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

A young imperial physician was the first to catch his breath and stepped forward to take Su Yan's pulse.

The moment the imperial physician placed his hand on her pulse, her eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing this, Qin Yan quickly asked, "How is it?"

The imperial physician carefully examined her pulse again, and said with a joyful expression, "Your Majesty, the Empress's pulse indicates she is pregnant!"

"What pregnancy pulse?" Qin Yan didn't react.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's pulse indicates pregnancy! This means the Empress is pregnant again!"

Five breaths of silence filled the palace before Qin Yan's delighted voice rang out, "Are you sure the Empress is pregnant?"

"I'm sure!"

"All of you, come over here and check if the Empress is pregnant." Qin Yan's palms were sweating with excitement.

The imperial physicians took Qin Yan's pulse one by one and congratulated him on his success.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress is one month pregnant."

.........

After all the imperial physicians had examined her and confirmed that she was pregnant, Qin Yan could no longer contain his joy and laughed loudly, "Good! The Empress is pregnant, which is a great joy. Everyone in the palace will be rewarded with a month's salary!"

You'll also be rewarded! You'll receive three months' salary!

The following sentence was addressed to the imperial physicians.

Everyone who received the reward knelt down with beaming smiles and loudly congratulated Qin Yan, who then burst into laughter.

Su Yan was woken up by the noise. Without opening her eyes, she frowned and grumbled, "Your Majesty, please be quiet!"

Instantly, all sounds in the palace vanished, becoming so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

Everyone lowered their heads to the ground, not daring to look at His Majesty's expression.

They weren't worried about the Empress, because everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty valued the Empress more than himself.

When the Empress complains to His Majesty, His Majesty not only doesn't get angry, but he also apologizes to the Empress.

But His Majesty is only so lenient and gentle with the Empress and the young Crown Prince; he wouldn't be like that with them.

They dare to laugh at His Majesty; they'll surely be punished.

"Everyone, step back quietly and don't make a sound," Qin Yan instructed the crowd in a very low voice.

Everyone slowed their breathing and treaded lightly as they silently withdrew from the emperor's palace.

Qin Yan took off his coat and lay down, carefully pulling Su Yan, whose eyes were full of sleepiness, into his arms, avoiding her stomach. He excitedly kissed her hair, forehead, cheeks, and lips, "Yan'er, we're having another baby."

In response, Su Yan slapped him across the face and pushed his head back. "Your Majesty! I'm really sleepy. Don't disturb my sleep."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I won't disturb your sleep anymore, okay?" Qin Yan helplessly and affectionately took her hand off his face, and obediently held her without kissing her anymore.

Su Yan slept well during the day, but couldn't fall asleep at night no matter what she did.

Qin Yan was also too excited to sleep, so he held her in his arms and told her about a major event in the court.

"Yan'er, the Western Regions Kingdom was defeated by the Great Zhou three months ago and proposed to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou and sign a ten-year peace treaty."

However, the treaty was not agreed upon. The king of the Western Regions did not want to cede territory or pay reparations. He wanted to exchange his daughter, Princess Zizhu, for a ten-year peace treaty, but I did not agree.

The king of the Western Regions then proposed that Princess Zizhu and her envoy come to the Great Zhou to congratulate me on my birthday, so that I could meet Princess Zizhu first and then continue to discuss the treaty.

Princess Zizhu departed from the capital of the Western Regions Kingdom two months ago and should arrive in Kunjing in about a month.

"It sounds like the king of the Western Regions thinks His Majesty will agree to his proposal once he meets Princess Zizhu? Is there something special about Princess Zizhu that makes the king so confident?" Su Yan asked curiously, looking up as she played with his slender hand.

Qin Yan scoffed dismissively, "I've heard that Princess Zizhu is the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions, and every man who has seen her wants to have her."

I've also heard that many talented young men from the Western Regions have sought to marry Princess Zizhu from the king of the Western Regions.

After saying that, seeing Su Yan frown, Qin Yan quickly stated his attitude, "Don't worry, Yan'er, no matter if that Princess Zizhu is a celestial being descended to earth or a fox spirit in the world, I will not take a fancy to her."

My heart, and my soul, have long since set their sights on Yan'er alone; no one can sway them!

After saying that, Qin Yan lowered his head and gently kissed her.

Su Yan raised her arms to hug his neck and returned his kiss.

Qin Yan was afraid that he would lose control, so he stopped after kissing for only a short while.

Su Yan pressed her cheek against his chest, looking somewhat sullen. "Your Majesty, if all the court officials were to request that you agree to exchange Princess Zizhu for ten years of peace with the Western Regions, would you agree?"

"No!" Qin Yan said firmly.

"No matter who begs or forces me, I will not take that Princess Zizhu."

"Besides... Yan'er, those court officials aren't fools. Given a choice between a woman and several cities, they'll definitely choose the cities. You don't need to worry about them joining forces to force me to accept that Princess Zizhu."

"Um…"

Why are you still unhappy?

"Your Majesty, what if Princess Zizhu is more beautiful than me and you fall in love with her at first sight?"

Qin Yan laughed angrily, "In your eyes, I'm just someone who gets lustful at first sight and is fickle?"

“Aren’t all men like this? What’s wrong with me thinking that way?” Su Yan said matter-of-factly.

Qin Yan was furious and lowered his head to bite her lips hard.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

"You still know what pain is? It hurts my heart to think of me like that!" Qin Yan said, feeling a little aggrieved.

Su Yan sat up straight and reached out to touch his head. "It was wrong of you, Ayan. Your Majesty, that you shouldn't have thought of me that way. Ayan was wrong. Your Majesty, don't feel wronged."

"Are you trying to fool me like Xu'er?" Qin Yan felt a strange sensation in his heart.

No one had ever stroked his head and comforted him like that before.

"Give me another pat on the head to comfort me!" Qin Yan lowered his head and asked her to pat his head.

Su Yan chuckled and patted him several times, saying, "Your Majesty is not wronged, Your Majesty is not wronged."

"I won't feel wronged, considering how hard Yan'er tried to coax me!" Qin Yan raised his chin arrogantly.

This made Su Yan laugh so hard her eyes crinkled. "We should really let those court officials see what His Majesty looks like now, and see who still says His Majesty is a cold-faced tyrant."

"Those people are not worthy to see me like this. In this world, only Yan'er is worthy to see me like this!" Qin Yan hugged her again, his large hand supporting the back of her head. He lowered his head and kissed her, his actions extremely tender.

.........

This time, Qin Yan kept Su Yan's pregnancy a secret from the court officials, Empress Dowager Liu, Empress Dowager Jiang, and others.

Especially Empress Dowager Jiang, Qin Yan not only kept it a secret from her, but also sent more secret guards to keep an eye on her.

She was afraid that if Su Yan found out she was pregnant, she would harm Su Yan.

Ever since Qin Yang was poisoned to death by Qin Yan five years ago, Empress Dowager Jiang has gone mad, cursing him every day. She even bribed the palace maids and eunuchs to kill Qin Xu, so that Qin Yan and Su Yan could also experience the pain of losing a child.

Some palace maids and eunuchs were too timid to agree and even ran to inform Qin Yan and Su Yan.

Qin Yan then sent his secret guards to keep an eye on Empress Dowager Jiang, which prevented her from killing young Qin Xu.
