Jiang Xianhao's throat tightened and her face turned red.
"With only one day left until the Emperor and Empress's wedding, you'd better hurry."
Emperor Rongcheng nodded, his eyes shining as if they held stars, and exuding a resolute power.
The next day, Jiang Xianhao heard that Emperor Rongcheng had spent a whole day and night ignoring his court officials and doing nothing, instead spending his time in the imperial garden in his dragon robe, searching for earthworms in the flowerbeds.
Despite his extremely hard work.
However, the gardeners in the Imperial Garden were too diligent.
Even though he searched every inch of the Imperial Garden and even the courtyard of Shou'an Hall, he only found half of the earthworms.
The night before the Emperor and Empress's wedding.
Emperor Rongcheng, head bowed, came to find Jiang Xian with the earthworms he had half-dug up.
"I……"
Emperor Rongcheng lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Time was too tight, and this is all I could find."
"However, Dexi said that earthworms can reproduce. If you cut them in half, they will quickly grow back the other half. Then, these fifty earthworms will become one hundred."
"However, it will take time."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Xianhao with pleading eyes.
"Okay, marry me first, and I'll make it up to you after we're married, okay?"
At this moment, Emperor Rongcheng looked extremely haggard, with red-rimmed eyes and a pleading look in his eyes.
This made Jiang Xianhao feel even more heartbroken.
She couldn't help but sigh.
I thought to myself, "What an idiot."
With so many people around him, finding a hundred earthworms would be a simple matter.
With just a word from him, someone would naturally bring him earthworms.
But this guy actually went to look for it himself, and ended up in such a mess.
Jiang Xianhao lowered her eyes, looking at Emperor Rongcheng's fingers covered in bloodstains, and asked him softly.
Does it hurt?
Shen Wanshan immediately shook his head.
He was afraid of scaring Jiang Xianhao, so he flinched and tried to hide his fingers, but because he was still holding an earthworm, he couldn't move his hand at all, so he simply took a step back.
"Don't look, it's dirty."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao smiled slightly and then lovingly placed her hand on Shen Wanshan's face.
Her Shen Wanshan, her beloved Shen Wanshan.
He was such a sincere and simple person.
How could she not be willing to marry him?
The next day, the two held a grand wedding ceremony for the emperor and empress.
That night, Emperor Rongcheng acted like a child.
Excitement, joy, tenderness, helplessness, delight, heartache, and finally, loss of control.
After that, their lives were as sweet as honey.
Until Jiang Xianhao found out she was pregnant.
Jiang Xianhao happily told Emperor Rongcheng the news.
However, Emperor Rongcheng was not as happy as she had imagined.
After that, Jiang Xian didn't see Emperor Rongcheng for a long time, no one knew from which day.
When she went to see him, all she got was the news that he was busy with official duties.
Jiang Xianhao, feeling utterly bored, began to observe the earthworms.
More than a month has passed, and these earthworms have indeed grown their other half.
Previously, Emperor Rongcheng would personally feed these earthworms every time he came.
However, several days passed and Emperor Rongcheng still hadn't come, and Jiang Xian was afraid that the earthworms would starve to death.
Following Emperor Rongcheng's example, he also fed them some food.
But I don't know if she overfed it, or for some other reason.
The earthworms all died the next day.
Jiang Xianhao turned pale with fright upon hearing the news and immediately went to find Emperor Rongcheng, but she almost fell because she was running too fast.
Although she didn't fall and hurt the baby in her womb, she was still frightened because she was so young, and she started bleeding, so she needed to rest in bed.
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Rongcheng immediately rushed over, slapped himself twice, and told Jiang Xian well.
"They're just a few earthworms. If they die, they die. I can just go catch more."
If this hurts you, hurts our child, what should we do?
Jiang Xianhao felt a little disappointed when she heard this.
However, seeing Emperor Rongcheng's flushed face, she still raised her head and tenderly stroked his face.
Ask him softly.
Does it hurt?
Emperor Rongcheng shook his head.
Jiang Xianhao murmured, "But it hurts my heart."
After that, their lives seemed to return to normal.
However, Jiang Xianhao vaguely felt that Emperor Rongcheng seemed different from before.

Meanwhile, on the mountain...
Because of the slippery conditions caused by the rain, Ye Wenxi and the others had great difficulty walking.
He had lost count of how many times he had fallen and how many times he had been rescued. Finally, near the mountaintop, he found the last medicinal herb.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly steadied himself, which was swaying slightly.
The person next to him quickly helped him up.
He waved his hand.
"It's nothing."
He said, “You are faster than me, so you should take these herbs back first.”
The guard hesitated.
Ye Wenxi immediately rebuked:
"What are you hesitating for? Hurry back! If you're late and delay our master's life, you'll be held accountable."
The guards nodded, leaving two to support Ye Wenxi while the rest quickly returned with the herbs.
Ye Wenxi felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and immediately sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Meanwhile, in the village...
The entire village was surrounded by refugees.
