After Ye Zhaobai left completely, Wan Ge opened her eyes, snorted coldly, turned over and went back to sleep, but she slept very peacefully.

…

"Even though my sister is unwell, His Majesty still stays with her every day. My sister is truly favored."

Having just recovered from being excused from paying respects for a few days, Wan Ge heard this remark.

Wan Ge silently added in her heart: Would you like this kind of blessing?

The woman speaking was the emperor's concubine, who openly and honestly opposed the original owner of this body. Such a person was alright; there was no need to be so deliberately wary of her. Her thoughts and actions were all laid bare.

Apart from her, everyone else was polite on the surface, but who knows what kind of dirty tricks they were thinking.

Wan Ge sighed softly, picked up the tea beside her and took a small sip: "His Majesty has gotten used to coming to my palace. In the days to come, it will indeed be inconvenient for me to take care of His Majesty. I will wait for good news from my sisters."

The Queen's pregnancy meant that others had a much greater chance of getting pregnant, and many people were indeed looking forward to the days to come.

Just then, Consort Yun took out a sachet: "Sister, this sachet has a calming effect. It is said that pregnant women often have trouble sleeping, so I thought I would give this sachet to you."

When Wan Ge took it, she could smell the musk inside. Even though the musk would be masked for others, she could still smell it.

Consort Yun was relatively simple-minded, which meant she was much easier to deceive. In the harem, many people used her as a tool.

Presumably, it's the same now. If I am really pregnant, the child will be miscarried soon, and Yunfei will definitely not be able to escape the investigation.

"Then thank you for your kindness, Sister Yunfei." Wan Ge accepted the sachet directly.

Besides her, many other people also gave gifts, and Wan Ge accepted them all.

…

In the evening, Wan Ge was having dinner alone when she suddenly sensed a familiar presence, so she asked Xiao Su to stand guard outside.

Only then did he speak, asking someone to come out.

Shu Qingmu was standing in front of Wan Ge, who wasn't very surprised: "Brother Qingmu, what brings you here? Is there good news?"

Shu Qingmu smiled and said, "Does that mean I can't come if I don't have one?"

"Of course not." I'd be happy to see him whether or not there's Wan Ge.

Shu Qingmu spoke again: "Indeed, there is good news. Although the person you are looking for has not been caught yet, some of the evidence you had others look for has been found."

"That's wonderful." Just as Wan Ge finished speaking, the two of them suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

Xiao Su's voice rang out from outside the door: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Shu Qingmu disappeared in an instant, but Wan Ge knew very well that the other party was hiding nearby. If it weren't for her own mark, she might not have been able to find the other party at all.

Wan Ge opened the door: "Your Majesty has arrived very early today."

The other party was pregnant, and Ye Zhaobai came every day to watch over her until late at night before leaving.

"I will have dinner with you." Ye Zhaobai sat down directly in the chair.

Xiao Su was very thoughtful and immediately prepared an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

Wan Ge didn't say anything, but simply sat down silently.

Wan Ge was already eating, but she could barely eat anymore. After Ye Zhaobai appeared, she lost her appetite even more, so she quickly put down her chopsticks.

"Not having an appetite?" Ye Zhaobai looked at the dishes that had barely been touched.

Wan Ge hummed in agreement.
