Accidentally dressed as an empress

The midwife hurriedly took out the baby, a healthy little prince, with a rosy little face full of life.

Yi Yuan took a quick step forward and carefully took the child in his hands. His eyes were filled with the joy and doting of being a new father, but when he looked into the bedroom, his gaze was filled with worry.

Yun Se was so exhausted that she closed her eyes. Yi Yuan stayed by her bed, holding her hand tightly and whispering softly, "Your Majesty, look, the child is safe. Wake up."

After a long time, Yun Se slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was the child and Yi Yuan, and she smiled weakly.

Yi Yuan's eyes were moist. He gently placed the child in her arms, and the family of three hugged each other.

He brought the nourishing medicine. Yun Se frowned. She didn't like taking medicine. "I'm fine. I don't want to drink medicine. It's bitter."

Yi Yuan took out some candied fruit again, "Imperial Physician Zhou said Your Majesty loves peach kernels, so he asked me to bring some in for Your Majesty."

Yunse felt strange. She didn't like eating peach kernels?

Yun Se's heart trembled. She called Aunt Fang and said, "Aunt Fang, take Yi Yuan and the child out of the palace through the secret passage and hide among the people. Tell everyone that the child I gave birth to was weak and died. Do you understand?"

Fang Ru was shocked. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to dissuade him, but when she met Yun Se's resolute gaze, she swallowed the words back.

Her eyes were red, and she nodded heavily, saying in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Even if this old servant risks her life, she will definitely protect the young prince."

Yi Yuan also had a sorrowful expression on his face, but he fought hard to hold back the tears. He stepped forward and tightly grasped Yun Se's hand, veins popping out on the back of his hand. "Your Majesty, I am willing to stand with you!"

Yun Se's eyes softened, and she gently patted the back of his hand: "Xiao Yuan, be obedient. This is not the time to pull and tug. Saving the child is the top priority. They don't dare to touch me easily. Go!"

Hearing the footsteps of the garrison outside the door, Yun Se hurriedly pushed Fang Ru and said, "Hurry up!"

Fang Ru hurriedly picked up the baby in the cradle. The child may have sensed the uneasiness, and his little mouth turned up, and he was about to cry out loud.

Fang Ruxin felt nervous and quickly put her finger into the child's mouth.

Yun Se opened the secret passage, and Fang Ru turned around and ran towards the secret passage under the bed with Yi Yuan.

Yun Se quickly closed the secret passage. She took a deep breath, tidied her messy hair, straightened her back, and walked towards the palace door with light lotus steps.

At this moment, the palace door was banged open, and Wu Han led his troops in. Seeing Yun Se alone, he was stunned at first, then knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in salute, and said in a low voice, but his curiosity could not be concealed: "Your Majesty... I wonder if the little prince is okay?"

Yun Se felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She raised her chin slightly, her expression cold, "He was born with a deficiency and died young."

Wu Han held his sword and said, "Died young? Since ancient times, the eldest son has always been the heir, not the youngest. Your Majesty should come to court soon and announce the succession."

Yun Se looked at Wu Han calmly and said, "I will go to court when I recover."

"You guys stay here and protect His Majesty." Wu Han's eyes were cold. "As for those midwives, kill them all." The temperature in the hall seemed to drop a few degrees, and Yun Se's heart sank to the bottom.

Yun Se stood in the main hall of the bedroom, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly bulging.

She was burning with rage, thinking to herself: This Wu Han seems to be a decent person on weekdays, when did he develop such evil ambitions?

He had always been cautious inside and outside the palace, yet he hadn't noticed anything unusual about her. Which princess was she trying to help ascend to the throne, daring to so brazenly force her way out of the palace?

The more Yun Se thought about it, the angrier she became, and her chest heaved violently, but her composure as a queen over the years allowed her to suppress her anger, and she absolutely could not lose her composure at this moment.

She stared at Wu Han intently, her eyes like a sharp blade, as if she wanted to see through him.

At this moment, Wu Han lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but the armor on his body was shining with a cold and hard light under the candlelight in the hall.

Yun Se took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm and steady, and said, "Wu Han, please leave first. You're tired. Someone, bring some water for a bath."
