Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Chapter 537 The Emperor Affirms Li Mengyue

Later, the news brought back by the secret guard surprised him. It turned out that the girl was the daughter of the prime minister who had severed his relationship with him. He could never have imagined that his son, who had always been indifferent to women, not only had a woman, but also made her pregnant. He really didn't know what to say.

Compared with his other sons, he was most looking forward to the birth of his third son, because he and the queen had been married for many years but had no children. This was not only a concern for the queen, but also made him feel no regrets.

Therefore, after his third son was born, his eyes and heart were filled with his third son. Later, he discovered that his doting was fatal to his third son, so that even though he and the queen were reluctant, he still cruelly sent his third son to the north.

The third son did not disappoint him. He started as a small soldier and entered the battlefield to fight. He made great achievements and finally became the commander of the northern army.

Originally, he wanted to make his third son the crown prince when he came of age, but due to various reasons, this idea was never implemented.

You have to know that even though he was the emperor, there were many things he couldn't do as he wished, like making his third son the crown prince, more than half of the ministers in the court opposed it.

He knew exactly why these people opposed him, and some of these opponents were close to the eldest prince, while others were close to the second prince.

But even if he didn't love the eldest prince and the second prince much, they were still his biological sons. He couldn't kill them himself.

After all, even though he was an emperor and held the power of life and death over the people of the world, he still wanted to have many children and grandchildren and enjoy family happiness like ordinary people.

Although he knew that this wish was too naive and impossible to achieve, he still had to have dreams. What if it came true?

Therefore, even though he knew that the eldest prince and the second prince had always been targeting the third son and would send people to assassinate him from time to time, he did not stop them and just treated it as a normal fight between his three sons.

After all, in every dynasty, the fight for succession was always accompanied by blood and gore, and whoever came to the top did so by stepping on numerous bones and having his hands stained with countless blood.

Even if he didn't want his third son to be caught up in the vortex of the fight for the throne, and even if he wanted his third son to successfully become the crown prince, he couldn't be so obviously biased.

Besides, his third son was framed at the celebration banquet last year, and his health left him unable to have children, which dealt him a heavy blow.

Since ancient times, no emperor could be without offspring. He once thought that his third son would never have the chance to be emperor, and he was considering choosing one between the eldest prince and the second prince.

What he didn't expect was that his third son just went to Banyue Villa in Wuning County to recuperate, but asked someone to find a girl.

This surprised him very much. After the secret guards investigated, he found out that the girl that his third son liked was someone he and had met in the capital and had physical contact with.

At that time, he was still relieved that his third son, who had never been interested in women, finally had a girl he liked. He no longer had to worry about his son living alone.

He was right to think so, but the third son really impressed him. He got the girl pregnant without telling her, and even made her willingly give birth to a child for him without any legal status. This made him very proud for a while, and he thought his son was too charming.

However, he also knew that with Li Mengyue's ability, if she really wanted to abort the child, it would be useless no matter how much the third brother tried to stop her.

But he knew that if Li Mengyue had not appeared on the night of the celebration banquet, the third brother would have died long ago and would never have had the chance to meet Li Mengyue again.

He also asked people to investigate, but no matter how they searched, they could not find out how Li Mengyue, a young lady from a secluded place, had acquired such superb medical skills.

But one thing is certain, it was Li Mengyue who truly saved the third brother's life, so that he and the queen would not have to see each other die together. For this, he was grateful to Li Mengyue.

Not to mention that later Li Mengyue led an army of ducks to kill locusts in Qingshan Prefecture, and helped his third brother with disaster relief and resettlement of refugees. These two things made him look at him with admiration.

Even if Li Mengyue's status is relatively low, it doesn't matter. Li Mengyue has great abilities. Although that can't cover up the problem of her background, he doesn't care much.

Anyway, the third brother will succeed to the throne in the future, and he can choose a woman of any status he wants, so why bother with this issue?

You know, a woman like Li Mengyue, who is capable, beautiful, good at both literature and martial arts, and can give birth to children, is the most suitable person to stand by the third brother. He thinks Li Mengyue and the third brother are really a good match.

He had no opinion on the relationship between the third brother and Li Mengyue, and believed that the queen felt the same. The queen also knew that Li Mengyue had given birth to four children at once.

This is the first time since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty that a woman has become pregnant with quadruplets and given birth safely. This is a good omen, indicating that Li Mengyue is a blessed woman.

Another point is that he had health problems some time ago, and the imperial doctors could not find the cause. His body has been weak and he couldn't even get out of bed.

He knew the condition of his body very well. He must have been drugged, and he knew who it was without having to guess.

However, even though he knew that it was Concubine Rou who drugged him, he did not immediately pursue the matter.

But he knew that Concubine Rou was just the executor, and the one who really wanted to do that was the family behind Concubine Rou.

If it were an ordinary family, he could have simply confiscated all the property and exterminated the entire clan, but Concubine Rou's father was the King of Yue who guarded the southern border.

The King of Yue holds military power, so even if he wants to take action, he has to consider the consequences. After much thought, the consequences are too serious.

Just because he has not touched the Jiang family for the time being does not mean he has let them go.

Originally, he was very worried about his health, and he was worried that he would not be able to hold on until the third brother returned to the capital from the northern border. As a result, the third brother asked someone to send back some medicine for health maintenance, including not only the precious soul-returning pills, but also a few bottles of water.

He didn't know what kind of water it was, but after drinking it, he felt much more relaxed and refreshed, his breathing became smoother, and he no longer had the thin and weak breath he had before. His body was not so easily tired, and his mental state was very good every day.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he behaved the same as before in front of Concubine Rou.

In other words, Concubine Rou doesn't know it yet, but he has already known that Concubine Rou had drugged him, and his health has improved. He even feels at least five years younger. Not only does he feel younger physically, but his mentality has also improved a lot.

Thinking about the fact that the medicine and water in the third brother's letter were all taken out by Li Mengyue, he had a much better impression of Li Mengyue.

Even though he hasn't met Li Mengyue yet, he thinks it's a good thing that the third brother has a princess with excellent medical skills.
