Chapter 444 It’s Not Shameful to Cry Anyway

Tao Yanyan thought she was hallucinating because she was injured. She squeezed her thigh hard and felt pain, so she asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that I have a baby in my belly?"

I thought I would have to wait two years, but it happened so quickly?

No wonder I have been so sleepy and lack energy these days, always wanting to lie down, and liking to eat sour food. Sometimes I feel nauseous. It turns out I am pregnant!

He Linzhang looked at her tenderly: "It was my negligence that I did not send the imperial physician to greet you every day. Yanyan, we have a child, yours and mine! I am very happy."

Although Tao Yanyan couldn't accept becoming a mother so soon, she was happy now that the child was here.

"Then, take medicine?" Tao Yanyan couldn't help but worry.

Knowing what she meant, He Linzhang comforted her, "Don't worry, Doctor Liu said that the medicine he gave you will not harm the fetus. But you are not yet four months pregnant, so you have to be careful about everything."

Tao Yanyan nodded solemnly, and she was once again thankful that she had escaped the bullet today.

"Your Majesty, that weapon is too powerful. The debris it threw after it missed could have injured me so badly. It is really not appropriate to return it to Xia."

This kind of thing should either be kept by yourself or destroyed. It will be a disaster if it is leaked out.

He Linzhang said, "I'm afraid the Second Prince of Xia has already received the news. It's impossible to hide it. I'm thinking, why not just destroy it and make it unusable?"

Tao Yanyan said: "That's also a solution, but there are a few bullets inside. As long as the bullets are taken out, the weapon will be useless."

He Linzhang was very surprised that she knew all this: "Yan Yan, how do you know so much?"

Tao Yanyan couldn't explain it for a moment, so she could only say: "I saw that thing firing bullets, so I knew it. That thing is small, I don't think it can hold many bullets. Now I don't know if Xia Country has any extra bullets. If not, then just leave the bullets and give them an empty weapon, they can't use it."

He Linzhang's eyes darkened and he signaled the shadow guard to quickly find Qi Yizheng to remove the bullet and destroy it.

Tao Yanyan talked for a while, and then he realized that the anesthetic had worn off. His arm was in great pain, and he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that she was in great pain, He Linzhang immediately sent someone to call the imperial physician.

Doctor Liu came in hurriedly, examined the wound and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient. Because you are pregnant, you can't use any more anesthetic. Wait for a few days, change the dressing, and the wound will heal slowly."

After hearing what he said, what else could Tao Yanyan say? She had to hold it in and cry a few times. After all, it was not shameful to cry in front of He Linzhang.

He Linzhang was so heartbroken that he didn't go anywhere and just stayed with her.

Qingfeng and Mingyue came with new clothes and soup, and then they changed Tao Yanyan into new clothes. Seeing some bloodstains on the dragon couch, they hurriedly changed the sheets.

After everything was taken care of, Qingfeng saw that her queen's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She said sadly, "Since entering the palace, the queen has never been injured so badly, except for the time when she fell into the water. It's all my fault. If I had gone with her, I would have held her in my arms and would never let her get hurt!"

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't go. You didn't see how scary that thing was when it pointed at people. By the way, where is Jiang Yingying? Is she okay?"

Not long after he got on the carriage, he fainted from the pain. When he woke up, he didn't see the girl. Tao Yanyan still had some questions to ask her.

Qing Feng said unhappily, "She was also slightly injured. Imperial Doctor Liu bandaged her up and she is now recovering in our Changle Palace."

Tao Yanyan took the soup handed to him by Mingyue and drank it in two or three gulps: "Let's pack up and go back to Changle Palace."

He Linzhang had just gone out to listen to the news sent by Qi Yizheng. When he came in at this time, he heard her say that she wanted to return to Changle Palace. He said unhappily: "Stay here to recuperate, and I will take care of you personally."

Tao Yanyan pouted: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, I dare not disturb you. Besides, I am always crying, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be annoyed. Your Majesty, please let me go back!"

The main reason is that she feels comfortable living in her own place. Until now, she still doesn't like living in Qinzheng Hall.

Seeing her insistence, He Linzhang had to compromise, but he still sent her back personally and told the three children who had just returned from elementary school not to touch Concubine Tao's belly because she was pregnant with a little brother or sister.

The three children had bright eyes, and all six of them were staring at Concubine Tao's belly.

"Mother, when will my brother come out?" Xiao Jinan asked worriedly.

"She is obviously a younger sister, just like my sister, a pig-like sister." He Yue insisted.

"I think she's a younger sister, but I also like a younger brother. It's so hard to choose." He Xuan suffers from decision-making difficulties.

Tao Yanyan: “…”

"Ahem, whether it's a brother or a sister, we'll know in ten months. But you three have to study hard and set an example for your brothers and sisters. When he comes out, you have to be my little helpers and help me take care of him, okay?"

The three little ones were indeed full of sense of responsibility. They immediately started to recharge and study, vowing to become excellent little helpers.

Seeing that she had made the children behave well, He Linzhang smiled and hugged her in his arms: "I feel relieved to have you take care of them." After that, he gently placed his hand on her abdomen: "I hope this one will be well-behaved too, so as not to make you too tired."

Tao Yanyan placed her small hand on his big hand, raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

He Linzhang looked at her and said, "I like all the children you give birth to." But it would be even better if you gave birth to a prince. I will personally teach him how to be a king.

He didn't say what he was thinking because he didn't want to put any pressure on Tao Yanyan.

However, he sincerely hoped that Tao Yanyan could give birth to a prince, a prince as intelligent and kind as her, who would bring the Great Zhou to a new height in the future.

Cang Xuan was imprisoned in a dungeon and was not beaten much, but he confessed everything.

Qi Yizheng took the confession and went to the palace to report after daybreak.

He Linzhang skipped a morning court session and went to listen to Qi Yizheng's report on the matter.

"Your Majesty, Cang Xuan confessed everything. It turns out that Canglongmen is indeed related to him, but he only occasionally provides some financial support to Canglongmen. The person behind Canglongmen is his twin brother Cang Qi. They are all descendants of the remnants of the previous dynasty. His brother was in love with Long Weiwei, so he took his own surname Cang and Long Weiwei's surname Long to form Canglongmen."

"Remnants of the previous dynasty? Humph, just a bunch of rabble." The previous dynasty had been destroyed for more than two hundred years. The Great Zhou is now growing stronger. In He Linzhang's eyes, these remnants of the previous dynasty who wanted to overthrow the Great Zhou are simply not worth mentioning.

"According to Cang Xuan, Canglongmen also wanted Long Weiwei to make such a powerful weapon, but Long Weiwei refused, saying that she couldn't make it, so she had a rift with Cangqi. Later, Long Weiwei became disheartened and left Cangqi. She followed Cang Xuan to the capital of Da Zhou and founded Miaoyinfang. There were some unclear feelings between the two until Long Weiwei suddenly disappeared one day."
