It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

The Queen Mother had not arrived yet, but she had sent many valuable gifts.

There are many kinds of supplements, cloths, treasures, etc., all of which are fine products.

Emperor Xiao Ping secretly instructed An Xun that in the future, the things sent by the empress dowager should not be given to Su Wanti first. She should first take the empress dowager's rewards to his private vault, select the same or similar items, secretly replace them, and then give them to Su Wanti.

Su Wanti saw the subtle relationship between Emperor Xiao Ping and the Queen Mother, and she became wary of her. She refused to accept any of the Queen Mother's rewards and directly had An Xun send them to her private vault.

In this matter, neither of them knew the other's actions, only An Xun knew everything.

At first, she wanted to tell the emperor about this, after all, she was sent by the emperor to protect Empress Zhen.

But she thought about it.

Although she used to be a servant of the emperor, Concubine Zhen is her master now.

Considering how much the emperor loves Concubine Zhen, and the fact that she is already pregnant with the emperor's heir, I think Concubine Zhen will be favored for a long time.

If she knew in the future that I had reported every detail of my affairs to the emperor, she would definitely think that I had two hearts...

It's better to say nothing.

Anxun made up her mind and decided to listen to both sides but say nothing.

After that, whenever she received a reward from the empress dowager, she would quietly take the reward to the emperor's private storehouse to exchange the item.

Then he took the exchanged items back to Yaoguang Palace and threw them into Concubine Zhen's private vault, leaving them quietly gathering dust in the corner of the vault.

The news of Su Wanti's pregnancy did not cause much stir in the palace, but it had a significant impact on the previous dynasty.

The ministers who were loyal to the country were extremely excited. They congratulated the emperor and wished him to give birth to a baby boy as soon as possible.

However, Xiao Huaihe, Prince Qi, Prince Jing and Young Marquis Yan, the popular candidates to be adopted as the crown prince, were stunned, and the ministers standing in their respective camps were also embarrassed.

If the emperor had a child, what would they do?

Several people looked at each other in the court, but no one spoke. They just joined other ministers in congratulating the emperor.

Xiao Huaihe returned to the Marquis' Mansion and hurried to find his father to discuss the matter, but he could not find his father anywhere in the mansion.

"Mom, where is Dad? I need to discuss something with him." Xiao Huaihe asked his mother.

Madam Hou said angrily, "Humph! Your father is dead outside!"

"Why do you say that, mother?" In Xiao Huaihe's impression, his parents have always been very loving, and he doesn't know why his mother cursed his father like that.

Madam Hou looked at her handsome son and tears started to flow down her cheeks. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said:

"Son, mother has never told you that the Marquis has set up a yard outside and kept several concubines. He indulges in promiscuity during the day and revels every night. He said that he wants to have a few sons to continue his bloodline..."

The Marquis's wife shed tears silently, lowered her head and hunched her shoulders as she cried, while Xiao Huaihe felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was completely stunned.

After he realized what was happening, he bit the soft flesh in his mouth hard, spitting out a salty and fishy taste of blood.

He was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, "Where is his outer courtyard? I want to find him!"

Seeing his horrifying expression, the marquis's wife was afraid that he would do something stupid in his impulse, so she stopped him from leaving. While they were arguing, a servant delivered a letter.

"Young Marquis, this is a letter from outside, saying it is a matter of great importance and needs to be opened by you personally."

Xiao Huaihe then stopped. He opened the letter with an angry look on his face. Gradually, the anger disappeared. He raised his eyes, which were gloomy with a dark light flashing.

The letter was signed by the Prince of Qi, and the handwriting was also the Prince of Qi's.

The letter asked him to meet and discuss what to do next.

Without saying it explicitly, Xiao Huaihe knew that this was to discuss the matter of the royal successor.

He calmed himself down, returned to his study, burned the letter, and looking at the burning orange flames, his desire to become the heir to the throne became stronger.

In addition to wanting to obtain supreme imperial power, he also wanted to take revenge on Su Wanti and his father who abandoned him.

He wanted to make those two people prostrate themselves at his feet and beg for mercy, a fate worse than death.

There was a secret location written on the letter, and Xiao Huaihe arrived as promised.

As soon as he came in, he saw three people already waiting at the table in the secret room.

They are Prince Qi, Prince Jing and Young Marquis Yan.

The four of them greeted each other and sat down to drink tea.

Everyone knew what was going to be discussed today, and no one was willing to speak first at first, so Prince Qi asked someone to bring over a few jugs of wine.

After a few drinks, the four of them relaxed and started chatting.

"Didn't they say that the emperor couldn't have children?"

"The emperor has been childless for ten years, but that doesn't mean he can't have children. I heard that he didn't enter the harem before. He only entered the harem after Concubine Zhen entered the palace, but he only stayed at Concubine Zhen's place."

Having said that, the three of them looked at Xiao Huaihe.

Xiao Huaihe's face turned red and purple, and he slammed the wine glass on the table. "Su Wanti, that little bitch, climbed onto the dragon bed and made me a laughing stock in the world! I must kill this little bitch in the future!"

Some people were surprised and asked, "She got close to the emperor herself, not you who gave it to the emperor?"

Xiao Huaihe's face turned cold, "Why would I do such a ridiculous thing? What good will it do me?"

The three of them lowered their heads in embarrassment and said nothing. On the one hand, they were ashamed of their previous wrong speculation, and on the other hand, they thought of Su Wanti's charming face and exquisite curves, and felt jealous and hot-hearted.

One of them, relying on the alcohol, said carelessly: "Brother Xiao, don't kill her directly. It's a pity to waste such a beautiful woman. Lend it to me first and I will return it to you when I have enough fun."

The other two looked at Xiao Huaihe with drunken eyes, and when they saw that he readily agreed, they said:

"We can't let him have this beauty all to himself. We have to lend it to us to play with."

Xiao Huaihe was a little tipsy and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

As they drank and chatted, the four of them decided to wait for some time to see whether Su Wanti was carrying a boy or a girl.

If it is a princess, then everyone will incite the court officials and force the emperor to adopt a child as soon as possible. It can be any of the four of them, and the other three will not have any objection.

If it was a prince, don't blame them for being rude.

How could they easily let go of their aroused ambitions? They had once been just one step away from the throne, and had spent so much time preparing to become the heir to the throne. It was impossible for them to pretend that nothing had happened.

At that time, they will rise up in rebellion from four places at the same time, declare themselves kings, and divide the Dongli Kingdom into four parts.

The night is cool, the heart is hot, and the wine is half drunk.

At a drinking table with several people, an immature plan of rebellion took shape.

Little did those ambitious young people know that in this capital city the wind has ears and the walls have ears, and no secrets can be hidden.

----

As Su Wanti's pregnancy progressed, her belly grew bigger, the fetal movements became more obvious, and her movements became slower and slower.

She felt that she often felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and her physical strength was not very good.

She took a pill to increase her strength, and after taking it, she felt much better.

"Being pregnant is really hard." She thought to herself, "92, how many points do you get for giving birth to a child?"

If you only give a few hundred or a few thousand points, it would not be worth it.

[Host, you will get points for giving birth to one child, points for giving birth to twins, points for giving birth to triplets, points for giving birth to quadruplets...]

"Okay, okay, I got it." She wouldn't give birth to three or four children at once, that would be too scary.

Even with pain-relieving pills, stamina-boosting pills, body recovery pills and the like, she still had to go through the sin of pregnancy and childbirth. The damage to the mother's body caused by multiple births is several times greater than that caused by a single birth.

"Why are you sighing, Wan'er? Is the child naughty again?" Emperor Xiao Ping came over, took her hand, and said gently.
