It's just...his acquiescence and indulgence were all based on the premise that it wouldn't cause any problems. Now, it seems to be getting out of control...

"This servant pays respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."

Before the emperor could come back to his senses, Yun Tao came into the room, panting slightly, and it was obvious that she had rushed back in a hurry. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Chunyu is not well yet. Let her rest more."

"I can take her place."

Yun Tao's breathing had not yet calmed down, and she looked at Chun Yu with a smile, showing extreme concern. In fact, during the time she stayed in Changchun Palace, she was quite polite and caring to the other servants.

But at this moment, her expression made the emperor have some other thoughts.

Chunyu just stood there silently, with his head down, neither refuting nor agreeing, as quiet as a quail.

The silence in the house seemed a little strange. It was so quiet that it made Yuntao feel vaguely uneasy.

In response, Lin Chunhuan just lay softly on the emperor's shoulder, without saying a word, and looked at Yun Tao with a smile.

"Chun Yu, are you not fully recovered yet?" Without responding to Yun Tao's words, the emperor looked at Chun Yu. The look in his eyes was dark and unclear, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he had.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I am now well again. Besides, I know the Imperial Concubine's preferences best. I'm afraid I haven't gotten used to it in the past few days."

The smile on Yun Tao's face was already a little ugly. It took her a long while to find her voice again. "How could I not be used to it, your servant..."

"Okay, in that case, Yuntao, go back. Chunyu is taking good care of us here, so we don't need you for the time being."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Yun Tao, who was standing there, suddenly changed his expression. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word. He just stiffened his limbs, saluted and retreated.

"It was because I failed to discipline the people around me that Ah Huan suffered."

Slender fingers slid across her cheek, and Lin Chunhuan suppressed the discomfort in her heart and smiled, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. If I didn't feel that Sister Yuntao was wronged by staying with me, I would never be willing to let her go."

From Yuntao to Yuntao's sister, this change can only be slowly appreciated by those who understand it.

After the emperor left, Lin Chunhuan finally put away the smile that had become somewhat stiff on his face, "Chunyu, you should pay attention to the kitchen during this period of time."

"No matter who sends it, you are not allowed to eat anything from outside."

Chun Yu was a little confused, "Even if the emperor sends it to you, you won't eat it?"

"What he sent can't even enter the kitchen!" The seriousness on Lin Chunhuan's face reminded Chunyu of what Concubine Shu said that day, and her expression changed a little.

He just agreed quickly and didn't ask any more questions.

"Not only food, but also medicine, cloth, and everything you use close to your body must be handled with extreme caution."

Seeing Chunyu nod, Lin Chunhuan lay down at an angle.

She had no idea what to do now. She had no idea how to take precautions, or even whether she should take precautions at all. The complicated thoughts gave her a headache.

Time passed extremely quickly in the palace.

Especially when no one causes any trouble, I spend the whole day sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping. Sometimes I just drift off for a moment, and it seems like the day has passed.

Under Chunyu's careful care, Lin Chunhuan's belly grew bigger day by day, and nothing went wrong from beginning to end.

One can't help but wonder whether what Concubine Shu said at that time had some other meaning, or... she was simply exaggerating!

"Look, my lady, it's moving! It's moving again!"

Chunyu looked at Lin Chunhuan's belly and yelled, with stars in her eyes, "The little prince is really energetic!"

It’s no wonder Chunyu said that. Lin Chunhuan smiled and lowered his head, looking at his stomach which was bulging here and there.

You can tell at first glance that this child is active and lively.

"Even the imperial physician is unsure, how do you know it's the little prince? Maybe it's a fair and innocent little princess."

Chunyu smiled so much that her beautiful eyes curved. "It would be nice if she was a little princess. If she could be as beautiful as you, my lady, I don't know how many young men in Kyoto would be charmed by her in the future!"

"My Lady, Aunt Zhuxi sent something."

Just as the two were talking, a second-rank maid from Changchun Palace came forward with an exquisite food box and heard Zhuxi's name.

Lin Chunhuan lowered his head and looked at Chunyu, who immediately stood up and ran outside.

After a moment, he came back and shook his head, "I didn't see anyone."

"Never mind, bring it here."

When the food box was opened, it was filled with extremely delicate and delicious snacks, shaped like peach blossoms, pink and tender, which made people happy just by looking at them.

But apart from this plate of dessert, there was nothing else.

"Besides this, did Zhuxi give you anything else? Or did he tell you anything?

The little girl shook her head in confusion. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Lin Chunhuan could only shake his head helplessly and send her away.

After returning to the room and closing the door, she opened each of the snacks and took a look, but this time, she still saw nothing.

Could it be that she was wrong?

Aunt Xiang, do you really just want to send her a plate of snacks?

Unable to find anything, Lin Chunhuan couldn't help but come up with this idea.

In the past few months, neither she nor Chunyu has been able to see Nanny Xiang. When they asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they only said that Nanny Xiang had taken Zhuxi out of the palace.

But no one knew where she went or what she did after leaving the palace.

If you want to know, you can only ask the emperor.

But she had no way to ask, so she could only ask Chunyu to find out after a while whether Nanny Xiang could return to the palace. She went there yesterday and got a negative answer.

But today Zhuxi appeared!

So this cake...

Lin Chunhuan did not give up. He picked up the pastry that had been broken into two halves, broke it apart, and crushed it. Finally, when he was kneading the third piece, he found a piece of paper that was not even the size of a fingernail inside!

Found it!

There was a light in his eyes. He opened the note. The words on it were as small as a fly, but Lin Chunhuan still read them word by word in the candlelight.

Folk rumors appear.

Lin's daughter is a dragon.

The Regent asked Kong Shi again.

Enter the palace within three days.

After reading these four sentences, he saw Lin Chunhuan breathing rapidly and without even thinking, he raised his hand and burned the note to ashes.

Although the note is limited in length, the content is not difficult to understand.

During this period, a rumor spread among the people that a woman named Lin would change the dynasty and ascend the throne as an emperor as a woman. This matter caused a big uproar.

The reason why he knew so much detail was because this matter was originally planned by Lin Chunhuan and Kong Shi.
