Emperor Shenwu walked to the bedside and held Lan Qingwu in his arms. "You didn't let the palace servants in, and you cried alone again?"

Lan Qingwu hugged Emperor Shenwu's waist tightly, and finally stopped suppressing herself, as if a wronged child had seen her relatives, and tears fell into Emperor Shenwu's arms.

Emperor Shenwu said helplessly, "Don't cry anymore. My heart is broken. Did you think of your people when you heard those words?"

Lan Qingwu sobbed and spoke intermittently, "Also... when we were at the border, there was a time when Brother Heng went to fight and never came back. There was no news. I waited and waited in Xiaotaoyuan. That time... I was really scared..."

"Brother Heng, I'm sorry. I know I've caused you trouble this time, but... I really can't stand it..."

Emperor Shenwu gently cupped Lan Qingwu's cheeks and wiped away the tears with his fingers: "Ruoruo, you don't need to apologize. You started it, and I will finish it for you. I asked you to stay by my side, not to humiliate you. Leave the rest to me!"

Lan Qingwu couldn't help but bury himself in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor again. The Shenwu Emperor sighed softly, "In the final analysis, it's because the position I gave you was too low that others bully you."

Lan Qingwu shook his head gently: "Brother Heng, I don't fight for status. I... have never thought about it..."

"I know that Ruo Ruo just wanted to be Yun Heng's wife from the beginning to the end."

Lan Qingwu was slightly stunned, and hugged the Emperor Shenwu even tighter. The Emperor Shenwu said again: "I have always regarded Ruo Ruo as my wife."

Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's delicate face with his bony fingers, bent down and kissed Lan Qingwu's tender lips. His movements were gentle and cherishing. Gradually, Emperor Shenwu unconsciously deepened the kiss, and Lan Qingwu was pressed down on the bed by him.

Emperor Shenwu thought that it was still March, so he had to restrain himself and stroked Lan Qingwu's chin with his fingers: "After these few days, I will accompany you well."

Lan Qingwu's cheeks flushed and she could only remain silent.

Emperor Shenwu warned again: "I can't accompany you at night, you must eat well, sleep well, and don't cry secretly anymore. I will come to see you during the day in the next few days."

Lan Qingwu nodded slightly.

Emperor Shenwu left Suowu Palace and returned to Qianzheng Hall only after finishing his dinner.

After that, Emperor Shenwu would take time out every day to visit Lan Qingwu in Suowu Palace. As a result, everyone in the harem understood that Concubine Xie was finished this time.

All the concubines in Wangchun Palace were saying, "What's the difference between Concubine Yi being under house arrest and not being under house arrest? Who in the harem wouldn't want such a house arrest?"

In Yufu Palace, Concubine Qi sat upright on a chair and said softly, "I didn't expect Concubine Xie to be just a paper tiger. So useless. It's a waste of all the advice I gave her. Even a noble lady couldn't suppress her."

Another voice sounded softly, "Xiepin is useless. Who else is outstanding among the newcomers?"

Concubine Qi thought carefully, "The stunning Concubine Li and Concubine Ye are both under house arrest. And Concubine Li is your Majesty's cousin."

The voice continued softly, "Miss Ye is truly foolish, and Miss Li is truly beautiful. Miss Li? Let's see."

Concubine Qi nodded and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What about Concubine Qian?"

The voice was slightly sharp and decisive, saying, "Remember, what happened to Concubine Qian has nothing to do with us. It was just that the little palace maid happened to mention that flowers shouldn't be touched by humans, and Concubine Qian heard it. We don't need to know how things developed afterwards, but we also need to find out. Do you understand? What happened afterwards has nothing to do with us!"

Lan Qingwu just stayed in his own Suowu Palace with peace of mind. After a few days, news came from outside the palace that Wen Guiren and Bai Shuren went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense at the same time, but were surrounded by poisonous snakes outside the door. Wen Guiren had a miscarriage and was about to give birth, but Bai Shuren remained calm and was not frightened.
