More than three months.

Not only were they both pregnant as in the dream, but the months also matched up.

"Take another look, is there anything wrong with this pregnancy?" Lou Yue looked at the imperial doctor and asked with a serious look.

His too cold tone and look also made the imperial doctor feel nervous, and for a moment he couldn't grasp what Lou Yue meant.

He could only go back and continue diagnosing Chao Ci's pulse. After careful examination for a long time, he said tentatively: "I can't see anything wrong with this pregnancy. It's just that my mother is a little weak and has a hidden injury on her leg. She needs to be nourished."

."

Lou Yue frowned tightly, his expression ugly.

How could there be nothing wrong with it? This pregnancy would clearly...clearly kill him.

Those pictures and scenes were swirling in his mind again. Chao Ci had his eyes closed tightly, his face was pale and pale, and his stomach was sewed up with a few stitches by the poor doctor. It was ferocious and terrifying.

Lou Yue's throat tightened, and he looked at Chao Ci, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

He didn't want to keep this child.

The things he remembered in his dreams have come true one by one in these days. Whether it was Chao Ci in Yucheng, the young man Guan Su beside him, Chao Ci's pregnancy at the moment, or even what happened in the court hall in his dream.

Everything has happened. Now in the confrontation between Lou Yue and Lou Chen, he occupies the absolute top, because Lou Chen has lost the advantage of being in the dark with him. All of Lou Chen's trump cards and layout are in his hands.

Everything was revealed in the dream.

A few days ago, Lou Yue tentatively turned over a brothel, which turned out to be an intelligence base for Lou Chen. It was not important, but it was enough to prove Lou Yue's suspicion.

Maybe that's not a dream.

Chao Ci will die because of this pregnancy.

This child is his child, his eldest son, and the first child between him and Chao Ci. Of course he also has feelings. He was heartbroken about the small tomb in the dream. But no matter how important the child is,

, and he couldn't exchange Chao Ci's life for it. Even if the dream might not be true, he didn't dare to take it as long as there was a slight risk of losing Chao Ci.

But...he had no way to explain.

The imperial doctor also said that there was nothing wrong with the pregnancy so far. Was he going to ask Chao Ci to abort the child?

Lou Yue was silent for a long time, and then said to the imperial physician: "Prescribe some medicine for the Queen."

After the imperial doctor finished prescribing the medicine, he asked the imperial doctor to go down. Bi Fei also took the prescription and asked people to go to the imperial pharmacy to prepare the decoction.

After they all went down, Lou Yue suppressed the floating thoughts in his heart and thought about the imperial doctor saying that Chao Ci had been injured on his leg, and he couldn't help feeling sad and blaming himself.

When Chao Ci lived in Linhua Palace, his twice-monthly Ping'an pulse never failed, and Lou Yue had to check it every time. At that time, Chao Ci had no symptoms at all. After all, he was a descendant of a famous family, capable of both literary and military skills.

, and he was young, so he had no symptoms. At least for a while, Lou Yue was a little too demanding, causing Chao Ci to suffer from insufficient kidney water due to too much sex. After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Lou Yue did not dare to be too presumptuous and restrained himself.

many.

But now, Chao Ci is physically weak and suffers from leg problems. Lou Yue knows why this is better than anyone else.

That night when Chao Ci was in front of the Qinzheng Hall, ordinary people could only kowtow for half an hour, but Chao Ci knelt all night long. Later, Chao Ci was bedridden in Qionghua Palace for several days, but both the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Medical Office turned a blind eye.

, I just rely on Bi Fei to go around asking for some decoctions every day.

How can we not leave the root of the disease like this?

Lou Yue briefly thought about it and felt that he was really cruel and terrible at that time.

How could he be so cruel? He obviously knew...

"What caused your leg injury?" he asked, "Does it hurt normally? Or does it hurt at night?"

"It's okay." Chao Ci lowered his eyes and looked at his handrail, "It doesn't hurt when walking normally, but it will hurt a little when it's cold or raining."

Lou Yue held Chao Ci's hand: "A few years ago, after I captured the Beidi royal family, I got some white fox skins, which kept me warm. It's almost winter, so I'll have someone make some fur clothes and clothes for you.

knee pads,”

Chao Ci did not refuse, but nodded obediently.

Seeing his appearance, Lou Yue knew that he was hurt by him and his chest felt a little tight.

"Aci, I'm sorry." He said.

Chao Ci stood up and saluted Lou Yue respectfully: "Your Majesty is the king, how can you do anything wrong? Because of your mercy, the entire Chao family was able to save their lives. Now that you have protected them, the injustice will be vindicated. Why?

Is it wrong? I just hate that the traitor behind the scenes framed me."

After receiving such a generous explanation, Lou Yue's expression did not necessarily ease.

As a king, at least on the surface, he did absolutely nothing wrong. He acted completely impartially and indeed opened up the court network.

As an emperor, in fact, he did the right thing. How could he delay the affairs of the family and the country for the personal affairs of his children? Even if he knew that the court and family were innocent, he had to do this for the sake of the overall situation.

But as Chao Ci's lover, he was completely wrong. Because this identity was abandoned by him at the beginning of the game, and now it is even more difficult to find it back.

Chao Ci's current attitude also illustrates this. He is now very polite and considerate of Lou Yue. There is nothing inappropriate at all. He is even more suitable to be a queen now than before.

But Chao Ci and him were not like this before.

He was not so polite to himself, but instead made himself break a lot of rules for him. He would not be so respectful in front of him, but would be affectionate and indulgent.

That is a tenderness that is enough to drown people.

But now that it has been lost, who can be blamed? There is only one real initiator.

What's more, the real truth, the truth about him abandoning Chao Ci and the Chao family for power, Chao Ci doesn't know yet. When he finds out... can he still forgive him?

Lou Yue didn't dare to think about it.

He won't know.

…………

On this night, they lived peacefully on the surface.

When going to bed, Lou Yue watched Chao Ci carefully protecting his stomach, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

He slept with Chao Ci in his arms all night.

Chao Ci got up early the next day and helped Lou Yue get dressed and wash up. Lou Yue said to him, "You are not in good health. You don't have to wait on me to wash up like this in the future."

Lou Yue is a workaholic, and he has to get up at five o'clock to prepare for the early morning court. It doesn't matter that he is tired, but he can't bear to get up so early before leaving for court, not to mention that he is still pregnant with his own child.

"How can this happen? The etiquette cannot be discarded." Chao Ci lowered his head and said, then took the clothes from the palace servant's hands and asked Lou Yue to put them on.

Lou Yue knew that he was showing off his temper again, so he didn't say anything more and picked him up directly. After making Chao Ci exclaim, he carefully put him on the bed.

Without any explanation, he covered him with a quilt and said: "Today morning, we are going to vindicate the Chao family. Don't waste time with Gu Jian."

Chao Ci's weakness was clearly understood by him, so he could only lie down on the bed obediently.

After Lou Yue washed and dressed, he went to the morning court. He had been preparing for many days to overturn the verdict of the Chao family. Now that he brought it up, no one in the court dared to object. He found the entire Chao family not guilty and pardoned him immediately.

He then sent people to escort them back, return all the confiscated property, and reinstate all those who had been dismissed from the court.

Although no one in the court objected, it was obvious that something was wrong with some people. It was the people from Lou Chen who were exposed during this period.

Lou Yue suddenly vindicated the Chao family, which obviously represented an unusual message.

Lou Yue naturally knew what these people were thinking, and he didn't take it too seriously at this time. After the morning court, he secretly summoned the Imperial Medical Officer.

"Is there a way to abort the heir without harming the body?" Lou Yue asked about the order from the Imperial Medical Office.

"this……"

The Imperial Medical Office Ling was stunned.

The Empress was diagnosed with a happy pulse yesterday, and this matter spread throughout the palace overnight. After all, this is His Majesty’s first child, and he is the daughter of the Empress. He is the true eldest son. But today, Your Majesty suddenly came to ask

The way he aborted his heir...

The Chao family had just been rehabilitated. They also said that His Majesty obviously had some true feelings for the empress, but how do you think now... is this not the case?

Could this be just a cover-up?

Thinking of this, the Imperial Medical Officer shook his head quickly. How could he speculate on the emperor's thoughts? He just had to obey his orders honestly.

Before the Imperial Medical Office could tell him what to do, Lou Yue added: "It's best if it can be added to food without anyone noticing."

The Imperial Medical Office sent a chill down the spine.

He didn't dare to think too much. After being silent for a while, he bit the bullet and said: "There are many ways to abort an heir without anyone noticing, but it is almost impossible to do it without harming your body at all."

"Being pregnant with an heir is inherently harmful to the body. If..." He said this, his tone paused again and again, and he began to tremble. "If a man is pregnant with an heir, it will be even more difficult. Whether it is born or aborted, it will inevitably be harmful to the body."

The body has been harmed. The only way I can think of is to minimize the damage, and supplement it with various nursing methods to slowly nurse the body back."

Lou Yue held on to the armrest, and after a while he whispered: "Then let's drive."

He also understands these common senses. Men's pregnancy is inherently more difficult and dangerous than women's. Abortion is harmful to women's health, let alone men.

However, compared with Chao Ci's life, these are incomparable.

How could such a vast country not be able to support a single person? Those illnesses can be cured slowly, but nothing will be lost if one's life is gone.
