Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

In early December, a winter snow covered the entire harem in silver.

Shen Yao was eight months pregnant, surrounded by a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital who were taking her pulse and showing all kinds of concerns and fear for her.

Imperial Physician Lu was naturally among them, and he could even say something. After all, he was different from other imperial physicians. Imperial Physician Lu accepted benefits from the Shen family and considered himself a member of the Shen family from the bottom of his heart.

"Empress Xin Zhaoyi, your pregnancy is stable, but twins are not as good as a single one. You must be more careful and cautious during these days."

Giving birth for women is a nightmare. Various accidents may happen every day before delivery. Even an accidental fall or premature birth may be life-threatening.

After finishing his routine examination, Imperial Doctor Lu paced around the main hall of Furong Palace and carefully looked around inside and outside to make sure there were no added ingredients that would affect the health of Shen Yao and her son.

Now, the most important thing for the entire Imperial Hospital is the royal heir in Concubine Xin's belly.

Even the Emperor had issued an oral order, asking the Imperial Hospital to be fully responsible for all matters related to the birthing in Furong Palace and to ensure the safety of Concubine Xin and her two children.

"Don't worry, Doctor Lu. I already knew about this." Shen Yao sat on the couch, with smokeless charcoal burning on the ground and thick fur covering her body. "Xiaofu, send Doctor Lu for me."

Xiaofu stood up, bowed to Doctor Lu, pointed his hand forward, and let Doctor Lu lead the people out.

Seeing this, Xiaoji brought the hand warmer placed nearby to warm his master's body while also tidying up the items on the small coffee table, replacing the cold tea and removing the hardened pastries from the table.

The freshly made pastries and drinks from the kitchenette were delivered again in just half a moment. Xiaoji kept his eyes and ears open, always paying attention to his master's situation, striving to discover the master's situation as soon as possible if anything happened.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao called Xiaoji down to rest, "I have nothing to do here for now."

In fact, since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August 15, the palace has undergone several major purges arranged by the emperor in the following three months.

Regardless of whether they were truly innocent or pretending to be innocent, all the elderly people in the palace were sent out of the palace.

Now, all the staff added to each palace are newcomers selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We cannot guarantee that these people are absolutely safe to use, but because the newcomers are not as smooth and thoughtful as the old ones, even if there are some problems, it is easier to detect the forces behind them.

Furong Palace was a key protected area, and most of the people inside were replaced one after another.

Among this group of people, except Xiaofu and Xiaoji, some of the rest are the emperor's confidants, some are sent by the Shen family outside the palace, and some are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because of this, the system's frequency of monitoring Furong Palace has dropped significantly compared to before. If there were not three concubines living in the back hall, the system should have completely let itself go and focused its energy on other palaces.

"Master, I am waiting at the door. If you need anything, please call me at any time."

Xiaoji refused to go back to rest and decided to stand guard, not resting until his master was alive.

Xiaoji took two quick steps to the door and ran into Xiaofu who was coming in.

They smiled at each other, Xiaofu rubbed his palms and walked to Shen Yao, "Master, before Doctor Lu left, he noticed that there was something wrong with a midwife in Furong Palace. I have already sent her to Qianqing Palace."

As for how the Emperor of the Qianqing Palace would be dealt with? Would the Ministry of Internal Affairs be implicated? That was none of their business at the Furong Palace.

"Midwife, this is the third case this month. I think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a new bride over this afternoon. You should keep an eye on her then."

The midwife and wet nurse started preparing early when Shen Yao was six months pregnant.

Unfortunately, batch after batch of people were sent in, but only a few of them were useful.

Now that she was about to give birth, this kind of thing could actually happen. Shen Yao smiled and picked up the teacup and placed it to her lips.

Xiaofu was indignant about this, "Master, you are just too kind-hearted."

The emperor would be as trembling as a peacock if he spent a few more days with other concubines. But his own mistress was pregnant with the royal heir, yet she was still kind to everyone else. It was really a good thing for those servants in the Imperial Household Department who only knew how to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

"Our priority right now is to ensure the birth of the royal heir. The Imperial Household Department is under the jurisdiction of the Emperor and will not let us down," Yu Yu did have some foresight, just like the many tributes that had already filled up the warehouse of Furong Palace, all of which came from Yu Yu's private warehouse, and any one of them was worth a fortune.

Raising a child costs money. Shen Yao's family is not wealthy. Even though the Shen family gave her special subsidies when she entered the palace, she is still not as good as some concubines.

Now with the emperor's sole contribution, Shen Yao has made up for her own weakness. She hopes that such harmless things will happen more often. She doesn't know about other things, but the compensation will definitely be huge.

As the master and servant were talking, Xiaoji raised his voice and said, "Butler Li is here." Xiaofu immediately understood what he meant and turned around to go out to greet this popular figure around the emperor.

Li Guiquan smiled. He had been going to Furong Palace very frequently during these days.

Before Xiaofu could say anything polite, he saw the eunuchs lined up behind Li Gui and the gifts they were holding.

"Li Zongguan"

"Little Fortune Girl"

The two of them looked at each other tacitly, and then Li Guiquan flicked the whisk in his hand and sent the gifts into the warehouse.

Li Guiquan whispered to Xiaofu that the midwife who was sent had been dealt with, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs who selected the midwife and her family would be interrogated. However, as for the result, "Please ask Miss Xiaofu to explain to Empress Xin Zhaoyi that the emperor, considering the overall situation in the court, has to temporarily inconvenience the Empress for a while."

After all, a single move can affect the entire body. The emperor has taken the opportunity to clean up the court during this period. Now the court officials are too sensitive. If the emperor still wants to maintain political stability, he can only put it off for now and wait until the storm passes before settling the score. No one can escape.

Xiaofu: ...

What could Xiaofu say? Several midwives before her had handled the situation in the same way. The emperor gave gifts to appease the woman, and the master was considerate and didn’t make a fuss. She was already very familiar with the whole process.

Xiaofu nodded with a smile, exchanged a few polite words with Li Guiquan, and learned that the emperor would come to Furong Palace for dinner tonight.

Xiaofu sent Li Guiquan away, instructed the small kitchen to prepare meals in advance, and then turned around to tell the master who was in the room.

Shen Yao hummed, "The emperor has many concerns, we just need to do our best."

As for the blank check that the emperor had written to her, Shen Yao said it was not important.

Touching her round belly with one hand, Shen Yao turned her head to look out the window.

'Host, how can you sit still? Someone is trying to harm you!'

The system was shouting anxiously, like a jumping frog.

"You mean the imperial concubine? She's almost dying, so just fulfill her wish."

system:……???

What nonsense is the host talking about? If they fulfill the imperial concubine's wish, wouldn't it mean that they will suffer? Why are they rushing to cause premature birth and difficult labor?

'The Emperor would not blame Furong Palace if I was frightened into premature labor.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. The emperor will come tonight. You can send a message to the people in Yongning Palace.'

Don’t say that she doesn’t help the Imperial Concubine. Shen Yao is now willing to risk her life to cooperate, and I’m afraid even the Imperial Concubine’s relatives can compare to her.

System: ……6

The host's manipulation of the system is so dazzling, I didn't expect it to be possible to do it this way? !

"Of course I can. She is so proud of herself now. How can I accept that?"

In the main hall of Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine looked haggard, with a pale face without a trace of blood.

Lianxiang's hand was in pain from being grabbed by the imperial concubine. She wanted to persuade him but was helpless.

"Lianxiang, you are my personal maid, so you will help me this time, right?"

Lianxiang nodded perfunctorily, "My Lady, I will naturally stand on your side, but..."

"Just stand on my side," the imperial concubine interrupted Lianxiang and happily pulled Lianxiang to plan how to cause trouble for Xin Zhaoyi. "Let's go directly to Furong Palace and question Xin Zhaoyi in front of the emperor. It would be best if the emperor could see Xin Zhaoyi's true face. Then..."

The imperial concubine became more and more excited as she spoke, and the expression on her face became more and more crazy and out of control.

Lianxiang was so frightened that she kept backing away, but unfortunately her hands were already held tightly by the imperial concubine, so she couldn't break free and could only let it go.

The Yongning Palace is frost-covered, while the Furong Palace is warm and full of flowers.

When the emperor came, he was welcomed in. Because Shen Yao was not pregnant, she could not stand up to greet him. She just sat on the couch and called out from afar, "Long live the emperor."

"I will feel at ease if you and the princes are doing well," Yu Yu was really afraid that something might happen to Shen Yao, especially her big belly with twins, plus the midwife and wet nurse who were caught every now and then. Yu Yu was having a headache.

"Your Majesty has been working hard lately. I can't do much. Now I just hope to give birth to the royal heir safely and not let Your Majesty continue to suffer."

It is difficult, isn't it? When there is no heir, one has to consider his half-brothers and sons, and balance the politics of the court. When there is an heir, one has to guard against some people who are desperate and want to cut off his bloodline.

Yu Yu raised his hand and touched Shen Yao's bulging belly. His serious expression became softer and more relaxed. "When the princes are born safely, my beloved concubine and I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Shen Yao smiled but said nothing, thinking that the most stressful days were after giving birth.

They don't know how much effort they have to put in to raise a babbling baby into an adult.

Shen Yao did not mention any disappointing things when they were being affectionate. The two of them leaned against each other on the couch, enjoying the rare warm moment.

When the dinner prepared in the small kitchen was served, Shen Yao was helped to sit down at the Eight Immortals Table. The emperor personally served the dishes. By the time they finished eating, it had already darkened outside.

The emperor was unlikely to leave at this time, so he waved his hand and asked someone to prepare warm water for a bath.

"Your Majesty, I am ugly and I don't want to pollute your eyes. You should go to another concubine's palace to sleep."

Shen Yao said something insincerely that made the emperor sound satisfied, and her words made the emperor put away the last bit of hesitation in his heart and said that he would sleep in Furong Palace.

Shen Yao: ...This is what I want

"Emperor~"

Shen Yao was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. As an abnormal person with only a fat belly but not a fat face, she looked very beautiful when she cried.

At least the emperor doesn't mind this kind of hypocritical behavior and is even willing to cooperate with it.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
