When the imperial physician stood outside the palace, his face trembling with fear, Lu Xingjian released Su Wanwan, sat down with a normal expression, and his lips still glistening with moisture.
Su Wanwan felt somewhat uncomfortable and sat down beside him with an embarrassed expression.
The imperial physician didn't even dare to raise his head: "Your Majesty, Miss Yanruo shows slight signs of heatstroke. She should be given some medicine and carefully treated."
He paused, his voice tinged with fear:
"As for Miss Ma, her pulse is smooth and flowing, like pearls rolling on a jade plate, indicating a slippery pulse, suggesting she is more than a month pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan froze, her blood instantly freezing.
My heart skipped a beat for a moment.
really.
He actually found another woman to have his child.
Lu Xingjian raised an eyebrow, surprised by the imperial physician's news.
He then instinctively looked at Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan noticed his gaze, secretly pinched herself, tried to appear normal, and forced a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your heir."
Lu Xingjian's face immediately darkened.
When the imperial physician heard Su Wanwan congratulate the Emperor, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he echoed her sentiments:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your imperial heir!"
The Emperor has no children yet, which is a great joy, and there should be a reward to be bestowed upon him.
However.
Lu Xingjian was tense, showing no sign of joy, and waved for the imperial physician to leave.
The movement was extremely impatient.
He didn't say much, just frowned and stared blankly for a while.
After a long pause, he gave a cool laugh and said casually:
"Is this why you came back today?"
Su Wanwan clenched her hands, feeling an indescribable sense of suffocation.
It seems like she's plotting against him.
It's understandable; she came back to remind him to take Maggie's pulse, and coincidentally, Maggie was diagnosed as pregnant.
By any measure, it seems she deliberately came back to expose this matter.
Su Wanwan tried to keep her tone calm: "It wasn't that I let Miss Ma stay overnight."
Lu Xingjian's forehead veins throbbed, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"Do you really have to do it this way?"
That's as if she's the one who got Maggie pregnant.
The previous ambiguity and intimacy between the two had vanished.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and unable to produce offspring for the royal family. Naturally, I hope that other women can bear children for Your Majesty."
"This is a joyous occasion."
Su Wanwan maintained the magnanimity of an empress and did not want to cause trouble.
There are plenty of people in the palace waiting to cause trouble.
She doesn't need to take the lead.
Lu Xingjian looked at her expressionlessly, his tone sarcastic:
"I am truly blessed to have such a virtuous wife."
This sarcastic tone made Su Wanwan very uncomfortable.
She stood up, adopting a businesslike attitude:
"Since Miss Ma is pregnant with the Emperor's child, she should not be denied the treatment and rank she deserves. Your Majesty should make the appropriate arrangements."
"Your Majesty, I will go and tell Renshou Palace and Cikang Palace the good news."
Lu Xingjian suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled hard, causing her to lose her balance and stumble and fall on him.
"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect!"
Su Wanwan's face turned cold as she struggled to stand up.
She didn't want to touch a man who was tainted.
Thinking about that kiss now makes me feel nauseous.
“Since you’re going to play the role of a virtuous wife, you might as well go all the way. Serving your husband is also your duty.”
Lu Xingjian's expression was very unpleasant. He held her waist tightly with his hands and his voice was reproachful.
Serve my ass!
"Go find your Maggie!"
She simply stopped pretending and said angrily.
Looking at her reluctant expression and her slowly reddening eyes, Lu Xingjian's anger dissipated somewhat.
"Tonight, I have summoned Consort Su to my bedchamber."
Like teasing a disobedient kitten, he wrapped his arms around her waist, a hint of amusement in his eyes, letting her do as she pleased.
Let's see how much trouble she can cause.
Su Wanwan's struggles were of no use whatsoever; she was exhausted and panting, her hair disheveled.
Their posture became increasingly indecent... and the two seemed to be getting closer.
That bastard!
He always takes advantage of her!
Su Wanwan sensed his reaction and became furious.
I really wanted to bite him, but I didn't know where to start.
"What...are you doing?"
A delicate, incredulous female voice came from the doorway.
Lu Xingjian and Su Wanwan looked over and saw Ma Ji standing there looking at them with red eyes.
Meng Yue stood behind, looking embarrassed, his hand still outstretched in mid-air.
Su Wanwan felt a little embarrassed and looked down at Lu Xingjian, who was pinned down in the chair by her.
The man had a lazy and relaxed demeanor, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
By any measure, they all seem to be doing bad things.
And she was that impatient, wanton "slut" who wanted to ride on top of men and do whatever she wanted.
She was caught in front of her love rival and the eunuch.
Doesn't she have any shame?
How can she continue to be a model of virtue for the nation?
Su Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears, which rolled down her cheeks.
Lu Xingjian's eyes flickered.
I never expected her to be so thin-skinned.
He reached out to wipe away the tears that were dripping from her cheeks, but she turned her face away.
Lu Xingjian's gaze passed through Su Wanwan and landed on Ma Ji at the entrance of the main hall, his expression gradually turning cold.
Maggie staggered closer, her face pale, barely managing to hold back her tears.
When she saw Lu Xingjian looking over, she looked as aggrieved as if she was about to die: "Your Majesty..."
Lu Xingjian stood up abruptly, picked up Su Wanwan from his arms, and carried her in a reproachful tone:
"The Empress is really anxious; she can't even wait to go back to her room."
