The light flashed across the sky. It should have been a quiet morning, but the Prince Nan's Palace was full of noise.

After one night, after being treated by the imperial physician, Empress Dowager He woke up and was helped to sit down.

Xiao Guanzi conveyed Ning Rusong's instructions to her with a humble smile on her face, "..., Empress Dowager, His Majesty is thinking of you."

Empress Dowager He still looked a little weak. She forced herself to maintain her appearance and said, "I will return to the palace today."

"Yes, I have already sent someone to clean up the Cining Palace." After a moment of silence, he continued, "There are still some things that need to be dealt with in the Yongding Palace. I will withdraw first. I will respectfully welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace!"

When Xiao Guanzi was about to leave, Empress Dowager He said faintly, "I am used to the old people who used to serve me."

Xiao Guanzi bowed and saluted, looking hesitant, "I will naturally do my best to follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager, but...but Eunuch Qiu passed away not long ago."

Everyone has been immersed in the palace for many years. Empress Dowager He suppressed the concubines in the poisonous harem so that they dared not raise their heads. How could she not know what methods and schemes Xiao Guanzi used?

Died not long ago? Oh, what a joke, I'm afraid he died last night!

Qiu Sang had offended Xiao Guanzi before. Once she fell into disgrace, she must have suffered enough at the hands of Xiao Guanzi. Now that she was going back to the palace, Xiao Guanzi was afraid that Qiu Sang would rise again, so he killed her in advance.

Empress Dowager He was in poor spirits after suffering from illness for many days. She was naturally cold-hearted. A servant who had served for many years was still a servant after all. She would not gain any benefit from wasting time and effort on a dead servant.

Empress Dowager He said calmly, "I know."

When Xiao Guanzi left Prince Nan's Mansion, he happened to meet Emperor Jingmu who was being led around by his servants. He was so frightened that he almost knelt down the next second, but he reacted in time and stopped!

"Sir, you can't go any further. I'll take you somewhere else." The maid said in a gentle and coaxing manner.

Emperor Jingmu frowned, his phoenix eyes were clear, and he pointed at Xiao Guanzi. His galo-colored sleeves slid up a little, revealing the rosary wrapped around his wrist, "He came out from the front, why can't I!"

The emperor who once looked down upon the world has become immature now.

The maid coaxed him with difficulty, "Sir, I will take you to eat the bean curd cake. Didn't you say it was delicious last time..."

Xiao Guanzi stood with his feet stiff and motionless. He wiped the cold sweat that suddenly appeared on his face with a handkerchief and stared at Emperor Jingmu being led away by servants.

"How could I encounter this huge Buddha again!" Xiao Guanzi breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

Apart from the current emperor, the only one Xiao Guanzi is afraid of from the bottom of his heart is Emperor Jingmu. So what if he is crazy? His influence is still there.

It was once a towering snow-capped mountain that reached the clouds, standing in everyone's heart.

Logically speaking, since the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, the Empress should take care of her with the concubines in the harem. However, His Majesty clearly stated that it was not appropriate for the Empress to take care of her while she was pregnant. Everyone understood that even if the Empress was not pregnant, His Majesty would not be willing to let her do so.

Empress Dowager He did not care whether the Queen was there to take care of her, and she ordered the He sisters to do so.

In the pavilion near Yongding Palace, He Yue was holding an embroidery frame, carefully embroidering a pattern. Xiao Liu was curled up beside her, dozing lazily, his snow-white tail wagging slightly.

He Yue was a little tired from embroidering, so she put the embroidery stand aside. Xiao Bi took it and put it away, exclaiming, "Your Highness, your embroidery is so beautiful!"

In fact, it was not very good. The Queen had not embroidered for a long time and had become extremely unaccustomed to it. The patterns she embroidered were stiff and rigid, and a bit weird.

He Yue became more and more sleepy due to her pregnancy. In addition, it was rare to have such warm sunshine in winter. She felt very tired. She leaned against the pillow, changed from sitting to lying, covered her face with a handkerchief, closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep.

The hands resting outside the couch exuded a translucent color, the hairpin had fallen off slightly, and a few strands of black hair were scattered and winding around the white neck. Even though she was covered with a scarf, one could still glimpse her graceful bone structure.

Xiaobi held Xiaoliu in her arms and was stunned for a moment. The queen was so beautiful. If she were a man, she would probably look like His Majesty and the head of the family.

Except for Xiaobi, the other palace maids were standing obediently in the corridor. They thought that since Xiaobi had lost the position of chief palace maid, they would have a chance. However, who would have thought that the Queen Mother had not reappointed a chief palace maid yet!

Hui Qing walked into the pavilion with an extremely strange look on her face and her eyebrows almost wrinkled into a ball. She saw that the Queen was taking a nap, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiaobi noticed something strange and tiptoed to Huiqing, asking what was wrong by mouthing words. Huiqing shook her head and said nothing.

An hour later, He Yue woke up, took off the handkerchief, and Hui Qing helped her up.

During this time, Hui Qing said something shocking, "My Lady, He Cainu seems to be pregnant!"

"Cough! Cough!" Xiaobi started coughing upon hearing such shocking news.

Others may not know, but how could they who served in Yongding Palace not know that His Majesty lived with the Empress every night, and spent the rest of his time dealing with affairs with ministers in the front court, never setting foot in the harem, and the books of concubines sleeping with him were already covered in dust, so what kind of pregnancy was He Cainu pregnant with? !

"Which He Cainü? Is there any record?" He Yue supported his head with his hands, pressed his temples lightly with his fingertips, and spoke in a flat voice.

Hui Qing quickly shook her head. She couldn't talk nonsense, otherwise His Majesty would probably skin her alive!

"There is no record. Your Majesty never sets foot in the harem." Hui Qing explained anxiously.

Xiao Bi beside him was a little stunned. Doesn't this mean that this concubine had an affair with someone and defiled the harem?

It's really brave of you to poke the sky like that!

Hui Qing spoke clearly, "Your Majesty, it is He Cainv who is pregnant. I am an expert in women's medicine. I felt something was wrong when I saw He Cainv. Moreover, she was already showing her pregnancy. Even if her clothes were loose, it was obvious."

"I also secretly sent someone to check He Cainu's menstruation, and found that she had been faking it for five months."

How can you not look pregnant at five months?
