The Imperial Guard Is Carrying His Majesty’s Child

Three years into the reign of the new emperor, Xiao Jingyu, Shen Qian had served as his secret guard for all three. He was deeply trusted. Everyone in the Imperial Guard Bureau said, "Our chief secret guard is the person His Majesty trusts most. No one under heaven can compare." Then one day, Shen Qian drank too much. Xiao Jingyu still ordered him to take his shift, and he dizzily fell from the rafters, then dizzily climbed onto the imperial bed. When he woke, there wasn't a single unbruised spot on Shen Qian's body. Purple marks covered him from head to toe. He hurriedly leapt back up to the rafters and stared at the sleeping figure on the imperial bed. Shen Qian knew that His Majesty sometimes forgot things after drinking, and often had him help keep track of them. He could only hope His Majesty would forget what happened last night. After Xiao Jingyu woke, he asked, just as expected, "Did anything happen after I got drunk last night?" Shen Qian lied through his teeth: "Everything was as usual. Nothing happened." Xiao Jingyu gave him a long look but did not press further. Shen Qian relaxed and continued serving as chief secret guard, only... Xiao Jingyu seemed to be acting more and more strangely toward him. And for some inexplicable reason, Shen Qian kept waking up on the imperial bed again and again. Until eventually, his body grew so heavy he could no longer fly up to the rafters. He looked down. Why was his stomach getting bigger and bigger? . Xiao Jingyu ascended the throne at seventeen. His harem remained empty, without a single consort. Everyone said the emperor was a diligent ruler who cared for his people and was unmoved by women. That was until one night, his secret guard climbed into his bed and clung to him with both arms and legs. Shen Qian had long legs, a slender waist, soft hands, and fair skin. Shen Qian... had a sweet tongue. Shen Qian was a secret guard who was always quiet and never spoke. Yet Xiao Jingyu discovered that his lips were soft and sweet, and found himself falling for them before he knew it, unable to pull away. Later, Shen Qian cried because he couldn't get back up to the rafters, so Xiao Jingyu coaxed him onto the imperial bed. Only... that slender waist, narrow enough to fit in one hand, seemed to have grown much plumper. Xiao Jingyu gently stroked his belly, lost in thought. The next day, he summoned the imperial physician. The imperial physician looked grave. Shen Qian started crying, thinking he had a serious illness and was going to die. But the physician said, "Your Majesty! Lord Shen... Lord Shen is pregnant!" Shen Qian: ??? Xiao Jingyu: !!! . Message: They were destined for each other
