After finishing her meal, Yun Qingluo wanted to have a proper chat with Yun's mother and the others.

But my body won't allow it.

Seeing Yun Qingluo's exhaustion, Yunmu told her to get some rest.

After watching her take a nap, he left with Yun Ziheng and Yun Ziyu.

On the carriage at the General's Mansion.

As they were returning, snowflakes began to fall again outside.

Under the nagging of Yun's mother, Yun Ziheng and Yun Ziyu had no choice but to give up riding horses and get into the carriage.

"Don't you guys think that Luo Luo's physique seems to have deteriorated a lot?" Yun Mu suddenly asked.

Yun Ziheng nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Indeed, after returning from the countryside, Luo Luo's health improved day by day, but after returning from the border this time, it seems that her health has deteriorated again."

Yun Ziyu speculated, "Could it be related to childbirth?"

Yunmu paused slightly, looking at Yun Ziyu, "Has something happened to Luoluo at the border?"

Yun Ziyu hurriedly shook her head, "No, how could that be? With the Prince, my elder brother, and me protecting Luo Luo, she's fine."

Mica remained skeptical. "Really?"

Yun Ziyu pulled a long face and pretended to be aggrieved, "Mother, what you're saying is unreasonable."

"If you don't trust me and my elder brother, you should at least trust the Prince. The Prince cherishes Luo Luo like the apple of his eye; how could he let anything happen to her?"

After Yun Ziheng finished speaking, he glanced at his elder brother and quickly spoke up to explain.

"Yes, Mother, it must still be from that accident in the palace. Luo Luo's body hasn't recovered yet, that's why she looks so weak. She'll probably be fine after some time of recuperation."

Mica was slightly relieved.

Yun Ziyu and Yun Ziheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunmu suddenly asked, "Then why did the prince suddenly destroy the Tianlang Kingdom?"

I had wanted to ask him before, but I never had the chance. You all follow the Prince around all day, you should know, right?

Yun Ziheng and Yun Ziyu exchanged a glance, reading the same meaning in each other's eyes: They finally got the answer.

Fortunately, the prince and they had already discussed this matter.

Yun Ziheng said, "At its root, this matter is because the people of Tianlang Kingdom are untrustworthy, they treat us like monkeys, and they go back on their word."

In addition, the prince was eager to accompany Luo Luo back to the capital to give birth, since the midwives and conditions in the capital were better.

But the Tianlang Kingdom's shameless behavior delayed us, and the prince was furious, so he led us to destroy the Tianlang Kingdom.

Yunmu frowned. "The prince doesn't seem like such an impulsive person. Is it really because of this?"

Yun Ziyu exclaimed, “Mother, you know how harsh the border is. The prince wants to give Luoluo a good life, so naturally he doesn’t want her to give birth in such a harsh and cold frontier.”

"It's all the fault of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom for being blind and offending the Prince. They deserved to be destroyed."

Seeing that the two people's expressions didn't seem fake, Yunmu stopped doubting them.

Yun Ziyu swallowed hard.

That was really close.

Fortunately, the prince was wise and gave them advance notice.

Otherwise, if he told the truth, his mother would definitely faint from fright.

Then, he'll inevitably get a beating from his own father.

Yun Qingluo spent several days lying around in the mansion, essentially living like a corpse.

Mo Beichen was still extremely busy, but fortunately the ministers were willing to compromise.

Unexpectedly, Mo Beichen went even further, scheduling the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the empress's coronation on the same day.

However, the imperial edict had already declared that Mo Beichen's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion.

If they don't agree and Mo Beichen goes back on his word, then it will be their fault.

The ministers had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

In any case, they couldn't see anything good about Yun Qingluo.

Mo Beichen told her that the coronation ceremony would be at the end of the month.

Yun Qingluo was somewhat surprised, "Aren't those ministers eager for you to ascend the throne tomorrow? Why are they willing to wait so long?"

Actually, it wasn't long, only about ten days.

However, judging from the actions of those ministers, if their power hadn't prevented it, they probably would have already put Mo Beichen on the throne.

Mo Beichen was drying Yun Qingluo's hair.

"The transition between the old and the new is just right, so we can officially make you empress sooner."

Originally, an empress could only be appointed in the second year after a new emperor ascended the throne. Mo Beichen originally wanted to complete both the ascension to the throne and the appointment of the empress on the same day.

However, the ministers refused to comply, and finally each side compromised. He ascended the throne at the end of the month, and the investiture ceremony was held the following year.

Yun Qingluo chuckled, "I'm not in such a rush to..."

Mo Beichen: "It was my fault for being anxious."

That position is too lonely; I don't want to do it for even a day.

I've had enough of that when I was regent.

Now that I have you, I don't want to experience the loneliness of being at the top at all.

Yun Qingluo looked up at Mo Beichen, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, "Achen, don't be afraid, I'll always be behind you."

Mo Beichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he looked at how well his wife understood him.

"Luo Luo..." Mo Beichen looked at those eyes that were looking at him earnestly, silently expressing their affection, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

Yun Qingluo originally wanted to push him away, but then she remembered that the two of them had not shared a room since she returned to the capital.

She felt she was recovering well during this time, but Mo Beichen still didn't dare to touch her.

No matter how busy he is every day, he never forgets to come back and make sure she takes her medicine.

This is the closest they've been to each other in the past six months.

Yun Qingluo felt a stinging pain on her lips, and when she came to her senses, she saw the person in front of her with accusatory eyes.

It seemed like they were blaming her for not paying attention.

Yun Qingluo smiled, hooked her arm around the neck of the person in front of her, and led him to the bed.

A flicker of panic flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes, and he quickly braced himself with both hands on either side of Yun Qingluo.

"Nonsense, what if you accidentally press the ring?"

Yun Qingluo curled her lips and spoke bluntly, "Ah Chen, it's not like we haven't... suppressed it before."

Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, Mo Beichen's ears flushed pink, and a wicked fire ignited in his eyes.

"Luo Luo, is it alright?" Mo Beichen asked, his voice tinged with a hint of restraint, as he smelled the unique, delicate fragrance emanating from the person in his arms.

Yun Qingluo didn't answer, but instead hooked her arms around Mo Beichen's neck and pulled him down, while simultaneously lifting her head to kiss him.

A look of surprise and intense desire flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes, but his self-control vanished the moment Yun Qingluo kissed him.

He could no longer hold back and lowered his body.

"Ah, where did you bite?" Yun Qingluo exclaimed in a low voice.

Mo Beichen raised his head slightly, the desire in his eyes seemingly overwhelming Yun Qingluo.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Luo Luo, so sweet."

Yun Qingluo couldn't help but blush, her shy face making Mo Beichen's lust burn even more fiercely.

"Luo Luo~" Overwhelmed with emotion, Mo Beichen leaned down and whispered softly in Yun Qingluo's ear.

The clouds seemed to be rapidly swirling in the air, or floating on water.

The bright moon outside the window shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light. Amidst the constant moans and gasps, the moon seemed to become shy and hid away, leaving only the pitch-black sky and the white snow on the ground.

The pure white snowflakes gently fell on the rooftops, railings, pavilions, corridors, and gardens, creating a scene that was both serene and beautiful.

The temperature inside the room was rising steadily.

Yun Qingluo fell asleep late into the night, unable to hold back any longer.
