Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 248 Huang Shiren: Congratulations, Your Highness, on becoming a big brother!
Just as Huang Shiren's eyes were rolling around, thinking hard about how to survive, Yi on the side couldn't help but ask.

"How is it, has Doctor Huang diagnosed your pulse and given you a result?"

You know, if Concubine Lan is really pregnant, then this is his child.

How could Yi not take it seriously?
As Yi finished speaking, the expression on Huang Shiren's face became more and more conflicted.

When Yi saw this, he knew that Huang Shiren had concerns, and his face immediately darkened and he said.

"What is going on, Doctor Huang, please tell me clearly and don't hide it."

"I promise you'll be fine!"

This is actually the truth.

Even if it was true that Concubine Lan was pregnant, Yi was not going to kill Huang Shiren to silence him.

Well, at least not for now.

After all, after you get pregnant you still have to take care of the fetus and deliver the baby, which are all troublesome things. It is best to have a good doctor to keep an eye on you all the time to avoid any accidents.

If he really killed every doctor to silence them every time he took their pulse, then all the famous doctors in the capital might not be enough for Yi to kill.

If this were to happen, things would become too suspicious and could easily get out of hand.

Even if they really wanted to kill the doctor to silence him, the earliest they could do so would have to be after the baby was born, or even after a full month.

Huang Shiren's body trembled noticeably when he heard this, but he still confessed the truth.

"I did get some results from taking your pulse."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are going to be a big brother!"

Yi: ???
When Yi heard this, he was stunned where he stood.

But he soon realized that he had not stated who needed his pulse diagnosis, and since this was the Cining Palace, Huang Shiren probably suspected that the person whose pulse he was diagnosing was the Empress Dowager...

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to complain, Yi began to explain.

"Dr. Huang has misunderstood. The person who asked you to diagnose her pulse was not my queen mother, but a palace maid from the Cining Palace."

Huang Shiren's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yi, then slapped himself several times in a row and apologized.

"I have made unwarranted guesses, and I deserve death. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

While apologizing, Huang Shiren screamed wildly in his heart, it was a palace maid, it must be a palace maid.

Whoever said that the pregnant woman was not a palace maid, who the hell would he be angry with!
A palace maid being pregnant and an imperial concubine being pregnant are two completely different things.

The palace maid's pregnancy is at most a rumor. Even if he knew about it, he would not necessarily die.

But if the Empress Dowager was pregnant, it would be a real scandal.

Not to mention him, even if the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau knew about this, he would have no chance of survival!

Yi knew that he still needed Huang Shiren, so he would not get angry over such a small matter. He just said with a smile.

"Dr. Huang, please get up quickly."

"Ignorance is not a crime. This matter is also my fault for not explaining it clearly."

After comforting Huang Shiren, Yi asked again.

"Dr. Huang, please tell me the truth, what is the condition of this palace maid?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Shiren no longer concealed the truth and spoke directly.

"In reply to your Highness, if I have not misdiagnosed the pulse, this palace maid should be pregnant."

"Judging from the pulse, it should have been two months."

Before Yi could say anything, a cry of obvious joy came from behind the curtains of the bed.

Yi took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his excitement, and asked.

"How is the fetus? Is it healthy?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Shiren realized that Yi's attitude towards the child was to keep it rather than abort it.

His eyes rolled immediately, he had an idea, and spoke.

"In reply to your Highness, the palace maid is weak and lacks vitality, so her pulse is weak and floating."

"However, I have a prescription here to replenish your vital energy, stabilize your pregnancy and nourish your mind. If you use it, you will be safe."

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Cixi's health and the fetus was stable.

The reason why Huang Shiren said this was actually to increase his own importance so as to prevent Yi from silencing him.

As long as the fetus still needs Huang Shiren to protect it, then he, Huang Shiren, is useful, and useful people naturally do not need to die.

Yi heard this and said immediately.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Dr. Huang to write the prescription."

After he finished speaking, Yi raised his hand and signaled the palace maid to take Huang Shiren outside to get a prescription.

He lifted the bed curtain, sat on the edge of the bed, and hugged Concubine Lan tightly.

"Liu...Liu Lang, I am really pregnant."

"I am so happy to be able to bear a child for Liu Lang."

Concubine Lan's voice was a little timid, and she was obviously crying with joy.

Yi also nodded vigorously.

"The King is also very happy."

"I have a child. I finally have a child!"

There were so many wives and concubines in Yi's mansion but nothing happened. However, there was some movement from Concubine Lan, which gave him a surprise. Yi really couldn't help but be excited.

Concubine Lan continued, her voice full of longing.

"Liu Lang, do you think this child is a boy or a girl? Does he look like me or you?"

"Do you think he will be smart and handsome when he grows up?"

Yi said with a smile.

"It would be best if it was a boy, a great man like me, brave and intelligent."

"Of course, if it's a girl, it's fine too. She will definitely be as pretty as you."

Although Yi is ugly, it does not prevent him from being extremely narcissistic.

Well, it was mainly because no one dared to say that Yi was ugly to his face since he was a child. Instead, almost everyone praised him for his bravery and courage, which made Yi very confident.

The reason why Yi said this was not because he favored sons over daughters, but because he was a politician who needed a son to inherit his political assets and stabilize the hearts of those who followed him!

Lady Lan continued.

"Yeah, I will..."

However, just as the two of them were snuggling together and looking forward to the future together, Concubine Borjigit walked in from outside.

It was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the two of them.

"No, this child must not stay!"

Borjigit said in a very serious tone.

While saying this, Borjigit looked straight at Yi, with an unquestionable gaze.

Upon hearing this, Yi immediately asked.

"Why? Why did mother say that?"

Borjigit spoke.

“Don’t forget who you are.”

"You two are not allowed to see each other in public. Once the emperor knows that Xingzhen is pregnant and knows about the relationship between Yi and Xingzhen, everything will be over."

Although Xianfeng was no longer concerned about state affairs because he had deposed himself and had become addicted to opium, it was obvious that a lot of power in his hands had been diverted.

But he is still the emperor and still holds the righteous position. In the court, Xianfeng is still the dominant figure.

Once Emperor Xianfeng knew about Yi and Xingzhen's affair, it would be an absolute disaster for both of them.

You know, Xianfeng had more than one younger brother, Yi.

If Yi touched his bottom line and Xianfeng wanted to replace the crown prince, it would be completely possible.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan Xingzhen, who was sitting on the bed, had her eyes instantly filled with tears and she looked at Yi with pitiful eyes.

That look seemed to be saying, this child is not mine alone!
You can't just ignore it after you've had your fun!

Yi opened his mouth, looked at Borjigit again, and spoke in a slightly dry voice.

"Mother, you know, I have been working very hard recently, but there has been some movement on Xingzhen's side."

"If I abort this child, it's hard to say whether I can have another one in the future..."

It is obvious that Yi also wants to keep the child.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Borjigit's face kept changing, and finally he spoke.

"You want to keep the child, it's not impossible."

"But, Your Majesty must..."

As he spoke, Borjigit slashed his throat with his knife, his attitude very clear.

If you want to save the child, you have to find a way to kill the emperor, Xianfeng!
As long as Xianfeng is killed and Yi takes the throne, the child can naturally be saved.

Otherwise, it would be better to abort the child as soon as possible.

In order to avoid difficulty in playing when the month is full!
Upon hearing this, Yi took a deep breath, his face twitching constantly, sometimes ferocious, sometimes cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was extremely obvious.

It was obvious that Yi was moved, but he was still struggling.

After all, regicide is a matter of life and death.

No one can remain calm in the face of such a major event.

It is normal to feel conflicted.

Xingzhen, who was standing by, spoke softly to Yi.

"Liu Lang, I want to keep this child..."

Xingzhen's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Yi, who was still struggling, made a decision in an instant.

He gritted his teeth and said.

"Save!"

"Must protect it!"

"Let's make some plans and find a way to make the emperor die as soon as possible..."

Although Yi wanted to become emperor, he didn't have the courage to kill the king.

If Xingzhen had not suddenly encountered such an incident, it would be hard to say whether Yi would kill the king and take the throne.

Upon hearing this, Borjigit narrowed his eyes and offered some advice.

"How about letting the emperor fall into the water?"

The emperor of the former Ming Dynasty could be easily dissolved in water, and so can the emperor of our Qing Dynasty.

Fall into water, catch a cold, become critically ill, die...

Their ancestors in the Ming Dynasty had already demonstrated to them how to operate the whole process.

Yi heard this and shook his head.

"Falling into the water is one way."

"It's just that it's winter now, and the lakes in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace are all frozen. The emperor probably won't go boating or sightseeing in the short term, so it's impossible to arrange for him to jump into the water."

"But Xingzhen will be pregnant before the lake thaws, and there won't be enough time to arrange for the emperor to fall into the water."

"It would be better to prepare for the assassination!"

"In a few days, the Qing Dynasty will skin alive the long-haired bandit chieftain Hong Xiuquan at Caishikou. When the time comes, the emperor will probably go to watch the ceremony."

"With so many people at the scene, it should be easier to arrange the assassination."

Borjigit said after thinking for a while.

"That's fine too."

"If we want to carry out an open assassination, the guards responsible for the protection will be the biggest problem."

"Recently, the protection work for the emperor every time he travels should be in charge of Sushun, who is also the Minister of the Imperial Guard."

"This person is not easy to deal with!"
