Jun Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushed.
"Thanks!"
Linghu Lan gave a wicked smile. "What will you offer me in gratitude? How about repaying me with your body?"
Jun Zhe: "..."
Linghu Lan laughed heartily, her mood instantly improving.
She quietly stood guard by Jun Zhe's bedside. At first, Jun Zhe felt embarrassed by her gaze, keeping his eyes tightly closed and turning his head away. Perhaps it was because of the 'medicine' he had taken, or perhaps he was tired. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
Zhou Anyuan walked in, glanced at the room, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.
Linghu Lan tucked the blanket around Junzhe and walked over, asking softly, "What is it you need?"
"Your Majesty, the day for the palace banquet to receive the Rong Kingdom's envoy is approaching. May His Majesty decide on a date?"
"Dugu Feng?"
"Indeed? Your Majesty, you know?"
Linghu Lan nodded. "His reputation precedes him!"
Zhou Anyuan was somewhat surprised, then laughed. "Speaking of which, Rong Kingdom is also a place known for its beautiful women. I don't know what's wrong with Dugu Feng. After arriving in Daliang, he bought several beautiful women and kept them at the embassy, saying he wanted to take them back to Rong Kingdom."
"He didn't forcibly abduct women or seize them by trickery?" Linghu Lan sneered. Dugu Feng may be a womanizer, but unfortunately, his methods of gaining popularity are so unsightly that they are nauseating.
Zhou Anyuan pondered for a moment, "I haven't heard of that. With Prince Anxian accompanying him, it seems that no eggs were produced."
"Have they finished their shopping in the capital?" Linghu Lan held a bunch of beautifully blooming flowers that had just been cut that morning, a sight to behold.
"The procurement is almost complete. After this palace banquet, I'm afraid it won't be long before we set off back to Rong Kingdom."
"I see!" Linghu Lan nodded.
Seeing that Linghu Lan was no longer asking questions, Zhou Anyuan slowly withdrew.
Linghu Lan lay on the couch in a daze as dusk approached.
When Jun Zhe woke up, he saw this picture of a beautiful woman lying in spring. Suddenly, a feeling of wishing for peaceful times welled up in his heart, as if he had returned to the happy times of the past. His little heart was filled with the word "woman" from Ya Nian.
...
A few days later.
Junzhe's illness has completely healed.
Linghu Lan returned to her Suning Palace.
The Emperor's gifts arrived in a continuous stream, and in no time, everyone in the palace knew that the Empress had regained favor.
Looking at the room full of gold, pearls, and jade, Linghu Lan suddenly felt like she had struck it rich.
This time, Mo Tang is the emperor, the most powerful figure in the world, although his third leg is negligible...
The strabismus system: Once you have it, you can experience different models of a third leg at different stages. What more could you want?
Linghu Lan: So, you know how useless you are when you can't transform?
System: Bah! You troublemaker!
Linghu Lan kept part of the rewards she received into her private treasury and distributed the rest to the various concubines, creating a joyful atmosphere among everyone.
As the saying goes, extreme joy can turn to sorrow, and fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
This day.
Linghu Lan sat alone in the palace, leaning against the railing and watching the raindrops outside.
Springtime is always rainy.
Suddenly, a young palace maid ran up to report that Aunt Yun Nian from Xiankun Palace had arrived, saying that she had an imperial decree from the Empress Dowager.
Linghu Lan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then roughly guessed what it was about.
A smile played on her lips as she said, "Please come in!"
The young palace maid immediately went down and brought in another person, who smiled and said to Linghu Lan, "This servant greets Your Majesty the Empress!"
