Chapter 914 Finale
Chapter 914 Finale
Half a year later, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi were looking at the map of Daqian's territory in the East Palace, and they both had the idea of destroying Luo and Yuanxia countries.
However, both of them knew that the time was not right yet, and that this kind of thing needed to be done slowly and not in a hurry.
Shen Shuyi stared at the territory map for a while and sighed softly.
"There have been constant wars in the past two years, and we also need to recuperate, store more food and soldiers, and develop agriculture and commerce. Yan Song's policy paper is quite interesting." Shen Shuyi collected his thoughts and took out the article that Yan Song had read yesterday.
Because he died in the same year as his brother, and a few years earlier than in his previous life, Yan Song did not get the top spot in this life, and his ranking was not even very high.
However, just like in his previous life, Yan Song is a man with ideas. The most valuable thing about him is that he makes rapid progress and can quickly absorb and accept new things and put them to good use.
"Take a look." Shen Shuyi stood up and planned to hand the article to Xie Jingchi.
Her belly was already big at this time, but as soon as she moved, she suddenly felt a warm current flowing out, and then her stomach began to hurt indescribably.
Xie Jingchi quickly stepped forward and picked her up: "Are you about to give birth? Quick, call the midwife and the imperial physician!"
Jinzhu and others were waiting outside the hall. When they heard the news, they were a little flustered for a moment.
Fortunately, the midwife, the imperial physician, and the female doctor were already prepared, and everything needed for delivery had been placed in place.
"Your Highness, please step aside first." The midwife politely asked Xie Jingchi to go outside.
Unfortunately, Xie Jingchi was only willing to retreat behind the screen but was unwilling to leave the room.
"Your Highness, the area where women give birth is extremely dirty. Please move away..." Imperial Doctor Zhang stepped forward and advised earnestly.
Xie Jingchi's eyes darkened as he glared at him coldly: "If you have time to worry about these trivial matters, you might as well pray that the Crown Princess and the child are safe."
Doctor Zhang's heart tightened, and he shrank his neck and dared not persuade him anymore.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu also hurried over and stood guard in the yard, anxious and worried.
The group tossed and turned for almost the entire night, only to see basins of blood being carried out continuously. Xie Jingchi became increasingly agitated.
"What happened? Why is there no sound?" Xie Jingchi grabbed a midwife who came out.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is a little exhausted and about to faint. Imperial Physician Zhang just had us give her some ginseng slices to hold in her mouth and also had someone make some soup."
Xie Jingchi let her go, turned around, jumped over the screen and walked in.
"Your Highness can't!"
The group exclaimed, but it was too late.
Xie Jingchi walked quickly to the bedside and saw that Shen Shuyi's face was pale, his lips were dry, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Xie Jingchi's throat tightened, he grabbed Shen Shuyi's hand, and stood by the bed, his eyes sore and full of worry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Shushu, we won't have another baby next time."
Shen Shuyi's vision was blurred. He had never thought it would hurt so much.
Fortunately, ever since he knew she was pregnant, Mr. Liancheng has been taking care of her body, and Qinxin and Jianpo also take her to exercise regularly.
However, it is still more difficult than expected.
"My queen, we've reached the end! Just a little harder and we'll give birth!" The midwife kept encouraging.
Several maids were standing by, their faces pale and filled with worry.
Shen Shuyi held Xie Jingchi's hand tightly, feeling suffocated and in pain.
Fortunately, the sky brightened, and the seven-colored rays of light covered the earth. A loud baby cry resounded through the sky, bringing life to this quiet morning.
"It's out, it's out! It's a little prince, congratulations, Your Highness!"
The midwife smiled happily and hurriedly handed the child to Xie Jingchi. Unfortunately, Xie Jingchi didn't bother to look at him, but just stared at Shen Shuyi who was almost exhausted.
The Queen Mother came in and said, "Quick, let me see it."
The midwife handed the child over, and the Queen Mother's eyes were filled with joy: "Good, very good!"
But at this moment, the movement in the room has not stopped. The midwife kept persuading Shen Shuyi: "My queen, you can't sleep. There is still a baby in your belly. Please try harder!"
Shen Shuyi gritted her teeth and exerted force a few more times until she felt her whole body relax. As the baby's crying sounded, she fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Jingchi's eyes were moist. He held her hand tightly and kissed her cheek lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Shushu. I love you."

Shen Shuyi gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and the Crown Prince was born. Emperor Qianwu and the Empress Dowager were very happy.
Rewards flowed into the Eastern Palace like water.
Xie Jingchi, oh no, or it should be said that it was Xiao Jingchi who asked Emperor Qianwu to name the children. Emperor Qianwu summoned all the ministers and discussed for a whole night before the names of the two children were decided.
The boy's name is Xiao Chengjin and the girl's name is Xiao Jingyi.
The boy's name was taken from Emperor Qianwu and the second prince Xiao Huaijin, which secretly concealed Emperor Qianwu's guilt and longing for his brother, as well as his debt and compensation to Yin Qiling.
Similarly, it is also a beautiful wish for him, hoping that he can be as good at civil and military affairs as Emperor Qianwu, and as gentlemanly and upright as Xiao Huaijin.
As for the girl, the character "Yi" was taken from the homonym of the last character of Shen Shuyi's name, which shows Emperor Qianwu's expectation for her. He hoped that she would become a smart and intelligent woman like Shen Shuyi in the future, as well as a kind woman.
At the same time, Emperor Qianwu announced that the crown prince would begin to govern the country.
Three months later, Emperor Qianwu announced his abdication and was succeeded by the ninth prince Xiao Jingchi. Shen Shuyi was promoted to empress, Xiao Chengjin was made crown prince, and Xiao Jingyi was made princess.
Xiao Ziqian originally wanted to compete for the throne, but since he knew that Xie Jingchi was the Canglang King, he gave up this idea.
He had fought against the enemy together with the Wolf King and was convinced by him.
What's more, the Wolf King had saved his life before.
So he didn't want to fight, and he couldn't win.
On the day of the coronation ceremony, Xie Jingchi was dressed in a black dragon robe, with a majestic look in his eyes, while Shen Shuyi wore a red and gold phoenix robe and a golden crown on his head. The two of them climbed up the jade steps step by step to the sound of ritual music and stopped at the high platform.
All the ministers knelt down.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"
Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi stood in the main hall, looking at the ministers kneeling, feeling a little dazed.
On the day of her rebirth, she never thought that one day she would ascend to the throne and conquer the world.
Once, she was trapped in the most profound hatred, and she also doubted and loathed herself. But along the way, she discovered that the world is vast and there is much to do, and the mountains and rivers are vast, so she should soar up!
Since they are in their positions and should shoulder their responsibilities, she and Xiao Jingchi will always reflect on themselves, encourage each other, and always take the safety of the lives of the people of the world and the prosperity and peace of the country as their own responsibility.
Xie Jingchi turned to look at Shen Shuyi, and raised the corners of his lips: "Shushu, thank you for appearing in my world. You sit with me in this vast land, and you share this glorious imperial power with me!"
Shen Shuyi smiled brightly: "I only hope that we will be together through thick and thin in the future, and never leave each other."
The two men turned their heads and looked at the ministers below the jade steps. The sun was rising, and the hall was covered with golden fragments. The dazzling golden glow was warm and majestic.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were firm, full of expectations and ambitions for the future.
It is up to us to create a peaceful and prosperous era in this vast land and magnificent mountains and rivers!
