At the mention of this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help frowning, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Not yet."

"That guy, I insisted that it was Lu Lin who instructed him to send someone to assassinate me, and also said that Lu Lin had secretly taken refuge in Murong Gui a long time ago, secretly hid a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and secretly co-opted all forces in a vain attempt to usurp power and seize the throne......

"This ...... Shouldn't it be the truth?"

"Of course!"

She replied in the affirmative.

For now, I can only deal with the envoy of the Murong Ministry first, and delay as long as I can, and try to find out the truth that Murong Zan knows.

How to drag it in the end, she believes Xia Pei.

Since he dared to threaten Murong Gui with Murong Zan, there must be a way to delay the pace of Murong Zan's envoy to negotiate peace, and also allow her enough time for Murong Zan to reveal the truth.

Far away from the court and living in the harem, Lu Zhaoyi is just safe and steady every day, and the schedule is very simple, but Fan Xia Pei has important things to deal with, so he occasionally chats with Su Xiuniang and them to relieve their boredom.

More often, Xia Pei will push the political affairs to the left and right prime ministers, the fifth Taiwei, and the King of Han to deal with it on his behalf, so he has time to plant himself in the harem and accompany Lu Zhaoyi, who is waiting to give birth.

Time flies, and after more than two months, it is finally about to usher in the queen's production period.

Very early, Xia Pei counted the days, and ordered the Imperial Physician Department to prepare all the preparations in advance, waiting for the queen to give birth.

However, the real ushering in the production period was a suddenness that caught everyone off guard.

The reason was also that when he was reviewing and reviewing the music that day, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt a burst of pain, and then something that was expected in advance happened, but this sudden arrival really made everyone in the palace panic.

Lu Zhaoyi lay on the bed, covering his stomach with his hands, enduring the tearing pain.

Cold sweat was dripping on her forehead, her face was pale, and her whole body was curled up in the mattress, as if she was enduring great pain.

Xia Pei, who put down all political affairs, was crazy and felt Zhaoyang Palace, but he was stopped by his mother-in-law at the door, standing at the door in a hurry, full of anxiety.

There was chaos inside and outside the temple.

I don't know how long it took, with a baby's cry in the hall, Xia Pei's heart tightened, and he slowly relaxed, and when he was about to step into the hall, the palace maid guarding the door still stopped him, and the palace maid was still nervous.

Xia Pei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

It's just that......

Without waiting for half a cup of tea, another cry, accompanied by the sound from the front, echoed in the hall, and the female officials and palace maids who were in charge of delivering the babies in the entire hall fell to the ground.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Your Majesty! The queen gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses!"

The door of the palace opened, and the female official led all the female officials and palace maids to come out and salute Xia Pei, Xia Pei was stunned for a moment, and then she was very happy. Z.br>

He hurried into the temple.

As soon as he entered the palace, he heard the queen call him by his name weakly, "Your Majesty......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is me, everything is me." Xia Pei hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and comforted her softly, "It's really hard for you, I am very happy to give birth to a prince and a princess for me, and it is also my blessing!"

"Hmm......" she bowed her head weakly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is tired and wants to rest."

"Good! Good! Okay!" Xia Pei responded again and again, helped her lie down, and personally helped her cover the brocade, "I'm guarding you outside, sleep!"

"Your Majesty......" she called out to him, stretching out her slender jade hand over the back of his warm hand, "Concubine......

Before she finished speaking, her vision blurred, her eyes were so sour that she couldn't help but close her eyes and fall into a coma.

Xia Pei hurriedly held her cold hand, clinging to her chest, feeling very sad, "I'm here to accompany you, and I have something to call me."

In the dormitory, silence was restored.

When the woman lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes, on the edge of the bed, Xia Pei lay on her hand and fell asleep, holding her cold hand tightly with one hand and caressing the other

Her cheeks were slightly pale, and her eyebrows were full of pity.

Lu Zhaoyi moved his lips and shouted softly, "Xia Pei......"

Xia Pei woke up and saw that she was awake, so she hurriedly got up, her dark and deep eyes were bloodshot, and her handsome face was haggard and tired.

She smiled slightly, reached out and stroked his head, her heart moved.

"Your Majesty seems to have slept as soundly as you did for a long time."

He hurriedly took her hand and asked worriedly, "But what else does you feel uncomfortable?" I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor for you?"

"It's fine." Lu Zhaoyi shook his head slightly, "I'm fine, but I feel weak and a little tired."

"Yes! Having a baby is hard enough." Xia Pei stroked her slightly tired cheek and said pityingly, "You have a good rest, and when you have enough strength and your body is better, I will take you and the child out for a walk together, okay?"

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoyi responded obediently, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

With the birth of the queen prince and princess, it spread to the government and the opposition, and even the entire Luojing City, for a while, the people's hearts were excited, and they offered their blessings in various ways, praying for the princes and princesses to be blessed, saying that this is the heavens favoring the abyss.

The royal celebration is naturally indispensable, especially the two born to the queen, the little prince and the little princess.

However, in the spring of the fourth year of the Yin Dynasty, the war in the north was tense, and after many mediations with the envoys of the Murong Ministry, peace talks were still not promoted, but a month later, Xia Pei promised to release Murong Zan and return to the grassland, which would reopen the border war.

At the moment, he can only drag it hard, Murong Zan, the half-brother Murong Gyu cares about, as long as he is still in Dayuan for a day, the start of the war can be delayed for a day.

At this time, in the Zhaoyang Palace, Lu Zhaoyi sat beside the small bed in the side hall, and personally coaxed the two children who were still sleeping in swaddling clothes, with a happy and satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the past few months, she has never been happier than she is now.

Although the pain of childbirth almost cost her life, seeing them grow up healthy and happy made her feel worth it and willing to take a big risk.

"Your Majesty!"

The palace maid at the door was cautious, and softly saluted Xia Pei, who had just walked into the hall, and it reached Lu Zhaoyi's ears, she immediately turned her head and smiled brightly at him, like a flower blooming.

He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled dotingly, walked quickly to her, took her hand, and took her into his arms.

Xia Pei also raised a faint smile, approached, and sat down beside her, "Are you feeling better these days?"

"It's alright...... What about Your Majesty? I've seen you very busy these days, and often see you disappear before dawn." Lu Zhaoyi looked up at him, his eyes full of concern and worry.

Xia Pei raised his hand and rubbed the hair scattered on her shoulders, and his tender gaze was fixed on her quiet and serene face, "I'm not tired."

He patted her gently on the back and comforted, "I just want to end the war on the border as soon as possible, so that we can be in peace and the family will never have to be separated."

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoyi nodded, leaning on his arms, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.

"That's right!" She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "How did Your Majesty talk to the envoy of the Murong Ministry?" How much longer can we delay?"

He pursed his lips and slurred, "You can delay until May!"

"May?" Lu Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows, "That's fine. Then we have enough days to prepare for the next battle and not be too passive."

"That's right!" Xia Pei's gaze stayed on her, as if he had something to say, and he didn't know how to say it.

"What? What does Your Majesty have to explain?"

Xia Pei pondered for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while before raising his head, "Gu Man, it's fourteen this year."

When it comes to Gu Man, he is also a child who was once raised by Lu Zhaoyi, starting from the age of eight, it has been six years in the blink of an eye. Ten months ago, when she saw Gu Man for the last time, she was already a little adult.

But at this moment, he mentioned the child like this, and it made her heart

There was a pause.

"Little Man...... What happened?"

"No, no...... It was Gu Man, who made great contributions when he went to Jiangxia County with his cousin a few months ago to conquer the thieves of Suzaku Hall. This time, I was going to count the soldiers, and he took the initiative to find me and said that he would go with the army to the north to fight. I'll come to you and ask what you mean."

"Oh, this matter......" She lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she said slowly, "Since he wants to make a contribution, let him do it!" After all, men have ambitions in all directions, and sooner or later they need to be on their own."

She didn't think that this kid would have any dissenting intentions, after all, he was brought up by her, and she knew better than anyone else about his temperament, and knew that he didn't bother to do anything to hurt the emperor.

His eyes flickered with an unpredictable darkness, "Okay, I will make him a tiger general according to your wishes."

"It doesn't have to be. It is better to treat him as an ordinary soldier, so that he will not be pampered and proud in the future, and let him be like others, step by step, and rely on his own ability." Lu Zhaoyi said softly, "Besides, he's not bad......

"Okay, I can see you're nervous about him, I'll listen to you." Xia Pei replied with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty." She smiled gently.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, in the middle of spring, the grass and trees are full of flowers, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

On this day, the morning court is held once every ten days of the month, and the courtiers go to the court as usual, step by step, and when they come to the imperial garden and stand together, the emperor has not yet arrived, and a group of ministers talk to each other about things that have nothing to do with the government.

Which lady is getting married, which door valve has recently added a new child, or talking about these days, which family's banquet is good.

At the mention of this, a minister shouted from afar to another minister who was watching, "A few days ago, the marriage of the prince was done, right? Now, Marquis Gongyang, you and the queen's teacher Qu Fuzi are in-laws. Huh? I remember, Madame Shizi, I really have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Queen!"

The person called by the minister, Marquis Gongyang, and his son Pu Lan had just married Qu Zhiyun.

And Qu Zhiyun also led 30,000 Qingzhou troops back to Luojing a few months ago, and lived in the boudoir and has been preparing for marriage.

As soon as he talked about the queen, the ministers kept nagging, since Lu Zhaoyi was the queen for almost a year, there was no one in the court, I was afraid that I would stay in the harem like this.

They all think so.

However, at this moment, outside the Imperial Garden, the inner attendant Li Deshan shouted:

"Early dynasty, enlightenment, the emperor and queen are in the court, and the ministers worship!"

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers were dumbfounded.

Just now they were still discussing that the queen was only afraid that she would live in the harem forever and would not appear again.

But they clearly heard that the emperor and empress were approaching, and this did not seem to be a delusion.

Sure enough, not long after, Xia Pei led Lu Zhaoyi, slowly walked into the imperial garden from the outside, and appeared in the court hall in the shocked gaze of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

The left and right prime ministers Yuan Qi and Du Yan did not wait for the ministers to react, when the emperor and queen sat down on the court one after another, stood up one after another, and saluted the emperor and the queen to the emperor and queen, and shouted "Long live, thousand autumns", only after the mountain made the others come back to their senses in panic.
