"Come, come, come, no matter for what reason, the fact that we have the fate to sit down and chat about our hearts today is destiny itself."

"Gongsun senior, after being trapped here for so many years, you've really been wronged. Without a taste of fine wine and meat, today, let us eat from noon till night, not returning until we're drunk!"

After saying that, Lin Yi brought over 108 sumptuous dishes.

"How, how could there be so many dishes? Did you hire dozens of chefs?"

Gongsun Mo's eyes bulged, he had never seen so many dishes in his life. The lavishness was such that even the late Emperor couldn't match it.

Regarding the matter of the system, Lin Yi would certainly not tell anyone.

So, he ambiguously said, "All these were prepared in advance, let's eat them while they're still hot."

Thus, Lin Yi and Gongsun Mo clinked cups, one after the other, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Meanwhile, the old eunuch waited all afternoon outside, and saw no movement at all inside Qiankun Palace.

Having no other choice, the old eunuch had to order the cancellation of all the night's actions.

They had to wait for news from inside Qiankun Palace before taking the next step.

It wasn't until evening, when both Gongsun Mo and Lin Yi were drunk, that Judge Zhong hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and casually ate some food to fill his stomach.

Night had fallen, and the little Emperor received no news from Lin Yi, and neither did Ying Yi from the floor surface. This feeling of being cut off from the world made the little Emperor quite anxious.

The days without anyone accompanying him, except for Keke, were very lonely.

"Eh, could that scoundrel be in danger? Or has he forgotten about me, causing me to miss him so much."

The little Emperor idly stared at the ceiling, bored. In the underground chamber, besides eating and sleeping, and Keke, there was nothing else.

Suddenly, he dearly missed the days of attending court sessions, correcting petitions, and handling state affairs.

The little Emperor had always fantasized about doing nothing, staying away from politics, and being an ordinary woman who would take good care of herself when pregnant.

But it turned out that he was not fit to be an ordinary woman.

Touching the Prince in his womb, the little Emperor felt not so alone.

"My Prince, do you miss your father? I'm missing him now. Humph, he's returned late today; if he continues to treat me like this, when you grow up, can you teach your father a lesson for me?"

"Now, I'm getting fatter and fatter. I wonder how big you've grown inside me. Do your eyes look like mine?"

...

Perhaps only when talking to the unborn Prince did the little Emperor feel not so lonely.

But suddenly, for some reason, a soft movement came from the little Emperor's belly, a gulp that traveled from the left side to the right.

"My Prince, what's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly move?"

The little Emperor was very excited. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen again and felt the rolling movement of the little Prince inside.

"He moved, he really moved." The little Emperor cried with joy; four months into her pregnancy, she finally felt the presence of the little Prince's strength.

At that moment, she so wanted to share this good news with Lin Yi, the joy of becoming a parent.

"No, my good Prince, I will tell your father this good news right now."

In her excitement, the little Emperor found the intercom, and at the moment of pressing the button, she hesitated.

"No, I must not act rashly. What if my feeling is wrong?"

To verify the correctness of her feelings, the little Emperor went to another underground chamber and knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was Your Majesty who came alone, the Imperial Physician got the shock of his life and hurriedly invited Your Majesty into his humble secret room.

"Your Majesty, be careful, allow this old servant to lead the way for you."

The Imperial Physician almost bowed halfway, taking extreme care in his demeanor.

"There's no need for such formality, I am here today for you to take my pulse."

Having said that, the young Emperor placed his hand on the table for the senior Imperial Physician to take his pulse.

After the senior Imperial Physician took his pulse, the originally terrified and solemn expression on his face suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty, your health flourishes like a dragon, and the Prince inside your womb is very active."

"Just now, Your Majesty might have been overly excited, which caused a bit of rapid heartbeating, but it doesn't affect the Prince."

The young Emperor nodded in satisfaction, having indeed been overly excited a moment ago.

Afterward, the young Emperor described the movements he felt inside his womb again, and upon hearing it, the senior Imperial Physician directly knelt on the ground with both fists clasped.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is the normal fetal movement of the little Prince, indicating that the little Prince is developing well in your womb."

"In the days to come, the fetal movement will become more and more apparent. Your Majesty need not be overly excited; staying calm will aid in the development of the little Prince."

"Very good, come, help me outside."

After receiving the affirmative answer from the senior Imperial Physician, the young Emperor could hardly wait to go out and share the good news with Lin Yi.

Back in his underground chamber, the young Emperor pressed the intercom eager to call for Lin Yi.

Inside Qiankun Palace, Lin Yi felt his waist-held intercom device vibrating in a dazed state. He rubbed his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window had completely darkened.

"Damn, it's already night."

Lin Yi jumped up from the ground, filled with anxiety and regret.

'Ah, this Moutai is to blame, ah, my little Emperor must be worried sick.'

'No, I must go back immediately, I promised them I'd be back soon, look what I've done.'

With his mind wholly fixed on the young Emperor, Lin Yi entirely forgot that the intercom at his waist was still vibrating.

Just as he was about to rush towards the gate of Qiankun Palace, Gongsun Mo suddenly stopped him.

"Halt! You're not allowed to leave!"

Now completely sober, Lin Yi wouldn't tolerate Gongsun Mo's behavior. He angrily picked up his Laser Cutting Gun, saying,

"Senior Gongsun, let's set things straight: when we're drinking, we're drinking buddies, but when sober, I am a subject of Her Majesty, and it's my duty to protect Her Majesty."

"If you dare to stop me, my gun doesn't see who it's shooting."

Lin Yi's anger flared instantly. When it came to the safety of the young Emperor, he could never stay calm.

"Heh."

With a cold laugh, Gongsun Mo said, "Rest assured, that Emperor brat is very comfortable right now. My junior hasn't troubled him at all."

"How can you be so sure?" Lin Yi was skeptical and immediately took out a small surveillance screen from his pocket.

But, at that moment, he finally noticed the vibrating intercom.

It was the young Emperor calling!

Lin Yi hastily grabbed the intercom, saying excitedly,

"Elder ... Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Judge Zhong is also here."

In his overexcitement, Lin Yi almost misspoke, but afraid of causing a misunderstanding with the young Emperor, he brought up Judge Zhong to cover it up.

In reality, Judge Zhong was buried in work in the Political Discussion Room, over thirty meters away from Lin Yi.

Even in normal conversation, Judge Zhong might not have been able to hear.

Over the intercom, the young Emperor, finally hearing Lin Yi's voice, instantly felt relieved.

"Hmph, you scoundrel, it's dark and you still don't know to come back to see Us, do you want Us and the child to starve to death?"
