Late night, palace.
"ah!"
With a soft cry, the emperor woke up from his sleep, and Ge Shuyan, who was next to him, also sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Ge Shuyan leaned gently on the emperor's shoulder.
The emperor wiped his forehead, which was covered with sweat.
Just now... he had a strange dream.
"Your Majesty, I was just dreaming when you woke me up."
The emperor smelled the true fragrance emanating from Ge Shuyan's hair, and he was immediately refreshed. He reached out and embraced Ge Shuyan, and asked with a smile: "What did you dream about? Tell me."
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me."
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, you say."
Ge Shuyan came out of the emperor's arms, opened her arms and hugged the emperor's neck, and said with a smile: "I just dreamed that I was admiring flowers in the yard. Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and a golden dragon pounced towards my belly..."
In an instant, the emperor's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"
"No later. Your Majesty, I was woken up by you." Ge Shuyan looked at the emperor carefully and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, you look very bad. Are you feeling unwell? I will call the imperial physician to see you."
"It's okay... I'm fine. You're pregnant, go to sleep."
The emperor covered Ge Shuyan with a quilt, watched her fall asleep, then got out of bed alone, stood by the window, and stared at the night sky in a daze.
Just now, the dream described by Ge Shuyan was exactly the same as his.
this……
A golden dragon!
The emperor recalled that ever since Ge Shuyan was diagnosed as pregnant by the imperial physician, good news of a good harvest had come from all over the place, and one place even sent a white crane.
Such auspicious signs seem to indicate a bright future with peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
The emperor turned around and looked at Ge Shuyan who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Her sleeping face seemed to have a faint smile, and her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, which made him feel very at ease just looking at her.
The next morning, after the morning court session, the emperor returned to the harem to have breakfast with Ge Shuyan. When he walked to the imperial garden, he saw Ge Shuyan sitting in the pavilion.
"It was windy this morning, why were you outside?" The emperor stepped forward quickly and held Ge Shuyan's hand distressedly, "What if you catch a cold?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. Compared with the ladies from the Central Plains, my physical foundation is many times better."
The emperor smiled and asked Ge Shuyan to sit down. He just liked the heroic temperament of Ge Shuyan.
This is something that women in the Central Plains do not have.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is outside seeking an audience and said he has something important to report."
"Xuan."
Not long after, Xiao Yujue came in under the guidance of the chief eunuch.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father, and His Majesty, Consort Xian."
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Father."
Xiao Yujue stood up and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Ge Shuyan screaming, and then he covered his stomach and cried in pain, and even his face turned pale.
"My dear...what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, I... my stomach hurts so much..." Ge Shuyan tightly grasped the emperor's clothes, "Will our child be okay? Your Majesty..."
"No, no." The emperor nervously picked up Ge Shuyan and scolded, "Why are you still standing there? Call the imperial physician."
After saying that, he didn't care what Xiao Yujue wanted to talk to him about, and went back to the palace with his brother Shuyan in his arms.
"Your Highness, it seems that the Emperor cannot spare the time to come for the moment. Otherwise... you should go back first." The chief eunuch persuaded in a low voice.
Xiao Yujue was about to say something but stopped himself and nodded helplessly.
After the imperial physician examined Ge Shuyan's pulse, she was found to have just had a miscarriage and would be fine as long as she rested.
"How come you suddenly had a miscarriage?" The emperor sent the imperial physician away in annoyance. At Ge Shuyan's coquettish request, he stayed by Ge Shuyan's bedside for the entire day.
Xiao Yujue requested an audience with the emperor three times in a row but failed.
On the other hand, Shangguan Wanning, Huo Gang and Sun Jinyao have been tracking down her father's whereabouts, but they have always found nothing.
This made Shangguan Wanning lose her appetite.
"Ning'er, you haven't eaten all day. How can your body handle this?" Sun Jinyao brought some light food to Shangguan Wanning, "Eat a little. I'll continue looking with you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Yao."
Sun Jinyao raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled faintly, and touched Shangguan Wanning's head. "Silly girl, you said such words to me."
Outside the window, Mu Jingrui looked at the intimacy between Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning, clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the anger that could erupt at any time.
Suddenly, Mu Jingrui's eyes became sharp. He turned around and looked over, only to see Huo Gang walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"You didn't notice it until I was so close to you... That shouldn't be the case. If I had wanted to plot against you just now, it would have been easy to succeed."
Mu Jingrui was also surprised that his vigilance was so low.
He focused all his attention on Shangguan Wanning.
The person who should be with her should be him.
"You have met the master. What did you talk about with him?" Huo Gang asked casually.
Mu Jingrui didn't want to answer. He glanced at Huo Gang and turned to leave.
"In fact, I can guess it even if you don't say it. You definitely don't want the master to prepare the wedding for the eldest lady and Mr. Sun after returning to Beijing."
Mu Jingrui stopped and snorted coldly, staring at Huo Gang with sharp eyes. "And then?"
"The master refused to agree, so you killed him. Do you think this story is reasonable?"
Huo Gang's words made Mu Jingrui's eyes gradually dim.
This really seems like a very complete and plausible story. However, the truth is...
"Go explain it to the young lady. I think she will understand."
Mu Jingrui looked at Huo Gang meaningfully.
Huo Gang seemed to be implying that he was on his side.
Mu Jingrui said nothing and went back to his room.
In the dead of night, Shangguan Wanning lay in bed tossing and turning.
A black shadow flashed by and jumped in from the window.
Before Shangguan Wanning could even shout for help, the other party suddenly threw something out and lightly touched her, leaving her unable to move.
She saw a man in black standing in front of her and she held her breath nervously.
"Your father is in my hands."
The man in black had a hoarse voice, as if he was deliberately hiding his original voice.
His deep eyes met Shangguan Wan's, cold and solemn.
"Listen carefully. If you want your father to be okay, do two things for me. First, you are not allowed to marry Sun Jinyao."
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat and immediately sank.
