Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Feeling extremely unbalanced and jealous, Shen Cainv couldn't help but keep an eye on Lan Qingwu from time to time.

This day was the day when Nie Wushuang took Lan Qingwu's pulse. Emperor Shenwu arrived at Suowu Palace early.

Nie Wushuang knelt on the ground and respectfully took Lan Qingwu's pulse. His brows relaxed slightly, and then he turned to the Shenwu Emperor: "Your Majesty, after this period of careful treatment, the Queen has greatly improved. I believe the Queen herself can also feel it, and her diet and sleep have all improved!"

Emperor Shenwu nodded in satisfaction: "Good! There is a reward!"

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Nie Wushuang retreated respectfully.

Lan Qingwu leaned into the arms of the Shenwu Emperor: "Your Majesty, are you relieved? Brother Heng, can you accompany Ruo Ruo to the prayer platform tonight?"

Emperor Shenwu held her in his arms and said, "Okay, you go up first. I'll take care of some things and come find you later."

At 12:00 PM, Lan Qingwu went up to the prayer platform alone, while Ruping stood waiting at the foot of the platform.

Emperor Shenwu came out of the Qianzheng Hall and walked towards the prayer platform along the small path with only Li Xiang.

Under the dim moonlight, a graceful woman came towards him. Emperor Shenwu paused for a moment, and when she got closer, the woman knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, your concubine pays respects to you."

The Emperor Shenwu narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly. "Shen Cainu, at this hour, why are you not in your own palace? What are you doing here?"

"After my meal, I was trying to digest my food and saw the beautiful moonlight. I walked here without realizing it."

Emperor Shenwu did not want to say more: "If you have nothing else, return to the palace!"

The Shenwu Emperor had already strode away. Shen Cainu was carefully helped up by the palace maid. She looked at the emperor's departing back and suddenly said quietly, "Tell me, at this hour, where is your Majesty going?"

The maid Xuewen was shocked: "My lady, how would this slave know? My lady, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace!"

Shen Cainu's eyes turned, and after a moment she walked in the direction where Emperor Shenwu left.

On the prayer platform, Lan Qingwu looked up at the bright moon and the starry sky. Thinking of his relatives in another world, he couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if my family in the other world won't be sad because of me!"

"What are you sad about?" Emperor Shenwu climbed the stairs and only heard the last few words.

Lan Qingwu turned around and saw the Shenwu Emperor. A smile appeared on his lips: "Brother Heng! I mean, if I can't wait for you any longer, I will be sad."

Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu from behind, and the two of them looked up at the vast starry sky together.

"It's so beautiful!"

"When you were weak and alone, did you pray for your family?"

"More than just family!"

Lan Qingwu gently turned her head to look at the Shenwu Emperor: "I pray every day, praying that my husband will be safe and sound, and have no worries in his life!"

Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu tightly in his arms. Under the starlight, the two of them were in their own little world, with light and shadow overlapping and indistinguishable from each other.

At the prayer platform, Ru Ping and Li Xiang nodded gently to each other. Meanwhile, at another prayer platform, Shen Cainu looked up at the high platform. His Majesty had gone up to the platform alone, and Concubine Yi must have been there too.

Only high-ranking concubines could go up to the prayer platform to pray. It was usually guarded by the Imperial Guards, and the guards would only open the door at night. But which high-ranking concubine would ascend the platform in the dark? Only Concubine Yi, accompanied by His Majesty himself, could do so.

Xue Wen, who was standing behind Shen Cainu, couldn't help but feel a little scared. She whispered, "My lady, let's go back to the palace! We can't get up to this high platform."

Shen Cainu laughed at herself and said, "Yes, your young lady can't get up there, but someone else can. I'm pregnant, but I don't get any pity or care from your majesty, but someone else can easily get all of this!"

Xue Wen was even more timid. "My lady, I heard from other palace maids that His Majesty always treats the six concubines like this. However, His Majesty always follows the palace rules and arranges for imperial physicians for pregnant concubines. He also instructs the Imperial Household Department to ensure that all things are not lacking. My lady, the other concubines are the same."

Shen Cainu's eyes darkened. Was that really the case? What about Concubine Yi? That day at Qiufeng Pavilion, she had heard His Majesty declare Concubine Yi his wife, and Concubine Yi had addressed His Majesty as "husband." This was the privilege and privilege bestowed upon the Empress, the head of the Six Palaces. She had also witnessed firsthand how His Majesty treated Concubine Yi, with such intimacy and affection, treating her like a treasure. In stark contrast, the time Shen Cainu was summoned to the Emperor's bedchamber was like a business matter, devoid of any tenderness.

The scene of Emperor Shenwu holding Concubine Yi tightly in his arms and kissing her appeared in Shen Cainu's mind. Shen Cainu's tears slid down unconsciously. She just wanted a little pity from His Majesty, but why did Concubine Yi want to occupy His Majesty's entire body and heart! It's not fair, it's really not fair!

After that, Shen Cainv would quietly come to the prayer platform every day. She found that Lan Qingwu would go to the prayer platform almost every night at the hour of Xu, sometimes accompanied by His Majesty, and sometimes Concubine Yi was alone.

Shen Cainu was like a crazy voyeur, secretly watching every move of Lan Qingwu and Emperor Shenwu. She couldn't control herself at all, as if only by imagining that the person with His Majesty was herself could she calm down.

Another night, Shen Cainv watched from afar as Lan Qingwu went up to the prayer platform. That night, Emperor Shenwu did not come. Shen Cainv looked up at the woman on the high platform, and vaguely understood in her heart that she would probably never reach such a high place in her lifetime.

Xue Wen, who was standing behind Shen Cainu, glanced at her own master secretly. She couldn't persuade her master to stop behaving like this, so she could only follow her master in fear every day, hoping that nothing would happen again. After all, whenever her master and Concubine Yi met, accidents always happened. She was really...

Shen Cainv, who was in a trance, looked at the swaying figure on the platform, and her feet moved unconsciously. Unexpectedly, an accident happened at this time. She stepped on empty air and fell to the ground before she could steady herself.

Shen Cainv only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Xue Wen was suddenly in a panic and hurried forward to carefully help Shen Cainv up.

Shen Cainu endured the pain and said, "Keep your voice down, let's walk back slowly."

Shen Cainu did not feel any better after returning to Lixiu Palace. She lay on the bed, her abdomen cramping slightly. Xuewen had tears in her eyes: "My lady, let me call the imperial physician. How can you do this?"

Shen Cainu's face was pale, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead. "This is not right. If Concubine Jiang asks me how I got scared and how I got pregnant tonight, how will I answer?"

"But...but..." Xue Wen was hesitant at first, but the next moment, Xue Wen covered her mouth in fear, "Blood...there's blood! My lady, you're bleeding. Please don't move. I'll go get the imperial physician right away!"

Xue Wen ran out in a panic, and Shen Cainv raised her hand with great effort, only to see that her hand was covered in blood. Shen Cainv couldn't believe it and stared at the blood: "Child... my child... the child of His Majesty and me..."
