Chapter 202: After the Monk
Jiaofang Hall.

When Zheng Yi stepped into the main hall, he was immediately greeted by a group of concubines.

"I have met your Majesty!"

In addition to the Queen, there were also Concubine Yu who was pregnant, Concubine Chan, and others, even Concubine Qing and Concubine Yin were here.

All of them are pregnant. Concubine Yu, Concubine Chan and Concubine Cui are in very close pregnancy periods and are expected to give birth in the next few days.

The Qing Fei and Yin Fei will also arrive around next month.

In other words, Zheng Yi is almost having ten sons.

At that time, a new three thousand worlds will open up for him!
"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"How is Concubine Cui?"

"Your Majesty, the midwife has been in for almost half an hour, the baby should be born soon."

"Half an hour, so long?"

Before, the Queen and Concubine Duan only took an incense stick of time to give birth. Why was Concubine Cui so slow?

Lu Lin'er comforted him, "Your Majesty, this is Sister Xia Bing's first birth, so it's inevitable that there will be some difficulties."

"But don't worry, there are so many doctors and midwives in the palace, my sister will be fine."

"Ah."

Hearing Lu Lin'er say this, Zheng Yi also nodded.

Sure enough, after waiting for about a cup of tea, a loud cry was finally heard in the room.

"Wow wow wow..."

"call……"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and soon a wet nurse came out quickly holding a baby.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Cui has given birth to a prince for Your Majesty~!"

Prince!

Another prince!

Many concubines were surprised, but they quickly reacted and knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..."

"My beloved concubines, please stand up quickly!"

Zheng Yi grabbed Concubine Yu and Concubine Chan who were about to kneel down, and signaled to the Queen with his eyes to support Concubine Qing and others.

These concubines were all pregnant and dared not move casually.

It would not be good if the fetus was hurt because of these little things.

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "This is also the blessing of our ancestors. Hurry up and bring the child over so I can see him."

"His Majesty."

Picking up the child, Zheng Yi observed him carefully.

Similar to the previous newborn babies, the child in her arms had wrinkled skin and eyes closed, looking like a little monkey.

But he has a rosy face and double eyelids, so he must be a beauty like his mother Cui Xiabing.

I just don’t know if this child in my arms will have spiritual roots?

"Wow wow~"

Xu felt a little cold, and the baby started crying immediately. Zheng Yi tried to coax the baby for a while but it didn't get better, so he could only hand the baby to the wet nurse beside him.

"You wait here, I will go see Concubine Cui."

"promise!"

"Also, Cheng'en."

"The servant is here."

"Send Concubine Yu, Concubine Chan, and the other pregnant concubines back to the palace to rest."

"promise!"

The concubines left, and Zheng Yi came to the bedroom.

"Your Majesty~"

Perhaps it was because Concubine Cui was a monk and had a strong physique, so after giving birth, she did not lie down to rest, but was able to sit up.

"My dear, please lie down quickly."

"Your Majesty, it's not necessary. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. It's good to sit for a while."

Zheng Yi came over and sat beside the bed, and asked lovingly, "My beloved concubine, how are you feeling?"

"Everything was fine, except for some pain during delivery, but it was much easier afterwards."

Cui Xiabing smiled and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, have you seen our child?"

"I have seen her. She is very cute."

"I have finally lived up to your majesty's trust and have given birth to a prince for Dayu."

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear~"

"By the way, I wonder if Your Majesty has chosen a name for our child?"

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I've already thought about it."

"Now I have four princes, the eldest son Zheng Chengji born to Empress Lu Lin'er, the second prince Zheng Chengwu born to Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan, the third prince Zheng Chengrui born to Concubine Lan Lingrong, and our child."

"but……"

Zheng Yi whispered, "The mothers of Chengji, Chengwu, and Chengrui are all mortals. There is a high probability that their physiques are just mortals and they do not have spiritual roots."

"And you are the first cultivator to give birth to a prince for me, and there is a high probability that you have spiritual roots."

"So, I plan to name our child 'Zheng Chengqian', meaning to create the world and take this as the starting point."

"Qian means strong."

Zheng Yi said: "I hope that our child can be strong and healthy, inherit spiritual roots, and can also embark on the path of cultivation and become a cultivator."

Cui Xiabing's expression changed slightly, and he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this word... I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"Oh, why?"

"Qian, which also means heaven, is often a name given by emperors to their eldest sons, meaning to inherit the orthodoxy and the foundation."

"If you name our child Cheng Qian, it will definitely cause speculation among many ministers, especially the Queen and others..."

"Will this happen?"

Cui Xiabing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you must be on guard."

"Although I love my child, I did not let him compete for the position of Crown Prince. I want to stabilize Dayu. Please, Your Majesty, give our child a name."

What for?

Zheng Yi murmured, how could it lead to such consequences?
Soon he thought of something.

Cheng Qian...

Isn’t this the unfortunate prince of the Tang Dynasty in the previous life?

He also reacted quickly.

The word "Qian" is indeed a bit inappropriate. The queen's son, named Chengji, already has the meaning of inheriting the country.

If Cui Xiabing's son was named Cheng Qian, it would also mean inheriting the world, which would inevitably cause speculation among many people and lead to unrest.

Although he did not have any speculation in that regard, he could not resist the random guesses of his subordinates.

In that case, we can only change the word.

Or……

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "My beloved, do you think this will work?"

"We still use the sound of Qian, but we don't use the Qian in Qiankun."

"Oh?"

Concubine Cui asked curiously, "What word does Your Majesty plan to use?"

"How about the subtitles?"

"Qian? Zheng Chengqian?"

"good."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "The hidden one is like a dragon in the abyss!"

"This child is the first child of you and me, and there is a high probability that he has spiritual roots and will have a bright future."

"It means a dragon hidden in the abyss will rise to the sky. How do you think?"

This time, Concubine Cui finally smiled and said admiringly: "I obey your order. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

"Oh, my dear, I have something to ask of you."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter."

"Do you remember that the Shadow Guards discovered several spiritual herbs a few months ago?"

"I remember this incident. Your Majesty even sent people to guard it. Could it be that something happened to these spiritual herbs?"

"Yes, the Ghost Spirit Grass was discovered by a monk and was stolen."

Zheng Yi explained: "But fortunately, Chen Li and others fought with their lives and finally captured the monk and protected the Ghost Spirit Grass."

"But Chen Li was also seriously injured. The spiritual energy of that cultivator is causing trouble in his body. I have no way to help him."

"Didn't I hear from my beloved concubine that your master left some medicinal pills for you? I want to get some healing pills for Chen Li."

"Exotic mana?"

Concubine Cui said: "The power of cultivators is the most bizarre. It contains the life breath and will of the cultivators. If it penetrates into the body of a mortal, it will inevitably destroy the mortal's life."

"Fortunately, Chen Li is a Xiantian realm expert, so he can use his true qi to temporarily suppress it, but it won't last long."

"Your Majesty, please let him in. I will treat his wounds right away."

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I knew that my beloved concubine is not a stingy person."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Chen Li is loyal to you, so how could I refuse?"

"Hahaha, thank you very much, my beloved."

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Chen Li!"

Soon, the door to the bedroom was pushed open, and a figure walked in cautiously.

He bowed his head and walked over quickly without looking around. He knelt down and said, "Your servant Chen Li, thank you for your majesty and your majesty's kindness!"

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Chen Li, come closer."

This time it was Concubine Cui's voice. Chen Li's heart moved and he hurried forward, not daring to look down. He only saw a pair of red-bottomed gold-threaded mandarin duck embroidered shoes neatly placed under the couch.

"Look up~"

Looking up, Chen Li saw a lazy beauty lying on the couch, observing him carefully.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, not daring to look directly.

But the gentle voice of the imperial concubine came to my ears.

"Don't worry, you were indeed injured by the flames transformed from spiritual energy, but luckily you were not in contact with the flames for too long, so it was only your skin that was injured."

"There is also a trace of alien magic power in your body. Fortunately, you are an innate warrior, and your body is full of true energy, which can suppress the alien magic power."

Concubine Cui continued, "I have here the first-grade elixir given by my master, the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Pill', which is best at expelling alien magic power and nourishing flesh and blood."

"After you take it, you can circulate your mind to force out all the alien magic power in your body."

"Thank you, my lady!"

Chen Li held up both hands, and a warm pill fell into his hands.

Feeling the warmth in his hands, Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Okay, Chen Li, you go down first and keep an eye on that monk."

Zheng Yi's voice sounded at the right time: "I will go there after I finish other things."

"promise!"

Chen Li retreated respectfully, and Cui Xiabing suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Chen Li stood still, and Zheng Yi asked curiously, "My beloved concubine?"

"I suddenly sensed that there is something slightly different about the alien magic power in Eunuch Chen Li's body."

Concubine Cui said hesitantly, "Come here first."

Chen Li returned again and knelt on the ground: "My Lady Concubine?"

"Don't talk yet, hold your breath and concentrate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Xiabing's right index finger and middle finger formed a sword shape and pointed firmly at Chen Li's brow.

The next moment, a slightly cold breath appeared from between Chen Li's eyebrows and flowed throughout his body.

Chen Li knew in his heart that the imperial concubine was testing the strange magical power in his body, so he held his breath and dared not move, allowing the magical power to flow through his body.

Soon, this breath concentrated in his abdomen, which was the place where the alien magic power was raging.

This trace of magic power was suppressed by his own strong true energy, but it always existed and could not be completely eliminated.

Oddly enough, after Concubine Cui's magic power came close to this strand of alien magic power, the two actually slowly merged together.

Under the guidance of Concubine Cui's magic power, this trace of alien magic power was actually slowly drawn out!

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Concubine Cui's strange look, as well as the horror and information in her eyes.

"Chen Li, the alien magic power in your body has been absorbed by me. You should go down and recuperate."

"Thank you, Madam Concubine!"

Chen Li said respectfully: "Then this Spring Breeze and Rain Pill..."

"This is also a reward for you. After taking it, it will clear all the hidden injuries in your body and allow you to serve His Majesty well."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Chen Li retreated, and Zheng Yi asked curiously, "My beloved, what's wrong?"

Concubine Cui hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Your Majesty, the person who stole your Ghost Spirit Grass should be my master...Xuan Jizi!"
