After saying this, Chunhua slowly closed her eyes and never woke up again.

Wu Jing was heartbroken. She used to have Chunhua with her, but now she had no one left. She crawled towards the direction where Chunhua was.

Looking at Chunhua's current state, Wu Jing suddenly felt a pang of regret. If she had just stayed put and remained the Empress, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Although that's what she thought, there's no going back in life, and she has to take responsibility for her mistakes.

Fei Leng waved his hand at Su De, who understood the Emperor's meaning. He looked up at the guards below and gestured, and they immediately understood.

After everyone in the study was led away, Su De looked at Fei Leng, who was sitting on the dragon throne with a somewhat unpleasant expression, and couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.

"Your Majesty, please don't be sad about what happened to the Empress. Since the Empress did these things, she has to take responsibility for them. Fortunately, Consort Jing is alright, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Upon hearing Su De mention Jiang Jingyue, Fei Leng immediately stood up. Now he could finally give Jiang Jingyue a proper explanation.

"Your Majesty, where are you going? Aren't you going to deal with the memorials?"

There's no place like a beautiful woman when it comes to official documents, and besides, he should tell her about this matter.

So Fei Leng couldn't wait to walk into Jiang Jingyue's palace.

As soon as Fei Leng arrived at Jiang Jingyue's palace, he saw Jiang Jingyue lying on a recliner, leisurely having Dong'er massage her feet, her eyes closed and her cheeks flushed.

She gently pressed her hand on her slightly protruding belly and patted it lightly.

Seeing Jiang Jingyue like this, Fei Leng's stiff expression softened instantly.

He cautiously approached Jiang Jingyue's side. Dong'er saw him and was about to call out when Fei Leng stopped her.

Fei Leng slowly squatted down in front of Jiang Jingyue, and then waved for Dong'er to leave.

Dong'er was also very sensible and immediately stepped back. Fei Leng took over Dong'er's work and gently massaged Jiang Jingyue's feet.

Although Fei Leng didn't say anything, Jiang Jingyue already knew he was there, but she didn't expose him and just let Fei Leng massage her feet.

Perhaps it was because Fei Leng was stronger, but the massage felt more comfortable than Dong'er's. Jiang Jingyue was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

If it weren't for the fact that Fei Leng seemed to want to talk to her about something, Jiang Jingyue would have liked to just go to sleep like that.

Jiang Jingyue slowly opened her eyes, looked towards Fei Leng, and then widened her eyes, speaking in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here! Wasn't Dong'er just helping me massage her? When did you arrive? Why didn't you wake me up?"

When Fei Leng saw that Jiang Jingyue had woken up, he immediately helped her up and put her in his arms.

Fei Leng loved holding Jiang Jingyue; after all, the little woman smelled sweet and was soft, making it especially comfortable to hold her.

"Xiao Jing, I came here to tell you that I have found out who drugged you and dealt with them. I just don't know if you are satisfied."

As soon as Fei Leng said this, Jiang Jingyue looked at him with a questioning expression, and then asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, who is it? Who is so cruel as to do such a thing to the child in my womb? I have never wronged anyone. Why would someone be so cruel as to harm an unborn child?"

Seeing Jiang Jingyue so agitated, Fei Leng immediately hugged her tightly and comforted her.

"Xiao Jing, don't get agitated. She has already received the punishment she deserved."

Jiang Jingyue took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Your Majesty, who is that person? Tell me, I want to know."

Fei Leng hadn't planned to say anything, but seeing Jiang Jingyue's insistence on knowing, he could only speak to her seriously.

"Xiao Jing, it's the Empress. This was a plot by the Emperor and Chunhua, who was by her side. Chunhua is already dead, and the Empress will never leave the Cold Palace. I have already demoted her to the rank of Consort."

Hearing Fei Leng say that, Jiang Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded to Fei Leng and instinctively hugged him tightly.

"Your Majesty, thank you for everything you have done for me. I am very happy."

Hearing Jiang Jingyue happy, Fei Leng's previously depressed mood also improved.

"Xiao Jing, as long as you're happy. No one will hurt you or the baby in your belly anymore. Let's just wait patiently to welcome our baby."

Jiang Jingyue is also looking forward to the baby in her belly, but she doesn't know how long it will be before the baby is born.

Just as Jiang Jingyue was thinking about this, the system immediately spoke to her.

"Host, don't worry! Twins usually come out a month early. You're about four months along now, and the babies will be born soon. I'll let you know when they're about to be born."

Since the system had said so, Jiang Jingyue was no longer worried. Anyway, when it was time to give birth, the system would protect her.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's almost time for Jiang Jingyue to give birth. The system had already informed Jiang Jingyue a day in advance so that she could prepare.

After buying the painless childbirth pills and postpartum recovery pills she needed, Jiang Jingyue felt much more at ease.

She was just waiting for labor to start so she could take the medication and give birth.

At this moment, Fei Leng led Jiang Jingyue outside the palace to see the snow. This was the first time Jiang Jingyue had ever seen snow.
