Chapter 168 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (8)
Le Yan led Ruan Ruan to the Imperial Study.
Now she can come and go freely in the Qianqing Palace.
Sitting on the dragon throne in front of the imperial desk, Le Yan immediately noticed the neatly arranged memorials.
She casually picked up several memorials from court officials, urging the emperor to hold a grand selection of concubines and vehemently criticizing the empress for being so jealous. Le Yan's lips tightened as she read them, and she really wanted to find someone to beat up to vent her anger.
Ruan Ruan waited eagerly beside her, completely unmoved by her behavior of sitting on the dragon throne, as if she didn't even notice.
Her burning gaze was fixed solely on her beloved Empress. Only when she noticed the Empress's pale face did she glance at the opened folded document.
When her eyes fell on the words on it, Ruan Ruan's face immediately darkened.
She clenched her fists, mentally calling out to the Childbirth System: "System, who are these ministers who are rebuking the Empress?"
These people dared to be disrespectful to the Empress and displease her; they really need to be taught a lesson!
Ruan Ruan's eyes were deep, and a turbulent mix of emotions welled up inside her.
The childbirth system was completely unaware of this, and after obediently investigating, it told her the answer.
[The letter that criticized the Empress for violating the seven grounds for divorce—being both jealous and infertile—was submitted by Prime Minister Wang Fu. He was a veteran official of two reigns and had a daughter whom he was grooming for the Empress's position.]
[The following letter is from the Imperial Censor Gao Yi. He has a younger sister who is in love with the "Chosen One" and wants to enter the palace as a concubine. However, the "Chosen One" is using the Empress's name to avoid the selection of concubines, which is getting in their way. Therefore, the Empress has become a thorn in their side.]
[The last letter was presented by Grand Tutor Sun Feng, the Empress's biological father. To preserve his reputation, he would periodically submit memorials vehemently criticizing his daughter, and then request the chosen one of destiny to hold a talent selection.]
With each word the procreation system uttered, Ruan Ruan's face darkened further.
In the end, he was as black as Zhang Fei and Li Kui.
Especially after hearing that her Empress's own father was constantly stepping on her Empress's reputation to insult her, Ruan Ruan could no longer contain her anger.
If she had a knife, she could fly out of the palace right now and wreak havoc.
Le Yan: "Ruan Ruan."
Ruan Ruan was so angry that she almost didn't hear Le Yan calling her.
Fortunately, the childbirth system was very capable and quickly reminded her.
[Host, the Empress is calling you.]
Ruan Ruan snapped out of her daze, a smile spreading across her face as she looked intently at Le Yan. "Your Majesty, please speak."
Le Yan didn't look at her, but instead threw away the memorial in her hand and asked, "You said you have a child-rearing system, right?"
Ruan Ruan nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
She blinked, somewhat puzzled. Why was the Empress asking this?
Could it be... that Her Majesty the Empress wants to have a child?
Having just read those memorials that angrily denounced the Empress for being unable to bear children, Ruan Ruan subconsciously assumed that those memorials had provoked the Empress, and her brows furrowed instantly.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then silently closed it again.
He simply looked at Leyan, waiting for her instructions.
Then, Le Yan asked in a relaxed, even somewhat casual tone, "Could you get me a fertility pill?"
Ruan Ruan tilted her head, remaining silent.
Le Yan looked at her curiously, "What's wrong? Can't you?"
Ruan Ruan shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Does Your Majesty want to have a child?"
Childbirth is very painful, but if the Empress wants a child, she will give birth to one.
Anyway, she has a childbirth system, so having a baby after ten months of pregnancy is easier than going to the toilet.
She got pregnant in a flash, and gave birth in a flash. Apart from the ten months of pregnancy in between, there was no other torment.
Ruan Ruan explained to Le Yan in a very serious manner, almost as if she wanted to grab her hand and earnestly say, "Let me give birth! I want to have a baby for Your Majesty!"
Le Yan looked at her, unable to suppress a smile, "I won't have children."
"You won't have children either."
She patted Ruan Ruan's shoulder, gently stroking the dragon throne beneath her with her other hand, her smile deepening, "Whoever wants a child should give birth to one."
Ruan Ruan was stunned, and for a moment she did not understand what Le Yan meant.
But when he touched the jade seal, he suddenly realized the truth.
Your Majesty, it's like you two are telepathically connected!
Just as she wanted the dog emperor to have a child, the empress also wanted the dog emperor to suffer.
Even the Empress herself has already begun to take action!
Ruan Ruan was immediately delighted. Without asking about anything else or where the emperor was, she quickly started using the child-rearing system, afraid of wasting time.
"Quick! Tong'er! I want to redeem 'One Birth, Eighteen Treasures'!"
Since it's the emperor's child anyway, might as well have more. Having more at once will allow him to rest for a while.
Ruan Ruan smiled broadly, which made Le Yan look at her, but she seriously suspected that Ruan Ruan was up to something.
I couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Ruan Ruan didn't hide anything: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the auspicious omen of having eighteen babies in one birth?"
Twins (male and female) are already considered auspicious, so wouldn't eighteen twins be the most auspicious of all?!
Looking at the incredibly excited Ruan Ruan, Le Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Eighteen babies in one pregnancy?
Will Li Yanxiu die before he can give birth?
Le Yan originally wanted Li Yanxiu to have several children, keeping him alive so he would have children every year, but now that Ruan Ruan had spoken up, she was preparing to have eighteen babies in one pregnancy, which really caught her off guard.
She remained silent for a long time before asking, "Can he deliver eighteen babies in one pregnancy?"
We don't want to end up with nineteen deaths from one unborn child; that would be a terrible sin.
Ruan Ruan was stunned when she heard this, clearly not expecting it.
She hurriedly asked the childbirth system, which was browsing the system store for the "Eighteen Treasures in One Pregnancy" pill, and repeated Le Yan's question: "System, can you guarantee that Li Yanxiu will give birth to the child safely?"
The Childbirth System was busy searching for pills, but managed to steal a moment to answer.
【Of course! The "Eighteen Treasures in One Pregnancy" medicine is highly effective and has its own protective function for the mother. Besides, that's a child of destiny, someone with great fortune. How could they possibly die so easily? You're underestimating a child of destiny.】
After saying that, he took out the pill. The procreation system looked at the price of the pill and felt extremely pained by the 99 points it cost.
But there was nothing it could do. It had already said that the pills would be on its account, and it couldn't go back on its word and make its host pay for them on credit!
Besides, even if it could back out, its host doesn't have 99 points to buy on credit!
The birth system, though feeling the pinch, bought the pills and they appeared in Ruan Ruan's hands in the blink of an eye.
She quickly presented it to Leyan, "Your Majesty, this is the fertility pill."
"Don't worry, the system said it will ensure the mother's safety and there won't be any situation where one unborn child dies nineteen times."
Hearing Ruan Ruan's assurance, Le Yan smiled and nodded, "Heaven cherishes life, so this kind of thing, where one unborn child dies nineteen times, won't happen. That's really great."
In this way, she could feed the medicine to Li Yanxiu without any psychological burden.
With a slight glint in her eyes, Le Yan took the fertility pill and stood up. "Ruan Ruan, go find Shao Yao and have her take you to Weiyang Palace. From now on, you don't need to stay in Qianqing Palace anymore."
The original intention of keeping Ruan Ruan in Qianqing Palace was to keep an eye on Li Yanxiu and make trouble for him.
But now that the emperor has changed, there is no need to keep Ruan Ruan in the Qianqing Palace.
People who wield such a powerful weapon as the system feel more at ease keeping it under their watchful eyes.
