Quick Travel: After binding the fertility system, I became pregnant again and again

Ying Xixi made a casual guess and turned around to see Zhao Yuxiao looking thoughtful.

"Xixi, your guesses are basically accurate every time.

Maybe the late emperor really left a will.

That's why the emperor is so afraid of me.

Otherwise, even if I knew my background and even if I really wanted that position, it is not certain that the officials would support me.

I only have half of the military power and am in charge of just one-third of the army.

If the Emperor commanded two-thirds of the army to fight against me, I would not necessarily win.

But he was a little too wary of me.

Unless there really is a will, he has taken my place."

Zhao Yuxiao's voice was a little hoarse and a little ethereal.

As he said these words, his head ached slightly, as if something was about to break out of its cage.

"Then let's investigate this, maybe we'll find something new."

Ying Xixi gave orders to the secret guards.

"Yes."

The secret guard agreed and left.

Seeing that Zhao Yuxiao looked a little painful, Ying Xixi stood up and gently rubbed the acupoints on his head.

"Husband, trying to recall lost memories will give you a headache, don't force yourself."

Zhao Yuxiao held Ying Xixi's hand, his voice filled with loss.

“If I could recall, maybe I would know more.

Xixi, to be honest, I always have a feeling that I'm dreaming, and none of this is real at all.

I am clearly Zhao Yuxiao, and clearly a member of the Zhao family.

How did he become a member of the royal family?

I don't want to be a member of the royal family at all, and I don't want to be an emperor.

Xixi, if I go to the emperor and tell him straight out that I will not compete with him for the throne, will he believe me?

Will he stop targeting us?"

Zhao Yuxiao murmured to this point, and without waiting for Ying Xixi to answer, he smiled at himself.

“That’s pretty stupid. If I really did that, I’m afraid the emperor would be more wary of me.

Xixi, it seems that I only have one choice, I have no other choice. "

Zhao Yuxiao, a tall and mighty man, lay in his wife's arms and murmured his inner thoughts.

Ying Xixi stroked his hair soothingly.

"Husband, you only have one choice, which is to sit in that position.

This is the only choice we have if we want to live.

Don't be afraid, I will always be with you.

We can let the secret guards investigate the clues first. If we can get the imperial edict, everything will be easy."

"Ah."

Under the candlelight, the couple embraced each other quietly, and the atmosphere was warm.

That night, an assassin sneaked into the general's mansion and began to assassinate him.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuxiao had always been on guard, so there were no casualties and Ying Xixi was not woken up.

Zhao Yuxiao got up, put on his clothes, and stood in front of the window for half the night. The coldness in his eyes became more intense and more determined.

The next day, when Ying Xixi was preparing to eat, the system alarm suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Ding ding ding! Saffron is detected in the food the host is about to eat!

Host, don't eat, don't eat, don't eat! 】

Ying Xixi's head was buzzing and she quickly put down the spoon.

As soon as I put it down, the alarm in my head finally stopped.

"System, are there any problems with the food in front of me?"

Ying Xixi asked the system in her mind.

[Yes, almost all of them are filled with saffron or other things that can cause miscarriage in pregnant women, but these things are not poisonous and cannot be detected by silver needle testing.]

"Well, it seems that the emperor has already reached into the general's mansion. You should check if there are any other things with problems, such as incense burners and sachets."

Those things are the easiest to tamper with.

[Host, rest assured, everything else is safe. The system will monitor all the time and ensure the safety of you and your baby. ]

"That's good."

Ying Xixi looked at the maids waiting by the side.

"I have no appetite. Take all the food away."

The maids wanted to persuade her, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to leave.

"Madam, you can't just not eat anything. If you want to eat something else, I can go buy it for you."

Lin Hua, the personal maid, stepped forward and advised.

Ying Xixi was actually really hungry, and it was impossible for her not to eat. Although she could take out some bread, cake, etc. from the space to satisfy her hunger, she still had to eat something on the surface, just so that she could see who the person who had been bribed was.

"Okay, I want to eat the shortbread from the shop on the corner of East Street. I want the ones with red bean paste filling."

"Yes, I will buy it right away."

After Lin Hua left, other maids came to ask Ying Xixi if she wanted to eat anything.

She told them all about the food outside and asked them to go out and buy some.

The maids came back with food one after another.

"System, can you please see what is wrong?"

Ying Xixi asked the system in her mind.

After a round of testing, the system found that five of the foods were added with substances that could cause miscarriage in pregnant women.

Ying Xixi: "......"

In total, there were eight maids who went out to buy food, and five of them were bribed to harm her.

Ying Xixi wrote down the names of the five maids, asked them to leave, and then called the secret guards to keep an eye on them.

He also called the court physician and asked him to check the five meals.

The court doctor took a quick sniff and found something wrong.

In the evening, Ying Xixi waited for Zhao Yuxiao to come back and told him about this.

He immediately sent people to take the five maids away for interrogation, and searched the entire general's mansion. It turned out that at least half of the servants had been bribed!

Zhao Yuxiao was furious and killed all the traitors.

Moreover, they repeated the same trick and brought the corpses to the palace during the morning court session the next day, asking the emperor to make the decision.

If the emperor didn't want to expose himself, he would have scolded Zhao Yuxiao and asked if he was crazy.

Zhao Yuxiao's move worked last time and it worked this time as well.

The emperor felt that those people who had been bribed in the general's mansion were too useless, so he temporarily stopped letting the secret guards bribe anyone.

Instead, they planned to wait for Zhao Yuxiao to buy people from outside and then blend their own people in.

Of course, this is a long-term plan.

The emperor also had a short-term plan. He wanted to wait until Ying Xixi went out and then send someone to create an accident.

But his short-term plan could not be realized.

Because Ying Xixi never goes out.

No matter who invited her out, she declined on the grounds that she needed to take care of her pregnancy.

This made the emperor even more furious, and he could only wait for the long-term plan to be carried out.

But the emperor may not be able to see it.

Because the secret guards that Zhao Yuxiao sent to investigate in the palace actually found clues to the late emperor's will!

"Master, Madam, I have discovered that the late emperor did leave behind a will to pass on the throne.

But even the current emperor doesn't know where the edict is.

The reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne was because the previous emperor passed away too suddenly, and he was the only heir left in the royal family at that time."
