The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Wow, she's pregnant!

Is it possible that a little Wa-ge or a little Tang-mei is coming soon?

Xie Changqing was the first to react, her eyes widening in surprise. "Then I'm about to become an uncle, no, maybe an aunt!"

The imperial physician stared at him in disbelief: "...?"

Everyone turned to look.

What? You've already changed your gender before even having a baby?

It's best to decide on the baby's gender before it's born.

Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you're so excited you could cry.

"Of course! We've seen plenty of creatures that are both scholarly and martial, but one that can be both male and female is a first."

Faced with the indescribable gazes of the crowd, Xie Changqing suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head.

"Um, I didn't react for a second and got it wrong... By the way, how old is the child?"

The imperial physician replied, "Her Majesty is about two months pregnant."

[For more than two months, that was just around the Lunar New Year, right? Wa Ge took advantage of his hand injury to eat and drink to his heart's content.]

[It has to be a son, after all, the imperial family truly has a throne to inherit.]

[Which mental hospital did she escape from? Is she addicted to being a mother-in-law? What's wrong with a girl? Can't she be an empress?]

[Support! We want girls!]

The atmosphere inside the tent, which had been tense just moments before, suddenly warmed up as if bathed in sunlight.

The Empress Dowager clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured, "May our ancestors bless us; the Xie family finally has an heir..."

Ning Nishang was finally relieved; thankfully, Tangtang was alright.

Qi Jiyun frowned, tsk, she was still a child herself, and she was about to become a mother.

Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all happy in the end.

"However..." the imperial physician finished, "Her Majesty the Empress was just attacked by assassins and frightened by a tiger, so her pregnancy is temporarily unstable..."

Under the emperor's suddenly darkening gaze, the imperial physician hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will prescribe medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. As long as you take good care of yourself for a few days, there will be no major problems."

Recalling the prescription that Physician Kou had presented before the spring hunt, Xie Ling said, "Summon Kou Zhong."

Kou Yuanpan, who was eager to advance his career and had already been promoted, rushed over and joined the imperial physician from earlier to discuss a prescription for a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. They soon went to brew the medicine.

Li Degui personally guarded the medicine furnace, not allowing even a fly to get close.

This is His Majesty and His Highness's first child. He vowed to protect it with his life and would never allow anyone to take advantage of the situation!

……

Concerned about the injured Chi Zheng, Qi Jiyun went out first.

Ning Nishang wanted to stay and wait for Qi Yitang to wake up, but Xie Ling forced her to leave.

"Get out, everyone."

Like a male beast marking its territory, Xie Ling blocked everyone's view, not allowing them to even look at him for long.

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Here we go again. Let's see if we can take a piece of flesh from him."

Princess Anping spoke up, "Everyone, please leave. Too many people will prevent the Empress from getting any peace of mind."

Xie Changqing had never understood but respected his elder brother's excessive and morbid possessiveness, and filed out with the others.

Hehe, he'll be an uncle soon.

Someone else cleaned up the mess outside, and the curtains were drawn, shutting out most of the noise from outside.

child……

Xie Ling slowly placed her hand on Qi Yitang's lower abdomen, gently, as if touching a rare treasure.

Even knowing that it was just an unformed embryo inside and wouldn't respond, Xie Ling still truly felt a connection of blood.

He half-lifted the unconscious Qi Yitang and let her lean against his chest.

He leaned down and placed a very light and precious kiss on her forehead.

"Tangtang, we're having a baby..."

No one knew the turmoil in Xie Ling's heart. He never dared to hope that a prince who came from the cold palace and an emperor whose hands were stained with countless blood and filth could have such a perfect life.

But now, they have a child, inheriting his and her bloodline, who will softly call out "Father Emperor, Mother Empress," and will slowly grow up...

A surge of intense emotion welled up from my heart and spread to every part of my body.

Xie Ling felt that all the hardships and wanderings of her first half of life were for the purpose of getting to this moment.

A tear fell silently, landing precisely on Qi Yitang's eyelash and slowly sliding down.

[So sexy! I almost cried when Wa Ge cried.]

I can't imagine how lucky this child will be; being born into the right family is truly a skill.

……

Qi Yitang woke up in the evening.

She may have been terrified by the tiger while unconscious, because in her dream she was in a deep, secluded forest.

There was no one around, and the trees were tall and dense, twisted like ghostly shadows.

Qi Yitang stood there alone, looking around nervously. "Yanzhi?"

No one answered.

"Yanzhi!" she called again, raising her voice, and subconsciously looked around.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind, like something sliding along the ground, its scales scraping against the dry leaves, sending chills down one's spine.

Qi Yitang stiffly turned her head and saw two snakes slithering on the ground, one deep and one shallow, one thick and one thin.

The lighter one, with its round head and chubby face, actually looks rather cute and adorable.

The deeper one, however, had a triangular tip and gleamed with a cold, dark light, clearly indicating that it was highly poisonous.

The two snakes didn't say a word, but swam towards her in unison, hissing and flicking their tongues.

Although Qi Yitang was born in the Year of the Snake, she doesn't really like snakes in real life.

Especially venomous snakes; a bite from one could be fatal.

In her dream, there were no constraints; she took off running, shouting as she went, "Don't come any closer! Don't chase me!"

But the two snakes relentlessly pursued her, and she accidentally fell to the ground. The two snakes immediately coiled around her ankles, crawling upwards in circles. The cool, scaly scales clung to her skin, a terrifying sensation.

Qi Yitang screamed, "Yanzhi, save me!"

The outstretched hand grasped solidity from nothingness, and a familiar voice reached her ear, "Tangtang, your husband is here."

Qi Yitang suddenly opened her eyes and met Xie Ling's concerned and handsome face.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Xie Ling gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. That tiger is dead."

It was already dark outside, and the candlelight by the bedside flickered with a warm yellow light. She was no longer in the hunting tent, but on the soft bed in the palace.

It has no scales and no venomous snakes.

Qi Yitang let out a long sigh of relief; it was just a dream.

The events leading up to her unconsciousness flooded back like a tidal wave: the assassin, the mad tiger, and her cousin rushing out to shield her...

"How is everyone? Is Jiahe and Jiasui alright? Chizheng seems to be injured, and your brother was also knocked away by the tiger..." Qi Yitang struggled to sit up, but Xie Ling gently pressed her back down.

"Don't move."

Xie Ling gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. "Everyone else is fine, why don't you ask yourself what's wrong?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Qi Yitang felt that she was in good spirits, except for a slight discomfort in her abdomen, otherwise she was fine.

She's probably hungry; she feels uncomfortable when she's hungry.

"Don't worry, I was probably just scared unconscious by the tiger. I'll be fine once I wake up," she reassured him.

Xie Ling slowly took her hand, their eyes met, and said, "Tangtang, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
