Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

"This may be the aftermath of the high fever. Only with adequate rest and physical conditioning can one recover." The imperial physician leaned forward to peek into the carriage.

Recalling the Emperor's sudden...

Chunmei and Doctor Li also bowed, and Chunmei even called out anxiously, "Your Majesty."

"she……"

Murong Shuo glanced at them and was about to speak.

Zhang Tianai leaned out from behind him and gently pulled him. Although her brows showed the struggle of enduring dizziness and headache, she still forced a smile: "How could I... Thank you, Doctor Li, Your Majesty, I must thank Doctor Li."

"it is good."

"Is your head no longer hurting and you're not dizzy anymore?" Murong Shuo had not expected her to show up. He turned around and held her in his arms. His eyes fell on her furrowed brows, and then he looked away again with heartache.

When he turned around.

"Try to relieve her headache and dizziness." Once the pain worsens, she will probably forget him again, Murong Shuo added.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The doctor responded quickly, his voice filled with a hint of urgency.

Chunmei watched this scene while Doctor Li lowered his head.

Murong Shuo paused for a moment and said, "Let's continue forward. We can discuss the rest later."

The carriage door slammed shut, and with a crisp sound, the carriage slowly started.

He hugged the woman in his arms tightly and gazed at her lovingly.

"Where does the emperor plan to return to?" Zhang Tianai asked softly, his fingers still pressing on both sides of his forehead.

"Where do you want to go? I will accompany you there, but I still need to go back to the enclosure. The affairs in the enclosure are difficult to suppress, and the same is true in the capital." Murong Shuo mentioned briefly.

He didn't elaborate.

Zhang Tianai longed to know what had happened in Weichang and the capital after she left.

Murong Shuo was unwilling to say more: "You... should have a good rest. You have a headache and dizziness, what are you thinking about?"

"Your Majesty." Zhang Tianai leaned against the emperor with a delicate look, her eyes full of concern for him. "Your Majesty, please don't frown. What's wrong?"

Murong Shuo whispered, "Aren't you in pain?" He reached out and gently stroked her forehead, massaging her.

"I have ordered the imperial physician to find a solution."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt that much. I can bear it. I said, everything is fine as long as Your Majesty is here. But who are those people? How did you find me before you showed up? Did you read the letter?" Zhang Tianai still wanted to find out the truth.

Her questions kept coming.

"You have a splitting headache, yet you ask so many questions? Do I need to remind you? Let me emphasize again, get a good rest." Murong Shuo did not answer directly, but urged her to rest again.

He gently pressed her head, hoping that she could fall asleep peacefully.

At the same time, he was worried that she would forget him and was hesitant.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Tianai said that she didn't want to fall asleep and wanted to keep looking at him. After all, it was not easy to see him. She could only meet him in dreams before, and he was not gentle to her in her dreams.

She moved slightly and kissed him gently. Murong Shuo felt her tenderness and returned her a passionate kiss.

The two were immersed in this sweet kiss and were reluctant to separate for a long time.

If he could do so, he would be willing to bear all the headaches and dizziness for her.

After the kiss, Murong Shuo still stared at the woman in his arms.

"This kid seems to have become more lively after seeing the emperor." Zhang Tianai stroked his abdomen and noticed something.

Murong Shuo remained silent and just looked at her quietly.

The two smiled at each other.

"Your Majesty, I can't fall asleep for the time being. Ever since I was burned and taken away, I have no idea what happened afterwards. When did Your Majesty know about this and how..." Zhang Tianai was unwilling to give up asking.

She also wanted to understand what the emperor said when he closed the carriage door.

Murong Shuo was helpless with her. After thinking for a while, he felt that she would know all this eventually. As for the matter of amnesia, he was no longer willing to delve into it.

She was suffering from a headache and dizziness, so he reached out to massage her. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered that she had not eaten or drunk anything since she woke up, and had been sleeping all the time.

Zhang Tianai shook her head to indicate that she had no appetite.

Murong Shuo fetched a water cup from the side, poured her a full cup of water, and carefully fed her to drink. After she finished drinking, he put down the cup and asked the doctor what to do if she didn't want to eat.

The imperial physician said helplessly that he was helpless.

Zhang Tianai asked Murong Shuo to continue.

Murong Shuo asked her if she was hungry, she shook her head. When asked about the fetus in her belly, she said she had eaten a lot last night.

So he began to tell the story.

In the past, he would never indulge her like this.

"I only learned of this several days later. When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe that you had met with an accident. I had clearly arranged for secret guards and attendants to protect you, and sent people to search for you everywhere. The capital also never relaxed its vigilance, but the news I received was that you had disappeared, with no trace left. Fortunately, Nanny Li and the others refused to believe that you were dead, and neither did I. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I personally led my people away from the enclosure."

He gave a rather brief account of what happened after he left the enclosure.

"Actually, I should have gone looking for you a long time ago. From the moment you disappeared, your image has been all in my mind. You said..." Murong Shuo's voice was a little hoarse.

Zhang Tianai called out to the emperor shyly.

She saw it, really saw it.

Murong Shuo gently closed his eyes, suppressing his inner emotions. "It's just that at that time, the Crown Prince was assassinated, my mother was in poor health, and some changes occurred in the enclosure. I was too busy to deal with them, so I could only deal with these matters first, and then quietly go out to look for you. After that, I was also assassinated, and many things happened one after another."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianai immediately looked at the emperor nervously and asked, "The emperor was also assassinated? Is the emperor okay?" She looked the emperor up and down, her eyes full of tension, worry and concern.

"What's wrong?" Murong Shuo looked at her and asked, "Are you worried about me?"

"No."

Zhang Tianai shook her head in denial. "How could the Emperor be assassinated? I'm deeply worried. First, the Crown Prince was assassinated, and then the Emperor met with an unexpected accident. Who could be so bold?"

"I originally suspected that your disappearance was related to the Crown Prince."

Murong Shuo did not hide it from her.

He did doubt the prince.

Zhang Tianai had similar suspicions and had once suspected the Crown Prince, but the Emperor's attitude seemed to contradict him. He seemed to have discovered the truth and the mastermind behind the assassination. So, who was it? Was the Crown Prince also assassinated?

Is he still alive?

"After the Crown Prince was assassinated, my mother was heartbroken, and I had no choice but to stay by her side. Later, although I was assassinated, I was fortunately aware of it in advance and continued to search for you with my men, but I never found you. After I returned, I organized another search and finally received your letter. Fortunately, Eunuch An received it in time. If it had been someone else..."

"I subsequently sent someone to follow the messenger. When they arrived in town, someone came to report, and that's when I learned of your whereabouts. I discovered someone was still following me, so I deliberately revealed my whereabouts to lure out the mastermind. Sure enough, they found you. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

Murong Shuo narrated all this slowly.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Tianai finished listening and said softly, "Thanks to Your Majesty for arriving in time, I have been very cautious."

"If not for this, I'm afraid we would have met long ago." Murong Shuo recalled that when he first arrived in the town, he happened to pass by Zhang Tianai. Zhang Tianai smiled at him and gently hugged the emperor.

Murong Shuo thought to himself that if they had met then, perhaps she would not have lost her memory. "Those assassins have been killed, but the truth can still be traced."

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with this?" Zhang Tianai asked.

"Let's wait and see." Murong Shuo answered briefly.

"By the way, I wonder if the emperor has already found out about the Crown Princess's premature birth in the capital? I'm sure everyone knows about my disappearance. Now that the emperor has found me, I am willing to return to the capital immediately." Zhang Tianai lowered her head in thought, feeling uneasy.

"Don't have any wild thoughts. I have blocked the news and no one dares to leak a single word. Even if someone knows, I will claim that I have already settled you somewhere else. It seems that someone in the capital has also secretly blocked the news." Murong Shuo comforted him.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Tianai looked up, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"The emperor said that there are a lot of backlogs in the enclosure." Zhang Tianai continued his words.

"Yes, the matter of the Crown Princess's premature birth also needs to be dealt with. I haven't taken care of it yet because I was looking for you. I will deal with it after I return." Murong Shuo said, his eyes fixed on her.

At this moment, Zhang Tianai felt hunger coming, but what made her even more miserable was the stabbing pain in her head, like thousands of silver needles piercing her. She endured the discomfort and leaned close to the emperor.

"What's wrong? Is your headache coming back?" Murong Shuo noticed her abnormality and asked with concern. He gently pressed her temples, trying to ease her pain.

However, Zhang Tianai's pain did not ease, but instead became more intense. Finally, she could no longer bear it and whispered, "Don't press it, Your Majesty. It's no use."

Seeing this, Murong Shuo hugged her in his arms and asked distressedly, "Is your headache so severe?"

Zhang Tianai gradually lost consciousness in agony and fell into a deep sleep. Murong Shuo looked down and found her fast asleep, a wave of worry rising in his heart. He gently stroked her cheek, confirming that she was merely asleep and not unconscious, and immediately called for someone outside to come in.

He asked the imperial physician if there was a solution, and the physician reluctantly said that he could only take medicine and get more rest. However, medicine was not good for Zhang Tianai's health, especially since she was pregnant.

Murong Shuo asked Doctor Li and Chunmei again, and was relieved after learning that Zhang Tianai was not taking any other medicines.

He lowered the carriage curtain, pondering silently. The carriage continued on its way, soon arriving near the paddocks. Murong Shuo glanced at Zhang Tianai in his arms, feeling undecided. He had originally wanted to settle her somewhere else and return to the capital together after the autumn hunt, but now he was worried about leaving her alone. The paddocks were dangerous, but he felt at ease having her by his side.

The carriage stopped. Murong Shuo called out to Zhang Tianai softly, but she still hadn't woken up. He sent someone into the enclosure to investigate, while he waited beside the carriage with Zhang Tianai.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Tianai remained in deep sleep. Murong Shuo was extremely anxious, but he was helpless. He could only gently call her name, trying to wake her. Finally, Zhang Tianai opened her eyes slightly and looked at Murong Shuo in confusion.

"It's time to eat." Murong Shuo ordered someone to bring food to her, intending to feed her. However, Zhang Tianai had no appetite at all. She only managed to eat a few bites before she started coughing and retching.

Murong Shuo was distressed and questioned the people around him why this happened. After learning that she had been like this recently, he became even more worried.

Zhang Tianai held his hand and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty, you will feel better if you take more." Murong Shuo had no choice but to help her eat. With his patient persuasion, Zhang Tianai finally drank more water and ate some food.

After nightfall, Murong Shuo and his group quietly returned to the enclosure. They arrived in front of the dragon tent. After Murong Shuo asked everyone to leave, he walked in holding Zhang Tianai. Eunuch An had been waiting for a long time and immediately knelt to greet the emperor's return.

"Your Majesty, who is this?" Eunuch An asked curiously.

Murong Shuo ignored him and walked straight to the bed, holding Zhang Tianai and gently putting her down. He then gently covered her with a blanket before standing up. Eunuch An followed in and peeked in. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Concubine Liang.

Murong Shuo looked at him coldly and said, "Liang Fei has been found." There was no emotion in his tone, but Eunuch An caught a hint of something unusual.

"How is Concubine Liang's health? Has she suffered any hardship or fatigue? She doesn't look well." Eunuch An asked many questions in one breath, obviously caring about Zhang Tianai very much.

Murong Shuo said with some displeasure, "How can I answer you when you ask so many questions?" But then he softened his tone and ordered, "Go and call the imperial physician, Chunmei, and that man right away."

Eunuch An responded and was about to leave, but Murong Shuo stopped him again. He asked him about the situation in the enclosure.

Eunuch An stopped, holding a whisk, and carefully observed the emperor's expression: "The situation has gotten out of control, Your Majesty. Not to mention anything else, just on the Empress Dowager's side, many people have gone to visit that person..." He deliberately lowered his voice.

"Enough." Murong Shuo interrupted him abruptly, his face instantly becoming as gloomy as water.

Eunuch An let out a soft cry, puzzled as to why His Majesty wouldn't let him continue. He instinctively covered his mouth, glancing at Concubine Liang beside him, and wondered: What if Concubine Liang heard... but she seems to have fallen asleep?

How could she hear it? Eunuch An glanced at Concubine Liang again.

Murong Shuo was also watching and observed for a while, but didn't see anything unusual.

However, he did not want to take the risk and did not want her to know all this. After all, she had experienced too much hardship.

After a moment, Murong Shuo waved his hand.

Eunuch An was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Tianai suddenly opened her eyes, waking from her deep sleep. She looked up drowsily and asked, "Where is this? Who are you?"
