The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at Ning Yu with a condescending scrutiny, "How did the queen know this?"

There was no fear on Ning Yu's face. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked directly at the emperor with a slightly mocking tone.

"Your Majesty, when you first targeted Concubine Xu, wasn't it to contain me, the Queen? Isn't it the same now that you're doting on Concubine Li..."

Ning Yu spoke so directly because she guessed that the emperor still had her in his heart, and because the emperor felt guilty towards her, she dared to say it so directly.

Xiao Yan felt a moment of panic in his heart.

It turned out that the queen knew everything. She was afraid that the Ning family took the initiative to contact her and told her everything.

Then she should also understand her own difficulties.

The Ning family holds military power, how can he, as the emperor, feel at ease?

The emperor helped Ning Yu onto the soft couch and held her soft hands. His voice was still low and mellow. "Since the Queen understands, then she naturally knows what I am thinking. Could the Queen persuade the Ning family to hand over the military power..."

At this point, the emperor's tone suddenly changed, full of threats and murderous intent, "If you don't hand it over, don't blame me for using thundering means. I am only explaining it clearly in advance for your sake..."

The queen lowered her eyes and tried to pull her hand away, but the emperor was too strong and held it tightly, as if he was afraid she would run away.

"...I understand." Ning Yu said in a clear voice.

She had long planned to persuade the Ning family to hand over the military power. Although her original father, the general of the Ning family, was obedient and loyal, several villains under the Ning family were causing trouble and kept jumping around under the banner of the Ning family, which in turn offended the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor in the storybook made up his mind to get rid of the Ning family.

A trace of surprise flashed across the emperor's face. He didn't expect the queen to be so happy. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Then I will wait for the queen's good news."

But I felt inexplicably uneasy in my heart.

It feels like something is about to be lost.

Ning Yu opened her eyes and looked at the emperor, her eyes shimmering with tears and her voice filled with pleading, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a favor."

The emperor vaguely guessed it, but still spoke, "Go on."

"The Ning family has never done anything to offend Your Majesty. After the military power is handed over, Your Majesty, please treat the Ning family well."

Ning Yu slowly lowered her eyebrows, her snow-white neck exposed to the air, fragile and slender, her back still straight.

The emperor was silent for a while, his eyes somehow falling on the bulging belly. A hint of guilt appeared in his eyes, and he sighed softly.

"Can."

That's all.

After all, he owed the Queen.

Ning Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor was suspicious and ruthless, he would definitely keep his promise.

The Ning family was saved.

She had also thought about what would happen if the Ning family did not hand over the military power.

But how could His Majesty allow this? Even if he felt some guilt and love for her, for the Emperor, as long as there was an obstacle to his imperial power, he would remove the obstacle with a thundering blow!

No matter who it is.

After the emperor left, Ning Yu immediately wrote a letter to the Ning family.

General Ning was quite fond of the original body, so Ning Yu was still somewhat confident that he could get General Ning to hand it over voluntarily.

In his previous life, he was immersed in grief and did not realize it. By the time he understood it, it was already too late.

As time passed, Ning Yu's belly became bigger and bigger, which was a bit shocking. She needed someone to support her when she walked.

The morning light is dim and the sun is shining brightly.

Ning Yu had spent almost her entire pregnancy in Kunning Palace. She was a little tired and whispered, "Lixiang, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Li Xiang, however, didn't dare let Ning Yu go out casually, and advised, "Your Majesty, your due date is almost here, so we'd better not go out. It would be bad if someone accidentally bumped into Long Si."

Ning Yu knew that Lixiang was doing this for her own good, so she had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, Concubine De suddenly rushed in, her steps were disorderly, and her expression was full of anxiety. "Your Majesty, please help me, my daughter Wanwan is missing!"

Ning Yu quickly had someone help Concubine De up and comforted her, "Concubine De, please tell me slowly. Why did Wanwan disappear?"

Concubine De clenched her fingers, and the pain in her palms forced her to calm down. "Your Majesty, Wanwan secretly ran out to play yesterday. It's all my fault. I always trapped her in the palace, which made her always want to go out. Yesterday, when it was almost evening, Wanwan still hadn't returned.

I then immediately sent people to look for her... I also sent people to ask His Majesty for help, but His Majesty was busy, so he asked Eunuch Fu to send a few eunuchs to look for her... Now it's the second day and she still hasn't been found. My Wanwan..."

"My Lady, please, His Majesty has always loved you. Please tell His Majesty again."

When Concubine De thought of Wanwan shivering in the cold wind, her heart ached and she was about to cry.

Ning Yu also had some affection for Wan Wan, and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'll go find His Majesty and send guards to look for her."

Li Xiang hesitated for a while, then slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, why don't I go find His Majesty? You are pregnant with the dragon heir, what if..."

Ning Yu waved her hand and said, "No need. I'll go myself. Finding Wanwan is the most important thing right now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine De was full of gratitude.

Lixiang didn't know how to speak anymore, so she carefully helped Ning Yu onto the phoenix sedan chair and successfully arrived at the imperial study.

When the eunuch guarding the gate saw the queen coming, he hurried in to inform her and saluted the emperor who was sitting high.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived, followed by the Virtuous Consort."

The emperor frowned slightly, full of worry. When he was about to go down to greet him, Ning Yu had already pushed the door open and came in.
