"But serious crimes can be forgiven, but minor crimes cannot be escaped."
After a moment of excitement, Xiao Jingyi regained some of his sanity.
"Everyone will be fined half a year's salary."
"This old minister thanks the Lord for His grace!"
They are all old and won't live for many more days.
Xiao Jingyi really couldn't bear to be too harsh.
However, because of his actions, these old ministers became more loyal to him.
In the days that followed, no matter how the empress dowager threatened or tempted them, they always sided with Xiao Jingyi.
Of course, this is all later.
…
Qixiang Palace.
Zhu Xianyue and Gao Zemei were lying on the same bed.
Gao Zhimei said, "My body is full of musk, so I want to sleep with you and cause you to have a miscarriage, humph."
She is quite direct.
But also stupid.
Zhu Xianyue could smell that Gao Zemei had already taken a bath before coming over.
It is to remove the smell of Chinese herbal medicine and musk on your body.
Moreover, Zhu Xianyue is a descendant of ancient Chinese medicine, and he can tell something is wrong just by smelling it.
Therefore, if Gao Zemei could really threaten her and the baby in her belly, Zhu Xianyue would not let her in.
The reason why Gao Zemei accompanied her was that she was afraid that the empress dowager would take action against her.
Now that Xiao Jingyi is gone, the only one in the entire palace who can compete with the empress dowager is Gao Zemei.
Gao Zemei was protecting her.
She really does what she says.
Zhu Xianyue felt a lot more at ease sleeping next to her.
It takes three days to travel from Putuo Mountain to the imperial palace, and considering Xiao Jingyi’s grand procession, it would probably take even longer to return.
During these few days, Zhu Xianyue had to protect herself and not let the old witch, the Queen Mother, hurt her and the baby in her belly.
But when the sky was just getting light and the sky in the east was turning pale, Xiao Jingyi rushed back exhausted and headed straight for Qixiang Palace.
Moreover, he only brought two imperial guards with him, and the rest were still following behind slowly.
Along the way, the three men killed more than ten horses.
Xiao Jingyi stayed awake all night, thinking only of his Concubine Li.
When Xiao Jingyi arrived at Qixiang Palace, the servants were stunned.
Are they hallucinating?
Is this the emperor?
The Emperor is back?!
Your Majesty...are you too impatient?
"Emperor..."
"Shhh."
Xiao Jingyi put his finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.
The servants immediately understood that Xiao Jingyi was afraid of waking up Concubine Li, so he wanted to sneak in to take a look.
The child in Concubine Li's belly is Xiao Jingyi's first child.
Whether it is a man or a woman, they are bound to become Xiao Jingyi's favorite.
As they got closer, Xiao Jingyi's heartbeat became faster and faster.
God knows, he dreams of having a child of his own, whether it is a boy or a girl.
Now, that small, fragile "thing" is staying safely in Yue'er's belly. How can he not be excited?
He didn't allow the servants to speak, so no one dared to say that... In fact, the imperial concubine Gao Zemei was also in there, sleeping with Zhu Xianyue.
However, Gao Zhemei and Zhu Xianyue are both Xiao Jingyi's women, and Xiao Jingyi has seen them everywhere, so... it shouldn't be a big deal...
Bullshit!
After a while, Gao Zemei was wrapped up with her quilt and thrown out of the main hall of Qixiang Palace.
"Ah!" Gao Zemei screamed.
This dog man!
But all she could say was: "Your Majesty, you hurt me~"
Xiao Jingyi's face was solemn. He said, "Noble Concubine, I know that you often take Five Elements Grass and wear musk-scented items. You knew Yue'er was pregnant, but you still entered her bedroom. What is your intention?!"
Xiao Jingyi has always treated Gao Zemei very well.
