"Why bring her up?"

He no longer had any feelings for Zhu Xianyue.

"Yes, I won't mention it."

"But... Your Majesty, the Daxuan Dynasty is now stable, and those traitors have been dealt with. Whether it is the Queen Mother or... or me, we all hope that... there will be something in the harem soon..." Shen Wantang advised.

Unexpectedly, Nan Lingye threw down his chopsticks in anger and said, "Sister, are you mocking me?"

Upon hearing this, the palace servants retreated.

Once Nan Lingye called Chen Wantang "sister", it meant that their subsequent conversation could not be heard by others.

Chen Wantang knew that saying this would make Nan Lingye angry, but she had to say it.

The Queen Mother had already talked to her in advance.

Now, in the harem, only Chen Wantang can say a few words in front of Nan Lingye.

"I didn't mean that. I was just thinking about the country. If I have offended you, Your Majesty, please punish me."

Shen Wantang knelt down.

She was already thirty-five years old. Due to the injuries sustained during childbirth and the death of her eldest prince, she looked ten years older.

Nan Lingye and Shen Wantang haven't slept together for a long time.

Chen Wantang also knew how ruthless the emperor's heart was, so she did not ask Nan Lingye to favor her again.

She was already very satisfied that Nan Lingye could come to her Chuxiu Palace when he was upset, talk to her, and have a meal here.

But... she also had to consider the overall situation...

"Sister, you know I won't blame you."

"I feel a little confused and want to go out for a walk. Don't worry, sister."

Nan Lingye got up and left.

Shen Wantang knew his temper, so he didn't follow him.

"Ah..." Shen Wantang sighed, holding onto the door frame.

The emperor has suffered so much, why can't he have an heir of his own?

…

On the long street.

From a distance, Nan Lingye seemed to see the figure of a person carrying another person on his back.

The overlapping figures moved very slowly.

Nan Lingye was confused and strode forward.

But I saw... Zhu Xianyue.

It was Zhu Xianyue, carrying her only little palace maid on her back and heading towards the Imperial Hospital.

Zhu Xianyue, Zhu Xianyue, who had never done housework, had actually fallen to the point of carrying a palace maid to the Imperial Hospital.

Oh, Zhu Yulin, if you were alive and saw your sister suffering like this because of you, I wonder if you would regret what you did.

It was you who forced my sister Yan'er to death. Now, let your sister suffer as well.

Nan Lingye wanted to leave coldly, but he heard a "thump" and Zhu Xianyue, who was carrying the little palace maid on her back, fell to the ground.

Nan Lingye could even hear the sound of flesh rubbing against the ground.

But Zhu Xianyue didn't cry.

The ever-delicate Zhu Xianyue really seemed like a different person.

Nan Lingye hesitated for a moment, but decided to help her up.

"……emperor?"

Zhu Xianyue feigned surprise, then quickly admitted her mistake, saying, "I didn't mean to escape from Yufu Palace. It's just that the only maidservant beside me fainted from shock. I was afraid something might happen to her, so I had to take her to the Imperial Hospital..."

Nan Lingye: “…” He almost forgot that it was he who had Zhu Xianyue imprisoned in Yufu Palace.

It’s just that Zhu Xianyue hadn’t made any noise for several days, and it was the time when the guards were changing shifts, so she was able to sneak out.

The proud Concubine Xi has now become cautious.

"Get up, I don't blame you."
