Wishful Things

Emperor Qingming was also faintly aware of something, and was waiting for the imperial physician to speak without a moment's notice.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is happy..."

Emperor Qingming's eyes brightened, and the body that was leaning on the back of the chair suddenly sat upright: "Really?!"

"Looking at the pulse, I should have been pregnant for more than two months, there is absolutely no mistake."

Emperor Qingming's eyes were full of joy, he looked at Concubine Jing who was sitting there, and asked with a smile: "Did my concubine not notice it before?"

Concubine Jing shook her head with an excited expression and flushed cheeks: "The concubine has always been careless, and I have never dared to have such delusions..."

Watching this scene, the queen on the side always had a dignified smile on her face.

Now she finally understood why the younger sister suddenly lost her footing, and finally understood why she refused to touch half a mouthful of crabs at last night's dinner.

Seeing Emperor Qingming looking at her, the queen smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations to the queen too." Emperor Qingming smiled warmly and kindly: "We are going to have another child."

The queen had expected that such a confusing speech would be waiting for her, so she just nodded her head and said in agreement: "Yes, this is also the blessing of my concubine."

Hearing the empress say "one more child" and "a concubine's blessing", as if the child had already been born, Imperial Physician Zheng on the side showed a hesitant expression.

"By the way, my beloved concubine felt dizzy just now—" Emperor Qingming had already changed the title of Concubine Jing, and asked Imperial Physician Zheng at this time: "I wonder if the fetus is stable?"

Imperial Physician Zheng secretly felt that this matter was a bit troublesome.

The emperor actually knew to ask about the fetus. It can be seen that he has devoted himself to studying the matter of dragon heirs over the years...

"Weichen is about to say this... Judging from the pulse condition of Empress Jing, the fetus is indeed a little unstable..."

The smile on Emperor Qingming's face disappeared in an instant.

Concubine Jing's expression also became tense, and she couldn't care less about being shy for a moment.

"Is there a remedy?" Emperor Qingming asked seriously.

"The most urgent thing is to rest in bed as much as possible to support the pregnancy. Don't run around and get tired, and pay more attention to diet." Zheng Taiyi said: "This minister will prescribe a pregnancy-preserving prescription for your mother to take for recuperation."

Hearing this, and thinking about Concubine Jing running around with him these past two days, and this time following him to the palace for spring hunting, Emperor Qingming's face became even more ugly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't know that she was pregnant..." Concubine Jing said with some anxiety, "The concubine will definitely listen to the doctor Zheng's instructions so that she can take care of herself."

Seeing her demeanor, Emperor Qingming returned to a faint smile, nodded and said: "Aifei's body is the most important thing, don't be too nervous, just take care of yourself."

When a woman is pregnant, her emotional ups and downs should not be too great, and it is not advisable to speak harshly at this time.

Faintly aware of the emperor's intentions, the queen secretly said in her heart - since ancient times, there is probably no emperor who knows how to have children better than him.

...

On the other side, Duke Zhen followed Wu Chao all the way to a single courtyard.

This is Wu Chao's residence in the palace.

"Why did Wu Shisun bring this old man here?" Lord Zhen Guo asked.

If you have something to say to him alone, but there are obviously many opportunities to speak along the way.

And if it were someone else, at such a juncture, he might not have the patience to follow here—this young man is relatively reliable in his eyes.

"Duke, please come in." Wu Chao walked towards the cubicle.

Seeing that the young man didn't seem to be playing tricks, it was the impatient Duke Zhen who walked in without hesitation.

The servant went in first and lit the lamp, and his vision gradually became brighter. Duke Zhen saw the man in black who was tied hands and feet and was sitting on the ground in front of a large wooden box at a glance.

Duke Zhen: "...is this the assassin from just now?!"

Wu Chao nodded.

This person was the only one who slipped through the cracks of the police guards tonight—that is, the one who hid on the roof and shot cold arrows.

"Wu Shisun knows that this is harboring assassins and secretly detaining important criminals." Zhen Guogong said in an unclear tone.

Wu Chao: "If this is not the case, we can't be left alive."

Zhen Guogong turned his head to look at the young man with clear and calm eyes, and said after a while, "Thank you Wu Shisun for your help today."

"You don't need to say thank you——"

Looking into the young man's eyes, Lord Zhen subconsciously felt that the next sentence might be "The Duke also saved the younger generation's life", but——

"This is what juniors should do." Wu Chao said frankly.

Duke Zhen somehow felt that there was something in these words.

But now is not the time to worry about it.

Duke Zhen walked up to the assassin, drew his sword and pressed it against the opponent's neck, and asked with serious eyes: "Is my grandson in your hands? If you dare to tell half a lie, I will cut off your dog's head immediately!"

The cloth towel stuffed in the assassin's mouth was pulled out, but he didn't yell, and his expression could even be called calm: "I don't know anything, just kill me."

"Don't think that this old man dare not kill you!"

He had asked Yun Liu to use his soldier talisman to mobilize soldiers, but compared to searching aimlessly, it was obviously the most reliable if he could find out the specific whereabouts from the assassin.

However, after hearing his words, the man in black just closed his eyes as if he was dying.

Watching this scene, Wu Chao was silent for a moment.

I thought that Zhao Zhao was so good at interrogating, Zhao Zhao's grandfather must also have extraordinary methods, but now it seems that he is thinking too much, General Xu should be best at fighting, and Zhao Zhao's methods are not inherited from his family.

Seeing that Duke Zhen was about to be enraged, Wu Chao said at the right time: "Mr. Guo, take a step to speak."

Lord Zhen Guo restrained his anger and impatience, and followed him out of the cubicle.

"After arresting him, the subordinates of the younger generation also tried to interrogate him, but this person was very stubborn and refused to reveal anything." Wu Chao said, "It is said that these members of the Purple Star Sect are the most difficult to interrogate, and they will need to resort to extraordinary means—"

Extraordinary means?

Lord Zhen looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to have countermeasures: "What is Wu Shisun's best move?"

"The junior has sent someone to invite Miss Xu back."

"...?" Duke Zhen was confused for a moment.

The co-author of the "extraordinary means" in the mouth of the other party is actually his granddaughter?

At this moment, Duke Zhen's mood was complicated.

This kid seems to know too much, and I'm afraid he won't be able to deceive him by deception alone.

It seems that in the end, he will have to resort to extreme measures.

Wu Chao, who always felt that the old man misunderstood something, added vigilantly: "The younger generation just thinks that Miss Xu is talented and she must have a way."

Duke Zhen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Then he couldn't help saying in a tone of "heroes see the same thing": "Well, this old man thinks so too—"

While speaking, undisguised appreciation appeared in his eyes.

good.

He likes such young people with vision, courage and courage.
