Li Shengyuan was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't tell her.

Even if the Empress had no children in the future, he did not blame her, but chose to comfort her.

Now, because of the matter of the Prince of Pingxi, the Empress Dowager's attitude towards him is truly exhausting for him.

Was my choice wrong?

The Prince of Pingxi was aggressive and domineering, showing no semblance of the demeanor of a subject.

If anyone is to blame, it's him for bringing this upon himself.

As Li Shengyuan passed by Zhaoyang Pavilion, he saw a woman in red leading a palace maid out of the house and hurrying towards the palace of Consort Ru.

"stop."

"Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"

"Your Majesty!" Feng Qianzhong exclaimed in surprise.

She was in a hurry to see her sister, the Imperial Concubine, and didn't notice the Emperor walking alone on the road.

Even Xu Ninghai wasn't brought along.

Are you going to Empress Ru's palace?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go, put her mind at ease, and tell her not to worry about those treacherous officials all the time."

After saying that, Li Shengyuan looked at her eyes, which were slightly red from crying.

In this palace, there are still such kind and righteous women.

That's quite rare.

"I will send someone to pick you up tonight."

Consort Feng looked up in surprise.

It had been a very long time since the Emperor last summoned her to his bedchamber.

The emperor left without lingering after he finished speaking.

Consort Feng entered the palace where Consort Ru resided, her face a mixture of joy and worry.

He pondered how to begin, how to say the first words to his sister.

"elder sister."

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at Empress Ru's side,

She got out of bed, slapped her hard across the face with her backhand.

"Sister! What, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm hitting you, don't you understand!"

"Why?"

"You should ask your good father, who killed my brother and is now a marquis!"

roll!

Don't ever come before me again. I don't want to see you!

Feng Qianzhong bit her lip, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes, then turned and ran away.

Inside the palace.

The usual desolation and emptiness returned.

It gets dark and then light again, light and then dark again.

A graceful and elegant figure walked in.

It was the Empress; she walked in, arm in arm with Granny Shen.

Bian Lingru did not bow when he saw her.

She didn't mind.

"I heard that Consort Feng has received great favor from the Emperor, who is very pleased with her and has made her a Zhaoyi."

"Princess Ru, how long will you continue down this path of depravity?"

The Queen found a seat, fiddled with her nail guards, and said slowly,

"Now, you should see things clearly."

If you don't stand up and fight for favor now, your glory will vanish completely.

Bian Lingru gave a bitter smile: "I have nothing left."

No, you should also have hatred.

Don't you want to avenge your brother's death with your own hands?

Empress Rouci smiled faintly.

"The moon will soon be full."

She looked out the window.

"It looks good as it is now."

"I don't understand what you're saying," Empress Ru frowned.

Do you know why you haven't been able to get pregnant?

The empress looked at her and told her the truth that the emperor had concealed from her that she could not conceive.

Empress Ru finally realized that she had been played like a fool all these years.

Bian Lingru gave a bitter smile.

I've seen through it all.

"The emperor only cares about his own feelings; he has never cared about the lives of us concubines!"

"It's good that you understand, but I recently came across the historical records and discovered that your period, which is usually very punctual, is a few days late this time."

After the Empress finished speaking...

A light shone in the eyes of the Empress.

"You mean to say that I am pregnant?"

"It's been too short since you last served the Emperor. Let's wait about ten days before having the imperial physician examine your pulse. I came to see you specifically to tell you all this, simply to cheer you up."

"Whether you have children or not, you must continue to live."

"Only by surviving can there be hope."

Empress Rouci appeared kind-hearted. After speaking, she rose and left.

Granny Shen: "Your Highness, why are you behaving so strangely?"

"Wouldn't it be a good thing for us if she lost the will to live? One less enemy, and we can also eliminate any royal heir she might be carrying."

"Do you think I really want her to live a good life?"

Empress Rouci gave a cold smile, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

I was wrong.

I never knew that before.

The method to kill Li Shengyuan was surprisingly simple.

"Only his own flesh and blood can seriously injure him."

When Empress Rouci heard about this method from Tongji, she did not believe it.

However, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.

Only on the night of the full moon can Li Shengyuan be driven to a dead end.

Only then could she possibly find her sister, who had been missing for many years.

"Perhaps, my sister was locked up by him."

"So, the Empress is still thinking about the Crown Prince's wife."

Although Granny Shen didn't understand, she still said, "If the Crown Princess knew how much you care about her, she would be very pleased."

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

Your Majesty the Empress should let go of her obsession as soon as possible and focus on herself.

"You don't understand." Empress Rouci's expression turned cold, unwilling to say anything more to her.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful as he recalled that day.

turn out to be,

Tongji escaped that day, but did not leave the palace immediately.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

He had originally infiltrated the Empress's palace, intending to wait for the right opportunity to find a way out.

But then they saw the Empress return to her palace and take out the handkerchief.

He was rubbing the two twin orchids on top.
