After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

Yu Li lowered his eyes slightly, put down his hand that was touching his chest, and said in a cold voice:

"I just felt pain in my heart, as if someone had pinched it hard." And whenever he thought of Lin Shuwan, he felt heartache, and the pain would last for a while, but if he didn't think of her, he wouldn't feel pain.

Did the pill she gave him that night borrow the poison in his body and give him another poison?

Yu Li's eyes turned dark as he pondered over this possibility. He even wondered if Lin Shuwan had done it on purpose when they first met, just to draw his attention and interest in her!

Prime Minister Lin is a loyalist. The old emperor asked Prime Minister Lin to be Yang Qi's assistant minister and support Yang Qi to ascend the throne. Would he let his daughter become a pawn to set up a trap for himself?

The more Yu Li thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt, but his mind became clearer.

Yu Li put his hand over his heart, his face turned pale, and there was scarlet murderous intent and violence in his eyes, but the smile at the corners of his mouth was getting deeper and deeper, with a hint of madness.

But within a moment, he quickly calmed down.

Imperial Physician Shen and several eunuchs and Jinyiwei guards beside him all looked at Yu Li with concern.

Yu Li raised his head, his eyes regained their usual calmness and gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the original plan."

Everyone present responded respectfully: "Yes!"

Early morning seven days later.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The death knell hanging high on the city wall rang.

The people and ministers of the entire capital city heard the death knell that belonged only to the emperor, stopped what they were doing, and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

All the ministers who heard the bell changed their expressions slightly, changed into court robes in a hurry, and told their wives and families who had imperial edicts to put the house in order, and then hurried into the palace.

Prime Minister Lin had just returned to the mansion when he heard the death knell, and his face darkened. Thinking of his daughter who had just entered the palace two days ago, he sighed deeply.

A few days ago, he received news that the emperor had summoned the empress to sleep with him. Unexpectedly, the emperor went there just a few days later.

Madam Lin had just greeted Prime Minister Lin at the door when she heard the bell. She immediately looked at Prime Minister Lin with a worried look on her face: "Master..."

Prime Minister Lin held her hand and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay! I'll go to the palace and you can settle the house. I will find a chance to visit the Queen, she will be fine."

Mrs. Lin nodded: "Yes."

Prime Minister Lin comforted Mrs. Lin, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Long before Lin Shuwan entered the palace, the old emperor had questioned him. Although he was extremely reluctant, he could not disobey the emperor's order. For the sake of thousands of Lin family members, he had to accept the imperial edict to enter the palace.

At first he thought that no matter how useless Yang Qi was, he would be loyal and assist him wholeheartedly, but now he was being coerced by others, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Yang Qi returned to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

There was a series of loud farts every hour, which made him extremely irritated and his whole body exuded a strong murderous aura.

Even when he went to see the imperial physicians and folk doctors, they all said that he was in good health and had no problems. Farting was just the body's normal way of expelling gas and was the most normal thing!

Of course he knew that farting was normal, but his body didn't need to fart so loudly and smellily. He was the only prince of Daye and would be the emperor of Daye in the future. If he continued like this, how would he have any face in the future?

Could it be that Yu Li had poisoned him in order to destroy his mood and dignity?

Moreover, he figured out the pattern: he would fart once every hour, and the time was very accurate. Sometimes when he was sleeping at night, he would wake himself up from the fart, and in the end he couldn't sleep because of the stink!

The repeated torture made Yang Qi extremely irritable during this period. He seldom went out, and did not go to the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Yue. So he did not know that Concubine Yue had lost her title and had been banished to the cold palace.

Yang Qi didn't sleep well again last night, and his whole body exuded irritability and gloom.

A little maidservant happened to wipe her nose and was seen by Yang Qi. His face immediately darkened. Did she think she had a smell and disliked that he smelled bad?

Thinking of this, Yang Qi's emotions completely collapsed. With a gloomy face, he stepped forward and kicked the little maid to the ground: "Bitch, you are looking for death!"

Yang Qi angrily ordered his men to get a whip with barbs, and lashed the maid fiercely, cursing as he lashed her: "Damn bitch, how dare you despise me? Do you think I smell bad? I will beat you to death, you damn bitch!"

"what!"

The little maid was beaten until her skin was torn and her flesh was exposed. Every time the barbs on the whip were pulled away, they would take away her clothes and flesh. In a short while, the little maid fell to the ground covered in blood.

There were many palace maids, eunuchs and guards serving nearby, all with their heads down. They were used to this and did not dare to persuade or look, for fear that Yang Qi's anger would be transferred to them.

"Boom boom boom——"

The death knell rang in the palace.

Yang Qi paused in his whipping motion and silently counted the bells in his mind until the bells stopped. The violent and ferocious expression on his face suddenly turned into ecstasy.

But it soon turned back, and the ecstasy turned into sadness and disbelief, and he murmured: "My father passed away?" He could ascend the throne and become emperor!

Yang Qi dropped the whip in his hand, glanced coldly at the half-dead maid on the ground, and ordered with a stern face: "Deal with her!"

Then he waved his hand and quickly went back to his room to change into plain white mourning clothes.

The door closed and Yang Qi could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He could finally sit in that seat!

……

Changyi Hall.

Lin Shuwan was reading a book, while Muye and Chaoxi were making tea for her.

Suddenly, the funeral bells were heard in the palace. Nanny Zhou and Nanny Ren came in from outside and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the emperor has passed away! You should go to Zhaoyang Palace."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuwan closed the book in his hand and slowly stood up.

The old emperor had died a long time ago, and it took seven days to announce it. No one knows what Yu Li was planning.

Ever since that day when Yu Li sent her back to Changyi Palace, he never came over again, and she was relieved. Anyway, she had a baby now, and she was still in the recovery stage of her "injury". Yu Li couldn't do much when he came, at most he could just kiss her.

So Lin Shuwan didn’t care whether Yu Li came over or not.

Nanny Zhou and Nanny Ren helped Lin Shuwan put on mourning clothes, and then she took Chaoxi and Nanny Zhou, got on the sedan chair, and walked towards Zhaoyang Palace.

When Lin Shuwan arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, all the women in the old emperor's harem had already come and were kneeling in a large group outside the Zhaoyang Palace.

These are only those with lower status. Those with higher status have already entered the Zhaoyang Palace and knelt.

Perhaps because of the great joy of the old emperor's death, Yu Li showed special mercy today and lifted the house arrest of all the concubines, and came to Zhaoyang Palace to see the old emperor off.
