Gu Wanying got out of bed barefoot without wearing shoes or socks, and ran straight towards the emperor who was coming towards her, then hugged him tightly.
The whole process was done in one go.
The emperor was overwhelmed by the woman's fragrance, but he had no time to appreciate it. He was only worried about whether Gu Wanying was hurt.
After pulling the person out of his arms and carefully examining him three times to make sure he was not injured, the emperor's expression calmed down.
Even someone as good at acting as Gu Wanying was frightened by his behavior just now.
He had a fierce face, as if someone owed him eight million.
"You really scared me! I never want to experience this kind of panic again." The emperor pulled her to sit on the bed and put her red, frozen feet in his arms to warm them.
Gu Wanying was startled by his action and wanted to pull her foot back, but the emperor held it tightly.
The emperor saw that she was in good spirits and had no injuries on her body, so he finally felt relieved.
He just learned that someone outside the palace had sent out a distress signal, and he knew that something was wrong.
"I just let you out once and this happened. I'm afraid I will never dare to let you out again." The emperor rubbed her feet and said fearfully.
"I have caused the emperor to worry, and I deserve to die." Gu Wanying made a very unstandard bowing gesture, looking like a dandy lady pretending to be a young master, which made the emperor finally laugh.
Gu Wanying is now pregnant with the dragon heir, a treasure. He dare not show this treasure to anyone casually.
Under the layers of curtains, the two of them slept in each other's arms. This was the first time they had just chatted under the covers of a quilt.
"Your Majesty, your child is in here." Gu Wanying grabbed the emperor's hand and gently placed it on her belly.
His rough palms gently stroked the soft and warm belly, where a little life belonging to him was hidden.
This feeling is very wonderful.
All living things will be born in women's wombs, just like his Yingying.
He gently kissed Gu Wanying's forehead, "God has truly blessed me with a priceless treasure, my Yingying. I wish I could give you the entire kingdom of Dayu."
Gu Wanying was shocked. She didn't want to be a concubine who brought disaster to the country yet.
Of course I don’t want to in the future.
"I am truly blessed to give birth to a heir for His Majesty. How can I expect anything else? I only hope that the child will be healthy and that His Majesty will stay with me for the rest of his life." Gu Wanying's voice was a little nasal. She knew that the safety and happiness of the rest of her life depended on this man.
After experiencing a terrifying night, Gu Wanying was already sleepy. While the emperor was still assuring her that he would find out the mastermind behind the incident as soon as possible, she had already gone to meet Zhou Gong.
The emperor looked at her sleeping face, touched her long hair lovingly, but tossed and turned.
It was a dreamless night. When Gu Wanying woke up, the emperor was no longer beside her and even the bedding was cold. It seemed that she slept very deeply.
"Your Majesty, are you awake? The Emperor specifically instructed us not to wake you up. The Emperor is so considerate to you." Yue Tao smiled and lifted the bed curtain. Feicui brought the water for washing her face to her bed for her to wash.
"The emperor also told you not to go anywhere else today, because someone will come to announce the decree later." Feicui also said this, with a happy face, without any fear or embarrassment from last night.
"What decree?" The emperor didn't say it last night.
In fact, the emperor wanted to tell him this last night, but Gu Wanying was too sleepy and fell asleep before he finished speaking, so she didn't know anything about it.
"They said they wanted to give you a surprise." Yuetao helped Gu Wanying with her makeup, and Feicui helped her choose the clothes to wear today.
Gu Wanying nodded. Since it was a surprise, she would just wait.
Last night, these two maids were so scared that they risked their lives to block her carriage. Naturally, they should be rewarded.
When Gu Wanying announced that she would increase their monthly salary to ten taels of silver each, the two maids were stunned at first, but then they were so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that they didn't know what to say and could only thank her continuously.
"Hurry up and get up. The ground is cold. This is the best solution I can think of." Gu Wanying had also considered the reward. "Bracelets and jewelry are not suitable for you to wear. Only silver and money are the most practical. You can spend it as you like."
Generally, the personal maid of an empress in the palace would receive about three taels of silver. If the empress had a lower status, the monthly salary of her personal maid would be even less.
Their income increased from three taels of silver to ten taels in an instant, which was an incredible amount of wealth!
Feicui was originally a little unfamiliar with Gu Wanying, but after experiencing this life-and-death situation, she felt that she was also a close person to Gu Wanying, so she worked harder in her daily life.
Gu Wanying didn't know that the news of the assassination last night had already reached Prime Minister Gu's residence. Prime Minister Gu and Gu Chen were so anxious that they couldn't sleep well all night. As soon as the sun rose, they hurried into the palace to see her.
At this moment, the mother and daughter were sitting face to face. Gu Wanying was only wearing home clothes and did not see outsiders. Even her makeup was light, and her hair was only pinned up with a hairpin. She looked very simple and elegant.
Seeing that Gu Wanying was not injured and in good spirits, I finally felt relieved.
Last night, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard Gu Wanying crying and shouting in pain. She was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep and only closed her eyes for a while at dawn.
"Mom, I'm fine. Luckily, the commander of the Golden Wing Guard showed up in time to save me yesterday. You see, I'm fine." Gu Wanying even stood up and turned around several times in front of her.
Gu Chen's mood improved a little. Seeing her like this, she immediately stepped forward, grabbed the person, and pressed her forcefully onto the couch.
"You should take a rest. I'm glad you're okay. There's no need to turn around in front of your mother." Gu Chen looked at her face and it didn't look like she was really in trouble.
She felt relieved now.
The mother and daughter were chatting when someone outside announced that the queen mother had arrived.
Gu Chen was so scared that she stood up from her chair, looking nervous and fidgeting.
Yuetao and Feicui hurriedly helped one of them out to greet them, but before either of them even stepped out of the threshold, the Queen Mother came in first.
After not seeing her for a few days, the Empress Dowager's spirit and energy had visibly improved, and her movements were much more agile.
She held Gu Wanying's hands and looked her up and down. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared.
"Empress Dowager, you can just send Nanny Wang over. Why bother coming here in person?" Gu Wanying helped the Empress Dowager sit down, and Yuetao and Feicui quickly brought tea and snacks.
"I must see it with my own eyes before I can feel at ease." The Queen Mother also did not sleep all night.
Gu Wanying has her precious grandson in her belly! And Gu Wanying is a kind and good child, she still values her very much.
