In the main hall.

The torture instruments that Hu Xiao used today were simply too frightening, and thinking about them, it was just too terrifying.

"Your Majesty, those two in the dungeon have been killed."

"What!?" Let Zhao Qiyan come to us! "

He placed the chopsticks heavily on the table. Although Qin Shuo had previously seen Zhao Qiyan scraping the man's tongue, he did not kill him.

However, in less than a day, both of them had died!

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Empress."

After a while, Zhao Qiyan rushed over, when Qin Shuo was aware of it just now, Zhao Qiyan had already found out.

"Hmm, I heard that both the assassin and his companion were killed in prison? How could nothing have happened a few days ago, and yet, they are all being killed today? "

As usual, one could not see the expression on Qin Shuo's face, but Zhao Qiyan knew that Qin Shuo was currently in a rage.

His defense was tight for so many days, yet at this time, he was killed in prison. How could Qin Shuo not be angry!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject has done something unfavorable, so I ask that Your Majesty mete out a heavy punishment."

Right now, he had already been killed. Furthermore, it was him who had killed him, so he should receive a heavy punishment.

"It is indeed a heavy punishment. Zhao Qiyan, you didn't bring your troops around for such a long time, yet someone had actually killed someone in front of your eyes. You must be slightly slacking off."

Qin Shuo stared at Zhao Qiyan for a long while, then spoke out.

"Your Majesty, since I haven't been able to ask for so many days, this General Zhao probably didn't do it on purpose, so there's no need for me to be so concerned."

Hu Xiao saw that the situation was not good, seeing that Zhao Qiyan still had more to say, she anxiously said.

This person was simply too stubborn. Hu Xiao believed that if Zhao Qiyan said something to provoke Qin Shuo, he would definitely be heavily punished.

Forget it. Since the Queen has spoken like this, we shall do as she says. Moreover, these two people were originally handed over to the Queen to deal with.

Seeing Zhao Qiyan's expression, Qin Shuo felt slightly helpless, but he could not help but give Hu Xiao face.

What Hu Xiao said was not wrong, Qin Shuo was only angry because these people were so bold, they had already openly assassinated them once, and now they were even trying to kill him in front of their eyes the second time!

Moreover, they had already been imprisoned in the prison for such a long time. If they had come early to kill, the atmosphere would not have been so tense. Moreover, if those two had said something earlier, then they would have come to silence.

"Oh right, the Queen is almost fully recovered, Zhao Qiyan, give the order, we will begin the Southern Patrol tomorrow."

"Yes, this humble one thanks Your Majesty, thank you Empress, this humble one will take his leave."

Zhao Qiyan replied and then left.

After resting for so many days and delaying for so long, it was about time for them to depart.

On the morning of the third day, everyone had already packed everything up. Hu Xiao and Qin Shuo appeared together and started their journey.

Xue Mier, who had been frightened by Hu Xiao, did not dare to linger around in front of Hu Xiao anymore and quickly got into her carriage.

It was a rare occasion that no one was alarmed, so Hu Xiao was very satisfied with the results. After bidding farewell to Qin Shuo, she turned around and walked towards her own carriage.

The carriage jolted for a short distance, causing Xue Mier to feel that her body was unwell. In the past, such a situation would never occur, but due to Hu Xiao's threat yesterday, she was able to hold on for a long time.

After walking for some time, the sunlight was too strong, and the soldiers on the road were unable to take it. Zhao Qiyan saw a stream in front of him and gave the orders before stopping at the side.

"Your Majesty, our esteemed empress's body is a little unwell. May Your Majesty have the imperial physician take a look at her body?"

Qin Shuo was resting inside the horse carriage when he heard someone report from outside.

"Hmm? Wei Shi, bring the imperial physician over to take a look. "

Xue Mier? Is this for real again? Why have I never seen Xue Mier act like this before, it was only a bumpy journey, when did it become so unbearable?

But after a moment, Qin Shuo understood why.

"Your Majesty, congratulations, congratulations!"

But after a while, Wei Shi ran back in a hurry to say it.

"What is it?"

Hearing Wei Shi's words, Qin Shuo felt that it was weird, what was there to congratulate?

"Of course there's good news. Your Majesty, Imperial Consort Xue is already more than a month old."

Wei Shi knelt by the side and said.

This sudden news made Qin Shuo stare blankly, and his expression was no longer as ice-cold as before.

"Let This Emperor take a look."

Since this was still Qin Shuo's first child, Qin Shuo naturally had to go and take a look.

"I... Am I really pregnant? "

Inside the carriage, Xue Mier was extremely happy, the thing that made Xue Mier the happiest since the Southern Patrol.

"Of course he's pregnant. The Imperial Physician Gu is the best in the East Court, don't tell me that the Dear Consort doesn't believe the Imperial Physician Gu?"

The imperial physician wanted to continue the conversation, but he heard Qin Shuo's voice coming from the carriage, he anxiously retreated and paid his respects.

"Your Majesty, your consort pays her respects."

Just as Xue Mier was about to bow, she saw Qin Shuo quickly stop his movements.

"Dear Consort is now pregnant, so let's skip all these traditional courtesies."

Gently supporting Xue Mier, her movements was much lighter than before, causing Xue Mier to be extremely happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Shuo's attitude was much better than before, it was all because of this child that was nestling in Qin Shuo's embrace.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician had just said that chenqie had ruined your son's life. Your concubine finally has your son."

Xue Mier had been by Qin Shuo's side for a long time, and this was only their first child, how could the two of them be unhappy.

"That's right, Dear Consort has a lonely child now. It's a pity that the boat is busy and Dear Consort can't take proper rest. When we return to the palace, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Your Majesty."

Xue Mier seemed to be a little shy, her soft and small hands tightly grabbing onto the front of Qin Shuo's clothes, looking at her, it seemed as though she was very shy.

"Don't worry Dear Consort, I will stay here with you. Wei Shi, after you have rested enough, we will head out. I am here alone with Dear Consort."

Fortunately, Xue Mier's carriage was big enough, so it was not a problem for them to accommodate each other.

"Minister Wen, congratulations."

At this moment, Xue Mier's personal maid quickly came over to report the good news to him.

With the pregnancy of this Imperial Consort Xue, the ones most happy would be the Emperor and this Minister Wen.

"Congratulations? "What's wrong?"

Looking at Xue Mier's personal servant, Wen Fuchen felt strange. It couldn't be that Xue Mier had succeeded, but she was on her way right now, so how could she possibly succeed?

"Minister Wen, the Empress has already had a doctor by her side. The Empress is already one month pregnant."
