Chapter 334: Concubine Rong is Pregnant...
Thinking of this, the emperor felt that there was still a long time to go!
Besides, since she has become younger, there are so many young concubines in the harem, so there is no need to waste too much energy on Concubine Rong.

He should sow more seeds at this time, who knows if the field will grow crops!
So he immediately told Concubine Rong:
"My beloved, please go back and rest. You must not disclose the fact that I have regained my youth, and you must not reveal any flaws. At the same time, you must also pay attention to whether you are pregnant!"

Concubine Rong heaved a sigh of relief, and then said:

"I know the seriousness of the matter and will not reveal it. I will definitely give birth to a child for Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked in the mirror and saw that he looked at least ten years younger. He felt delighted.

I'm still thinking about which concubine I should favor tonight, but it's a pity that I only have one month to recover. It would be better if the time could be longer!

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!" The eunuch urged the emperor again.

Afterwards, the emperor put on his dragon robe with the help of the palace maids, and then happily went to court, and made some necessary arrangements by the way.

However, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about Lin Hao, who was still imprisoned in the side hall, and Lin Hao was not in a hurry at all.

Because he took advantage of his free time now to deduce his future plans again.

It was because of the unexpected situation last night. After giving the emperor a month of life, he should have returned to the side hall and wait for the development of the situation.

As a result, he slept with Concubine Rong and was discovered by her, so he had to adjust his plans.

However, there was another gain last night. Lin Hao discovered that the use of illusion skills has a time limit.

Lin Hao discovered that each illusion can last for 15 minutes, which just corresponds to 15 points of mental power attribute. After this time, the illusion will be shattered, and it is necessary to start arranging the illusion again.

But it's not a big problem, you just need to be careful when using it.

Just when Lin Hao was making new plans, Concubine Rong returned to her own bedroom. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief, and her agitated mood finally calmed down!
Although he was forced to sign a humiliating treaty in the emperor's bedroom before, he also gained the support of Lin Hao, which should be the support of Duke Ying and Duke Rong of the Zhang family.

The Duke of England is the most powerful force in the military. Thinking of this, Concubine Rong suddenly remembered that she has a biological sister, Rong Feiyan.

If he married his sister to Duke Rong, with the help of the two sisters, he would be able to tie the Rong and Zhang families together, and then his position would be completely secure.

If I give birth to another son, the throne will definitely belong to my son in the future, which means a lifetime of wealth and glory!

Thinking of this, Concubine Rong immediately sent someone to summon the female official that Lin Hao mentioned!

This female official was the intelligence officer that Lin Hao had arranged in the palace two years ago. Lin Hao had installed a radio station in the palace, and this palace maid was the carrier pigeon, responsible for delivering messages!
······
next day
The emperor finally remembered the loyal Duke Rong who was still imprisoned in a side hall, so he sent someone to invite Lin Hao to the study!
After entering the study, Lin Hao immediately discovered that the emperor looked to be less than 40 years old, but Lin Hao could tell that he was wearing makeup.

I should be around 30 years old now, and I will be 25 tomorrow, in full vigor and vitality.

Lin Hao looked at the emperor who was in high spirits. He probably didn't know that he had once again sneaked into the palace last night and accidentally discovered Concubine Rong's bed!

The emperor, who was in high spirits at the moment, knew that Lin Hao had been wronged in the past two days. In addition, he wanted to compensate Lin Hao for his contribution of medicine, so he asked:

"I'm sorry for inconveniencing you these past two days, but I've also seen your loyalty. I'll grant you whatever reward you want!"

Lin Hao showed a kind smile on his face. He had really considered this matter, but he didn't know whether the emperor would agree, so he said:

"Your Majesty, can I and my sister choose our own marriage?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor slowly stopped smiling and was thinking about this matter in his heart!

How can a marriage be chosen casually for the most powerful family in the military? It would be fine if it was a small family or a civil servant family.

If they continue to combine with other major military forces, the entire Song Dynasty’s military will probably become a one-man show controlled by the Zhang family!

So the emperor thought about it and decided to ask in a roundabout way:
"My dear! Do you have someone you like?"

Lin Hao knew that the emperor would not easily agree to this matter, so there was nothing to be disappointed about. He regained his composure and said:
"That's not the case, but I am almost old enough to get married. Otherwise, I will be like my father, who is still unmarried in his thirties!"

The emperor also knew that this matter was unfair to the Zhang family, which resulted in the Zhang family now having few members, so he comforted them:
"In that case, if you have someone you like, I will discuss it with you!"

"Thank you for your grace!"

Lin Hao's original plan was to seek the title of king, so that he could marry a princess, take two concubines, and many concubines.

In this way, Lin Hao could catch all the female characters in one fell swoop, but now it seems unnecessary.

Because next, it depends on whether Concubine Rong gives birth to a son or a daughter. This is very particular, and Lin Hao has different coping plans.
······
One month later!

"Imperial Physician, how is Concubine Rong?" At this moment, the Imperial Physician was taking Concubine Rong's pulse. The Emperor was standing beside her, looking somewhat anxious and apprehensive.

This morning, Concubine Rong sent someone to deliver a message saying that she had symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite in the morning.

The emperor, who had regained his old age, was secretly sad, so he didn't take it seriously at first, but the eunuch beside him reminded the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong would not send someone to deliver a message for no reason. The symptoms the maid just mentioned are the symptoms of pregnancy! Could it be...?"

After the eunuch's reminder, the emperor was suddenly shocked. If Concubine Rong was really pregnant, he would have a child soon!

Thinking of this, the emperor didn't care about anything else and immediately called two imperial doctors to come to Concubine Rong's bedroom to take her pulse!

This was not the first time that Concubine Rong was pregnant. When her period did not come this month, she suspected that she might be pregnant, but she remained calm and told no one.

Instead, he passed the news to Lin Hao, and after Lin Hao received the news, he sneaked into the palace again.

He used the medical skills he had learned during this period to check her pulse, but unfortunately his skills were not good enough. It felt like a pregnancy pulse, but Lin Hao was not sure!

However, Lin Hao felt that there was a high probability that she was pregnant, so the two of them decided to wait for a while to see if there were any early pregnancy symptoms!
Today, Concubine Rong clearly felt the same feeling as when she was first pregnant, so she sent someone to send a message to the emperor!

One has to worry about any unexpected event, so Concubine Rong was very nervous and hoped to get a definite reply from the imperial physician!

If it is true, then she is the greatest hero of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, as a mother will be honored by her son, she will no longer have to look at the queen's face, and her life of wealth and glory is guaranteed.

The two of them waited anxiously. At this time, one of the imperial doctors closed his eyes and quietly checked Rong Fei's pulse, while the other imperial doctor began to ask:

"I wonder if the Queen's Tiankui is on time?"

"I haven't been here this month!" replied Concubine Rong.

The doctor asked again, "Did you have indigestion these past two days?"

"No, I'm eating normally!"

After asking a few more questions, the two doctors looked at each other and had an idea in mind, so they said with a smile:
"The Imperial Concubine's pulse is slippery, and much stronger than usual!"

"There are no symptoms of phlegm, food accumulation, dampness and heat in the body!" "The preliminary diagnosis of the two officials is that it should be a happy pulse!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physician did not say enough, but others did not care, so the emperor's personal eunuch immediately congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant. Your Majesty is having an heir!"

"Good~"

Upon hearing this, the emperor was so excited that he was like a fifty-year-old child and actually jumped up with excitement!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..."

“Hahahaha…!” The emperor laughed loudly and waved his hand:
"Rewards! A thousand taels of silver will be given to the two imperial doctors. Also, the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards on duty today will all be rewarded!"

It can be seen that the emperor was extremely happy, but it was obviously too early for him to be happy...!

However, the emperor should be happy about the news that followed, because it was not only Concubine Rong who was pregnant.

After confirming that Concubine Rong was pregnant, the emperor immediately sent people to take the pulse of the other concubines he had favored.

As a result, good news kept coming, and two other concubines were also diagnosed with pregnancy. At this time, the emperor cried with joy!

"I finally got it!"

Then the emperor said to the eunuch, "Pass on my order and ask Duke Rong to come and see me!"

"Yes, sir!" The eunuch then immediately went to the Duke of England's mansion to convey the order.

However, Lin Hao was not seen at the Duke of England's mansion. After some inquiries, he found out that Lin Hao had gone to study at the Sheng family private school!
After some trouble, Lin Hao was finally brought from Sheng's house to the emperor's study!
"Your Majesty, Duke Rong is here."

"Xuan~"

"See Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, my dear, thank you for your hard work!"

The emperor personally stepped forward to help Lin Hao, who was bowing, stand up and said with joy:
"Duke Rong, you have made a great contribution to my having an heir this time!"

"Tell me what you want, and I will satisfy you!"

Lin Hao no longer had any hope for the emperor's blank checks, because the emperor could not give him anything he wanted.

The emperor's words are golden and jade-like. Moreover, the emperor was in a good mood at the moment. Logically speaking, as long as Lin Hao dared to ask, the emperor should agree.

For example, if I were to confer a title of king on him, would the emperor agree?
Not to mention whether the emperor would agree or not, even if the emperor agreed, Lin Hao no longer cared about these empty promises.

If it was before he spent the night on the dragon bed, Lin Hao really wanted to be a king. After all, that would be very beneficial to his plan.

Probably the only thing that is useful to Lin Hao now is to have real military power, which is what Lin Hao needs.

However, Lin Hao knew that if he asked for military power at this time, not only would he not get it, but it might even arouse the emperor's suspicion.

He has been emperor for decades, and it's not for nothing.

Don’t think that Emperor Renzong is really kind. If you take that seriously, you’d be a fool. This old guy is very smart!
Therefore, Lin Hao not only did not ask for a reward, but asked with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty, the news of Concubine Rong's pregnancy has probably spread by now, right?"

At this time, Lin Hao showed his loyalty to the emperor and seemed to consider everything for the emperor. How could he not pour a bucket of cold water on him?

"Of course it has to be spread!" The emperor said without thinking: "The dispute over the succession has lasted for so many years, it's time to end it!"

"I want to let those civil and military officials know that I have a successor. Stop talking to me about adoption all day long~!"

Having said this, the emperor suddenly stopped and couldn't continue.

After all, having been the emperor for so many years, the emperor's reaction speed was not slow. He was just overwhelmed by the momentary excitement.

But after Lin Hao's reminder, he immediately realized the problem!
Prince Yan and Prince Yong have been fighting for the throne and their heads are bloody!

At this time, the news came out that Concubine Rong was pregnant. How could these two let it go!

Lin Hao's reminder just now made the emperor realize that they might send people to harm Concubine Rong and the other two pregnant concubines.

"Come here!" The emperor immediately ordered loudly: "Stop the news immediately, and lock up the eunuchs, palace maids and guards on duty today in the palace. Do not allow them to contact anyone..."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late now!" Lin Hao shook his head and interrupted, "There are many spies in the palace, and Prince Yong's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion should all know about it by now!

"What should I do?" The emperor was at a loss for a moment.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take the initiative and give these two princes~" Lin Hao made a gesture of wiping his neck.

As a loyal minister, you should always consider the best of His Majesty, right?
And given the emperor's kindness, he would definitely not agree.

Of course, if the emperor agreed, Lin Hao would really do it without hesitation.

Sure enough, the emperor's expression changed several times when he heard this, but he finally gave up this tempting idea.

Then the emperor shook his head and said:

"No, Prince Yan and Prince Yong have done nothing wrong. I cannot attack my two nephews for no reason. If this gets out, it will damage my reputation for benevolence!"

Haha, this woman's kindness is only for the sake of the so-called reputation of virtue. Lin Hao had long seen through the emperor's hypocritical nature.

Although he had expected that the emperor would not take action against the two princes, Lin Hao still couldn't help but complain.

Then Lin Hao made another suggestion, but this time it was much more reliable:
"In that case, we can only send more guards to strengthen the protection of the ladies. For example, let the relatives of the ladies who are pregnant with dragon seeds be responsible for guarding their bedrooms.
The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded and said:
"This is a good idea. Their relatives are probably more worried about their safety than I am. Letting them serve as guards is indeed the best choice!"

"But I'm not at ease relying on them alone!" Having said that, the emperor looked at Lin Hao again.

Lin Hao not only contributed the elixir that can restore youth, but also put forward feasible suggestions time and time again, which shows his loyalty to him.

Therefore, the emperor gave an order that surprised Lin Hao.
