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

The snow finally melted, and the sun shone down, illuminating everything with its sparkling beauty, yet it seemed like a rootless, elusive shadow floating in the air.

Zhaoyue stretched out her hand to block the sunlight, allowing the bright yellow halo to leak out from between her fingers. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes after a long time.

"Yue'er, come here."

The person standing behind her was wearing an ink-black dragon robe, which quickly engulfed her like a haze and put his arms around her waist.

"I peeled it for you. I know Yue'er likes to eat it." Zhu Dingyuan held her on his lap and coaxed her.

The lychees between his fingers were sweet and fragrant, and the juice dripped from his pale and gray skin, revealing a strange decadence.

Lizhi pressed against Zhaoyue's red lips. There was no emotion in her eyes, she just looked at him.

Zhu Dingyuan frowned, and spoke in a panic: "I didn't send it in a hurry. These are lychees from Xuanzhou. Although they don't taste as good as Feizixiao, they are still acceptable."

He started to play the role of the gentle Crown Prince again, little knowing how disgusting and horrible he looked with his gloomy face.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yue still didn't eat.

Two days later, he took her with him wherever he went, controlling her so that she couldn't leave even a step.

"Yue'er doesn't like being locked up in Chuntang Palace. I have fulfilled your wish. Why don't you eat?" There was sadness but also a sinister oppression in Zhu Dingyuan's eyes.

He closed his palms, and the lychees were crushed into sticky and wet pieces in his palms.

Zhu Dingyuan pinched her chin and bent down to look at her. His black pupils were dark, without a trace of light.

But the warm winter sun was shining on his back.

He was like an isolated, rotten dead tree, emitting an unpleasant smell.

"Yue'er is pregnant, so she needs to eat more." He caressed her belly tenderly again: "It must be Litchi's fault. I'll find someone else for you, okay?"

Zhaoyue hated his smell and everything about him. She turned her head away, closed her eyes, and her fingers gradually clenched.

He Quan.

There seemed to be the sound of swords and knives fighting in her ears, which came so illusory that it made her breathe rapidly. A pair of cool yet warm hands held her, and he coaxed her in a low and hoarse voice: Your Majesty... Your servant is here.

Zhu Dingyuan's smile turned cold, and the hand that was pinching her waist seemed to break her. Zhaoyue opened her eyes as if she was drowning.

It was still the same gloomy face.

The hatred in her eyes could not be suppressed: "Zhu Dingyuan, what on earth are you going to do!"

"Yue'er."

He held her wrist and relaxed her fingers: "Don't hurt yourself."

Huang Quan came in from outside, his face covered in sweat. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! The Queen is about to give birth! Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you!"

The queen is about to give birth.

Zhaoyue looked at Zhu Dingyuan's face. He remained calm and even had a playful smile on his face.

Her heart sank. "The queen's pregnancy is not yet full-term. She is very careful about her body. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are watching over her. How could she suddenly give birth prematurely?"

Zhu Dingyuan chuckled a few times and entwined his fingers around her black hair: "Yue'er, what do you think?"

There was a strange smugness in his eyes, and his purple lips slightly parted: "Because I told her... to depose the queen."

Zhao Yue's pupils trembled: "She is pregnant with your dragon heir! If you tell her now, it will undoubtedly cost her life!"

Even though the queen has committed many evil things, her children are innocent.

"You are the child's father, Zhu Dingyuan!"

Zhaoyue shed tears uncontrollably. She struggled to get out of his arms, but he held her tightly.

"But she framed you! Yue'er, I will never acknowledge the child in her belly. Only you can sit beside me and become the queen of Tianzhao!"

His voice was hard and cold: "Nangong Ling is dead, and her father Nangong Chun dared to come back from the border! We must take back the Black Cavalry! The Black Cavalry already belongs to me!"

Zhu Dingyuan pinched Zhaoyue's face and said, "Tonight, the Black Cavalry will arrive at Taihe Gate. I will kill Zhu Jing, Yue'er, I want you to see it with your own eyes! I am the emperor worthy of you, and I am the master of the world!"

"Zhu Dingyuan, you lunatic!"

"Zhu Jing wants to rebel! I only want my throne!" Zhu Dingyuan looked at her, his eyes were bloodshot, the blue veins on his brows were throbbing, and he looked gloomy and terrifying.

Zhao Yue bit his wrist, but he didn't resist at all, letting the blood flow out. Instead, he laughed happily and seductively: "Yue'er, you have been bewitched by them and mixed up in these messes..."

He gently stroked her back: "But it doesn't matter... I will take you back to the right path."

Everything is different from the previous life!

Zhu Dingyuan discovered it this time, but she didn’t even know when she discovered it!

He plucked out many people and killed many people in the palace, but he was the emperor and he had his own imperial guards. When the Gao family fell, he recovered the Gao family's military power, and the Black Cavalry immediately arrived at the imperial city.

Zhaoyue pushed his hand away. The taste of blood in her mouth made her feel like vomiting.

He wanted to use this opportunity to wipe out all forces. He wanted to kill Zhu Jing and tell others the consequences of rebellion. There would be no more blood relatives and nobles in the future. Only he, Zhu Dingyuan, would be the real master of the world.

She knew nothing about the situation outside, she seemed to be still a canary trapped in the harem. Zhaoyue's tears were wiped away by Zhu Dingyuan, and he wanted to hug her with heartache.

"Don't touch me!" Zhao Yue wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down.

It is indeed ahead of schedule, but He Quan succeeded in the previous life, didn’t he?

She must believe him.

Zhaoyue's trembling body gradually recovered, the tears in her eyes disappeared, and she became charming and seductive again, as noble as a bloody crabapple.

She smiled at Zhu Dingyuan and looked at him disdainfully.

Zhu Dingyuan's smile at her was filled with surprise, he liked her like this very much.

"I want Yue'er to stand by your side."

"Yes." He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but he didn't dare to move forward in front of her cold eyes.

"Then let me watch you win the throne."

Zhao Yue's smile made him infatuated.

She stretched out her hand and Zhu Dingyuan immediately held hers.

He didn't see her eyes, as she was staring at the figure on the palace wall.

Wei Ruoming gave her his usual ruffian smile, but there was blood on his face, and then he disappeared very quickly.

Zhu Dingyuan straightened Zhaoyue's hairpin, and his gloomy eyes softened: "Come here, change clothes for my queen."

He closed his eyes greedily, smelling Zhaoyue's faint fragrance, and opened them again, feeling the ambition of an emperor.

"Phoenix Crown, I will put it on you myself!"
