The underwear was dyed a glaring red, and the satisfaction in Wen Yunxiao's eyes was obvious. He reached out and took the exhausted Lin Chunhuan into his arms.
It’s been exactly half a year!
He finally experienced the joy of being a man again!
The excitement in his heart, coupled with the pitiful expression and lingering tears of the woman in front of him, made him slow down his tone of voice. "Don't cry, since I want you, I..."
Wen Yunxiao was halfway through his words when he remembered that this little girl didn't know his identity at all. The smile on his face became even wider. "I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"My lord, do you know how serious a crime it is for a lowly palace maid like me to defile the palace?" She ignored Wen Yunxiao's promise.
Lin Chunhuan raised his eyes.
Crystal tears hung on her long eyelashes. She had been in love all night long, so much so that even her voice seemed weak. She was like a delicate white flower swaying in the wind and rain, not knowing where to go.
Elegant and clean, without a trace of impurities.
Wen Yunxiao couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had seen such pure eyes, and he was speechless for a moment.
There are many women in the harem. No matter whether they were sent in by court officials or found by the empress dowager, there is a strong sense of purpose in their eyes.
Everyone wanted something from him.
Power, wealth, or honor and favor from the mother's family.
Only this little palace maid... He came to Xiyuan on a whim, and the other party didn't even know his identity!
Lin Chunhuan wiped the tears from her face and stood up with difficulty, picking up her clothes. "This servant has already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I live in fear every day, and now..."
Lin Chunhuan didn't say the rest of the words. She bit her lower lip lightly, making her already crystal-clear lips even redder. "My lord, you don't have to promise anything. If you have pity on me, please forget what happened today!"
"If I attract His Majesty's attention, I won't be able to chop off as many heads as I want."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chunhuan turned and ran.
By the time Wen Yunxiao reacted, the last figure had already disappeared to the other side of the rockery. He frowned in annoyance. He had spent the entire night and even forgot to ask the other person's name.
It might be a bit troublesome to find someone next time.
But...that girl said that she committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?
Hiding in a corner of the rockery, Lin Chunhuan watched the emperor walk out of the West Garden in neatly dressed clothes. His stiff body slowly relaxed a little and he fell limply to the ground.
Time was too tight, and her plan was not thorough enough. If she was not careful, she might fail!
If I say I’m not afraid at all, I’d be lying!
Fortunately, God rewards those who work hard, and this most important step was finally taken.
His eyes gradually became firm, Lin Chunhuan stood up again, carefully adjusted his clothes, touched his lower abdomen, covered up all the marks left on his body, avoided the patrolling eyes and returned to his residence.
Xing'er had not returned from her shift yet, and Lin Chunhuan was lying alone in bed, thinking over and over again about everything that happened last night, fearing that he would have missed anything.
Every word she said, even every look and movement, was carefully considered.
The sentence about the crime of deceiving the emperor was spoken at the most appropriate time.
Her identity could be hidden from the maid who came to pick her up, but it could never be hidden from the Emperor. Now that she said it herself, it was an accident, but if the Emperor knew about it in the future, the nature of the matter would be completely different!
There is also the fertility pill. Although everyone knows what it does, no one has ever heard of such a thing before, let alone used it.
Lin Chunhuan couldn't completely let go of her worry until she was confirmed to be pregnant.
The sky grew brighter, and outside she could hear Xing'er humming a song. Seeing Lin Chunhuan, Xing'er smiled even more charmingly, "Sister Huan'er, those of us on duty today have received quite a few rewards!"
"Yeah?"
Xing'er nodded repeatedly and took out everything in her arms. "The emperor didn't come back all night last night. I was so worried. If anything went wrong, those of us on duty would be the first to lose our heads!"
"I didn't expect that His Majesty would not only come back early this morning, but he also seemed very happy. He praised everyone he met!"
"I got some caramel, try it!"
Before Lin Chunhuan could speak, a sweet taste had already overflowed from the tip of her tongue, and she immediately smiled with her eyes like crescent moons.
However, Wen Yunxiao's good mood did not last long.
Just after leaving court, he heard the news that the Queen Mother had vomited blood, and his face turned pale.
"Emperor, why is the life of us mother and son so miserable?" The empress dowager pulled Wen Yunxiao's sleeve and shook it gently, and burst into tears.
But even such a simple action almost exhausted her strength. She lay on the bed, gasping for breath.
The palace maids around her lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, holding a few bloody handkerchiefs in their hands.
The Queen Mother was already suffering from a heart disease. When she heard that the palace maid who held the lamp last night had a very clean handkerchief, she immediately understood what was going on and became so angry that she vomited blood.
If the emperor is not even capable of that, then her hope of having a grandson will be dashed!
But after figuring out what was going on, Wen Yunxiao heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand to dismiss his attendants. "Don't worry, mother. My son last night..."
After simply telling the Queen Mother what happened the night before, Wen Yunxiao smiled, "So, Queen Mother, you're worrying too much. We still have hope. Since that palace maid is able to help, maybe there's hope that my son's illness will improve!"
After all, this was the first time in more than six months that he felt like a man again.
I never thought that all this happened just because that person was Lin Chunhuan!
"The Emperor is serious!"
But in the blink of an eye, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up. "Which palace is this maid from? That woman is so unique, maybe she can give birth to more children for our Wen family!"
"Besides, she is an innocent girl. We can't treat her unfairly."
It is difficult for people in high positions to understand the emotions of people at the bottom. If Wen Yunxiao had not entered the harem for half a year and had not been successful in favoring two people in succession, she would never have said this.
How could the innocence of a palace maid really be taken seriously by those in power?
She just had hope that Wen Yunxiao would recover.
Mentioning this, Wen Yunxiao felt a little depressed again, "Everything happened in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask for his name."
"But don't worry, mother. That woman has a peach blossom mark between her collarbones. It's such an obvious mark that it won't be difficult to find."
Peach blossom pattern?
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then recalled some vague memories. "Quick, bring us the portraits of the women from the common people who are entering the palace this time!"
