I insist

Chapter 571: Fetal Movement

To avoid any further complications, Yu Huailin directly arranged a marriage for the Seventh Prince during the morning court session.

Everyone else couldn't believe the news and focused their attention on the Seventh Prince. Only Lord Yu had a slight smile on his face, looking very happy.

The Seventh Prince looked up at Yu Huailin. He hadn't expected that Yu Huailin would bestow a marriage upon him so quickly, but he knew why after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

The Seventh Prince walked to the center and looked at Yu Huailin with great respect.

At first, everyone thought the Seventh Prince would refuse, but to everyone's surprise, he agreed without the slightest reluctance.

They couldn't help but wonder if the Seventh Prince had forgotten what Lord Yu had done to him before. Thinking of this, they turned their attention to Lord Yu.

"Your Majesty, I thank you." Lord Yu also stepped forward and said with a smile.

Lord Shen gave Lord Yu a deep look, wondering what he was planning, but he dared not go against the Seventh Prince.

"Congratulations, Seventh Prince! Congratulations, Lord Yu!"

Although the officials were puzzled, they did not show it; they still had to say what needed to be said to the Seventh Prince and Lord Yu.

Now the Shen family dares not confront the Seventh Prince, but instead tries to curry favor with him, saying many nice things. However, the Seventh Prince's expression remains indifferent, showing no enthusiasm whatsoever.

After the matter was over, Yu Huailin left the court and went straight to Weiyang Palace. He wanted to stay with Song Miqiu all the time, even when dealing with official business.

Four months had passed in the blink of an eye, and Song Miqiu's belly was starting to bulge. Yu Huailin loved to touch her belly and lie on it.

Song Miqiu lowered her head slightly and stroked Yu Huailin's hair, smiling as she said, "He's not grown up yet, so he won't make any noise. You won't be able to hear his voice."

"I want to listen to it often; maybe I'll be able to hear his voice again someday."

As soon as Yu Huailin finished speaking, he suddenly felt Song Miqiu's stomach move. He looked up at her and said excitedly, "Did you feel it?"

Did you see your stomach move just now? Look, look, your stomach moved again! What's going on? Why did your stomach move?

I'll go get Ming Taicheng, I'll go get him to take a look at you.

He had never encountered such a situation before, so he was terrified and insisted that the imperial physician take a look.

Seeing him rushing out in a panic, Song Miqiu quickly stopped him, saying, "It's alright, don't worry, it's just fetal movement, it's a normal reaction."

Yu Huailin was a little taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious? Is everything really alright? It's just fetal movement?"

"Of course, don't react so strongly. Touch it and see, it will react again in a while."

Song Miqiu reached out and placed Yu Huailin's hand on her stomach, letting him continue to feel it.

Sure enough, the baby moved three or four times within an hour.

Yu Huailin was relieved. He had never experienced this before, so he was very curious and spent the whole night staring at Song Miqiu's belly, watching for fetal movements.

Moreover, he didn't sleep all night, which was quite outrageous, and Song Miqiu simply couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yu Huailin, that's enough. Go to court now and stop staring at me. Come back after you've finished dealing with everything."

Song Miqiu pushed Yu Huailin out directly, her face showing a hint of anger.

This time, Yu Huailin was not angry; on the contrary, he was very excited. Everyone in the court that day found him to be easy to talk to, not to lose his temper, and to be very gentle.

His behavior made the ministers uneasy, as they felt he was plotting something and that they might be dismissed from their posts at any moment.

Just as everyone was trembling with fear, wondering what Yu Huailin was up to, the Seventh Prince suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, not far from the capital, a number of rebels have suddenly appeared, harassing the common people and garrisoned soldiers under the banner of the previous dynasty. I urge Your Majesty to deal with this as soon as possible."

The Seventh Prince stood in the middle and looked at Yu Huailin very seriously.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Huailin's expression instantly changed, becoming very serious. This matter was very familiar, just like when he overthrew the previous emperor.

The officials were quite surprised and did not understand why the Seventh Prince would bring it up. After all, he was a prince before, and now there were remnants of the previous dynasty. Shouldn't he be with them?

After all, such a reaction is normal. The change from a noble status to a subject is a significant blow, and it's understandable that one feels uncomfortable.

However, it was obvious that the Seventh Prince had no such idea at all, and remained standing in place, waiting for Yu Huailin to come up with a plan.

"Lord Shen, what do you think should be done about this?"

Yu Huailin turned his attention to Lord Shen, eager to see what ideas he would come up with.

Lord Shen was surprised that Yu Huailin would ask him this question. He looked up at him and slowly walked out: "Your Majesty, I recommend my son..."

"Shen Wenzhang will lead the troops. My son is well-versed in military strategy and possesses decent martial arts skills; he will surely be able to resolve this matter perfectly."

Before Yu Huailin could answer Lord Shen's question, the Seventh Prince spoke up directly, "Your Majesty, I still think it would be better for me to go and see them in person."

Since they're using the name of the previous dynasty, they must have an ulterior motive. My identity is just right; perhaps I can find out what they're planning."

"Night King, please forgive my bluntness, but it is precisely because of your sensitive identity that you cannot go, although we all believe in your loyalty."

But no one can resist sweet talk, can they? If they manage to persuade the Night King to change his mind, then the generals and common people will be the ones who suffer.

Lord Shen looked at him with a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

The Seventh Prince looked at him sharply and said, "Does Lord Shen mean that I am not resolute enough and will definitely be deceived by those people to attack the Emperor?"

"Is that so? Since I have already become the Night King, it means I had no such intention at all. But Lord Shen's words show that he doesn't believe me at all."

"Your Majesty, I am merely stating the truth. Your Majesty, I, and all the officials naturally believe in the Night King, but that doesn't mean others will."

The common people naturally don't understand these things. Sending you might cause them to lose trust in the court, so it's better to let someone else handle this matter.

Lord Shen bowed slightly to the Seventh Prince and said with a smile.

The Seventh Prince frowned, intending to say something, but Yu Huailin suddenly spoke up.

"Alright, what the Night King said makes sense. After all, he's using the name of the previous dynasty, so it's fine for him to handle it. And what Lord Shen said also makes sense. In that case..."

"Then let's have both of them go, with the Night King as the overseer. What do you all think?"

After discussing it, the ministers agreed that the plan was feasible and said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise."
