Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 20 Emperor and Empress vs. Duke's Heir
"I don't want to!"
Xi Yao used her charm and clung to him.
How could we miss such a great opportunity?
Once soaked in water, the gauze seemed to disappear completely.
The softness pressed against his body made it impossible for Chu Jingheng to ignore it.
His body was already tense, and his breath was uncontrollably hot.
"Yaoyao, you're almost five months pregnant..."
Xi Yao interrupted her immediately, "It's okay, I know, Ah Heng, I miss you~"
While talking, his hands and feet were also moving around.
"Um--"
Chu Jingheng couldn't hold back and suddenly let out a muffled groan, his eyes turning crimson.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly, his voice hoarse, and said, "If you feel unwell, please let me know as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of water in the hot spring grew louder.
The mist gradually thickened, and the two figures, appearing and disappearing intermittently, remained motionless for a long time...
...............
The two spent a month shamelessly at the imperial estate.
Xi Yao's smile never faded.
She looked as if she had been thoroughly nourished, and her beautiful face was even more captivating.
Those affectionate eyes were already filled with spring water.
Xi Yao reluctantly left Huangzhuang and returned to the palace the day before the emperor was to return.
Looking at the familiar palace, Xi Yao sighed silently.
It was so great to spend every day with the big boss; I don't want to come back.
When the Empress returns to the palace, Xi Yao is to pay her respects on the first day.
Her growing belly once again subjected her to the piercing gazes of the imperial concubines.
The Empress glanced at the belly as well, concealing the joy in her eyes, and began her usual questions and business.
Xi Yao leaned back in her chair, her gaze sweeping over the seemingly docile concubines.
Suddenly, I realized that Liu Jieyu was not there.
She raised an eyebrow. Consort Liu had gone hunting with the Emperor; could it be…?
"Liu Jieyu suffered from acclimatization issues while traveling and suddenly fell seriously ill. She did not come to pay her respects today."
It was the Empress's voice.
"We're all sisters, so after you've paid your respects, please find some time to visit Consort Liu."
After speaking, the Empress's gaze fell on Xi Yao.
"Li Wanyi is pregnant with the emperor's child, so she shouldn't go, lest she catch the illness. It's better to have someone visit her on her behalf."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The event ended quickly.
On the way back, Xi Yao couldn't help but ask the system:
"996, is Liu Jieyu suffering from a poisoning attack?"
Yes, the poison has taken effect.
"How could she become seriously ill so quickly? Doesn't the medicine take several months to reach the stage of serious illness? For example, Consort Yang just caught a minor cold and is perfectly fine now."
It was Consort Liu who brought this upon herself. She tried to seduce the emperor at the hunting grounds, first deliberately falling into the water, and then catching a cold.
Even here, she didn't stop, plotting to seduce the emperor by dancing in the middle of the night. As the night deepened and the dew intensified, the cold intensified, her health deteriorated, and the poison's effects accelerated.
Xi Yao: ………
Liu Jieyu is truly persistent.
Less than half a month later, Xi Yao heard that Liu Jieyu had died.
It was surprisingly fast.
But she felt no emotion whatsoever.
(⌒.−)=★
Time flies, and Xi Yao is already nine months pregnant, with her due date fast approaching.
The Empress had already arranged for reliable midwives and wet nurses in advance.
But Chu Jingheng was still nervous and worried, checking it again and again.
He stayed in Yaohua Palace every night.
Fortunately, the emperor hasn't come over recently.
A few days before the due date, another major event occurred in the palace.
Consort Li Zhuang has gone mad.
She went so mad that she didn't even recognize her own child and almost strangled the already frail eldest prince to death.
In everyone's eyes, the reason why Consort Li went mad was because the entire Li family was exiled, and she couldn't bear the blow, which led to her madness.
During this period, all of the Li family's crimes were exposed, and the evidence was irrefutable.
The emperor was furious. He confiscated the Li family's property, exiled them to the border, and forbade them from ever returning to the capital.
Consort Li went to plead with the emperor, but was driven out and told that she would be demoted to the Cold Palace.
Of course, Consort Li went mad.
She was acting crazy, crying and making a scene in the palace, losing control of her bladder and bowels, and even tightly choking the eldest prince by the neck.
If the palace maid hadn't discovered it early, the eldest prince would probably be dead.
The emperor was cold and ruthless, and simply ordered her to be locked up in the cold palace, her fate left to chance.
The once high and mighty Consort Li, who had been arrogant and domineering in the palace for so many years, has now fallen to this state, leaving everyone sighing with regret.
But not many people were truly saddened for her.
After all, over the years, Consort Li had offended almost everyone in the palace.
The eldest prince was entrusted to a concubine who had little influence in the family.
He was a sickly man, unable to inherit the throne, and the emperor didn't pay him much attention.
……
Xi Yao started, and it was at night.
Yaohua Palace was brightly lit.
The emperor and empress were in the outer room, while Chu Jingheng was in the next room, looking very nervous.
Inside the delivery room, the palace maids and nannies were well-trained and worked in an orderly manner.
Xi Yao felt the pain of contractions, and when no one was paying attention, she quickly swallowed a painless childbirth pill.
[Host, although you don't feel anything after taking the medicine, you need to scream in pain right away, otherwise people will get suspicious.]
"I know, it's just in the works."
Soon, screams of agony echoed from the delivery room.
There was also a soothing voice from a nanny: "Your Highness, push harder!"
The emperor sat to one side drinking tea, his eyes filled with anticipation and joy at the prospect of a new imperial heir.
The empress stood to the side with a blank expression, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.
She kept praying to the gods and Buddhas to protect her and her child.
This is the hope and future of the Chu family.
Hearing the painful sounds from the next room, Chu Jingheng felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Yao Yao!"
He leaned against the wall with one hand, his eyes red-rimmed.
The thought of the person on the other side suffering while giving birth to his child filled him with boundless love, but also with deep regret and fear.
"ah--"
Another scream nearly made Chu Jingheng rush out the door to check on her.
But he knew he couldn't do that.
This will only harm Yao Yao and the child.
Chu Jingheng pressed his forehead against the wall, suppressing his emotions and daring not to relax.
With his eyes closed, he painstakingly dug several small holes in the wall with his fingers.
After an unknown amount of time, the cry of a baby broke the darkness along with the dawn.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Consort Wan has given birth to a prince. Mother and child are safe and sound."
"real?"
The Empress suddenly stood up, unable to contain her excitement any longer.
The emperor had no time to pay attention to anything else at this moment; his mind was filled with thoughts of his princes.
"Hahaha, I have another prince! Reward everyone present in Yaohua Palace today!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A whole bunch of them knelt down with a thud.
Hearing the commotion and knowing that the mother and child were safe, Chu Jingheng felt a great sense of relief and slid down the wall to sit on the ground.
Tears welled up in those bloodshot eyes.
"Yaoyao, thank you."
He murmured softly.
[Congratulations, host, on the birth of a son. 100 points awarded. Remaining points: 136.]
Hearing the system's voice, Xi Yao slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Although it doesn't hurt, it's still mentally taxing, and I feel so tired.
