Substituting for My Brother at Court, the Entire Civil and Military Court Joined Me in Gossiping 7 min read 225 of 260 11

Looking at Shen Sangsang’s devastated expression as if the sky had fallen, Feng Zexuan rubbed her earlobe lazily.

“Isn’t it just an heir?”

Her voice was casual, almost lazy, yet carried the effortless confidence of someone capable of overturning the world itself.

“As long as it’s the child of you two protagonists, does it really matter who gives birth?”

That sentence struck Shen Sangsang like a heavenly thunderbolt, frying her inside and out.

She stiffened and asked cautiously:

【X-Xiao Ling…】

【You mean… let Xiao Zhanfeng, a tall, mighty man… give birth???】

Feng Zexuan lounged lazily on the recliner inside the system space, stretching both arms over her head and crossing them behind her neck.

Every cell in her body radiated the relaxed aura of a top-tier boss who believed nothing in the world was a big deal.

“Why not?”

A faint smile curved her lips.

“I’m telling you, Sangsang—once you’re bound to a cheat system like me, it doesn’t matter whether you’re in some overpowered male-protagonist novel or a Mary Sue romance. Nobody gets to bully you.”

“Our whole philosophy is simple: do whatever we want!”

Shen Sangsang was so moved she nearly burst into tears.

【Xiao Ling! You’re not a system—you’re my sister from another mother!】

【Meeting you must be the blessing of eight lifetimes!】

“Ahem.”

Feng Zexuan cleared her throat and instantly switched to a businesslike tone, though the smile in her eyes remained impossible to hide.

“Well…”

“My system shop does happen to sell items that can make men pregnant. The only issue is the price…”

“It’s just a tiny bit expensive. Might cost you some points.”

【After all, it’s system energy. If things get chaotic later, I can always comfort myself with gossip points.】

Hearing that, Shen Sangsang immediately checked her point balance: 23,000.

Then she suddenly thought of a very important question.

【Xiao Ling, after I complete the mission… can I bring these points back to the modern world?】

she asked carefully.

“Nope. Points are limited to this small world only.”

“Once the mission ends, all you can take home is the one hundred million cash reward.”

【Then…】

Shen Sangsang’s tone instantly turned extravagantly generous, full of nouveau riche swagger.

【Before I go back, you can take all my remaining points!】

Since she couldn’t bring them with her anyway, she might as well do Feng Zexuan a favor.

Feng Zexuan shot upright from the recliner with a whoosh, her eyes sparkling.

“Host!”

“From today onward, you are my god! My dearest, most beloved host!”

【More than twenty thousand points! Converted with a hundredfold multiplier into gossip value…】

【I’m rich! I’m seriously getting filthy rich this time!】

Overwhelmed by joy, Feng Zexuan suddenly looked at Shen Sangsang with warm, almost maternal affection.

With a grand wave of her hand, she declared heroically:

“Forget childbirth!”

“Even if you wanted the stars in the sky today, I’d pluck them down for you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she rapidly browsed through the system shop.

Her fingers swept across countless dazzling items.

Finally, her gaze landed on a talisman glowing with pale golden light:

【Heaven-and-Earth Reversal · Bloodline Inheritance Talisman】

“This is the one!”

Feng Zexuan stroked her chin. Following the excellent principle of “if you’re already doing it, one child or two makes no difference,”

she decisively selected the “twins” option.

Points -5000.

“Host, this talisman is super easy to use.”

“First stick it on your stomach to extract a bit of your bloodline essence. Then within half an hour, stick it onto Xiao Zhanfeng’s stomach.”


Night fell.

The new emperor’s sleeping palace—the Qianqing Palace.

The guards inside and outside the palace were heavily armed, yet the hall itself was so silent it resembled an enormous tomb.

Xiao Zhanfeng sat alone in the vast hall, the imperial meal before him untouched.

He simply sat there.

Not until midnight did he slowly rise, dragging his heavy steps into the bedchamber.

Lying on the dragon bed, he closed his eyes.

A burning tear slid silently from the corner of his eye into his hairline.

【Sangsang… I miss you so much…】

In the darkness, the suppressed, broken sobs echoed painfully through the deathly silent palace.

Hidden in the shadows while controlling Shen Sangsang’s body again, Feng Zexuan listened to the heart-wrenching grief and unexpectedly felt a trace of guilt.

【Sigh. First I “killed off” his wife, and now I’m making him become a widowed husband with a big belly… that really is a little unethical.】

【Forget it. I’ll just consider it giving him two sweet little daughters as emotional support.】

She pulled out a “Sweet Dreams Talisman.” With a flick of her fingers, the talisman turned into a streak of light and silently slipped through the crack of the door.

Dream setting: Sweet everyday life with my wife Sangsang.

Soon, the man on the bed gradually began breathing evenly, and the tight furrow between his brows slowly relaxed.

Only then did Feng Zexuan push open the door and enter.

First, she slapped the golden 【Heaven-and-Earth Reversal · Bloodline Inheritance Talisman】 onto her own flat abdomen.

A warm current instantly swept through her body.

Done.

She walked to the bedside and gazed at Xiao Zhanfeng, who was smiling even in his sleep.

Swiftly, accurately, and mercilessly, she slapped the talisman—now infused with Shen Sangsang’s genetic essence—onto his bare lower abdomen.

The moment it touched his skin, it transformed into brilliant golden light and disappeared into his body.


Inside the dream, Xiao Zhanfeng saw his wedding with Sangsang.

Red candles burned brightly, guests filled the hall, and under everyone’s blessings, they bowed to heaven and earth together.

On their wedding night, her smile shone brighter than the moon itself.

Later, she became pregnant, and the imperial physician announced it was twins.

Every day he carefully supported her, pressing his ear against her belly to listen to the tiny movements inside, so happy it felt as though he possessed the entire world.

But one day, her figure suddenly began turning transparent.

With tears in her eyes, she smiled gently at him and said:

“My husband, I can’t stay with you anymore. But our children… they’ll come find you on their own.”

“Remember… you must treat them well.”

The moment her words fell, her figure dissolved into countless starlike particles and vanished completely.

“Sangsang—!”

Xiao Zhanfeng jolted upright on the dragon bed, chest heaving violently as he stared blankly at the empty bedchamber.

So it had only been another dream.

He raised a hand to his chest, where the pain still made it hard to breathe.

Sangsang… our children…


The next morning, during court.

Inside the Golden Throne Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and majestic.

Wearing his dragon robes, Xiao Zhanfeng sat expressionlessly upon the lofty throne like a decorative mascot.

To him, the ministers’ reports below sounded like meaningless buzzing.

His thoughts remained trapped in last night’s painfully vivid dream.

Then suddenly, a wave of nausea surged violently from his stomach.

He frowned instinctively, assuming he had merely damaged his health from excessive grief.

But the nausea only intensified, impossible to suppress.

“Urgh—!”

Unable to hold it back, he bent over and dry-heaved violently right in front of the entire court.

Instantly, the great hall fell silent.

Every official was utterly dumbfounded, all craning their necks to stare.

Even the Regent Prince—the former emperor—sitting beside him on another dragon throne froze momentarily before knitting his brows tightly.

“His Majesty’s health is unwell. Summon the imperial physicians immediately!”

Several imperial physicians were urgently called into the hall.

The lead physician, Director Zhang, trembling violently, placed three fingers against Xiao Zhanfeng’s wrist and closed his eyes in concentration.

Moments later, his eyes snapped open.

His aged face was filled with shock and confusion, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Refusing to believe it, he switched to the other wrist and examined it carefully again.

The next second, his whole body began trembling uncontrollably.

Another physician, Imperial Physician Li, noticed something was wrong and hurried over to check the pulse as well—only to shudder in shock too.

The Regent Prince could no longer stand it and demanded sternly:

“Well? What illness does His Majesty have exactly?”

With a loud thump, Director Zhang dropped to both knees, his voice shaking uncontrollably.

“R-Reporting to the Regent Prince… th-this pulse… this old servant…”

He stammered for half the day without managing a complete sentence.

Growing impatient, the Regent Prince slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and barked:

“Speak!”

Director Zhang clenched his heart, shut his eyes, and threw caution to the wind.

“His Majesty… His Majesty is not ill…”

Gathering every ounce of strength in his body, he practically screamed:

“IT’S… IT’S A PREGNANCY PULSE!!!”
