Shen Leyan was also frightened. When she came to her senses, she looked at Emperor Yong'an's angry face and immediately took his hand and comforted him, "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"Don't blame them, I just accidentally slipped."

"It's snowing, and the roads are already slippery. Why don't you help the Queen in, but instead just enjoy yourself?"

"I think you just think the Queen is too easy to talk to, so you neglect your duties like this."

Shen Leyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Qinglian wanted to help me in just now, but I insisted on going in alone."

"I thought it was just a few steps, so I didn't let them follow..."

"Don't be angry, I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Don't always think about pleading for others. What should you do if you encounter something like this next time?"

"It is absolutely true. How dare I deceive Your Majesty?"

"I know Your Majesty is worried about me, and I promise I won't be so reckless next time.

Emperor Yong'an thought about it and it seemed that the palace maid next to her was indeed about to help her go back.

They did not explain or defend themselves, but kowtowed and admitted their mistakes. It can be imagined that they really knew that it was their dereliction of duty.

His expression softened slightly, "No matter what, it's your fault today. Even with the Queen's plea, you should be punished."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Leyan shook his arm pitifully, trying to beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong'an did not buy into her look this time.

"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me."

"Just lie down obediently, and let the imperial physician examine you thoroughly later."

Seeing that he was really angry this time, Shen Leyan had no choice but to lie down obediently, but she felt a little guilty.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so stubborn...

"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. We servants are willing to accept the punishment."

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't punish me, I will still feel uneasy."

"It is my fault that I failed to protect the Majesty, and I deserve to be punished."

"I just hope that your Majesty is safe and sound."

"As long as the emperor doesn't punish me and I leave Jingren Palace, I will be fine. I sincerely admit my mistake and will never let this happen again."

"Your Majesty, please allow us servants to stay here and serve the Empress!"

For them, punishment is a small matter, as long as it allows them to continue staying here...

The palace maids all liked their master Shen Leyan very much, because their relationship was not a cold master-servant one, but a warm one.

The entire Jingren Palace is like a warm big family, and Shen Leyan is their center. She is the one who warms everyone.

They felt very guilty about this incident, but luckily the Queen was fine...

When Shen Leyan heard this, she was so moved that she burst into tears. She was already feeling guilty, and now it was even worse.

She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her eyes were red and crystal tears were welling up in them.

Even if Emperor Yong'an was angry, his heart was soft as a mess at this moment.

No one else could bear her like this. They would hold her in their arms with heartache and comfort her softly.

"Forget it. Considering that you guys are usually quite dedicated, I'll let it go this time."

"It just so happens that today is the Winter Solstice Festival, and I don't want to ruin the fun, but please don't let anything like today happen again!"

When the palace servants heard this, they shouted in unison to express their gratitude.

"This servant/slave bows to thank the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this kind of thing will never happen again."

"The person you should thank the most is your mother."

"Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue, we servants will always remember it in our hearts and will never forget it!"

Shen Leyan burst into laughter and nodded slightly to the palace maids.

Emperor Yong'an scratched her nose helplessly, "You are the only one who is soft-hearted."

"It's obvious that His Majesty was also moved and didn't want to punish them."

"I am still doing this because of you, Yan'er, don't you know that I can't stand you crying the most?" Emperor Yong'an said with a hard mouth but a soft heart.

"Your Majesty is starting to say one thing and mean another again..."

Humph, he often bullied her until she cried and begged for mercy...

But he was here saying seriously that he couldn't bear to see her cry, but she didn't believe it!

"Okay, let the doctor come and check you out."

Doctor Lin came quickly to take Shen Leyan's pulse, and after a careful examination, he found that Shen Leyan was pregnant.

However, the baby is still young, so the pulse is not obvious. However, in order to avoid mistakes, he repeated the diagnosis several times.

Emperor Yong'an watched as Doctor Lin repeatedly took Shen Leyan's pulse with a very serious expression, thinking that something had happened to Shen Leyan.

He asked nervously, "Doctor Lin, where did the Queen get hurt just now?"

"Your Highness was just a little frightened, she's fine."

Emperor Yong'an was relieved after hearing this.

"But..." He looked embarrassed, wondering how to bring up the matter of the dragon fetus.

"But you'd better tell me what it is!" Emperor Yong'an's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose to his throat again.

"The Empress is pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy and her pulse is weak. I have just confirmed this after taking her pulse several times." Doctor Lin bowed his head respectfully after saying this.

When these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

Emperor Yong'an was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Holding Shen Leyan's hand tightly, he was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly: "Yan'er, we have a child."

Shen Leyan was surprised and happy, and gently stroked her abdomen.

She couldn't believe that there was already a little life in her belly...

Then she calmed down and looked at the doctor's expression, and said nervously, "Doctor Lin, I almost fell just now. Is the child hurt?"

"Reporting to the Queen, that is not the case."

"It's just that I'm worried that the medicine your majesty took to regulate your body will have an impact on the dragon fetus..."

"What?" The smile on Emperor Yong'an's face disappeared instantly.

He couldn't help but want to get angry, "What's going on? Didn't you say it was a tonic? How could it have any effect?"

Imperial Physician Lin trembled and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Logically, there should be no problem. However, medicine is toxic. This is just a concern of yours..."

"Please allow me to return to the Imperial Hospital and discuss this with the other imperial physicians. Your Majesty no longer needs to take the tonic soup."

Shen Leyan nodded and agreed, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Lin."

Emperor Yong'an felt that his mood was really up and down today. There had not been such a big fluctuation in the past thirty years.

"Well, Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Lin has always been cautious, so that's why I said that."

"We should be happy now that we finally have a child."

Emperor Yong'an took her hand and said loudly, "From today on, everyone in Jingren Palace must take good care of the Empress. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive her lightly."

The palace maids hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, hoping in their hearts that the Queen and the little prince were safe and sound!
