Xuan Ling thought for a while, the white cat attacked Sheng Xiyan, it might be Queen Duan who did it, framing Xue Qiong and endangering the dragon fetus.

It is also possible that Xue Qiong used puppet needles on the white cat she picked up, causing Sheng Xiyan to have a miscarriage.

If there is any problem with a seven-month pregnant belly, it means four lives will be lost in one fetus.

Xuan Ling felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.

When Sheng Xiyan saw Xuan Ling's expression, she knew that he was afraid that she would get hurt, so she had to remind him in time not to give up all his efforts, so that Xue Qiong would believe that she had become Xuan Ling's favorite concubine.

She pretended to be presumptuous and said, "Your Majesty, you must handle this matter fairly!"

Xuan Ling came back to his senses, his eyes stern and majestic, saying: "The white cat came out of Jingren Palace. Queen, you have an unshirkable responsibility. From now on, the affairs of the six palaces will be jointly managed by Consort Shu, Consort De, and Consort Liang."

Empress Duan was stunned and said tearfully, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. The cat clearly went to Yupeng Palace. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Xue Qiong said, "Sister Queen, please don't spit blood at me. I picked up the cat. Your Majesty, I didn't know it was a problematic cat."

Xuan Ling personally helped her up, "My beloved, I believe in you."

Turning around, he said, "Noble Concubine, since this is a misunderstanding, why don't you be magnanimous and forgive Concubine Qiong."

Tears streamed down Sheng Xiyan's eyes, and she cried out in grievance, "Your Majesty, you are too biased. Concubine Qiong's cat attacked the crown prince and nearly killed me and the children, and you actually asked me to be more magnanimous? You really have forgotten the old when you have a new one!"

"Shut up, Concubine, how dare you talk back!" Xuan Ling's voice suddenly rose, carrying the majesty of an emperor.

Seeing this, Xueqiong showed a smug smile on her face.

Gao Guiyi and Lin Jieyu shook their heads repeatedly. Gao Guiyi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is clearly Concubine Qiong's fault. You..."

"No need to say more!" Xuan Ling interrupted sharply, "Your Highness is frightened, go back and rest."

As he spoke, he reached out and helped Xue Qiong up, a look of concern on his face.

Sheng Xiyan stood up, tears in her eyes, and looked at Xuan Ling with resentment. With the support of Gao Guiyi and Lin Jieyu, she slowly walked out of the Yangxin Palace.

Empress Duan also left the Yangxin Palace. Standing at the palace gate, she stared at Sheng Xiyan's belly and said, "Noble Concubine, the royal heir is of great importance. You must take care of yourself and don't let a foreign concubine harm you."

Sheng Xiyan sneered, "Sister Queen, as the master of the six palaces, allowed foreign concubines to run rampant. Whose incompetence is this?"

Gao Guiyi and Lin Jieyu helped Sheng Xiyan onto the ceremonial procession and left.

Inside the hall, Xuan Ling frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows.

Xue Qiong leaned on his shoulder and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me."

Xuan Ling forced a warm smile and said, "You are my beloved woman. I naturally trust you. Just stay away from the imperial concubine in the future."

Xue Qiong nodded obediently: "I understand."

A hint of murderous coldness flashed in Xuan Ling's eyes.

Damn woman, you dare to murder Yanyan and the royal heir. I really want to chop you to death right now.

He blamed himself in his heart. In order to get rid of the love poison, he let Sheng Xiyan be bullied by this woman, and he even spoke harshly to her.

Xueqiong left the Yangxin Palace, wiped away her tears, and took the hand of a maid to get on the bridal chariot.

On the way, the maid said, "Princess, the emperor didn't blame you for such a big thing today. It shows that you are the most important concubine in his heart!"

Xue Qiong showed a smug smile. The way Xuan Ling defended her at all costs just now made her feel unprecedented happiness.

Imperial Concubine, you have fallen out of favor. Today it is clear who is the most beloved woman in Emperor Xuanwu's heart, you or me.

At night, in the Yupeng Palace, the candlelight illuminated Xueqiong's face.

She reclined on a chaise longue covered with a Persian velvet rug.

A secret letter from Wusun was placed on the table.

The maid whispered, "Princess, the king said that as long as we get the border defense map..."

Xue Qiong stroked the gold-threaded, jeweled armor and chuckled, "What does father know? What I want is the Phoenix Seal presented to me by Emperor Xuanwu himself!"

She grabbed the peacock blue silk with gold scales, which was given to her by Xuan Ling the day before when he praised her for her "exotic beauty". It was embroidered with two dragons playing with a pearl.

She stretched out her wrist and saw the cinnabar-red love poison jumping on her wrist. This was the greatest oath in the world - anyone who violated the love poison would die.

Emperor Xuanwu has been loving her more and more. Next, she will sit on the dragon throne beside him and live in the Yangxin Palace.

Father, your vision is still too narrow. What's the point of just opening up border trade and gathering some border intelligence?

How could it be as powerful as me, your daughter, who holds the Phoenix Seal and sits on the court side by side with Emperor Xuanwu?

In the middle of the night, there was silence in Guanju Palace, with only the breeze blowing through the palace lanterns, making a slight rustling sound.

The door of the main hall was gently pushed open, and Xuan Ling stepped in quietly, his steps as light as a cat.

He walked quickly to the golden nanmu bed with carved auspicious beasts and saw that Sheng Xiyan was already fast asleep.

She held his bright yellow silk shirt tightly in her arms.

There was half an empty space on the bed, specially prepared for him.

Xuan Ling felt warm in his heart. He leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the corner of her temple, then tiptoed onto the bed.

"Yanyan?" He called her softly, as gentle as water.

Sheng Xiyan was frightened during the day and was sleepy during pregnancy, so she was sleeping very soundly at the moment.

Xuan Ling leaned close to her cheek and kissed her gently, not wanting to wake her up.

He stared at her silently for a long time, then said softly, "I'm sorry, baby, I was mean to you during the day."

He rubbed the top of her head lovingly.

Now that I'm here, I should leave you with something to think about.

Xuan Ling recalled the day when she saw the palace maid braiding her hair, and she was inspired to try to learn it.
