After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

In the Luanfeng Palace, Lianwu also ran in hurriedly, holding the same paper in her hand.

"My lady, this is bad. Look at this."

Shen Yihuan reached out to take it, spread it out and took a look. He was immediately shocked by the contents.

She and Zhao Xun were half-sisters, this rumor was a little too funny. But one thing was true, she was indeed the daughter of Concubine Qiu.

It seems that the person who spread the rumors may not be groundless, but she is obviously not the old emperor's daughter, so why did she say that?

What is the purpose behind this?

"This person who spreads rumors is really hateful. He actually slanders the Empress like this." Cuicui also took one and took a look. Her little face turned red with anger.

When the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, the sound of shouting and shouting that the emperor had arrived was heard outside the hall. After a while, a piece of yellow clothes fluttered in, followed by the emperor with an angry face.

"Huan'er, you saw it too." Zhao Xun walked in and saw the rumor paper held in Shen Yihuan's hand at a glance.

He walked up quickly, took the paper out of Shen Yihuan's hand, then hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take care of everything. I will never let anyone hurt you."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It seems that someone can't bear to see me being the queen and is deliberately making things difficult for me." Shen Yihuan nestled in Zhao Xun's arms, a dark gleam in her eyes.

If this matter were true, not to mention the Queen, she and Zhao Xun would become the laughing stock of the world. Her intentions were truly vicious to the extreme.

Zhao Xun naturally thought of what Shen Yihuan had thought of, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes: "I will not let that man succeed."

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me." Shen Yihuan raised her head slightly with a gentle smile on her face.

Although she was smiling at the moment, she gave people a very cold feeling, which was a sign that she was really angry.

Zhao Xun stared into her eyes for a while. After spending so many days together, he knew that his beloved wife was not as harmless as she appeared to be.

He likes the simple Huan'er, the charming Huan'er, and the cunning Huan'er.

Although he was still a little worried, he nodded out of respect for his wife.

"Investigate it, but don't tire yourself out and don't try to be stubborn. If you can't do it, come to me, okay?" Zhao Xun looked at Shen Yihuan's big belly a little worriedly. She was already seven months pregnant and would give birth in two months.

Thinking about his beloved wife who was pregnant with such a big belly and had to worry about such things, he hated the person who spread the rumor even more.

The fact that they had to choose this time to do it shows how malicious their intentions are.

Zhao Xun stayed to have a meal with Shen Yihuan, and then went back to handle government affairs.

The recent natural disasters in the country have been dealt with, and people are moving in a positive direction, praising the new emperor and spreading the word.

Apart from some small-time bandits in some remote areas, the biggest threat comes from our neighboring countries.

In recent times, the neighboring country seems to be ready to make some moves. The border guards have reported several times that there is a vague trend of gathering troops.

In this regard, Zhao Xun has been busy with this matter for some time. He summoned some veterans and talked about this matter.

Shen Yihuan was vaguely aware of these things, so she didn't want to disturb him with her own affairs.

If she, as a queen, cannot find out who is behind the rumor and punish him, then she has no business being the queen.

"Hongye Jinsong, go and find out who is spreading rumors in the palace."

Shen Yihuan wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so this time he directly used the two most capable generals around him.

Hongye and Jinsong also felt their master's urgency, nodded in agreement, and left in a hurry.

After they left, the Empress Dowager came over at this time. It was obvious that she also knew about this.

"Good girl, just take care of your baby and leave this to the Empress Dowager."

Shen Yihuan could see that the Empress Dowager really cared about her, and she said gratefully, "Grandmother, Huan'er has already sent someone to investigate, and they will soon be able to find out the truth."

"The Empress Dowager knows that you are a capable person, but you are in poor health now and it is not appropriate for you to worry about too many things."

Shen Yihuan nodded and did not continue to offend the old man. He said many words of gratitude obediently.

"Where's your mother?"

"Uh..." What could she say? The Queen Mother seemed to be still immersed in her broken heart and unable to extricate herself.

She didn't know whether the Empress Dowager knew about it or not, so she naturally couldn't speak any gossip about the Empress Dowager. So she hesitated for a long time with a strange expression, not knowing how to answer.

"Ah, you are such an unreasonable mother."

Obviously, the Grand Empress Dowager knew about the Queen Mother's affairs. Come to think of it, it was such a big fuss some time ago, and everyone in the court knew about it.

"Let's not talk about her." Everyone has their own fate. She is not the biological mother of the late emperor, so naturally she would not be close to this daughter-in-law.

The naive and innocent Queen Mother was not to her liking. But with Shen Yihuan, strangely enough, they hit it off right away.

She was able to sit in this position partly because of her legitimate identity, and the other part, of course, was because of some good means.

"Your belly is really big. You will give birth in two months."

"Yes, it's already seven months now, but it looks bigger than a full-term belly. I wonder how big it will be when it's full-term." Shen Yihuan stared at her overly large belly with a hint of worry in her eyes.

It is said that giving birth is a major challenge in a woman's life. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like having one foot in a coffin.

It's already like this for others giving birth to one child, and it's even more dangerous for her since she's pregnant with two.

At this moment, the excitement she had when she found out she was pregnant with two babies had slowly disappeared, and was replaced by the fear of the unknown of childbirth.

Doctor Li came to check her pulse every day as usual. Every time, she would ask about her current health and whether she could give birth safely on the day of delivery. She told him all the concerns in her heart.

In fact, apart from herself, the only person who was nervous was Doctor Li, who was even more nervous than her.

Considering how much the emperor valued the empress, if anything went wrong on the day of delivery, losing his life would be the least of his worries. The biggest concern was that his entire clan would be implicated and his entire family would be implicated.

"Since you are pregnant with twins, generally speaking, your period will start ten days earlier than other women, so we need to prepare in advance."

"Then, let's start preparing a month in advance. I have been feeling uneasy all the time." Shen Yihuan touched her belly, feeling like it was about to explode.

Doctor Li naturally had no objection. It is always better to be cautious.
