On the other side, the Emperor also received a strange letter.
It would have been better if he hadn't read it. When he opened it, the contents made him so angry that he smashed everything he could in his rage.
Liu She's daughter is actually the daughter of Wang Huiyun and Prince Changshou.
A wave of anger from being deceived welled up in his heart. No wonder … no wonder …
The Emperor was furious. He pulled out the knife from the rack and rushed to Huijun's palace angrily.
He could accept that woman giving birth to anyone's child, but he couldn't accept her mixing with his own brother.
He still felt guilty for allowing Prince Changshou to develop his power all these years. He didn't expect this to be a planned trap.
This couple had long been together, and even produced Liu Huan, the bastard.
The palace servants saw the Emperor holding a knife and rushing to Huijun's palace angrily. They immediately gloated.
The concubines who received the news secretly guessed that Huijun had an affair and was discovered by the Emperor?
"I think she's just a vixen. It's normal for her to have an affair because she can't stand the loneliness."
"When the Emperor completely dislikes her, I'd like to see how she can still be so stubborn! Hmph! "
"Look at the Emperor, he looks like he's going to kill someone. I hope she dies with an intact corpse …"
All kinds of rumors and guesses spread among the people.
Unfortunately, the actual development was too different from the picture in their minds.
Not only was Huijun not hacked to death by the Emperor's knife, she even protected Liu Huan, who was frightened by the Emperor's imposing manner, and stopped the furious Emperor. "Emperor, emperor … what are you doing? Do you really want to spread the news that you killed your daughter-in-law?"
The Emperor looked at Huijun's face and felt sorry for her kindness, but he was also angry at Liu Huan's existence. "Jun 'er, get out of my way."
How could Huijun be willing?
Liu Huan's child had not even been born yet. If she died now, how could they watch the drama that followed?
The medical officer who took Liu Huan's pulse was Huijun's person. No one knew better than her the condition of Liu Huan's child.
While the two were arguing, the frightened Liu Huan held her stomach with a pale face and wailed continuously.
Huijun was overjoyed, but she put on a sad face and said, "Even if the Fourth Princess Consort had a reason to die, the child in her womb is innocent. It is your grandson. Your Highness, I am also a woman who has the opportunity to be a mother … For my sake, please forgive the Fourth Princess Consort for the time being … "
With Huijun begging for mercy, the enraged Emperor could only swallow his anger and order people to send Liu Huan to the side hall to give birth.
Huijun heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward. She held Liu Huan's hand and whispered in her ear.
"If you want to live, you must give birth to this child. This is your last chance to turn things around."
Liu Huan's eyes shone with disbelief. She did not believe that Huijun would actually help her.
The two of them looked at each other. Liu Huan felt a throbbing pain in her stomach, causing her to have no energy to think about anything else.
Basin after basin of bright red water was carried out from the side hall. The Emperor's expression was gloomy, and Huijun was secretly prepared to watch a good show.
It was unknown whether it was because Liu Huan's body was good, or the effects of the Easy Pregnancy Pill. The birth seemed dangerous, but in less than two hours, two loud cries came from the side hall.
The Emperor had just relaxed when the terrified screams of the palace maids and midwives came from the side hall. There was even the sound of something falling to the ground. The Emperor frowned. He did not know what had happened inside. Why was there such a big commotion?
Huijun pinched her handkerchief and covered her mouth. She looked worried for Liu Huan, but in reality, she was gloating.
She looked worried as if she had been frightened. She held the Emperor's hand tightly.
The Emperor's anger had subsided a lot. He comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid."
"Demon …"
"There's a demon …"
Screams and shouts of "demon" came from the side hall. The people outside were angry and worried.
After a while, the midwife trembled as she carried a baby out. Her face was pale and bloodless.
"What demon?" Huijun did not wait for the Emperor to speak. She reprimanded the midwife. "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of an official?"
The midwife's whole body was trembling. Her hands were shaking even more violently.
Huijun stepped forward. Her expression was normal. "Let me take a look. An official's grandson is young …"
She lifted the baby's swaddle slightly. Instantly, her body stiffened and her face turned pale.
No matter how brave she was, she was still frightened when she saw this monster-like baby.
The Emperor saw her strange reaction and stepped forward. "Let me take a look."
Only then did the midwife hand the baby out in shock. Only then did everyone see the strangeness of the baby.
Two heads were squeezed together. One child had no upper lip, and the other had no nose …
They were clearly two children, but they only had one body. Not only that, the body had four legs and four arms. Eight legs were curled up in the swaddle … Everyone's scalp went numb and they broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
How was this a baby? It was clearly a monster.
The others screamed in fear. The Emperor's reaction was even more direct. His expression was extremely ferocious. He panted like an ox and grabbed the swaddle. Before anyone could react, he threw the sleeping baby to the ground, making a dull sound.
The two deformed babies did not even have time to scream. Blood was already seeping out of the ground.
Huijun's face was pale. Her eyelids fluttered, and she fell limply to the ground.
The Emperor was worried about Huijun. He hurriedly said, "Get rid of this demon." Then, he carried her away.
The Emperor had left, and no one was left to take charge of the situation. No one could shut up the insiders.
One could imagine that the news of the Fourth Princess Consort giving birth to a demon would spread throughout the palace in an instant. If someone deliberately manipulated it, it would even spread out of the palace.
The Second Princess Consort, An Yina, was also frightened. However, she soon revealed a malicious smile.
When Huijun, who had "fainted" from fear, woke up, the shocking news had already spread throughout the streets. The people were in a panic.
A demon baby had descended from the sky, and the disaster of war had arrived!
This was a warning from the heavens. The current Emperor had lost his virtue, so the royal family had given birth to a demon.
By the time the Emperor reacted, the news could no longer be hidden. It became more and more intense, and the rumors became more and more unpleasant. Under such circumstances, more and more aristocratic families surrendered to Prince Changshou. The Emperor's temper became more irritable day by day.
Fortunately, he had many hostages in his hands. Most aristocratic families did not dare to act rashly, so the situation in the capital was still stable.
When the Emperor was free, those who might have leaked the secret would be in trouble. They would either be secretly executed or locked up. Even the Second Princess Consort, An Yina, did not get any benefits. The Emperor ordered her to stay at home to reflect on herself and recite scriptures. She was not allowed to leave the residence without orders.
As for the Fourth Princess Consort, who had given birth to the demon baby, she had a massive postpartum hemorrhage and was forcibly killed.
