Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Since that day when they returned to their residence in the capital, Gao Yang has not sent anyone to visit, and the empress dowager has not sent anyone to visit either.

In the past two months, the Empress Dowager has issued orders to search for many beautiful women, among whom there are those whose looks are no less beautiful than Zhu Baishao. All of them were sent to the harem, waiting for Gao Yang to visit them.

But when Gao Yang went around, he found that the women were like mice seeing a cat, and they all became docile, gentle and obedient when they saw him.

Having seen the most beautiful women in the world, I have no interest in seeing these anymore.

Gao Yang found it boring and had no intention of visiting them.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Gao Yang unconsciously reached out and touched his right wrist. The tooth marks there had disappeared, but the feeling of Zhu Baishao's bite was still faintly visible.

His eyes were deep, he lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then asked: "How is she doing recently?"

The "she" here naturally refers to Zhu Baishao.

The eunuch understood what was going on, so he answered respectfully, "Miss Zhu has locked herself up in her room and refuses to see anyone."

This is not the first time the emperor has asked this question, nor is this the first time this answer has appeared.

Gao Yang's eyelids drooped slightly, his light-colored thin lips were slightly pursed, the corners of his mouth were curved downward, and the contours of his entire face were filled with coldness.

Unconsciously stroking his right wrist, he chuckled from his throat, "Notify everyone that I will host a banquet for the top scholar tonight, remember to invite her as well."

On the second day after their love night, a secret guard brought information about Zhu Baishao.

He was a well-known lovesick man in Jiangnan, no wonder he cried so heartbreakingly in the attic that day.

……

"Miss!" Xier felt anxious as she looked at the young lady who covered herself with a quilt and refused to see anyone.

Thinking of what the person from the palace had just said, her eyes moved, "Miss, the palace just sent a message saying that you and Li Tanhua are invited to the palace for a banquet together."

Seeing that the person who was hiding herself under the quilt moved, Xier continued, "Miss, you haven't seen Li Tanhua for a while, right? If you don't get up, I will go and refuse the eunuch who delivered the message."

A jade-white face popped out from under the quilt. Zhu Baishao bit her lip and said, "No, I'll go..."

"There are now thousands of mountains and rivers between Li Lang and I, and we can no longer have a future... I am going to make a decision with him. From now on, he and the princess will live together, and I will find a temple, with green lamps and ancient Buddhas as my companions, and spend my whole life with morning bells and evening drums."

Those eyes, which used to be bright, were now filled with sadness, which made Xier feel sad.

"System, why don't I have any other adverse reactions to my pregnancy except for being sleepy and weak? Shouldn't I have nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, and chest tightness?"

Zhu Baishao was puzzled. She had been pregnant for more than two months and should have some early pregnancy symptoms.

System: [Oh, this is a system-provided benefit that reduces your pregnancy reaction. ]

"Can you stop the vomiting temporarily? It's time to give Gao Yang some strong medicine."

【OK. 】

As soon as the system agreed, Zhu Baishao felt a little uncomfortable and he touched his throat and retched.

Xier was very anxious and quickly supported her: "Miss! Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, my stomach just feels a little uncomfortable."

Xier was still a young girl, so naturally she wouldn't think too much about it and was easily brushed off.

As time passed, before evening, a carriage came to the palace to pick up Zhu Baishao.

Zhu Baishao had not originally planned to take Xier with her, but Xier cried and begged to go along, saying that it was because she was not with the young lady that she was in danger last time.

There was no other choice, Zhu Baishao could only take her with her.

[This is a loyal one.] The system sighed.

The carriage drove straight into the depths of the palace, and no one stopped or asked questions along the way.

Looking at the deep palace and high walls outside the car window, Zhu Baishao understood that Gao Yang wanted to see her.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Baishao was at the gate of a garden. He hesitated for a moment, tried to straighten his back, hid the sadness on his face, and replaced it with a decent smile. Just as he was about to walk into the garden, he was stopped by someone.

"Miss Zhu, His Majesty is in this attic."

Zhu Baishao's face turned pale, and then his eyes became somewhat panic-stricken. He looked around and thought that it was still evening and the sky was broad daylight, so there should be no danger, so he headed towards the attic next to him.

Gao Yang took all of this in and stepped back.

Xier followed closely beside him, and was stopped at the door.

"His Majesty has ordered that Miss Zhu go up alone."

The eunuch's shrill voice could actually emphasize the word "a person".

Zhu Baishao and Xier did not dare to contradict or disobey the emperor, so they had to part reluctantly.

When she climbed up the stairs to the attic, there was indeed only one person in the main hall on the second floor.

Gao Yang, dressed in a black and dark gold dragon robe, stood upright in front of the window overlooking the entire garden. His eyes, as dark as the abyss, stared down, and the curve of his mouth was extremely cold.

Zhu Baishao's heart was beating like a drum. Thinking about what happened that night, her face turned pale and then red, and then red and then pale. Finally, she mustered up the courage to step forward and salute, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

When Gao Yang came up, he heard her footsteps on the stairs, each one as if stepping on his heartbeat.

Gao Yang didn't look back, but said calmly: "Come here."

Zhu Baishao looked up at him in disbelief, then bit her rosy lips with her pearly teeth and took two steps forward.

"Come here, don't make me say it for the third time."

Zhu Baishao's nose felt sore and the corners of her eyes instantly turned red. She walked behind Gao Yang reluctantly.

Gao Yang then turned around and looked at her.

Zhu Baishao was dressed simply today, in a pale white gauze skirt with broken branches and flowers, with simple makeup, a white magnolia hairpin on her head, and her hair combed into a bun like an unmarried lady.

But the charm that unconsciously revealed between her eyebrows and eyes proved that she was different from other unmarried women.

Seeing Gao Yang looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, with a lingering sadness around her.

Looking at the exposed snow-white neck, Gao Yang's heart moved and he recalled the beauty of that night.

Then he asked, "I heard that you and the new top scholar, Li Shengjia, have verbally agreed to get engaged?"

Zhu Baishao suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes slightly opened, and she was very shocked.

I've heard before that the royal family has extremely strict control over the women in the family. Could it be that just because I'm the emperor's woman, the emperor won't let go of even the men who have had any involvement with her?

Gao Yang almost couldn't maintain the indifference on his face after reading what she meant.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a verbal engagement with Li Lang... and Li Tanhua, so..."

Gao Yang didn't want to listen to her anymore, so he stroked his right wrist and moved closer to her step by step. His voice was low and cold, full of oppression.

"Canceling the engagement."

"what?"

Zhu Baishao stepped back in a hurry, but Gao Yang grabbed her wrist and almost pulled her into his arms. He came close to her, sniffed the fragrance that appeared from time to time in her dream, and said again: "I said, you should break off your engagement with him and come to me."

"I have someone I love... Ugh..."

When Zhu Baishao faced him, her brows were furrowed, her face turned pale, she turned around and even retched. Gao Yang's handsome face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
