Jiujiu's cheeks were a little hot. She pulled her hand out of Zhou Haiqing's grasp and lowered her head. "It's fine. By the way, have you thought about how to …"
"We'll talk about it later." To be honest, Zhou Haiqing really didn't take the Crown Prince seriously. In his opinion, the Crown Prince was just a person with a few tricks. In the face of true strength, all tricks were in vain.
After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Xue Bitao was naturally the Empress. Because she was about to give birth, the coronation ceremony couldn't be held. However, the Crown Prince had already made up his mind. Because the child in Xue Bitao's belly was likely to be the last child in his life, he naturally couldn't kill his child for Jiujiu. Therefore, he already had the idea of killing the mother and keeping the child.
After all, after the last Chinese medicine, Xue Bitao's health was deteriorating day by day. If something happened then, it would be just right.
The Crown Prince's abacus was crackling.
A few months before the ascension, the Crown Prince was stabilizing the people's hearts. Just as he was about to take care of everything, Xue Bitao was about to give birth.
Xue Bitao went into labor one evening.
Giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell. Xue Bitao's body was weak because she had almost miscarried, and giving birth to a child was even more difficult. After struggling for a day and a night, she finally gave birth to a pair of twins the next evening.
Dragons and phoenixes were auspicious. This was an auspicious sign. The Crown Prince originally wanted to kill Xue Bitao, but because of the arrival of the twins, he restrained himself from doing so.
Xue Bitao gave birth to the First Prince and First Princess in one go. The former Empress was now the Empress Dowager. She was so happy that she immediately gave her personal nanny to Xue Bitao to take good care of her.
When the First Madam, whose internal affairs had been taken care of by Zhenyuan Hou, learned that Xue Bitao had given birth to twins, a gratified smile appeared on her wrinkled face. Not only did Bitao become the Empress, but she also gave birth to the First Prince and First Princess.
Now, the Eldest Prince was the only male descendant of His Highness. He was both the first wife and the eldest son. If there were no accidents, he would be the Crown Prince in the future. Bi Tao's good days were coming. The Eldest Madam was overjoyed. She didn't even take the Second Madam's difficulties to heart.
In First Madam's opinion, Second Madam was like a grasshopper after autumn. She wouldn't be able to jump around for long. Once her Bi Tao gave birth and recovered, she would see how Bi Tao would deal with Second Madam.
Second Madam scoffed at First Madam's idea.
Only Xue Bitao could support First Madam. If she wanted to support her, she would have done so when First Madam became the Crown Princess. There was no need to wait until now. Moreover, she didn't even come to greet the Old Ancestor's birthday. How could she still remember First Madam? It was ridiculous.
Second Madam sneered. She wasn't the one who said this, but this First Madam was not only blind, but also mentally blind.
Xue Bitao clearly didn't care about their old friendship, but First Madam couldn't see past her and thought that Xue Bitao would help her. She was really pitiful and hateful.
Soon, the twins were one month old.
As Xue Bitao's younger sister, Jiujiu had to attend.
The present was prepared by Zhou Haiqing.
Soon, the twins were carried out.
The Crown Prince wasn't ugly to begin with, and Xue Bitao's appearance was especially outstanding. Although the twins still had baby fat on their faces, they were much better looking than ordinary children. Especially those beautiful, big, black eyes. When they looked at you, they could melt your heart.
Jiujiu had children before, so she naturally liked them very much.
Because Jiujiu was Xue Bitao's younger sister, she could still hold the children. Looking down at those innocent eyes, Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that these two children had Xue Bitao and the Crown Prince as their biological parents. She was afraid that their lives wouldn't be particularly good in the future.
Handing the children to the palace maid who came to take care of them, Jiujiu turned to leave. Just as she walked out, she met the Crown Prince, oh, now the Emperor.
Probably because he knew that he couldn't get it up, the Crown Prince's expression was especially gloomy. When he saw Jiujiu, a trace of harshness flashed through his eyes. But a moment later, it became gentle. He said in a gentle voice: "Yu 'er, why did you come out?"
Jiujiu quickly knelt down to salute.
The Crown Prince raised his hand to dismiss the salute and continued to ask: "Was the child too noisy?"
Jiujiu shook her head: "The child is very cute. It was a bit stuffy inside, so I came out."
Hearing that it wasn't because the child was too noisy, the harshness in the Crown Prince's eyes dissipated. But his tightly pursed lips showed that he wasn't in a good mood.
Zhou Haiqing, who had been standing to the side waiting for Jiujiu to come out, saw the Crown Prince staring at Jiujiu without blinking. He immediately stepped forward: "Furen."
Hearing Zhou Haiqing's voice, Jiujiu immediately let out a long sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Haiqing. She softly said: "Husband, you've come."
Zhou Haiqing saluted: "This humble subject greets Your Majesty."
It wasn't easy for him to have some time alone with Jiujiu, but before the two could say more than a few words, Zhou Haiqing ran over. The Crown Prince's originally ugly expression became even gloomier. He pursed his lips and waved his hand: "No need for formalities, you may rise."
Zhou Haiqing rose and looked at Jiujiu's slightly pale face. He softly said: "Why is Furen's face so pale? Are you not feeling well?"
Jiujiu took advantage of the situation and quickly replied: "I'm a bit dizzy. Maybe it's a heat stroke."
Jiujiu had just casually found an excuse. Who knew that as soon as the words left her mouth, her stomach would suddenly churn. She was so disgusted that she covered her mouth and began to retch.
Zhou Haiqing was stunned and immediately rushed to Jiujiu. He happily hugged Jiujiu: "Furen, are you pregnant?"
The two of them had just slept together a month ago. Calculating the days, it should be around that time.
Jiujiu was stunned. Thinking that her period had come for no reason, she was instantly stunned. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Haiqing in a daze.
The joy in Zhou Haiqing's eyes was not fake. He firmly held Jiujiu in his arms with one hand and cupped his hands to the Crown Prince: "This humble subject has lost his composure. I hope Your Majesty will forgive this humble subject."
The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Haiqing with eyes that could spit fire. He had always wanted to have Jiujiu. Now, Jiujiu was pregnant with Zhou Haiqing's child. Even though Jiujiu was Zhou Haiqing's legal wife, in the Crown Prince's heart, the fact that Jiujiu was pregnant with Zhou Haiqing's child was tantamount to cheating on him.
The Crown Prince suppressed the anger in his chest and lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. He coldly said: "It's nothing."
Right now, he had nothing to do with Jiujiu. Other than nothing, what else could he say?
Zhou Haiqing immediately bid farewell to the Crown Prince and found an imperial physician to treat Jiujiu. The imperial physician who took Jiujiu's pulse was an expert in gynecology. In almost an instant, he found out that Jiujiu was pregnant. Even though it was still early in the pregnancy, he could still feel it.
Zhou Haiqing was almost crazy with joy.
