Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Following the incident involving Prince Gun, the court was in turmoil, and the people were in a state of panic. However, amidst this chaos, Zhao Zhen demonstrated his swift and decisive approach and decisiveness. With lightning speed, he quickly consolidated power at court, eliminating those who had colluded with Prince Gun or whose stance was shaky, and re-establishing a solid foundation for his rule.

Meanwhile, after a three-day stay at the Sheng family, Molan finally returned to the palace. Although she was pregnant, her movements were somewhat limited, but she was still able to enjoy a leisurely life. On weekdays, when she had nothing to do, she would gather the concubines in the harem to play mahjong and admire the flowers together to pass the time.

One day, Molan suddenly had an idea and asked the concubines if anyone wanted to escape the palace by faking their own death. To her surprise, they all shook their heads, saying that even if they could successfully fake their own death and escape, they would likely be unwelcome back home. After all, for a concubine to choose to fake her own death would undoubtedly bring shame upon her family. Furthermore, even if she could return home, facing the criticism and blame from her family would surely be unbearable. Therefore, rather than endure such treatment, they decided to stay in the palace, where they could at least have a secure life.

Hearing these concubines' responses, Molan simply smiled and didn't force them. In reality, whether or not these concubines could gain Zhao Zhen's favor was completely insignificant to her. In her heart, the most important thing was to ensure the safe birth of her unborn child and that it would successfully inherit the throne and become the future heir to the throne. As long as the other concubines couldn't give birth to a prince, what was the harm in their favor?

Time flew by, the years passed by like a shuttle, and the days slipped by like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, it was the time for Molan to give birth after ten months of pregnancy. It was a peaceful and beautiful morning, and the sun shone through the window lattice into the bedroom, bringing a touch of warmth and hope. Suddenly, a sharp pain came, and Molan realized she was about to give birth.

Despite the relentless labor pains, Molan remained remarkably calm. She first instructed her maids, Mo Xue and Mo Ran, to secure Fengyi Palace to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Then, she methodically began arranging the rest of the process, from preparing hot water and towels to notifying the midwife and imperial physician to be on standby. Everything seemed perfectly organized.

At the same time, Molan specifically instructed the midwife in charge of the delivery to bathe, wash her hair, and change into clean clothes before entering the delivery room. After all, this concerns the health and safety of the mother and newborn, and no carelessness is allowed.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen, who was attending to government affairs at court, also received news of Molan's impending birth. He was overwhelmed with anxiety and immediately abandoned his fellow courtiers, rushing to Fengyi Palace. Seeing the emperor's hasty departure, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, then turned their gaze to Sheng Hong, who stood nearby. They bowed and congratulated him, saying, "Sir Sheng, congratulations! If the empress can give birth to a prince for Your Majesty, it will be a great blessing for our dynasty!" Sheng Hong smiled with joy and nodded repeatedly in gratitude.

Sheng Hong smiled and responded to others politely, then hurried back to the Sheng Mansion.

After returning to the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Hong went straight to Old Madam Sheng's residence, explained the situation to her, and pleaded with her to bring Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang to the palace as soon as possible. After all, the Empress needed to recuperate after giving birth, and it would be better for her family to be by her side.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Sheng, fully aware of the weight of her responsibility, hurriedly packed her belongings. Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang also quickly sprang into action, the three of them packing bags of nourishing products, clothing, and other items they might need, and hurriedly set off for the palace.

When they finally arrived at Fengyi Palace, they were shocked by the sight. The delivery room was already packed with people. It turned out that the concubines had learned that the Empress was about to give birth and had come to wait, hoping to receive the good news as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhen was extremely anxious at this time. He paced back and forth outside the delivery room, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Seeing Mrs. Sheng and her two wives arrive and bow to him, Zhao Zhen quickly waved his hand to signal the attendants around him to help them up.

Everyone waited silently outside the delivery room, filled with anxiety and anticipation. As time passed, everyone's heartbeat seemed to accelerate.

Finally, after several long hours of agony, Molan successfully gave birth to a baby at 12:30 pm. While the midwife was dealing with the newborn, Molan secretly made a plan.

She quietly called upon her System Zero One, commanding it to transform into a baby, becoming her second child, thus fulfilling her promise to bring him along to experience the small world. When the midwife finished and returned to the delivery room to check on Molan, she was surprised to find another child beneath her!

The midwife initially thought they were twins, but after a closer look, she realized the two little princes looked different, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Overjoyed, she held the two children in her arms and hurried to the door to announce the good news to Zhao Zhen and the others who were anxiously waiting outside: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress has successfully given birth to two sons!"

The midwife came running over in a hurry with a happy face, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! After many hardships, the Queen finally gave birth to two little princes safely!" As she spoke, she carefully signaled to the maid beside her to bring the children over and show them to everyone present.

Zhao Zhen had been eagerly awaiting news, but was taken aback when the midwife announced twins. His gaze quickly fell on the two swaddled little creatures, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Zhen had worried that if the two children looked identical, it would cause unnecessary trouble and controversy when appointing a crown prince. Now that he saw their distinct appearances, that concern vanished.

Zhao Zhen, in high spirits, announced generously, "Huge rewards! Everyone in Fengyi Palace will receive three months' worth of monthly allowances! And this hardworking midwife, a special reward of one hundred taels of silver!" As soon as this order was issued, the entire Fengyi Palace erupted in cheers. Everyone knelt and kowtowed in gratitude, shouting in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your son!"

Zhao Zhen's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He named the two adorable children on the spot—the eldest prince was named Zhao Rui, and the second prince was named Zhao Yi. He then issued an edict officially appointing Zhao Rui as Crown Prince and Zhao Yi as Prince Yi. Once everything was settled, Zhao Zhen couldn't wait to visit Empress Molan, who had just given birth.

Although Molan looked slightly exhausted, her eyes gleamed with the happiness of a new mother. When she saw Zhao Zhen enter, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said tenderly, "Your Majesty, I'm not tired at all. I'm deeply honored to have given birth to these two princes for you." Zhao Zhen quickly walked over to the bed, gently took Molan's hand, and said affectionately, "Mo'er, you've worked hard. I will cherish you and your children." The room was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere, as if time had stood still.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed. Although the extremely intelligent Molan successfully rewrote Zhao Zhen's fate of being childless, it is regrettable that Zhao Zhen could not escape the trick of fate and passed away after only a few short years.

When Zhao Rui and Zhao Yi were five years old, young Zhao Rui ascended the throne, symbolizing supreme power. Empress Dowager Molan, due to the young age of the new emperor, was forced to personally oversee the government, assisting in handling the complexities of government affairs. Under Molan's meticulous governance, the Song Dynasty enjoyed unprecedented prosperity.

I still remember that when Zhao Rui ascended the throne, Molan solemnly fulfilled the promise she had made to Mingcheng—namely, Huangjue Temple as the Huguo Temple, and stipulated that every emperor's secret guards thereafter would be trained by the Huguo Temple. This not only ensured the safety of the imperial family, but also made the Huguo Temple famous.

Time passed quickly, and when Zhao Rui turned fifteen, Molan made a surprising move. Hiding her secret from everyone, she secretly led the concubines from the palace, along with Ling Lingyi, aliased as Zhao Yi, on a journey across the magnificent landscapes of the Song Dynasty. Along the way, they admired the magnificent mountains and rivers, experienced the local customs and people, and reveled in this rare freedom and ease. However, Molan forgot all the affairs of the court, leaving them to her now-adult son, Zhao Rui.

In this way, Molan and her companions enjoyed a long and carefree life. It was not until she was sixty-seven that she reluctantly returned to the palace. But who could have predicted that within just a few days of returning to the palace, the empress dowager, who had experienced so much, would peacefully pass away, ending her eventful life.

The passing of Empress Dowager Molan was like a bolt from the blue, striking Zhao Rui's heart. Then, even more tragic news arrived: at the Empress Dowager's funeral, the grief-stricken Prince Yi, Zhao Yi, suddenly vomited blood and died instantly! The successive blows left Zhao Rui feeling dizzy, as if his entire world was collapsing in an instant.

Fortunately, the gentle and virtuous queen and the clever prince gave Zhao Rui endless care and comfort in time. Under their careful guidance, Zhao Rui gradually broke free from the abyss of pain, regained his spirit, and took on the responsibility of ruling the Song Dynasty.
