witch chaotic country

Chapter 709
After Mrs. Jiang was taken away without stopping crying, the secret guard asked Liu Yilong for instructions: "Your Majesty, do you want to spread the fact that the only son of King Pengcheng is not his own?"

Courtiers will naturally not fully support a usurper who has no heirs.But King Pengcheng is in his prime, so why is it difficult to have children in the future?Besides, this matter is most likely just gossip from women.

Before seeing Yan Daoyu's ability, Liu Yilong didn't believe it either.But he saw the concubines in the harem getting pregnant one after another.The imperial physicians have all confirmed the diagnosis one by one, even Liu Yilong has personally tested the stomachs of the concubines.

It is possible to transfer a baby in Pengcheng Palace, but it is absolutely impossible to transfer so many princes in the palace.

In the end, Liu Yilong just ordered, "Go and investigate the side concubine of King Pengcheng, and send a few more people to keep an eye on Yan Daoyu."

The hidden guard retreated under orders, Liu Yilong couldn't hold back his tiredness anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted the whole day, and when he woke up again, he saw a little servant walking in with a happy face, "Congratulations to the emperor, Beauty Wang is pregnant!"

Like a thunderbolt striking Liu Yilong's head, he was stunned for half a cup of tea before he asked, "What did you just say?"

The servant thought that the emperor was so happy, so he hurriedly returned with a louder voice: "Beauty Wang is pregnant, the imperial doctor just went to see her, and said that although the days are short, she does have signs of joy."

Liu Yilong's voice became stiff, "How long are you pregnant?"

The waiter replied, "I'm about one month pregnant."

When Liu Yilong's medicine bowl slammed down, the servant was stunned. Why didn't the emperor feel angry? !
Seeing Liu Yilong lying on the bed, panting desperately, as if he was about to hold his breath, the servant panicked, "The imperial physician! Send the imperial physician quickly!"

Fortunately, there was an imperial doctor on duty in Liu Yilong's bedroom every day, so he helped him catch his breath in time.

But even though he was rescued, it can only be regarded as half of the rescue.At this moment, Liu Yilong has obviously released more breath and less intake, and it is afraid that his time is numbered.

Now the imperial doctor can only hang Liu Yilong's life with some medicine, and told him not to be overjoyed or sad, not to work hard, but to rest in bed and rest.

Liu Yilong, however, acted as if he didn't hear a single word, and still insisted on getting up.

The palace people and the imperial physician helped, knelt, and persuaded. In the panic, another servant hurried in from outside the bedroom and knelt on the ground with a plop.

This kneeling caught everyone's attention, and Liu Yilong no longer struggled to get up, but instead lay down on the couch as if resigned to his fate, staring blankly at the top of his head.

"Let's talk..." He said angrily, "Now that things have happened, there is nothing I can't hear..."

The little servant was obviously very frightened, he was very afraid that if he said this, he would let the emperor drive west immediately, but he had to report it, trembling for a long time, the little servant finally summoned up the courage to say: Your majesty, the empress...is dead..."

"The emperor's condolences—" The palace people knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to say another word except for this sentence.

After waiting for a long while, the imperial physician wondered if Liu Yilong had passed away, and then heard Liu Yilong's voice above his head: "Let the ritual officer handle it, you must be worthy of the queen's status... Wang Meiren is pregnant, it is inevitable Collision... and the other pregnant concubines will be moved to Shanglinyuan first. We will pick them up after the funeral. I am tired, let's all retreat..."

Liu Yilong's calmness was beyond the expectations of the palace people, but to them, the most important thing was that the emperor was still breathing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and carefully exited the bedroom.

Liu Yilong clutched the quilt tightly with his hands, and let out a low growl of anger!

The hidden guard hurriedly emerged from the hiding place, knelt beside Liu Yilong and said, "The emperor calm down."

Liu Yilong glanced at the hidden guard slowly. Others might not know it, but his personal hidden guard knew it.

Since meeting Tan Daoji last time, Liu Yilong was really encouraged.He also believed that the genius doctor in Xingzhelou would be able to cure him.So since then, he has never taken Yan Daoyu's stimulating medicine.

But in order not to let King Pengcheng notice the difference, Liu Yilong still asked people to bring medicine and porcelain bottles every day.After throwing away the medicine, he casually poured some water into the porcelain bottle and asked the waiter to serve it to Yan Daoyu.

If water can make Wang Meiren pregnant, then this Yan Daoyu is really the reincarnation of Nuwa, who can pinch people with mud!
The secret guard asked in a low voice, "The emperor sent the concubines to Shanglin Garden, did he want to check thoroughly?"

Liu Yilong gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to bloodbath Pengcheng Palace and said: "Check! Be careful, don't startle the snake... I want to see how long the hornet's back needle is!"

The hidden guard retreated under the command, and he didn't seem to alarm anyone, but he was already noticed by others.

The carrier pigeons were released quickly, and immediately afterwards, the spies guarding various places released signal smoke one after another.The news of the carrier pigeon has not yet arrived, but the people lurking in various places have already started their planned actions.

At the same time, news of Tan Daoji's "defection" finally spread to the Northern Wei Dynasty.Even if King Pengcheng wanted to whitewash the peace, he could only be blamed for his recklessness. He killed Tan Chengbo in front of so many people and searched for Tan Daoji throughout the city.

Although the spies of the Northern Wei Dynasty spread the news a little later, the news of Tan Daoji's break with the Liu Song court was still rushed to the Pingcheng Palace.

The man who sent the letter beamed with joy, as if he held in his hand the news of the victory of the army.In fact, this news is no different from good news. Without Tan Daoji, Liu Song's navy would no longer be able to exert its due power, and Liu Song's city walls would be as vulnerable as paper!
However, such a great happy event failed to make Tuoba Tao show even a slight smile.Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe God's will is planning some big change.Just five days before Liu Song's empress passed away, Dou Shi, the empress dowager who was loved by the entire Northern Wei Dynasty, passed away.

The entire Pingcheng is completely plain.Tuoba Tao retired from court for three days and held a funeral for Empress Dowager Dou.No matter how the officials tried to dissuade him, Tuoba Tao insisted on standing in front of the coffin in person.

"Without the queen mother, there would be no me. The queen mother has never married for me. If I don't even fulfill this last bit of filial piety, I will be in vain as a son of man, let alone a king."

Tuoba Tao's filial piety was greatly appreciated by civil officials, but Cui Hao seemed particularly worried.

As a close minister of the emperor, he is well aware of Tuoba Tao's rebellion.Now the only empress dowager who can suppress Tuoba Tao is gone.Cui Hao really didn't dare to imagine, if Tuoba Tao knew that Tan Daoji had arrived at Qiuchi, would he directly lead his army to kill him.

Cui Hao didn't dare to take the risk, so he could only suppress the news for now.He racked his brains to find a way to appease Tuoba Tao, but he also knew that no matter how much he uttered lotus flowers, he couldn't keep Tuoba Tao from getting angry.I'm afraid there will be a few more ghosts who died in vain in this palace.
