Two months later, the news of Yunru's pregnancy spread throughout the harem, and Helian Yan looked at the imperial doctor's smile and was shocked.

There was no joy on the young emperor's face, only surprise and confusion. The woman lying on the bed was extremely worried when she saw him like this, and she didn't even dare to show a smile.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange for a while, and the imperial doctor's smile froze on his face, and he didn't know whether to accept or let go.

"Go and find Lu Zheng...... I have something to consult with him. After saying that, he felt that his words were too strange, Helian Yan said to Yunru, "You have a good rest, and I will come to see you after I am busy with government affairs." ”

The man almost ran away, his mind went blank, he had lived for almost twenty years, and he had never been so ..... Embarrassed.

Helian Yan could only think of this word, and he felt embarrassed.

When Lu Zheng arrived, what he saw was a man who was holding his forehead and sighing, without the joy of being a father for the first time, nor the ruthlessness of his usual days.

"Your Majesty....." bowed, Lu Zheng didn't know what he was going to do when he called him at this time.

"Yunru is pregnant....." he struggled to bite out the words between his teeth, he really didn't know what to do with him, "What now?" ”

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, and repeated, "How?" What does Your Majesty want? ”

"I'm asking you!" A little displeased, this person is usually very smart, but now he is pretending to be stupid.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has an heir, so she was naturally born, doesn't Your Majesty want this child?" Lu Zheng said this, and suddenly felt a little worried, "Your Majesty, it has been some time since you ascended the throne, but you have always had a thin heir, and those old ministers always talk about this, and they keep stuffing people into the harem, so they send the imperial doctor to personally diagnose and treat you, and now you have a child, Your Majesty should be happy." ”

"But I don't know what I want this child for..."Helian Yan felt that women were troublesome, and children were even more troublesome, he had so many things to deal with every day, and he really couldn't be distracted to take care of another child.

"Succession to the throne, of course!" Lu Zheng sometimes really didn't understand what was going on in his head, so he forced his anger and continued, "As long as you can grow up safely, then Your Majesty will have a candidate to succeed you. ”

sneered, Helian Yan didn't care about anything, all he wanted was for his beloved not to be bullied, and now this wish was shattered with Shen Mu's "death".

"What do I want to do with this country, whether I can stay until that time is not necessarily ....." waved his hand, he knew that Lu Zheng would have a lot of words waiting for him at this time, what Li people, what ancestral inheritance, and his sister Yinchan, if the country is gone or he insists on going his own way and loses the hearts of the people, these will all suffer.

"But this child is Yunru's, and her sister is our place in the north...... Forget it, it's a big deal to go to the mother and keep the child. ”

"Your Majesty...."Lu Zheng interrupted him, and after a pause, he continued, "How difficult it is for a child to be alone in the palace, Your Majesty doesn't know it, haven't you forgotten how you survived those days, even if there is only one child in the palace in the future, it is so difficult that no one will bully him, having a mother by his side is always different." ”

As if he had fallen into some kind of memory, Helian Yan took a long time to recover, touched the dragon chair and said with a wry smile, "Not every mother can take care of her children, I heard from the palace people that Yunru doesn't like her mother very much." ”

"Just because I don't like my mother, I will try my best not to be that kind of person, Your Majesty may think that I am partial to their sisters, but Your Majesty looks at the harem, who else is more suitable to be the mother of your child than Yun Yao, she has no background, but she is just a hostage, no support from relatives, and no messy thoughts, she loves Your Majesty wholeheartedly, even if she has a child, she will love it well, and she will not cause trouble."

"If Your Majesty thinks the child is troublesome, let her take care of it for you."

After thinking for a long time, Helian Yan finally nodded, "Ah Zheng, I know you want to be peaceful and prosperous, but how Xiliang is, the key depends on whether the people you cultivate can do things well, if it is done, I will listen to you for everything, if not, no one can stop me." ”

Lowering his head, Lu Zheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't rush too hard, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, give her some time, and the minister believes that she will do a good job." ”

After withdrawing from the hall, Lu Zheng realized that he was sweating all over, and he was like a tiger, even if he was a childhood friend. took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and the little guy next to him stepped forward and asked, "Master, shall we go back to the house?" ”

Shaking his head, Lu Zheng said, "Let's go see the concubine." ”

He is a foreign minister, and it is not convenient to enter and exit the palace, but fortunately, Helian Yan trusts him very much, and he doesn't care about the women in the palace, so he never fortifies Lu Zheng.

The man observed etiquette and came to see Yunru in the name of asking for peace, and the two were separated by a palace wall, one on the porch outside the window, and the other in the garden inside the window.

"Congratulations to the concubine Niangniang, congratulations to the concubine Niangniang on being pregnant with a dragon heir."

"Thank you, sir." Yunru didn't dare to say much to him, because of her sister's letter, she didn't trust Lu Zheng very much.

Lu Zheng was very careful, the people around Yunru used to be from his house, so as soon as he arrived here, he asked people to keep an eye on the outside, and he didn't worry about the ears on the wall. But he still looked around, and saw that the little guy next to him took a few steps back in understanding, and then approached the window and said, "Your Majesty values this child very much, Niangniang must protect herself, give birth to a child well, raise an adult, whether male or female, remember, he is not only the hope of Xiliang, but also the hope of you and your sister." ”

Xiliang is not confined to the throne to pass on to men or women, they have also had queens before, so as long as Yunru can give birth to the child.

Hearing him say this, Yunru was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

"The better you live in this palace, the better your sister will be, although you two sisters are thousands of miles apart, they rely on each other, even if one day she does something wrong in the northern country, if you have a child by your side, those old ministers would rather offend Your Majesty, and they will stand on your side, try their best to persuade the king of the northern kingdom not to raise troops, so, this child must be good."

Lu Zheng wasn't sure if Yun Yao could succeed, but no matter what, he couldn't put his hope on her alone, if the matter was revealed, the Northern Kingdom Monarch would be furious with thunder, and the border battle would start, he would always have to win over some courtiers and find some way out.

And Yunru's child is his biggest bargaining chip, with this bargaining chip, even if Helian Yan is forced into the palace, Lu Zheng can keep him safe.

Even if the person who forced the palace may be himself, loyalty and righteousness can be both, if he is someone else, what will happen to Helian Yan, he doesn't dare to think, what will happen to him, he doesn't dare to think about it.
