up and said, "Doctor Li, please save her!"

"Your Majesty, please carry the Empress into the house! I will first give her acupuncture to stop the bleeding. Let's see... if she can be saved... ah!"

Qi Yan tried twice before getting up.

He picked her up, walked into the house and laid her on the bed.

He half-knelt beside the bed, holding her hand, like a child who had made a mistake, feeling extremely helpless.

996【He just cried, so pitiful.】

Lu Zhihuan: [Hiss... Damn, wake up! I'm the one suffering now. It hurts so much! Where are the pain-relieving pills? Here they are!]

996 [Painless pills can only be used during childbirth! The system has been updated and a new function has been launched (Body Sensation Adjuster 80 points) (adjustable from 1 to 100)]

Lu Zhihuan: [Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is... too expensive! Ouch. Arrange it quickly, it hurts like hell!]

996 [……] What it was about to say was blocked by the host!

[Body Perception Adjuster +1, -80 points] (adjustable from 1 to 100)

Lu Zhihuan [20%]

The Empress Dowager had never seen the Emperor like this, so pitiful and helpless. She didn't know what to do.

"Xiuzhi, what on earth have I done?" The Queen Mother collapsed on the ground, bursting into tears.

At this time, Eunuch De and Doctor Hu arrived.

"Doctor Hu, please come quickly." Yingyue said nothing and pulled Doctor Hu inside.

Eunuch De arrived and after hearing what the secret guard had said, he was so angry that he pointed at Luo Wu with gritted teeth.

"Come here, take him away and torture him severely!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and took Liaowu away.

"Empress Dowager, it's unfair!" Liaowu shouted.

Concubine Shu was completely dumbfounded. How could this bitch... get pregnant? Impossible.

Liaowu shouted, "Empress Shufei, help!"

Concubine Shu was immersed in her own world and didn't hear anything.

Lu Zhu's face changed drastically: "My queen is kind and compassionate, she will be frightened now. I will write a letter to the master later and ask my family to come and see our queen." She was threatening secretly.

Eunuch De glanced at him coldly and said, "Your Majesty will investigate thoroughly. It's useless to ask anyone for help now. Take him away to our family."

Doctor Li performed a set of acupuncture treatments and Lu Zhihuan fell asleep.

Doctor Hu quickly took the patient's pulse. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, the Empress has been pregnant for over a month. Now that the fetus has shifted, you must stay in bed and rest. Avoid moving around. I will immediately prescribe a medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. Have the Empress take it daily."

Hearing what Doctor Hu said, Qi Yan moved his numb legs. He tilted his head slightly, and his pale jade-like face was stained with a little blood. At this moment, he felt more guilty and regretful than happy.

He held her hand and placed it against his face, suppressing the ups and downs in his heart. With a hint of bitterness, he said, "Zhizhi, did you hear that? We...we really are having a child, but I almost...almost was too late."

He stood up and half-knelt in front of the bed, leaned over and touched her lips, "Thank you, Zhizhi."

He stood up and told Yingyue: "Take good care of your queen."

The moment he turned around, his eyes were filled with cruelty and ruthlessness, like a bloodthirsty beast. His phoenix eyes were so cold that it made people shudder.

In the courtyard, a crowd of people knelt on the ground, shaking like sieves.

Qi Yan stood in the corridor, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

His gaze fell on the empress dowager's tear-stained face, and his voice was indistinguishable from emotion: "Mother, do you know... Concubine Zhao is already over a month pregnant! She's the heir you've been waiting for for over a decade."

The Queen Mother's face looked bleak. Nie Ruzhe fell silent. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. Guilt surged in her heart, making it impossible for her to avoid it.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Zhao Guipin...are you okay? Child...child...? It's...it's my fault. How could I have been possessed by a ghost?

You clearly told me that."

Qi Yan closed his eyes, his heart filled with loss and helplessness, a deep sense of powerlessness washing over him. He took a deep breath, "Mother, no matter what you did before, I never complained. But today, I must solemnly tell you again, Zhihuan is different. She is my bottom line, my life! Fortunately, the child is fine this time... otherwise..."

The Queen Mother's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she did not open her mouth.

She nodded silently, indicating that she understood Qi Yan's meaning.

Aunt Xiuzhi helped the empress dowager to the side hall.

"Princess Jing, please get up!" Concubine Jing sent someone to secretly inform him of the news, and he still knew about it.

Eunuch De came in and whispered a few words in Qi Yan's ear.

He looked at Concubine Shu, his eyes full of oppression, "Concubine Shu, don't you have anything to say?"

Concubine Shu forced herself to remain calm, "I only cried and complained in the Empress Dowager's palace. I was not aware of such rumors of evildoers here. I was summoned here today by the Empress Dowager."

"What an ignorant person."

He waved his hand and the Grand Tutor came.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you." The Grand Tutor knelt on the ground and performed the ceremony of kowtow.

Concubine Shu was astonished. "Father? Why are you here? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

She stirred the handkerchief in her hand nervously.

The Grand Tutor knelt on the ground, not rising, and pounded his forehead against the ground: "I have failed to teach my daughter well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qi Yan's eyes were icy. "Master Taifu, how do you think I should punish you? Concubine Shu colluded with the evil monk to murder the empress and the heir to the throne. Her crime deserves death."

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to face you. My daughter has committed a serious mistake, and I will never tolerate it." The Taifu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
