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

Something is wrong.

Three days had passed since the day Zhu Dingyuan said that and left.

Zhaoyue looked at the heavy snow outside. The entire Chuntang Palace was surrounded.

Zhu Dingyuan imprisoned her.

Tao Xi came in and shook her head at her: "My lady, you can't go out. No one can get close to Chuntang Palace."

No one else, not even Wei Ruoming, could come in.

Zhaoyue sat on the bed and thought of Zhu Dingyuan's words: Yue'er, don't run around until the phoenix crown is ready. I will protect you.

How long will the Phoenix Coronet last?

She frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He Quan had already left the palace. Is the situation over there okay?

Zhu Dingyuan had long stopped hiding the fact that he was completely crazy now, but the reason why she felt uneasy was that Zhu Dingyuan was not that stupid.

He did fall in love with her, but was he the kind of person who would be blinded by love?

Did he discover something?

Zhao Yue took a deep breath: "Taoxi, Concubine Fang can't see me either?"

Tao Xi shook her head: "My lady, the atmosphere is not right."

Even someone as slow-witted as her could sense it.

Zhu Dingyuan would only come in the evening.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Dingyuan swallowed the medicine, but the pain in his heart did not subside at all. He tried to pull up the maid who was lying on the ground, but found that he could not.

"Where is the miracle doctor, Huang Quan! Huang Quan! Find the miracle doctor!" He kicked the maid away, his anxious eyes bloodshot.

Huang Quan knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the miracle doctor was here yesterday!"

"Why am I coughing up blood again?" Zhu Dingyuan said in panic, "Isn't I already well?"

He looked at the poor maid on the ground and stepped on her fingers: "Are you laughing at me? I cough cough cough... It's not impossible... cough cough cough..."

However, the maid just cried pitifully.

Zhu Dingyuan drew out his sword and stabbed fiercely: "Such a noise!"

Huang Quan knocked his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty! I will go and ask for the doctor!"

"Cough, cough, cough." The blood he coughed out was black and gave off a foul odor.

"I can't help it. I can't die. I still have to stay with Yue'er." Zhu Dingyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"No matter how many people the miracle doctor wants, give them to him!"

His dark pupils looked at the blood on the ground: "Let the imperial guards guard the imperial city, and... pass on my secret order to kill Lan Yun!"

Zhu Dingyuan sat on the couch, his eyelids dazed. He couldn't scare Yue'er with this look, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Huang Quan, is my phoenix crown ready?"

"Your Majesty, tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine." Huang Quan was crawling on the ground, there was a pool of blood on his head, which was about to flow to his forehead.

"tomorrow?"

Zhu Dingyuan said slowly: "But the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that tomorrow will be a very bad day."

Since the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the queen has had a high fever. She lay on the bed, talking nonsense.

Noble Lady Rui and Concubine Qi took care of her, and both of them had children, so Noble Lady Fang and Concubine Hua had to take over.

Only until now did the Queen's recurring high fever subside.

She opened her eyes and saw a charming face. She immediately screamed, "Zhao Yue! Why aren't you dead yet?"

Huapin was almost thrown to the ground by her. She covered her chest and patted her chest, "I'm so scared. A pregnant woman who is almost eight months pregnant has so much strength!"

Concubine Fang glanced at her and said, "I'll serve the Queen, you can go down."

After the Queen drank the medicine and fell asleep again, Concubine Fang sat down tiredly and drank some tea.

Hua Ni said to her: "Did you see the Queen's belly? It's ridiculously big, it looks like it's about to burst."

"Are you okay? Give me a shoulder massage."

"Your Majesty, have you seen the Imperial Concubine?" Hua Ni stood up obediently, massaged her shoulders, and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty will not let me in."

"Your Majesty, don't come to my place either." Hua Ni's eyes were solemn: "Something is wrong."

Concubine Fang frowned: "Didn't you gain favor because of the Imperial Concubine? Now that she's out, you're worried about her?"

Hua Ni blinked and approached her: "My Lady, I belong to the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Fang was stunned: "No wonder you are so unreserved, you have learned Zhaoyue almost exactly!"

She looked at the flower ornament on Hua Ni's forehead, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes again: "The Queen's belly."

Hua Ni sat down next to her, with a half-smile on her face: "How will she keep it?"

"What do you mean?" Concubine Fang looked at her, but Hua Ni just drank her tea, smiled and said nothing.

Chun Tang Palace

"My lady, His Majesty is here." Taoxi pushed open the door and spoke to Zhaoyue.

She was sitting on a stool, her long black hair hanging down her back, tied up with red silk. She wore a long plain hairpin on her head. The bronze mirror in front of her reflected her stunning face, which seemed softer than before, perhaps because she was pregnant.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her back and his heart softened: "Yue'er."

He straightened his clothes and watched Zhaoyue walk up to him and hold his hand. He felt much more relaxed.

There was joy and sadness in Zhao Yue's slightly raised fox eyes: "Your Majesty, why are you locking up Yue Er?"

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes darkened a little, he hugged her and sat on the couch: "I am here to protect you."

"What kind of danger could there be in the palace? They are all your Majesty's people."

Zhao Yue raised her eyes and met his disdainful gaze. Everything was calm yet something was suppressed. There was love and his guilt, but what else was there?

Her hand was held by Zhu Dingyuan. His palms used to be hot, but now they were as cold as ice.

Zhao Yue felt uneasy again, and she pretended to be lost and ignorant and said, "I want to see Sister Noble Concubine Fang, and I also want to get some fresh air. I have been in the cold palace for a long time, and I really hate this kind of imprisoned life."

Zhu Dingyuan's fingers clenched even tighter, his eyes showing heartache, but he still said to her: "Yue'er, please bear with it. When everything is over, I will let them leave."

Everything, everything ends with what?

Zhao Yue's body trembled a little: "Your Majesty, how long will this time you mentioned take?"

Zhu Dingyuan stroked her cheek and curled his lips: "When the Black Cavalry returns."

Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could laugh, she heard Zhu Dingyuan's next sentence.

"Yue'er, Lan Yun is dead."

Her whole body temperature suddenly turned cold as she looked at her reflection in his pupils.

"I'm willing to do anything for you.

"I want you to be my queen, and I want you to control me."

Zhu Dingyuan leaned over and put his cold lips on her forehead: "But Yue'er, my throne... must not be handed over to anyone else."

Zhao Yue's vision became blurred.

Lan Yun died, and the Black Cavalry's tiger talisman ended up in Zhu Dingyuan's hands. Did he discover all this?

Zhu Dingyuan pushed her hair behind her ears and looked at her in a daze, his eyes doting and dark: "Zhu Jing, he really gave me a surprise."
