Lu Yan looked at the woman who was staring at him with sparkling eyes, and wanted to say that he liked her.

But people like him, after opening their mouths, couldn't continue speaking.

How could he say such a thing? It's beneath his dignity.

Unexpectedly, the other party refused to give in.

Force him to say it.

"Eunuch Lu, if you don't want to tell me whether you like it or not, then please promise me one more thing."

Well, if I make her unhappy, I will become her father-in-law.

Qinglu's eyes were as big as copper bells behind him, which means that in the early years, some people still called Lu Yan "Eunuch Lu".

Now most people just call her Lord Lu. The Queen is really a wonderful person.

I was really an eyesore standing in the room, so I tried to reduce the space I took up.

"What is it?"

Lu Yan was not angry either. He just thought that she was just a little girl who was angry. It was normal for pregnant women to have a bad temper when they were pregnant.

"After the first snow falls, I want to go to the Gusu Temple outside the city to appreciate the plum blossoms."

Lu Yan frowned when he heard this. He didn't want to get angry with Xu Zhiyi, so he called Qinglu

With a sullen face and a cold voice, he said:

"When was the Queen's swing built?"

When Qinglu heard this, her heart skipped a beat:

"Replying to Lord Lu, it was built last night."

Qinglu was the one Lu Yan found yesterday at noon. It hadn't been built yet. When I saw it in the evening, I thought I would just mention it when I gave the report the next day. But I didn't expect that he would be discovered when he came today.

"Do you know that your queen is already pregnant? How can you still play with this kind of thing? If anything happens to your queen, the entire Suiyuxuan will be hers..."

Those two words were unlucky and he didn't want to say them out loud.

Pause:

"Now go out and have the swing taken down."

Qinglu hurriedly retreated, thankful that the queen was pregnant now, otherwise she would have been punished by her master long ago.

Xu Zhiyi was watching from the side, stunned. What was going on? Why was the swing he had just built yesterday being demolished?

Seeing Xu Zhiyi's angry look, Lu Yan lowered his head and comforted her:

"Your belly is big now. What if something goes wrong if you're not careful?"

She knew that her body was still very stable, but she couldn't say it.

Then he said:

"Even if you're careful when you're on the swing, if it's been tampered with, you won't be able to defend yourself."

Although everyone in the palace is his, he still cannot accept any accidents.

Xu Zhiyi has a small face:

"Then I'll go outside the city to appreciate the plum blossoms. Do you agree?"

Lu Yan wanted to say no, but he felt that rejecting her too many times today would make her unhappy.

"If the emperor agrees, then I will agree. I will protect you then."

In his heart, the emperor would not agree, so why would he be the bad guy?

It was getting late, and even though he had a responsibility to protect her, he couldn't stay here for too long during the day.

Looking at Xu Zhiyi's eyes, which were filled with the grievance she had just felt, there was a hint of red in the corners of her eyes, which made her entire face look whiter and her facial features more delicate. It seemed that the pregnancy had not affected her at all.

Instead, it added a touch of feminine charm, and he smelled that subtle fragrance again.

It seemed as if it had been lingering in his nose since that night, its fragrance changing in intensity with the rise and fall of the voice.

Thinking of this somewhere, the pain started again.

He leaned down and gently kissed the corner of Xu Zhiyi's eye.

After leaving Shuiyuxuan and walking to his residence, he summoned the phantom.

"Check the plum garden at Gusu Temple."

Why does Phantom sound so familiar?

"Gu Jingyan used to go there every year a few years ago."

Lu Yan raised his eyes and looked at him. Although he didn't say anything, Huanying felt as if he had been whipped.

"Have I been too good-tempered recently? I asked you to investigate Gu Jingyan but you didn't tell me."

He stroked the water glass with his fingertips.

The phantom immediately knelt down:

"I dare not. I will accept the punishment myself. However, Gu Jingyan did not go to see Concubine Xu after appreciating the plum blossoms, so I did not report it."

"Forget about accepting the punishment. I want to see the success of the thing I asked you to do last time before the first snow. Gu Jingyan likes to be responsible, so find a beautiful girl from the brothel and follow her. The more the better.

Before the first snow falls, if you can't accomplish this, just end it yourself."

Just as Phantom was about to take his leave, he heard his master calling him.

"Call him Madam from now on."

The phantom froze.

He knew that his master never touched women. He had had a vague guess since he started investigating those two people, but he didn't expect that his master actually liked this kind of thing.

But when I think of Xu Zhiyi's stunning beauty, I feel that no identity is important anymore.

"Why do you have any objections? I think you're itching for trouble."

"I dare not. Wait until I complete the task and then accept the punishment. I will take my leave."

You can’t mess with men and women who are in love. If you stay still for just a second, you’ll be discovered.

Leave immediately.

Now the Emperor arrived at the Empress Dowager's residence:

I saw the empress dowager lying on the bed, with a maid next to her massaging her head.

The emperor didn't expect that the empress dowager was really sick. He thought that he hadn't been there for too long and made the empress dowager angry.

"Mother, has the imperial physician examined it?"

"I've seen it, and it's the same old problem: migraines. They come when I get angry."

"Who dares to anger my mother? I will handle it for her."

It turns out that she came here to complain today. It's amazing. My mother usually has more tricks than me, but she still needs to come to me.

He still felt that he was usually cold to his mother, but he couldn't blame her, because it was her own request to go into seclusion and worship Buddha.

The empress dowager opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at the emperor.
