Nan Han smiled faintly. In fact, when she was taking the medicine these days, she had already asked the imperial physician carefully. Although the imperial physician was vague and did not say it directly, she had guessed something.
If it were in the past, maybe she would have cried and made a fuss, but now, after going through so much, she has long been numb. She is even a little glad that with that woman around, she would not be able to keep the child even if she had it!
A Luo looked at Nan Han's dark smile and suddenly felt heartbroken. He lowered his eyes and silently combed Nan Han's hair.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of birds singing outside. Luo looked at the refreshing weather outside, with many feelings in his heart.
"A Luo, do you still have Lan Shuiyao in your heart?" Nan Han's voice sounded faintly, breaking the silence.
A Luo was stunned and frowned slightly, not understanding why Nan Han asked this.
"You are storing troops on the border. Do you want to attack Nanyue?" Nan Han noticed his expression and continued to ask.
"Who told you that?" A Luo's eyes darkened. He ordered everyone in the palace not to reveal any information about Nan Yue to Nan Han. Why did she know that?
"Don't ask me where I got the information. I just want to know, are you attacking Nanyue because of Lan Shuiyao?"
A Luo's hand holding the jade comb tightened slightly, and his joints turned pale due to the force. A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he continued to comb her hair, whispering, "Just take care of your health, don't worry about it!"
Nan Han smiled faintly, looked at A Luo in the mirror, and whispered, "A Luo, now I only have Nan Yue!"
A Luo's hair-combing movement froze, and he looked into the mirror at the woman's eyes. Although she was smiling, her eyes were full of bitterness.
A Luo walked into the study and Leng Jiu followed silently behind him.
Ah Luo sat at the table, not interested in reviewing the memorials. For some reason, Nan Han's words kept lingering in his mind.
irresolute.
She said, she only has Nan Yue!
"Leng Jiu, let the imperial physician come to see me!" A Luo put down the memorial and spoke coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Leng Jiu hurried over. In just a cup of tea, the imperial physician trotted into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty. Your Majesty..." Before he could finish his greetings, he was interrupted coldly by Luo.
"Okay, no need to bow. Let me ask you, how is the queen's health?" A Luo said coldly.
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, as if thinking of the right words.
"Tell the truth!" Luo's eyes darkened and he stared at the imperial physician coldly.
"Your Majesty, at present, the Queen is in poor health. She has lost too much blood this time. I am afraid that if she wants to have another child..." the imperial physician spoke cautiously.
"Can I have it or can I not?" Luo hated the ambiguous words from the imperial physician the most.
The imperial physician sighed and shook his head, "There is only a one percent chance!"
A Luo was stunned. That is... "You have to keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone. Do you understand?" A Luo said coldly.
The news of Nanhan's loss of virginity has spread in the palace. It was because he insisted that it did not happen that he suppressed the advice of those ministers. If Nanhan is unable to give birth again, A Luo knows what the consequences will be!
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I know this matter is of great importance and I will never speak nonsense. However, the Empress Dowager summoned me yesterday, and I..." the imperial physician explained tremblingly.
"Have you told the Queen Mother?" A Luo was anxious and immediately stood up from the throne.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" The imperial physician immediately knelt on the ground.
"You deserve to die!" A Luo's eyes bulged out like the King of Hell, "Leng Jiu, drag him down and beat him to death!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Leng Jiu stepped forward, coldly grabbed the imperial physician's neck and dragged him away.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The imperial physician shouted loudly, but A Luo didn't even frown.
What exactly did Ji Xiang want to do? Why was she targeting Nan Han so much? Did Nan Han offend her? Killing Nan Han's child was not enough, so she had to kill Nan Han completely?
Leng Jiu came in from outside with a cold face, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is dead, and the body has been dragged out!"
"Well done!" A Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Leng Jiu, you have to pay close attention to the Queen Mother's movements these days and see who she usually interacts with!"
Leng Jiu was stunned, "Surveillance of the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, I'm afraid she will do something bad to the Queen!" A Luo said in a deep voice.
He thought he would feel better after leaving the palace and entering the palace, but the more Yue Nanchen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He thought that the two of them were so close and should have been able to understand each other, but now he suddenly felt like he was being abandoned.
Yue Nanchen frowned coldly, a gloomy and defiant aura slowly emanating from his body. Although he said nothing, his invisible anger frightened all the civil and military officials so much that they dared not even breathe, for fear that if they were not careful, their heads would move to another place on this first day of the new year.
The atmosphere at the banquet was even more sinister, but the man who was immersed in his anger didn't care at all. He just stared at the quilt in front of him, as if it was Yao'er's face.
He really wanted to ask for clarification, but he knew Yao'er's temper. Since she deliberately hid it from him, she would definitely not tell him! Then there was only... The man suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
"Have you all eaten and drunk enough?" Yue Nanchen raised his head, put the wine glass on the table in front of him, raised his eyes and asked coldly.
Then there was the sound of clinking of wine glasses and clinking of chopsticks, and the ministers immediately apologized.
He nodded eagerly, "Your Majesty, we are all well fed and well-fed!"
"Then let's retreat!" The man waved his hand coldly, stood up and left, leaving all the ministers in the hall stroking their flat stomachs and staring in a daze at the untouched food in front of them.
The King of Yongnan had been angry since the beginning of the banquet, so how could they dare to move? They could only stare at the food in front of them and listen to their stomachs growling for two full hours.
This year’s palace banquet was truly unforgettable – I was so hungry!
Late at night, Yue Nanchen got off the carriage, and Fulu was waiting at the gate of the mansion as usual.
"Where is my wife?" Yue Nanchen asked in a low voice, but he hoped that it was Shui Yao who greeted him at the door.
"My lord, the madam left without having a meal. Fulu asked her to send someone to see her off, but she refused!" Fulu replied quickly, feeling somewhat relieved. It seemed that the lord still had the madam in his heart. This was good, very good!
Yue Nanchen frowned. Gone? Where did he go?
Fulu added, "Although Madam didn't allow me to follow you, Fulu later sent someone to the Blue Water Clinic to check on her. Madam returned safely to the Blue Water Clinic, so please rest assured, Master!"
"Well done!" Yue Nanchen relaxed his brows, turned around and took two steps, but then stopped, thought about his plan, and walked into the palace without looking back.
Fulu quickly ordered people to drive the carriage into the palace. The dark door creaked in the cold night and then closed heavily.
Under Tianwen's guidance, Lan Shuiyao adjusted her plan and waited for Leng Yichen and Jie Xi to arrive.
It’s the second day of the Chinese New Year, and it’s another sunny day. Although it was cold for a while after the beginning of spring, it suddenly warmed up today and the snow on the ground slowly began to melt.
Shuiyao went out in the morning to observe the situation and came back at noon. At noon, the sun was even warmer, and there was a real breath of spring.
Tianwen
As usual, he was dressed in silver and sat quietly in the hall, meditating. When he saw Shui Yao coming back, he whispered, "Are you worried about the warm weather and the ice on the Mo Ming Lake melting?"
Shui Yao was stunned. Tianwen was indeed Tianwen. Nothing could be hidden from him. In fact, if there was no Ji Xiang and Wuxing Palace, Louxi Kingdom would have been able to become independent long ago. It could only be said that Tianwen was born at the wrong time.
"That Unnamed Lake is indeed a shortcut to the Kingdom of Miro! The Kingdom of Miro is sandwiched in a valley, and that Unnamed Lake is the only flaw. As long as the ice doesn't melt, it won't take us half an hour to get there. We will definitely be able to catch them off guard and capture Unnamed City. That Unnamed City is the fortress of the Kingdom of Miro. Controlling it will make things more efficient!"
Since Tianwen had seen through her, Shuiyao did not hide anything and told the truth.
Tianwen nodded, "Yes, that Moming Lake is indeed the only shortcut to the Miro Kingdom. But even if the ice on the lake doesn't melt, your people are all good at Qinggong, and it's impossible to cross the entire lake that stretches for a thousand miles in one hour!"
Shui Yao smiled faintly, "I have my own way. Now I just pray that the weather will be colder. If the ice melts, I'm afraid I'll have to make other plans!"
Even if that boat is equipped with a manual motor, it can't be faster than the ice skates!
Tianwen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the weather will only warm up for three days, and there will be snow for the next half month. The ice on the Mo Ming Lake will definitely not melt!"
Shui Yao was stunned. She didn’t expect Tianwen to know so much that he could even predict the weather for half a month. It was really scary to think about it!
"Your expression is..." Tian Wen looked at Shui Yao helplessly.
"No, I just feel more and more that I would rather be your friend than your enemy!" Shui Yao smiled faintly.
"It's not like we don't have enemies. After all, I'm no match for you!" Tian Wen said in a deep voice.
