I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Nian'er turned around and met Su Minglang's eyes. She saw that he was sitting in the middle and staring at her openly. She was so scared that she turned back.

"I was asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Su Minglang obviously didn't want to let her go so easily. "Or is it that the door isn't enough to wake you up? Do you want to stand outside the palace gate?"

Nian'er swallowed hard after hearing this. After spending the past few days with Su Minglang, she believed that he could really do what he said. "No, it's not necessary, Madam..."

Su Minglang didn't say anything else. Nian'er didn't dare to move at all this time. However, she couldn't stand standing stiffly for long and her body began to shake slightly again.

This time Su Minglang did not turn a blind eye. He coughed lightly, and the little guy at the door straightened up instantly, not daring to move.

After repeating this for a while, Nian'er could no longer hold on. Not only did her sore feet and numb legs, her waist also began to hurt due to the long-term stiffness.

She spoke carefully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Nian'er knows she is wrong, Your Majesty..."

"Wrong?" Su Minglang seemed very confused and asked: "What did you do wrong?"

"How come I don't know?"

"Nian'er shouldn't have fallen asleep while learning to write. My queen, I really know I was wrong!" Nian'er said anxiously without daring to look back.

"It's normal to feel sleepy in spring and autumn. If you feel sleepy, just wake up and continue studying. It's nothing. You don't have to take it too seriously." Su Minglang said magnanimously.

Nian'er was at a loss for a moment when she saw that she couldn't take in the smoke, but looking at her own trembling legs, she knew that she couldn't hold on until Su Minglang calmed down.

In the past, even when she was punished to stand, she would not stare at herself. She would just stand there for a while pretending to be serious and then lean against the wall doing nothing. Anyway, even if someone saw her, no one would go back to Su Minglang to tell her if she just acted coquettishly. Who knew that today she suddenly had the leisure and elegance to actually watch herself stand in the punishment with her own eyes!

Su Minglang watched her swaying more and more, and knew that the little girl couldn't hold on any longer. She wanted to teach her a lesson but didn't want to hurt her body, so she took the initiative to give her a way out: "Is Nian'er awake?"

Nian'er's dim eyes brightened up instantly after hearing this, and she hurriedly responded, "Awake, awake!"

"My lady, Nian'er feels that I will never feel sleepy if I go to study again now!"

Su Minglang pursed his lips and thought her worthless appearance was really an eyesore. After letting her in, he threw the figurine to Xiao Ye and left.

Compared with standing at the door and being tired and blown by the cold wind, being able to read by the stove is really a blessing in life. Nian'er even feels that these obscure things in front of her have become particularly familiar.

Seeing that she calmed down instantly, Xiao Ye sighed that Su Minglang still had a way. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat for Nian'er. With her temper, she would probably suffer a lot at the hands of Su Minglang.

The fire in the house heated up, but the cold wind outside blew the branches in front of the door, but they struggled silently because there were no leaves.

Ten days have passed according to the news we had received at the beginning, and Li Zhao has not returned yet. Su Minglang doesn't know what happened on the mountain, and she has no right to find Xiao Heng to ask for clarification. She can only wait helplessly, day after day.

After the winter, the queen's health became weaker and weaker. The Wen family sent people into the palace several times, but the medicine sent by the imperial physician every day was ineffective. Even Xiao Heng went to Kunning Palace several times under pressure from public opinion.

Su Minglang also visited the Queen from time to time and talked to her. Of course, she also told the Queen to keep it a secret from Xiao Heng. Although the Queen was a little confused, she still followed her wishes and did not mention it in front of the Emperor.

The Queen only thought that Su Minglang was afraid of the decline of her Wen family and that was why he did not want to reveal their friendship to Xiao Heng, so as not to implicate the Su family. This was human nature, and the Queen did not look down on Su Minglang because of this guess.

She had been by Xiao Heng's side for several years and had been married to him since he was still the crown prince. Over the years, the women around Xiao Heng, no matter they were the crown prince's concubines or the concubines in the palaces after he ascended the throne, had only two feelings towards her: fear and jealousy.

Only Su Minglang is so different. She is neither afraid of her status nor jealous of her existence.

Even the queen didn't know why Su Minglang took the initiative to get close to her. After all, she was almost a queen in name only.

But Su Minglang appeared so suddenly, giving him one surprising or astonishing experience after another.

And Su Minglang's attitude and feelings towards the Queen have long since changed from his original intentions.

The wind on the mountain was stronger than that in the imperial city. The top of the mountain was already slightly white. Li Zhao was riding on a tall horse and overlooking the man kneeling on the ground. The man kneeling on the ground was thin, as if a gust of wind could sweep him away. At this moment, he was shivering in the cold wind, and it was not known whether it was because of fear or because of the cold.

"That's it?" Li Zhao spoke calmly. The man in front of him lowered his head even lower. Even though he was afraid, he still nodded with a stiff neck. His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"Yes, yes, sir. I plead guilty!"

He spoke haltingly, his thin cheekbones protruding high on his sallow face, and his eyes were lifeless, as if they had been forever immersed in bottomless despair.

Li Zhao was silent for a long time. He just looked down at the man. Even the biting mountain wind could not blow through his fox fur coat. The man seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and took a few steps forward on his knees and grabbed Li Zhao's robe that was hanging on one side.

"Please, please, sir, please let me die!" The man burst into tears as he spoke. "I plead guilty. Please, please don't implicate my family, please!"

Li Zhao closed his eyes upon hearing this. He nodded slightly and said to his men beside him, "First, suppress the man. Remember, I want him to be alive and kicking. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The guard took the order and went up to catch the man. The man's thin arms seemed to be broken at the touch. No matter how much force the guard used, he didn't even frown.

Ten days have passed since the agreed time to return to Beijing. No matter how calm Li Zhao is, he can't help but feel anxious at this moment. However, everything in the mountains seems to have been arranged in advance, and very little is actually presented to him.

However, the imperial edicts from the court urging him to return have been issued one after another. Even if he were to gain the emperor's favor again, Xiao Heng's patience would have been exhausted.

"Sir!" The guard handed a letter to Li Zhao and said hesitantly, "A letter from the palace..."
