Unfortunately, no matter how good the plan was, someone had to be willing to cooperate with it. If Jiujiu was not willing, even if the Empress's plan was good, it was useless.
The Empress was anxious to find an identity for the child in her belly. She would find an identity for the child herself. However, it was not easy to find an identity for the child. If she was not willing, her child would not be born for three months.
When the wedding was held in three months, the Empress Dowager would be four months pregnant. When the pregnancy was announced, she would be five months pregnant. Even if Liu Yan 'er was pregnant as soon as she entered the palace, it was impossible for her to give birth in six months.
Even if the Empress was thick-skinned enough to let Liu Yan 'er give birth in six months, she had heard that a child born in six months would look exactly the same as a full-term child. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy about it.
The Empress wanted to substitute one child for another, but the two children had to be the same age. If they were not of the same age, it would be difficult.
However, Jiujiu did not have to worry about these things for the Empress, because the Empress had to worry about these things herself.
Because of Jiujiu's promise, the Empress went back and immediately asked her parents to arrange for Liu Yan 'er to enter the palace. However, when she just discussed with her mother about Liu Yan' er's marriage after Liu Yan 'er entered the palace, she learned that Jiujiu and Liu Yan' er's Eight Characters of Horoscope were not particularly suitable. If they got married in two months, there would be conflicts. So, the nearest date was two months later.
After hearing the news, the Empress's face turned pale instantly.
Two months later, she would be three months pregnant. When Liu Yan 'er's pregnancy was announced, it would be one month later. It was not important whether she could hide her belly or not. What was important was that the child in Liu Yan' er's belly could not be born prematurely.
It was reasonable to give birth to a healthy baby two months in advance, but it was unheard of to give birth to a healthy baby four months in advance.
The Empress did not expect that after she persuaded Jiujiu, the Imperial Astronomer would make such a mess.
Now that this matter had reached her ears, it must have reached Jiujiu as well. If she insisted on letting Jiujiu marry Liu Yan 'er, when Jiujiu suddenly died, neither Liu Yan' er nor her would be able to escape responsibility.
The Empress was so angry that her stomach began to hurt. However, because she was thinking about the future, she could only suppress the anger in her chest and let her mother go back to prepare the dowry for Liu Yan 'er.
Now that what was done could not be undone, the child in her belly naturally could not be substituted. But she was not willing to let the Empress Dowager use another child. After thinking about it, the Empress was still prepared to give birth to the child in her belly.
After all, children changed drastically with each passing day. After a long time, she could use her own child to replace the one she had brought over. If she said so, who would dare to say otherwise?
After making up her mind, the Empress no longer thought about anything else. She only thought about where to find a suitable male fetus.
She would give birth at a certain time, so Liu Yan 'er would definitely be born prematurely. Therefore, she must find a suitable male fetus.
The news that Jiujiu was going to get married and that he had asked the Imperial Astronomer to calculate the time spread like the speed of light. Within a few days, the people of the Great Han Dynasty knew that the Emperor was going to get married.
A man dressed in coarse cloth sitting in the corner of the teahouse heard the news and his hand that was wiping his sword froze. A trace of dullness flashed across his face. He didn't even bother wiping his sword and walked directly to the large man who was spreading the news with spittle flying everywhere. He opened his mouth and said, "Which family's daughter is the Emperor marrying?"
After the man finished speaking, he took out a small silver ingot from his pocket.
When the man asked the question, the man was a little unhappy. However, after seeing the silver ingot, his eyes instantly curved into two small crescents. He hurriedly said, "Young master, it is the second daughter of the Empress Dowager's mother, the Liu family. I heard that the second daughter of the Liu family is as beautiful as a flower and has a good temperament. Most importantly, they are cousins and they happen to be a pair …"
The man could not hear what the man said next. In his mind, there was only the words "cousins" and "a pair made in heaven."
The man walked back to his original seat with lonely steps. He picked up the sword that he had just thrown aside. His hands trembled. After a while, he stepped into the guest room upstairs.
The moment he walked into the guest room, the originally expressionless man's eyes instantly turned red. His eyes even emitted a little bit of light. Because he was too sad, the man's lips also trembled.
The man was Mo Ling.
After leaving the palace that day, Mo Ling did not return to the mountain as usual. Instead, he disguised himself and walked all the way to the Mo Bei.
Now, he was almost at the Mo Bei. However, he still could not escape the news of Jiujiu.
Mo Ling thought that after experiencing the news of Jiujiu and Heye being together, his heart would not hurt when he heard the news of Jiujiu. However, when he heard that Jiujiu was about to get married, he still could not control his sadness.
Jiujiu was a man, and a man above everyone else. His life should be marrying and having children. However, for some reason, Mo Ling especially hoped and even hoped that Jiujiu could belong to him alone.
He did not know how long he had been standing at the door. The long sword in his hand had fallen to the ground. Mo Ling picked it up almost numbly. He wanted to lie down on the bed and rest, but he could not help but think of Jiujiu. He thought of Liu Yan 'er who was about to marry Jiujiu.
Mo Ling wanted to calm himself down. However, he found that he could not do it at all.
After a long time, Mo Ling still could not resist the urge to see Jiujiu. He opened the door, got on the horse and rushed to the capital again.
It took Mo Ling more than half a year to travel from the capital to the Mo Bei. However, it only took him more than ten days to travel from the Mo Bei to the capital.
When he arrived at the capital, Mo Ling wanted to go directly to the palace to ask Jiujiu if he really wanted to marry Liu Yan 'er. However, he lost his courage in the end.
Mo Ling found a random inn in the capital to stay. He planned to find time to see Jiujiu.
The moment Mo Ling arrived at the capital, Jiujiu felt Mo Ling's breath.
Jiujiu wanted to wait for Mo Ling to come to her directly. However, after waiting for more than a month, Mo Ling still did not come. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Xiao Mozi to put up a notice saying that the Emperor was seriously ill. If there was a doctor who could cure the Emperor, he would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and thousands of acres of land.
A few days after Jiujiu put up the notice, countless doctors went to see the Emperor excitedly every day. However, at night, some of them were thrown out.
For more than half a month, they still could not find a doctor who could cure the Emperor.
The news of the Emperor's serious illness spread like wildfire. Mo Ling, who originally wanted to wait, couldn't wait any longer. She changed into a new set of clothes and used the powder to change her appearance. Then, she took down the Imperial Ranking Board.
For half a month, many people had come to see the Imperial Ranking List, but not many of them were really good. Many of them just wanted to try their luck. As time went by, fewer and fewer people came to see the Imperial Ranking List. Mo Ling was the first one to see the Imperial Ranking List.
