Chapter 184: The Skinny Horse's Second Daughter (End)
"Life is like a dream, half of my life is drifting, thank you."
The woman's voice was exceptionally soft, with a hint of relief in her tone.
The unconscious Azhi vaguely saw a figure.
"Zhou An Ning" stood in the rain holding an umbrella, his eyes were clear and his brows were soft and delicate, and all his resentment was gone with the wind.
"Ning Ning..."
Hearing someone calling him, Azhi struggled to open his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice.
I saw Fang Qingyu staring at me with a nervous look on his face.
"Ningning, you're finally awake."
"Woo, woo, woo, miss!"
Tonghua rushed over and looked at Azhi, feeling very distressed.
"The young lady is finally awake. I was really scared."
Unexpectedly, Azhi was unconscious for two days and two nights, and the palace had been cleared during the time he was unconscious.
Because Fang Cheyun had been poisoned to death.
Fang Qingyu was easy on him and did not ask him to atone for his sins after his death. Thinking of their deep brotherly love, he buried him as a prince.
Prime Minister Wei's family was beheaded in public, and the rest of them were confiscated and exiled by Fang Qingyu.
This Prince Cheng defected to Prime Minister Wei, and the entire Prince Cheng's mansion was beheaded in public.
During the two days when Azhi fainted, Fang Qingyu became the new emperor as the crown prince.
The Queen was promoted to Queen Mother and Empress Dowager, and was now arranged to live in the Cining Palace.
I saw Azhi wake up.
Fang Qingyu hugged her tightly and trembled all over.
"It's okay, as long as you are okay."
"Your Highness?"
Tonghua at the side reminded, "Miss, you can't call him Your Highness. The previous emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne. You should call him Your Majesty."
"His Majesty?"
"No, Ningning, you don't need to call him Your Majesty. You can still call him Qingyu as before."
Thinking that the tung flowers were still standing beside me.
Azhi's cheeks were slightly blushing.
"Your Majesty, this is in accordance with the rules."
Fang Qingyu hugged Ah Zhi tightly and said softly, "What rules do you and I have to follow? Soon I will make you the queen, and you and I will be a legitimate couple. Is there anything wrong with calling each other more affectionately?"
“Qingyu…”
"Yeah, Ningning."
The two of them were showing their affection as if no one was around.
Finally, Ah Zhi came to her senses and asked, "Your Majesty, why did I faint for so long? I remember that time..."
Because of recalling bad memories.
Azhi's face was very pale.
Fang Qingyu comforted her with great concern, "Don't be too scared. Fang Cheyun and Wei Wan have already been buried. Why did you faint? Why not let Tonghua tell you."
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as they gently fell on Azhi's lower abdomen.
Tonghua smiled gently at Azhi.
"Miss, you are weak and your menstruation has always been unstable. I didn't expect the imperial physician to say that you are pregnant, Miss."
"Are you happy?"
Ah Zhi subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, and her flat belly didn't look like she was pregnant at all.
"Yes."
Fang Qingyu held Azhi's small hand with his big hand.
"Ningning, you can only be my queen. There will never be anyone else. Your coronation ceremony will be held in three days."
"it is good."
When the Queen Mother learned that Azhi was pregnant, she immediately went to Qifeng Palace.
Today, Azhi is arranged to live in the bedroom of empresses of all generations.
As long as she is canonized, she can become the queen.
But the Queen Mother did not come to Qifeng Palace to congratulate.
She watched Ah Zhi stand up and salute, her eyes falling on Ah Zhi's belly.
"You are really very clever. You got pregnant before you even got married. But do you know the impact this will have on the emperor?"
I saw Azhi stroking her belly with a gentle look on her face.
"I know that Your Majesty and I shouldn't do this, but we have no choice. I had no intention of falling in love with Your Majesty."
"Unintentional?"
The empress dowager now did not look weak or sick at all. Her eyes were majestic without her anger and had an indescribable sharpness, as if she could see Ah Zhi clearly in front of her.
"Although you are engaged, you have not yet married, even though you are the Crown Princess arranged by the late Emperor."
"How shameless of you to have an affair before marriage, I have to suspect the baby in your belly."
"Before Fang Cheyun died, he wanted to take you away. You two used to love each other. How can I trust you?"
This is to doubt Azhi's innocence and think that she is pregnant with Fang Cheyun's child.
Azhi did not retreat at all and faced the Queen Mother's gaze.
"I am willing to swear to heaven that the child in my belly is your Majesty's own. If I lie, the entire Zhou family will not live in peace."
"I will be torn into pieces by five horses and enter the Avici Hell after death, where I will suffer endless torture and die without a good end."
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods the most.
Seeing that Azhi swore an oath without hesitation and faced his own suspicion without any panic.
There was a hint of surprise in the Queen Mother's eyes.
She looked at Ah Zhi deeply, sighed with relief and shook her head, "Forget it, it's not just your fault. Love between men and women is also a matter between men and women."
"The emperor wants to make you his queen, and I can't make him unhappy."
I heard that the Queen Mother acknowledged me and the baby in her womb.
Ah Zhi's eyes were slightly red and she quickly bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Alright, you are not feeling well right now, so you should get up and rest. I am going back to the palace."
Half an incense stick of time after the Queen Mother left, Fang Qingyu heard the news and rushed over immediately.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Azhi was fine.
"Silly Ningning, my mother is here, you should send someone to look for me. If my mother wants to do something to you, I will be heartbroken."
Seeing sweat on Fang Qingyu's forehead, Azhi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it for him.
Today, Fang Qingyu is the emperor and wears a dragon robe.
The dragon pattern on his body is a five-clawed golden dragon, which looks mighty and domineering, representing the supreme power.
When he looked at Azhi, his eyes were still as bright as stars, and the person in front of him was his sweetheart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Queen Mother will not harm her own grandson."
It wasn't that Fang Qingyu was making malicious assumptions about his mother.
Because the death of the previous emperor was different.
Fang Qingyu guessed that it was the Queen Mother who poisoned the late emperor.
She was so cruel to her own husband, let alone Zhou An Ning who was now pregnant.
If she suspected that the child in Azhi's belly was not hers.
What if he has to be as ruthless as he was to the late emperor in order to help him eliminate the threat?
Fang Qingyu's heart almost stopped beating.
He placed his hands on Azhi's shoulders with a firm look in his eyes.
"Ningning, remember one thing. You are my only wife. From now on, I will only have you. I will only take one scoop from the vast ocean."
"His Majesty?"
The emperor's promise is the easiest to change, but Azhi believes that Fang Qingyu will not lie to her.
You don’t have to guess that the man you have conquered step by step has a 100% favorability towards him.
Her pretty little face was filled with emotion, and she bit her lower lip lightly and threw herself into Fang Qingyu's arms.
"Your Majesty, I believe in you."
Fang Qingyu hugged Ah Zhi tightly and said softly, "Your coronation ceremony will be in three days. I will ask the general's wife to come to the palace to talk to you the day before."
"it is good."
Two days later, Azhi heard that Feng Qingzi had set off for the palace.
She immediately took Tonghua and others to Fengqi Palace.
Seeing Ahzhi pacing around the room, Tonghua went forward to support Ahzhi and comfort him.
"Miss, please sit down. You are in a very precious state now."
"Tonghua, my mother must be very worried about me. I am so unfilial. As her daughter, I have never made her worry."
Perhaps because she was worried a lot during pregnancy, Azhi has been particularly weak these days.
Fang Qingyu came to accompany her after court every day, wishing he could hold her in the palm of his hand.
I remembered that Fang Qingyu had told me to take good care of the young lady before he left.
Tonghua coaxed Ah Zhi softly, "Miss, don't think too much. You will see the Madam soon. Just talk."
"Uh-huh."
When seeing Feng Qingzi again, Azhi's eyes were red and tears welled up.
The emotions belonging to this body cannot be suppressed.
At the same time, she also deliberately acted a bit weak and aggrieved.
"Mother."
The tears were like beans, sliding down my cheeks one by one.
Although Azhi has not been crowned queen yet, she has already changed into gorgeous and exquisite clothes.
She didn't like her hair to be too high in a bun, she just simply tied it up and decorated it with a phoenix hairpin and a pearl and kingfisher hairpin.
Even though she is pregnant, her beauty has not diminished at all. You can tell at a glance that she is a pampered flower.
In contrast, Feng Qingzi has lost a lot of weight.
Her husband and daughter had never returned home, and the entire Zhou family was heavily guarded.
She prayed for her husband and daughter day and night, hoping that they would return safely.
Feng Qingzi first hugged Azhi and refused to let go.
"Ningning, my Ningning, I have treated you badly for thirteen years. If something bad happens to you again, how will your mother live on?"
Azhi patted Feng Qingzi's back gently.
"Don't worry, mother. My daughter is fine."
Feng Qingzi finally let go of Azhi, held her hand and looked her up and down.
I saw that Ahzhi had a rosy complexion and didn't look thin and haggard at all.
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
"I have just entered the palace and met His Majesty. I already know about your situation. Mother never expected that Fang Cheyun would covet you."
"He was willing to bear the crime of stealing his brother's wife. If I had known his evil ambitions, I should have been more careful."
"My poor daughter was frightened. Fortunately, His Majesty came back in time to save you. Now the hardship has finally paid off. Tomorrow will be your coronation ceremony."
"Mother wants to ask you one question, are you willing to marry His Majesty?"
Different from Zhou Song's desire for a family full of glory, Feng Qingzi hopes that her daughter will be safe and happy.
I saw Azhi holding Feng Qingzi's hand and gently placing it on her lower abdomen.
She had a gentle smile on her face.
"Mother, I understand what father wants, and I also understand what I want."
"In the past thirteen years, I lost my identity as a young lady from the general's mansion and was homeless. Now I can become the most noble woman. My life is back on track."
"Ning Ning?"
Looking at his hand being placed on Azhi's abdomen.
Feng Qingzi was still a little dazed.
Ah Zhi continued, "Mother, I am pregnant. He is your Majesty's eldest son. The future monarch will have my blood flowing in his bones. Mother, this is what I want."
"you……"
Feng Qingzi was stunned at first, and finally her eyes turned red with heartache.
"Well, in that case, I will let the Zhou and Feng families help you. Ningning, you must be well. Mother hopes you will be well."
"Since ancient times, serving a king is like serving a tiger. Rather than becoming a virtuous queen who confines herself to her own life, mother hopes that you will become a happy woman."
"Don't live like a woman in the harem of past dynasties. You are not a pawn to fight for the glory of your mother clan. You are my most beloved daughter."
I didn't expect Feng Qingzi to say these words to me.
