No one dared to intercede. The fourth prince and the concubine Xian's mother's family were military generals, and they were still at the border before they could come back in time.

Rong'er was a loyal maid. When she saw that the real culprits were all caught, she killed them directly. She bluntly said that she would go underground and continue to serve the Queen. Emperor Xuan Cheng's face improved a little.

This farce finally ended here. Then Emperor Xuancheng announced that he would not go to court for forty-nine days. All ministers and wives must come to worship the queen three times in the morning, noon and evening!

Meng Liu really admired how well Empress Ye trained Emperor Xuancheng. They were more than ten years apart in age, but they could still love each other so hard. If it were in modern times, Empress Ye would only take away all the money of those rich people. If you lie to everyone, people are still afraid that they won’t give you enough.

Damn, he just won without doing anything. Now, except for the foolish eldest prince and the heirless third prince, they, Xiao Jiu, are healthy and have accidentally become the prince most likely to aspire to the throne!

Ye Xinyao had made arrangements before her death. Over the years, her nephew had refused to take the identity of King Yi. She knew that after she left, Gu Zhixing would fake his death and escape. Thinking about Wen Ning's identity, she eventually poisoned herself to death. .

The purpose is to pave the way for Gu Zhixing and his wife, and only if the Ninth Prince ascends that throne, Gu Zhixing and Wen Ning will be safe.

The funerals of the Queen and King Yi lasted for seventy-seven forty-nine days.

It wasn't until winter approached that things in the palace calmed down.

Meng Liu calculated that the time was almost up, so he sent his maid to the street to ask for a doctor. If the palace doctor was called, the whole palace would know that she was pregnant tomorrow.

Gu Zhixing was very busy during this period. Perhaps he performed well at the Queen's funeral, but by some mistake Emperor Xuancheng saw it and arranged a lot of work for him. He left early and came back late all day long.

The doctor Cuilian invited was a traveling doctor, so he didn't know the identity of the lady in the Gu family.

I just looked, heard, asked and felt as usual, and after taking the pulse, I congratulated with a smile: "You are pregnant. Judging from the pulse, the fetus is safe. There is no need to use extra fetal medicine. Madam just needs to keep a good mood and remember the joy and sorrow." "

Several maids were surprised and thanked the doctor and gave him reward money.

"Princess, do you want to send someone to send a message to the Prince Consort now?"

Meng Liu shook her head. After all, it was her first child, and she still wanted to tell Gu Zhixing in person.

It was getting dark, and Gu Zhixing came back from work around dinner time.

Along the way, Gu Zhixing noticed that the maids and women who were coming and going all had smiles on their faces, and they couldn't stop laughing as they stared at him.

He walked into the house confused: "What happy event is there today?"

Meng Liu smiled and replied: "Let's have dinner first. I do have something to tell you later."

"Just in time, I also have something to tell you."

After the couple had a warm dinner, Meng Liu took the lead and asked, "You go ahead and tell me."

Gu Zhixing hesitated, a little unsure of Meng Liu's thoughts, but he still said: "The emperor intends to send me to Yanzhou. I would like to ask if you would like to go with me?"

After all, Meng Liu's mother and brother are both in the capital. If he goes to Yanzhou with him, he won't be able to come back for two or three years.

It's good to be sent abroad. All officials who entered the imperial examination must be sent abroad to serve as officials. It is beneficial to their career. How many officials are qualified to be sent abroad until they are thirty or forty years old? Gu Zhixing can do it before he has reached one year. She is naturally willing.

In this capital, she had been tortured by many palace dramas, and she was really worried.

"Of course I am willing. You and I are husband and wife, so of course we want to be together."

Hearing her answer, Gu Zhixing felt relieved. Meng Liu was the only relative he had left. Of course he didn't want the two to be separated: "By the way, what do you want to say to me?"

Meng Liu took his hand and put it on his belly: "I'm pregnant."

Gu Zhixing stared at her belly, his eyes gleaming, his hands trembling: "Really?"

"This can still be a holiday. The doctor has come to see me. It has been more than two months and the child is now very healthy."

Gu Zhixing picked up Meng Liu and spun him around in the air several times.

Meng Liu quickly patted him on the shoulder: "Put it down, put it down quickly, don't scare the child!"

Gu Zhixing put her down angrily and asked with concern: "The child is healthy, what about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine too."

After being happy, Gu Zhixing became worried again. The sky was high in Yanzhou and the Emperor was far away, but Meng Liu couldn't bear it at all now. He was worried that the traveling on the road would be harmful to her and her children.

Meng Liu looked at his uncertain face and knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, the doctor has said that this pregnancy is going well, not to mention that we are riding in a carriage on the way. Let Cuilian and the others put a thick blanket on the horse, and there will definitely be no problems."

Gu Zhixing also knew that there was no other way. He was worried about leaving his wife and children in the capital.

"Then don't tell the mother and concubine about the pregnancy. It won't be too late to wait until Yanzhou is settled."

This is exactly what Meng Liu thought.

Soon Emperor Xuancheng's decree came down. Gu Zhixing was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou. He took office immediately. His official rank jumped two levels and was promoted to the third rank.

Although Concubine Rou was a little reluctant to part with her daughter, she also knew that if Gu Zhixing wanted to advance in his official career, it would be inevitable to go outside.

She was afraid that Yanzhou was lacking something, so she could only pack up a lot of things and ask Meng Liu to take them there.

This made Meng Liu dumbfounded: "Concubine, you almost emptied the Mingyue Palace. Then Yanzhou is not a poor and remote place. It is a prosperous place after all. There is no need to prepare pots and pans!"

Concubine Rou felt it was not enough: "My mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. You won't understand until you become a mother in the future!"

There was no other way, so Meng Liu had no choice but to take all these things back to the princess' mansion after her mother's words, and spent a whole day picking and sorting before packing her luggage.

After bidding farewell to the emperor and Concubine Rou, Meng Liu followed Gu Zhixing and set out on the road.

She was quite curious. She had never seen the ancient scenery before. It was like going on a trip. Everything she saw was new.

However, ancient times are not as good as modern times. In some poorer states and counties along the way, even the roads have not yet been repaired.

It's really frustrating.

Gu Zhixing was thinking about Meng Liu's body and stopped and walked along the way. It took him a month to reach Yanzhou.

The previous governor of Yanzhou had been promoted to the capital, and Gu Zhixing took Meng Liu to move into the governor's mansion.

Meng Liu held her belly and told the maid to pack her luggage, while she followed Gu Zhixing to visit the place where she would live in the future. The previous Zhou Mu was a very particular person, and although this house was not big, it was well maintained.

"Consort, the doctor has brought you." Taosheng reported.

Gu Zhixing nodded: "Take him to the front hall first, we will go there right away."

After that, he explained to Meng Liu: "It's been a long journey, so I'd better ask the doctor to see it before I can rest assured."

What's more, Meng Liu's belly, which was just over three months old, looked really big. Gu Zhixing would be really worried if he didn't let the doctor take a look.

Meng Liu would not joke about her body, so she immediately let Gu Zhixing help her over.

The doctor looked at Meng Liu's weak pulse and frowned.

Gu Zhixing on the side was already sweating: "But what's wrong with the child?"

The doctor withdrew his hand and stroked the beard on his chin: "No, judging from the pulse, the baby is very healthy, but... I'm not sure how many fetuses there are, maybe three, maybe four."

Gu Zhixing was even more worried. It was so difficult for a woman to give birth to a child. Now that Meng Liu was pregnant with multiple children, she was worried about the mother's health.

"Is there any way to reduce the number? Only one will remain."

The doctor shook his head: "I can't do it with my medical skills."
