Xuan Heng will indulge Lan Ning, Xuan Mo will mostly keep to the middle and say nothing, and Jing Ye is loyal to the monarch, so he will definitely carry out the orders given to him.

How could I not run into Furou if I often go around the palace?

The empress didn't want her daughters to kill each other from the bottom of her heart.

"You must keep a close eye on the situation in Qinzheng Hall." Bian Zhao naturally had the same idea. Even if something was going to happen to Fu Rou, it couldn't happen in front of her daughter.

His daughter is going to be the empress of Wanjing in the future, and she must not be labeled a murderer.

The eunuch knew the nobleman's temper, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Bian Zhao couldn't feel at ease because his daughter was so weak. What if she was bullied?

"I'd better go and take a look!" Bian Zhao stood up and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall.

-

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Lan Ning stared at Fu Rou, his tone unable to conceal his sarcasm, "I remember that some people seemed to be under house arrest, but they were able to enter the Qinzheng Palace?"

Furou was not to be outdone. The relationship between the two of them was already in deep water. She felt sick of pretending to be a loving sister. "My mother was concerned about the child in my belly, so she allowed me to walk around the palace."

That does make sense.

Lan Ning chuckled, "Have you been to Tinglan Palace?"

That was the place where Furou imprisoned the royal heir. Now it had been ransacked by Xuan Mo and his men, and had become a completely empty palace. It was silent, cold, and filled with gloomy winds. Even the eunuchs in the palace did not dare to go there at will.

"I have been there." Furou said slowly, with a half-smile, "But that place is even more gloomy than the cold palace now. I was not allowed to enter because I was pregnant, so I only took a look from the outside."

She was the one who did it. It would take a lot of time to clear herself of the relationship even if the truth came out. How could she go there in person to give evidence?

I just took a quick look outside the door and told myself that I must completely eradicate the problem when I take action next time.

"It would be a shame if you don't come in and sit down." Lan Ning sneered, "My sisters might be waiting for you to have tea."

At this point, Lan Ning suddenly had a better idea. She didn't want to live in the palace because it would be convenient for her to attack Xuan Heng, and secondly, there was no one in the palace that she trusted, and she was afraid of being attacked again.

But this method is sometimes inconvenient.

For example, she couldn't keep Furou's first-hand information in her hands. She couldn't put pressure on Furou, and her mission progress didn't make any progress. She still had to earn points.

Lan Ning suddenly tugged at Xuan Heng's sleeve and said, "It seems that the empress didn't assign me a palace. Can I have the Tinglan Palace?"

She still stubbornly refused to acknowledge the Empress as her mother.

Xuan Heng nodded, "Okay."

He couldn't make any decisions about the allocation of palaces in the palace, but the empress felt guilty towards Lan Ning and would not directly reject her request. He could then find someone to renovate the palace.

Fu Rou was even more upset by Xuan Heng's willingness to comply with every request. She said sourly, "The Regent and Lan Ning have a really good relationship. It seems like you have only known each other for three months?"

The orcs are very sensitive to smells. Furou smelled the strong smell of snake roe on Lan Ning, which showed that Xuan Heng had been marked by Lan Ning. Unless Lan Ning took the initiative to abandon him, Xuan Heng would never have other women in his life.

Lan Ning will be able to take down Xuan Heng in three months.

Not to be underestimated.

Furou's eyes gradually became sharper. The people present were all the smartest of the smart. How could they not understand what she meant? Wasn't it just that the two of them were using each other?

Lan Ning tilted his head. "So what? Are you jealous?"

She was calm and could still enjoy leaning in Xuan Heng's arms, staring at Fu Rou's increasingly tense face and smiling brightly.

Xuan Heng had been an official in the court for three years, and his relationship with Fu Rou was merely that of a superior and a subordinate. She didn't believe that Fu Rou had never had feelings for Xuan Heng, but in the end, she was the one who had a close relationship with Xuan Heng.

Furou snorted, "What's there to be jealous about?"

Lan Ning didn't mind provoking him even harder, "If you're not jealous, why are you trying to sow discord between us? Or are you looking forward to our falling out?"

She was always merciless when speaking to people she didn't like. Furou had seen this before at the Rui Terrace. She had thought that she would be more restrained this time in front of so many people, but she was still so aggressive.

Furou couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. She stared at the wound on Lan Ning's neck and suddenly remembered something she had heard.

She smiled and said, "That's your business. I'm just asking casually. I heard that your body is seriously damaged and it's difficult to have children. Can the Regent accept it?"

The orcs valued offspring the most. If a woman couldn't give birth, what would that matter? She would just be reduced to a plaything.

Furou firmly believed that no one would continue to choose Lan Ning. Isn't it a joke to obey a woman who can't have children?

Jing Ye, who values ​​the development of the tribe, will not do that, and Xuan Mo, who is rational and balanced, will not do that either.

Furou felt that she still had a chance.

But she seemed to have forgotten who had made Lan Ning look like this.

[Xuan Mo's favorability +2, total favorability: 44. ]

[Jing Ye's favorability +2, total favorability: 42. ]

"Offspring are not the most important thing." Xuan Heng held the delicate body in his arms. After they were honest with each other, he often thought of their first encounter that day.

He couldn't bear to think of Lan Ning's dying appearance.

Xuan Mo and Jing Ye, who were watching from the sidelines, frowned tightly. They looked at Fu Rou's gloating expression at the same time. It was such a pretty face, but now it was full of malicious ridicule.

"When I think about the possibility that my future child might harm my siblings, or be used as a tool to save my life or win favor, it's better not to have one," Xuan Heng continued.

These words made Xuan Mo and Jing Ye's faces change.

Everyone present knew who did those things. It was only because the empress wanted to protect Furou that she allowed her to stir up trouble in the palace. However, she should not have mentioned this matter in front of these three men.

Xuan Mo stood up slowly. Facing Fu Rou, he was naturally different from Lan Ning in being gentle and warm. "Your Highness Fu Rou has been out for long enough today. It's time to go back."

Jing Ye took a step forward and made a gesture of invitation, "I will have someone escort Your Highness back to the palace."

Several people sang the same tune, and Fu Rou could no longer maintain her good composure. She held her belly with a gloomy face and had to leave with the soldiers arranged by Jing Ye. Before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Lan Ning fiercely.

——Hibiscus Palace.

Furou felt that she was a little impulsive this time, but she no longer had the chance to start over. She had to return to the palace and stare in a daze at the supplements brought to her on the table.

"She's really great." Fu Rou couldn't understand why even Xuan Mo and Jing Ye were now supporting Lan Ning.

Just based on that little bitch's damaged face?

Furou sneered repeatedly. She went to the Qinzheng Palace and was so angry that her stomach started to hurt.

"Someone come quickly." Furou covered her stomach. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She was about to give birth. "Hurry... someone come quickly!"

-

As soon as Lan Ning returned to Narcissus Pavilion, he heard Xuan Heng say that Furou was about to give birth.

"Shouldn't the normal pregnancy last ten months? It's been less than two months and she's already born?" Lan Ning was stunned.
