Outside is a world covered in silver. White snowflakes are falling, decorating the earth like a dream.
But in Xiyan Palace, it was warm as spring.
Throughout the hall, there are burning charcoal fires in every corner, emitting a comfortable warmth.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace knows how much His Highness values Concubine Su.
Every detail was carefully taken care of, just to make Concubine Su feel the meticulous care.
Su Jingyao sat elegantly on the couch. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, her hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, her skin as white as snow, and her face beautiful.
On the other side of the couch, Li Jing was taking her pulse with a focused expression.
His fingers were long and strong, gently resting on Su Jingyao's wrist through the handkerchief.
"Concubine, the royal heir in your womb is very healthy. You are already eight months pregnant. According to my pulse, the heir should be born in about five weeks."
Su Jingyao smiled sweetly, looking beautiful and charming.
She gently stroked her belly with her hand, feeling the little life connected to her blood in her belly.
The feeling was wonderful, and her heart was filled with warmth and anticipation.
There is also a maternal glow in her eyes, an indescribable tenderness and kindness.
Li Jing rarely saw Su Jingyao so gentle.
In his impression, she has always been the proud eldest lady, indifferent and aloof, looking down on everyone, always strategizing and controlling everything.
When they first met, he was obviously a few years older than her, but he always felt safe with her.
She is extremely intelligent. Whether she is handling her own business or seizing other people's markets, she performs exceptionally well, making suggestions and handling things with ease.
At that time, Li Jing regarded her as the goddess who saved him, who was unattainable. Her wisdom and talent often amazed him.
If such a woman were a man, she would definitely be able to hold a high position and achieve great things.
Su Jingyao enjoyed the pregnancy process very much, even though she experienced the discomfort of morning sickness, general fatigue, and even leg cramps from time to time at night.
But none of this could hide the happiness and joy in her heart.
In modern times, she is an orphan and has never felt the love of her parents.
After coming to ancient times, she felt the love of her mother and father, as well as the love of her brother for fifteen years, but none of them were as strong as the feeling this child brought her.
She wanted to pamper the child and give him endless love and care.
Su Jingyao lowered her head and looked at her bulging belly, a happy smile on her face.
Maybe she had been in a daze for too long, and suddenly she felt Li Jing's gaze on her.
Su Jingyao then raised her head, and the smile on her face instantly faded, replaced by a hint of indifference.
She leaned back and asked casually, "What's going on with Tang Fengyi's pregnancy?"
Li Jing came back to his senses as if waking from a dream, with a hint of trance in his eyes.
"Tang Fengyi's pregnancy has been under the care of Imperial Physician Hu, but he has only been there for a month. Now, every day in the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Hu appears worried, with a furrowed brow and a look of heavy worry."
"Oh? Tang Fengyi's pregnancy is not going well?"
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of teasing.
"Yes, the situation with Tang Fengyi's pregnancy is not optimistic. The Empress has ordered Imperial Physician Hu to use whatever means necessary to preserve the heir. However, some of the methods Imperial Physician Hu is currently using are extremely harmful to the mother's body."
Li Jing nodded slightly, then continued, "My humble opinion is that the Queen wants Doctor Hu to keep the fetus alive until the seventh month, so that she can kill the mother and take the child."
Li Jing's voice sounded a little solemn, and his brows furrowed even tighter. Except for a few people in power in the palace, no one's life is in their own hands.
He did not sympathize with Tang Fengyi, he just felt that fate was a cruel thing and life and death were determined by fate.
Su Jingyao lowered her eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
It seems that the queen really values the prince's child.
Yes, how could these people in power care about a person of low status like Tang Fengyi?
In their eyes, being able to give birth to an heir to the throne is a woman's blessing.
sad.
"Okay, I understand. Please leave."
After Li Jing respectfully retreated, Su Jingyao slowly stood up and walked towards the window at a leisurely pace.
She stood quietly by the window, looking intently at the snow falling outside.
The white snowflakes fell from the sky as lightly as feathers, fluttering down like countless lively elves dancing in the air.
The snowflakes are so pure, flawless and crystal clear that they seem to be able to hide all the sin and darkness in the palace.
They fall silently, bringing a moment of tranquility and beauty to the world.
But Ling Yue, you are blocking my way, and I can only find a way to move you away from the path I want to take.
And Tang Fengyi was the weapon being used and sharpened.
If Tang Fengyi knew that only one of her and her child could survive, what would she choose?
"Master, An Liangdi is outside asking to see you."
At this time, Miaoyun came over and reported quietly.
She was just thinking about how to meet this tool person, but she didn't expect that she would come to her door herself.
Was he here to ask her how to regain her favor again?
An Jinyan is sometimes very smart, and sometimes she is cute and silly.
"Let her in."
Su Jingyao spoke in a faint voice, and then sat back on the couch.
After a while, An Jinyan walked in.
She took off her heavy cloak and said, "I pay my respects to my sister, the concubine." An Jinyan bowed slightly and said respectfully.
