The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Fei Wan's thoughts drifted away.

twin.

In her previous life, her children were also twins, and they were what people in the world called the most auspicious twins, a boy and a girl.

She had been reborn into the past, and wondered if her two children had grown up safely in that time and space ravaged by war...

The words "time and space" were said by Gu Shuer.

Gu Shuer once said during a casual chat that when a soul comes to another world, or goes to the past or future of the original world, then no matter whether it is the original world or the new world, the time and space line has changed and it is different from before.

Gu Shu'er said that her arrival in Daliang would slightly alter the world of Daliang. Her presence in the palace would affect the fates of the other concubines, and indeed the emperor's. Even among the common people and in Northern Qu, her tiny butterfly wings would stir up ripples, perhaps even huge waves—it was impossible to predict.

Fei Wan did not tell her about her rebirth.

But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I silently thought about myself according to what she said.

In her previous life, she had died, vanished like dust. Her twin sons, lost in the chaos of war, might have been fortunate enough to be adopted and raised well, or perhaps they had already perished in the flames of war, beyond her reach, beyond her reach. Heaven and earth are cruel, and the life and death of individuals are as insignificant as dust, lost in the vast current of time, leaving nothing behind.

Reborn, but not coming back.

She was just lucky enough to live her life again in another way.

This little butterfly has flapped her wings and changed many things and many people.

The emperor is different from the original emperor.

Empress Yan was different from the original virtuous concubine.

The court structure is different now.

The beams are different too.

Although it is still far from her dream beam.

But this is a new world, a new time and space.

She stood in the river flowing forward, and every step she took brought new unknowns, new hopes and dangers.

In this life, she will never give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for the emperor.

Gu Shuer, a soul from another world, unexpectedly gave birth to twins.

Fei Wan looked at Gu Shuer's increasingly round belly, and her eyes became unusually gentle.

"No wonder your belly is bigger than other pregnant women of the same age. I used to think you were just gaining weight from eating non-stop every day."

She gently reached out her hand, "Can I touch it?"

"Of course." Gu Shuer pulled Fei Wan's hand to her belly.

Fei Wan didn't dare to use force, but just placed her hand gently on it, slowly, lightly, and carefully touching it to feel the two little lives inside.

Indeed, the touch of twins feels different than that of just one.

The imperial physician was not wrong.

"what?!"

Suddenly, Gu Shuer was stunned.

The whole body instantly became still, and even the breathing became extremely light.

Fei Wan also stopped.

For a long time, the two men did not move, only the carriage rumbled forward.

"Again! It's true, sis!"

Gu Shuer was excited.

He held Fei Wan's hand, his face flushed with excitement.

Fei Wan's heartbeat quickened, "...It's true, they are moving and greeting us!"

Just now, when Fei Wan put her hand on Gu Shuer's belly, the little guy inside moved a little, and then moved again.

I don’t know if it was the little butt or the little head that was nudging her, and I don’t know if it was one little guy moving or both of them.

Gu Shuer put both her hands on her belly, looking forward to the fetal movement again.

"It's not even five months yet. The imperial physician said a baby wouldn't show noticeable movement until five or six months. How come it's happening now? This is incredible, sister! This is the first time! People in the palace always say you're a lucky star, but I didn't believe it. I thought you were just spreading rumors to hype yourself up. But just now, when you touched me, they felt the baby move for the first time. It's really incredible!"

She was talking incoherently and was very excited.

However, perhaps the two previous hits made the little one tired, and she kept her hands on her belly and did not feel any new movement.

"Or you should come, sister."

Gu Shuer pulled Fei Wan's hand over again and covered her belly. However, this time Fei Wan's hand didn't work either.

Gu Shu'er was a little disappointed, but she patted her belly and said, "The two babies are still too small. When they grow up a little bit, they will move more."

Fei Wan nodded gently, "Yes. It's rare to see fetal movement this early. It means they are very strong because of you."

"Then I'll eat more. Don't stop me, sister!"

"You also need to move around more while ensuring safety, otherwise eating too much will cause you to suffer during childbirth."

"I know, sister, stop reading. I also know that I need to stay in a good mood, stop overthinking, focus on the present, and live well first!"

The fetal movement allowed Gu Shuer to further feel the connection with her child and automatically adjusted her mood.

Being a mother is such a magical thing.

From a playful girl to a responsible mother, sometimes the transformation happens in an instant.

Fei Wan thought of herself in her previous life.

Back then, despite the hardships and pain, she still felt a glimmer of happiness after becoming pregnant. After being tortured by Yu Tingjin, she hid in a deserted place, holding her belly, and staying with her child, and she felt that the pain on her body was not so severe.

She began to eat hard, tried not to be sad, and thought of ways to protect the safety of the baby in her belly.

It's just that her health was poor. Even though she received many preferential treatments after she became pregnant and had good food, clothing and other necessities, the fetus was still weak and there was no obvious fetal movement until six or seven months.

"Shu'er, let's take good care of the children. I will treat them as my own."

"Ah."

Gu Shuer nodded vigorously.

Fei Wan's solemn expression gave her an indescribable feeling. At this moment, she trusted Fei Wan more than ever before.

Yu Feiwan might be cunning, treacherous, and might take advantage of everything, but her intuition told her that Yu Feiwan truly loved her children.

"Does Your Majesty know?" Fei Wan asked.

Gu Shuer said, "I don't know. He arranged for the imperial physician, but I coerced and bribed him into submission. I didn't allow the imperial physician to tell anyone about the twins."

Fei Wan praised: "It would be better to reveal it at the right time. If people knew it was twins, I'm afraid you would be in even greater danger. When Wenyuan Pan or Imperial Physician Zheng takes my pulse, I'll also check it out for you. As the months get longer, I'll tell you how to take care of the pregnancy and what are the precautions and precautions. It would be safer to combine their advice with your Imperial Physician's."

In the evening, the trip ended and everyone got off the car and set up camp on the outskirts of the Beishan Hunting Ground.

The heat in Beijing is gradually rising, but it is cool here. The mountain breeze is refreshing, the pine trees are rustling, and flocks of tired birds returning to their nests fly by, chirping against the gray-blue sky.

The emperor announced that he would go hunting in the mountains tomorrow and everyone could rest as they pleased tonight.

Fei Wan took Gu Shuer to have dinner in the tent, rested for a while, and then went outside the tent for a walk to get some fresh air.

In the Kowloon Tent, on the left is the camp of the ministers, and on the right, separated by a curtain, is the camp of the concubines.

The two men did not go far. They just met concubines who came out to get some fresh air in the camp, so they stopped and talked for a few words.

The sky is high and the land is vast here, and the air seems to be filled with the scent of freedom. The concubines have been cooped up in the palace for a long time, and when they arrived here, although they were tired from the journey, everyone was very happy.

As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars and bonfires are jumping on the ground.

Concubine De brought half a sheep and ordered people to roast it on the fire. She also took out a jar of sweet fruit wine and a few bottles of sour plum and osmanthus juice and invited everyone to eat the roasted lamb.

There were also opera singers and palace maids trained by her who performed operas, and the scene was lively and bustling.

"What's going on? There's so much laughter and joy here. Your Majesty, why didn't you come join in the fun when you heard the noise?"

Ying Fei Zhishu was holding a half-plate of roasted crispy lamb, standing by the bright campfire, looking coldly towards the big tent.

The curtains of the Nine Dragons tent were closed and everything was quiet. Could it be that the emperor was exhausted from the journey and fell asleep?

Fei Wan glanced at everyone.

Empress Yan, whose smile was stern even when she was smiling; Concubine De, whose hands were covered in grease as she devoured meat; Concubine Shun, who smiled gently but secretly observed the situation; Gu Shu'er, wrapped in a cloak; Yu Sujin, who was very attentive in directing the palace servants to add wine and serve dishes... and some concubines of lower rank...

Finally, Fei Wan waved Wu Xiangrong to come over.

He handed the barbecue in Zhishu's hand to her and said, "Sister Wu, please take some meat to His Majesty and ask him if he likes it. If he likes it, we have some wine here, so we can get him some more."

The situation is different recently than before. Apart from official business, Fei Wan tries to avoid appearing in front of the emperor as much as possible.

The emperor, who is in charge of all the affairs, has been more vigilant recently. In order to investigate the situation, it would be best to let Wu Xiangrong, who the emperor thinks is simple-minded, go.

"Hey, good!"

Wu Xiangrong was in a good mood and didn't think about anything else. He carried the plate and walked towards the Kowloon tent.

She was a bit far away, and Fei Wan saw her figure turn around the tent and disappear.

But not long after, he hurried out again.

Without the plate in his hand, he hurried back here quickly.

Zhishu raised an eyebrow. "Oh, it looks like something really happened. I wonder what it is this time!"

She became more and more sarcastic towards the emperor in private.

Wu Xiangrong rushed back quickly.

A concubine noticed her and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Wu Xiangrong clicked his tongue and shook her head. "Don't mention it. His Majesty is angry. He seems to be blaming a corner of the dragon tent for not being properly placed... I went to deliver the meat and he almost took his anger out on me. Let's not disturb His Majesty tonight. I think he's tired from the journey and needs to rest."

She sat back by the campfire in fear and went to drink and eat meat.

After hearing her words, the other concubines who wanted to take advantage of the trip to seduce the emperor temporarily gave up the idea.

In secret, when Wu Xiangrong passed by Fei Wan, he covered his hand with his sleeve and slipped a note into Fei Wan's hand.

After a while, Fei Wan made an excuse to change clothes and went to a deserted place. She unfolded the note in the light of the torch and found that it was written by Cao Bin.

A line of words written with charcoal, very sloppily.

"Tea farmers in Huzhou rebelled, capturing three counties in two days and amassing a force of 100,000. Your Majesty was enraged and wanted to order Concubine Hui to lead troops to aid Huzhou."

Huzhou?

That was the territory of Ming Guipin's old acquaintance, the scholar Zhao Huaisheng.

Fei Wan threw the note into a passing fire and burned it to ashes.

Plotting secretly.
