The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Zhu Dingyuan is indeed in a dilemma now.

Having just defeated the Gao family, the Nangong family finally managed to suppress the enemy. Now is the time to try and become famous in one battle. Then it’s time to return to Tianzhao.

With her military achievements and the support of civil and military officials, the Empress Dowager also has a baby in her belly.

It was a sudden turn of events and a direct rise.

As for Zhu Dingyuan, when the empress gave birth to a legitimate son, I'm afraid he would not be able to decide on the position of crown prince. As a subject, he could not ride on the head of the king.

And it is even more impossible for him to let go of Prince Duanren.

Prince Duan Ze had laid the groundwork for her so far, so Zhaoyue continued obediently.

She reached out and fed the litchi into Zhu Dingyuan's mouth.

"Yue'er doesn't understand these, but Yue'er does have some girlish thoughts that she would like to share with Your Majesty."

Zhu Dingyuan bit the lychee, and his expression became better: "Yue'er, just say whatever you want."

"Everyone knows that the Black Cavalry is brave, but the Black Cavalry was established when the late emperor was alive. Who led the army at that time? Was it General Nangong?"

Zhu Dingyuan said in a deep voice: "No, at that time...it was General Lan, the father of Concubine Fang."

"General Lan's prestige remains undiminished. I have heard my father praise him. He was a fierce general who fought alongside the late emperor. Unfortunately, he was injured. So, Your Majesty, how many members of the Black Cavalry know General Lan?"

Zhu Dingyuan was stunned: "I know most of them, and some of them are old subordinates of Lan Lao."

His dark eyes flashed: "Yue'er said that we should let General Lan lead the troops, but he is old after all, I am afraid..."

Zhao Yue was speechless, but her smile remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, no matter how prestigious the Nangong family is, it is not as prestigious as General Lan. He is a hero who fought against the late emperor. You want a younger one. Your Majesty, do you remember the day when Concubine Fang saved Yue'er at the birthday party?"

"The scene was a mess. All the women were panicking. Concubine Ling even fell to the ground. But Concubine Fang was decisive, brave, calm and composed, just as good as a man."

"A tiger father will have a dog daughter. General Nalan's son is definitely not an ordinary person. He is like Hai Dongqing, who met your Majesty, a mentor, and devoted himself to Tianzao."

The light in Zhu Dingyuan's eyes shone brighter and brighter. He held Zhaoyue's arm and said, "I... I never thought..."

He was ecstatic in his heart, and the anxiety suppressed by the pills also trembled.

Zhu Dingyuan took several deep breaths before suppressing his emotions: "Yue'er, I have you, and it is a blessing for the country that I have you!"

What a demon concubine, it's sheer nonsense.

Those short-sighted mediocre people only saw her charming appearance, but didn't know that she had a kind heart.

Zhao Yue smiled shyly: "These are just my ignorant opinions. The rest is naturally planned by your majesty. If your majesty had not allowed me to say this, Yue Er would not have been able to give such advice."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her face with infatuated eyes, leaned over to kiss her, but Zhaoyue held his shoulder: "Your Majesty...I haven't washed yet..."

"I don't mind!"

He carried her towards the bed: "My Yue'er, you are beautiful no matter what."

"No." Zhao Yue insisted: "I have to go wash up, Your Majesty, please wait, okay."

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes were filled with passion, and he reluctantly said, "I will go with you."

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Zhao Yue blushing and looking angry, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll obey you. I'll go to the side hall to wash up. Is that okay?"

Zhaoyue then snorted and was helped back by Taoxi.

Zhu Dingyuan poked his tongue against her cheek, and only looked away when he could no longer see her back. He looked so happy: "Huang Quan, prepare for the bath."

Zhao Yue went behind the screen and asked quietly, "Is Xiao Quanzi back?"

"No, what's wrong, my lady?" Taoxi took off the pearl hairpin for her.

Her clothes were torn off and her beautiful body sank into the water. There was some sadness in Zhaoyue's eyes. She touched the petals on the water with her fingers and her eyes were wet.

Things went smoothly, and as Zhu Dingyuan expected, he developed health problems, which would only get worse.

She would never let him be cured.

But she didn't want to be under Zhu Dingyuan like in her previous life. Everything had changed. Was this the only thing that could not be changed?

Hua Ni is extremely skilled in controlling men. She can lead him to become addicted to sensual pleasures, which can cause physical damage and mental disorder. Only then will Zhu Dingyuan fall.

But the news that she had difficulty getting pregnant had already been spread, so it was inevitable that Zhu Dingyuan would do something stupid and make her sleep with him every night just to make her give birth to a royal heir.

Taoxi: "Master, what's wrong with you? Is the water too cold?"

Zhaoyue calmed down, stood up from the barrel, and put on a soft gauze robe.

There is only one way.

She has to get pregnant before she can sit on the stage and watch this good show.

But He Quan is a eunuch.

Zhaoyue instructed Taoxi: "Light the incense later. Place the warm stone in the back, but change the incense."

"Replace it with what?"

"Soul-enchanting incense."

She had to change this matter no matter what. She absolutely did not want to have any physical contact with Zhu Dingyuan again. It was really disgusting.

Zhao Yue stroked her hair and applied a light lip balm on her lips: "Go and get the Imperial Doctor Su."

Although Taoxi didn't understand, she nodded obediently: "Yes."

-

Zhu Dingyuan had finished washing up and was wearing the pajamas that Zhaoyue had given him. He had just taken a pill, and although the corners of his eyes were blue, his complexion was still okay.

He watched Zhaoyue approaching him, her body swaying, and his mouth became increasingly dry. He wanted to hug her eagerly. To him, continuing the family line was more like a mission, and he would sleep with all the women in the harem.

The only one who can truly make him happy is Yue'er.

So when Zhaoyue leaned in his arms, his breathing became rapid and his gaze fell on her smooth and fair skin. However, he was afraid of hurting her, so his palm slid across her back.

"Your Majesty...I am not yet..."

"I have read the medical records of the Imperial Hospital. The poison in Yue'er's body has been cured. She was just frightened a few days ago."

"I should ask Mrs. Su..."

Zhu Dingyuan couldn't help it any longer. He looked at her rosy lips and felt the light fragrance was pleasant. He just wanted to hug her... wanted to...

He kissed the back of her hand and his thin lips moved towards her white neck.

However, when he was about to touch it, Zhu Dingyuan closed his eyes and fainted.

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Yue shook him and called out again.

Zhu Dingyuan didn't move.

Zhaoyue kicked him again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was completely unconscious.

She took the detoxification pills.

Afraid that the love potion would not work, he gave twice the amount, and this way Zhu Dingyuan was guaranteed to sleep till dawn.

The window did not move, but the beaded curtain swayed gently with a few rustling sounds.

"Who?" She turned her head.

An extraordinary cold face appeared, and the mole on his nose looked even more enchanting because of his smile. He Quan's eyes moved, and his gaze fell from the bed to Zhao Yue.

"My lady, are you...avoiding the emperor's sleep and killing him?"
