Chapter 286 Golden Dragon Enters the Dream
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress is pregnant!" The imperial physician kneeling on the ground loudly reported the good news with a happy face.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately lit up with ecstasy, but soon turned into a hint of doubt and uneasiness. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "Really? The Queen said her chest was tight, how did she suddenly diagnose a pregnancy?"
It is no wonder that Emperor Jing was so cautious and suspicious. After all, no newborn had been born in the palace for more than ten years.
The deformed fetus born by Concubine Wei two years ago could only be regarded as a so-called "lucky bead". In his mind, it was not a true heir to the throne.
Facing Emperor Jing's question, the imperial physician hurriedly and respectfully replied, "I have been practicing medicine for decades. I will never make a mistake in diagnosing a pregnancy pulse. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter. His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the palace: "Hahahahahaha... Reward! A huge reward! Everyone in Kunning Palace will receive a reward. As long as you serve your queen wholeheartedly and diligently, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Before he finished speaking, the palace maids knelt on the ground, kowtowed to express their gratitude, and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Su Yue'e stood up lightly with a smile on her face, stretched out her slender hand to hold Emperor Jing's big hand, and sat down slowly together.
Seeing this, the palace maids understood what was going on and hurriedly and quietly left the bedroom, leaving only Su Yue'e's personal maid quietly guarding the palace gate.
After everyone left, Su Yue'e frowned slightly and said to Emperor Jing in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, I still feel very stuffy in my chest."
After saying that, she gently pulled up Emperor Jing's hand and slowly placed it on her chest.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Jing hurriedly and gently followed her breath and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you want me to send the imperial physician to check you out?"
Su Yue'e shook her head, gently leaned her head on Emperor Jing's broad shoulders, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling unwell, but I feel very suffocated in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing raised his other hand and gently combed the messy hair by her ear, comforting her, "Don't worry, Yue'er. You've just become pregnant, so it's inevitable that your body is a little uncomfortable. It's normal for a first-time mother to feel nervous. Tomorrow I will assign two experienced and mature maids to take care of you, okay? If that doesn't work, I'll have your mother stay in the palace for a few days to comfort you."
Hearing Emperor Jing's considerate care, Su Yue'e's face flushed with shyness.
She said softly, "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I am deeply grateful."
The corners of Emperor Jing's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly: "Now that you are my queen, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
The Queen smiled tenderly, then lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I had a strange dream a few days ago. In the dream, a golden dragon flew into my arms."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing suddenly straightened up, his eyes gleaming with uncontrollable joy. He said excitedly, "So, the child my beloved concubine is carrying this time must be a prince! He will be my only legitimate son. I must give him a good name."
Emperor Jing secretly thought that since the unfortunate death of the former crown prince, the other princes were not capable of great things and were unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
Now the queen is pregnant with a dragon seed. After it is born, it must be carefully cultivated and strictly taught so that it can inherit the throne in the future.
However, a trace of worry appeared on Su Yue'e's face. She said anxiously, "But, I am really worried and uneasy. I don't know whether this child can be born safely."
Emperor Jing's gaze was as firm as a rock as he responded decisively, "I am the true dragon emperor, bearing the mandate of heaven. Naturally, I can protect you and your son. I will never let anyone harm you in the slightest."
Su Yue'e bit her red lips lightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Finally, she mustered up the courage to speak: "But...but in that dream, the little golden dragon in my arms was actually hit."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing frowned, his face etched with anger, and he demanded in a stern voice, "Who is so audacious as to dare to assault Yue'er and my unborn child?"
Su Yue'e shook her head repeatedly in fear, and replied with a trembling voice, "I really don't dare to speak nonsense."
"Yue'er, just tell me what you want. I will clear the obstacles for you."
Su Yue'e trembled and whispered, "It is...it is a four-clawed black dragon."
When Emperor Jing heard this, he frowned and thought to himself.
A dragon has five claws, while a Jiao has only four.
Since ancient times, dragons have been regarded as the sons of destiny, so this four-clawed dragon must correspond to the other princes.
This group of rebellious sons is really a cause for concern. They even tried to harm his unborn child.
Seeing that Emperor Jing was silent, Su Yue'e stretched out her hands and grabbed his sleeves, crying softly, "Your Majesty, Yue'er is really scared! In the past few days, Yue'er has lost her appetite and can't sleep at night. If it were just Yue'er, it would be fine, but now I'm pregnant with the little prince..."
Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes, his gaze as cold as frost, and slowly said: "Yuan Qi has stayed in the capital for too long. It is time for him to return to his fiefdom."
Su Yue'e gently persuaded, "Your Majesty, the capital is prosperous, and the eldest prince will certainly be reluctant to leave. How can I let my affairs affect the father-son relationship between Your Majesty and the eldest prince?"
Emperor Jing snorted coldly, his face darkening as he said, "Hmph! It's not up to him whether he wants to or not. He hasn't done a single decent thing in the past two years in the capital. Just a few days ago, there was a memorial from the Imperial Censor accusing him of forcibly buying and selling a farm in the suburbs of the capital."
Su Yue'e smiled slightly upon hearing this, but soon returned to her pitiful expression, "Your Majesty, there is also the Fifth Prince..."
