After Transmigrating into a Fantasy World, I Accidentally Made the Empress a Mother - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: First, Let Me Feel the Baby’s Existence!

The system’s activation and the news that the child was his came one after another.

For a moment, Chu Ning truly could not hold himself together.

And that reaction instantly made Ye Qinglian’s heart sink to the bottom. She stared blankly at the man before her.

“You… do not believe this child is yours?”

To be honest, Chu Ning’s mind was also in chaos.

In his previous life, after graduating from university, he had become a worker trapped in the 996 schedule. Every day, he lived like an exhausted beast of burden. Then, after suddenly transmigrating, for some unknown reason, he had spent a passionate night with the Empress before him, and now he had even gotten her pregnant.

Damn it, it had already been three months…

“That is not the problem. I believe this child is mine.”

“It is just that after hearing this news, I could not quite come back to my senses for a moment…”

Hearing this, Ye Qinglian’s expression eased slightly.

What had happened that day had also been beyond her control.

Because of her Heavenly Fragrance Body, every year on July 15, when Yin energy was at its heaviest, the influence brought by her constitution would affect her mind. It would also affect the minds of everyone around her, including women.

Every year, she had to enter seclusion for at least half a month.

This year had originally been going smoothly. She had even faintly touched the threshold of the 7th stage Void Sovereign Realm. Once cultivators reached that level, they would undergo earth-shattering changes and be known as saints.

But on the final day, just as she was about to endure through it, a man suddenly appeared.

That was a secret chamber she had personally built. It was the most hidden chamber in the entire Great Qian Empire. Even her closest maid did not know about it. Once someone entered, not even she herself could open it before the time was up. It existed precisely to restrain this constitution.

Yet she still did not know how Chu Ning had appeared there.

Under the suppression of that desire, she could not restrain herself at all. When Chu Ning embraced her, she had responded to him…

After a whole night of ceaseless entanglement, Chu Ning had directly lost consciousness.

Ye Qinglian had originally wanted to kill Chu Ning on the spot and get rid of this wretched man who had taken her first time. However, she suddenly sensed that he was only a mortal.

A secret realm that even saints could not enter, yet a mortal had entered it. Perhaps there was some reason behind it, or perhaps this man had been sent by heaven…

Although Ye Qinglian appeared cold, beautiful, and decisive on the surface, when it came to this matter, she still showed mercy. She had the maid drag him away and care for him for a few days.

Later, she still made up her mind to throw him out of the palace. But she gave him some silver, treating it as though nothing had ever happened.

She was still the Empress of the Great Qian Empire. She still had to work toward her ambition of unifying the world.

But three months later, an unconscious bout of vomiting made Ye Qinglian seem to realize something.

After looking inward, she suddenly discovered movement from a living being inside her belly.

She was stunned. She even thought it was an illusion and could not trust her own cultivation, so she immediately left the palace in secret to have her pulse checked.

Then the physician immediately congratulated her.

Great joy. A pregnancy pulse.

Ye Qinglian felt as if the sky had collapsed…

As the dignified Empress of the Great Qian Empire, she was pregnant before marriage. If this matter spread, it would damage her prestige and make the Luohen Empire, which had long been eyeing the Great Qian Empire, develop other intentions.

However, none of that was the most important thing. The most important thing was finding Chu Ning.

Ye Qinglian’s thoughts were very simple.

She had lost her parents when she was young. She had inherited the throne at an early age. After coming of age, she had seized power and unified the court and the nation. On the surface, she seemed firm and unyielding, but the things she had lacked all those years had been carved into her memory for life.

No matter what kind of person Chu Ning was, at the very least, she could not let the child be born without a father…

After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ye Qinglian’s attitude shifted slightly.

She had thought they would argue for a long time over the matter of the child’s father. Perhaps it would even reach the point where they had to test blood to confirm kinship.

Still somewhat stunned, Ye Qinglian spoke again.

“You believe Us so easily? You do not intend to ask anything else?”

Chu Ning shook his head.

“I do not have any other questions. If it is something I did, I will admit it, and I will take responsibility.”

Ye Qinglian felt faintly satisfied.

“It is naturally best that you trust Us.”

Chu Ning had no choice but to trust her.

Even if the system had not appeared, Chu Ning vaguely remembered that on the day he left the palace, his body had been terribly weak.

That had been a mortal body fighting a cultivator for an unknown number of rounds. In any case, at the time, it had felt like his waist was gone. Chu Ning had lain in bed for a full three months.

Did they really think he did not want to go outside? Back then, he could barely even walk.

If it had not been the Empress before him, who else could it have been?

“Um…”

Chu Ning cautiously stepped forward.

“What is it?”

Hearing that dignified voice, Chu Ning was actually still a little nervous. After all, the oppressive aura of someone who had long stood in a position of power was truly strong.

Besides, Chu Ning still did not have much real feeling toward the Immortal Emperor cultivation the system had given him.

“Can I… feel the child?”

Hearing this, Ye Qinglian looked doubtfully at Chu Ning as he drew closer and closer. Her eyes were filled with confusion, and at the same time, she was also sizing up this man.

Although his clothes barely covered him, and he had very likely been directly captured and brought to the palace, in terms of appearance, he was truly handsome and rarely seen. His physique also seemed quite good.

What kind of person was this man? What power did he belong to? What did any of that have to do with her?

She was already the Empress of the Great Qian Empire. 15 million kilometers of rivers and mountains were all under her control. She was also the greatest cultivator in the Empire and had cultivated for 100 years.

Originally, in this life, she had only intended to unify the world. She had not planned to establish an imperial consort. Having one more person meant one more source of trouble, and it might very likely affect her authority.

It was fine if he was a mortal. At worst, she could give him longevity pills to eat. As long as he was pleasing to the eye, looked decent, and treated both her and the child well, that was enough.

As for what she could give Chu Ning, it would be supreme status and power.

As long as Chu Ning did not interfere in politics, disturb authority, or fool around with women, she could accept it.

However, in the next second, Chu Ning suddenly crouched down.

With a curious expression, he pressed his head against Ye Qinglian’s lower abdomen.

Ye Qinglian’s face instantly turned red. Her self-protective instinct flared at once, and she nearly killed Chu Ning on the spot.

Brazen scoundrel. How dared he be so frivolous with her!

If it had been anyone else, she would have slapped them into a smear of flesh.

No!

This was the future father of her child!

In that instant, Ye Qinglian still held herself back.

“You… what are you doing!”

Her tone was ashamed and furious as she glared at Chu Ning before her.

Chu Ning answered honestly, “I am feeling the existence of my baby…”

Damn it. He was going to be a father…

The baby was right there in her belly. In a few more months, he would be able to hold the child.

Chu Ning had never been a father before. He had not even had a girlfriend before this. At this moment, he was so excited he could barely contain himself.

Suddenly, he sensed the existence of the life inside her belly.

Not one. Two?

“They are twins!”

Chu Ning’s face filled with shock. Then he was overjoyed and excitedly hugged her.

“I actually have babies, hahaha!”

Ye Qinglian’s face grew even redder. Being suddenly hugged left her unable to react for a moment. “How bold. We are the Empress of the Great Qian Empire, yet you actually dare to be so frivolous with Us!”

Chu Ning also realized that he had gotten too excited and awkwardly scratched his head.

He had forgotten. Their relationship had not reached that point yet. Hugging her was indeed a little inappropriate…

Ye Qinglian then sat back in her chair with a face full of embarrassment and anger, casting Chu Ning a glance.

“With the current situation inside and outside the Empire, We cannot allow even the slightest problem to happen to Us. Your matter cannot be made public for the time being. The matter of the children is even more impossible to reveal. When the time is right, We will marry you.”

“From now on, you will live inside the palace. Unless summoned, you are not to see Us.”

Hearing this, Chu Ning looked at her in confusion. “I can understand the matter of marriage. After all, you are under great pressure. But why can I not see you? I am already the children’s father, yet I cannot see you? Then after the children are born, what if the two of us are like strangers? Would the children not find that strange?”

At this point, Chu Ning suddenly thought of something.

“I forgot the most important thing.”

“Your Majesty, what is your name…”

Ye Qinglian took a deep breath. She very much wanted to slap herself, then slap Chu Ning as well.

But the truth was just like this. This man, who had taken her first time and was also the father of the children in her belly, truly seemed not to know her name.

“Ye Qinglian.”

She answered in a calm voice.

Chu Ning immediately memorized the name.

Pure even when rising from the mud, clear and graceful without seeming bewitching. What a good name…

It suited the peerless beauty before him so well.

It was hard to imagine that inside this Empress’s belly were already his biological children.

And in the future, she would even be his wife.

“Xiao Bing, take Chu Ning to rest first. Prepare several sets of clothes for him. He may live beside Our Heavenly Tranquility Palace…”
