An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

Zhen Huan's heart tightened, and she flattered with a smile.

"Your Majesty is so perceptive that he noticed the difference at a glance. I, as your mother, am truly remiss in my duty. I didn't even notice the abnormality in your stomach. I thought it was because the weather was too cold and that was why you needed to eat more."

"The Imperial Concubine was also pregnant with twins in the past. I found it unusual, so I paid more attention to it."

The emperor pointed to a chair beside him.

"Your belly is too big to stand for long, go sit down and rest for a while."

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty."

Zhen Huan sat down as she was told.

When she saw that the emperor had no intention of dealing with the memorial, she changed her mind.

"Since I became pregnant, I haven't been as mindful as before. Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."

"Today, I heard that the Imperial Noble Consort was unwell, so I went to Yongshou Palace. If I had seen her, perhaps she would have remembered that her Eighth Prince and Princess Zhaohua were twins."

"I will definitely come to ask the Imperial Noble Consort for advice someday."

The emperor frowned. Didn’t Rong’er say that she was afraid of passing the disease to the children and pregnant women in the palace, so she didn’t want to see guests?

From what Concubine Zhen said, it seemed like she didn't know about this matter and still wanted to come and bother her.

The emperor patiently explained, taking into consideration that she was pregnant with twins.

"The Imperial Concubine has a high fever, and the Imperial Physician says she needs to rest for a while. You're pregnant, so don't get too sick."

"Wen Shichu is a good doctor. With him watching over us, nothing will go wrong. If you are worried, Concubine Zhen, you can ask other imperial physicians to take care of the pregnancy and pulse."

"I thank Your Majesty for your concern and will definitely take good care of the twins in my belly."

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she stood up and bowed again.

"Your Majesty, please keep the fact that I am pregnant with twins a secret."

"Being pregnant with twins is a great joy, why would you want to hide it?"

Zhen Huan sighed sadly.

"Sister Mei's Tenth Prince just had an accident, and I don't want to hurt her heart again."

"I went to see Sister Mei, and Madam Shen said she hasn't spoken a word yet, and hasn't eaten or drunk anything."

"You are kind-hearted."

The emperor also dreamed of Xiao Shi last night, and the child was back in his arms.

After waking up from the dream, all that was left was the unbearable pain in my heart.

He is the king of a country. Even if it is his son who died young, he cannot allow himself to be immersed in grief for a long time.

"I feel relieved that Concubine Hui has you by her side."

"Your Majesty, I have known Sister Mei since childhood, and I hate to see her look of despair. I dare to ask you to go and see Sister Mei."

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she made a gesture as if to kneel down.

The emperor hurriedly spoke out to stop her, "You are still pregnant, there is no need to do this."

"Concubine Hui lost two children. I know she is feeling very sad."

"Huan'er, do you think she would get better if she adopted a prince?"

Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat. Sister Mei already had Longyue, so how could she adopt another child?

But that cannot be said.

She did not answer directly, but instead talked about a past event.

"Your Majesty, I remember when I was little, Sister Mei dug a pot of wild chrysanthemums in the mountains and brought them home to take good care of. But in the end, the chrysanthemums withered. The next year, we passed that hillside again, and I reminded her that she could dig more wild chrysanthemums to keep. But Sister Mei said that even if she found a similar one, it would still not be the same as last year's pot."

"Later, when she went out to play again, she avoided that hill."

Zhen Huan never mentioned the reason why Shen Meizhuang dug wild chrysanthemums.

"Yes, Concubine Hui is stubborn about certain things, which is really difficult to deal with."

The emperor thought about it and decided to visit Shen Meizhuang in Yonghe Palace.

After Su Peisheng found out that the tenth prince had died unexpectedly, he reopened the gate of Yonghe Palace.

As soon as the emperor arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace, he raised his hand to signal the gatekeeper to keep quiet.

He took Zhen Huan along for a smooth journey and stopped outside the bedroom door.

In the bedroom, Longyue snuggled tightly in Shen Meizhuang's arms, looking at the person with a dark complexion in front of her with her innocent eyes, and prayed softly.

"Mother, Longyue is your daughter. Please don't chase me away, okay?"

"Longyue has already promised Grandmother that she will take good care of you on behalf of Tenth Brother."

"Mother, please don't send Longyue back to Empress Zhen, okay?"

"Empress Zhen is pregnant with a little brother, and Longyue has never read to him or played with him through her belly. I'm afraid he won't like me."

"Mother, Longyue can't bear to leave you. Empress Zhen has her unborn baby brother by her side. If Longyue leaves, who will accompany you?"

Shen Meizhuang couldn't stop crying as she listened to her daughter's words.

She held Longyue in her arms and spoke with sobs.

"Longyue, Empress Zhen is your biological mother. You will return to her sooner or later."

"Listen to my mother, Empress Zhen will give you a younger brother in the future, and then you'll have someone..."

"Wuwuwu...Mother, please don't leave Longyue, okay? You are the only one in the world who treats Longyue the best. Longyue promises to be obedient."

Longyue was crying so hard that she was hiccuping.

"My dear mother, the hazy moon..."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, their cries revealing a deep reluctance to part.

The emperor listened to all this outside the door and felt sad.

Zhen Huan, who was standing behind him, also heard what was said in the room. She didn't expect that Longyue really didn't want to come back to her.

Zhen Huan couldn't help but shed tears. She gently took the emperor's hand, pointed inside, and nodded slightly.

Before the emperor could react, Zhen Huan quickly bowed and pulled Cui Jinxi out.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face when he understood Zhen Huan's intention.
