harem.
The concubine's bedroom.
Xiao Mei should have been happy since she knew that Eunuch Lu had returned, but when she thought about the fact that her elder brother died on the battlefield, she felt very depressed.
What made her even more helpless was that her child was about to be born, but she had not seen her good elder brother.
From now on, I will probably be bullied even more in the harem without the support of my family.
Now, without a backer, the only thing she could rely on was the baby in her belly. But if anything happened to the baby, she would really have no advantage at all.
Now Queen Shangguan Feng'er is also pregnant. Compared with herself, she at least has her own family and her own good father, the general.
"Oh...my child, I really hope you are a boy, so that I don't have to suffer injustice and be looked down upon by others."
"Kid, you have to do your best."
Xiao Mei touched the baby in her belly with a look of anticipation on her face. She only hoped that she could get what she wanted.
Otherwise, you will feel really bad and miserable.
Just then, her maid walked in cautiously and whispered, "Your Highness, Eunuch Lu is here."
"Look, do you want to meet him?"
"Ah?" Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment. Why was Eunuch Lu here?
I thought that after Eunuch Lu came back, His Majesty would not be so worried, and then he would be able to take good care of me.
But unexpectedly, His Majesty still didn't do it.
During these days, except for the day when she learned the news of her elder brother's death, Xiao Mei had not heard His Majesty say a word of concern.
It's like he doesn't want to pay attention to himself at all.
It is obvious that I am pregnant with a dragon, but His Majesty doesn't care.
Fortunately, His Majesty treats the Empress equally.
Even the other concubines in the harem were just like herself, with no care or pampering at all.
Could it be that His Majesty is really sick again?
Since Eunuch Lu has come to see me, I must not neglect him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei hurriedly said, "Quick, let Eunuch Lu come in quickly."
"good."
After a while, Lu Yun walked into the bedroom and saw Xiao Mei sitting on a stool, looking charming and attractive.
Lu Yun was already used to it, but he had to admit that after not seeing her for a long time, Xiao Mei was becoming more and more attractive.
Especially after pregnancy, that mature charm is more prominent.
"Eunuch Lu, why are you here?"
Xiao Mei smiled slightly, but Lu Yun could also see that she was not happy, but rather had a very bad expression on her face.
"Your Majesty, I have been asked by His Majesty to come and visit you."
"Your Majesty said that the Queen has been worried and in a bad mood recently. Your Majesty thinks that he should be concerned."
"But... things didn't go as planned. Your Majesty was busy with state affairs and hadn't been able to attend to it. I'm very sorry."
How could Xiao Mei believe such nonsense? As the emperor, no matter how busy his majesty is, there is no need for him to take out any time to visit her.
It won’t take long to look at yourself and the fetus in your belly, right?
So this is a complete lie. His Majesty cannot be so busy and has no time. It is simply Eunuch Lu trying to make up for him.
I have to say that Eunuch Lu is very considerate of His Majesty, and he is worthy of being a popular figure around His Majesty.
Thinking of this, Xiao Meiji couldn't help but sigh, "Eunuch Lu, there are no outsiders here, so let's be honest. It wasn't His Majesty who asked you to come here, was it?"
"Even if His Majesty asked you to come, His Majesty would never say that. Your Majesty, in fact, you still don't want to see me."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "Well, the underground actually thought the same thing in their hearts, they just didn't say it out loud. After all, you know that His Majesty is the emperor, and he also has face to save."
"So I just need to say these words, my lady."
Xiao Mei rubbed her belly and sighed helplessly, "I know."
"Eunuch Lu, you've worked hard. After all, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid our Great Zhou would be in danger."
"These barbarians are so despicable!"
Lu Yun sighed and explained, "Madam Shufei, don't be too sad. We didn't anticipate what happened with General Xiao He."
"We have dealt with the person who killed him and avenged him."
"My Lady Shufei, I am also responsible for this matter. If I had killed Du Ruofu earlier, this would not have happened."
"I have to say, this guy Du Ruofu is really hateful."
"It's a pity that I didn't find his body on the battlefield. Later I asked someone, but it seemed that he was thrown into the wilderness and mixed up with other things, making it impossible to tell them apart."
Hearing this, Xiao Mei felt even more sad. She never expected that her good brother's body could not be found. What should she do?
As human beings, we naturally have our own obsessions in our hearts, which is to be buried in peace after death and to find the bodies of our family members.
"I tried my best, Madam Shufei."
Xiao Mei said helplessly: "Forget it, Big Brother was able to die on the battlefield, wrapped in his horse's hide. This is also a kind of recognition for him."
"It's not easy for my elder brother to be buried together with those warriors who fought alongside him."
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei felt a little calmer and relieved.
"By the way, Eunuch Lu, this trip is dangerous. Are you okay? After all, you are going there alone."
Lu Yun shook his head and explained softly, "I'm fine, my lady."
"I must have been confident in my safe return."
At this moment, Xiao Mei suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, Eunuch Lu, have you treated His Majesty's illness? His Majesty has not been in good health recently."
"I suspect His Majesty has suffered from the same symptoms as before, which is why he has been so cold to the concubines in our harem."
"Eunuch Lu, I know you have a lot of experience in this area, why don't you help him take a look."
"This..." Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and thought, the emperor had nothing to do in the first place, it was just that he did not show you any favor before he left.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely help you take a good look at His Majesty's side."
"Thank you, Eunuch Lu."
At this moment, Xiao Mei blushed, glanced at him a little embarrassedly, and said to Lu Yun, "Eunuch Lu, do you remember what happened between us before you left?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. No way, could this woman have told the emperor about this?
Of course, Liang Jing would definitely not be angry, after all, he knew everything he had done.
"I don't know what your Majesty meant by what she just said."
Xiao Mei smiled awkwardly and explained sheepishly, "Um... I haven't had that for a long time..."
