Although her deception annoyed him, he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, as he didn't have much time left.

As long as she can keep pretending until the day he dies.

However, Xiao Lanchuan coughed up blood less and less, and he himself realized that something was wrong.

He finally summoned Chen Huaizhi to examine his pulse.

After examining the body, Chen Huaizhi was overjoyed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the poison in your body has been cured."

Xiao Lanchuan wasn't too shocked.

He carefully recalled the past, and his memory was fixed on that night.

At that time, he clearly felt that his time was coming to an end, so why...?

Everything seemed to change after that kiss she gave him.

And that night, he tried his best to control himself, so why did he fall asleep so quickly after she kissed him?

How did she manage to do that?

Does she ever tell the truth?

Unaware that her secret had been exposed, Namji was currently watching a play at Jangchu Palace.

She is now nine months pregnant and her body is getting heavier, but she has not developed stretch marks. Apart from her face being a little fatter, there is no swelling in other parts of her body.

She originally had an oval face, but now her cheeks are rounder, and she exudes a maternal glow, looking more and more like an empress who rules the world.

In the past six months or so, since she became empress, there have been many opinions in the harem and the court.

But after Xiao Lanchuan exposed the scandalous affair between the Empress Dowager and Xiao Jingyi, the Empress Dowager and Prince Yu's faction dared not utter a word.

Later, Prime Minister Qin still wanted to cause trouble.

Who would have thought that Qin Jingyi, in order to conceive the emperor's child and become empress, would be so foolish as to have an affair with a guard.

Once this matter was exposed, Qin Jingyi was immediately deposed as a concubine and banished to the Cold Palace. Prime Minister Qin was also demoted to a local prefect and left the capital.

Later, news spread in the palace that Namjil was kind and benevolent, and that she managed the harem very well. The ministers who wanted to depose her fell silent.

Right now, Nanzhi is happily eating grapes, watching the beauties singing and dancing in the center of the stage, her eyes glued to the screen.

If she weren't pregnant, she would have gone to kiss these little beauties in the morning.

A peeled grape was handed to her, but she didn't even look at it before opening her mouth and eating it, her eyes fixed on the dancing beauty.

They were dancing with great enthusiasm when suddenly the beauties stopped, turned around, and left.

Nanzhi tried to call out to them, but her chin was hooked: "Is it pretty?"
