Chapter 188 The Empress's Heartfelt Condolences
She couldn't help but break in. The girl wouldn't really be...
I kept praying in my heart: Prince, please be a human being!
Pearl didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she could no longer hear any noise:
"It's okay, the girl's water is here."
Biyun was a little dumbfounded: "Ah?"
"What's wrong?"
"...It's okay, it's okay."
The girl's period came a few days ago, right? Why is this happening again?
An idea suddenly occurred to me, this must be the excuse the girl made for herself.
The girl is so smart!
This way, you won't offend the Regent and you can also avoid such things.
She is worthy of being a girl, so I went back to sleep with peace of mind.
Nothing will happen tonight.
Pearl was no longer worried: "Let's go, take a shower and go to bed."
Just as she took a step, she suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think something will happen to the lady?"
It is a big problem if a girl does not come home at night.
Biyun paused, but was not worried.
"The young lady asked the young master to go back, saying that she had something else to do. If it's too late, he can stay overnight at the county lady's residence. The lady shouldn't notice anything."
If my wife knew about this, she would be furious.
Everything the girl did was absolutely unorthodox in the eyes of others.
But she felt that if this happened to the girl and the regent, it wouldn't be so strange.
Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let the girl worry about it.
What they didn't know was that after Chi Ming finished listening to their conversation, he opened his eyes. They didn't know what Qing Huan's mother's attitude would be when she found out.
Then he closed his eyes again and decided to think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow.
The most important thing tonight is sleep.
Ever since I slept in his arms for one night in the manor, I could no longer bear to sleep alone.
Only with the sound of her breathing could he sleep soundly.
Holding Bai Qinghuan in my arms feels like holding the whole world.

Princess Mansion
Chi Yugang was lying on the bed, ready to rest, when he sneezed loudly: "Who scolded me?"
The floor heating in the house is burning so hot, which shouldn't be the case.
Someone must have scolded her, could it be her mother?
What sin must she have committed in her previous life that she was reborn into her belly?
Outside the door, a maid's voice came: "Meet the Prince Consort."
Li Chengrui pushed the door open and cool air seeped into the quilt.
Chi Yu huddled himself in the quilt as hard as he could: "Didn't you say you would sleep in the study tonight? Why are you here again?"
Li Chengrui stood beside the bed, looking at her in the moonlight.
Chi Yu didn't know what was going on, but he could see anger and resentment in his eyes.
Why are you acting like a nagging woman?
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What happened?"
I just came out of the palace. Could it be that my mother is causing trouble again?
Before she could ask anything, Li Chengrui spoke.
"Madam, I heard that you think your husband has kidney deficiency?"
Chi Yu was stunned: "Where did you get this from? When did I say that? I definitely know whether you are weak or not."
How could a young military commander who is not even forty be weak?
What a joke.
"Then why did you ask the Regent to send aphrodisiacs to my husband?"
"I'm not, I didn't..."
"You come and prove to your husband whether I am... worthy or not!"
Li Chengrui pounced on him like a wolf or a tiger.
Chi Yu lamented, Li Chengrui must have taken the medicine and her legs were shaking. Will she be able to get out of bed tomorrow?
She cursed Chi Ming a thousand times in her heart.
Didn't I just send him some tonic?
He actually holds a grudge like this.
Her waist!
That night, the sound of the rocking bed in Chi Yu's room never stopped.
The maids outside the house quietly retreated, happy for the eldest princess.
After so many years of marriage, the prince consort still dotes on the princess so much, which is rare in the capital.
......
In the imperial palace, the night was deep and everything was silent, except for the flickering candlelight in the Queen's Changqiu Palace.
His Majesty sat cross-legged on the couch, looking up at the Queen sitting beside him. His fatigue was slightly reduced and his eyes were full of tenderness.
The queen pursed her lips slightly, smiling brightly. She reached out her hand, poured a cup of hot tea for the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are tired today. Do you want to rest early?"
His Majesty took the teacup and took a sip. Warmth flowed through his heart. He nodded slightly and looked at the queen tenderly: "With the queen by my side, I feel at ease."
In one sentence, the Queen burst into tears: "Your Majesty..."
When she was named Crown Princess by the previous emperor, she fell in love with Chi Yao, who was still the Crown Prince, at first sight.
He was so high-spirited and ambitious back then that she couldn't help but admire him.
I thought that when Chi Yao ascended the throne, she would be the queen, and she and the emperor would live in harmony and love with each other.
Chi Yao also liked her back then, she could see it from his eyes.
Besides, her aunt is the empress dowager. Even if there are other concubines, they will not bypass her. Her life will definitely be smooth.
If she gives birth to another legitimate son, her position will be unshakable.
But who would have thought that on the second day after Chi Yao ascended the throne, the empress dowager brought Yun Yuxiang into the palace, made her a noble concubine, and asked Chi Yao to favor her alone.
Yun Yuxiang poisoned her, and Chi Yao went to ask her for an explanation, but was scolded by the Queen Mother.
She understood his helplessness and had to avoid him.
This avoidance lasted for more than ten years.
The emperor also thought of what happened back then and sighed, "I know your grievances."
For the sake of my mother, I have indeed let the Queen down a lot.
"My queen mother has obsessions, and so do I. I was not loved by my queen mother when I was young, and I always wanted to please her when I grew up, and in the end, I wronged you."
"I am sorry for you after all."
The emperor was very apologetic. He let the queen take refuge in the Buddhist temple because it was the result of his inaction and failure to balance the relationship between his mother and wife.
Now it seems that I was really stupid back then.
It is naive to think that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. It's all in the past. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong."
Han Shurong has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for so many years that she has come to terms with it.
"I asked you to fake your death, leave the palace, hide your identity, and marry a good family. Why didn't you leave?"
Han Shurong's eyes dimmed a little: "Don't you really know that I love you?"
Having said this, His Majesty felt even more sorry for her.
"I know, I like you too, but it is precisely because of this that I want you to leave the palace even more."
Han Shurong also asked the questions that had been buried in her heart for many years.
"Your Majesty likes me, I can feel it, but why did you not favor me later when you mourned for the late emperor after we got married and couldn't have sex for a year? "
"Are you really doing this to keep your virginity pure for Yun Yuxiang?"
"But that's not right. If that were the case, the Fifth Prince wouldn't have been born."
These questions touched the deepest and most painful part of His Majesty's heart.
He stared at the candlelight, struggled for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out.
