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

They were afraid that once His Majesty showed up, the midwives would be distracted and make mistakes, which would be disadvantageous to the Queen.

Finally, the second baby cry was heard, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they could still survive.

Then His Majesty pushed the door open and walked in. He ignored the wet nurse who came to announce the good news and hugged the exhausted Shen Muxue tightly: "How is Xue'er?"

"Has your Majesty gone to see the child?"

"Not yet. I'll have someone bring the baby over for you to see."

Nanny Yu came over with the child in her arms, smiling brightly. "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty! I'm holding a little princess in my arms. This little darling is so cute and adorable, with such a tender little face. She's so adorable!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud cry echoed in the air, as if this new life was announcing its arrival to the world.

The wet nurse quickly took the baby, patted her back gently, and prepared to feed her.

"Everyone has been rewarded. You may withdraw first and do not disturb the Empress's rest."

The emperor spoke gently to the palace maids, his tone showing a hint of fatigue but more of joy.

Shen Muxue couldn't help but laugh. She gently asked, "Your Majesty, we have a couple, and a baby too. Shouldn't we let the other one come and meet them?"

Hearing this, the emperor realized that he had another darling. He immediately asked someone to bring him over quickly, for fear of missing the opportunity to witness this moment.

Nanny Yu quickly took the other child and gently showed it to the emperor and Shen Muxue, gently introducing him, "Your Majesty, please look, this is a handsome little prince. He is looking around with bright eyes, as if he can't wait to get to know the world."

Nanny Yu suggested, "Your Majesty, would you like to hold your little prince first? After all, this is also a special moment."

Her words were full of anticipation, hoping to make the first contact between father and son more heartwarming.

The Emperor leaned over to look at the little creature, then shook his head and said, "My hands are heavy, and I'm worried about hurting his delicate body. It's better to wait until he's a little older before holding him. The most important thing now is to have the imperial physician examine you thoroughly."

When Xuan Yang Palace was completely enveloped by this joyful atmosphere, Shen Lingwei, who had been hiding behind the crowd, finally mustered up the courage to step forward and ask Xiao Linzi, who was standing by and waiting on the side: "Eunuch, can we leave now? There are still many things waiting to be dealt with outside."

Xiao Linzi's smile became a little forced. He didn't answer directly, but said, "You wait here."

Then he hurried into the inner room, leaving Shen Lingwei there at a loss.

At this time, Shen Muxue had already fallen asleep, but the emperor was still waiting by her side, gazing at her quiet and peaceful face with gentle eyes, without even moving his eyeballs, for fear of missing any change in her.

Xiao Linzi tiptoed up to the emperor and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has just discovered something wrong with that string of Buddhist beads. It contains an ingredient that can weaken the body. It seems someone is trying to exhaust the Empress while she's giving birth, leading to her death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor slowly stood up from the bed, like a beast just awakened from a deep sleep, his eyes flashing with anger and determination, as if ready to destroy everything in front of him.

Xiao Linzi had served the emperor for so many years, and this was the first time he saw the emperor look so murderous. He couldn't help but feel nervous and quickly added, "The Shen family is the queen's family, and they are also relatives of the emperor. Your Majesty, you must think carefully about this."

After hearing this, the emperor, who was almost devoured by the evil thoughts in his heart, finally regained some of his sanity. He couldn't just lose control and hurt others.

"Send the order down and investigate this matter thoroughly."

Although his voice was much calmer, it still carried unquestionable majesty.

When Shen Muxue woke up, she found that the emperor was no longer around, so she asked Yu Ma beside her curiously: "Where is the emperor?"

Nanny Yu immediately knelt on the ground and said in a tearful voice: "There is something wrong with that string of Buddhist beads. It can make the queen die of exhaustion. The emperor found out the truth and knew that the mastermind was the queen mother. He has ordered the siege of the queen mother's bedroom. She should be there now..." When she said the last sentence, her voice became a little intermittent, as if she still had a lot to say in her heart.

Nanny Yu hesitated, and Shen Muxue immediately understood the emperor's plan.

Given his temper, I'm afraid he will take action against the Queen Mother himself.

"Hurry up and stop the emperor. Tell him that I'm suddenly feeling unwell. Go quickly."

There was a hint of anxiety in her tone, but more of it was calm and decisive.

How could the Queen Mother be allowed to go so easily?

Her reputation wasn't bad enough, so no one would be satisfied if she died like this.

More importantly, the emperor must never be allowed to kill the empress dowager with his own hands, otherwise he will be charged with the crime of murdering his biological mother and become a recognized tyrant.

This is extremely unfavorable for the entire country and the royal family.

The Queen Mother also thought so.

No matter how angry the emperor was, he could not really attack her.

In the past few months, she has frequently summoned ladies from outside the imperial court, and each time she has directly hinted that the emperor favors the imperial concubine more than her, his biological mother.

Through such efforts, everyone in the capital now knows that the emperor is unfilial.

If anything happened to the Queen Mother, the first person to be suspected would definitely be the Emperor.

In this way, the empress dowager not only saved her own life, but also further weakened the emperor's prestige, killing two birds with one stone.

If the emperor still cared about his historical reputation, he would not have taken action against the empress dowager.

It was based on such considerations that she dared so boldly to give the Queen Mother a string of Buddhist beads.

Besides, the Buddhist beads were originally a gift from the Shen family. If this matter really gets out of hand, the responsibility can be cleverly shifted to others.

In this way, you can vent your anger and get away with it safely.

Therefore, after hearing that the imperial concubine had given birth prematurely, she had been waiting anxiously in the bedroom, looking forward to hearing the sad news of "one corpse and three lives", and she actually felt a strange sense of joy in her heart.

But unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. After just a moment, her bedroom was surrounded by the Royal Guards.

She cried out anxiously in the palace, angrily cursing, "Your Majesty, you lunatic! You have absolutely no regard for the dignity of the royal family or the impact on society, let alone how future generations will view your actions. You actually openly committed such a shameful act of matricide, a shameful act of utterly utter shamelessness."

In extreme panic and fear, she even considered burning herself in the palace to avoid falling into the hands of the emperor and being killed by his butcher knife.

Fortunately, an hour later, all the soldiers guarding the palace door suddenly withdrew.

Although the Queen Mother's life was temporarily saved, she was frightened by this sudden incident and fell ill. She seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
