Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu arrived at Qianzheng Hall that night and, as usual, knelt on the bed in the main hall bedroom, awaiting the emperor's arrival. The bed curtains were still a vibrant crimson, embroidered with groups of boys and girls, some playing, some laughing and arguing, a scene both lively and peaceful.

When the Emperor Shenwu entered the bedroom, Lan Qingwu hurriedly saluted. The emperor was wearing bright yellow nightgown. He held Lan Qingwu in his arms as usual, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her body. His eyes darkened, and he pressed her under him and pressed forward...

Lan Qingwu felt that the emperor was abnormal today. There were more and more bruises on his body. She could no longer hold back her sobs under him and looked at him pleadingly, but she saw that the emperor's eyes were like the pupils of an animal, staring at her tightly. She was shocked by the coldness and cruelty in those eyes. She couldn't help but call out softly: "Husband...Brother Heng..." This reminded her of the scene when she first slept with him.

Emperor Shenwu held her snow-white earlobe in his mouth and said, "Ruoruo has a body of icy beauty, which I cannot let go of. Ruoruo is like a snowy peach blossom..."

When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, Lan Qingwu's legs drooped weakly, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were slightly red. The Shenwu Emperor's big hand was still stroking her body: "Ruoruo, give me a prince." After saying that, his big hand fell on her lower abdomen.

Lan Qingwu opened his eyes slightly: "Prince? But Ruo Ruo is not pregnant."

Emperor Shenwu hugged her and lifted her up. Lan Qingwu's legs were weak, so Emperor Shenwu held her and sat her on his lap: "Since you entered the palace, have I ever neglected you?

Lan Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Emperor Shenwu's eyes showed no emotion: "How do you know you won't get pregnant in the future?"

Lan Qingwu hesitated and said, "Wei Ruo is afraid... Your Majesty, even if Ruo Ruo never gets pregnant, I will always stay with my husband, and Your Majesty already has a child."

The Emperor Shenwu lifted her chin and said, "That's different, Silly Ruoruo. This is the palace. If you don't have children, you can't be promoted to Consort. There will be no future. In a few years, the princes will grow up, and I will have more and more things to worry about. When that time comes, I won't be able to take care of you. What will you do? Or, you have been in the palace for so long, and I have doted on you for so long, but what medicine have you used to keep you from getting pregnant?"

He asked Nie Wushuang that some contraceptives are special and cannot be detected by pulse diagnosis after use.

The emperor's gaze was like ice and snow, freezing Lan Qingwu instantly. She stared at him blankly, tears falling onto the back of his hand: "Wei Ruo didn't...Wei Ruo didn't..."

When she first entered the palace, she knew that there was a grudge between the emperor and her. How could she dare to cross his line? Ignore his dignity? Moreover, now she had her entire family behind her. She had never thought of provoking an emperor.

Emperor Shenwu finally softened his heart and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Okay, don't cry. I believe you, I'm just weak. You know, only if you have a child can you be my real wife and I can make you the queen."

"Empress?" Lan Qingwu couldn't help but think of Concubine Jiang. She was supposed to manage the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of every palace, and report matters to the emperor like a superior and a subordinate. She also had to stay by his side when other concubines gave birth, waiting to announce the good news to the emperor. She didn't even want to go to celebrate the fourth prince's third birthday. How could she do all this? To be the empress?

"Your Majesty, I cannot be the queen. I... don't want to be the queen. Brother Heng, I only want to be your wife." Lan Qingwu leaned into his arms and replied in a low voice.

"No!" Emperor Shenwu said in a cold voice, "Ruoruo, of course you are my wife, but if you don't become the empress, you will never be able to stand by my side openly. I can't just hold your hand when I want to outside. Besides, I have to think about your future. What if I die before you? What will you do? Who will support you?"

Lan Qingwu's eyes widened suddenly, and she wrapped her arms tightly around the waist of the Emperor Shenwu. "Your Majesty... Ruo Ruo will follow you when the time comes. Besides... Ruo Ruo's health is not good to begin with, so maybe she will die before Your Majesty..."

"Weak!" Emperor Shenwu's heart was slightly shaken, and his voice sounded a little helpless. This reminded him of the time when the two of them had made up their minds. No matter what, neither of them could convince the other.

"I've asked Nie Wushuang, and as long as your body is properly nourished, you can get pregnant. I won't tell you anything else. I just want to ask you—who am I to you?"

Lan Qingwu's chin was held by the emperor, and she could only look into his deep eyes and reply, "Yes... my weak husband."

"So—" Emperor Shenwu slowly pushed her down: "Just listen to me! Got it?"

Under his animal-like gaze, Lan Qingwu said softly, "Wei Ruo... I understand."

Lan Qingwu was kept in the Qianzheng Palace by the emperor again. When she got up early in the morning and prepared to go back, Qiulan told her that the emperor wanted her to stay here.

She sat on the edge of the bed, stunned, and suddenly thought of Ruping. The emperor was suspicious. Since he had asked her that question yesterday, it proved that the emperor had doubts in his heart. He would definitely ask Ruping again...

Qiulan looked at Lan Qingwu worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Qingwu came back to her senses and realized that she had cried again without realizing it. She hurriedly reminded him, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable. Qiulan, please don't tell His Majesty. I'll just rest for a while."

Qiulan quickly responded: "Don't worry, master, I will keep my mouth shut." How could she not tell the truth from the false? She had to listen to her master.

As expected, Ru Ping was summoned by Emperor Shenwu to a side hall in Qianzheng Palace. She heard the emperor ask her coldly, "Does your master use any contraceptive drugs?"

Ru Ping was completely shocked. After coming to her senses, she quickly replied, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"I know you have long regarded Noble Lady Yi as your master, but this matter concerns her health. If you deliberately conceal it—"

"Your Majesty!" Ru Ping raised her head slightly and said firmly, "Absolutely not! I swear in the name of my master!"

The master knew that she was going to enter the palace, and she might have been hesitant and helpless, but after entering the palace, she always asked herself to be a good concubine. She saw it all, how the master who was so pure before was forced to change herself little by little after entering the palace.

Ru Ping continued, "Your Majesty, the Master would never do such a thing, nor would she even think of it. The Master...has never been able to forget it, and now that she has a family behind her, the Master would definitely not do such a thing!"

"Remember, if something like this happens, you will never have to go back to her!" came the emperor's cold voice.

Lan Qingwu looked at the food and wine on the table, then looked at the Shenwu Emperor who was holding her in his arms: "Your Majesty, would you like some wine?"

Emperor Shenwu raised his glass and said, "It's just fruit wine, not intoxicating." Then he drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Qingwu looked at the wine. He couldn't drink any alcohol. Even if it was fruit wine, he would pour it out after one glass. He didn't know what happened afterwards. His mind was completely blank.

These emperors clearly knew it.
