Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

But judging from what Shen Muxue just said, since she has such a close relationship with His Majesty, why not let her inform him in advance in case of any emergency?

"It was my father's lack of consideration that led to all the trouble later. I only cared about the immediate benefits and didn't think about the long-term development, which led to the subsequent disputes. Now I want to sever our father-daughter relationship, but I'm worried about hurting Prince Xuan's reputation. After all, the friendship between Prince Xuan and me for many years cannot be ignored, so I really don't know what to do at the moment."

"Why should we be so concerned about Prince Xuan's feelings? It wasn't us who intentionally deceived each other in the first place. It was he who had ulterior motives. He gave up his relationship with his legitimate fiancée and seduced Shen Luoxi instead. We can't control his actions, and now he has only brought this upon himself. Father, there's no need to worry too much about what others think."

With Shen Muxue's words as support, Duke Anguo suddenly felt confident and smiled: "Then you can go and explain this matter to His Majesty. You are always more persuasive than me. As for the matter of severing the blood relationship with Shen Luoxi, I will find another way to properly handle it and try not to make things too awkward."

"Well, leave this matter to me."

Shen Muxue replied softly. She knew it was her responsibility to resolve the matter so that her father would no longer be embarrassed.

This arrangement just happened to be what Duke Anguo had hoped for, and both of them were very satisfied with it.

Afterwards, the father and daughter ended the conversation with satisfied expressions, as if a huge stone had finally fallen from their hearts and they felt a lot more relieved.

As night gradually fell, the lanterns in the palace gradually lit up, and Shen Muxue slowly walked into the hall under the guidance of the dim and soft light.

"Your Majesty, I want to tell you a different story tonight."

His Majesty had been listening to stories about the romantic affairs between monks and nuns for three consecutive days. Although those stories were indeed full of temptation and excitement, he instinctively wanted to turn a deaf ear to them, but deep down he could not suppress his strong curiosity.

"Stop talking about monks and nuns. I'm tired of hearing these unpleasant stories. I don't want to hear them anymore."

Shen Muxue raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Then let's talk about some interesting things that happened between the prince and the princess tonight."

Starting from the day when Mrs. Kang returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she recounted every detail until today when Duke Anguo planned to sever his relationship with Shen Luoxi. The whole story involved not only the grievances between families, but also the complicated situation in the court.

After listening, His Majesty pondered for a long time without saying a word.

In fact, he had heard about this family change a long time ago and was not surprised.

Telling this matter in person through Shen Muxue at this moment was undoubtedly also to make him say some words of forgiveness and understanding.

If it were in the past, Duke Anguo would have made such a big mistake and allowed Prince Xuan to marry a princess with a complicated background. He would probably have been punished long ago.

but now!

The more His Majesty saw Prince Xuan suffer, the happier he became. He believed that all this was the result of Prince Xuan's own fault and his lack of understanding of right and wrong.

However, as a monarch, he cannot pardon the sins of his subjects at will, otherwise the subjects will disobey the law at will in the future and gradually lose their proper awe of the imperial power, which is obviously not conducive to the stability and longevity of the regime.

So he got off the bed with a dark face. This sudden movement scared Shen Muxue so much that she quickly followed him, wondering in her heart: Is His Majesty angry?

Is it because Duke Anguo was too pragmatic and careless that Prince Xuan’s Mansion had to accept a wife with an unclear background?

What will Your Majesty do next?

Will he punish her for deceiving the emperor, or will he reprimand her father for disrespecting the royal bloodline?

Seeing His Majesty walking towards the outside, Shen Muxue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my father for this mistake. When I made this decision, I simply hoped to help my mother achieve her wish. When I learned that Prince Xuan and Shen Luoxi were close, I proposed that Shen Luoxi be placed in the ancestral temple. This shows that I never had any intention of making her Prince Xuan's wife, nor did I have any intention of offending Your Majesty or the Queen Mother. This was all purely accidental, and there was no malice involved."

His Majesty stood still, and she secretly walked up to him and continued to act coquettishly and begged for a long time, finally easing the emperor's anger.

According to legend, when the emperor gets angry, blood will flow like a river and corpses will be everywhere.

Although she had never witnessed such a horrific scene, she experienced firsthand the feeling of being forced to lie down because of shock and fear that night, and she could not sleep the whole night.

The next afternoon, Shen Muxue woke up from her daze, her heart filled with dissatisfaction with Shen Luoxi.

Now that she has entered the mansion and become the eldest daughter, she should have spent every day quietly, but she had to be aggressive and cause trouble.

Even if she married Prince Xuan, she should stay at home and wait for the birth of the child, which is better than showing off in public.

She had to show her identity as the daughter of the Duke of Anguo and the future candidate for queen in front of everyone.

Even if it was just to show off, he should have avoided important occasions. Why did he choose to show his status when the court ladies came to the palace to pay homage to him?

This behavior of wanting to be the center of attention really makes people worry that one day the entire Anguo Mansion will fall into deeper trouble.

It's worrying that they won't give up until the matter becomes a big deal.

I thought about how Duke Anguo had once said that he would find a way to solve the current problem, but in fact, every time he proposed a solution, it was often unsatisfactory and not clever at all.

Shen Muxue had no choice but to come forward and summon Prince Shen to discuss the matter, hoping that with his help, they could properly deal with the current difficulties.

Especially considering that Shen Luoxi is in the sensitive stage of pregnancy, revealing all the secrets at this time may only affect the unborn children, after all, they are innocent lives.

Therefore, this emergency response plan was temporarily shelved, and it was decided to be officially implemented after Shen Luoxi gave birth.

The years passed by quietly like a white horse passing by, and a month was gone in the blink of an eye.

While having a meal one day, Shen Muxue suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea.

In fact, her menstruation stopped during this period.

Since then, she has always deliberately avoided meeting His Majesty, for fear of disturbing the Holy King.

Because His Majesty had taken the Elimination Pill before, he did not think of other aspects. Even the Queen Mother thought it was just an ordinary symptom of indigestion and did not associate it with other possible situations.

When the imperial physician was summoned, the empress dowager's tone was filled with care and tenderness: "If fish soup makes you feel uncomfortable, try steamed crab first. It's lighter in flavor, and right now is the perfect time for the crab meat to be plump and rich in roe. These are fresh goods sent from Jiangnan via express delivery, and you can only enjoy them for a few days each year. You must try them."

Faced with this situation, Shen Muxue smiled lightly and tactfully but firmly declined this precious proposal.
