Chapter 525 Be Prepared to Protect Her for the Rest of Her Life

Whether or not his legs would be broken, this news could not be concealed. After all, the imperial physician had already checked his pulse, and the palace maids in Changming Palace also knew the good news.

Even if Chu Qinghuang and Fu Cang did not tell her, Rong Yu would soon know it.

So the next morning, Her Majesty once again announced a three-day absence from court, and ordered all memorials to be sent to Changming Palace. If there were urgent matters that needed to be reported in person, the imperial concubine would be asked to handle them.

Although no clear reason was given for the absence from court this time, the ministers could understand it. After all, news in the palace had always spread very fast. As long as it was not a secret that was deliberately concealed, the ministers could not hide the slightest movement.

The ministers had heard that Her Majesty summoned the imperial physician to check her pulse last night and confirmed that she was pregnant. On the way to the palace in the morning, after a while of whispering, they basically knew everything they should know.

So the absence from court was not surprising.

The ministers accepted the order without objection, and suppressed their dissatisfaction with the selection yesterday.

Originally, they were planning to admonish Her Majesty at the morning court and give some opinions on the selection.

They wanted to ask Her Majesty what the criteria for selecting the imperial husband were and why those people were eliminated yesterday?

However, they did not expect Her Majesty to have good news so soon. The ministers were caught off guard. Thinking that there was only one imperial concubine in the harem for the time being, there was no need to ask whose child Her Majesty was pregnant with.

But being pregnant at this time was obviously not good news to be happy about for some ministers with ideas, because it meant that the selection would come to an end again - at least they might not consider this issue again within a year.

The ministers had different ideas in their minds, but Chu Qinghuang had no time to pay attention to their ideas. After breakfast, he ordered Chu Xuanyi to select the imperial guards and leave the palace in a sedan chair.

There was no bright yellow ceremonial guard, no canopy and feather fan, just an ordinary sedan chair, escorted by a hundred imperial guards, all the way to the villa where Rong Yu and Nan Xi were staying temporarily.

Rong Yu and Nan Xi had already heard the news and were thinking about what excuse to go to the palace to see her, but they didn't expect Chu Qinghuang and Fu Cang to arrive at the other courtyard.

The emperor was overjoyed to hear that his daughter had arrived. Before he finished his meal, he hurriedly took Concubine Xian to greet her: "Qinghuang!"

Concubine Xian smiled at Chu Qinghuang and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Chu Qinghuang looked at the scene in front of her and didn't know who to call first for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said: "I have something important to tell you. Go sit down in the hall first."

The emperor's eyes fell on Chu Qinghuang's face and looked her up and down: "You are becoming more and more like a king of a country. This demeanor and majesty are almost the same as when I was a king."

As soon as these words came out, Rong Yu and Nan Xi's expressions suddenly became subtle.

Even Concubine Xian looked at him with complicated eyes, wondering how he could say this without changing his expression.

Chu Qinghuang looked calm, "Father, you are too kind."

The Concubine Xian took the hand of the retired emperor and turned to the main hall.

"How are you recently? Are you feeling unwell?" Nan Xi held her daughter's hand and asked in a low voice, "Should we put Lingchuan in the Imperial Hospital temporarily so that we can take care of him?"

Chu Qinghuang shook her head, "Don't worry about me, mother. There are no symptoms yet, but she can't stand the smell of greasy meat. Lingchuan will stay in the ticket office first. The imperial doctors in the palace are also very reliable, so don't be too nervous."

Nan Xi nodded, "Let's keep the process of the wedding ceremony in August simple. Everyone who should come will come, but the process can be simplified. It's too complicated and your body can't bear it."

Chu Qinghuang nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I won't use the child to show off."

The retired emperor and the Concubine Xian walked in front and entered the hall first. Nan Xi and Chu Qinghuang lagged behind one step, and the mother and daughter talked in a low voice.

Rong Yu walked behind and glanced at Fu Cang. Fu Cang felt pressured by him and almost wanted to apologize, but Rong Yu said lightly: "Are you ready to protect her for the rest of her life?" Fu Cang was startled, then nodded slowly: "Yes." "Protecting her means not only protecting her, but also protecting your children and her kingdom." Rong Yu's voice was calm, but full of an unignorable sense of oppression, "If you take a wrong step, you won't even have room for regret." Fu Cang pursed his lips: "Master, don't worry, I won't give myself the opportunity to regret. I will protect her and our children for the rest of her life." Rong Yu looked at Chu Qinghuang who walked into the main hall and said lightly: "If your child is too dull, or inherits the stupid traits of the Xiqi royal family, you can give it to me to raise." As soon as these words came out, Fu Cang's expression froze, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment. Inherit the stupid traits of the Xiqi royal family? This doesn't seem impossible...
