Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

After leaving court, Yuwen Yong heard that Mantuo was pregnant. He was as excited as a child, his face full of joy that he couldn't hide. He didn't even have time to change out of his court clothes, and ran all the way back to his bedroom. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to open his arms, hugged Mantuo tightly, and excitedly said, "Madam, are you really pregnant?"

Seeing Yuwen Yong so happy, Mantuo couldn't help but feel relieved. She smiled and nodded, responding, "Yes, Ayong." Yuwen Yong's smile grew even brighter when he heard it. He reached out and wanted to touch Mantuo's belly, but Mantuo gently slapped her away.

Mantuo said gently but firmly, "No, A'yong, you can't touch her yet. It won't be good for the child." Yuwen Yong quickly withdrew his hand and smiled, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't touch her." Then, he happily ordered his servants, "Go to the street and buy some fresh food for Madam."

At this time, Mantuo stood up from the bed, stretched, then turned to look at Yuwen Yong and said softly, "I want to go out for a walk later, is that okay?" Yuwen Yong nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Of course, madam, you can go wherever you want. I'll go with you later." However, Mantuo shook her head and replied, "No need, A'yong. I can go with the maid myself. You still have a lot of government affairs to deal with."

Seeing that Mantuo insisted on not letting him accompany her, Yuwen Yong smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, but my lady, please be careful. If you need anything or encounter any trouble, please send someone to tell me immediately." Mantuo looked at Yuwen Yong gratefully and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Ayong, I will take good care of myself and the baby in my belly."

Yuwen Yong was pondering the fact that he had just been canonized as the Crown Prince, and then said, "Okay, remember to bring some guards with you! After all, I have been canonized as the Crown Prince now, and as my Crown Princess, you'd better be more cautious when you go out!" After hearing this, Mantuo nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I know! By the way, this morning, the wife of the Minister of Revenue sent someone to deliver an invitation. She said that she will be holding a flower viewing banquet at her mansion the day after tomorrow, and she invited me to attend!"

After thinking for a moment, Yuwen Yong slowly said, "If you're interested in attending this banquet, then go ahead! If you don't want to go, that's fine too! Now that you're the Crown Princess, you're one of the most distinguished women in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even if you don't go, no one would dare to gossip!" Mantuo thought carefully and finally decided, "Okay, I'll see what happens tomorrow... I'll be leaving now!" Yuwen Yong gently instructed, "Be careful on the road, and walk slowly!"

Afterwards, Mantuo, accompanied by a group of maids and guards, rode in a luxurious carriage and set off with great fanfare towards the Treasure Pavilion. When they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, the shopkeeper immediately recognized Mantuo and hurriedly prepared to greet her, but Mantuo stopped him in time.

Mantuo sat gracefully in a chair, her eyes sharp as she gazed at the man before her. She softly asked, "Are there any treasures on the second floor?" The shopkeeper quickly replied with a flattering smile, "Of course, ma'am, please follow me." Mantuo nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction. Then, she gestured to the guards behind her to wait downstairs. Then, she and her maid, Chunhua, ascended the stairs to the second floor.

When they entered the private room on the second floor, Mantuo asked Chunhua to stay outside the door to guard, while she walked into the room alone. Yuwen Hu was concentrating on making a cup of exquisite chrysanthemum tea, and the table was filled with various tempting snacks. He smiled and raised his head, a gentle light in his eyes, and said, "You are here." Mantuo asked curiously, "Why did you prepare so much food?" Yuwen Hu replied gently, "I specially asked the servants to prepare these, I hope they will suit your taste. Has the child bothered you recently?" Mantuo took a light bite of the pastry and nodded with satisfaction, "Fortunately, the child is very well-behaved. However, I heard a piece of news this morning that the emperor has issued an edict to appoint Yuwen Yong as the prince. In this way, I will become the crown princess. It seems that the emperor's illness may not last long..." Yuwen Hu gently wiped away the debris from the corner of Mantuo's mouth and comforted her, "Don't worry, leave everything to me. Today, the power of the court is roughly divided into three parts, half of which is in my hands, another quarter belongs to your grandfather, and the rest are in the imperial court. and Dugu Xin. As long as we work closely together, we can ensure the stability of the situation." Mantuo said in a cold tone with a mocking smile on her lips: "I guess my eldest sister may come to you soon. How can she be willing to be just a small princess? Moreover, Dugu Xin will definitely stand on her side and help her instead of me. After all, from childhood to adulthood, he loved my eldest sister the most, but never cared about my life or death." Yuwen Hu hugged Mantuo distressedly, his eyes full of pity, and comforted her: "Baby, you still have me. If they don't feel sorry for you, I will. Wait until I take over this country and give it to you!" After hearing this, Mantuo's face showed joy. She took the initiative to kiss Yuwen Hu and said in a sweet voice: "Okay! Thank you, husband..." After the two of them were sweetly sticky for a while, Mantuo left with the exquisite jewelry selected by Yuwen Hu.

At the same time, Prajna believed that Yuwen Yu could not ascend to the throne and decided to seek help from Yuwen Hu. So she sent an envoy to convey the message to Yuwen Hu. However, Yuwen Hu sneered and responded with disdain: "No see!" After Prajna learned the news, she angrily smashed the items in her hands. Seeing this scene, Yuwen Yu asked cautiously: "Prajna, what's wrong with you?" Prajna realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly adjusted her mood, and replied softly: "It's okay, A Yu! I want to go home to visit my father later..." Yuwen Yu nodded slightly to show his understanding, and asked with concern if he needed company. Prajna smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "No, I can go back by myself later."

So Prajna returned to the Dugu Mansion alone with her maid. Dugu Xin was in the study handling government affairs. Hearing footsteps getting closer, he guessed that Prajna had returned. He put down his pen and looked up at the door. Sure enough, Prajna walked in. Dugu Xin quickly asked, "Prajna, why did you come back so suddenly? What happened?"

After having her maid secure the study door, Prajna quickly walked over to Dugu Xin, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. She lowered her voice and said, "Father, do you think the emperor has gone mad? He didn't appoint Ayu as the crown prince, but instead appointed Ayong! This is sheer nonsense!"

Dugu Xin sighed softly, put down his pen, and patted Prajna's hand comfortingly. He understood his daughter's disappointment, but he also knew the emperor's decision wasn't unreasonable. He explained softly, "Prajna, Dad knows you're upset. But we must admit that Ayu is too cowardly and unsuitable as the crown prince. While Ayong may be young, he's intelligent, brave, and capable of shouldering this responsibility. The emperor is doing this for the future of the Great Zhou."

Prajna's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke, "I simply cannot accept this fact. I never imagined that Dugu Tianxia's prophecy would actually fall upon that woman. What makes me even more infuriated is that she has even changed her surname to Li! Humph, but I believe Ayong's feelings for Jialuo have never changed, so Dugu Tianxia's prophecy may well come true!"

Hearing this, Dugu Xin's anger was instantly ignited. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Prajna, you are simply crazy! Mantuo is your own sister! And Jialuo is already married, and her husband is Yang Jian. How can you say such outrageous words? Shut up!" After that, Dugu Xin waved his hand to signal Prajna to go back, and told her to live a good life with Prince Yu.

After Prajna left, Dugu Xin rubbed his temples with his hands, his heart filled with helplessness and exhaustion. He had never imagined that Prajna's personality could be so extreme, which made him feel very sad. In fact, at the beginning, when the master predicted that the Dugu family would become the world of Dugu, he was also very excited. However, as time went by, he gradually realized that this prophecy might just be a legend. Now, this prophecy has actually happened to his second daughter, whom he disliked the most, which shocked him. Despite this, he still firmly believed that no matter how hard Prajna fought, it could not be at the expense of Jialuo. After all, Mantuo was also his own flesh and blood, how could he bear to see her hurt?

Thinking of this, Dugu Xin sighed deeply. He understood that all this was the result of his overindulgence in Prajna. If he had recognized Prajna's extreme behavior sooner, perhaps things wouldn't have reached this point. But now that things had come to this, he could only endure it silently, hoping that Prajna would soon come to her senses and stop being so obsessed.
