Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 143: Upheaval

"In fact, there is no need to have a child. It would be just as well to find a child with excellent character and talent to be a king among the people and raise him well."

"I'm not a very responsible person and I don't necessarily fulfill my obligations as a parent."

Zhongli Yuan realized that what he said might have caused trouble to Leng Qingyi and immediately changed his statement.

"I want to have a child. I hope you can help me. I will raise the child carefully and you don't need to do anything."

"I've decided to have a child, and I won't bother you with anything in the future."

Leng Qingyi felt a little embarrassed by what Zhongli Yuan said, as if she was some scumbag who didn't recognize anyone after putting on her pants.

"That's not what I meant..."

"I know. You are using my body now. I am just using it to give birth to a child for me. You don't have to feel any burden."

"One more thing. If you want to have a child now, can you protect you and the child in the capital while I'm away fighting?"

"Don't worry, I was an emperor for a while, so I can protect myself."

"If it doesn't work out, then you can go with me."

Zhongli Yuan described the face in front of him, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.

If he could, he would naturally want to be with her all the time, but it's not possible.

War is no joke. If the rear cannot provide enough food and supplies, no matter how good the general is, he cannot win the battle.

Just as Leng Qingyi said, he would guard the base for her and give her enough confidence.

"I've thought about everything you said. I'll naturally consider my child very carefully. Now everything is ready, and I only need your cooperation."

Now that things have come to this, Leng Qingyi no longer considers anything else and gently unties the knot on Zhongli Yuan's bellyband.

Although the two had never actually put it into practice, one had perfect theoretical knowledge, and the other had already looked up a lot of information today.

There were some bumps in the road at the beginning, but after the two of them explored it, everything went smoothly.

Late at night, apart from these two people making love in the Yangxin Palace, other places were not peaceful either.

Nie Yueming slept uneasily in a wooden room behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As the chief eunuch, he could naturally rest after the emperor fell asleep without having to stay by the emperor's side all night.

A few faint cat meows completely pulled him out of his sleep.

Thinking it was just a night cat in the palace, I didn't pay much attention to it and turned over and continued to sleep.

In another hour or two he would have to get up and wait for the emperor to get up. If he didn't get enough sleep at night, he would be sleepy while on duty during the day.

But the cat's meowing did not stop and it did not move, as if it was still calling outside his room.

Nie Yueming simply buried his head in the quilt, but he could still hear the cat's intermittent meows.

and many more!

This cry!

Three long and two short, two short and three long!

That's not a cat's meow!

Realizing this, Nie Yueming quickly sat up from the bed and hurriedly got up and dressed.

After walking outside, my guess came true. It wasn't a wild cat calling, but someone doing it deliberately.

Fortunately, as the chief eunuch, he lived alone in a relatively large wooden house.

There was also a black cat in the Yangxin Palace that was sent by the imperial concubine a few days ago, but it did not attract anyone else's attention.

After Nie Yueming found the man, they whispered a few words and then followed the man and quietly left through a small door of the Yangxin Palace.

Two dim candles were lit in the main hall of Ronghua Palace late at night, and the owner of Ronghua Palace was sitting in the main seat, neatly dressed.

Kneeling below was the eunuch chief Nie Yueming, who looked a little nervous.

"Ma Lan, go down and guard it."

"Yes, master."

After Yan Ruju's only remaining confidant left, only Yan Ruju and Nie Yueming were left in the main hall of Ronghua Palace.

"Your Highness, why did you summon me here so late at night? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Yan Ruju sat in the main seat, the flickering candlelight making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

"Nie Yueming, do you remember how you got your position as the Chief Eunuch?"

Nie Yueming, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked. The fact that the imperial concubine mentioned this matter showed how important what he was going to do next was.

"To reply to the Imperial Concubine, I owe my present position to the support you gave me back then."

"Just remember it. I'm going to ask you something next and you must answer truthfully."

"Your Highness, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, what exactly happened three months ago when Concubine Yi first stayed at the Yangxin Palace?"

Nie Yueming knew which day Yan Ruju was talking about after a little thought.

There were only a few times when the emperor invited his concubines to stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace, and each time it was Concubine Yi.

He remembered the first time even more clearly. Both the Emperor and Concubine Yi were very abnormal that day.

"In reply to Concubine Yi, the Emperor had already ordered that after Concubine Yi arrived at the Yangxin Palace, all attendants and guards were to wait outside the main gate and not enter, no matter what happened."

Yan Ruju actually believed this. Judging from the emperor's behavior in those few days, there was no doubt that he was going to attack Concubine Yi that night.

"So you really stayed outside all night?"

"Your Highness, how dare we disobey the Emperor's orders?"

"Are those guards standing outside with a clear conscience? No one went in to check on the Emperor?"

"This... You are well aware of the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Concubine. It's better to have less trouble than more. Who would want to offend the Emperor?"

That was indeed the case. At that time, the Imperial Guards had people from all walks of life, but the Emperor's had very few.

Yan Ruju was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the man who was fighting alone.

"Did you notice anything unusual when you went to serve the emperor that morning?"

Nie Yueming felt that this was nothing to be ashamed of, and even if the emperor found out about it later, it wouldn't be a capital crime.

"If you want to say something is different, it is."

"Tell me what's wrong."

"When I was helping the emperor get dressed that day, I saw bruises on his arms and neck."

"Unlike his usual morning meal of porridge and small dishes, after scolding the servants in the palace, the meal he ate that morning was enough to cover the expenses of one or two days."

"It seems that since that day, the emperor has been no longer polite to the officials in the court, unlike in the past when he would often endure the opposition of the officials in silence."

Yan Ruju knew about the officials' attitude, but the others really didn't know.

Seeing Nie Yueming frowning and thinking, Yan Ruju asked again.

"Is there anything wrong with Concubine Yi?"

Nie Yueming, who was racking his brains to figure out what was wrong with the emperor, something he knew but the imperial concubine didn't, had something to say when he heard this.

"If you ask Concubine Yi, it's a very serious matter."

"I'm sure you, Noble Concubine, are aware that Concubine Yi has some flaws, but after that night, Concubine Yi seemed like a completely different person."

"His eyes are no longer dull and stagnant as before, and they have begun to show some spirit. However, his attitude towards us servants is not as warm as before, and his temperament is as cold as that of the previous emperor."

"Also, when I went to serve the Emperor that day, I saw a very serious pinch mark on Concubine Yi's neck, but I don't know what happened that night."
