Chapter 511 Ascending the Throne
She couldn't have heard it wrong, that was Lu Shian's voice.
She ran into the inner room in disbelief. Wasn’t that Lu Shian lying on the bed?
"Shian, where have you been? No, you were not here just now. You are now..."
"Nanxing, I'm a little thirsty."
"Oh, wait a moment."
Li Hongting walked in, glanced at Shen Cuo, then glanced at Lu'er who was standing beside him, then walked in and came to Lu Shian's bed.
"Shian, are you okay?"
Lu Shian's face looked very bad, and she forced a smile: "I'm fine."
Nan Xing came over with tea and said, "How can you say it's okay? The child was almost lost."
Li Hongting asked with a gloomy face: "Is it Jing Moyuan?"
Lu Shian nodded: "I originally thought that I would be willing to help you out there, but I didn't expect that I almost couldn't even save the child."
"Don't say that. The most important thing is that you are okay."
As he spoke, Li Hongting reached out and held Lu Shian in his arms.
Wasn't here just now? Why did you suddenly appear again?
Jing Moyuan had clearly left from here, Shen Cuo and Lu'er were subdued, but Lu Shian was not taken away...
Lu Shian, ah Lu Shian, what secrets are you hiding?
Li Hongyu's rebellion ended so quickly that even the ordinary people in the city were not affected.
When Lu Shian returned to the Prince's Mansion, everything was the same as before, as if what had happened in the past few days was just a dream.
Nanxing told her not to get out of bed easily, and to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed until the baby was born.
Upon learning that Qin Jingzhi was injured, she quickly asked Nanxing to go over and take a look.
Just as Nanxing agreed, someone came from the palace, and Nanxing had no choice but to enter the palace first.
Li Hongting hadn't come for several days, but she knew from the servants that Li Hongting had been accompanying Qin Jingzhi these days.
Hearing the servant say this, she felt inexplicably irritated. She thought it was a problem with her pregnancy, otherwise she would not have such emotions.
Another thing also surprised her: Li Hongyu died, committing suicide by taking poison. No one expected that he had hidden a deadly poison in his fingernails.
After his death, the emperor's poison became an incurable poison.
It turns out that the name of this poison is Forget Chanmian. Just by listening to the name, you know that it is a love poison. As long as two people have each other in their hearts, the poison will not take effect. If there is resentment towards this person in their heart, they will slowly become stupid.
Now that Li Hongyu, who possessed the mother Gu, is gone, the emperor won’t have many days left to live.
After the imperial concubine found out, she fainted several times.
"Why, why, they are obviously father and son, how could he poison him like this."
"How can there be such a son in the world?"
After crying and complaining, the Imperial Concubine held Nanxing's hand again and said, "Is there really no way to cure this poison?"
Nan Xing looked embarrassed: "It's not that there is no way, but the emperor can't hold on until then."
Nanxing didn't have much knowledge of Gu poison, but she knew there was a way to curb it.
That is to raise a more powerful poison, inject it into the emperor's body, and then replace the original poison with the new one. This can be regarded as a disguised way of saving the emperor's life. However, there are disadvantages to doing so. That is, whoever possesses the mother poison can easily control the emperor.
"How many days does the emperor have left?"
"No more than ten days..."
After hearing this, the Imperial Concubine burst into tears again: "Why, why is it like this..."
After the emperor found out, his reaction was very calm. Late at night, he called Li Hongting to his side. No one knew what the father and son talked about.
But the next day, the emperor issued an abdication decree, and Li Hongting ascended the throne. He went from being an emperor to an emperor emeritus.
The coronation ceremony was also held in a hurry, only because the emperor wanted to see his son ascend the throne.
Qin Jingzhi naturally became the queen, and she also became the virtuous concubine.
Jing Youran was canonized as Jing Zhaoyi.
As for the third prince Jing Moyuan, he left in a hurry, saying that he had received a letter from the Kingdom of Wu and that he had to return as soon as possible for important matters. Of course, everyone knew that this was just a face-saving statement.
Be it the emperor's enthronement ceremony or the enthronement ceremony, Lu Shian did not participate in these activities, simply because she had to stay in bed to take care of her pregnancy.
The retired emperor died seven days after the emperor ascended the throne.
As the daughter-in-law, Lu Shian should have gone, but she didn't because she was pregnant.
The days in bed were very difficult. She couldn't move around or eat too much, lest the baby be too big and cause difficult delivery.
Seeing that she was gaining weight uncontrollably, Lu Shian had no choice but to call Nanxing over and teach her some modern knowledge about pregnant women and childbirth.
Nanxing knew some of them, which were just improvements on ancient technology, while others made Nanxing exclaim in amazement, wondering how they could be possible.
"It's unbelievable that a cesarean section can be used like this."
Lu Shian said calmly: "The most important thing is to survive."
The Emperor had not visited her many times during the days she was pregnant, but Qin Jingzhi still came to visit her often, just like when she was in the Prince's Mansion.
After Qin Jingzhi became the queen, she became even more beautiful.
There cannot be only three women in the harem. Based on the advice of his ministers, the emperor selected another group of women to enter the palace. I heard it was quite lively.
Finally, it was the twelfth lunar month. On the day of giving birth, Lu Shian started having attacks in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Nanxing was there, which made Lu Shian feel relieved.
As soon as she started to have an attack, Nanxing immediately gave her a bowl of medicine.
Three hours later, Lu Shian finally gave birth to a baby boy.
When Li Hongting found out, he was overjoyed and sent a stream of rewards to Ganquan Palace.
Both the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager gave gifts.
Looking at the soft and chewy little thing in his arms, Lu Shian felt that all his efforts were worth it.
Qin Jingzhi sat aside, looking at the sleeping little prince with a smile on his face.
"He is so handsome. Look at his little nose. He looks exactly like the emperor."
Nan Xing also loves the little guy very much: "Newly born babies are as dark and skinny as monkeys. It's rare to see a little guy as fair as this one."
Qin Jingzhi smiled and said, "Of course it's rare. This is your majesty's first prince, he is invaluable, how can he be compared to those children."
Li Hongting hurried here after the morning court session.
"Let me see if my little prince is eating well today."
Li Hongting's voice came in before he came in. The serving palace maids wanted to salute, but he waved his hand to signal them to go down.
Qin Jingzhi stood up and saluted the emperor. Lu Shian also wanted to get up from the bed, but Li Hongting held her down.
"You don't have to move, just take a rest."
"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. The little guy just ate his milk and fell asleep."
"Oh? Really?" Li Hongting said, his voice unconsciously lowered. He gently bent down and smiled foolishly at the little prince in the cradle.
"My son really looks like me."
Qin Jingzhi was overjoyed: "The emperor has given the little prince a name."
"Well, Li Yichen, Chen'er, how is it?"
