Su Fengyi gave Concubine Hui a soothing look, then said with a smile:

"Look at what good news I heard as soon as I entered the palace!

I was wondering why my mother came to me in a dream last night. It turned out to be such great news."

The emperor was so happy that he almost jumped up:

"Is that right? Is that right? It seems that this child was sent to me by my mother, hehe, hehe."

The emperor was really happy, he was almost going crazy!

I am finally going to be a father!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It's been three years, three years. Ever since the emperor first experienced sex three years ago, he has been with so many women, not to mention having a son or a daughter, there is not even a single good news.

Although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually very worried inside, wondering if his health was not good enough and that was why he couldn't have children.

Every time during festivals and holidays when offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, the emperor felt ashamed to face his ancestors when he looked at the solemn tablets and saw nothing behind him.

Every time he woke up from being with another concubine and touched her flat belly, he felt a sense of longing. This time, there should be good news.

But no, not even once!

The emperor once felt desperate and even avoided favoring the concubines in the harem, thinking that as long as he did not set foot in the harem, no one would be able to discover his incompetence in this matter.

Last night, after the Emperor had favored Concubine Wang, he woke up in the middle of the night and touched Concubine Wang's belly. The Emperor was feeling depressed because he felt something strange about the touch.

Lady Wang’s slender waist should be able to be held in one hand, but this time, when I touched it, it seemed a little bulging?

The emperor became suspicious and woke up Concubine Wang:

"Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

When Concubine Wang heard the emperor ask this and looked at the emperor's hands lingering on her waist, she knew that the matter might be exposed.

She lowered her head and said shyly:

"I have been a little greedy for food recently, so I have gained some weight."

When Concubine Wang said this, the emperor's originally fiery heart suddenly cooled down, and he turned over and lay down angrily.

Concubine Wang hugged herself, curled up on her side, and could no longer fall asleep.

When Concubine Xuan died in the cold palace, on the seventh day after her death, Concubine Wang secretly went there and burned a stack of paper money for her.

So that she wouldn't have to go to reincarnation empty-handed, without money to prepare, and be arranged by the ghost to be a suffering rebirth.

The room where Concubine Xuan lived in the cold palace had been cleaned up long ago, so even if one looked inside, nothing could be seen. However, Concubine Wang still couldn't help but take a sneak peek.

Lady Wang has never forgotten this look until now.

The table in Xuan Meiren's room and the table legs that were gnawed to pieces kept appearing in front of her eyes.

She really couldn't imagine how desperate Concubine Xuan must have felt when she was starving to death, curled up on the ground, hugging the dragon fetus in her belly, and gnawing on the table legs to satisfy her hunger.

The emperor woke up this morning and had already returned to the Qianqing Palace. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he returned to the Zhenxia Pavilion and summoned the imperial physician to take Concubine Wang's pulse.

After this diagnosis, Concubine Wang was transformed into Concubine Hui.

Su Fengyi came closer, stared at Concubine Hui's belly, and asked with a smile:

"I've been congratulating Concubine Hui. How many months has it been?"

When asked this, the Emperor became excited before Concubine Hui could say anything:

"It's been four months!"

After saying this, the emperor looked at Concubine Hui with a complaining look:

"Tell me, how can there be such a careless mother who didn't even know she was pregnant.

And he insisted that he was fat, what a lie!

If I hadn't discovered it first, I don't know how long it would have been delayed!"

Concubine Hui lowered her head:

"It was my negligence, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Su Fengyi smiled and tried to smooth things over:

"When mother was pregnant with us, the imperial physician was careless and did not detect that there were two of us.

When my mother gave birth to me, she gave birth to me first and then fell asleep. If the midwife hadn't been experienced, who knows what would have happened.

Later, my mother often said that it was her first time being a mother, and if there were any mistakes, she should bear with us.

There is no mother who doesn't love her own children. Concubine Hui must have blamed herself a lot, Your Majesty, please don't blame her."

Hearing his sister's words, and thinking of Empress Xie, the emperor's expression eased a little, and he touched Concubine Hui's belly and said:

"This is your first pregnancy, so don't be afraid even if you don't understand. If you don't understand, just ask the nanny and the imperial physician."

Then he asked Qiao Gui who was standing beside him:

"Have you arranged for the nanny and the imperial physician?"

Qiao Gui was smiling at the side as if his wife was about to give birth, and said with a joyful face:

"It's all right, it's all right. One imperial physician and four maids, all experienced veterans, are dedicated to taking care of Concubine Hui. There must be nothing wrong with them."

When Qiao Gui mentioned the experienced veteran, Su Fengyi felt that Concubine Hui seemed to shiver and suddenly shook.

Su Fengyi looked at Xue Yu, who was standing behind Qiao Gui and seemed to be hiding in a corner. Xue Yu nodded slightly at her when no one was paying attention.

Su Fengyi walked to Concubine Hui, took her hand and patted it, saying:

"Eunuch Qiao is the most capable person in handling affairs, so you can rest assured."

Hearing the eldest princess say this, Concubine Hui felt that her heart, which had been hanging in the air all morning, had finally been settled.

It seemed that at this moment, in this dark and dangerous palace, there was finally a way out, a ray of hope.

Concubine Hui stroked her belly with one hand, held the eldest princess's hand with the other, and replied to the emperor meekly:

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely listen to the nanny and the imperial physician and will never act on my own."

The emperor was naturally happy that the concubine was docile and obedient. He patted Concubine Hui with a smile:

"You take a rest first, I will come to see you later and have dinner with you.

I will first burn incense to Taizu, the late emperor, and my mother, and ask them to bless our child."

The Emperor said to Su Fengyi:

"Imperial sister, please come with me. Since mother has sent you a dream, you should also tell her about it. If she knows about it in the afterlife, she will feel at ease."

While burning incense, Su Fengyi looked at the portrait behind Empress Xie's tablet. The face looked exactly like her modern mother. She felt a sour feeling in her heart and couldn't help but shed tears.

Mother, is that you? You woke me up, didn't you?

It was you who called me back from my dream, wasn't it?

Mother, don't worry. Since you woke me up, I will never let you down and will live a good life.

Su Fengyi began to chatter and fulfill her vow to Empress Xie:

"Mother, I'm fine, the emperor is fine, and the Xie family is fine, too. Mother, you can rest assured."

The emperor listened at the side, his ears perked up:

"Xie family? Mother is thinking about the Xie family?"

Su Fengyi wiped her tears and hummed:

"Mother, back then, I was always worried that no one in the Xie family could support the family and that they would not be able to help the emperor and become a burden to him.

Before she died, my mother was thinking about the Xie family. Last night, she came to me in a dream and asked me specifically, "How are the sons of the Xie family doing now? Are they promising? Are they doing their job well for the emperor and being loyal to him?"
