Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

And on that day, I was fortunately saved by the emperor and was able to enter the palace.

General Shen, who was extremely angry, crushed the cup in his hand into pieces and was extremely furious at Wang's behavior.

"What a vicious person."

The eldest brother banged the table again angrily.

The second brother stood up and prepared to go out: "I'm going to go back and deal with this woman myself."

Seeing her family's mixed emotions of concern and anger, Shen Muxue felt both moved and anxious.

The two older brothers are always prone to acting impulsively, which will undoubtedly give people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage.

"Father, there's a little girl in the mansion named Ruizhu who knows the whole story. Nanny Liu is also aware of this. You can go ask them for details. These are turbulent times, so please don't act rashly. You should be more thoughtful when handling such a difficult matter."

Hearing his sister's mature remarks, the eldest brother smiled apologetically and replied, "Our little girl has grown up to be so sensible."

The second brother touched his head and said shyly, "Ever since she was little, I've known that this little girl is very thoughtful."

Faced with this situation, General Shen could only smile bitterly and say, "I've left you all alone in the capital for so many years. It seems I really underestimated the scheming of that woman Wang."

"Father, you don't need to blame yourself. After all, you can only see the surface of a person but not his heart. I hope you can handle this matter properly. Don't let a mere person affect the reputation of the entire family."

In fact, Shen Muxue was very worried that her father would take extreme actions against Wang after returning home. This would not only cause rumors unfavorable to the Shen family to spread in the outside world, but also damage his own reputation and image.

The family then continued to discuss the good news about Shen Muxue's upcoming coronation and the unborn baby, and they chatted until late at night before bidding farewell to each other.

Watching the figure walking away, Nanny Yang tried to comfort her, "Your Majesty, please don't be sad. The enthronement ceremony will be coming soon, and we will surely see each other again then."

After returning to his residence with a heart full of anger, General Shen immediately regained his senses when he saw his sons holding swords and about to go to the main courtyard.

"Quickly call Ruizhu and Aunt Liu to the study."

Soon, Ruizhu and Liu Ma came to the study. General Shen did not need to use any criminal law. He just asked his two sons with fierce faces to stand there, and the two of them told everything like a flood that broke through the dam.

The two young masters of the Shen family gripped the knife handles tightly with their fingers, making a creaking sound. If General Shen had not stepped forward to stop them, the main courtyard would probably have been littered with corpses today.

General Shen, who had fought at the border for many years, returned to the capital quietly. However, because he was the emperor's father-in-law, he became the focus of everyone's attention, and visitors came in an endless stream, like a swarm of bees.

In desperation, the Shen family chose to keep a low profile. Not only did they not invite anyone to visit, they also closed the door, forcing those who came to visit to leave in disappointment.

Only Shen Muxue in the palace knew what happened inside the mansion.

In the early morning, Nanny Yang arrived to report, "Nanny Liu and Ruizhu stole valuable items from the mansion. Madam discovered them and attempted to harm them. Fortunately, Madam was resourceful and escaped. They have now been punished according to the family rules."

According to the traditional family rules of the Shen family, severe punishment with military sticks is required, so it is impossible for the master and servant to survive.

"Father didn't even open the door. Is he planning to give up on holding Wang's funeral?"

Nanny Yang curled her lips and replied, "This evil woman is indeed unworthy of being buried in our Shen family's ancestral tomb. The general has decided to bury her next to the temple to purify her sinful body."

"But if anyone notices this... it's likely to cause a lot of discussion that no one mourned my mother after she passed away."

Although she was secretly glad in her heart, she knew that outward appearances were still necessary in order to maintain the family's reputation.

"Master has instructed that if anyone inquires, we should explain that since the Empress is about to be crowned Empress, all funeral ceremonies should be kept simple to avoid disturbing her."

"It seems she picked a most inappropriate day to die."

From then on, no one mentioned the woman who was once the emperor's mother.

Even when she was absent at the time of the queen's enthronement, no one said much, as if such a character had never existed in the world.

The ceremony of crowning the queen was unprecedentedly grand. Shen Muxue, standing on the high platform and looking at the many officials and common people crawling at her feet, suddenly felt a sense of comfort for her former self.

Everything lost will eventually return in another form.

After the ceremony, Shen Muxue devoted herself to preparations for delivery.

The Queen Mother had pleaded with the Emperor several times regarding Prince Xian'an's case, but the Emperor refused to relent as his past behavior was too outrageous.

Now, considering the upcoming birth of a new baby, the emperor is worried about any form of possible disturbance. In particular, he does not want to see his brother-in-law get into trouble again or the empress dowager's health deteriorate, otherwise he will find it difficult to balance the responsibilities of taking care of his lover and the newborn baby.

In Yixiang Palace, the days passed one by one.

The maid, Madam Hu, suggested, "Why don't the Empress Dowager pay more attention to the Empress? Perhaps if Her Majesty is pleased, she might change her mind."

"Nonsense! For a mother to curry favor with her daughter-in-law is utterly shameful!"

After hearing this, Matron Hu fell silent and thought to herself: If I don't take the initiative to show goodwill, Prince An will never be free again.

In fact, everyone present knew that as long as His Majesty could make his beloved happy and satisfied, he would be willing to do anything, even to the extreme of picking stars and embracing the moon.

However, the Queen Mother was stubborn and still immersed in the longing for her grandchildren, so much so that she ignored the fact that a new member was about to be born in her own brother's family.

In this way, time passed by little by little.

One day, a young eunuch came running in in a panic: "The Queen is giving birth, come quickly, the Queen is giving birth!"

The Queen Mother, who was concentrating on reciting the sutra, suddenly stopped and asked hurriedly, "Has the Emperor left yet?"

"Yes, His Majesty went there directly from the morning court."

Madam Hu urged the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, let's go over there quickly."

"Don't worry. First-time labor usually takes a long time, sometimes lasting a day or two. It's not too late to go in the afternoon."

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother's prediction came to nothing.

Shen Muxue took many drugs to promote labor, and the delivery went unexpectedly smoothly.

Just as she was about to have her meal in the morning, she suddenly discovered that water was seeping under her skirt.

The midwife who had been on standby quickly recognized that this was a sign of amniotic fluid rupture and quickly notified the emperor and the imperial physician.

Everyone at the scene was busy, only Shen Muxue was able to calmly finish her breakfast before lying down on the bed to prepare for delivery.

In order to avoid appearing unusually strong and being criticized, she had to feign pain and let out cries of pain.

When His Majesty entered the Lingxiao Palace and heard the painful cry, he rushed to the delivery room anxiously and held Shen Muxue's hand tightly, "Muxue, don't be afraid, I am by your side, everything will be fine."
