"Oh? Princess Nanjiang, why don't you tell me how I lied?"

Wen Yuan's tone was as calm and steady as usual.

She knew Li Zhao was looking at her, but Wen Yuan was too lazy to even glance at him.

"Brother Emperor, she picked the flowers in the imperial garden at will. You told me that flowers are to be admired and not to be picked at will."

Li Zhao withdrew his gaze from Wen Yuan, frowned slightly, and replied, "Well, the flowers in the imperial garden cannot be picked casually."

Hearing this, Amire became more confident. She raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "I knew she was lying."

Amire kept calling her "her" and didn't take Wen Yuan seriously at all.

"Amire, don't be rude." Li Zhao taught in a deep voice. If you listen carefully, you can hear the imperceptible doting in his words.

"Brother Emperor, the Imperial Concubine lied, didn't she?" The people of Southern Xinjiang didn't understand the caution and tact of the people of Taifeng. Amire was relentless and insisted on getting an answer.

Her voice was sweet and lively, with the innocence and childishness that is unique to girls of this age.

But her expression was too proud and complacent, and she was 100% sure that Li Zhao would stand on her side.

Unfortunately, Li Zhao did not follow her wishes:

"What the imperial concubine said is true. She is pregnant, and I have given her permission to pick flowers."

Amire's smile faded completely. She looked at Wen Yuan fiercely, "What? She's pregnant? Father said my child will become the crown prince of the Taifeng Dynasty. She hasn't been pregnant in eight years. How come she's pregnant right after I entered the palace?"

These earth-shattering remarks made the palace maids present open their eyes wide.

Only Wen Yuan's expression remained as calm as ever.

"Amire! Stop talking nonsense!" Li Zhao's face was no longer filled with false intimacy, and the ice in his eyes was colder than the snow outside.

"Hmph, what did I say wrong? You all bullied me. I want to go home to find my father."

When had Amire ever been treated so harshly? With a pout on her lips and tears in her eyes, she stormed out of the door in a huff.

The people from southern Xinjiang followed her and left, and the originally crowded Lotus Pavilion suddenly became much emptier.

"Someone, take Xiaoying back to Yonghe Palace."

Wen Yuan was worried about Xiaoying's injury. At this moment, only this could touch her heart.

The palace maids helped Xiaoying out of the house, and Wen Yuan followed.

When passing by Li Zhao, he grabbed her wrist.

Wen Yuan shook it off, but couldn't get rid of it.

"Let go."

"Ayuan, listen to me."

Eunuch Zhou winked at everyone, and they hurriedly left. Eunuch Zhou also stepped out and closed the door.

"Ayuan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Li Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at her, his attitude very humble, as if he was apologizing sincerely.

Wen Yuan asked, "What are you talking about? Is it that Amire is moving into the harem, or that the emperor is planning to make your child the crown prince?"

"No, it's not what you think." Li Zhao held Wen Yuan's hand: "Just rest assured and take care of the baby. Leave the rest to me. I won't let Amire offend you again."

Wen Yuan sneered. Once Amire was crowned as the Queen, not only would it be an offense, she wouldn't even have the dignity to do so. As a noble concubine, she would have to pay her respects to the Queen every day.

How can I feel at ease when that time comes?

Wen Yuan said coldly: "Okay, I'll leave it all to you. Your Majesty, I have to go take care of Xiaoying, please let me go."

"Ayuan, you don't believe me."

Li Zhao held her in his arms, his chin resting lightly on Wen Yuan's head: "Our child is the crown prince."

Wen Yuan snuggled up obediently without refutation.

She was leaving anyway, so it had nothing to do with her whose child became the crown prince.

After Li Zhao had hugged her enough, Wen Yuan left the Lotus Pavilion without looking back.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. Just as Wen Yuan got into the sedan chair, Eunuch Zhou followed in the heavy snow.

"My Lady, His Majesty is worried about you, so he asked us to follow you."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

On the way back, it took us twice as long before we arrived safely.

Wen Yuan did not return to the warm room. Instead, he sat in Xiaoying's room and watched the imperial physician bandage her.

She asked in detail about the injury, whether it would leave scars, how long it would take to heal, and every detail. Sakura was so moved that she almost cried.

"My lady, I am fine, even if I have a scar."

"I care, I don't like it." Wen Yuan interrupted her directly, turned around and ordered the imperial physician to use the best medicine.

Eunuch Zhou helped to arrange people in front of and behind the scenes. After sending the imperial physician away, Eunuch Zhou came to Wen Yuan with a wry smile.

"Your Highness, Princess Amire came to the capital with the envoy from Southern Xinjiang, and Your Majesty was not initially aware of this. On the night Your Majesty entertained the envoy, Princess Amire disguised herself as the envoy's maid and entered the palace. While pouring wine, the seal in her bosom accidentally fell out. It was the seal of the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, engraved with a female eagle. A guest is a guest, and Princess Amire took up residence in the harem. Your Majesty did not invite her here."

Wen Yuan listened patiently and looked at Eunuch Zhou meaningfully: "Eunuch Zhou, the emperor is the ruler of the world. He can do whatever he wants. There is really no need for you to explain so much to me."

Regardless of whether Amire entered the palace or not, Wen Yuan cared about Li Zhao's unauthorized disposal of his secret guards.

Without the secret guards, Wen Yuan would be blind and deaf. As long as Li Zhao wanted to hide what was happening outside Yonghe Palace, Wen Yuan would never know.

"This..." Eunuch Zhou realized that he might have done something bad with good intentions, and he shouldn't have said too much.

"Go back, eunuch. I'm tired."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Xiaoying lay in the house for a few days, but she couldn't stay there any longer and insisted on getting up to take care of Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan tried to persuade her a few times but to no avail, so he let her go. He only told her not to do it herself and to let other palace maids do it.

It has been snowing heavily for several days and it is so cold outside that one dares not even breathe hard. Wen Yuan has been feeling lazy these days and has been staying in the warm room, refusing to move an inch.

Occasionally, she heard the maid whispering in her ear that Princess Ji Xingyao of Ruiping was buried yesterday, and Prince Ruiping stood in front of the coffin, reluctant to close it.

The wind and snow were heavy, and everyone in the Ruiping Palace stayed with the prince for several days and nights. If concubine Su Jinyun had not suddenly fainted, the burial date would have had to be rescheduled.

Wen Yuan already knew all these things clearly through the system.

Ji Xingyao's body completely disappeared from this world on the fifth day after her death. When the coffin was sealed, her 3D printed model was found inside.

The system said that after the funeral, the human body model will disappear and Princess Ruiping's tomb will become a cenotaph.

Wen Yuan: [System, has the dream weaving started?]

System: [It's started, it's started.]

Wen Yuan: [How is the effect?]

System: [Su Jinyun's eye bags have reached her chest, and her dark circles are comparable to those of our national treasure, the panda.]

When talking about pandas, Wen Yuan thought of the convenient and comfortable modern society. She almost forgot the 26-key input method on her mobile phone.

Airplanes, high-speed trains, buffets, Disney, and Ferris wheels have become distant and vague in her mind, and sometimes it takes a long time to recall the feeling at that time.

Wen Yuan decided to find an opportunity to boil and drink the abortion medicine in the next few days.
