The emperor's concubine fornicated with a foreign man and was pregnant, which was a big scandal for the royal family, and the news naturally had to be blocked.

Everyone present kept their mouths shut, lest they get into trouble.

"It's so late, and the old general Duan ran into the palace again." Zhou Ziyu looked at Old General Duan and Second Master Duan with a gentle face, and then said, "Zhang Yu, you must personally send Old General Duan back to the house." ”

There is such a daughter in the family, Duan Fu has not been implicated, it is already a great gift, and the second master Duan is no longer caring about Duan Nianyun, and he is about to leave with the arm of General Duan.

Before leaving, Old General Duan glanced at Duan Nianyun who was kneeling on the ground, and his old eyes became a lot cloudy.

Overnight, Yun Guifei, who was pregnant and pampered, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the door of Duan's mansion was closed, and no one spoke.

The ministers in the court, seeing this situation, although they had doubts in their hearts, they all kept their mouths shut, not wanting to be implicated for no reason.

Zhou Ziqin went crazy the night he was secretly detained. No matter how big the crime he committed, he is the royal heir after all. In order to save the royal face, no outsiders knew about Zhou Ziqin's arrest, and after Zhou Ziyu went to see him, he only ordered someone to take care of him. But Zhou Ziqin still didn't last long and died in prison. The three princes, who were so flamboyant in the past, passed away silently.

Empress Dowager Xiao was devastated by this incident and fell ill in bed. Since then, he has stopped stuffing people around Zhou Ziyu all day long, and his attitude towards Yan Lingyue has eased a lot.

Although Yan Lingyue didn't ask Zhou Ziyu in detail, she also guessed from Zhou Ziyu and Zhang Yu's words.

For a moment, the palace calmed down.

Zhou Ziyu was like before, and as soon as he finished the court, he returned to Ming Hanxuan to accompany Yan Lingyue and Zhou Ling'an. The days go by day after day, plain but also full of warmth.

Mr. Wang never stopped telling Yan Lingyue to prepare to add another brother and sister to Yan Ling'an.

Yan Lingyue was not in a hurry to have another child, but she couldn't withstand the repeated persuasion of the people around her, coupled with the persecution of Empress Dowager Xiao some time ago. If she really gives birth to a little prince again, it will also be a kind of protection for her.

Regarding the heir, although Zhou Ziyu has never put pressure on her, she is not unaware of the discussions in the court. Since everyone is looking forward to her being able to get pregnant and have children again, why should she repeatedly refuse. Thinking about it like this, when she faced Zhou Ziyu again that night, Yan Lingyue was a little more active than before.

Yan Lingyue's body is already good, and after becoming the queen, she was carefully nursed by the imperial dining room, but in two months, she was found to be pregnant by the imperial doctor.

For a time, the dynasty rejoiced. After all, there have been no happy events in the palace for a long time. Even Empress Dowager Xiao, who had been in retreat for a long time, stepped out of the room and came to Ming Hanxuan to visit Yan Lingyue in person.

In addition to the previous dynasty, Zhou Ziyu couldn't wait to be by Yan Lingyue's side all the time.

However, Yan Lingyue's pregnancy again made the concubines who had been silent for a long time active again. Everyone was full of energy, and turned to Ming Hanxuan, wanting to show their faces in front of Zhou Ziyu by visiting Yan Lingyue.

Unfortunately, sometimes some things often backfire. In the face of so many concubines who were showy, Yan Lingyue didn't say anything, Zhou Ziyu lost his patience first, and directly gave an order, except for the first day of the new month in the future, the concubines don't need to come to Ming Hanxuan to ask for peace at other times.

In this way, Yan Lingyue was completely quiet.

When Yan Lingyue was three months pregnant, she once again received a letter from southern Xinjiang. Staring at the word Serin on the envelope, Yan Lingyue didn't react for a long time. I remember the last time I received news from Selin, it was when Zhou Ziyu was fighting outside, and I remember that at that time, Princess Selin went to the northwest in order to chase Duan Minghong. At that time, her mind was full of revenge, and she was pregnant, so she didn't care so much about Selin's affairs.

After Zhou Ziyu and Duan Minghong returned triumphantly, she subconsciously thought that Princess Selin had returned to southern Xinjiang. After such a long time, Yan Lingyue was really surprised to receive Selin's letter again.

As soon as Yan Lingyue finished reading the letter, Zhou Ziyu returned from the court. Seeing the letter from Selin in her hand, Zhou Ziyu smiled, "This Princess Selin is really uncontrollable, when she sent a message to Duan Minghong a few days ago, she specially asked Duan Minghong to tell me, let me not tell you the news that she came to Da Zhou, she wants to surprise you, and the result is good, she can't help but send the message first." ”

From Zhou Ziyu's mouth, Yan Lingyue learned that it was not smooth sailing in the northwest at that time. At that time, she sneaked to the northwest and got into the barracks. even went to the battlefield and sacrificed his life to block an arrow for Duan Minghong.

However, it was precisely because of this arrow that Duan Minghong faced up to Selin and re-examined the relationship between the two.

"Then Serin will come over this time......" Yan Lingyue looked at Zhou Ziyu.

Zhou Ziyu pinched Yan Lingyue's little face, "Of course I came to get married, and it was Duan Minghong who took the initiative to ask for marriage." ”

Yan Lingyue smiled when she heard this. Selin's infatuation with Duan Minghong, she sees it all in her eyes, no matter how many setbacks she has experienced halfway, now she has got what she wanted.

For Selin's granddaughter-in-law, General Duan was very satisfied. Before the guard of honor in southern Xinjiang arrived at the imperial city, the Duan Mansion had already prepared for welcoming relatives and had completed the arrangement.

Selin has always been very arrogant, and he didn't know how to be shy, and he didn't think about avoiding it, so he went to find Duan Minghong on the day he came to Beijing, and the two entered the palace together.

Seeing Princess Selin holding Duan Minghong's arm and smiling happily, Yan Lingyue was also happy for the two of them from the bottom of her heart.

The wedding date was scheduled for early October, and at that time, Yan Lingyue was already five months pregnant, but she still attended the wedding of the two in person.

Not long after Princess Selin and Duan Minghong got married, Zhou Ziyu also booked a family affair for Zhou Xiangjun. Hearing this, Yan Lingyue did not express any opinions, nor did she pay too much attention.

She and Zhou Xiangjun already have a general relationship, and she doesn't have the leisure to pay attention to how sad Zhou Xiangjun will be if Duan Minghong marries Princess Selin.

Nowadays, she only cares about the people she needs to care about.

Time flies, five months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yan Lingyue is also close to going into labor.

Since she had already given birth to a child, Yan Lingyue was not nervous, but Zhou Ziyu was uneasy. In addition, Wang Laoju and Empress Dowager Xiao were the most nervous. However, the two of them were not nervous about Yan Lingyue's body, but nervous about whether Yan Lingyue could give birth to a prince.

On the night before giving birth, Yan Lingyue lay in Zhou Ziyu's arms and said in a low voice, "Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at my belly, discussing whether I can give birth to the eldest prince for Da Zhou......"

Without waiting for Yan Lingyue to finish speaking, Zhou Ziyu covered her mouth, "As long as it is born by Yue'er, whether it is male or female, it is my treasure." ”

Heaven did favor Yan Lingyue, and at noon the next day, she gave birth to a prince for Zhou Ziyu and the eldest prince for Da Zhou.

Empress Dowager Xiao hugged her eldest grandson, who had been thinking about her day and night, and her mouth was almost closed when she smiled. Zhou Ziyu directly granted amnesty to the world and gave the name Zhou Cheng'an.

Wang Laoju, who was far away outside the palace, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the report from his subordinates and learned that Yan Lingyue had given birth to a boy.

In the first few months of the birth of the eldest prince, the Manchu civil and military were still immersed in joy, but as the days passed, some people were restless.

When there is no eldest prince, everyone often persuades Zhou Ziyu to get rain and dew on the grounds that there is no imperial heir. Now that Yan Lingyue has given birth to the eldest prince, the troubled ministers have begun to persuade Zhou Ziyu to be wet with rain and dew on the grounds that the heirs are thin.

Zhou Ziyu was annoyed by some old ministers in the previous court, and then he suffered from drought and flood in the south, Zhou Ziyu worked hard and didn't sleep for two days, and then he collapsed!

The saint who had always been in good health today fell ill.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Ziyu couldn't afford to get sick.

All the imperial doctors surrounded Ming Hanxuan, looking at Zhou Ziyu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and weak energy, and was helpless.

After Empress Dowager Xiao learned the news, she couldn't care about her little emperor and grandson, and she was furious on the spot.

"Who, didn't you say a few days ago that the emperor was just overworked, and occasionally felt cold, so he would be fine by taking a few pills? So what's going on now?! Who can tell the mourners what the situation is! ”

The doctors looked at each other and knelt on the ground.

"The emperor has always been in good health, and there is nothing to do with the routine inspection every month......

"So what's going on now? How can a simple wind chill be so severe? Empress Dowager Xiao dropped a cup casually. The noise made scared Xiao Chengan and woke up Zhou Ziyu, who was half asleep on the bed.

"Ahem......" As soon as Zhou Ziyu moved, Yan Lingyue handed Zhou Chengan to Mama Li, came to the bedside, and held Zhou Ziyu's hand.

Zhou Ziyu smiled at Yan Lingyue and looked at Empress Dowager Xiao, "Don't be angry, if the imperial doctors really have a way, they will naturally seek medical treatment." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Zhou Ziyu, no matter how angry she was, she could only choke in her heart.

"Let's go down the doctors, let's go back to rest after the queen mother, Erchen wants to be quiet," Zhou Ziyu said and coughed heavily again.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao dared to say anything, and immediately let everyone out. Even Zhou Chengan was taken out by Mama Li.

The door was closed, and the room was quiet, with Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue staring at each other. Looking at it, Yan Lingyue, who had endured it for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not fine?" Zhou Ziyu smiled, raised his hand to help Yan Lingyue wipe away his tears, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm.

When Yan Lingyue saw this scene, she cried even more sadly.

"In the end...... What the hell is going on? How did the body become like this for no reason? Yan Lingyue sobbed.
