I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Chapter 129 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (22)

Qin Yu felt bad because Fang Ruoyan lost her child.

Thinking that it was Princess An's jealousy that caused Fang Ruoyan to lose her child, he thought of Fang Qingci.

He was afraid that Fang Qingci would be like Princess An. After all, there were five pregnant women in his backyard. After all, the children were his, so he ran over to warn Fang Qingci.

Because of this incident, Princess An was imprisoned by Prince An.

Although Fang Ruoyan hated Princess An very much, it was impossible for Prince An to divorce her so easily. Although Princess An's family background was not very good, she was married to him by arrangement by the Emperor after all, so it would not be so easy for her to be deposed.

Late at night, in a three-story attic in Prince An's Mansion, the window was half open. There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black. In the darkness, Prince An, who had originally returned to the front yard to rest, stood in front of the window, looking coldly at Fang Ruoyan's yard not far away.

After a while, a black shadow flew out from Fang Ruoyan's yard.

Prince An watched Qin Yu come out of Fang Ruoyan's room and stood there for a long time without moving.

He closed his eyes for a long time, clenched his fists behind his back, and sneered.

Qin Yu!

Just wait! One day it will come.

Time quickly came to the summer of the second year. Chen Yao and the others were pregnant at about the same time, and their babies were about the same month old.

Among these people, Concubine Hui only paid special attention to Chen Yao, and specially appointed several maids to help Chen Yao protect her pregnancy.

Although An Qingci seemed virtuous on the surface, Concubine Hui was still somewhat worried.

In August, Chen Yao successfully gave birth to a daughter. Concubine Hui was happy but also a little disappointed that it was not a son.

Not long after Chen Yao gave birth, Su Su gave birth to her child, but she had a difficult labor. After giving birth to a boy with difficulty, she died of heavy hemorrhage.

Su Su's difficult labor was not caused by someone's fault. In this era with limited medical conditions, childbirth for women was a life-threatening experience and there were many unexpected situations.

Su Su had a difficult delivery because of the abnormal fetal position.

When Fang Qingci arrived, the midwife came out and asked whether to save the adult or the child. Qin Yu chose to save the child without hesitation.

So, men!

Next was Yunniang, who also had a difficult delivery. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. She gave birth to a daughter, but her health was not good after giving birth, and she could not have children in the future.

In October, Yuexiang and Qinghong also gave birth, both of them were sons.

Having three sons and two daughters at once was originally an extremely joyful thing, but in fact Qin Yu did not show that much happiness.

Because he had been quite indifferent recently, he was very distressed and rarely went to Prince An's mansion at night.

A man can abstain from sex, but he cannot accept being completely celibate. Qin Yu was a little depressed about this, but he had no way of expressing his distress.

Qin Yu hadn't been to Prince An's Mansion for a long time, which made Fang Ruoyan nervous. She thought that Qin Yu didn't care about her anymore because he had his own child.

Fang Qingci originally planned to adopt Yuexiang and Qinghong's child, but now there is a better choice.

In the end, Fang Qingci adopted Su Susheng's eldest son and Qing Hongsheng's second son.

As for Yue Xiangsheng's third son, Fang Qingci saw that she seemed unwilling, so he did not force her.

In fact, Fang Qingci had informed them before they became pregnant. It was because the two of them were willing that she bought fertility pills from the system mall for them to take, which allowed them to conceive quickly. Of course, they were not aware of this, but it is undeniable that the child was indeed given to them by Fang Qingci.

It was originally a mutually beneficial and consensual thing, but after the child was born, Yuexiang regretted it again.

She didn't want to give the child to Fang Qingci to raise, hoping to gain status by having a child.

But now she had a choice, and Fang Qingci did not force it. She gave birth to the child, so she could raise it if she wanted! But she could not expect Fang Qingci's protection in the future.

As long as she doesn't regret it.

Concubine Hui is very happy recently as she has three grandsons and two granddaughters at once.

When Fang Qingci brought Chen Yao and the children to pay their respects, she couldn't stop smiling.

Thank God, she finally has a grandson.

However, when she saw Fang Qingci, an inappropriate idea suddenly popped up in Concubine Hui's mind.

Even if something happens in the future, her son will at least have a future.

Concubine Hui quickly shook her head. Bah! Bah! Her son would be fine. Nothing would happen to him.

It was all Fang Qingci’s fault for leading her astray.

With the child in hand, half of the goal has been achieved. The next step is to wait for Qin Yu to ascend the throne.

Although Qin Yu doesn't seem to be very smart judging from what he is doing now, in fact, Qin Yu does not have much ability.

The reason why he was able to become emperor was mainly due to the power behind him.

Firstly, he had a powerful mother. If it weren't for Concubine Hui who killed Emperor Ming in the end, he would not have been able to get the throne on his own.

Qin Yu's maternal family is the Chen family, the head of the aristocratic families, and his wife's family is also powerful.

The aristocratic family represents the power of civil officials, while Fang Qingci's grandfather represents military power. These are Qin Yu's strong backing.

To put it bluntly, Qin Yu's ascension to power was entirely the result of a game between the aristocratic family and the emperor, and the aristocratic family succeeded.

His supporters valued Qin Yu not because of his abilities, but because he was the son of Concubine Hui and was in a position, so they supported him to take the throne.

Fang Qingci had read the original owner's memories. Although Qin Yu later became emperor, he was controlled by the aristocratic families all his life. Qin Yu also tried to change the situation, but he could only take noble ladies from aristocratic families into the palace and use the harem to balance the previous dynasty, so it was inevitable that he would let the original owner down.

Before he ascended the throne, the original owner was his helper. They were on the same side, so they were naturally a loving couple.

But as the child grew up, a new power struggle began, and Fang Qingci had already stood on the opposite side of him, so they were destined to become enemies.

The struggle for power is never about right or wrong, but only about winning or losing.

Emperor Ming was gradually getting old, and the princes were in their prime. The situation in the court became increasingly tense, and Qin Yu had the highest voice among them.

Some court officials suggested that Qin Yu be made the crown prince, but the emperor never gave in.

This situation continued until two years later, when the emperor celebrated his 60th birthday and Prince Cheng came to Beijing to celebrate.

King Cheng was the youngest son of the late emperor and also his most beloved son. There are rumors that the late emperor once wanted to pass the throne to King Cheng, but in the end it was Emperor Ming who ascended the throne.

It has been a long time, and few people now know what the original battle for the throne was like.

But many people can see clearly that King Cheng has ambitions. King Cheng is indeed the most beloved son of the late emperor. His fiefdom is the richest place in the Central Plains. Secondly, King Cheng also has a private army left to him by the late emperor.

King Cheng was a powerful vassal king, and Emperor Ming was always wary of him.

But this time, it was Emperor Ming himself who ordered Prince Cheng to come to Beijing to celebrate Emperor Ming’s 60th birthday.
