He straightened his spine, slowly withdrew his hand, and stared straight ahead, without any further touch. As for whether she recognized him, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that at least some trace of him would remain in the depths of her memory.

"Why are you here? Why don't you stay outside?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in Zhang Tianai's voice. She asked again, but before she finished speaking, her body involuntarily took a step back.

"You..." Murong Shuo's eyes were fixed on her every movement, and the anger in his heart was ignited again. He knew that she still hadn't recovered her memory and was still unaware of his existence. He recalled everything that happened last night, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He hesitated to speak and just looked at her quietly.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Tianai seemed to remember something, turned her gaze to him and called softly.

Murong Shuo's heart trembled, but his expression remained calm: "You finally recognized me? You know my identity and even know how to call me."

"Of course I recognize him." Zhang Tianai's voice was as soft as a mosquito. "How could I not recognize him? But Your Majesty, are you here to wake me up?"

"Why else would I be here? Is it because I miss you, can't bear to leave you, and want to keep an eye on you and protect you all the time?" There was a hint of joking and seriousness in his words.

"It's early morning and the sky is bright. It's time for me to get up. Your Majesty should also go out so that I can get up with peace of mind." Zhang Tianai looked out the window, trying to see the scene outside clearly.

After saying that, she turned around, grabbed the quilt tightly with both hands, and tried to get up.

"I have been waiting for you, but now you say such words. It seems that you have completely forgotten what I said last night, right?" Murong Shuo spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his voice.

Zhang Tianai looked embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Last night was last night."

"You are good at making excuses. I said everything I needed to say last night. I thought you understood." Murong Shuo did not say anything else.

"What about Chunmei and Doctor Li? Have they gotten up yet? Are they free? Are they outside? When I get up, I'll be able to see them and ask them." Zhang Tianai turned to ask him.

"Okay." Murong Shuo responded briefly.

"Where is this place?" Zhang Tianai looked around and at the invisible outside, trying to find a clue.

She longed to see it one more time.

"Paddock, I have already said it before." Murong Shuo replied.

"Paddock?" Zhang Tianai's mouth opened in surprise. "Isn't the paddock a place for autumn hunting?"

"That's right." Murong Shuo nodded.

"Aren't there a lot of people outside, all here to hunt?" Zhang Tianai couldn't help feeling a little flustered when she thought about how she didn't remember anything.

Murong Shuo saw through her thoughts and asked knowingly, "Well, what's wrong?"

"Can I not stay here?" Zhang Tianai didn't want to stay in this place full of unknowns and dangers, so she looked at Murong Shuo.

"Where do you want to go? Do you want me to take you there? Just tell me, wherever you want to go, I'll take you there." Murong Shuo said.

"Really?" she asked tentatively.

"Speak!" Murong Shuo interrupted her, his eyes fixed on her.

"I..." Before Zhang Tianai could finish her words, she was interrupted by Murong Shuo.

"No," he said firmly, looking at her sharply.

"Your Majesty, you lied to me again." Zhang Tianai glared at him angrily. She became so excited that she even wanted to punch him again.

"I can't convince you, but it's just like this. Get up, I'll send someone in to serve you." As soon as Murong Shuo finished speaking, he shouted loudly to the outside.

"Someone come here!" Before he finished speaking, a palace servant hurried in.

"Are you going to call someone in?" Zhang Tianai felt nervous when she saw Murong Shuo was about to call someone in, and she quickly spoke out to stop him.

"Is it possible?" Murong Shuo looked at her doubtfully.

"Who do you want to call in? Who do you want to serve me?" Zhang Tianai asked nervously.

"Of course I will ask the palace maids to come in and serve you. What else can I do? If you don't want me to ask the palace maids to come in, can you get up by yourself? Or let me serve you?" Murong Shuo looked at her with a teasing tone in his voice.

He approached her, as if to say that if she wanted, he wouldn't mind serving her himself.

"No, no, don't come over here. I don't need your service." Zhang Tianai shook her head in panic and backed away, not letting him get close. "I wonder if the palace maids know me. Will they find me strange?"

"Keep calm and don't talk." Murong Shuo said after thinking for a moment, "You don't want me to serve you, and I don't want to yet." He felt a little unhappy, always feeling that she was not as lovely during the day as she was at night.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianai shut up obediently.

Murong Shuo looked at her for a while, walked closer to her and asked her to wait for a moment.

Zhang Tianai's cheeks flushed slightly.

Murong Shuo smiled gently, turned around and walked out.

When he arrived at the entrance of the dragon tent, he saw two palace maids walking in with basins of water. They hurriedly saluted him when they saw him.

Murong Shuo asked them to wait first, and then asked a palace maid to go out and call Eunuch An.

After a while, Eunuch An came hurriedly. He took a look and found that Concubine Liang had not stood up yet. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why did His Majesty call him in?

"Your Majesty." He saluted respectfully.

"No need to look anymore, the person hasn't come out yet. Go and call Chunmei over and let her come in to serve Concubine Liang." Murong Shuo said.

"Your Majesty, are you saying to call Miss Chunmei?" asked Eunuch An, secretly speculating in his heart that Chunmei had been preparing and dressed neatly, and had long wanted to come and serve.

But what about this palace maid?

He glanced at the palace attendant beside him. His Majesty had already instructed them not to say anything, but was he still so worried? Did he not want the palace attendant to serve Concubine Liang? Or did he not want the palace attendant to see Concubine Liang?

"Call them all here. Have you given them instructions?" Murong Shuo looked at Eunuch An and instructed him again.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Eunuch An responded, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I've already made arrangements with the palace maids and told them what to do. No one will dare to say anything. I'll go call Miss Chunmei in now."

"You should talk to her properly too." Murong Shuo instructed again, glancing at the palace maid beside him.

Eunuch An nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I know, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

After saying that, he flicked the whisk in his hand and walked out.

Murong Shuo looked at his back, nodded slightly, then turned and walked in.

After entering, he found that Zhang Tianai had actually sat up by herself, with the quilt wrapped tightly around her body. She was struggling to hold her belly to get her coat, and her clumsy look was very adorable.

Like a little bear, a cute little clumsy bear, wrapping itself clumsily and moving little by little.

He stopped involuntarily and looked at it quietly for a while.

Then, he slowly approached her and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"

Zhang Tianai responded softly, a hint of confusion in her voice. She didn't understand why he was summoning someone else again. This time, she took his hand and called softly, "Your Majesty."

However, what responded to her were his two short but powerful words: "Shut up."

He motioned her to be quiet, his eyes fixed on her, as if telling her to wait here obediently. The palace maids filed in, their heads bowed, their eyes not daring to leave the ground, as they saluted respectfully.

Murong Shuo nodded gently and asked if the palace attire was ready. Zhang Tianai watched cautiously from the side, thankful that the palace servants hadn't noticed her presence. The palace servants respectfully replied that everything was ready.

"That's good." Murong Shuo gave a brief order, asking the palace servants to withdraw and bring the clothes immediately. The palace servants responded by withdrawing quickly and in an orderly manner.

Murong Shuo turned his gaze towards her again and found that she seemed to be trying to quietly leave his side again. He gently held her down, his voice gentle yet majestic, "Don't move. Your personal maid Chunmei will be here soon."

"Ah, the emperor is referring to Chunmei?" Zhang Tianai asked in surprise, with anticipation glittering in her eyes. She looked out the door, as if expecting Chunmei's arrival. "It will be here soon, just wait a moment."

Murong Shuo explained patiently, gently stroking her cheek, "Your face needs some care. Wait until Chunmei comes and ask her to take care of it. It will definitely become as smooth as before."

"Your Majesty, are you disgusted with me again? You dislike my face..." There was a hint of grievance in Zhang Tianai's voice.

"No." Murong Shuo quickly interrupted her, his eyes full of sincerity, "I didn't mean that. But your face does need to be taken care of."

Zhang Tianai remained silent upon hearing this and turned her head away. Murong Shuo felt a surge of apology in his heart and wanted to cheer her up, but he couldn't find the right words for a moment.

At this moment, the voice of Eunuch An was heard outside the door: "Your Majesty, Master." Then, footsteps came closer and closer.

Murong Shuo felt relieved and temporarily put Zhang Tianai behind his mind. He called out loudly to the outside of the door: "Come in." Zhang Tianai also looked up and saw Eunuch An swinging his whisk and walking in quickly and cautiously.

He saluted in a standard and proper manner, followed by Chunmei, who looked nervous, excited and worried.

Chunmei looked up and saw her master sitting on the bed, and His Majesty standing beside her. Seeing her master smiling at her, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her tense mood relaxed a lot.

"Master." She followed Eunuch An in bowing, her voice choked with sobs.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chunmei is here. I hope Concubine Liang is well. I also pay my respects to her." Eunuch An greeted in a shrill voice.

Chunmei also hurriedly followed suit and saluted: "Your Majesty, Master, this servant is here. Master, are you all right?"

Zhang Tianai was about to reply when Murong Shuo interrupted her: "You're here, so what are you talking about?" He turned his head and saw Zhang Tianai smiling at Chunmei. This smile was gentle and intimate, a smile he had never seen before.

He couldn't help but feel jealous - this woman had never smiled at him like this before. But she smiled like a fool at Chunmei.

"Get up." He finally said unhappily, asking Chunmei to come and serve Concubine Liang. He asked about the palace servants, and Eunuch An replied that they would be here soon.

Sure enough, the next moment, several palace maids came in carrying basins, toiletries, and palace clothes. Murong Shuo stood up and walked over, glanced at the items, and told them to serve Concubine Liang well.

"Yes." The palace maids knelt respectfully in response. Murong Shuo turned back to look at Zhang Tianai and said, "You are fine." After saying that, he turned and left.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone over." Eunuch An's voice sounded outside the door.

"Crown Prince?" Murong Shuo's face changed when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Eunuch An. "What's going on?"

Eunuch An lowered his head, feeling the emperor's gaze. "That's right. His Royal Highness's men are waiting outside."
