The emperor's dragon power was so furious that the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the dragons were frightened and leaderless.

At this moment, Xuan Ling was like an angry lion, and Sheng Xiyan was like a little rabbit, begging at the top of their lungs but to no avail.

Full in the arms.

This man is so evil. He has already forced the woman into a situation where she has no choice, but he is still a gentleman, asking questions in a wicked yet gentle manner.

"Yanyan, is it okay?"

Sheng Xiyan rubbed her wrist which had turned red from being gripped by him.

"You said no, the Emperor approves it?"

Xuan Ling's thin lips were raised in mockery, his eyes were red, and he gnashed his teeth.

"Of course you are not allowed to play it."

A sudden and violent operation.

Sheng Xiyan's branches are flying around,

“Wuwuwuwu, if you are not allowed to play, why are you asking me?...You are bullying me...嘤嘤嘤..."

After a long time, Xuan Ling caressed the crying girl in his arms.

"Yanyan, I'm not a saint. Remember that? Hmm?"

Sheng Xiyan covered her face and sobbed in a muffled voice:

"What did I do wrong? Before the emperor kills someone, won't you give me an explanation?"

Xuan Ling blew lovingly on the deep red and green marks on the snow-white jade skin.

What? Tell her that you dared to call Qi Yan's name in your dream. This was undoubtedly another reminder of Qi Yan's existence.

It’s better not to say it.

“It hurts… oooo…”

"I'll blow on it, and it won't hurt anymore."

Then I took it behind the screen and washed it.

Sheng Xiyan leaned on his shoulder, crying, wondering if he had said something in his sleep last night that he shouldn't have.

It must be, otherwise why would this dragon be so abnormal?

Xuan Ling wiped her dry and stuffed her back into the quilt.

"Your Majesty, I have to go pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I won't sleep any more."

According to palace rules, a newly appointed concubine had to go to the Cining Palace the next day to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and receive instructions.

"I won't go. I will send someone to tell my mother."

"No, we have to go, otherwise the Empress Dowager will be unhappy. This time the Emperor suddenly appointed me as a concubine, and many people are already dissatisfied."

Xuan Ling glanced at her coldly with his dark eyes and said comfortingly:

"Don't think too much. I canonize you, so you are worthy."

Sheng Xiyan hugged his neck and said sweetly:

"Then Your Majesty, please don't be angry anymore. No matter what Xiyan did wrong, she will correct it, okay?..."

Xuan Ling held her in his arms, kissed the top of her head, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Finally, the dragon was coaxed into submission.

An hour later, in the Cining Palace.

Sheng Xiyan knelt and listened to the head nanny recite the palace rules.

The Queen Mother glanced at her coldly.

"It's incredible. A young widow has already risen to the position of concubine within a year of entering the palace. Your promotion is faster than bamboo shoots after rain. I am truly impressed."

Sheng Xiyan smiled and said humbly, "I am stupid and rely mainly on the care of the emperor and the queen mother."

Whatever the old man said, she just agreed to it, and she agreed without hesitation.

Looking forward to the words, "I am tired, please kneel down and say goodbye."

But the Empress Dowager, after having her morning tea, entertaining the kingfisher, and admiring the flowers in the courtyard, still did not say the words "get out".

Sheng Xiyan touched her knees which were numb from kneeling. Did she have to kneel for a whole day?

A palace maid came to report,

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor sent a gift to you."

The Empress Dowager sat back gracefully on the Fengluan couch.

Eunuch Fu and the palace maids brought in a dazzling coral bonsai.

Smiling and respectful, he said:

"Your servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager. The Emperor has sent you a newly-delivered tribute of red coral gemstone bonsai, symbolizing longevity and good fortune. Please enjoy it, Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "She is indeed of good appearance."

He waved his hand and asked the palace maid to sit in the most conspicuous position in the hall.

"Princess Chen, please get up. The Emperor sent me a gift to ask me to take care of you. How could I not?"

Hua Xia helped Sheng Xiyan up, her legs were painful and numb.

"Empress Chen, Concubine Jia is in solitary confinement and can't go out. It's really pitiful. I can't bear it."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. I will definitely plead with the Emperor to have Sister Jiafei released from confinement as soon as possible."

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, "Kneel down and pay your respects."

"I'll take my leave."

"I'll take my leave."

Sheng Xiyan and Eunuch Fu walked out of the Cining Palace.

"Eunuch Fu, it's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise I would have to kneel until it was too dark."

Eunuch Fu said respectfully:

"Your Highness, it's the Emperor who's been thinking about you. He treats you like he's holding you in his mouth for fear of you melting, and holding you in his hands for fear of you breaking. I've never seen the Emperor treat anyone this way before. Your Highness is so blessed."

Sheng Xiyan smiled sweetly, Xuanlang naturally treated me very well.

For two consecutive days, in Jinzhou Inn.

Qi Yan was either asleep or in a daze with his eyes open, like a pool of stagnant water, devoid of all vitality.

Tiewa advised: "Uncle, you haven't had a drop of water for two days, drink some porridge quickly."

Qi Yan turned over and lay on his side, tears rolling out from the corners of his eyes.

A Yan, it’s my fault that I made you lose your support.

You must have had a hard time giving birth to the child, which is why you chose to enter the palace.

A heart full of expectations has turned into a heart full of disappointment.

My mind was full of questions: what should I do? How can I get Ah Yan back?

We have been study companions since childhood, spending every day together.

How could he not understand Emperor Xuanwu's character?

Autocratic, a natural imperial trait.

Another day of silence passed, and after noon, Qi Yan got up from the bed.

"Uncle, are you okay? I'll ask the waiter to bring up some food."

"Let's set off now and arrive at the gate of the capital in two hours."
