Yu Yao looked complicated when she heard the news.
The body of Yu Wan was taken away by the people of Yongling Marquis Manor, and the funeral was also arranged by them.
Li Luoshu hates Yu Wan for ruining his prospects, and he wouldn't care about these matters at all.
Even more, she was divorced from Yu Wan and removed from the family registry.
After death, her position in the ancestral temple could not be included in the Li family.
Yu Wan is a married daughter, and she no longer belongs to the Yongling Marquis Manor. Although her parents' family can help arrange her funeral, her position cannot be included in the lineup.
She cannot enter either her husband's ancestral temple or her parents' ancestral temple, leaving her as a wandering spirit.
Li Luoshu's actions can be said to be extremely ruthless, and at the same time, it also shows how much he hated Yu Wan.
The Marquis of Yongling fell seriously ill with anger, feeling that his eyes were blind for having married his daughter into such a husband.
Meng's family shouted angrily, cursing Li Luoshu as heartless, without conscience, and cold-blooded.
Li Luoshu's prospects were destroyed, and he no longer had the humble and obedient appearance of the past. Instead, his face was filled with gloom.
He didn't care about the slurs from Meng's family and paid no attention to them.
Li Luoshu was not a person who would simply accept his fate. He used various means to come into contact with the Crown Prince Nangong Momo and, after employing some strategies, became a consultant for Nangong Momo.
During the reign of Emperor Qiming, he no longer had a chance to hold office, so he devoted himself entirely to assisting Nangong Momo.
Nangong Momo highly appreciated this person. He was very talented, had exceptional wisdom, and was a master of all kinds of strategies. Moreover, he was very versatile in dealing with people.
He was very adept at manipulating power and was also very skilled in understanding human psychology.
Although cold and cruel in nature, if used well, he could be a valuable tool in one's hands.
It is very suitable for his current situation.
Nangong Momo, despite being the Crown Prince and seemingly secure in his position, had several brothers who were eyeing his seat from behind. They were constantly scheming to pull him down and take his place.
It's just that Li Luoshu has too much ambition and is not easy to control.
But Nangong Momo believed in his ability and believed that he had the talent to control Li Luoshu.
He handed over many tough tasks to Li Luoshu to handle, which naturally also had a testing purpose.
Li Luoshu is a very capable person. He was just lacking in opportunities before, but now that he has the chance, he naturally takes full advantage of it.
Under the guidance of Li Luoshu, the second, third, and other ambitious princes were all defeated and their forces were completely dismantled.
Among them, the third prince's forces were the most severely dealt with, and he was hit heavily several times.
Being forced to this extent, the third prince became disheartened and withdrew from the government, hiding at home to cultivate himself and began to practice Buddhism.
Yu Yao, upon hearing this, did not feel surprised.
Li Luoshu was a powerful minister in a past life, known for his ability to change the weather and who even later became so feared that even Emperor Qiming was wary of him.
However, after Nangong Momo became the ruler, he tightly suppressed Li Luoshu and used him to eliminate enemies and consolidate his power, ensuring that no turbulence arose.
……
Twins are prone to premature birth and are very risky. When Yu Yao was nearly eight months pregnant, Nangong Yan secretly ordered people to look for renowned doctors and midwives.
He even went to the palace personally to seek help from Emperor Qiming, dispatching the best doctors in the palace to Jin Wang's mansion, waiting for Yu Yao's delivery.
When she was nearly nine months pregnant, her stomach suddenly started to hurt in waves, and then she felt something flowing out.
She immediately realized that she was going to give birth, but she didn't panic. She quickly told Nangong Yan beside her, "I think I'm having a baby."
Nangong Yan was instantly alarmed. He threw away the book in his hand, quickly scooped her up and exclaimed, "Hurry up, bring people! The worldly princess is giving birth."
The birth of the princess consort was a major event, and everyone in the prince's residence became busy.
The delivery room and all the necessary things for childbirth were prepared in advance.
Even King Jin and the princess of Jin with a pregnancy of five months came over, looking tense and waiting in the courtyard.
In the delivery room.
Yu Yao didn't rush to lie down on the bed, instead she walked around the room. This was more conducive to childbirth.
Five midwives took turns to examine her, and all the childbirth items were prepared in advance. Scissors were also boiled in hot water and disinfected.
"Princess Consort, it's time. Let the maids help you lie down."
One of the midwives looked like she was about to deliver, so she walked over and said.
Yu Yao nodded slightly and soon lay down on the bed.
Taking advantage of the midwife's inattention, Yu Yan secretly took out a painless labor pill from her space and swallowed it.
"Princess Consort, you have two children in your belly, and it will be painful in a while. Please listen to the instructions of the servant and it will save some of your energy."
One of the midwives spoke on the side.
Yu Yan nodded slightly, "Okay."
As she has given birth several times before, she naturally knows how to give birth.
This is the first time this body gives birth.
Thanks to the painless labor pill, she barely felt any pain.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, she occasionally still let out a few cries of pain.
So, from outside, Nangong Yan could hear her cries of pain and was terrified, almost wanting to burst in.
However, she was tightly held back by Jin's wife, "Don't go in, if you go in now, it will only distract her and be detrimental to her delivery."
In fact, Jin's wife also felt that Yu Yan did not call out much, which was quite tolerant. She thought Yu Yan was very scared when she gave birth to Nangong Yan.
Upon hearing that his presence would affect the birth, Nangong Yan was frightened and gave up on the idea of rushing in.
However, his eyes were staring intently at the delivery room door, and he was extremely nervous and scared.
In the delivery room.
Yu Yan, following the midwife's instructions, took deep breaths, then gave a mighty push when told to.
"A..."
Along with a piercing scream, the baby's loud cry echoed throughout the prince's residence.
"It's a boy! Princess Consort has given birth to a little prince."
"There's still one in her belly!"
"Princess Consort, please try your best. Push as hard as you did just now."
The other child in Yu Yan's belly also came out quickly, and the midwife said it was a daughter.
"Congratulations, Princess Consort! A pair of dragon and phoenix twins, what a good fortune."
One of the midwives said with great joy.
The two newly born children were quickly washed and wrapped in swaddling clothes. They were then brought to Yu Yan's side, and she was allowed to see them.
"Princess Consort, the prince and miss are very beautiful. They are bound to be a handsome prince and a beautiful lady when they grow up."
The midwife said some flattering words on the side.
Yu Yan weakly smiled and said, "How can you tell if they are pretty or not? They're so small."
She glanced at them and found that they were indeed quite good-looking. Unlike the usual newborns with wrinkled faces, they were fair and plump, and their size was not small.
She couldn't tell which one was the son and which one was the daughter. They looked exactly the same to her.
"Take them out and show them to the prince and princess."
She weakly said this, and then she fell asleep in exhaustion.
Outside the delivery room, Nangong Yan heard the cries of the baby and knew that a birth had occurred inside.
Without waiting for the midwife to bring the baby out, he rushed in.
"Congratulations, Prince Nangong! Princess Yu has given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. Both mother and children are safe and sound."
Two midwives held the babies to the front, one on either side, their faces filled with joy as they respectfully said.
"Very good, very good. Rewards will be given to all of you."
Nangong Yan looked at the newly born pair of children, naturally feeling very happy.
Although they were twins, they were not small in size. Their tiny arms and legs were flailing about, full of energy.
It's clear that they were well taken care of in the womb, and Nangong Yan's smile became even more radiant.
After looking at the children, he started to worry about his wife, "How is Princess Consort?"
"Your Highness, Princess Consort is exhausted and has fallen asleep. She is not in any danger."
The midwife holding the boy said.
Upon hearing that his wife was fine and just too exhausted to sleep, Nangong Yan felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Then, to the two midwives, he said, "Bring the children out and show them to the king and queen."
After speaking, he walked to the bedside.
Nangong Yan looked at his wife's damp bangs and her exhausted, sleeping expression, gently stroking her eyebrows and eyes with compassion.
He took her hand and kissed it, his eyes full of tenderness, as if they would melt. His voice was low and tender as he said, "Yao'er, thank you. Thank you for giving me such adorable children."
