Hongli said in surprise: "Little brother? Are you really a little brother?" Ever since Mingyu became pregnant, he had been looking forward to having a little brother so that he could have a legitimate son again. Unexpectedly, he actually got his wish.
Po Wen said with certainty: "If you tell me back to the emperor, it's absolutely true that he is a little brother."
Hongli took the baby from her arms and was licking the swaddled baby with its little tongue outstretched. His brows and eyes were filled with joy and smiles. This was the first time he had laughed so happily since the disaster star appeared in the capital.
A legitimate son, he finally has a legitimate son again, God treats him very well!
After holding the child for a while, he handed the child to Po Wen and went into the inner hall. Mingyu lay on the bed with a pale face. When she saw Hongli coming in, she stretched out her hand with difficulty, and the latter quickly stepped forward and held her hand.
With wet hands, he said gratefully: "Queen, thank you for your hard work."
Mingyu said weakly: "Has your Majesty seen that child? He's a little brother!"
"I saw it, it's very cute, just like when Yong Lian was born." He stroked Mingyu's forehead and said softly: "Queen, thank you for working so hard to give birth to our child."
Mingyu's eyes were slightly red and she said, "Yong Lian... I miss him so much. I wonder what happened to him in heaven?"
Hongli smiled and said: "Yonglian is no longer in the sky long ago?"
"Not in heaven?" Mingyu exclaimed in shock, "Did he enter the underworld? No way. Yonglian was so well-behaved and never did bad things when he was alive. He won't go to the underworld. He definitely won't."
Hongli said amusingly: "When did I say that he went to the underworld? What I mean is that if he reincarnated and became our son again, he would naturally not be in heaven."
Mingyu came to his senses and said in surprise: "The emperor is saying that my little brother is the reincarnation of Yong Lian?"
"It must be true. He is so filial, so how could he be willing to leave me and leave you? So, when you want Yonglian in the future, just look at my little brother."
Mingyu nodded vigorously, and then said: "Didn't the Emperor say that he had thought of several names before? Have you chosen them yet?"
Hongli said warmly: "It's just a short time, I don't have time to choose, but... I just thought of a name that best suits our son."
"What is it?" Under Mingyu's questioning, Hongli said the name in his heart, "Yong Cong."
"Yong Cong..." Mingyu muttered it several times, nodded with a smile, "I also like this name, so I named it after Yong Cong."
Hongli held her hand and said: "When Yong Cong is full moon, I will announce to the world that my and the queen's child will be named Yong Cong, and he... will inherit what Yong Lian has not inherited."
Cong is a jade cup used for sacrificial rituals, and the word "zong" means inheriting the clan's legacy. It is the same as Yonglian's name. In addition, what Hongli said again, its implication is self-evident.
This night was a pleasant one for Hongli and Mingyu. On this night, it snowed continuously for two or three days, and finally stopped, and the weather was fine.
However, all this was a heavy blow to Concubine Yu, and there were more than one. The queen gave birth to a legitimate son, and Hongli named him Yong Cong. In other words, Hongli chose this child to inherit the throne, just like the original
Same as Yong Lian; even though...she had prepared so many auspicious omens for Yong Qi, and Yong Qi was so smart, she still couldn't compare to a newly born baby in Hongli's heart, which really made her hate and annoyed.
However, compared to that, she was more concerned about the second news. She stared at Xiao Quanzi like a ghost and said, "What did you say? The emperor has found out the cause of Ji Changming's death?"
"Yes, it is said that someone killed him by piercing his ears with ice arrows." Xiao Quanzi waited for a while and asked tentatively: "Master, did Ji Jianzheng really die like this?"
Although he sent the letter to E's Mansion, he did not know the content of the letter, and he never asked about the real cause of Ji Changming's death.
Concubine Yu said with an ugly face: "Yes, I finally came up with this method. I thought no one would find out the cause of Ji Changming's death, but I didn't expect...it's really disgusting!" After a pause, she added: "Now the cause of Ji Changming's death has been revealed.
If found, the emperor will definitely believe that the disaster star is a lie and protect Nala Xiayue mother and son even more. Is it really going to be a failure this time?"
Dongmei thought for a while and said: "Master, how about I go see the master and ask him to try to spread a few more things to make it look like a disaster star is inviting trouble?"
Concubine Yu took a deep breath and said, "We can't go!"
Dongmei asked doubtfully: "Master, why is this? Are you afraid that you and the prince will steal letters like last time?"
Concubine Yu said irritably: "What I fear is not Prince He, but the Emperor."
Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi looked at each other, both full of doubts. They didn't know the intention of Concubine Yu's words. The latter sighed and said: "Last time, I talked about the relationship with Ji Changming and wanted to eliminate it."
The emperor's suspicion was originally correct, but now
After finding out that Ji Changming was murdered, the emperor will most likely be suspicious of me again. If it is discovered that I sent someone back to my parents' home again, I am afraid that the suspicion will be compounded. Although I have been prepared, but
...I wonder if I can hide this from the Emperor, alas!"
Seeing Concubine Yu's worried look, Xiao Quanzi said nervously: "Then what should we do now? Should we just let it go?"
"I don't know either." Concubine Yu stroked her aching temples and walked around the house. After walking back and forth a few times, she said: "From now on, you don't have to do anything, just like you usually do when you have nothing to do.
Got it?"
"Then what should I do over there, sir?" Xiao Quanzi was referring to Ergitu, "Also, if the emperor continues to pursue the investigation, will it..."
Concubine Yu knew what he was going to say and said coldly: "Without me, Ama and the others would not dare to do anything. As for the emperor... I and Ama have never personally participated in this matter. As long as from now on,
If you don't interfere in that matter anymore, I don't think the emperor will find anything." Even so, she still felt uneasy in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Xiao Quanzi, what I asked you to pretend to be a ghost to scare Qing Bin and the others is still there.
Are you there?"
Xiao Quanzi quickly said: "It's still in the slave's room. I'm going to burn it now."
"Wait a minute." Concubine Yu stopped him and said, "I have thought of a better way. You should put it away first, and then do as I say when you have the chance."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone from the palace knocked on the door, saying that someone from Yonghe Palace was here and asked Concubine Yu to come. Concubine Yu responded and took a carriage to Yonghe Palace.
Jin is still in her confinement. After the palace people closed the door, she said nervously: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has discovered the cause of Ji Changming's death. He will no longer believe the words of disaster stars. What should we do? Do you think the Emperor will
