The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

According to Dongfang Qing, she didn't have her period that month and was very worried.

For this purpose, the emperor was specially invited to discuss the affairs of the Dongfang family.

He also used strong liquor to get the emperor drunk.

Then he asked one of the most loyal servants to accompany the emperor for one night.

The next day, when the emperor woke up, he thought it was the queen who was with him.

Not long after, it was discovered that the queen was pregnant.

Dongfang Qing also assured that the old emperor had no idea that she had never been with him in the act of substituting a cat for the prince.

The queen was pregnant again, so the old emperor was naturally happy and gave her many rewards.

In addition, Dongfang family's traces are being used now, so how could Dongfang Qing be unhappy?

Ning Yi pondered for a moment, then looked at the complaining woman in his arms in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "Silly woman, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"Come and let me, the father, listen to how my precious child is growing up." Ning Yi took the initiative to put his head against her belly to listen.

The more I listen, the more I like it.

Dongfang Qing finally revealed a long-lost smile of relief. She stroked Ning Yi's long hair and muttered, "My dear husband, I'm still worried that you can't come back to see me."

"Besides, I dare not tell anyone about my pregnancy. I don't even dare to write letters, for fear that others will find out."

Of course, I dare not let anyone know about this kind of thing, otherwise it will really make things worse.

Ning Yi took the initiative to comfort her: "Don't worry, your husband will be here to keep you and your child safe."

After being together for a while, Dongfang Qing is in a much better mood now. After so many months of fear, as long as Ning Yi is by her side, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

"My dear husband, be careful when you lead the troops outside." The Queen said worriedly, "I heard that Hushan Pass is very difficult and dangerous. The barbarians almost broke through the city several times."

"Also, the last time the barbarian army entered the pass, I was terrified. I was afraid you wouldn't even be able to see my child when he was born. If anything happened to you, how would I and the child survive?"

Dongfang Qing is now like a helpless pregnant woman, thinking only of Ning Yi.

She just wanted her man to return safely, only then would she feel at ease.

Ning Yi smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, they are just a group of barbarians. I, your husband, am more than enough to stop them. We can even defeat them next year without any problem."

This is not an exaggeration. He has accumulated so much strength just to deal with the barbarians.

Once the barbarians come back next year, it will be time for him to have a decisive battle with them.

This time, we must beat the barbarians until they vomit blood and let them know that the area inside the pass is not a place where they, a group of savages, can do whatever they want.

Dongfang Qing was still worried: "Husband, you must not be careless on the battlefield, and you must also be careful of the old emperor."

"The old emperor will not allow you to command such a large army forever."

Dongfang Qing has been the queen in the palace for so many years, so she naturally knows the old emperor quite well.

He was a suspicious and extremely jealous emperor.

No one believed that his own son, especially his own son, would lead an army to seize his throne at any time.

Ning Yi nodded: "Don't worry, I, your husband, have already made plans. After we have dealt with the barbarians, it will be time to give you and the child a guarantee."

The two of them had been talking in whispers in Kunning Palace for a long time.

Ning Yi also felt emotional, this was his first child in this world.

No matter what, I must keep it.

When Ning Yi left Kunning Palace, walked out of the palace, and mounted his warhorse.

He looked calm, but in fact he had been restless for a long time.

Dongfang Qing was just a pawn he used to contact the Dongfang family.

He even wanted to enjoy the pleasure of having the most beautiful woman in Wu State.

Now the Dongfang family has almost broken up with him, but Dongfang Qing is pregnant instead.

No matter how cruel and cold-blooded Ning Yi is, he still cares a lot about his children.

Qin Haifeng saw that His Highness looked unhappy and was lost in thought.

Puzzled, he asked, "Your Highness, did His Majesty give you a hard time?"

Ning Yi shook his head slightly: "That's not the case."

The old emperor will not make things difficult for him now and hopes that he will stay well in Hushan Pass.

But Ning Yi felt that the rectification of Hushan Pass needed to be accelerated.

No matter what, we must quickly take control of all the troops at Hushan Pass.

The biggest threat to Hushan Pass now is the 30,000 cavalry from the northwest.

Although half of them are new recruits, all of them can fight on horseback. With a little reorganization and more training, they can all be good soldiers to be added.

It's not easy to get rid of them by force.

We can only rely on the hands of the barbarians.

But now is not the time. Even if Ning Yi is anxious, if he acts recklessly and disrupts the plan, all his efforts will easily be wasted.

When Ning Yi returned home and looked at his wives and concubines, he was speechless.

At the very least, he had three legitimate wives and concubines, two princes' wives and one concubine.

There were also some of their personal maids who had served Ning Yi.

But why is there no one pregnant?

On the contrary, Dongfang Qing in the palace just had an affair occasionally and got pregnant early.

Is it true that women who have given birth are more likely to get pregnant?

Just a few days after the Lunar New Year, Ning Yi was already feeling uneasy.

He felt that Dongfang Qing might be a time bomb.

If the old emperor knew that the child was not his, wouldn’t he be furious?

So Ning Yi went to meet the old emperor again.

They cried for money and food, asking the old emperor to give them some no matter what.

The old emperor was annoyed by his words and had to ask the grain storage department to give him some food as if he was shooing away a fly.

Even if the gift was not much, Ning Yi had a reason.

After receiving military rations from the grain storage department, we set off immediately.

Both Yang Ziqin and Ajiu were very worried.

Another farewell.

But this time, the old emperor did not take them back to the palace.

After all, peace talks have been held now, and the sixth prince has been behaving honestly and dutifully. He is just a prince who works very hard to guard the old emperor at Hushan Pass.

He worked diligently, hoping to get the old emperor's praise.

Of course, in order to comfort Ning Yi, the old emperor specially asked the most skilled craftsmen in the palace to make him an absolutely beautiful set of armor.

It is even better than the suit that Ning Yi sent during the Spring Festival, which was once used by the old emperor.

He was also given a replacement imperial sword, which was more beautiful, majestic and sharper than the dragon-patterned sword he had been given before.

A Luo, the ninth princess, actually took out an exquisite box.

Inside was a snow-white velvet cloak, which she personally put on Ning Yi, and said carefully, "My husband, this is the snow fox fur that A Luo specially collected on the grassland. A Jiu made it for you personally. It is not only warm enough, but can also withstand certain arrow wounds on the battlefield. I hope it can help my husband."

This snow fox fur was A Luo's favorite thing in the past. It was very white and the fur was very soft. Now he made it by himself for a long time and helped Ning Yi put it on himself. He felt very satisfied.
