The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

But Qin Yan felt it wasn't enough to hurt his feelings, so he took little Qin Xu and held him in front of Qin Yang, boasting, "You say I deserve not to have my own child?"

Look at my son and Yan'er's son! He looks like both me and Yan'er, inheriting the best features from both of us. Everyone can tell at a glance that he is my and Yan'er's child!

Upon seeing Xiao Qinxu, Qin Yang felt as if his mind had been struck by a hammer, his reason shattered.

"Ah—impossible! This absolutely cannot be your and Chang Le's child!"

Qin Yang's sudden roar startled little Qin Xu. Qin Yan quickly picked him up with one hand and gently patted his back, "Xu'er, don't be afraid. Father will take you home to find your mother. We won't look at this madman."

After Qin Yan left, Qin Yang went crazy, constantly shouting "Impossible!" Even when soldiers kicked and hit him to shut up, he kept repeating those three words.

Two days later, Qin Yan received news that Qin Yang had gone mad.

He spent his days in prison calling out "Chang Le" to himself, talking to the air.

Another month passed. Qin Yang treated the poisoned wine as if it were a toast, pretending to drink from the air as if they were drinking from the same cup. Half an hour later, he smiled, shed tears, and breathed his last.

Long before Qin Yang was imprisoned and his deeds became known throughout the world, Su Yan's side quest was already complete.

Su Yan has now completed two side quests and the main quest, and can choose to leave this world.

She simply didn't want her child to be without a mother, nor could she bear to part with the villain who loved her so dearly, so she chose to stay and wait until the end of this body's life before leaving.

When Qin Xu was five years old, Su Yan couldn't resist the system's pleas and felt sorry for her son who would be all alone after she and Qin Yan died, so she chose to get pregnant again.

This time she is pregnant with twins, both boys. She can choose whether the twins look alike or not.

Su Yan chose a child who didn't resemble her.

She also wanted to shut up the mouths of those courtiers who had never given up on sending their granddaughters or daughters into the palace to give birth to princes and become the maternal relatives of the next emperor.

They say all day long that Qin Yan only has one son and that there is no guarantee of his safety. If something happens to the young crown prince, then the Great Zhou will fall into turmoil again, with the princes vying for the throne. They unite every day to submit memorials to Qin Yan requesting him to select a concubine.

Su Yan chose two sons who did not look alike in order to extinguish the ambitions of those court officials.

However, she was only a month pregnant and hadn't had time to ask the imperial physician to take her pulse and tell Qin Yan the news when Qin Yan suddenly contracted smallpox and fell into a coma within two days.

The imperial physicians were unable to cure Qin Yan for five consecutive days. Su Yan stayed by Qin Yan's side every day, watching his condition worsen. She then spent all her points to buy him a pill that could cure all diseases.

After taking the pill, Qin Yan woke up at dusk that day.

Seeing Su Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, looking extremely haggard, he became anxious. "Yan'er, didn't I tell you not to come looking for me?"

He had smallpox, which is contagious and can be fatal!

She has always been physically weak, making her more susceptible to infection than others, and also more likely to recover than others.

She might have already been infected.

"Yan'er, go back quickly, don't stay here."

“I’ve been here for five days already. If it were contagious, I would have caught it long ago. Your Majesty, please don’t send Ayan away. Ayan will be scared and cry all the time if she can’t see Your Majesty.” Su Yan held his hand and pressed her face against his warm palm.

Qin Yan's eyes welled up with tears. "Yan'er, why are you so foolish?"

"Nonsense! I'm not stupid! I just... love Your Majesty too much, and can't live without Your Majesty..." Tears streamed down Su Yan's face, wetting his dry palms.

She was terrified that he would abandon her and the child like this.

Qin Yan stroked her small face, his heart filled with tenderness and overwhelming love.

In the past, whenever he coaxed Yan'er to tell him that she loved him, Yan'er would blush and rush into his arms, covering his mouth.

And at the very beginning, after she fell for him, she never dared to express her feelings, but would only look at him with affectionate eyes.

This time, Yan'er actually took the initiative to express her love for him. It seems that his illness really frightened Yan'er.

He needs to get better quickly so he can spend more time with Yan'er!

At this moment, the system excitedly said to Su Yan, "Host, the villain's favorability has finally reached 100! After leaving this world, you will receive an extra reward!"

Su Yan's eyes flashed; she had finally reached one hundred.

Five years ago, Qin Yan accompanied her during childbirth. Seeing how much pain she was in, his favorability rating reached 95.

But the next five points rose very slowly, only increasing by a little bit each year, and this year it's exactly ninety-nine, just one point short.

This time, she braved danger to stay by Qin Yan's side, partly because she was genuinely afraid he would leave her and their five-year-old son behind.

As a modern person, she had many questions about ancient politics, and she was afraid that if she were to rule from behind the curtain, she would make wrong decisions that would harm the people.

She was also afraid that she would not be able to educate her son well, and that the Great Zhou Dynasty would perish under his leadership.

The second point is that I want to take this opportunity to max out the last bit of goodwill.

The result was good; Qin Yan recovered quickly after taking the antidote and also gained the last bit of goodwill towards her.

Su Yan happily instructed the palace servants to prepare food, hot water, and clean clothes so that Qin Yan could eat his fill, take a bath, and change into dry clothes.

In just one night, Qin Yan was completely cured, so quickly that it was as if he had never had smallpox at all.

The next morning, Qin Yan went to court in a cheerful mood.

He had missed court for the first six days due to illness, and with a backlog of official business, the court officials raised many urgent matters during the morning court session for discussion, and then asked him to make a decision.

The morning court session lasted until noon.

When Qin Yan returned to his palace after court and saw that Su Yan was still asleep, his good mood vanished instantly.

Yan'er fell asleep before it got dark yesterday and didn't wake up at all during the night.

Even if you're exhausted, you should have slept well by now.

Why does her face still look so tired?

He turned to look at the palace maids behind him and asked in a deep voice, "Has the Empress not woken up all morning?"

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress did not wake up this morning. This servant waited until the beginning of Chenshi (7-9 AM) to wake Her Majesty. Her Majesty said that she had not rested well in the past few days and was very tired. She ate half a bowl of chicken soup porridge and then fell asleep again. She also instructed us not to disturb her." Jingxia, who was already a senior palace maid, stepped forward to report.

Qin Yan was still not entirely at ease, so he beckoned to a young eunuch and said, "You, go and summon the imperial physicians immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physicians on duty were dragged over by the guards, arriving breathless and unable to speak even while bowing.

Qin Yan waved his hand directly, "No need for formalities, quickly take the Empress's pulse to see if she is ill."

He had smallpox before, which is contagious.

Please, please don't let Yan'er get smallpox!
