Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

The eldest son-in-law pondered and said, "Princess, you can first ask the Empress for permission and get closer to her. Only when the Empress has no grudges will His Majesty truly forgive you, and our child will truly be valued and protected."

Princess Mingzhu's face finally lost its indignation. She smiled and nodded, "I understand."

Since then, Princess Mingzhu went to Fengqi Palace to ask for an audience with Lan Qingwu two or three times a month. However, this time, Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu with him, and Princess Mingzhu did not see the emperor and empress at all.

The eldest son-in-law sighed, "His Majesty truly dotes on the Empress. This time when he went to the Hot Springs Royal Manor, he didn't even bring his beloved Princess Zhangzhu with him."

Princess Mingzhu could barely control the expression on her face. A hint of gloom flashed across her eyes, but she still responded, "Then the Seventh Princess will start crying!"

Thinking of the truly pampered little princess, Princess Mingzhu said dejectedly, "Whenever the Seventh Imperial Sister is unhappy, she can just act like a spoiled child to her mother. I'm so envious of her having her own biological mother by her side!"

The Grand Consort understood Princess Mingzhu's concerns and patted her shoulder soothingly: "Princess, remember, I will always be with you and You'an."

Princess Mingzhu was slightly relieved, but a few days later, You'an developed a high fever. Princess Mingzhu was so frightened that she dared not close her eyes day or night, and dared not leave her son's side.

The eldest son-in-law happened to be on a business trip out of town. When he learned about it, he rushed back to the princess's mansion without stopping. However, he was told by the palace servants that Princess Mingzhu and You'an had been forcibly taken to the palace by Empress Dowager Li. You'an was being taken care of by the imperial doctors in the palace in shifts and was out of danger. The eldest son-in-law had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received an oral decree from Empress Dowager Li, ordering him to enter the palace immediately to meet the Empress Dowager.

The prince consort hurried into the palace, hoping to see his wife and children immediately, but was stopped outside the gate of the Cining Palace by the palace servants sent by Empress Dowager Li. The palace servants sent by Empress Dowager Li scolded the prince consort mercilessly. The prince consort listened in silence, then lifted his robe and knelt upright at the gate of the Cining Palace to apologize.

Just as Emperor Shenwu had just returned to the palace, he specially sent Lan Qingwu back to Fengqi Palace and heard the whole story.

Lan Qingwu was also stunned for a moment, not caring about his exhausted body, and hurriedly said: "Brother Heng, let's go take a look!"

Emperor Shenwu nodded with a serious face. A hint of impatience flashed across his cold and sharp face, but he had to order his men to go back to the Cining Palace.

The weather was gradually becoming hotter. From his dragon chariot, Emperor Shenwu could see from afar the Grand Consort kneeling at the gate of the Cining Palace. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but shake his head: "Go and have someone ask the Grand Consort to stand up first!"

The Grand Consort only stood up after receiving the Emperor and Empress's order. He lowered his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the dragon chariot approaching. He quickly knelt on the ground again and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, the Empress. May your Majesty be blessed with good health, and may the Empress be blessed with good health!"

Emperor Shenwu stepped down from the dragon chariot first. He turned around, stretched out his arm, and carefully helped Lan Qingwu out. Then he said, "Stand up! Come in with me! I just returned to the palace, and I want to go see how your child with Mingzhu is doing!"

The eldest son-in-law's cheeks seemed to be on fire: "I am unfilial. I didn't expect that the matter of my child would alarm Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shenwu said calmly, "I've only just had two grandchildren. When the Second Prince and Second Princess have their own children, I'll be even busier!"

The eldest son-in-law kept saying, "I dare not disturb my father!" and followed Emperor Shenwu into the Cining Palace without stopping.

Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu arrived at the Cining Palace. The palace servants did not dare to stop them and hurriedly ran to report to Empress Dowager Li.
