Chapter 288: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 31
In the following days, Yu Yao rested and took care of her pregnancy in the Prince Qin's mansion, and her belly gradually grew bigger.

It's been more than four months.

The court doctor came to check Ping'an's pulse several times, but he only saw twins and did not realize that she was pregnant with three.

But even so, Xiangling, Xiangju and the others were ecstatic.

Every day I am in high spirits and serve carefully.

Everything from food to daily life, no matter how big or small, is arranged properly, for fear of any omission.

Cining Palace.

The afternoon sun shines softly through the carved window lattices onto the floor of the house, casting a golden glow.

The Dowager sat back on the couch, and was very happy when the palace maid reported that Concubine Yu of the Prince of Qin's Mansion was pregnant with twins.

Originally, because of the rumors from the outside world, she was suspicious for a while and secretly sent people to investigate.

It was not until nothing was found out and it was discovered that the rumor was spread by people sent by the deposed queen that he felt relieved.

"This pregnancy with twins is a great joy. Go and give her the pair of jade bracelets with excellent water content that I have, and the South China Sea pearl necklace as well."

The Queen Mother was so happy that she asked the nanny beside her to go to the Prince of Qin's mansion to deliver the reward.

Nanny Li came out and bowed slightly: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please be merciful. Concubine Yu will surely be grateful to you."

The Queen Mother smiled and continued, "Pick out a few pieces of the finest Shu brocade and Su brocade to make clothes for the child. Also send her the statue of Guanyin carved from Hetian jade, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless her so that she can give birth to a child safely."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Nanny Li agreed respectfully and quickly retreated.

Zichen Hall, Xuanyuan Zan’s bedroom.

It was a dark night, and the dim moonlight shone through the window screen, casting a faint glow in the bedroom.

Xuanyuan Zan sat at the desk, holding a brush tightly in his hand, frowning, and said to the chief eunuch Li An beside him: "Concubine Yu is pregnant with twins, I am so worried..."

The branches outside the window swayed back and forth in the night wind, occasionally hitting the window frames, making a "bang bang" sound, making the quiet night even more desolate.

Li An knew a little about His Majesty's thoughts, but she was the King of Qin's woman. No matter how much the Emperor liked her, he couldn't think about her.

Anyone with eyes can see how much the King of Qin dotes on Concubine Yu. If the King of Qin knew what the Emperor was thinking, there would probably be some kind of chaos.

The King of Qin is no ordinary prince. He enjoys extremely high prestige in the army and among the people, and he is also the Emperor's brother.

If he wants to do anything, he may not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

Of course, he wouldn't dare say such words unless he didn't want to have a head anymore.

Li An suppressed his thoughts, bowed his body, and replied carefully: "Your Majesty, this is a great joyous event for the Qin Palace, you should be happy."

Xuanyuan Zan put down his brush heavily and sighed: "I know this too, but the feeling is hard to describe...Okay, you can leave now."

Tai Li An hunched over and retreated, closing the door gently.

Xuanyuan Zan looked at the dark night sky outside the window, his thoughts in a mess.

He paced back and forth in the bedroom, the entanglement and conflict in his heart becoming more and more intense.

Thinking of that woman, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

"It's true... three thousand beauties are not as good as her smile."

Unfortunately, she belongs to someone else and he can't snatch her away.

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and he continued to look at the letter in his hand.

Qin Palace, Mingxi Courtyard.

Yu Yao didn't know what was happening in the palace.

She asked Xiangling to put the empress dowager's reward into the storehouse, then she lay lazily on the couch, casually flipping through the storybook in her hand.

She looked bored, and the script in her hand was just repeating the same old routine over and over again.

It's nothing more than a story about a rich girl falling in love with a poor scholar, and then the girl's parents breaking up the couple.

There's really nothing new.

He threw the scripture in his hand aside and suddenly had the urge to go to the front line in the Western Region.

Although the battlefield is dangerous, it is much more interesting than staying in this mansion, and I can also cultivate feelings with Xuanyuan City.

It's her belly, and it's triplets...

The conditions on the battlefield are harsh. Let’s not talk about whether we can get enough nutrition there.

I'm afraid I can't stand the bumpy ride.

Triplets are no joke. Even if you take pregnancy-preserving pills, it's not foolproof.

After thinking about it this way, I gave up the idea.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like a layer of golden gauze, sprinkling on the vast land of the Western Regions, adding a touch of mystery and tragic color to this desolate land.

Xuanyuan Cheng led the army to successfully arrive at the border of the Western Regions and quickly set up camp.

Inside the tent, candlelight flickered.

Xuanyuan City and the generals were gathering around a huge military map and began to make careful deployment.

He tapped the map with his finger and said in a steady and powerful voice: "This place is in a dangerous position, with towering mountains on both sides and a narrow valley in the middle. It is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. We must send elite troops to garrison here, set up multiple defense lines, and be ready for battle."

"Not only should we take advantage of the terrain and set up traps, antlers and other defensive fortifications, but we should also pay close attention to the enemy's movements. Once the enemy attacks, we must strike them head-on and make sure they have no chance to return. We must not allow the enemy to take advantage of us at all."

An experienced veteran clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission. Even if we fight to the last man, we will never retreat!"

Another young general was rubbing his hands, eager to give it a try: "I am willing to be the vanguard, charge into battle, and open up a path for the army!"

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded slightly: "You are all loyal and brave men of my Jing country. This battle is related to the honor of the country and the peace of the people. We should work together to defeat the enemy and enhance the prestige of my Jing country!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve the prince and sacrifice our lives for the Jing Kingdom!"

In the distant royal court of the Western Regions, the night is shrouded and the cold moon hangs high in the sky.

Torches flickered in the royal court, and light and shadows intertwined, illuminating everyone's faces in flickering light.

Chief Burto sat on the throne with a very gloomy look on his face.

"We in the Western Regions pay tribute every year, and this year we sent a lot of treasures and beauties. But the Jing Kingdom is not satisfied and has taken the initiative to invade our Western Region border. This is simply too much!"

He looked extremely angry and shouted loudly.

The atmosphere in the royal court was tense and everyone was silent.

Ha Wuer stood below and angrily cursed: "It's all because of that woman A Yao. If she hadn't betrayed us temporarily and refused to assassinate Xuanyuan Cheng, Xuanyuan Cheng would have died long ago. There would be no such thing as today. This woman ruined our plan. She is so hateful!"

Burto suppressed his anger and said with a cold look: "It is useless to say this now. The most urgent task is to discuss how to deal with the aggressive Jingguo army."

Ha Wuer cursed for a few words, then said: "Chief, why don't we send out a death squad to attack their camp at night and catch them off guard."

An adviser shook his head and said, "Don't be reckless. The Jing army is well prepared this time. If we act rashly, we may fall into their ambush."

Everyone was arguing and the royal court was filled with noise.

Burto stood up suddenly, glared at the people below, and shouted, "Stop arguing. Send someone to find out the enemy's strength first, and then make a decision."

At the border of the Western Regions, where the Jing Kingdom’s army is stationed, the commander-in-chief’s tent.

It was a little dim, with a few oil lamps emitting faint light.

Military maps and various documents were scattered on the ground.

Dongfeng hurried in with a secret letter in his hand.

He glanced at Xuanyuan Cheng who was studying a military map, stepped forward, presented the secret letter with both hands, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, urgent letter from the capital!"

Xuanyuan Cheng quickly took it and unfolded the secret letter in his hand.

When he saw the contents inside, his handsome face instantly became cloudy and gloomy.

He knew better than anyone whether the baby in Yaoer's belly was his.

How could it be a bastard?
It's nonsense.

He held the secret letter in his hand and continued to look down.

Seeing that some people suspected Yao'er was a spy from the Western Regions, he frowned deeply.

He secretly thanked his luck that he acted quickly and sent Xifeng to erase all traces of her identity as a Western Region killer.

The letter mentioned that the rumors had been suppressed, and the queen, the culprit who spread the rumors, had been deposed and sent to the cold palace.

Xuanyuan Cheng's complexion improved a lot, and when he saw the letter saying that Yao'er was pregnant with twins, his complexion became even better.

Dongfeng saw that his master's face was first cloudy and then brightened up, and he was very curious about what the letter said.

But I didn’t dare to ask.

Xuanyuan Cheng burned the secret order in his hand, looked up at Dongfeng, and said in a deep voice: "Take a team of elite soldiers back to the capital quickly, and make sure to protect Concubine Yu and her unborn baby. If there is any disturbance, you don't need to ask for instructions, just make your own decision."

Although the queen has been deposed and turned into a lunatic, there is no guarantee that there will be other people who will do harm to Yao'er.

He would not allow anyone to hurt her or the baby in her womb.

"Yes, master."

Dongfeng bowed and agreed, then left in a hurry.
