Ail hour later, when Shen Yao returned to Jade Garden, he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

The Grand Princess Imperial and Princess Kang Le stood guard in the courtyard with anxious expressions.

Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Ji Zhao’s scream!

Clang!

The pastry in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

“What? What’s going on?” Shen Yao asked anxiously. “Grandmother, Mother, Zhaozhao… Why is she shouting so loudly?”

“Most women give birth like this!” Even though Princess Kang Le’s tone was calm, Shen Yao could still see her trembling hands.

Hence, Shen Yao rushed into the inner room without thinking—

“Madam, work harder! We can already see the child’s head!”

Ji Zhao, who was lying on the delivery bed, used up all her strength again!

“Shen Yao! You bastard! It hurts! Boohoo!”

“Zhaozhao, I’m here! I’m here!”

In a daze, Ji Zhao heard Shen Yao’s voice, so she pulled the man’s arm without hesitation and bit him fiercely!

When she felt that she was so exhausted that she was about to lose consciousness, she seemed to have heard a loud cry—

The next morning, when Ji Zhao opened her eyes, her thoughts were in a daze.

She seemed to have dreamed that she had given birth?

She looked down at her flat stomach and fell silent.

That dream was not a dream.

Ji Zhao subconsciously turned her head and saw Shen Yao sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed.

The dark circles under his eyes were obvious.

“Husband…” Ji Zhao called out softly.

“Zhaozhao?” Shen Yao suddenly woke up when he heard the voice. “Zhaozhao, you’re awake? Does it still hurt?”

Ji Zhao shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Are you hungry?”

“Hungry…” Ji Zhao pouted in grievance. “I’m so hungry that I don’t even have the strength to speak.”

“Mother asked the kitchen to prepare ginseng chicken soup. Wait a moment, I’ll bring it over.”

“Okay.”

After Shen Yao left, Ji Zhao finally noticed the red swaddling clothes lying on the side of the bed.

“Did 1 really give birth to this child?” Ji Zhao looked at that wrinkled little face and could not help but feel a little suspicious.

After all, her and Shen Yao’s looks were the best of the best!

Why was the child she gave birth to so ugly? He was so red and wrinkled like an old man.

Princess Kang Le, who happened to walk into the inner room, heard her daughter’s muttering and helplessly held her forehead.

Princess Kang Le, who was both angry and amused, took the swaddled baby out of Ji Zhao’s arms and said helplessly, “All newborn children look like this. When they grow up after confinement, they will become round and tender.”

“Really?” Ji Zhao didn’t quite believe it. “Mother, are you coaxing me?”

Princess Kang Le was caught between laughter and tears.

“Child, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know after confinement.” Princess Kang Le thought for a moment and said, “Yesterday, when you gave birth, you bullied Shen Yao quite badly. The teeth marks on his arm are really shocking. Aren’t you usually the most protective of your husband? Why did you pour all your anger on Shen Yao yesterday? Also, your grandmother and 1 think Shen Yao is very good. It’s difficult to find such a husband even with a lantern. Don’t bully him too much, understand?”

“Me? Bullying Shen Yao? Teeth marks?” Ji Zhao was confused.

After she carefully recalled it, her heart ached.

When Shen Yao walked in with the ginseng chicken soup, Ji Zhao rolled up his sleeves without a word.

Looking at the bite marks on his arm, Ji Zhao’s heart ached and she cried.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yao did not expect her to cry for no reason. He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in a panic and asked anxiously, “Zhaozhao, the book says that after a woman gives birth, she must recuperate well. She must not cry, or she will have confinement illness in the future.”

“Does it hurt?” Ji Zhao hurriedly raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. She pointed at the teeth marks on his arm and asked softly.

“It doesn’t hurt!”

“Liar!” Ji Zhao said angrily, “You’re already bruised, and you’re still spouting nonsense!”

“It really doesn’t hurt.” Shen Yao quickly held her hand and said gently, “Compared to Zhaozhao’s labor pains, it really doesn’t hurt.”

Ji Zhao’s eyes reddened again.

“Shen Yao…”

“Alright, stop crying, okay?” Shen Yao coaxed patiently. “Zhaozhao, drink this ginseng chicken soup first and close your eyes to rest, okay?”

“Okay…”

An hour later, Ji Zhao fell into a deep sleep again.

Just as Immortal Crane had said, Ji Zhao’s body was weak to begin with. After giving birth, she would often fall into deep sleep. It was only after half a month that she gradually returned to normal.

In this half a month, the capital had also undergone earth-shattering changes.

Emperor Jingyuan’s long illness was actually secretly planned by the Empress!

The Empress was stripped of her title and given a cup of poisonous wine.

As for the Empress’ Second Prince, he was also demoted to a commoner and sent to the western suburbs to guard the Imperial Tombs. He was never allowed to step out of the Imperial Tombs for the rest of his life.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the Double Ninth Festival.

On this day 35 years ago, it was also the day of the wedding of Emperor Jingyuan and the Empress.

“That day, the entire capital city was decorated in a festive red color. His Majesty got someone to carry the dowry to the Grand Tutor’s residence. It was even more dazzling…” In the Feng Luan Hall, the empress looked at the indifferent Emperor Jingyuan and the smile on her face was filled with bitterness. “I’ve slept with His Majesty for 35 years, but I don’t know if I’ve ever entered His Majesty’s heart. Why did His Majesty insist on marrying me back then?”

“Mingchan.” Emperor Jingyuan looked at her deeply. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated. “All these years, the person in my heart isn’t you. You know very well…”

Whether it was the Empress or the other concubines in the harem.

In Emperor Jingyuan’s eyes, those women were substitutes for the person in his heart.

“Your Majesty, you’re really cruel!” The empress clutched her chest and closed her eyes in pain. “Ever since I entered the harem, my hands have been stained with countless blood. I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but it’s not fair! Clearly… clearly I met you first. Why isn’t the person in your heart me?”

“Mingchan, there is no such thing as first come, first served,” Emperor Jingyuan lowered his eyes and said indifferently.

“Heh.” The empress sneered. The disdain in her voice was self-evident. “His Majesty’s words are dignified! However, His Majesty is destined to love but not get it. Does His Majesty really think that Concubine Rong doesn’t know how the Young Master Gu she loved back then died?”

“Concubine Rong and Little General Gu were childhood sweethearts, but what about His Majesty? As the crown prince, His Majesty did such a disgusting thing as snatching his friend’s wife! Does His Majesty really think that Concubine Rong died from a long illness? No, that’s not the case. She hates His Majesty, so she doesn’t take medicine. That’s why she used such an extreme method to end her own life!”

“It’s not that she can’t survive.. She’s determined to die! His Majesty is the ruler of a country, but he forced a good woman into prostitution and snatched the wife of his trusted minister! Compared to what I’ve done, because of the men of your Zhou family, be it the great ancestors or you, you’re the most disgusting and shameless people!”
