If something happened to her and her son, Jin Zijin would want her life, and he would not stop it.

The palace maiden returned with a smile, "Mother and child are safe, all is well."

Hearing that, the Emperor was even more puzzled.

Mother and child are safe, did she rush to the Crown Prince Residence early in the morning just to see Gu Youyou giving birth?

No one would believe that.

When the Emperor arrived, the residence was very quiet.

He moved into this residence when he was fifteen and stayed until the late Emperor passed away and he ascended the throne, only then did he leave.

There are too many memories of his youth here, and in the courtyard of the backyard, it is filled with her presence.

Back when she was still alive and the Grand Master Residence had not yet fallen into decline, those two years were the happiest for her, and the happiest for him as well.

This residence was always very lively.

But ever since she left, it changed; although the number of people increased, he felt it became more desolate, as quiet as hell, which is why he never returned after becoming the Emperor.

"Why are there so few people?"

Today, he felt the mansion was somehow too desolate; aside from the gatekeepers, he saw no one.

The palace maiden beside the Empress said, "Your Majesty, they have all been locked in the back courtyard. The specific reason, Her Majesty the Empress will inform you afterward. This servant dares not speak carelessly."

Heh, surely something happened.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble Jin Yushu was stirring up this time.

The dignity of Jin Moning would not allow him to trouble a palace maiden. Since she dared not speak rashly, he didn’t ask further and simply followed the palace maiden straight to a side room in the main courtyard.

Not the main room?

The room was very quiet. Through the glass windows made by Xiguang Residence, he saw the people inside.

The Empress sat at the seat of honor. Upon seeing the Emperor arrive, she quickly stood up and, along with a group of servants, performed a salute to the Emperor.

"This concubine greets Your Majesty!"

"Dispense with the formalities!"

Gu Youyou, wanting to sleep but unable to, rubbed her sleepy eyes.

With the arrival of the Emperor, they were still safe. Now she could rest easy.

However, she was curious to see what exactly the Empress intended to do.

"Is Youyou inside?" The Emperor looked towards the inner chamber’s curtain.

The Empress smiled and said, "Yes, they are inside. Your Majesty, please take a seat first. This matter today is indeed infuriating, but don’t be hasty, please listen slowly to what this concubine has to tell you."

Gu Youyou stood up with Xiang Chun’s support and hurriedly straightened her appearance.

Hearing the Empress’s words, she then sat back down on the bed.

What could it be that would anger the Emperor? Since she was not called upon, she decided not to go out yet.

Miss Du at that side had already fallen asleep. She had been tormented for a whole day and night and could no longer withstand it.

The two children were sleeping by her side, quiet and undisturbed, probably resting securely.

The Empress stood beside the Emperor and suddenly sighed deeply, saying to him, "I know you like holding your grandsons, especially Zijin’s, as he is the legitimate eldest son. His children are naturally different from those of King Jin and Prince Qin!"

The Emperor interrupted, "Hey, how can you speak like that? To me, their children are all the same."

The Empress, touched to tears, quickly corrected herself, "Yes, they are all the same, but no matter who gives birth, they must truly be imperial grandchildren, right?

But Youyou and Zijin are being reckless.

Just to please you and make you happy, they actually brought in a common woman to have a child on their behalf. "

"What?" The Emperor stood up abruptly.

He had also looked into Gu Youyou, knowing that she used to be a medicinal subject, but whether a medicinally afflicted subject could have children of her own was an unknown.
