"I don't know why the Imperial Concubine suddenly became sad. Perhaps it's because she's sentimental during pregnancy."

Xuan Ling walked over and saw a broken heart-knot jade pendant tied with a red rope on the ground. A scene instantly appeared in his mind.

At one place, he held two love knots in his hands and asked, "Yan Yan, do you like it?"

She smiled sweetly: "I like it."

"Then you and I will each take one."

Sheng Xiyan observed that Xuan Ling was in a daze, and his expression seemed to be lost in memories, which was a good thing.

Xue Qiong saw this and quickly interrupted, "Your Majesty, this subject did not mean to do that. It's just that the Imperial Concubine is being unreasonable and angry."

Xuan Ling came back to his senses and glanced at Sheng Xiyan, "My Lady, this is just a small thing. Don't be sad. Don't upset the baby."

Sheng Xiyan bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes as she said sadly, "This is the first time Your Majesty has taken me outside the palace. This is the pre-wedding token you personally selected in the Golden Tower."

She wiped her tears with her silk handkerchief again: "The princess snatched it without a word and stepped on it... I also know that the emperor loves the princess the most now. Without Yanyan in his heart, this jade pendant... It's better to break it completely."

After saying this, she suppressed a sob, which sounded both strong and pitiful, making Xuan Ling's heart ache.

He vaguely recalled her blushing face when he gave her the jade, and he also said: "I give you the jade pendant of a shared heart, and I will be together with you."

The true emotions suppressed by the love poison began to struggle.

Xuan Ling's fingers trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out to wipe Sheng Xiyan's tears, his eyes deep and warm.

Sheng Xiyan took his hand and placed it on her cheek, saying sensibly, "Your Majesty, the knot of love is broken, it's okay."

Xuan Ling held her around the waist and stroked her hair. He could feel that something was missing.

A strong thought was that he couldn't bear to see the woman in front of him crying.

Xue Qiong watched the love Gu being suppressed and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

Xuan Ling had already taken Sheng Xiyan's hand, "My Lady, I will accompany you to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Sheng Xiyan stood up and was led out of the door by the emperor's hand. She turned around and looked at Xue Qiong with a provocative smile.

Dirty thing, have you seen what true love is? Do you deserve it?

You are too young to fight with me.

She turned her head and leaned weakly on Xuan Ling's arm, looking frail and pitiful.

Xuan Ling saw the tears on her long eyelashes and felt sorry for her. He was moved that she regarded the heart-shaped jade pendant he gave her as a treasure.

He stretched out his long arms and held her tightly, carefully following her pregnant steps.

Xueqiong clenched her hands and bit her lips, but she was helpless.

The concubines all said respectfully in unison: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Only after seeing Emperor Xuanwu leading the imperial concubine out of the palace did they dare to speak in a low voice.

"It seems that the Emperor still loves the Imperial Concubine more."

"That's right, the imperial concubine has been favored for several years and is pregnant with three dragon fetuses!"

Xueqiong felt that every word was spoken to her, and the indignation in her heart had reached a point where she could not vent it.

Empress Duan saw this and couldn't suppress the calculation on her lips. She said gently, "Princess, tomorrow is your enthronement ceremony. You should always look at the long term. Go and try on the auspicious dress you will wear tomorrow."

"I'll take my leave." Xue Qiong left Jingren Palace reluctantly.

Looking from a distance, I saw a tall and slender man in a dragon robe leading a woman in a white fox cloak. The woman snuggled up to the emperor, and there was not even a gap between the two of them.

My dear concubine, you and I cannot coexist!

There was a cruel look in her eyes.
