Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"what!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Emperor Yuan Qing and the Empress Dowager spoke at the same time, but their words were different.

Emperor Yuan Qing was surprised how the news from the cold palace could reach Kunning Palace, while the empress dowager heard the word "good news".

The eunuch was brought into the hall and blurted out what he had been silently repeating for a long time along the way.

"The Queen is pregnant, and the baby is over two months old."

"More than two months... At that time, Chen was still living in Fengyi Palace."

The Queen Mother was extremely happy and kept muttering, "God bless my son, the palace will finally have a new bloodline."

Emperor Yuan Qing was equally happy. He shared his joy with Lu Chenxiao, "Ah Xiao, did you hear that? I am going to be a father. I really hope that the queen is pregnant with my eldest son."

Lu Chenxiao was also happy for him and congratulated him, "Royal brother will surely achieve his wish."

"Haha, the one who understands me is Ah Xiao."

The Queen Mother came back to her senses from the good news that the Emperor was going to have a legitimate son, and urged anxiously, "It's not easy to have a baby in the cold palace, my son, go and get the baby out as soon as possible."

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded excitedly, "What the Queen Mother said is right. I will go to the cold palace to pick her up myself."

"Then I will also go to Fengyi Palace to see if there is anything that needs to be purchased."

The mother and son stood up and walked out together, and Huai'an was pushed back to Meng Yunshang.

"Mom~" Huai'an looked up, his little face full of confusion and nervousness.

Meng Yunshang squatted down, adjusted the jade crown on the little guy's head, and asked him in a gentle voice, "Baby, do you have something to say to mother?"

Huai'an nodded.

"Will the Royal Grandmother still like Huai'an after she has a new grandson?"

"Of course," Meng Yunshang nodded seriously, "No matter how many grandchildren the Royal Grandmother has, Huai'an is Huai'an, the treasure of my father and mother."

"Then mother will always like Huai'an, right?"

"That's right, in mother's heart, Huai'an will always be the first."

The little guy's uneasiness disappeared instantly, and he eagerly asked Meng Yunshang, "The first one who is more important than my father?"

Meng Yunshang scratched his nose and smiled, "Yes, more important than my father."

Huai'an was instantly satisfied, "Ah, Huai'an is happier than my father."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

After leaving Kunning Palace, Lu Chenxiao asked Lu Ming and Danqiu to lead Huai'an in front, while he held Meng Yunshang's hand and whispered to her in the back.

"Empress Chen is pregnant, and the baby is unhappy?"

Meng Yunshang shook her head. "Whether she's pregnant or not has nothing to do with me, so naturally, it doesn't matter whether she's happy or not."

But she clearly remembered that in her previous life, until Huai'an committed suicide, Emperor Yuan Qing only had two princesses, Lu Lingshan and Lu Lingzhu.

Later, no new blood was born, and not even any good news was heard.

Precisely because of the difficulty in having children, there have been rumors inside and outside the court that Emperor Yuan Qing should adopt Huaian.

But now Queen Chen is pregnant with her second child. Is it a series of reactions brought about by her rebirth, or is there something happening that she doesn’t know about?

"There has been no prince born in the harem, and there have been many bad rumors in the previous dynasty. If Empress Chen can really give birth to a legitimate son, it will be extremely beneficial to my brother's reputation and the stability of the court situation."

Is he worried that she will attack Queen Chen's belly?

Meng Yunshang's smile faded, and she asked Lu Chenxiao in a cold tone, "Have you ever thought about what the Chen family and those noble families who are in league with the Chen family would think if Queen Chen really gave birth to a prince?"

Before the death of the previous emperor, the aristocratic families were united and the princes were powerful.

As a result, Emperor Yuanqing has been held hostage by the aristocratic families for so many years since he ascended the throne.

Even though he had Lu Chenxiao to assist him, the relationships in the court were complicated and intricate, so he did not dare to hastily reshuffle the court.

The only way is to slowly disintegrate the family alliance from within.

Seeing that the results are about to be achieved, the Chen family has already made a warning and the other families are waiting and watching.

Who would have thought that Empress Chen would become pregnant so beautifully? If she happened to give birth to a boy, it would only be a matter of time before he was named the Crown Prince.

By then, the Chen family will make a comeback, and other families will continue to be led by the Chen family.

Not to mention that Emperor Yuan Qing’s efforts over the past few years have come to naught, even the future crown prince will be affected by the Chen family.

After all, in all dynasties, there would never be a good ending for foreign relatives who interfere in government affairs.

She could think of these, and Lu Chenxiao was no exception.

He lowered his head and asked Meng Yunshang, "Do you think the timing of Queen Chen's pregnancy is too coincidental?"

Meng Yunshang nodded.

It's more than just a coincidence, it's like it was planned in advance.

"I always feel that the family is playing a big game."

Lu Chenxiao was surprised. He always knew that Shang'er was smart, but he was still surprised that she could identify the root of the problem so accurately.

"My brother wants me to take over Jingdong Camp as well."

Meng Yunshang frowned, "If it weren't for Queen Chen's pregnancy, it would be very simple. But now, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Yuan Chengye was defeated by Qian Fushun, and the Jingdong Camp ranked last in points. It was reasonable for Emperor Yuan Qing to take the opportunity to change the commander of the Jingdong Camp.

But Yuan Chengye was backed by the major families in the capital. If they used Empress Chen's pregnancy to interfere with Emperor Yuan Qing's appointment of the commander of the Jingdong Camp, it would be very troublesome.

Lu Chenxiao immediately saw what she was thinking and kissed her forehead to comfort her, "Don't worry, my brother is not that confused."

"As for Chen, don't bother with her unless necessary."

Meng Yunshang nodded and responded calmly, "I know, as long as she doesn't come to provoke me, I will definitely not take the initiative to embarrass her."

But if Empress Chen took advantage of the child in her belly to make things difficult for her, she would not let them do that.

"I'm not asking you to compromise. I, Lu Chenxiao's woman, can do whatever I want without worrying about what others think."

Meng Yunshang nodded lightly.

The two walked out of the palace, and halfway through, Lu Kang came to report, "Those people in Zhiluo Palace were stubborn and refused to speak, but when they saw Prince Yu, they suddenly broke down and shouted that they would do anything as long as Prince Yu was released."

"Also, Prince Yu and his wife rushed to Concubine Chen's palace as soon as possible. The two of them fought in front of Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen fainted on the spot. The imperial physician is on the way."

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Tell the two concubines of Prince Yu about the disappearance of Prince Yu. Also tell them that the Princess of Yu contradicted Concubine Chen, which has displeased Prince Yu."

"Yes," Lu Kang responded with a bow.

"As for Prince Yu's son Lu Honglang...how does the prince plan to deal with him?"

"Longwu Mountain, fifty miles outside Beijing, is a great place for sightseeing. Lu Kang, send Lu Honglang and his sister there."

Meng Yunshang chuckled. The Longwu Mountain forest was deep and foggy. It was not only suitable for sightseeing, but also a good place to kill people and dump corpses.

It would be most appropriate to let Lu Honglang go.

Whoever made Lu Yuanjing dare to attack Huai'an must bear the consequences.

What's more, Lu Honglang is not innocent. He was a famous little bully when he was far away in the southwest.

At such a young age, he has already learned how to rape women. Such a scum must be taught a lesson.
