Chapter 38: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



Liana grew up in the magnificent Nanmo Kingdom's palace. Even when she was having fun with the people, no one stopped her from going anywhere.

Isn't this obviously treating her as a foreigner and not giving her face?

She looked at the people coming in and out, feeling depressed. "I don't care, I'm going in!"

Liana has a bad temper and she means going in if she says she will.

Just as he finished speaking, a whip came towards the Hua siblings again, like a spirit snake. The whip was swung with great vigor. If you were whipped by it, it would be no joke.

The envoy from Nanmo Kingdom, who had already noticed something was wrong, was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but he couldn't get close to the princess.

Everyone around gave way to her, fearing that they would be affected.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liana retracted the whip, nimbly slipped inside and disappeared.

Hua Wuyang was suddenly overwhelmed, and Lord Li was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead behind him.

This place is a den of infamy, and it only accepts male guests, not female guests. What is the princess doing going in there?

A few people ran in resignedly and tried to persuade Liana to come out.

Lu Jinyue was unaware of the chaos on the street. She was being pulled up to have her body measured.

The maid from the clothing department took a ruler and measured her from head to toe in order to make a dress that would fit her well.

But she herself was yawning, her eyes blurred with tears, staring blankly ahead.

When the ruler measured her chest, the nanny's eyes widened and she thought to herself that Lu Jinyue had a great figure and would definitely be able to bear children in the future.

It took an hour to finish the measurement. Lu Jinyue felt sore all over that she almost couldn't stand.

Shen Yunxiao accompanied her by reading the memorials, glancing at her from time to time, and suddenly felt that such a peaceful life seemed quite good.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, it was shattered.

Eunuch Ma presented a memorial, which was a report of victory at the border.

Shen Yunxiao read ten lines at a glance, his expression gradually becoming serious, until his face looked very ugly in the end.

Eunuch Ma lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Hmph! The little thieves at the border are so rampant! They don't take our Great Rui Dynasty seriously at all!" After Shen Yunxiao finished cursing, he immediately stood up and was about to leave.

But when he thought that Lu Jinyue was still here, he turned back.

"I have to go out for a while to discuss important matters with the ministers. You must pay attention to your safety in the palace. Don't go to places with water." Shen Yunxiao looked at her eyebrows and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

"I know, I know. You go quickly. Come back early. I'm so sleepy that I want to sleep first." After saying that, she tiptoed and sipped his face without caring that there were other people around, then turned and left.

Shen Yunxiao had no way to deal with her now, so he turned around and left when he saw her lying down.

The maids from the Clothing Department packed up their things and left, leaving only Lu Jinyue and two palace maids in the huge bedroom.

Exhausted, Lu Jinyue fell into a deep sleep shortly after she touched the pillow.

Symptoms of early pregnancy are obvious.

She was always restless in her sleep. Sometimes she dreamed about being with Ye Zhixing, and sometimes she dreamed about Shen Yunxiao suddenly jumping out and snatching her away from Ye Zhixing, and then bullying her severely.

But the cold and indifferent face suddenly fell off, and inside was Ye Zhixing's face.

She was sweating profusely from the dream and murmured subconsciously.

Baozhen, who was standing by, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help her wipe the sweat off her face.

After a long time, Lu Jinyue stopped mumbling and relaxed her brows.

Over there, Shen Yunxiao received a report of victory saying that several small countries on the border were ready to make a move. It was unknown who had instigated them to say that the current internal and external troubles in the Great Rui Dynasty were a good time to attack.

As a result, the border between Great Rui and North Korea has been hit hard in recent days. Those small countries united together and actually broke through a hole in the border defense line.

The old general stationed at the border was old and fought desperately to hold the gap, but the city on the other side was also broken and the situation was extremely critical.

In the imperial study, everyone had a solemn look on their faces. The situation was urgent and if troops were not dispatched in time, they would suffer a great disaster.

How could Shen Yunxiao not know this truth?

But how could he be careless when the former crown prince had not yet been removed?

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the troops to support General Chen!" General Hua was the first to step forward.

He has been a general for decades and has been stationed at the border in the past. He is very familiar with the situation there. He is the best choice to go.

Shen Yunxiao also had this plan, so he nodded in agreement.

When marching into war, food and supplies must go first.

When the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War heard that a war was going to break out, they were extremely busy.

"How is the crossbow arrow being made?" Shen Yunxiao asked again in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, after nearly dozens of days of working overnight, we have produced a batch of crossbows and arrows, with a total of approximately 20,000 crossbows and 60,000 arrows." The Minister of War worked day and night and never dared to make a mistake.

When I mentioned the number, I subconsciously puffed out my chest and felt very proud.

This was created by gathering talented people from all over the society, and it took a lot of his effort.

I didn't expect to use it so soon.

"It's not enough. Let the craftsmen continue and don't stop." Shen Yunxiao made a rough estimate and still felt that there was a shortage of quantity.

The Minister of War quickly agreed.

It was already evening when Shen Yunxiao finished his work and returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Lu Jinyue was sitting at the table about to eat.

But she had a bitter face, complaining about this and that, and didn't want to eat anything.

Shen Yunxiao had heard from the concubine before that women in the early stages of pregnancy cannot eat and often vomit and feel nauseous. This is normal.

He was ignorant at the time and just thought that the woman was being pretentious and would starve to death if she didn't eat.

Seeing Lu Jinyue like this now, I feel so sad.

"Can't eat?" he asked softly as he sat down.

Eunuch Ma quickly served him the food and then waited respectfully on the side.

"Well, I don't want to eat. I have no appetite." Lu Jinyue felt weak all over and had no strength at all.

Shen Yunxiao simply put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him.

Baozhen, Baohuan and Eunuch Ma, who were waiting on the side, all lowered their heads, not daring to look at this scene.

Lu Jinyue let him hold her in his arms, thinking of it as an extra cushion.

"No, it's too oily."

“This is too fishy.”

“This is too spicy.”

"Oh, I don't want to eat!"

"vomit......"

Every time Chen Yunxiao picked up something, Lu Jinyue looked at it with disdain, and then she turned around and vomited all over the place.

The palace was suddenly filled with an unpleasant smell. Fortunately, Baozhen had just taken the spittoon to collect the smell, otherwise it would have been a difficult job to clean up again.

Shen Yunxiao felt extremely distressed, his eyes falling on the dishes that were so disliked.

I don't know what I thought of, I took a sip, and when Lu Jinyue turned her head, I sealed her lips...
