Chapter 199 New Huanzhu 5 Prince, This Time I Choose the Throne 27
Lu Yi's mouth curled up slightly, and he returned to the side hall. "Xinrong, how are you? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"
Xinrong's face wasn't as pale as before. She placed her hand on her stomach and looked at Lu Yi uncertainly. "Yongqi, I'm not hungry. Did you hear what the imperial physician said? We're having a baby, right?"
"Yes, I heard it, we have a baby."
Lu Yi patiently repeated to her, and suddenly the system's voice rang in his mind, "Host, the plot deviation has reached 88%."
"Okay, got it." Lu Yi raised the corners of her mouth. She sat for a while but still felt uneasy. "Xinrong, you didn't eat anything at the table just now. How about I get some food and you eat a few bites? It's not good for your health to be hungry."
Xinrong nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll eat. I'm suddenly a little hungry. I want to drink millet porridge."
"I'll get it."
It was on the table, and pumpkin was added to it. She drank two bowls and it tasted very good and sticky. Xinrong should like it.
Lu Yi quickened his pace and soon arrived at the main hall.
While the palace maids were serving the millet porridge, the guards, who had finished their work outside, came in with a faint smell of blood and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the twenty strokes of the cane are complete..."
"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate." The emperor glanced at him.
"Yes! Your Majesty, Master Fu lost a lot of blood. The imperial physician examined him and said he might have difficulty walking in the future."
The palace doctors were rather conservative in their diagnoses and treatments; if someone mentioned the word "unable to walk", the result would most likely remain the same.
The emperor's surprise was evident. "What?! Is there something serious?"
Seriously? The guard looked at the emperor hesitantly, then quickly averted his gaze, lowered his head, and said loudly, "Your Majesty! He may not be able to stand up, or he may limp when he does. The imperial physician says anything is possible!"
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. "Okay, you can go down. As long as the person is still alive, it's good."
Fulun sat in his seat, holding his wife tightly under the table. His heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife, and he wanted to go and see what happened to his beloved son.
Just as I was feeling tormented, I heard the emperor's voice from the throne.
"Fullen?"
"Chen is here!"
"The guards were too cautious. You and I are connected by heart, so you don't hate me, do you?"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Erkang brought this upon himself and he truly deserves it. I have absolutely no resentment at all!" Fulun kowtowed heavily to the ground and did not dare to raise his head for a long time.
"That's good. Get up, take your son home, and ask a good doctor to treat him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In the Fu family carriage, Fu Lun's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Can you please stop crying? Your sobbing is getting on my nerves. I've been crying all the way."
"I just cried! What kind of place is this palace? A healthy person went in straight and came out lying down. And that was our most beloved son!"
"What's the use of crying!" Fu Lun suddenly shouted, startling the sobbing in the carriage. He sighed deeply, and his straight back suddenly bent. "I want to cry too. Seeing Erkang like this, my heart as his father is bleeding. But crying is useless! Fu Jin, do you understand?"
"Erkang is too confused. After suffering such a severe injury, if he can regain consciousness, he may as well limp a little."
"The most urgent matter is to find a way to restore the Fu family's position in the emperor's heart. Otherwise, judging by this trend, I don't know what the Fu family will be like a hundred years after you and I are gone."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Fu Lun's eyes were filled with grief. He covered his face with his sleeves. After a while, his back straightened up again. He looked at Fu Jin and said, "Yes, we still have a son, a son who can make up for the Fu family's sin."
"Master!" Fu Jin was overwhelmed with grief, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Baoyue Tower.
Lu Yi was supporting Xinrong, with a bunch of concubines beside him. The emperor probably called all the concubines whose ranks he remembered.
The purpose was to introduce Concubine Xiang to everyone, as I was afraid that Hanxiang was suffering from cold violence in the palace.
The emperor stood on the second floor side by side with Xiang Fei, allowing her to wear Hui ethnic clothing and enjoy the admiration of the concubines.
Lu Yi was looking at the place where the plaque of Baoyue Tower was hung.
"Yongqi, you've been looking at the plaque. Is that your calligraphy?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Baoyue Tower is where the emperor's beloved concubine lives. The emperor would never be willing to give me the opportunity to inscribe the title. You should take a closer look."
Xinrong couldn't tell. Lu Yi pointed to the two lanterns hanging there and said, "I made those two lanterns myself. I chose the two best ones and gave them to the Emperor. He loved them. He saw them here."
"It shows how much he dotes on Xiang Fei." Lu Yi was sighing when the emperor's laughter came from above, "All of you come up and talk to Xiang Fei."
Xinrong's belly was already visible. After everyone went up, Lu Yi supported Xinrong and slowly stepped up.
When I went up to the second floor, I found that besides the emperor, there was another person who had been coaxing Xiang Fei to talk. It was Xiaoyanzi, who had been quiet for a long time. She changed her usual silence and said interesting words, which made Xiang Fei look at her curiously.
"Xiaoyanzi, Xiang Fei finds what you said interesting. Please say more. If you can appease Xiang Fei, I will reward you handsomely."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiaoyanzi responded with lowered eyebrows. When she raised her head again, her face was full of smiles. Lu Yi felt it was weird no matter how he looked at it. He stretched out his hand to protect Xinrong a little tighter, away from all strange people.
When Xiaoyanzi talked about her time in the slum, Xiang Fei's eyes flickered slightly and she asked, "You were very happy in the slum, why are you unhappy now?"
Xiaoyanzi looked a little surprised, and said with lowered eyebrows: "Replying to Queen Xiangfei, I can no longer go back to the slum." The slum had been demolished to pieces, and the people who lived in it had disappeared, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Xiang Fei withdrew her gaze, and Xiaoyanzi racked her brains to coax Xiang Fei to talk more.
"Fragrant Concubine, please come and see." Xiaoyanzi led Hanxiang to the second-floor railing. The emperor did not stop her, but followed Xiaoyanzi's gaze with some caution. "What do you want to show the Fragrant Concubine? I want to see it too."
The emperor was fully focused on Hanxiang, but he didn't realize that Xiaoyanzi's target was Xinrong.
As soon as she moved.
"Xiaoyanzi, what are you doing!" the emperor shouted angrily, and the guards around him rushed forward, but none of them reacted as quickly as Lu Yi, who was closest to Xinrong.
Lu Yi hugged Xinrong and cleverly avoided the pounce of Xiaoyanzi. The other party jumped over the railing due to inertia and quickly hit the ground.
"Xinrong, are you okay? Call the imperial physician quickly! Nothing can happen to you or the baby in your belly!"
"Xiaoyanzi is truly audacious. She even dares to harm someone in the royal family. Isn't she afraid that I will exterminate her entire clan?!"
The emperor was furious and started cursing. The eunuchs around him did not dare to remind him that as Xiaoyanzi was the emperor's adopted daughter, it was not convenient to kill her nine clans.
