She smiled mysteriously, but it made Xia Pei's brows tighten, and she hesitated for a long time before asking, "Yi'er, should I do something?"

"You can't hide anything from Your Majesty!"

She blinked, smiled slyly and darkly, and then attached it, whispered something in his ear, and turned to ask, "Your Majesty will agree to this?"

"What you said is indeed beneficial, but Yi'er ......" he scratched his head, "Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to summon me like this?"

She grinned, "Why don't you ask Your Majesty for advice?"

He glared at her, and finally waved his hand in frustration, "Forget it, whatever you want, I can do it."

She curled her eyes in satisfaction, "Then the concubine will thank Your Majesty first."

Outside, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and inside the hall, it was warm and warm.

Xia Pei pillowed her thighs affectionately, enjoying the rare tranquility and sweetness at this moment. She also reached out and patted her chest gently, and both of them were very comfortable.

Within an hour, the comfort of the two of them was disturbed by the sudden appearance of Shadow Rain, but seeing her holding a tray and a bowl of decoction, she timidly walked to the head of the hall and presented the decoction.

"It's time for the queen to drink the medicine!" She cautioned.

But Xia Peixian couldn't sit still, so he quickly turned over, stared at the black bowl of medicine, and frowned, "Smell, it doesn't look like a medicine for wind and cold......

Lu Zhaoyi ignored him, picked up the medicine bowl by himself, raised his head and drank it all.

When she put down the bowl, Ying Yu trembled and handed over the handkerchief again, wiped the corners of her lips for her, saw that the emperor was still so confused, and looked at Lu Zhaoyi again, as if she wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't say it after all.

However, Xia Pei found a clue and asked her with a calm face, "Shadow Rain, tell me honestly, what's wrong with the queen?" Is there something you haven't said?"

Lu Zhaoyi's expression was still indifferent, and after drinking the medicine, he licked the remaining medicinal juice on his lips, and responded indifferently, "Okay." Your Majesty, don't force the shadow rain. Isn't it just that I'm pregnant!"

"Pregnant?"

He didn't react at first, and it wasn't until he whispered it that he looked up in shock.

"Yi'er, you ......"

"Well, that's right!" She rushed ahead of him and said, "Your Majesty is busy these days, but a few days ago, several cousins and aunts from the clan came, and the chamberlain calculated that it was probably in the cave room on the night of your and my wedding......

Speaking of this, Lu Zhaoyi turned his head to look at Xia Pei, who was still in a daze, and finally couldn't hold back and sneered.

"Your Majesty, are you stupid?"

Xia Pei reacted at this time, and subconsciously confirmed it again.

"Is Yi'er really pregnant?"

Lu Zhaoyi shrugged and nodded, looking lazy, "That's right!"

When he received such an affirmative answer, his eyes widened, and for a moment, a kind of joy came to him. But soon, he straightened his face again and told her seriously.

"From today onwards, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the government, let alone act recklessly, you know? I will immediately call the Imperial Physician to enter the palace, you sit down."

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't cry or laugh.

"Your Majesty......"

However, Xia Peiye had already rushed out and turned his back to her, so that he could not see clearly the overjoyed look on his face, and instead, before and after he started to work in the palace, he was afraid that others would not know that the queen was pregnant.

Subsequently, the imperial physician order, the female doctor, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were all called into the Zhaoyang Palace, eager to offer the queen.

This battle is like a battle to mobilize the people.

Lu Zhaoyi was helpless, but he found it interesting.

"Your Majesty......"

She shouted tentatively, only to see him stop and turn his head to look at her.

"Huh?"

There was a strange glint in his eyes, "Yi'er, do you think our children are better boys or girls?"

Lu Zhaoyi choked.

"I know Your Majesty is happy, but this is too public, and I am afraid that it will cause it

Unnecessary trouble......" wordless dissuasion.

Although she is also looking forward to this child, after all, this is her and his first child. However, she didn't want to let her peaceful life be broken or even chaotic because of such a child.

Especially now, in an eventful time, he still needs to stabilize the DPRK and reassure the people.

Unexpectedly, Xia Pei laughed, his eyebrows fluttering.

"Don't worry, I will handle the affairs of the court, and you can raise the fetus with peace of mind. I have given a death order, and if anyone in this palace does not take good care of you, I will never bypass him."

She was stunned.

Such a tough attitude seems a bit arrogant.

But it is undeniable that after hearing his promise, Lu Zhaoyi's mood became inexplicably happy.

"Since Your Majesty has decided, then I naturally don't have to worry about it."

Xia Pei touched her soft belly and said happily, "She is worthy of being my queen, she is really smart and smart."

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty has praised you!"

In the palace, the emperor and queen are in love, but on the other side, there is an undercurrent.

Qinyu Pavilion and Fengmanlou got the news of the border pass at the same time, and the Xianbei Murong Department, together with the Yuwen Department, Dongning and Hu Wan, will prepare to tackle key problems in a month.

And this time, except for the Tuoba Department, which had previously signed a peace negotiation agreement, the rest of them all poured out.

Murong Khan, Murong Ahutuo changed his name to Murong Gui, established himself as the State of Yan, and proclaimed himself King of Yan, intending to attack the Great Wall and obtain the land of the Central Plains.

After the matter was quickly conveyed to the palace by the spy network, Xia Pei hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, now that Beiyi is about to move, the Murong Ministry, the Yuwen Ministry, and Dongning Hu Wan all have the heart to watch, if the Murong Ministry's first attack on the border pass, it will definitely be able to threaten the land of Gyeonggi. At that time, the four directions will gather, and the situation will be unfavorable for my great abyss!"

Xia Pei sat on the dragon throne with a grim expression, "You think I don't understand? How could I not know? However, if the ambitions of the wolf sons of the Murong tribe are allowed to capture the border passes, there will be endless troubles in the future."

"Besides......" Z.br>

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Once Murong Gui attacks the Great Wall, the land of Hebei will be a great threat to Luojing. Therefore, on behalf of the county, we must not lose our ......."

Hearing this, the ministers exchanged heads and ears.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but it's just ......" Du Yan, the right prime minister, stood up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Murong Gui has been planning this time for a long time. It is reported that this battle must be treated with caution, otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the entire Great Abyss will be in danger!"

"What the prime minister said is not unreasonable." Xia Yuanhong, who was among the generals on the other side, also said, "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult it is, we are willing to help Your Majesty!" I only hope that Your Majesty can take care of the dragon's body, and you must not underestimate the enemy!"

Xia Pei was silent for a moment, looking at the harmony between the DPRK and China, and then bowed his head, "Don't worry, Zhuqing, I know it in my heart."

His eyes were scorching, and his sharp spirit was fierce, "Murong is a wolf, how can I not guard against it?"

At this time, in the Taiji Palace, the ministers who had ridiculed Lu Zhaoyi many times in the court actually stood up one after another, and said earnestly to Xia Pei: "Please also ask Your Majesty, let Her Royal Highness the Queen come forward, the queen is the prince of Zhenguo, Gou Chenzi, resourceful, strategic, and can still be compared with the fifth Langya, if there is a queen sitting in the court, there is a great hope of winning this crisis!"

Xia Pei squinted his eyes and looked at the ministers with white beards, and couldn't help but sneer, even the other courtiers could see it.

Those who say such things must be greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Your Majesty......"

Xia Yuanhong spoke up again, but saw Xia Pei wave his hand and stopped him from continuing.

"You don't need to mention this again. The queen is now pregnant with Liujia, how can she show her head? Besides, even if the queen is willing, I ......

After a pause, he looked at the people below, "I don't want the queen to sacrifice herself for the country."

These words were loud and loud, and one sentence blocked everyone's back road, making it difficult for people to refute.

Half an hour later, there was a commotion outside the Taiji Palace, and immediately, the guards shouted, "Lingwu Marquis and Taiwei Fifth Lang."

The fifth spirit of the prince of Lingwu, please see Your Majesty!"

The crowd was amazed.

The fifth Langya held a fan, carried his son and the fifth Lingsi, strode into the Taiji Hall with his head held high, and said loudly: "The fifth Langya, the fifth minister, was ordered by the queen to enter the court to discuss politics, and brought his son and the queen's apprentice Lingsi to meet Your Majesty."

As soon as they heard this, the courtiers in the main hall immediately panicked.

"What, Empress Yizhi?"

The fifth Langya bowed, "Exactly."

He raised his hand and motioned for his son to step forward, "Lingsi, quickly, knock on Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty!"

The fifth Lingsi fell to his knees and kowtowed three times in a proper manner.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Master has an order, instructing the apprentice to pass on the message of deliberation for the Master and his father for at least one year in the future, please ask Your Majesty's permission!"

His voice was crisp and his words were sonorous and powerful.

Looking at the fifth Lingsi, a teenager, the ministers looked at each other, and even Xia Pei himself was speechless in shock.

When did Lu Zhaoyi accept his apprentice? Or the son of the fifth Langya!

"Your Majesty......" Wei Wei Song Yuanzhi frowned and stood up, "The minister thinks that it is really inappropriate for the prince of Lingwu to enter the Zhaoyang Palace, please take back your Majesty's fate!"

Above the main hall, Wei Meng and Du Yu exchanged glances, and the two people who had led Yongzhou Wei and joined Lu Zhaoyi's array since Guanzhong were suddenly unhappy.

Wei Meng stood up and choked, "Captain Song's words are wrong. Many people in Beijing know that the prince of Lingwu often went in and out of the Yongpingli mansion and was taught by the queen, so why is it inappropriate?"

After he said this, Du Yu also echoed, "As the saying goes, the name of master and apprentice is no different from father and son. What's more, the prince of Lingwu Marquis has witnessed it, is it possible that the queen will not be able to live with his mother when she gives birth to a prince in the future?"

Du Yu's words can be described as extremely heart-wrenching.

As soon as these words fell, the ministers began to whisper again.

"Du Siye's words are wrong, the queen's honor, if there is any collusion with the son of the courtier, wouldn't it tell the world that the Marquis of Lingwu has the intention of rebellion, intending to collude with the queen and seek to seize the world?"

"What's more, although the son of the world is not yet an adult, he is also a man, what kind of system does a man become when he enters the harem?"

Xia Pei took a deep breath and hurriedly stopped the quarrel in the main hall, "You guys don't say a few words!"

He turned his face and asked Fifth Langya, "What is the Captain's plan, though!"

Between the waves, this kind of roughness shows a faint Confucian atmosphere, which from time to time attracts the courtiers to look sideways, as if touched.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister came with his son today, and he is prepared to deal with all crises. At present, the border is in an emergency, and the people of the government and the opposition are in turmoil, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, the ministers are willing to contribute to the great abyss."

"Even if it's for me to betray the old master...... the last sentence was something he muttered to himself.

Xia Pei listened to it in his ears, and his eyes darkened.

In this short gap when no one spoke, the Fifth Spirit suddenly raised his head and bowed to the emperor's throne, "Back to Your Majesty! Master didn't let Lingsi enter the Zhaoyang Hall at all, but just asked me to exchange letters with Sister Yingyu outside Zhuhua's gate.

Zhuhua Gate is the boundary between Taiji Hall and Zhaoyang Palace.

After that, he handed the note already written in his sleeve to Xia Pei, "This secret letter was handed over to me when Master ordered someone to pass on the decree, and Master said that Your Majesty will show it to the ministers as soon as he gets it......

Xia Pei unfolded the letter paper and read it carefully.

Soon, his pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes shone brightly.
