Suddenly, she stopped laughing and stared at Su Xuerong with a ferocious expression:
"Damn bitch, why didn't that fire burn you to death?"
Why am I here?
"I am clearly the mother of a nation, the most honorable woman in the world!"
What did you do to me?
Xu Wanjing suddenly looked dazed and frantic, then let out a sharp scream, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.
The jailer rushed in immediately and pinned her limbs down. Then, a painful thud was heard, and a bloody tongue was spat out by the frantic Xu Wanjing, blood instantly spreading from the corner of her mouth.
Her bloodshot eyes stared intently at Su Xuerong, and after struggling a few times, she stopped moving.
The jailer reached under her nose to check her breath, then shook his head at Xiao Yuan and Su Xuerong: "That's all."
Su Xuerong's fingers trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes.
The culprit who caused her family's destruction in her previous life is finally dead, but she can't feel happy about it.
All I feel is utter exhaustion.
She turned around and said, "I want to go out..."
She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly felt a wave of nausea rising in her stomach, and she vomited with a "whoosh".
Immediately afterwards, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body, and her vision went black as she collapsed to the ground...
All that could be heard was Xiao Yuan's panicked voice: "Arong! Arong..."
When she woke up again, Su Xuerong was back in her bedroom in Funing Palace.
Xiuchun and Granny Cheng sat anxiously by her bedside, but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her wake up.
Su Xuerong felt exhausted and glanced into the room.
Xiuchun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is awake? Actually, His Majesty just left a little while ago..."
He has not yet officially ascended the throne, but everyone in the palace has already changed their titles.
Granny Cheng said, "His Majesty told the Empress to rest more. He will return after meeting with the ministers in the Imperial Study."
Su Xuerong tried to get up, but Xiuchun came over to help her up with great concern.
Su Xuerong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
Xiuchun couldn't help but swallow hard and secretly glanced at Granny Cheng.
Su Xuerong keenly noticed her gaze and frowned, "What? Do I have some kind of serious illness?"
The two waved their hands hastily, but exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Just then, a palace servant's voice came from outside: "His Majesty has arrived."
The two quickly stood at attention, their expressions respectful.
Su Xuerong watched as Xiao Yuan walked in, wearing a magnificent robe embroidered with gold dragon patterns.
Today he wore a purple-gold crown, exuding an otherworldly air, and carrying a hint of nobility etched into his very being.
Especially his face, what a handsome face it was—sword-like eyebrows that flew straight up to his temples, narrow and handsome eyes, and thin white lips beneath a high nose.
Su Xuerong was momentarily stunned when she saw Xiao Yuan looking like this for the first time.
The true countenance of an emperor is probably what the person in front of me looks like.
Her somewhat mesmerizing expression caught Xiao Yuan's eye, which surprisingly stirred a sense of pride within him.
What a wonderful feeling it is to be looked at with adoration by the woman you love.
He waved his hand, and Xiuchun and Granny Cheng immediately withdrew.
Su Xuerong then came to her senses and said with a smile, "I almost didn't recognize you dressed like that today."
Xiao Yuan carefully observed her expression and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Su Xuerong then remembered that she had vomited before she fainted. She was about to say that she was fine, but then she suddenly froze.
She vomited, could it be...?
She was a little nervous and quickly thought about her menstrual cycle; it seemed like it hadn't started for a while...
Su Xuerong's face instantly turned astonished, and she stared blankly at the man in front of her: "I...I...I..."
She was a mother herself and knew her body all too well.
Is she pregnant again?
Xiao Yuan saw the surprise, confusion, and delight flickering in her eyes...
He couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded, and stared intently at her lower abdomen: "I hope it's a boy this time! Then Yuan'er will have a little brother!"
Su Xuerong blushed instantly and muttered, "It might not be a boy..."
She suddenly remembered her son from her previous life.
The child was taken away by Xu Wanjing after birth, and was later raised by Xu Wanjing in a bad way. Even though he knew that she was his biological mother, he refused to acknowledge her.
On the night she was burned to death, she wondered if her child would miss her even after she died...
I hope my second child in this life will be a kind-hearted child.
Su Xuerong was suddenly filled with hope for the little life inside her, and whispered, "He will be alright..."
Xiao Yuan reached out and held her hand tightly: "Our child will be fine, of course."
Xiao Yuan made a special trip to have dinner with Su Xuerong, and then went to the Imperial Study.
When Xiuchun sent the message to Su Xuerong, she said, "His Majesty's enthronement ceremony is the day after tomorrow, and the Empress's investiture will also be held at the same time. You must take good care of yourself these next two days."
Su Xuerong looked at Xiuchun, whose face was full of tension and worry, and smiled, "I know!"
She's already been a mother once, what's there to be afraid of?
The little girl was even more nervous than she was.
The next day, Xiao Yuan only accompanied Su Xuerong for three meals a day, spending his days either in the Golden Palace or the Imperial Study.
On the morning of the coronation, the sky was still overcast, but the snow had lessened considerably, and the officials of the Imperial Observatory were somewhat nervous.
The weather must not be too bad on the day the new emperor ascends the throne.
Looking at the well-fitting, heavy dress she was wearing, Su Xuerong couldn't help but ask, "Granny Cheng, was this prepared in advance?"
