Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

Yun Yuan did not admit that she was pregnant.

"Oh, you mean your stomach? The food in the palace is good, and the Queen Mother is kind. She doesn't need to serve you every morning and evening. If life is good, won't you gain weight?"

Yun Yuan was thin, and her five-month-old belly was not very big. She wore loose clothes, so she looked a little fatter than usual. Zhong Jianmin was skeptical.

But soon he no longer had any doubts. The emperor was inhumane, and the child Yun Yuan was pregnant with was definitely not his, unless she was willing to die.

Ge grabbed the railing with a ferocious look on her face: "Yun, please beg the emperor to let us out."

Yun Yuan's eyes were sharp. "How dare you! The country has its own laws. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. How can I take back your order with just a few words? Or do you think Your Majesty is a tyrant?"

The jailer shouted, "How dare you slander the emperor? I'll flog you thirty times, and you won't have any food for the whole day."

The prison door opened and Ge was pulled out. Soon, the sound of a whip hitting flesh and Ge's miserable cries could be heard.

Wu Yishu lay on the straw bed and smiled silently, "Old hag, you have come to this day, too."

Yun Yuan's eyes fell on Zhong Jianmin's face. "You are a military commander, you know the power of whipping. You knew your mother was too old to withstand thirty whippings, why didn't you take the punishment for her?"

"If her death can make you feel better, then her death is a good thing. I only ask that you adopt my daughter Xue Ning for the sake of our past friendship."

Yun Yuan suspected that she had heard wrongly: "You want me to adopt your daughter?"

"Yes." Zhong Jianmin said, "It was my mother who let you down before, but she is dying now, and you are also the queen. I know you have a kind heart. Xue Ning is so young and fragile, she needs care and protection, you will definitely not let her be sad, right?"

He had a good idea. Yun Yuan would not have children after marrying the emperor. As long as she adopted Xue Ning, the child she had raised since childhood would be close to her. In the future, she would become a county princess, or even a princess.

He has no hope in this life, and his daughter is his only hope. With Yun Yuan's current status, if he lets his daughter marry the son of King Chu, the day when she becomes the mother of the country will be the day for him to turn things around.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. When he thought about becoming the father-in-law of the emperor in the future, he felt a little elated, and even looked at Yun Yuan with a condescending look.

She is just a concubine in the deep palace, and she will have to rely on her daughter in the future. No, he must find a way to help his daughter get rid of this vampire.

"You need to find the best wet nurse. One is not enough, you need three. Ask the best teacher to teach Xue Ning the art of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. Find a good family for her to marry. If you don't do a good job, I will not let you go."

Yun Yuan smiled and said, "How are you going to stop me from letting you go?"

"I..." Zhong Jianmin was at a loss for words. He was just a prisoner and the other party was the high and mighty empress. There was nothing he could do.

At this time, Wu Yishu spoke up, and her weak body did not prevent her from being arrogant.

She said in a threatening tone: "Xue Ning is my daughter. After all, you are not her biological mother. If you don't do your job well, she will not take care of you in your old age."

Zhong Jianmin said as a matter of course: "Yes, that's it."

The jailers who were watching nearby, and even Brother Zhong, were stunned.

No, shouldn't you be a man who behaves like a human being now? Why are you threatening the queen?

Yun Yuan ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"Why do you think I would adopt a child who is not related to me by blood, and the daughter of my enemy?"

"Enemy?" Zhong Jianmin frowned. "You are living a good life now, why do you still hold on to the past? If I hadn't brought you to the capital, you could only marry a merchant in Gusu. How could you have such good fortune now? You should be grateful to me."

"Thank you for letting your family torture me, thank you for kicking me out on a snowy day, thank you for sending someone to kill me and take my dowry, right?"

Zhong Jianmin was speechless. These were indeed the things he had done.

"Speaking of gratitude, you are the one who should be grateful to me the most. If I hadn't been so blind as to fancy you, why would our Yun family spend so much money to train you, hire a martial arts master, and send you to school? In the end, your Zhong family thinks it's their due, and we are working hard but getting no thanks. We are even scolded by you as lowly merchants trying to climb up the social ladder."

"What do you think I'm here for?" Yun Yuan sneered, "I'm here to laugh at you. Look how miserable and pitiful you are now. I can take your daughter away, but I'll sell her off right after. Just consider it as compensation to me. You'll never see her again in your life."

Zhong Jianmin was really furious: "How dare you!"

"Do you think I dare?" Yun Yuan: "I am not someone you can manipulate at will. I am the imperial concubine appointed by His Majesty himself. You are dissatisfied with me for not greeting me when you see me?"

Zhong Jianmin had a bad feeling.

Yun Yuan glanced over, and the jailer knew it was his turn to take action. He shouted, "Come here, Zhong Jianmin was disrespectful to Empress Yuanfei and angered her. Take him away and give him fifty lashes."

Soon someone opened the door and pulled him out.

Yun Yuan was ready to return to the palace, and Xinghua supported her carefully.

Zhong Jianmin struggled angrily behind him: "Yun Yuan, just wait and see, the more glorious you are now, the more miserable you will be in the future. I'm waiting to hear your joke in the northwest."

"Add another twenty lashes of cane." Yun Yuan ordered.

"Yes!" The jailers rubbed their hands, eager to give it a try.

Under Zhong Jianmin's murderous gaze, Yun Yuan casually threw out a purse.

"Serve them well, and there will be rewards for good work."

The jailer excitedly put the purse into his pocket and said flatteringly, "Don't worry, Madam, I guarantee that he won't have a single piece of good skin."

Zhong Jianmin was furious and helpless: "I'm going to sue you for lynching!"

Wu Yishu finally recognized the reality: "Please spare me, Empress Yuanfei. I don't know what happened before. I didn't do anything."

"Aren't you quite proud of yourself?" Yun Yuan dropped a bomb: "I was sitting next to you when you discussed killing me with Zhong Jianmin. Not only me, but even the emperor heard it."

"You...you guys..." Zhong Jianmin felt like someone was wearing a hat and his head was covered in green.

"Don't you think highly of me? It just so happens that I also think highly of you." Yun Yuan smiled maliciously and ordered the jailer, "Take off his pants before beating him. Don't let him off."

After leaving a few words, Yun Yuan left without looking back.

Zhong Jianmin's face turned pale and he took off his pants... Could he still keep his secret?
