After returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Hancheng first had Qian Chunrong check Lin Jiabao's pulse. Only after confirming that Guai Bao's condition was normal did he feel at ease.

Xuanyuan Hancheng went to the imperial study to report to his imperial father on the state of the patrol.

"This time, it was this son's carelessness that caused imperial father to fall ill because of this son." Xuanyuan Hancheng said apologetically to his imperial father.

"It's all Prince Li's fault for being crafty. Fortunately, Akihiro Zhaohong really did die this time, preventing future troubles." The emperor asked Xuanyuan Hancheng with concern: "How is the Crown Prince's injury?"

"Imperial father, please be at ease. It's only a small injury, but it's already healed."

Xuanyuan Hancheng replied. Then he said with a face full of smiles: "This son also has good news to report to imperial father. Vice Prince Lin Jiabao is pregnant. It's been almost a month."

"Good!

Good! "

The emperor was also very happy to hear this good news. The Crown Prince's heirs had always been a sore point for him.

This Vice Prince Lin Jiabao really was blessed.

"This means that there should be no problems with your body, right?"

"Yes, this son is completely healed.

This son has caused imperial father and imperial mother to worry for this son these past few years. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng said apologetically to his imperial father. These past few years, in order to wait for Guai Bao to grow up, he had hidden some things from his imperial father and imperial mother, causing them to worry endlessly for him.

In the afternoon, Xuanyuan Hancheng took Guai Bao to Yong Shou Palace in a carriage.

"Cheng'er, Jia Bao, quickly come over. Let imperial mother take a good look." Empress was very happy to see the Crown Prince and Lin Jiabao come.

Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao went forward. Empress pulled Jia Bao in front of her: "You just came back today, so you should rest for a while. This empress sees that your complexions are quite good.

The patrol this time was really thrilling. Fortunately, it was more daunting than dangerous.

I heard that Cheng'er had to thank you, Jia Bao!

Jia Bao … This consort must reward you properly! "

"Haha, then Imperial Mother must reward Jia Bao heavily today …" Xuanyuan Hancheng smiled and hugged the Guai Bao as he spoke to his Imperial Mother.

"Jia Bao is one month pregnant."

"That's great, Jia Bao!"

Sit down. "Empress was very excited when he heard the good news. It had been a long time since the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace had a child.

Empress was always worried when she thought of this. Now, everything was fine. Jia Bao was pregnant.

Lin Jiabao obediently sat down in front of Empress. The more Empress looked at Jia Bao's obedient appearance, the more she liked him.

She then asked with concern, "Jia Bao, how is your health? Did you have a good trip?"

"This son has already asked Doctor Qian to check Jia Bao's pulse. Jia Bao's health is very good." Xuanyuan Hancheng replied.

Empress was relieved when she heard this. She then said to Lin Jiabao, "Jia Bao, you're not normal now. You must be extra careful, especially in the first few months.

Oh right, your palace maids don't have experience in this area. This won't do. This consort will send a mama to take care of you later. "

"Thank you, Empress …" Lin Jiabao thanked her happily when he heard that Empress would send a mama to take care of him.

"Child, why are you still calling me Empress Empress? Call me Imperial Mother." Empress smiled and said to Jia Bao.

"This …" Lin Jiabao looked at Xuanyuan Hancheng.

"Hurry up and call me that … Imperial Mother is waiting." Xuanyuan Hancheng smiled and encouraged him.

"Imperial Mother." Lin Jiabao obediently changed the way he addressed her. His soft voice entered Empress's heart.

"Ah … good child!" Empress patted Lin Jiabao's head.

Empress then said to Xuanyuan Hancheng, "Cheng 'er, you should also be careful. Don't make any mistakes this time."

"Yes.

This son will be careful. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng thought of the child he was not fated to have in his previous life. He secretly swore to himself that he would not repeat the same mistake in this life.

"Your father fainted last time and injured his vitality.

Recently, he has been feeling tired. He drank a lot of the imperial physician's decoctions, but he still doesn't seem to be getting better.

Cheng 'er, it's good that you're back. You can share some of the burden with your father. "Empress told Xuanyuan Hancheng about the emperor's physical condition. She was a bit worried.

"This son will definitely share some of father's burden." Xuanyuan Hancheng was also a bit worried when he heard this.

"Also, your younger brother is not easy to worry about. He spends all his time in the Northern Barracks and doesn't go back to the palace.

He feels very guilty about Prince Li's surprise attack this time. He's madly practicing martial arts as if he's possessed.

You should go and persuade him. He's about to get married … "Empress then talked about the Second Prince Xuanyuan Hanqi's recent situation.

"This matter can't be blamed on him. This son will go and persuade him." Xuanyuan Hancheng was thinking about going to the Northern Barracks tomorrow to talk to his younger brother.

After Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao returned to Pingle Park, Mama Qiu came to report the situation in the Eastern Palace while they were away. Then, Mama Qiu told Lin Jiabao about some of the Eastern Palace's matters.

"Mama Qiu, Vice Prince Lin is currently pregnant.

In the future, you can take care of ordinary matters on your own. Don't let him worry about it. "Xuanyuan Hancheng thought for a bit and said:" Don't leak this news out for now.

Also, in the future, the food that Vice Prince Lin eats will be prepared by the people in Pingle Park's small kitchen. "

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Congratulations, Vice Prince Lin." Mama Qiu congratulated the Crown Prince and Vice Prince Lin.

"This old servant will definitely make the appropriate arrangements."

The next day, Mama Gui sent by Her Highness the Empress arrived. Mama Gui was around forty years old. She was slightly plump and was also an old nanny in the palace.

She was proficient in medical knowledge and was very skilled in taking care of pregnant women.

"Greetings to Vice Prince Lin." Mama Gui greeted Lin Jiabao.

"Mama Gui, please rise." Lin Jiabao had always been very respectful towards the older nannies.

On the first day that Mama Gui came to Pingle Park, she brought Shu Qin, Shu Ya, and the others to clean up Pingle Park.

She changed a lot of things that she thought were dangerous or taboo.

She removed all the incense in Pingle Park and even checked Lin Jiabao's clothes. She was very careful and meticulous. Then, she formulated a recipe for Vice Prince Lin with Shu Ya. Every day, she checked the ingredients required. She was very attentive.

Xuanyuan Hancheng was also very satisfied with Mama Gui sent by his imperial mother. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Mama Gui actually wanted him to sleep in separate rooms from Guai Bao. He didn't care about this point.

He also understood Mama Gui's meaning, but he couldn't do it if she wanted him to sleep in separate rooms from Guai Bao.

He already couldn't get used to the days without Guai Bao in his arms.

Mama Gui saw that the Crown Prince was so determined and couldn't do anything about it. She could only remind the Crown Prince from time to time to restrain himself.

On this day, Xuanyuan Hancheng went to the Northern Military Barracks and saw Xuanyuan Hanqi, who was training with the soldiers.

Seeing that his younger brother had become more tanned and stronger, he smiled and said, "Second Younger Brother has become much stronger. You're almost taller than Imperial Brother."

Xuanyuan Hanqi saw that the Crown Prince had arrived and walked to the side with him.

"Imperial Brother, I'm sorry.

Because of my carelessness, Imperial Brother was put in danger during this tour. "

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at his younger brother's guilty expression and comforted him, "It's okay. Imperial Brother is fine.

You're still young, so it's inevitable that you don't handle things well.

Go back to the palace. Imperial Father's health hasn't been good recently. Imperial Mother is also very worried about you.

When you go back, come with me to court and help Imperial Father.

Also, it's almost time for you to get married. Go back to the palace and prepare well. "

"Ai!

Imperial Brother, you know that I hate these things the most. "When Xuanyuan Hanqi heard that his imperial brother wanted to go to court and help Imperial Father handle some government affairs, he felt a headache.

He would rather stay in the Northern Barracks …

After Xuanyuan Hancheng returned, he quickly returned to court.

He wrote a report about the Peach Blossom Flood Project in the Luo River.

He brought up some problems in the construction of the canal. Based on his previous life's experience, Xuanyuan Hancheng quickly came up with a solution.

After the ministers heard this, they were full of praise for the Crown Prince's wisdom and wisdom. They were deeply convinced.

With the Crown Prince's help, the Emperor felt a lot more relaxed.

His health also improved.

Under Mama Gui's meticulous care, Lin Jiabao smoothly passed the first few months.

His whole body became rounder and his complexion was very good. His rosy face looked even more lovable.

Xuanyuan Hancheng liked him very much. When he came back from court in the morning, he would always kiss him on the cheek.

The Empress would often reward Lin Jiabao. Top-quality tonics and bird's nest would be sent to Pingle Park like water.

Xuanyuan Hancheng would also accompany Guai Bao to the Yong Shou Palace to sit for a while.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, Xuanyuan Hancheng helped Guai Bao attend.

When everyone saw the Crown Prince and Vice Prince Lin wearing the same style of purple robes, they praised in their hearts. They really were a dazzling couple.

Vice Prince Lin's robes were slightly loose at the waist. When they looked at his slightly protruding belly, how could they not understand?

Everyone came forward to congratulate the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince.

For a moment, everyone's eyes gathered on Lin Jiabao. This Vice Prince Lin was really a powerful person.

In the past few years, not only did he have the Crown Prince's special favor, even the Empress cared for him a lot.

Now, Vice Prince Lin was pregnant. It should be known that the Crown Prince didn't have a legitimate son or a concubine-born son.

If Vice Prince Lin could have a son in one go, then he would be the Emperor's eldest grandson.

The Yu Clan and the Song Clan watched the Crown Prince and Vice Prince Lin being affectionate. The Song Clan didn't have any special reaction, but the Yu Clan seemed to be gnashing their teeth.

What eldest grandson, if only her son was still alive … … The Yu Clan bitterly thought.

When Lin Jiabao was five months pregnant, his belly was already a bit obvious.

Doctor Qian took Lin Jiabao's pulse every day. Lin Jiabao's condition was very good, and his reactions weren't big.

Lin Jiabao's appetite was also very good. Everything he ate tasted good.

Xuanyuan Hancheng was happy to see Guai Bao suffer less. He often told Guai Bao's belly that he was a good child and that he would properly reward him when he came out.

At the end of November, the Emperor suddenly fainted during a court meeting, causing a huge uproar in the court.

This time, the Emperor's illness was very aggressive, and he remained unconscious.

Xuanyuan Hancheng flew into a rage at the imperial physicians. "How do you normally take Imperial Father's pulse?!

Now you're saying that you can't do anything, what's the use of having you?! "Looking at the unconscious Imperial Father, Xuanyuan Hancheng had a bad premonition.

He originally thought that in this life, Imperial Father would be able to live forever … …

Empress, all the princes, and concubines were extremely anxious. They all hoped that the Emperor would wake up soon.

After the Emperor woke up two days later, he only summoned the Crown Prince, Empress, and the Second Prince.

"Imperial Father … … You're finally awake." Xuanyuan Hancheng softly called out to his Imperial Father.

"Imperial Father … …" Empress choked out as she called out to the Emperor.

"I'm just a bit tired, Zitong … … I must have scared you." Akinori Zhaoshen comforted Empress.

The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince and asked, "In the past few days, the court … …"

"Everything in the court is fine, Imperial Father, please rest assured." Xuanyuan Hancheng replied.

"Very good, I'm relieved to hand over the Xuanyuan Empire to you. You'll do better than me." The Emperor looked deeply at the Crown Prince.

"Imperial Father, don't say that. I still have a lot of shortcomings … … Imperial Father, you can rest assured and recover soon."

"I know my own body … … I'm tired and want to have a good rest. I believe that you won't let me down." After working hard on the throne for half of his life, Akinori Zhaoshen felt tired.

He thought about the fight for the throne in his early years. After becoming the Emperor, he was busy dealing with the Xue family and Prince Li. After so many years, he was tired of the throne.

Fortunately, he already had an excellent heir.

The Emperor held Empress's hand and said weakly, "Don't cry, Zitong … … Let's arrange Qi 'er's marriage earlier."

"Imperial Father … …" The Second Prince Xuanyuan Hanqi's eyes turned red. His Imperial Father was sick, yet he was still thinking about his marriage.

"Your Majesty, you will get better …" The Empress nodded in agreement after hearing the Emperor's words. She understood the Emperor's intention and also wanted to use this marriage to chase away the bad luck, hoping that the Emperor would get better.

"I'll arrange it for Qi 'er."

The Emperor thought about it and said to the Crown Prince, "Crown Princess … …"

Xuanyuan Hancheng understood the Emperor's thoughts and knelt in front of his Imperial Father's bed.

"Please forgive me for being unfilial. In this life, I only want Vice Prince Lin. I won't marry anyone else."

"Crown Prince, you … … Zhen knows that Vice Prince Lin is a good person. Not to mention balancing the court, but in terms of children … … I don't know if Vice Prince Lin's child will be a boy or a girl. After all, he is a Shun 'er. Perhaps he will only have one child in his life.

Have you thought about it? It's the Emperor's responsibility to have children. "The Emperor sighed. He had already noticed the Crown Prince's feelings for Vice Prince Lin.

"Imperial Father … … Son and Vice Prince Lin are still young … …" Xuanyuan Hancheng said honestly to his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. "Son really has no other choice. My heart can't hold anyone else. Imperial Father, please help me.

If there's no heir, there's still Imperial Younger Brother!

Son is the legitimate son of Imperial Younger Brother. I definitely won't let the country be without an heir. Imperial Father, please rest assured. "Xuanyuan Hancheng promised.

"Imperial Older Brother … …" Xuanyuan Hanqi was very surprised to hear his Imperial Older Brother's words.

"Ah … … Zitong, look at our Cheng 'er. He's like Zhen. He's also infatuated with love … … He did what Zhen always wanted to do but didn't dare to do. He's better than Zhen!" The Emperor said to Empress affectionately, "In the following days, Zhen will also accompany you well."

"Yes." Empress was already choked with sobs.

The next day, the Emperor went to court with his illness. In the morning court, he announced that the throne would be given to the Crown Prince.

Although the ministers were shocked, it was within their expectations. They quickly kowtowed to the new Emperor.

The Xuanyuan dynasty welcomed an excellent Emperor. He would lead the Xuanyuan Empire to glory … …
