Chapter 57 A Childless Middle-Aged Man (56)



After everyone was taken away, the matter was considered resolved. Mo Yuhan immediately ordered his men to return to the palace, as he was eager to go back.

I wonder how Yueyue is doing, since he hasn't been in the palace all day.

When Zhao Furong heard that Mo Yuhan was going back to the palace, she became anxious and couldn't help but get off the carriage and block Mo Yuhan's way.

"Your Majesty, weren't we supposed to be going on an inspection tour to the south? We haven't found anything yet, have we? Are we going back to the palace now?"

Zhao Furong has no desire to return to the palace; she cherishes this time alone with her.

Her idea was to make the emperor feel her meticulous care for him during this time alone, so that he would fall in love with her.

All I can say is that Your Highness, you're overthinking it. There's absolutely no way such a thing could happen.

Mo Yuhan's face instantly turned cold as he looked at Zhao Furong, who was blocking his way. If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to use her to restrain Prime Minister Zhang, he would have found a pretext to cripple her right now.

"I don't want to go on inspections anymore. What, do you have a problem with that?"

Before the Emperor, Zhao Furong dared not offer any opinions.

Moreover, the Emperor's expression didn't look so good either, so Zhao Furong had no choice but to let go of Mo Yuhan's hand.

She could only watch as Mo Yuhan led his large entourage slowly turned around and headed back towards the palace, and she had no way to stop him.

Zhao Furong felt extremely regretful; she had missed such a good opportunity.

With Mo Yuhan not in the palace, Jiang Jingyue was living a very comfortable life. No one forced her to take medicine, and she couldn't be more carefree.

She couldn't help but think to herself that she wished Mo Yuhan could stay away for a few more days, so she could have a few more comfortable days.

Fortunately, these were all thoughts she kept to herself; the man rushing to the palace over there was unaware of them, otherwise he might have been furious.

When Jiang Jingyue heard the news that Mo Yuhan had returned to the palace, she subconsciously stood up from her chair, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She originally thought that Mo Yuhan would have to wait a few more days to come back, but she didn't expect that he would come back in just one day.

Although she was surprised, Jiang Jingyue knew that what needed to be done still had to be done.

She could only ask Qiu Hua to help her with her hair and makeup, so she could prepare to go out and welcome Mo Yuhan back.

"Your Majesty, wasn't the Emperor supposed to be on an inspection tour? Why is he back so soon? Could it be that he couldn't bear to leave Your Majesty and the baby in your belly?"

As soon as Qiu Hua finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.

His eyes were full of smiles, and he kept looking at Jiang Jingyue with a teasing gaze.

Jiang Jingyue actually felt a little embarrassed when she was being looked at like that.

"Qiuhua, you've really gotten bold, now you've even learned to tease your master. I'll beat you up."

After saying this, Jiang Jingyue reached out to hit Qiu Hua, but Qiu Hua immediately ran to the side. Jiang Jingyue instinctively wanted to chase after her.

But before she could run over, Qiu Hua had already run back to her.

“Master, I still can’t run away. You have a child now, and I can’t make trouble for you.”

Qiu Hua was worried that if her mistress joined in the commotion, the baby in her belly would feel uncomfortable, so she instinctively ran back after only a short while.

Seeing Qiu Hua's worried expression, Jiang Jingyue burst into laughter.

"Qiuhua, it's really nothing. It's not like you can't run around when you're pregnant. Sometimes, moderate running might be better for the baby in your belly."

Hearing Jiang Jingyue say this, Qiu Hua was half-believing and half-doubting, still somewhat unable to believe it.

Generally speaking, in her memory, pregnant women shouldn't run or jump around, so she felt it was better to stick to this principle.

"Master, it's better not to run. Let's take it slow. Everything is for the good of the baby in your belly."

Seeing that she still looked worried, Jiang Jingyue could only nod helplessly.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, I won't run away anymore, okay? Let's get ready now, the Emperor should be arriving soon!"

Qiu Hua nodded. By this time, the Emperor should be arriving soon.

Jiang Jingyue saw Qiu Hua holding rouge and powder, about to apply it to her face, and immediately stepped back a little.

"Qiuhua, don't apply these things. Applying too much of these things is not good. Besides, I'm pregnant with two children now, so I definitely can't apply these things. Moreover, your master doesn't need these things at all, does he?"

When Qiu Hua heard Jiang Jingyue say that, she subconsciously looked up at her mistress.

Qiu Hua doesn't know why, but she feels that her master is getting more and more beautiful. She didn't have this feeling before, but lately she inexplicably feels that her master is getting more and more beautiful every day.

"My lady, I've noticed that you're getting more and more handsome. I can't take my eyes off you anymore. If I didn't get to see you every day, I would definitely be drooling."

Jiang Jingyue herself noticed this problem, which was probably due to the beauty pills working.

When she first started taking it, Jiang Jingyue noticed that her skin had become much whiter, and in the past few days she has also noticed that her facial features have become more and more refined.

Sometimes even she herself couldn't take her eyes off them.

"Alright, stop being so talkative. Just tidy yourself up a bit and change your clothes."

After Qiu Hua finished helping Jiang Jingyue tidy up, she followed her outside.

Normally, they would wait at the palace gate. When Jiang Jingyue brought Qiu Hua there, Consort De and the others were already there.

Jiang Jingyue looked around and realized that she was the only one who hadn't arrived; all the other concubines had already come.

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Yuhan didn't have that many concubines in his harem, she might not have remembered them clearly.

When Consort De saw Jiang Jingyue coming over, she immediately went to Jiang Jingjing's side and put her arm around her.

As soon as Consort De arrived, Jiang Jingyue smelled a particularly fragrant scent, and she knew immediately what it was – the scent of musk.

Jiang Jingyue subconsciously took a step back, breaking free from Consort De's hand that was supporting her.

"The scent of Consort De is so peculiar! I find it rather unpleasant, so I dare not stand next to Consort De."

After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she took a step back and stood not far from Consort De. Consort De's face instantly turned cold when she saw Jiang Jingyue's actions.

"Consort Jing, what do you mean by this? Do you despise me? I only helped you because you are pregnant with the Emperor's child. What you are doing is really hurting my feelings."
