Chapter 189: Release

Only at this moment did he feel completely relieved.

After feeling relieved, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He hadn't been here for only two days, so why did she make herself so upset? Every one of the servants in Lianyi Palace was useless!

Xu Lanshan raised her eyes from his arms and looked at him in a daze, her heart full of mixed feelings.

She could clearly see his heartache and pity, his concern and affection, the faint shadows in his eyes and his slightly haggard look.

I don't need to ask to know that because of his sudden illness, he must have been panicking, right?

The heavy depression that had been weighing on my heart, caused by the series of events that had happened in the past few days and the involuntary annoyances that had arisen deep in my heart, suddenly disappeared.

The clouds and fog dissipated, and the sky became clear.

Xu Lanshan suddenly came to her senses.

In the end, she was tricked by Concubine Yu.

She knew clearly that Concubine Yu's words were meant to confuse her and to plant a thorn in her heart, and she had no good intentions.

But she was still affected.

Even though she told herself again and again not to believe her, she subconsciously took it to heart and became upset, leading to her wild thoughts and this illness.

"I know I was wrong," Xu Lanshan wrapped her arms around Emperor Yuan Yong's waist, her eyes full of tenderness as she smiled softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I will never do it again!"

Why think too much?

There is really no need!

Nanny An was right. She saw it more clearly than herself. She said that the emperor treated her differently from how he treated others.

She had been dismissive before, but now she realized that she was really overthinking it.

No matter who she is, just watch.

If this man really had her in his heart, he would have no other thoughts except to take care of Miss Du. Otherwise, she couldn't do anything else. She could just assume that she had misjudged him.

It would be fine if Miss Du just stayed out of her way, otherwise she wouldn't be afraid to fight with her.

In short, she can either focus solely on her career or pursue her career while also having a love life in mind. Either way, she will not lose out.

Emperor Yuan Yong was stunned for a moment. For no reason, he had a feeling that the previous Lan'er had returned.

In the past few days, he vaguely felt that Lan'er seemed different from before. He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out what was different.

But at this moment the familiar feeling came back.

The slight uneasiness deep in Emperor Yuan Yong's heart disappeared completely in an instant. He still liked the previous Lan'er more.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly thought, could it be that Lan'er's changes in recent days, including this illness, were caused by being frightened by the recent series of events?

First it was Fu, then Concubine Yu. They were all about her. How could she have experienced this? It was normal for her to be overwhelmed and have wild thoughts.

The more Emperor Yuan Yong thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case.

He didn't even dare to ask any more questions, for fear that asking would irritate her again.

She is pregnant now and is even more fragile. How can she bear it?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Yong felt more and more pity.

He held Xu Lanshan's face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, saying softly: "Don't keep anything in your heart in the future. Tell me and I will help you relieve it. Isn't it uncomfortable to keep it in your heart?"

Xu Lanshan: “…”

What was going on with this tone of pity, even a hint of caution? She was a little confused.

Could it be... he knew that I knew about Du Qingzhi's affairs, so he deliberately tested me.

For a moment, Xu Lanshan wanted to ask him about Du Qingzhi, but after thinking about it, she held back.

This matter has nothing to do with her, don't ask.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty treats me with such care, I understand."

"It's good that you understand," Emperor Yuan Yong smiled, "Lan'er, please really understand!"

"Um!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

From that day on, Emperor Yuan Yong had dinner and stayed overnight in Lianyi Palace every day, and he was too lazy to go to other palaces.

Xu Lanshan also accepted it openly.

She was pregnant, and that was more important than anything else. Who could say anything wrong about her? She wouldn't listen!

At least the queen had no way to teach her a lesson at this time.

All the concubines in the harem gritted their teeth secretly. No one could do anything about it. Even when they went to pay their respects to the queen, they didn't dare to say a word.

During the day, Concubine Bai would go to Lianyi Palace from time to time to sit and talk. Before the emperor came, she would tactfully leave.

Therefore, when Bai Jieyu paid her respects, she was subjected to a lot of ridicule.

But now the most unscrupulous and inconsiderate person in the Fu family is no longer with us, and Concubine Yu is also gone. Concubine Shu, out of respect for her status, will not cause trouble for Concubine Bai in public. Others are more or less afraid that Concubine Bai will complain to Xu Lanshan, and even if they are so angry that they make a few sarcastic remarks, Concubine Bai does not care.

Mo Jieyu is quite funny.

He had been friends with Xu Lanshan for a while before, hoping to "accidentally" meet the emperor at her place and gain some benefits, but in the end he gained nothing. Also, seeing that the Fu family, who were of high status at that time, were targeting Xu Lanshan, he was afraid of being implicated, so he stayed away from Xu Lanshan.

I didn’t expect that the Fu family couldn’t defeat Xu Lanshan.

Whenever she thought about that, Mo Jieyu felt so upset. If only she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been so clear about the separation from Xu Lanshan.

At this point, how could there be no benefits?

As for Bai Jieyu, Mo Jieyu looked down on her. That woman had befriended Xu Lanshan for nothing, but she couldn't bring herself to ask for help, so it was only natural that Xu Lanshan wouldn't give her any benefits.

If you don't take the initiative to ask for something like this, does that mean the Empress Chenfei will think of you? Take the initiative to ask you?

Why?

Mo Jieyu was mocking and jealous in her heart, and thought to herself confidently that if she were Bai Jieyu, she would have been favored by now and would have enjoyed a lot of glory!

However, Bai Jieyu's stupidity was also good for her, so she went to please him.

She is not afraid of being humble.

Isn't this the case with everyone in the palace? Doesn't the Concubine Chen need an ally? If she can't even see this clearly, she won't be able to go far on this path.

Mo Jieyu thought about it and then went to Lianyi Palace.

Xu Lanshan was both surprised and not surprised that she would come. This person has always been like this, there is nothing strange about it.

Now that she's here, it's convenient for me to have someone to entertain myself.

Seeing that Xu Lanshan didn't chase her away or show any disdain towards her, Mo Jieyu felt relieved and became even more friendly with her. She kept calling her "Sister!" and "Sister!" and was as affectionate as if they had always been such close sisters.
