Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System
Chapter 174: The Upright Emperor vs. the Widow (20)
Ji Rui, who was standing by, secretly used his sleeve to gently wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
That’s great! Your Majesty will finally have an heir to inherit the family business.
God finally has eyes!
Ji Rui couldn't hide his excitement. He stepped forward lightly, his voice full of uncontrollable joy.
"Your Majesty, this is a great happy event. Should we report it to the Queen Mother immediately so that she can be happy as well?"
Murong Di Ze restrained his smile, thought carefully, and then slowly shook his head.
"Ji Rui, this matter is of great importance, and we must act with caution. Bao Er is far away in Jiangnan right now, and I want to personally pick her up and bring her back to the palace. I will inform my mother after I have properly arranged everything."
After saying this, Murong Dize could no longer suppress his anxiety and gave instructions to Ji Rui.
"Send the military minister to the palace immediately. I have decided to make a private visit in disguise. Everything should be kept simple and no one should be informed."
"Hey, I'll arrange it right away."
After leaving the palace, Ji Rui was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
He hopped on his old legs to convey the imperial edict, his heart full of anticipation for the little prince.
Several military ministers hurried over, and after hearing that the emperor was planning to make another private visit, the ministers looked at each other and exchanged surprised glances in private.
"Your Majesty, you have been on many incognito visits in recent years, and the court is busy with affairs. This move may be inappropriate."
Prime Minister Li, warned carefully.
Murong Di Ze's tone was resolute and left no room for doubt.
"I have made up my mind. I will leave the affairs of the court to you, my dear ministers, for the time being. I have important matters to deal with personally when I leave."
Although the ministers had their doubts, seeing the emperor's firm attitude, they had to obey the order and leave. However, they were secretly muttering and talking in their hearts.
"Your Majesty has been making frequent incognito visits recently. Could it be that there is something or someone outside the palace that your Majesty is worried about?"
Lord Zhao lowered his voice and put forward his own guess.
"Yes, the court affairs are heavy, and there is no adopted heir yet. Now there is no heir to the throne, but His Majesty is often away from home, which is really worrying."
Lord Zhang echoed, his brows furrowed.
"Alas, no matter why Your Majesty is like this, as your subjects, we can only assist you wholeheartedly and look forward to Your Majesty's early return to discuss state affairs together."
Lord Li sighed and spoke earnestly.
The ministers nodded one after another and could only silently hope that the emperor would get back on track as soon as possible.
Inside the Yongfu Palace, Queen Zhou Jinyu sat in a small Buddhist hall.
She was dressed in plain clothes, with a dignified face, and seemed to be immersed in the pious chanting of scriptures.
However, her mind was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Recently, the emperor's unusual behavior has attracted her attention, and an inexplicable uneasiness has quietly grown in her heart.
"Madam Zhang, have you noticed the changes in the emperor?"
The queen suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the Buddhist hall.
Her voice was gentle, but her eyes were as deep as a pool.
Nanny Zhang stepped forward quickly, with a humble and respectful attitude.
"Your Highness, I have been keeping an eye on the Emperor's behavior. As you said, the Emperor seems to have a stronger interest in the outside world recently, and has been making many private visits in disguise."
"He even made some puzzling decisions, such as the sudden ban on dental clinics, which was very different from the emperor's previous style."
The Queen smiled, but that smile did not reach her eyes, instead she revealed a hint of worry.
"Yes, I am deeply uneasy. The emperor has changed so much, I am afraid that the situation will change. You should immediately arrange for reliable people to secretly investigate the real purpose of the emperor's incognito visit."
Nanny Zhang accepted the order and was about to leave when the Queen called her back.
"Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and not a single word of it should leak out. The Emperor has promised the Empress Dowager and the court officials that he will adopt a son in my name when he turns 40, and he will inherit the throne as the legitimate son of the Empress. Wait another two years, and the Zhou family will enjoy all the blessings of the family and prosper for generations."
Having said this, the queen's eyes became unusually firm.
"In the next two years, there can be no mistakes. Any person or thing that may pose a threat must be nipped in the bud! Do you understand?"
Nanny Zhang was startled and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"I understand, Madam, rest assured, I will do my best to ensure that the plan goes smoothly."
The queen nodded slightly, her gaze returned to the rosary in her hand, and she continued to chant.

In the south of the Yangtze River, beside the Liu Mansion, the hot spring villa is full of charming spring scenery.
Liu Qianyu lay leisurely on the chaise longue, her body swaying in the breeze, enjoying the gentleness of spring.
Her bulging belly showed her pregnancy, which made her look more lively and charming.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. Murong Di Ze was exhausted after traveling for more than half a month, and his eyes were full of anxiety and longing.
Liu Qianyu had long hair that fell to her shoulders, tied up with a light blue silk thread and a jade hairpin. She wore a skirt with a pattern of plum blossoms shrouded in mist, which revealed her bulging belly.
Murong Di Ze was so fascinated by the beautiful arc that he even forgot to blink.
He approached slowly, his eyes fixed on her bulging belly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Baoer, you are pregnant, why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Qianyu smiled softly and teased him.
"Why should I tell you? It's not like I can't afford to raise the child. Besides, I'm so beautiful and rich, shouldn't it be easy to find a father for the child?"
Although Murong Di Ze knew she was joking, he couldn't help but feel jealous and asked angrily.
"You... who have you set your eyes on now? You actually want to find another father for my child?"
Liu Qianyu blinked innocently.
"Not yet. It's all your fault. You're so handsome. I've been choosing and choosing, but I still can't find anyone who's more pleasing to the eye than you."
The anger in Murong Di Ze's heart was instantly extinguished by these words, without even a trace of flame left.
He sighed helplessly, held her gently in his arms, and coaxed her softly.
"Baoer, come back to the palace with me. I can't change the past, but I can promise you that you will be the only one for the rest of my life."
Liu Qianyu struggled slightly in his arms, pretending to consider it.
"Since you've behaved well, I'll give the father some face. But wait until the baby is born."
Murong Di Ze's heart was surging, his lips trembled slightly, and the doting kiss fell on her cheek like drizzle.
"Bao'er, my Bao'er, you are the fairy sent by God to save me."
He once thought that he would be childless and loveless and live alone until the end of his life.
He never expected that one day, the beloved would be pregnant with baby, nestling in his arms.
A warm current flowed through his body, and his heart, which had once been cold and hard, was now soft as water.
Murong Di Ze knelt on one knee, put his arms around Liu Qianyu's waist, and kissed her belly affectionately and lovingly.
He felt the little guy inside move!
"It's moving! It's moving! Bao'er, the child is greeting father!"
Murong Di Ze was as excited as a child, full of joy.
Just as Murong Di Ze was immersed in joy, the sound of brisk footsteps broke the tranquility.
She walked in with a smile on her face, carrying an exquisite food box.
"Cousin, I brought you some Jiangnan-style snacks. I'm sure you'll love them the most."
Sun Zeyu's voice was as warm as spring, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Murong Dize, who was standing beside Liu Qianyu and had an extraordinary temperament. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Murong Di Ze blocked the way and protected Liu Qianyu behind him.
He frowned slightly, looking Sun Zeyu up and down, his tone revealing a wariness that could not be ignored.
"Who are you?"
For Murong Di Ze, let alone a man, even if she looked at a male cat for a few more times, he would be filled with jealousy, not to mention that Sun Zeyu was a handsome man?
Murong Di Ze's jar, which was old and sour, suddenly became boiling.
