Ye Kang came out very confidently, and said: "The emperor has been on the throne for a long time, but there is no heir in the palace. Although I am the father of the queen in the palace, I have to consider the choice of the national heir."

Ye Kang had only said a few words, and Wen Zheng had already guessed what he meant.

Thinking of the beauties presented to him a few days ago, Wen Zheng's eyes flashed with boredom, and then he saw Ye Chu's pale face when he was woken up by the maid in the morning in his mind.

If it wasn't for Ye Kang's great power, if it wasn't for Ye Chu being in danger in the palace...

These chaotic thoughts flashed by, Wen Zheng pursed his lips, looked at Ye Kang who was pressing forward, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Xiang doesn't need to mention this again, I already know your thoughts, but the Queen of the Palace has Pregnant..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court hall was shocked.

Except for a few people who had known the news in advance, or had already guessed, the ministers all showed expressions of surprise.

What a big deal it is for the empress to be pregnant, but the emperor kept the news so dead!

If Ye Kang hadn't taken the initiative to ask the big draft girls to fill the harem, I'm afraid the emperor would continue to hide the news... This feeling of not being trusted made everyone feel a little chilled, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also the young emperor in front of him. Signs of walking on eggshells.

A little emotion appeared in the eyes of several old courtiers, saying that Ye Xiang is so aggressive, it is really not the duty of a courtier.

Of course, they dare not say this, they can only mutter in their hearts.

But what a shrewd person Ye Kang is, he just glanced out of the corner of his eyes when he lowered his head, and he already saw the disapproval of him from the expressions of the ministers around him.

Thinking that Ye Chu was finally pregnant, and the child born would also carry the blood of the previous dynasty, Ye Kang was in a good mood for a while, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those trivial matters, so he nodded to Wen Zheng.

Now he just wants to protect Ye Chu's child from plotting big schemes, so there is no need for a draft girl.

"Since this is the case, the minister will not say more."

As Ye Kang retreated to his position as the head of civil servants, Qin Qi's expression changed for a while.

Ye Chusheng was the queen of the middle palace, and the news of his pregnancy was exposed at this time, which was a big blow to his daughter Qin Xinrou who was in the palace.

Although Qin Xinrou's position as Concubine Shu in the palace is unshakable, coupled with her father's power in the previous dynasty...but if a woman in this palace has no heirs, how can she stand for a long time?

After all, it was just a flash in the pan, hoping for the emperor's mercy.

Wen Zheng sat on the dragon chair and had a panoramic view of the expressions of the officials below. He looked at Qin Qi's appearance and felt a little more worried. Ye Kang called back.

One monarch and one minister sat down in the imperial study, Wen Zheng looked around, and waved the maids around him back.

When there was no one else around, he opened his mouth and said to Ye Kang: "Ye Xiang, the empress is pregnant at this time, and protecting the dragon son is a top priority. But now the front and rear palaces are not peaceful, I am afraid that some places will take care of them. If you don't know how to do it, please ask Ye Xiang to help."

Wen Zheng's attitude is so polite, but Ye Kang's heart trembles!

No one knew better than him what hardships the child in Ye Chu's womb was facing. Qin Qi was absolutely unwilling to see Zhong Gong having a son, and this child was born safely and smoothly.

Fortunately, Wen Zheng had no objection to the child's birth, otherwise, as a foreign minister, even if he was a prime minister, it would be difficult for him to intervene in the harem.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter what, Chu'er is the daughter of the old minister. This matter concerns the prince. Even if the old minister puts his life on the line, he will protect her well!"

Ye Kang swore a promise to Wen Zheng in the imperial study, Wen Zheng nodded slightly, and then saw Ye Kang stand up and request to resign.

When Ye Kang left, Eunuch Zhang turned around with a worried expression and served tea to Wen Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Lord Qin won't let it go, and Concubine Shu is also keeping a close eye on the child in the Empress's womb, relying only on Ye Xiang..."

Before Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, he had already noticed his slip of the tongue from Wen Zheng's suddenly gloomy expression.

He hastily shut his mouth, it was because he thought wrong, how can he, an eunuch, talk about such a big matter?

If he hadn't been serving Wen Zheng for a long time, and he had become a master and servant, he would have been dragged out by now and beaten to death with sticks.

"Ye Xiang has his own means to be able to stand upright in the court hall. I know this matter well, so I don't need to say more, but what I talked about with Ye Xiang in the imperial study today, you must remember not to pass it on to the queen. In the ear!"

Eunuch Zhang immediately took these words to heart, and when he was about to leave, suddenly a little eunuch came in with a flustered expression and hurried steps.

This little eunuch is called Xiao Songzi, and he is the adoptive son that Eunuch Zhang accepted in the palace. Recently, he arranged to serve beside the imperial study, just to take the opportunity to support him.

As soon as Xiao Songzi entered the room, he noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. He first glanced carefully at his godfather, then saw the accusation in Eunuch Zhang's eyes, and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Report to the emperor... The slave heard that the concubine Shu knew that the empress was pregnant, and had someone prepare a car to drive her, and went looking for it with great fanfare..."

Hearing this, Wen Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then got up with a flick of his sleeves.

"Hurry up and get someone ready to drive, I want to go to Fengqi Palace immediately, just in case!"

Just when there was chaos in front of the imperial study room, Qin Xinrong was already standing in front of Fengqi Hall.

Her eyes were full of coldness, and she glanced lightly at the followers following her.

Obtaining her master's order, the palace maid next to Qin Xinrou stepped forward proudly, and said to Zhiqing: "My mother heard that the empress is pregnant with a dragon heir, so she specially prepared a generous gift to congratulate her. Is your lady free?"

Zhi Qing felt displeased when she heard the tone of her words, Qin Xinrou clearly showed that the visitor was not kind, if she was allowed to meet her master, she didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused!

But Qin Xinrou has been in the limelight recently, and everyone in the harem can see every move in Fengqi Palace, and it is closely related to the affairs of the previous court.

Zhi Qing bowed to Qin Xinrou and walked towards the main hall.

Ye Chu had already heard the commotion outside, Qin Xinrou came here with great fanfare, how could she not know?

She lowered her head and glanced at the beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, sighed and asked Zhi Qing to go out and rejected Qin Xinrou's request to come and visit.

"I don't dare to see her right now, if Concubine Shu is unwilling, then just wait outside the palace."

Zhi Qing was about to go out, but Ye Chu added something in a cold tone, asking her to repeat the words as before.

Qin Xinrou, who was outside, heard Ye Chu's original words, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, she was filled with jealousy, after all, Wen Zheng had no child at this time, whoever could give birth to a boy in the first place would be the eldest son of the emperor in the palace!
