"Ahh Really pregnant? Ren Xiaoyao's eyes widened, huge surprises filled his chest, Jun's face turned red, his hands unconsciously waved in the air for a moment, and asked incoherently, "My?" ”

"Die!" Qian Yun was furious and kicked him hard: "Who is it that is not yours?" ”

grabbed Imperial Doctor Wu, who was smiling and groaning, and Ren Xiaoyao said uneasily: "Lord Wu, are you right?" I see that you just casually took the pulse and behaved very sloppily, or would you take a closer look? ”

Imperial Doctor Wu said with a smile: "Although the Marquis Ren is relieved, the old man has seen countless illnesses in his life, but a small happy pulse is nine out of ten, and it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ren Xiaoyao was still not at ease, he looked at Imperial Doctor Wu suspiciously, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord Wu, to be honest, before entering the palace as an imperial doctor, did you ever be a veterinarian?" ”

“……”

Imperial Doctor Wu prescribed a few pairs of medicines to strengthen the foundation and stabilize the fetus, and then walked away with a gloomy old face and blowing his beard.

Ren's mansion was boiling.

A great happy event, Young Master Ren's wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Qianyun is pregnant with the first child of the Ren family. The whole house was full of joy and preached and recited everywhere. The Ren family has been passed down for several generations, and the huge family business is pitiful, and after several generations, it is still lonely and lonely, and there is no successor. Now that Ren Xiaoyao's main room is pregnant with the descendants of the Ren family, it is undoubtedly a sensational event for the entire Ren Mansion.

Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren heard the news, immediately shed happy old tears, overnight instructed people to prepare livestock incense candles, early the next morning, they gathered people in the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Ren family, to comfort the ancestors in the sky, the Ren family finally has a queen, from the family prosperity, the lofty goal of spreading branches and leaves is a step closer.

Master Ren led Ren Xiaoyao to cry in the ancestral ancestral hall, now the Ren family business is huge, and his son Ren Xiaoyao is angry, not only sealed the official, but also hereditary marquis, so that the Ren family step out of the low-status merchant class, become a veritable powerful door valve, the most competitive is still the daughter-in-law Princess Qianyun, seeing that he is about to add a new person to the Ren family, family business, power, and heirs, Master Ren is relieved, he feels that even if he closes his eyes tomorrow, he will be blind.

Ren Xiaoyao knelt on the bluestone floor tiles in the ancestral hall, rubbed his legs that were numb from kneeling, looked at the rows of ancestral tablets in front of him, and the portraits of the ancestors hanging on the wall in turn, Ren Xiaoyao pouted very secretly.

My wife is my favorite, and the child was conceived after my own hard work day and night, what does it matter to these ancestors? My wife is pregnant, why do you have to let me come to the ancestral hall? I have to respectfully thank my ancestors for their blessing, what a joke, if I don't pay for my hard work, you will bless you with a fart......

Ren Xiaoyao was very unimpressed with this feudal superstitious behavior that ignored his personal labor.

"Zheng'er, come, incense to the ancestors and ancestors, kowtow." Master Ren wiped his tears and said. He knelt alone in front of the tablet and nagged for a long time, turning over and over the words of thanks and reciting them countless times, and then he couldn't stop his mouth.

Ren Xiaoyao squinted at the tablet and said with a dry smile: "Dad, this ...... After the Ren family, the child thinks that I have the most credit...... Why do we have to thank our ancestors? My wife is pregnant with a child, and they don't help, it depends entirely on their own efforts......"

"Huh?" Master Ren frowned, and his expression was quite unkind.

"Why don't you ......" Ren Xiaoyao glanced at his father cautiously: "...... Forget it at a moment, the later sacrifices, please God, prayers and other procedures, can be exempted, children are busy with government affairs......"

"I'll kill you bastard!" Master Ren suddenly turned his face, copied a half-zhang long top door stick from nowhere, and hit Ren Xiaoyao headlessly.

"Ah-Dad, calm down, this is the ancestral hall, be solemn and solemn......" Ren Xiaoyao was beaten several times, screamed loudly, and rushed out of the ancestral hall gate with his head in his hands.

"The old man can't calm down when he sees you, a son of a, and today the old man has to beat you to death in front of the ancestors and ancestors!" The old man is old, but his skills are still vigorous and flexible, and the stick dances up to the wind, and the murderous spirit of the end is overwhelming, and there is an invincible momentum.

The housekeeper and the subordinates kneeling outside the ancestral hall saw that the two masters of the Ren family, an old man and a young man, were doing well but suddenly came out of the ancestral hall, and staged a good show of chasing and killing outside the ancestral hall.

Outside the ancestral hall, Ren Xiaoyao was holding his buttocks with one hand and his head with the other, jumping up and down, screaming again and again.

"Ahh......h

"Fart! The ancestors and ancestors have spirits in the sky, and they will only clap their hands and applaud! Son, look at the stick! ”

"Ahh

※※※

In the emperor's bedroom, more than a dozen palace lamps were hung high, illuminating the dormitory.

The eunuchs and palace maids stood quietly outside the palace gate, and they didn't dare to come out, standing motionless. Groups of parade soldiers marched along the narrow and smooth corridor outside the palace, carefully and vigilantly stepping one after another.

The emperor was pale, he couldn't stop covering his mouth and coughing, he was holding the sick body, lying on the sickbed, the fat man was holding the fold in his hand, reading it to him one by one, and then put forward his own opinions, and the emperor evaluated the rights and wrongs of his handling of any law.

Looking at the white-haired, already senile father of the emperor, like a swaying lone lamp in the cold wind, it may be blown out by the wind at any time, the fat man's heart became more and more sad, and he held back his tears, and the sound of chanting began to choke.

The emperor turned his head, squeezed out a smile, and said hoarsely: "No disease, don't be sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, if I die, this country can be all pressed on your shoulders alone, no disease, don't live up to my expectations, remember what you promised me, in the future, you will be a Ming Jun who will make a difference, Renjun ......"

Looking at the fat man with deep eyes, the emperor sighed: "...... At that time, the court will be turbulent, the world will be uneasy, and the people will suffer again, and there will be no disease, you must remember, as an emperor, you must not save the kindness of a woman, when you should be ruthless, you need to be ruthless, even if some innocent people are not involved, for the peace of the world, this is the price that must be paid. ”

The fat man nodded tearfully.

The emperor looked at the fat man and smiled with satisfaction: "While I can still take a breath, what I can do for you, try to do it for you, after you ascend the throne in the future, you can implement your ideas and political opinions without scruples, no one will be hindered by the court, no one will take the throne outside the court, and the whole world is a blank sheet of paper in front of you, which you can wield at will, and the wonderful pen will ......"

The fat man's tears finally fell, and he looked at the emperor with emotion, choked up so much that he couldn't say a word.

The emperor's face sank, his cloudy eyes looked fixedly outside the palace gate, and he said in a flat tone: "A few days ago, Ren Yao secretly played a secret game, saying that King Shou had bad intentions and got the evidence. I personally tried the case and found that what Ren Xiaoyao said was true, and King Shou really wanted to take advantage of the rebellion of Prince Zhenping to enter Xingqing Mansion in the west, kill the generals and seize the army, and then attack the capital. Fortunately, Ren Xiaoyao stopped Shouwang's car in time that night, otherwise...... What awaits you is another life-and-death war, and hundreds of people will suffer again. ”

The fat man wiped his tears, and said with a smile: "Ren Xiaoyao's kid has no other skills, but his luck is first-class......"

The emperor also smiled, and then said indifferently: "I have cut off King Shou from the prince, demoted him to a commoner, sent to Lingnan, and will not be allowed to enter Beijing for the rest of his life, and the king of England, I have also changed his domain to Qiongzhou, the extreme south, and strictly ordered him to leave Beijing within a time limit to become a vassal, and he will not enter Beijing without an edict in the future, otherwise he will be ......punished for rebellion."

The fat man was taken aback, King Shou had the intention of rebellion, and there was nothing to say about demoting him to a commoner. But the king of England did not make any mistakes, why did his father treat him so harshly?

As if seeing the fat man's doubts, the emperor sighed and said, "You are all my own sons, isn't it distressing for me to do this?" However, if you are too kind to them, it will breed their disobedience, and I do not want your brothers to fight for the throne after death, and I think about it, only by doing so can we avoid such a tragedy, and as for their fate in the future, it is entirely up to you. No disease, do you understand? ”

The fat man thought for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "Father, the son understands a little." When their father's authority is given to them, their sons will show them kindness in the future, and then their foundation will be lost, and they will no longer be able to rebel, and they will be grateful for the kindness of their sons. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I still have something to explain to you, there have been too many major events in the court in the past year, so that this matter has dragged on for nearly a year and has not been able to free up my hands to do it, now that I am old, I see that I will not have a few days to live, I will hand over this matter to you, and this is also the first major thing you will do after you ascend the throne." You have to do it with all your heart. ”

"Father, please command."

"In July last year, Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, secretly played that the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, except for Jiaxing, the other six prefects colluded with each other, privately changed account books and household registrations, falsely reported the taxes collected, and privately swallowed the amount of ink, and the amount was very huge, and it is said that this case is also inextricably linked with some important ministers in Beijing......

"Father, do you have a clue about this case now?"

"No, last year I was busy dealing with Pan Wenyuan's rebellion, and I couldn't spare my hands to handle the case, after Pan Wenyuan's ambush, I originally planned to let Ren Xiaoyao go down to Jiangnan to investigate, but Ren Xiaoyao was kidnapped out of the city again, and he didn't return in October, and after Ren Xiaoyao returned to Beijing, the prince and King Shou began to move again, these things were one after another, and I had no time to take care of them, so it has been delayed until today."

"Since my father wants Ren Yao to investigate this matter, my son will let him investigate it in a few days."

The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Now that the prince's rebellion has been eliminated, and the world is peaceful, Ren Xiaoyao must have started the idea of enjoying Qingfu, if he doesn't make it, he may still want to resign and go into hiding, and from then on he will eat, drink and have fun without any ties......

The fat man heard this, and then laughed.

The candlelight in the dormitory flickered, and a pair of unscrupulous fathers and sons looked at each other and smiled, accompanied by intermittent coughing sounds, echoing and fluttering in the night sky of the palace......

※※※

In the office. Ren Xiaoyao was lying on the bed enjoying Xiao Lu's full body massage, and suddenly felt a chill inexplicably.

"Ah Chirp-" Ren Xiaoyao let out a loud sneeze, then shivered involuntarily, raised his head, and looked around vigilantly.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Midori asked, puzzled.

"I feel a demonic aura of obscenity and evil sects, which is sweeping towards me......" Ren Xiaoyao looked around, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn! Lao Tzu will definitely commit villain ...... in the next few days"

Outside the Yangzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River.

The courtyard is still as dilapidated as ever, and the weeping willows outside the courtyard are neatly arranged along the winding canal, and the tender green branches quietly hang down into the water, swaying with the waves, like a sympathetic hand caressing the cheeks.

In the back hall of the courtyard, Yang Cheng was honestly kneeling on the white jade floor, and was reporting the recent situation in Beijing to the owner behind the bead curtain.

"The prince was really defeated." The owner behind the beaded curtain sighed long.

"Yes, my lord, in the battle of Shenlie Mountain, more than 80,000 people of the prince's private army were annihilated, and the emperor decreed that all the rebels should be slaughtered and refused to surrender. In addition, more than 50,000 people from the border army of Chai Mengshan in Youzhou, which the prince colluded with, were also surrounded by the border army of Xiazhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River. ”

"Humph! Good means! So vicious! The prince's city mansion is scheming enough, but compared to the emperor, it is still worse than the heat......"

"Lord ......" Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, this time the prince rebelled, and the emperor stuck to the top of Shenlie Mountain, but he could really mobilize the border army of Xiazhou, seize the power of the capital's city defense, and even transfer troops to help the emperor...... Let it go! ”

"Is that him?" Behind the bead curtain, the master's tone was a little surprised: "How could it be him?" That scoundrel who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to only steal chickens and dogs? ”

"Yes, Lord, my subordinates dare not hide anything. It is said that this rebellion against the crown prince was arranged by the emperor in advance, and Ren Xiaoyao contributed a lot to it. ”

After being stunned for a long time, behind the bead curtain, the master was thoughtful: "A businessman is a pariah, his appearance is frivolous, and the prince's defeat is because of this person...... It seems that I have to look at him again, fortunately, I did not participate in this rebellion in the capital, and it was right to decide to plan and act in the first place......"

After a pause, the master said lightly: "What else is there news in the capital?" ”

"After the rebellion, the ministers of the prince's party in the court were all purged, or degraded or beheaded, the emperor has officially decreed, canonized King Fu as the crown prince, the same day to supervise the country, and at the same time to verify that King Shou wants to misbehave, the emperor has cut King Shou off the prince, demoted to the common people, and assigned to Lingnan. The British Prince's domain was renamed in Qiongzhou, and he left Beijing within a time limit to become a vassal......"

"Degrading the princes and ministers, driving them away, he is paving the way for King Fu to ascend the throne......" The master sighed: "The emperor is seriously ill, is the limit approaching?" ”

"Yes, the early court has stopped in the past few days, and I heard that the emperor is bedridden in the dormitory, and his mind has been in a coma several times, and the palace Shangli Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites in the court have begun to prepare for the funeral."

He ...... can be regarded as a good emperor......" Behind the bead curtain, the master's tone was a little complicated: "...... It's a pity that the times are not good, and I can't do anything in vain in my life, which makes people sigh ......"

Yang Cheng hung his head and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.

"Where's the curling?"

"She has successfully lurked beside King Fu, but she reported that King Fu seems to be suspicious of her and is quite guarded."

"Then let her continue to lurk and win the trust of King Fu, and I will be of great use when it is critical."

"Yes, Lord."

"It seems that I have to leave for a trip back to the capital." The host sighed softly.

"Ah...... Husband, help me hand over the tea on the table, I want ...... No, the baby in my belly is going to drink water......" Qian Yun leaned lazily on the chaise longue, one of the two maids beat her legs, the other pinched her shoulders, and enjoyed the waiters of the people next to her like a parasite.

Ren Xiaoyao is dialing the abacus beads, calculating the prince's family property, and the emperor ordered him to hand over all the dirty silver obtained when he copied the prince's mansion to the treasury, but what kind of person is Ren Xiaoyao? If you want me to hand it in, I'll hand it in, so I'm not working in vain? So, on this sunny spring day, the husband and wife sat in the courtyard, Qian Yun leaned on the recliner comfortably basking in the lazy sun, while Ren Xiaoyao dialed the abacus beads, concentrating on what to hand in, what to withhold, and what would disappear inexplicably in the end.

Ren Xiaoyao was sweating profusely, raised his head, and glanced at Qian Yun: "Your cup of tea is only half a foot away from you, and you can reach it with your hand, so you don't have to work to bring it to you personally, right?" ”

Qian Yun pursed her mouth coquettishly: "But, the baby in my belly said that he wants to drink the tea that his father brought him......"

Ren Xiaoyao's face twitched, and finally stood up, handed the tea cup on the desk to Qian Yun, who took it happily, smiling so that her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, which was very cute.

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at Qian Yun's still flat belly, and smiled maliciously: "Say to the baby in your belly, if you want to be less beaten by your father after birth, give me some peace now, and there will be fewer moths, otherwise Lao Tzu will ...... his *** bullet and swollen."

"you! Is there a father like you? Qian Yun punched him angrily and hatefully: "Our son will definitely be in the future and will be in the phase, much more promising than you." ”

Ren Xiaoyao blinked and smiled: "How do you know that it must be a son?" ”

Qian Yun raised her little face and hummed very confidently: "A woman's intuition, if I say that he is a son, he must be a son!" ”

Look at how domineering this princess is, even the gender of the child is set to death, where can God reason with it?

Ren Xiaoyao was a little worried, worried about the women in the capital, if Qian Yun really gave birth to a son, his father was the powerful second-rank minister and hereditary loyal and brave marquis, his wife was the princess of the Hua Dynasty, and his grandfather was the richest businessman in the Hua Dynasty, his grandfather...... Alas, his grandfather is an emperor, and his fat uncle is about to become an emperor, how will he get it when he grows up in the future? Born in such a super dream family that is extremely wealthy, gathering wealth and power at the pinnacle, damn it! Isn't this little beast turned the world upside down? In the future, an ignorant and poor girl with a big belly will come to the door to ask him to be responsible, should I praise him for picking up a girl, or beat him to death?

Tsk, the egg hurts......

Since Qian Yun became pregnant with a child, she has become more domineering than before. As a wife, she was pregnant with the first child of the Ren family, and since then the status of the eldest woman of the Ren family has become more and more solid and unshakable, and it has also gone to her long-standing heart disease.

Now Qian Yun can be regarded as raising her eyebrows, and the depression of more than half a year has been swept away, and her little pretty face is full of a satisfied smile, and she enjoys the attentive waiters of the people very calmly.

Standing up, Qian Yun twisted her waist slightly, sighed comfortably, stretched her waist, looked like Yan Shan, but said proudly: "It's so tiring to lie down, husband, walk around with me, okay?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao gritted her teeth with hatred, she was walking around, she was clearly wandering around the Ren Mansion, showing off that she was the hero of the Ren family, enjoying the praise and envy of the people under the Ren family, and then intoxicated to her father's side, continuing to accept her father's praise and gratitude, and finally in the praise and gratitude, with a satisfied look, floated back to her small courtyard......

Anyway, that's how she's been these days, an unreasonable ancient woman!

"Hey, Mi'er, I said you can stop a little bit?" Ren Xiaoyao had a bitter face, looking at the smug expression that Qian Yun had changed before she went out, and had the urge to press her to the bed, rip off her pants and slap her ass......

"No, as you often say, you have to move around often, and the baby will be ......healthy when it is born in the future," Qian Yun stubbornly wrinkled her nose.

With such an old lady on the stall, if the child in the belly knows, he will be ashamed of himself, right?

"You don't have to look like this even if you walk around, do you? It's only been two months, why do you have to make your belly so obvious? Not afraid to bend your waist? Ren Xiaoyao was very unimpressed with this fake pot-bellied woman.

"Yes! How do others know I'm pregnant with a baby? ”

“……”

Ren Yao sighed deeply.

A pregnant woman is a demon, and there are still eight months left, how can she live this day?

looked at the sky, it was dusk, Ren Xiaoyao carefully helped Qian Yun, some of the subordinates and guards of the Ren Mansion opened the way in front, and some of them were at the end of the back hall, and the group began to wander around the Ren Mansion in a mighty way, knowing that this was the young lady of the Ren family walking, and those who didn't know thought it was the Queen Mother's trip, and the pomp was ridiculously big.

Just walked to the small porch by the garden, but saw Steward Sun in front of him leading the palace Cao Gonggong hurriedly towards them, Cao Gonggong was full of anxiety, stumbling, Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun saw this, the husband and wife looked at each other, and a heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Ren, hurry, hurry! The emperor announced that the two entered the palace...... "Before the Duke Cao arrived, he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Father-in-law Cao, what's going on? But the emperor ...... The emperor ...... "Ren Xiaoyao's heart rises with an ominous feeling."

Gonggong Cao sighed, shook his head and said nothing, his expression extremely sad.

"Father......" Qian Yun screamed sadly, tears couldn't stop flowing, and her body was unsteady and swaying slightly.

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly reached out to support her, turned around and ordered: "Quick!" Prepare the car! ”

※※※

The carriage drove quickly to the palace, ran towards the palace, the forbidden army checked the waist card, Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun ordered the carriage to go straight to the inner palace, and the car arrived at the square in front of the Jinluan Palace, Ren Xiaoyao helped Qian Yun get off the carriage, and the two hurriedly ran to the emperor's bedroom.

Tonight's palace was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, the guard of the forbidden army was much stricter than before, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army were cruising back and forth with spears and swords in their hands, vigilantly watching the slightest movement around them, killing and killing as if facing a great enemy.

Ren Xiaoyao took Qian Yun's hand, looking at the much stricter guard in the palace than usual, his heart became heavier and heavier, on the one hand, he was anxious to see the emperor, and on the other hand, he was worried that Qian Yun was pregnant, and running fast would have an impact on the child in his belly, and he was embarrassed for a while.

The two rushed to the door of the dormitory, and saw that the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty had all arrived, and whether the ministers were really sad in their hearts or not, their expressions were full of pain and sadness. The crowd gathered outside the temple gate, in groups of three or five, and was talking in whispers.

Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun arrived, all the ministers saluted one after another, but Ren Xiaoyao couldn't return the salute, and pulled a minister and asked urgently: "What about the emperor?" What happened to him? ”

The minister shook his head and sighed: "After nightfall, the emperor suddenly vomited blood, and then fell into a coma, after the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated, he woke up just now, and the imperial doctor said, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight......"

Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun were like being struck by lightning, and they were stunned for a while, and then Ren Xiaoyao stomped his feet, grabbed Qian Yun and rushed to the palace.

The minister hurriedly shouted behind him: "Lord Ren, the emperor is now summoning the crown prince, don't go in yet......

Ren Xiaoyao ignored it, ran to the front of the dormitory, but saw that the forbidden soldiers had surrounded the dormitory, and the two lieutenants were guarding the door of the palace with swords, seeing Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun rushing towards regardless of their manners, the two lieutenants raised their swords to stop each other, and said coldly: "No one is allowed to enter without an edict, and the offender will be beheaded!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao pointed at the deputy general and scolded: "Look clearly, don't you even know Lao Tzu?" Who gave you the audacity to stop me and the princess? Don't want to die? ”

The adjutant general grimaced and repeated in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to enter without an edict, and those who violate it will be beheaded!" ”

Qian Yun cried, pulled Ren Xiaoyao's sleeve and said sadly: "Husband, I must see my father for the last time." ”

Ren Xiaoyao's heart was furious, and the evil young man's temper suddenly raised his head, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu will step in from this door today, dare to stop me, you try, Lao Tzu will kill your whole family!" Mi'er, follow me! ”

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao pulled his legs and wanted to break in.

The adjutant general furrowed his eyebrows and shouted: "Forbidden army, be on guard!" ”

"Huh!" Countless spears were neatly laid flat, aimed at Ren Xiaoyao and Qian Yun.
