"What did the imperial physician say recently?" The Queen Mother handed Ji Xi to Mo Tian and took Ling Yu's hand, "Is the fetus okay?"
"The imperial physician said there is nothing abnormal. It will be fine after a few months of taking some conditioning medicine." Speaking of the child, Ling Yu smiled faintly.
Now she is pregnant, her belly is slightly protruding, and although the fetus cannot move, she will talk to it every day in her spare time.
"That's good." The Queen Mother asked her to sit down.
Ji Yao listened on the side, frowning, how could there be nothing wrong?
What went wrong?
He looked at Mo Tian and the fetus in her arms again, and an idea rose from the bottom of his heart, but was quickly rejected by him.
How could it be possible?
There is no connection at all, he must be overthinking.
"What is the second brother thinking about? He looks so confused and tangled." Ji Yang suddenly said, his eyes stayed on Ji Yao's face, and raised his eyebrows again.
"Nothing, third brother is wrong." Ji Yao restrained his expression and turned his eyes away.
"The eldest prince looks a lot like the imperial concubine. It seems that he will become a more handsome man in the future." Ji Yang said this with a smile.
Mo Tian's heart tightened, and he held the child with more strength. Ji Xi started crying with a hoarse voice.
"Oh, you still have a temper? You have to say that you are similar to your brother, right?" Ji Yang said again, as if casually, "My brother doesn't have such a temper. Why are you so impatient? Who do you take after?"
"Your temper." Ji Yichen shook his head, "Only your princess can control you."
"Your Majesty is joking, and the prince didn't mean it." Ling Yu was terrified, how could she dare to acquiesce?
She was not a tigress, why did she want to restrain Ji Yang?
The queen mother smiled, "Okay, you two brothers are not easy to deal with, go out, let me have some peace of mind."
"Mother, Yu'er will stay here first, you have to help the child take care of it." Ji Yang even reminded her before leaving.
The queen mother pursed her lips, quite helpless.
Ling Yu's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't dare to look up.
The prince started talking nonsense again.
At noon, in the harem.
Ji Yao and Mo Tian stood opposite each other, one expressionless, the other a little angry, still suppressing himself.
"Why don't you want to see me?" Ji Yao looked at the person opposite him.
In the past, it was Mo Tian who asked to see him. This was one of the few times he took the initiative to come to him. Mo Tian actually refused to come and had to ask again and again.
"Today is the full moon of the eldest prince. There are many guests in the palace. It's inconvenient to meet." Mo Tian said lightly.
"Pay attention to your attitude when talking to me. This child was not what I expected." Ji Yao snorted coldly, a little annoyed.
"Your Highness is joking. This is the eldest prince. What does it have to do with you?" Mo Tian looked at him lightly.
In his eyes, there was scrutiny and inquiry.
Ji Yao was really asked.
Deep down, he was very resistant to this child. It was too young, and he couldn't even cry. Whether he could raise the child was another matter.
He was silent.
Mo Tian sneered, "Your Highness is really confused. Don't say such treasonous words in the future."
Ji Yao really didn't want this child. Even if he gave birth to the child, he would not admit it.
Everything was her extravagant hope.
"Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Now that your father has regained control of 200,000 troops, I want you to build an opportunity. When I ascend the throne, this child..."
Ji Yao paused, a little hesitant.
If he directly promised the position of the crown prince, it might make Mo Tian more excited, but, this child...
Before he could think it over, Mo Tian interrupted, "Your Highness has married the legitimate daughter of Bei Dinghou, and has received greater help. I won't accompany you."
"You..." Seeing that she was eager to get rid of the relationship, Ji Yao's face darkened, "You are now in the same boat with me. If I am not good, how can you be better?"
Since she gave birth to his child, he thought she was bound to Mo Tian.
She must fully support him.
"I can no longer convince my father that the prince can no longer rely on me. If the prince fails in his uprising, I will accept my fate. If he succeeds, I will not ask for anything." Mo Tian said, and turned away.
Ji Yao frowned, and a fire rose in his heart. What did Mo Tian mean?
He was afraid that he could not figure it out.
But Ji Yang knew.
Listening to Ji Chun's report, he raised his lips and continued to write, saying casually, "They are all ruthless people."
"Royal Concubine Mo used her last move. The maid has sneaked into Prince Xu's mansion. The medicine will be put in the daily soup. The medicine is magical and only works on men. Just take it for three consecutive days and you will no longer be able to conceive." Ji Chun was also surprised, "Prince, why is Royal Concubine Mo doing this? If she follows Prince Xu in the future, then won't she..."
"You don't understand this." Ji Yang put down the brush and said word by word, "Even if Ji Yao knew, her child would only be his only son. If the rebellion fails, Ji Yao will never give her up. If it succeeds, she will be the only crown prince in the future and will definitely be treated well."
"If it succeeds, then she will also..." Ji Chun didn't finish his words, and the meaning was obvious.
It is also normal to kill the mother and keep the son.
"She is gambling, gambling that Ji Yao will definitely fail." Ji Yang went out, "Let's go to the palace."
Ji Chun also hurried to follow.
*
Another month passed.
Before Ji Yao found the opportunity to persuade Mo Tian, he was caught one after another. Over the years, in order to raise money, he colluded with officials and businessmen and sold official positions.
Just after he was reinstated, he was arrested again. Every time, someone risked his life to defend him, but he also had to suffer a loss of salary and demotion. His power was reduced again and again, and he was restrained on all sides.
There were also people making trouble in the underground manor, and everything was not going well.
Moreover, it had been two months since the marriage, so why was the princess not pregnant?
As time went on, the queen mother and the concubine urged him to get pregnant. He also favored several concubines in succession, hoping to shut up these people.
