Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 2 2 Emperor Bai Yueguang (1)

The vermilion palace walls were cast with mottled shadows of red plum blossoms, and the glazed tiles were covered with white snow. In the tea room, the man in dragon robe and Yue Hua sat opposite each other, and the smell of ambergris wafted from the golden beast incense burner. Emperor Xuan took a sip of tea and looked up at Yue Hua who was brewing tea. His features were picturesque in the aroma of tea, as if nothing could get to his heart.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of kneeling and kowtowing, "Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth, please ask Master Lin to go to see her..." The voice was trembling unbelievably, but he still did not dare to disobey the Queen's wishes, because he could not afford to offend any of these three people, and if he failed to invite Master Lin, he would die if he returned. He came here to gamble that if Master Lin did not make things difficult for him, His Majesty would not take his life.

The eunuchs were still kowtowed outside the door. Hearing the thumping sound of their heads hitting the ground, Yue Hua looked towards the door and whispered with a hint of reluctance: "Your Majesty, you should go and take a look. After all, this is related to the heir to the throne and the country."

Emperor Xuan put down his teacup. His Yue Hua was good in every way except that she was too kind. He sneered, "Look, you are soft-hearted towards her again, but isn't this what she planned? Now that she has gotten what she wanted, she must be responsible for the decision she made." The man turned the teacup in his hand, his brows full of impatience as he said to the eunuch, "Go back and tell your master that she has been given the wealth and glory she asked for, so don't think of anything else!"

As he spoke, he looked up at Yue Hua, feeling depressed: "Look at what kind of person she is, greedy and insatiable..."

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am sorry to the Empress..." He was not allowed to continue because Yue Hua did not want to hear anything else but some words after applying the medicine. Before he could finish his words, Emperor Xuan hugged him and said, "Yue Hua, I will never do anything to hurt you again. Can you stay with me, just like when we were little?" His tone was too humble not like that of a king. The eunuch took this opportunity to slip away quietly and no one noticed.

Yue Hua wanted to raise her hand to touch Emperor Xuan's head but found that he was taller than her, so she withdrew her hand and comforted him in a low voice. On the other side, the eunuch returned to Luanming Palace and knelt outside the delivery room, listening to the screams of the woman inside and trembling.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Xuan saw Yue Hua was a little tired and ordered people to help him go to bed. He was halfway through taking off his outer robe when he heard a maid's cry for help from outside. It was too far away to hear clearly, but Yue Hua felt a sense of familiarity. He didn't care about Emperor Xuan, and hurriedly put on his cloak and walked out. Sure enough, he saw the queen's dowry maid, and the imperial guards were escorting her away.

"Stop!" Yue Hua hurried over. The imperial guards on both sides let go of the little maid. "Why are you here? How is the Queen?"

"Sir, please save my young lady. She had a hemorrhage after giving birth to the prince... I... I suspect someone is deliberately harming my young lady." The little maid lowered her voice and looked at Emperor Xuan who followed not far away. She was obviously suspicious of him. "The imperial doctors all said that the young lady is dying. I don't believe it. Sir, please go and see her."

"Hmph!" Emperor Xuan pushed away the little palace maid's hand that was holding Yue Hua's robe, "Does it seem like everything will be fine if he goes to your queen? She has always been scheming. She plotted against the throne and now she wants to plot against Yue Hua. Go back and tell her not to do that." After saying that, he kicked the little palace maid away.

"I'll go with you." Yue Hua ignored Emperor Xuan, took out the hand held by Emperor Xuan, and walked away. She really needed to see the next son of destiny, her sister's target, as soon as possible. However, her health was getting worse and worse, and she would fall into a sleeping state from time to time. She still needed to leave this world as soon as possible.

Emperor Xuan was very reluctant along the way. The little palace maid led the way in front. She knew in her heart that His Majesty was unwilling, but her own queen's life was hanging by a thread, and only if the young master went there would there be a glimmer of hope.

In Luanming Palace, the queen looked at her swaddled son but did not reach out to hug him. "Your Highness, your Highness is so cute. I have never seen such a lovely child."

"I heard that the wife of the left prime minister also gave birth to a daughter of the prime minister's mansion today?" The queen looked away. She knew that the emperor would not let her live. "I am already dead. I want to give my son a talisman."

"Her Majesty has asked the Emperor to grant a marriage between Your Highness and the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she is the daughter of the second wife after all, and our Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager..." The wet nurse naturally understood her thoughts, but still respected her own Prince.

"The Emperor has no affection for me at all. It doesn't matter if I'm his second wife. As long as she's his sister, it's enough! Go get me my secret medicine. I'm going to use my life to fight for the position of Crown Prince for my son!" The Queen stroked the child's face and reluctantly looked away. This is the last thing your mother can do for you. If she didn't die, His Majesty would definitely vent his anger on the family and the baby. Only if she died could the family be safe.

As they were talking, the palace servants outside were already singing: "The Emperor has arrived——"

After the queen took the pill, her vitality was visibly drained away rapidly, but her face was pale as if she was having a last breath of life.

Emperor Xuan and Yue Hua had already asked about the situation and learned that the queen had really run out of energy. Looking at the baby in the cradle, Emperor Xuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If nothing unexpected happened, this child was indeed his only child. The queen's personal maid came out from the inner room and bowed.

"The Queen has a few final words to say to you, Sir. Please follow me—"

Yue Hua stood up and wanted to follow the palace maid into the inner room, but Emperor Xuan grabbed his sleeve and said, "You should know that she will use you in the end." He looked at Yue Hua, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his dark eyes.

"So what?" Yue Hua stood up and walked into the inner room without even looking at him. Emperor Xuan watched the snow gradually fade away. It was like this again. It seemed that Lin Qing always had that hypocritical woman in his heart.

In the inner room, the queen leaned on the couch and smiled at Yue Hua, as if she was still in the boudoir, "Brother Lin, have you seen my child? Isn't he very cute?" Seeing Yue Hua didn't say anything, she asked again, "Brother Lin, are you blaming me? But I have no choice. Now it's time for me to leave, and you won't forgive me?"

Yue Hua looked at the woman in front of her. The heroine of the world was undoubtedly beautiful, and she was extremely intelligent. She had noticed it when Emperor Xuan had revealed his feelings for her. Knowing that she could not compete with the emperor, and they were still engaged at that time, she designed a plan to let Emperor Xuan take his wife, so that he would no longer have the possibility of being with Yue Hua. Now she left no way out and her plan was clear.

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, the alliance between the Lin and Li families will remain the same. I will ask for an imperial decree to make your son the crown prince and arrange a marriage for my sister." Looking at the girl in front of him, Yue Hua felt a little disappointed. She was born smart and strong-willed. No girl in our society lives for herself, and he was willing to give her all his love for his son.

The queen looked at the man in front of her, his white robe was as white as snow, his sleeves were as long as clouds, yet he was chillingly cold, as if no one could move him. That was good enough, what she couldn't get, even a noble like His Majesty couldn't get... Finally, as if her wish had come true, the queen slowly closed her eyes.

"The Queen is dead—"

At the Xiangfu, Yuebai looked at her little arms and legs and finally understood what her brother's smile meant. Ah! She didn't want to be a baby! Even though she was very emotional, in the eyes of the Xiangfu's wife, she was a baby with a very good spirit, babbling and very cute.

When the Prime Minister's wife got married, she never thought about having her own children. After all, the son of the previous lady had grown up. The Prime Minister also said that he would not take concubines. But she would not have her own children either, and she concentrated on taking care of the trivial matters in the backyard. However, the son found her alone and asked her if she wanted to have a daughter. Of course she was willing, so she took the pill. The Prime Minister was not interested in women and was busy with affairs. Sometimes she really didn't know what to do to pass the time in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion. Finally, she had her own child. A daughter was also good. A daughter was more caring and could spend more time with her in the inner courtyard.

After coming back to her senses, Madam Xiang started teasing Yue Bai with a rattle: "Master Xiang and Master, are you back? Have you given the young lady a name?"

The maid opened the curtain and walked in, bowing politely: "The Prime Minister has not returned yet, but he has sent a message. The young lady's name is Yuebai. The young master's servant returned home in advance and said that the young master was on the way, and even before he arrived, he sent a lot of toys for the young lady."

Madam Xiang smiled and said nothing more. She patted her daughter in the cradle. She saw that she was as adorable as a white jade ball when she was born, and she would probably have the same beauty as her brother in the future.
