After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 497 It’s Over
Lou Chen's expression was grim: "It seems I asked too many questions!"

Pei Yuanjun did not reply.

Both of them knew exactly what had happened. It was likely that the beauty was not only having a difficult childbirth but was also carrying a princess, which was why the emperor had taken action against her beforehand.

At this moment, Crown Prince Jingxuan also arrived and entered one after the other with the Empress.

The two men bowed to Lou Chen and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty (Father)!"

"No need for formalities, rise! Your Highness is certainly well-informed; is there no class today?"

Jingxuan calmly replied, "Father, I have finished all my homework for today. When I went to see Mother after school, I learned that a beauty in the palace was about to give birth, and it seems that someone has died. That's why I came to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Oh! Is that so? Your Highness is very thoughtful!"

"It is my duty to share the burdens of my father."

"Your Majesty, I wonder what exactly happened today?" the Empress asked, feigning concern.

"Your Majesty, please go in quickly! Lady Xian insists on waiting for you before she will deliver my beloved concubine's baby."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Empress pushed open the door and went in, only to find Eunuch Desheng already waiting inside. A mournful sound came from the inner room.

Upon seeing the Empress, Eunuch Desheng immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Rise, there's no need for such formalities! Tell me what's going on here?"

"This……"

"Why is it hard to say?" The Empress's face remained cold but still held a certain air of authority.

Just then, Qi Yunran's voice came from the inner room: "Since Your Majesty the Empress has come in, please come in and take a look with Eunuch Desheng! By the way, Your Majesty, could you please lend me one of your ladies-in-waiting?"

The Empress gave the lady-in-waiting a meaningful glance, and the lady-in-waiting immediately went inside!

The Empress and Eunuch Desheng also went in, but were blocked behind a screen.

The Empress looked at the dilapidated Cold Palace with displeasure; the smell inside was unbearable, so she covered her mouth and nose with her hand.

She didn't need to get involved in this mess today. But Qi Yunran dragged her into it. She'd better not spout nonsense in front of the Emperor.

otherwise……

Eunuch Desheng also looked anxiously at the screen, only to see that the Empress, who had been screaming so fiercely at the beginning, was now screaming very weakly. It was as if she was about to breathe her last!
So he loudly questioned, "Lady Xian, have you killed the Empress and the Prince? They are already poisoned, and the imperial physicians have said there is nothing they can do. Please stop torturing them and let them spend their last moments together."

There were figures moving around behind the screen, but there was no time to pay attention to them.

Even though he wanted to go in, he didn't dare to make any rash moves while the Empress was watching him.

Because the emperor didn't want the princess in the empress's womb to live, he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the prime minister.

The original plan was to wait until the envoys from the four countries came to offer their birthday greetings before taking action.

But life is unpredictable. The prince who was in the beauty's belly was suddenly diagnosed by the imperial physician as a princess, and he also suffered a difficult childbirth. The emperor then launched a conspiracy against the prime minister.

What was supposed to be a certain death turned into a disaster thanks to Lady Xian, who claimed to have a way to save them. She even went so far as to provoke the Emperor, asking if he didn't want the Empress and her unborn child!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emperor only agreed to let the imperial physician treat him after hearing her say that there was no hope.

However, the price is immediate beheading if the condition cannot be cured.

Just as Desheng and the Empress were suffering greatly.

Suddenly, a faint cry of a newborn baby startled the Empress and Eunuch Desheng.

His eyes kept glancing behind the screen.

I unconsciously took a few steps forward and saw the female official come out carrying a baby.

The Empress's heart skipped a beat: "Is it... a prince, or a princess?"

The female official glanced at the Empress, then lowered her head: "It's a full-term princess!"

Desheng's face turned deathly pale. It's all over!
The Empress, however, was overjoyed: "Princess, Princess! As long as mother and daughter are safe, I will reward you handsomely."

At this moment, Qi Yunran stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please wait. This matter needs to be decided by the Emperor!"
