After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 165: Seeking the Emperor’s Help

The emperor stood up in shock, "Look again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physician was very puzzled. In the past, when the emperor knew that he was going to have a child, he would reward the pregnant concubine first.

Why is it that this time, the emperor looks shocked?

After taking the pulse carefully, the imperial physician bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is indeed pregnant, and it has been more than a month."

The emperor was stunned for a while, then waved to the imperial physician, "Very good, very good, Su Peisheng, reward!"

The imperial physician, who received the reward, thanked the emperor profusely and left.

Looking at the emperor's shocked and suspicious expression, Concubine Hua found it funny.

In his previous life, he killed his own son with his own hands. Will he do the same in this life?

Concubine Hua wants to take a gamble, for Nian Gengyao and for the Nian family.

She stood up, walked in front of the emperor, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

The emperor had not yet recovered from the fact that Concubine Hua was pregnant. When he saw Concubine Hua kneeling down, he was surprised and asked, "Concubine Hua, why are you doing this?"

Concubine Hua knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor.

"I beg Your Majesty to strip me of my title and poison the baby in my belly to death!"

"Are you crazy?!"

The emperor thought that Concubine Hua would be overjoyed, but unexpectedly, she made such a request.

"Your Majesty, I am not crazy. My brother is proud of his achievements and does not appreciate your kindness. Once I give birth to a prince with Nian's blood, he will be arrogant and even rebel! Rather than watching my brother perish, it is better for Your Majesty to deal with us mother and son now!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily on the ground.

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua's tangled black hair, with a few strands scattered on the ground, and closed his eyes.

The moment the Emperor learned that Concubine Hua was pregnant, the first thing he thought about was how to abort the baby in Concubine Hua's belly.

However, thinking of Concubine Hua's infatuation with him over the years, the emperor softened his heart again.

At this moment, the emperor felt a pain in his throat when he saw Concubine Hua kneeling on the ground, apologizing for Nian Gengyao, and even asking him to kill the baby in her belly with poison for the sake of the stability of his own kingdom.

He helped Hua Fei up and let her sit on the chair.

"Whatever mistakes your brother made, they were his own doing and have nothing to do with you."

As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Hua's belly and said softly, "We have already lost one child, and I don't want to lose a second one."

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Hua looked at him in disbelief.

Why did the man change his mind?

Is it just a casual act?

Concubine Hua stared into the emperor's eyes and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have lost one child, and I can afford to lose a second one. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I am willing to do so!"

After hearing what Concubine Hua said, the emperor's heart felt like it was being crushed into a ball by a huge hand.

He looked at Hua Fei with red eyes, stepped forward, helped her up, and held her tightly in his arms.

"I am the Son of Heaven. Don't I have the ability to protect my son and my woman?"

Hua Fei leaned in the emperor's arms, and the sadness in her phoenix eyes gradually faded, replaced by indifference like a thousand-year-old ice.

----

"Is Concubine Hua pregnant with the Emperor's child?"

The Queen Mother was so shocked that she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhuxi was quick-witted and grabbed the teacup in time.

Seeing the Empress Dowager so surprised, the Emperor was not surprised. This was all within his expectations.

"Why are you so flustered, Empress Dowager? You should be happy that you have another grandson."

"Whether I am happy or not depends entirely on the emperor's words."

The empress dowager looked at the emperor meaningfully, and after a long while, she turned her gaze to the Buddhist beads on the table.

She sighed, picked up the Buddhist beads again, rolled them up, and chanted "Amitabha".

The emperor sat silently in the chair, his thoughts drifting back to many years ago.

At that time, Concubine Hua was also pregnant. The Empress Dowager had not yet recovered from the joy of having a grandson, so the Emperor told her his plan.

"Nian Gengyao commands a large army and is also the flag of the Han army. Concubine Hua's pregnancy is a happy event for me and for Nian Gengyao as well."

"Your Majesty is worried that Nian Gengyao will become the second Wang Mang?"

"That's right, that's why Concubine Hua's child cannot be kept."

"Your Majesty... Hey, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Afterwards, the Queen Mother found the docile, obedient and peaceful Concubine Duan and gave her the abortion drug.

Although Concubine Hua was domineering in the harem, she was courteous to Concubine Duan.

It was because of Concubine Duan's non-competitive nature that she never competed for favor.

That's why Concubine Hua in her previous life drank the so-called "pregnancy-preserving medicine" sent by Concubine Duan without any precautions.

After Concubine Hua had a miscarriage, the Empress Dowager heard that it was a fully grown male fetus. She was deeply saddened and ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures for half a year.

The emperor was still worried, so he gave Concubine Hua Huan Yi Xiang to make it difficult for her to get pregnant again.

Some time ago, the Emperor came to tell the Empress Dowager that Concubine Hua had stopped using Huan Yi Xiang.

The Queen Mother was a little worried, but she thought the same thing as the Emperor, that Concubine Hua had inhaled enough musk over the years and it should be impossible for her to get pregnant again.

Now, Concubine Hua is pregnant again.

The Queen Mother was truly shocked, but she was even more worried about how the Emperor would deal with Concubine Hua and the baby in her belly.

"I have decided to protect Concubine Hua and her son."

The Queen Mother paused as she turned the Buddhist beads.

"Emperor, have you thought it through? Nian Gengyao is now the King of Northwest China."

This sentence irritated the emperor.

His face darkened and his eyes were as cold as a knife.

"Nian Gengyao was conferred the title of First-Class Duke by me, and so was the King of the Northwest. If I say he is, then he is. If I say he is not, then he is nothing!"

"Since Your Majesty is confident, I won't say anything more."

The Queen Mother knew that she had no influence on the Emperor's decision, and it was inconvenient for her to say anything more.

"In that case, I have decided. As for Concubine Hua, please take care of her."

"I will keep an eye on it."

In less than a day, the news that Concubine Hua was pregnant spread throughout the harem.

The Queen couldn't hold the brush steadily while practicing calligraphy.

Finally, he sat down on the chair dejectedly and threw the brush out.

"how is this possible?"

The queen placed her hands on both sides of her forehead and rubbed them vigorously.

Jianqiu saw that the queen looked very bad and spoke cautiously.

"The news from the Imperial Hospital is true."

The queen closed her eyes and sneered.

"Zhen Huan's child just left, and Hua Fei's child is here. But what about my child? Hong Hui's body has turned into ashes. Does the emperor still remember?"

Jianqiu felt very uncomfortable when she saw the Queen's grief-stricken expression.

"Your Majesty, it took Concubine Hua so many years to get pregnant. She may not be able to keep the child."

The queen raised her head, and her originally sad eyes suddenly showed hope.

"Yes, it took Concubine Hua so long to get pregnant, her body must be very weak."
