When Ge Shuyan returned to the bedroom, the emperor had already woken up. After drinking the medicine, he leaned against the bed to rest.
"Where have you been?" The emperor stretched out his hand to Ge Shuyan.
Ge Shuyan suppressed his disgust, stepped forward and placed his hand in the emperor's palm.
"I see that the emperor is sleeping soundly, so I don't want to disturb him. I'm going to the imperial garden to get some fresh air."
"You have been taking care of me day and night these days. Thank you for your hard work."
The emperor looked at Ge Shuyan's young and beautiful face, and there was a hint of dazzling light in his eyes.
He gently stroked Ge Shuyan's belly, as if muttering to himself: "Your pregnancy should be stable now..."
Ge Shuyan understood the meaning of the emperor's words and complained coquettishly, "Your Majesty, this little thing is not at all restless in my belly. This morning, the imperial physician came to check my pulse and told me to have a good rest."
The emperor was somewhat displeased, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
He didn't care whether Ge Shuyan was willing or not, he pulled her into his arms and pressed on her.
"emperor……"
"You are my concubine. I want you to sleep with me. Do you dare to refuse?"
"Your Majesty, I am also concerned about your health..."
The emperor simply didn't want to hear anything. He ignored Ge Shuyan's struggle and skillfully untied her belt.
Ge Shuyan was somewhat resigned to her fate, but Huo Gang's face reappeared in her mind.
The past scenes seemed to be right before her eyes, and she could no longer tolerate this dying old man doing whatever he wanted to her.
A surge of anger surged in her heart and she kicked the emperor down.
The emperor was caught off guard and tumbled off the ground, looking quite embarrassed.
He had never suffered such humiliation before. He was immediately furious and trembling all over. He pointed at Ge Shuyan and cursed: "You are so bold, you dare to..."
“Bang!”
Ge Shuyan didn't wait for the emperor to finish speaking, and slapped him in the face before stepping forward.
The emperor was completely confused.
When he came to his senses and wanted to fight back, Ge Shuyan slapped him again.
"You...you...are simply the opposite."
The emperor was beaten so badly that he could not speak. He covered his face and shouted loudly, "Someone come... someone come quickly..."
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came in.
Ge Shuyan walked slowly to the other side, sat at the table, and looked down at him.
"Do you think you are still the emperor? Look at your behavior. I want to vomit when I see you."
The emperor had never been so despised by his concubine. He struggled a few times to get up, and Ge Shuyan just watched coldly from beginning to end.
"I will sentence you to death!"
"Hmph, with you? Now?" Ge Shuyan sneered, "You don't know the situation outside yet. You abolished Xiao Yujue, and he has already led his troops to rebel. Maybe he will attack the imperial city tomorrow."
The emperor's face changed suddenly. He vaguely remembered that he had issued an imperial edict, but he no longer remembered the content of the edict.
He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"You... it's you..." The emperor understood that it was Ge Shuyan who took advantage of his unconsciousness to pass on the imperial decree. "Why did you do this? You have no ability to compete with the prince. If I die, you and the child in your belly will not survive."
"Don't bother you to worry about that." Ge Shuyan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, still smiling. "Let me tell you, the baby in my belly is not yours at all."
The emperor felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"How can this be! I will kill you."
The emperor pounced towards Ge Shuyan. A sharp light flashed in Ge Shuyan's eyes, and he kicked the emperor in the chest.
The emperor fell to the ground groaning in pain.
Ge Shuyan stood up and looked down at him.
"Do you think you can rest easy just because you are the ruler of a country? Think about it carefully. In your life, among the women around you and your children, who really treats you sincerely? Now, you just wait to die of illness and pain, alone."
Ge Shuyan didn't want to stay any longer and left in a huff.
The emperor lay on the cold ground and looked around, but there was no one around who could help him.
He could almost foresee that the situation outside had become dire straits.
Ge Shuyan stood in the garden, looking up at the silent night sky.
There was no moonlight now, and daybreak would soon begin.
It’s darkest before dawn.
Ge Shuyan received news that the genius doctor Lu Xiangzi was kidnapped in the Heavenly Prison. She knew in her heart that the person who kidnapped Lu Xiangzi was Huo Gang.
There is a great possibility that Lu Xiangzi can treat Mu Jingrui in time, so Xiao Yujue will have a better chance of winning.
Ge Shuyan looked down at his belly.
There was nothing in her life that she could decide for herself, except her love for Huo Gang...
"Can't hold it back so soon?"
A cold voice came from behind. Ge Shuyan tried to cheer himself up but didn't even turn his head.
"Anyway, everything is under your control. There is no need for me to continue this drama. Moreover, I advise you to make a quick decision. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to you to wait until Xiao Yujue has established a firm foothold."
As soon as Ge Shuyan finished speaking, a powerful force pulled her over.
Anger was boiling in her heart, and she turned around and did a roundhouse kick, knocking the person behind her away.
Xiao Zhenting took a few steps back and made eye contact with Ge Shuyan.
"As expected, she is the most beloved princess of the Turkic people. There is a reason for that. She is still very agile even when she is pregnant."
Ge Shuyan didn't respond, but just looked at Xiao Zhenting vigilantly.
She tried her best to hide her physical discomfort.
"Don't forget, we are in a partnership. I will help you complete your mission of ascending the throne, and I ask you to maintain the most basic respect for me."
Xiao Zhenting looked at Ge Shuyan. The charm emanating from this woman was something that women from the Central Plains did not have.
He smiled faintly, did not force it anymore, turned around and walked into the emperor's bedroom.
He saw that the emperor who had once been high and mighty and invincible was now using all his strength to crawl towards ** little by little.
This scene made Xiao Zhenting feel indescribably happy.
"Father."
When the emperor heard Xiao Zhenting's voice, he turned around with difficulty, as if he saw his savior.
"Hurry, hurry and help me...to **."
"yes."
Xiao Zhenting stepped forward and almost carried the emperor to his bed.
The emperor let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Zhenting, "You have come at the right time. Immediately convey my decree to execute the virtuous concubine."
Xiao Zhenting stood there without moving, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Father, you must have forgotten that you have demoted me to a commoner. I... am not qualified to convey your orders."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat and he quickly understood what Xiao Zhenting meant.
"Then...what do you think I should do to make you qualified to pass on the imperial edict?"
