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

Chapter 19: The Deposed Minister's Wife and the Inhuman Emperor 18

Seeing that Zhong Jianmin didn't move, the jailer kicked him in the knee. Zhong Jianmin fell to the ground with a spit. He glared at the culprit viciously, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake in the dark.

The man was startled, and then became angry and embarrassed.

"I'll let you be arrogant, I'll let you be arrogant!" He shouted and kicked: "Who are you trying to scare? Do you really think you are still General Zhenwei?"

Zhong Jianmin curled up on the ground with his head in his hands. Thinking of Yun Yuan's disdainful and arrogance when she left, he felt unfair.

How can Yun Yuan, a lowly merchant girl, live well after being abandoned by him? Just wait and see...

The huge resentment in his heart made him not notice that he was being dragged away until he felt a chill in his lower body.

"Fuck, this guy is actually a eunuch!"

"Oh my god, it really is a eunuch. I have never seen a eunuch like him before."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so ugly, is this still a man?"

"Haha, of course not, beat him to death!"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the famous General Zhenwei is actually childless. Could your daughter be someone else's child?"

Zhong Jianmin was numb from hearing all the dirty words, and he just let the board fall on his butt, once, twice, a total of seventy times.

Zhong Jianmin had fainted long ago and heard someone talking in a daze.

"Go outside and find a doctor. No, find a few more. Don't let him die. By the way, spread the matter about eunuch Zhong Jianmin." Bah, you are so arrogant, I will make you lose face in front of people.

Zhong Jianmin felt disheartened.

After the beating, the jailer didn't even let him put on pants, but dragged him through other cells for the other prisoners to see.

Ge was lying in the cell, breathing in more than out. When she saw Zhong Jianmin's miserable condition, she became unable to breathe and died.

Zhong Jianmin's condition wasn't much better, but he was in good physical condition and the doctor came quickly and pulled him back from the underworld. He received all the punishment he deserved.

In a trance, he thought of the spring rain and apricot blossoms that year. The gentle girl was standing by the railing, the breeze blew the corners of her slightly wet clothes, her hair flew in the wind, and apricot blossoms were falling in the air.

If I had stayed with her all my life, would I have avoided this disaster?

He thought again about the innocent mountain people who died under his knife. If he had not been greedy for power and had been content to be a minor official, would he have avoided such an end?

He regretted it, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye and fell into the dirty mud silently.

Brother Zhong was at a loss, while Wu Yishu dragged her premature body to take care of Zhong Jianmin. She was unwilling to believe that Zhong Jianmin had become a eunuch. She was devastated and the original glow in her eyes was gone.

She often stared at Zhong Jianmin in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

The misfortune did not affect married women. In order to distance herself from the matter, Zhong Xiaomei never went to see her mother's family. When she received the news that her mother's body had to be collected, her legs went weak and she fell down the stairs.

In the end, it was Si Gou who collected Ge's body, and Zhong Xiaomei didn't even get to see her for the last time.

When Yun Yuan came out of the cell, the emperor was already waiting for her.

He helped Yun Yuan into the carriage and took her for a stroll in the bustling Kyoto.

The golden crow sets in the west, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the lights in Chang'an City are bright. Wherever you look, there are fireworks. The ten streets and nine alleys are full of people.

Yun Yuan's eyes reflected the firelight, "What day is it today? Why is it so lively?"

The emperor held her hand and rubbed his fingers together unconsciously. Seeing that she was happy, he was also very happy.

"It's not a special holiday." He said, "Now the world is peaceful, border trade is booming, and all industries are thriving. There is no curfew in the capital, and it's like this every day."

The emperor gestured to Yun Yuan to look at a man with brown curly hair. He had big, deep eyes, light-colored pupils, a high nose bridge, and a dark skin color. His attire was completely different from that of the people of the Daxu Dynasty and was full of exotic features.

"These are Persians. They exchange gems, agates, corals and spices from other countries for our silk, paper, porcelain and rhubarb. They even set up a Persian shop for this purpose, which is very popular among the nobles."

Seeing that Yun Yuan was interested, the emperor took her to the Persian shop. When she came out, Yun Yuan had an agate silk bracelet on her wrist.

The weather was getting hotter, so ice basins were used in Yunyuan Palace, which was still relatively cool.

Another day, the emperor held an early court.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a crown prince. I suggest that the youngest son of the King of Chu be made the heir."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

Half of the court officials knelt down, and the emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously. He was going to replace all these people during the imperial examination next year.

The King of Chu was pleased: "Your Majesty, although my son Ji is young, he has a photographic memory and is often praised by the Master. The abbot of the Huguo Temple also said that he will achieve great things in the future."

The emperor had a blank expression on his face. "What a coincidence. Today I have something to share with you, my dear ministers. Concubine Yuan is more than four months pregnant. Please don't worry about the crown prince."

This information was like a bomb, making some people happy and some people worried.

"Impossible, how is this possible?" The King of Chu muttered in dismay.

The Minister of Personnel was the first to congratulate: "God bless your majesty."

"God bless your majesty."

Amidst the chorus of congratulations, the man who proposed that the youngest son of the King of Chu be the heir looked as pale as death.

On August 14, the Purple Star descends.

Knowing that she was about to give birth, Yun Yuan deliberately let herself slip to create the illusion of premature birth.

The emperor was holding a morning court session when he left all the civil and military officials behind and ran to the harem in a panic. According to the records of historians at the time, one of his shoes was lost.

The midwife was already prepared, but the emperor was still worried and stood guard at the door without leaving for a moment, feeling both anxious and expectant. He was so scared when he saw the blood being brought out that his heart almost stopped, and he asked from time to time how Concubine Yuan was doing.

After so many questions, the midwife was annoyed by her.

Yun Yuan couldn't stand him: "Shut up!"

"Oh." The emperor felt aggrieved and still walked around the door.

The empress dowager came in a hurry from the Cining Palace. She was no less anxious than the emperor. Having given birth to two children, she knew better than the emperor that giving birth for a woman is like going through the gates of hell. The heart-wrenching pain is not something that ordinary people can endure.

She clasped her hands together and prayed to God, hoping that Yun Yuan and the baby in her belly would be safe.

The two men waited from morning to evening, and then they heard a baby crying. The emperor didn't want to wait any longer and rushed in.
