Sheng Xiyan opened her eyes drowsily, her forehead burning hot.
The palace was filled with the aroma of medicine. Mingyue was whispering to the little palace maid, "Hurry up and go to the Palace of Purity. Report this to the Emperor as soon as he leaves court..."
"Yuchen..." Sheng Xiyan suddenly struggled to stand up, her voice hoarse, "Who is talking about Yuchen?"
Hua Xia quickly supported her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother just took His Highness Chen to the Cining Palace. Aunt Mingyue has already sent someone to find the Emperor..."
"What?!" Sheng Xiyan suddenly lifted the quilt, and her eyes went dark.
"Change clothes! I'm going to the Cining Palace!"
Outside the palace, the spring breeze was blowing, making the cloak flutter like a butterfly.
When Sheng Xiyan stepped onto the Phoenix Chariot, her fingertips were trembling: "Faster! Faster!"
Just as the Empress Dowager's procession passed the white marble screen wall, a red shadow suddenly descended from the sky.
"Bang!"
Sheng Xiyan stood on tiptoe, blocking the phoenix chariot.
Her long hair moved without wind, her almond-shaped eyes were fierce, and a black and red mist lingered around her.
"Give my child back to me!" The voice was not like a human voice, with heavy echoes that shook the palace walls and caused dust to fall off.
The baby in the Empress Dowager's arms stirred, and Yu Chen yawned, his dark eyes darting back and forth. "Huh? The beautiful Empress Dowager is trying to snatch me away again? I'm so adorable, someone's always snatching me away."
"Monster...monster!" The Queen Mother held the swaddling clothes tightly, pressing the jade armor against the brocade. "Stop her for me!"
As soon as the palace servants took half a step forward, they were knocked to the ground by the monstrous demonic energy.
With every step Sheng Xiyan took, the bluestone floor tiles cracked into spider-web-like patterns.
She grabbed the head nanny who was blocking her way and threw her out like a rotten fruit.
"Queen!" The Queen Mother stumbled back, her back against the sedan chair.
"Queen, you are so presumptuous! Are you going to kill me? I dare you not to do that! Such treasonous behavior is worthy of the emperor's deep affection for you. How can you maintain his integrity in front of all the civil and military officials?"
"Are you worthy enough to mention Xuanlang?" Sheng Xiyan suddenly laughed, and this smile made the Queen Mother shudder. "You are a greedy, selfish old woman. You have repeatedly snatched human flesh and blood. You are the most vicious person in the world!..."
"Yan Yan!"
Xuan Ling's shout came from a distance.
He didn't care about the emperor's majesty, and ran over with the hem of his dragon robe in his hand. He saw Sheng Xiyan reaching out to grab the child.
The moment the empress dowager lost her balance and leaned back, Sheng Xiyan's heart suddenly twitched and her pupils shrank suddenly.
She subconsciously bent her fingers, and an invisible force held the empress dowager firmly.
Everyone was stunned.
"Empress Dowager!" The head nanny and the palace maids supported the staggering Empress Dowager.
Xuan Ling stepped between the two of them, turned around and put his arms around Sheng Xiyan's waist, which was cold to the touch - her dress was covered with a thin layer of frost.
"Yanyan, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother stroked her chest and looked at Sheng Xiyan in surprise. She was about to fall heavily to the ground, but a magical force pulled her up.
Sheng Xiyan gritted her teeth and said gloomily, "Don't try to snatch my child again, otherwise - I will kill you."
Xuan Ling said, "Come here, quickly help the Queen Mother go back to rest, and let the imperial physician check her pulse."
He patted Sheng Xiyan's back and coaxed her, "Yanyan, don't be angry, let's go back."
Sheng Xiyan's condition made him worried. Was there still a strong violent aura around her, or was it demonic energy?
The family of three sat on the imperial carriage. Sheng Xiyan said nothing and hugged Yu Chen tightly.
Xuan Ling said, "Yan Yan, I will have a good talk with my mother and tell her not to do this again. I will send heavy soldiers to guard the West Warm Pavilion inside and outside and not let anyone get close."
Back at the Yangxin Palace, Sheng Xiyan hugged Yu Chen tightly, not allowing anyone to touch him.
Xuan Ling tried three times but failed to take the child, so he had to coax her by offering her bird's nest soup: "Yan Yan, eat something. You take a nap. I'll watch over you."
You can sleep, but you must hold Yu Chen.
Xuan Ling had no choice but to let her go, thinking that he would take Yu Chen away after she fell asleep. However, she refused to let go even after she fell asleep. Yu Chen was also very surprised and did not cry or make a fuss.
Xuan Ling asked softly, "Stinky boy, aren't you hungry?"
Yu Chen put his little hand in his mouth and sucked it, his big eyes rolling around - Father seemed to want to throw me out, but how could I leave? Mother is in a very bad state now and needs me, hehe.
After nightfall, Sheng Xiyan suddenly asked: "Go and fetch all the children."
"Ah? ...Bring all four?" Xuan Ling asked tentatively: "Yanyan, you are still sick, and the children's crying will disturb you..."
"If you don't bring them here, I'll take them away." Sheng Xiyan's eyes were empty. "This broken palace is not safe at all. It's full of thieves who steal children!"
Xuan Ling felt a pang in his heart when he saw her gloomy expression. Could it be that Yanyan was suffering from postpartum depression?
"Okay, bring all the kids over. It'll be fun if we sleep together."
At night, two dragon beds were put together for the family of six to sleep on. Three wet nurses were guarding the flower hall and feeding the three babies in the middle of the night.
After Xuan Ling took a shower, he squeezed forward and was about to hug Sheng Xiyan, but she pushed him away coldly, "Go away."
Why don’t you let me touch it again?
Xuan Ling forced her into his arms, "Baby, I'll listen to you. The whole family sleeps together, and you still ignore me?"
He stroked her hair and said softly, "Yanyan, I know you are afraid. If I tell you not to be afraid, you will definitely want to scold me for saying something sarcastic.
But my husband wants to tell you that there is a solution to everything. As parents, we should be optimistic and proactive in solving problems, rather than using a negative attitude, right?
