Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li naturally knew that Mo Chen had woken up, so she didn't remember what happened to little Mo Chen yesterday.

But now is not a good time to explain...

She hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to speak, when a maid announced from outside:

"Someone from the palace has come to invite Miss Mu to the palace to help the Empress with her pregnancy."

Ye Li was stunned. Pregnancy protection?

Did she hear it correctly?

Ye Li quickly got up, opened the door, and then asked the maid:

"The Empress is pregnant? Is she really pregnant this time?"

The maid nodded: "The palace eunuchs said that all the imperial physicians examined her yesterday and confirmed that she is pregnant, but the Empress is still asleep, and the Emperor is very worried..."

Ye Li asked curiously, "Sleeping soundly? What happened?"

The maid knelt down: "This servant does not know."

Ye Li thought so too. Most of these palace secrets wouldn't circulate outside. It seemed that Li Siyue's deep sleep must be related to Xuan Yuanming, but fortunately, she finally became pregnant.

As long as she is pregnant with the dragon's seed, no matter how reckless she acts, Xuanyuan Ming will not dare to touch her.

Ye Li nodded: "I understand. Go tell the eunuch that I will wash up and then go to the palace."

Because Mo Chen had previously asked Xuan Yuanming for permission to return to the General's Mansion at night and enter the palace during the day.

Therefore, after the eunuchs came to the General's Mansion yesterday to read out the imperial decree, they found that Ye Li was not in the mansion, so they all went home. Today, they came again to invite Mu Nianchen to the palace.

After Ye Li finished washing up, she said to Mo Chen, "I'll go to the palace first, and I'll explain to you when I get back, okay?"

Mo Chen was in a gloomy mood from the morning onwards, feeling that he must have lost some important memories.

Because neither of them was naked this morning, and his wife was sleeping in his arms, while he remembered nothing, Mo Chen felt guilty, suspecting that he had not followed the family rules.

But seeing his wife's reluctant expression, he felt guilty and had no choice but to suppress his doubts.

Mo Chen held her hand and said, "Be careful when you enter the palace this time. If you encounter any difficulties, seek help from the Emperor Emeritus."

Ye Li nodded: "I will be careful. Now that the Empress is pregnant, I suppose Xuan Yuanming will not go so far as to kill the Emperor's father-in-law. However, the Emperor is very suspicious. If the child cannot be born smoothly, the Emperor's father-in-law's mansion will be in danger. We can take this opportunity to win over the Emperor's father-in-law's mansion."

Mo Chen listened to Ye Li's analysis, shook his head and said, "Leave these things to me. You go into the palace first and be careful."

Ye Li turned around and followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree into the palace.

Although the maid didn't know what had happened in the palace, Ye Li had a special ability: she summoned birds and asked them what had happened in the palace the day before.

The birds said that the Emperor's father-in-law was escorted to the palace, where Xuanyuan Ming publicly ordered him to commit suicide, and made Li Siyue witness his death in front of her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation...

Such a cruel situation is heartbreaking just to hear about Ye Li, and it sends chills down my spine just to think about it.

Everyone who ascends to the throne has almost completely extinguished their emotions and desires. Father-son relationships are severed, and brothers kill each other. Xuanyuan Ming is one of the best among them, almost a madman.

Ye Li asked, "Did Li Siyue see the way the Emperor's father-in-law died, and that's why she's in a deep sleep?"

The little bird recalled its memories: "The Empress fell asleep holding the Emperor's father-in-law's body, and never woke up again."

That's it. Her husband had abandoned her, her father had died tragically, and Li Siyue had lost everything, so naturally she had lost the will to live.

Sadly, at first, Xuanyuan Ming didn't believe Li Siyue was pregnant.

According to the little bird, Xuanyuan Ming summoned all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital one by one to examine the Empress's pulse.

Ye Li thought to herself, "It's better not to wake up at all than to suffer such humiliation. Out of sight, out of mind."

The little bird continued, "But ever since he learned that the Empress was pregnant with his child, Xuanyuan Ming has abandoned his plan to use Li Siyue as a pawn to deal with Su Zhelan..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li realized that Su Zhelan had been planning this for a long time and had a deep mind, so this matter was probably not simple.

Ye Li asked, "How has Su Zhelan been lately?"

The birds said they didn't know, and only then did Ye Li realize that although the animals could chat with her, their intelligence was limited, and they couldn't monitor many people at the same time.

Ye Li smiled, rewarded them with some food, and then let the birds fly away.

Ye Li sat in the carriage, pondering her next move. She knew that her purpose in entering the palace was to awaken Li Siyue. Xuan Yuanming had already spoken, and if she didn't take things seriously, he would be eager to find an excuse to suppress the General's Mansion.

However, if Xuan Yuanming has a child after waking up Li Siyue, he might seize the opportunity to deal with the General's Mansion.

Ye Li made up her mind; she had to find a way to protect Mo Chen.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Ming was in the palace, feeling frustrated and unfulfilled.

He had already planned to use Li Siyue to take revenge.

But fate is cruel. Li Siyue became pregnant with his child. Xuanyuanming sat by the bed, his large hand stroking Li Siyue's belly. Although it was still early in the month and she wasn't showing yet, Xuanyuanming could almost hear the child calling him "Father Emperor".

At first, Xuan Yuanming thought that children were just a means to procreate, but after Li Siyue lost her child to save him last time, Xuan Yuanming was heartbroken and had nightmares for several nights in a row. That's when he realized that he longed for a child.

They yearn for the continuation of their bloodline, and long for a child to raise on their knees, to share the joys of family life.

Perhaps because the previous loss was so deeply etched in his memory, when Li Siyue became pregnant again, Xuan Yuanming went from initial shock and disbelief to feeling heartache as he watched Li Siyue sleep soundly.

The emperor, who had been biding his time and biding his time for a long time, realized for the first time that he also had things he truly cared about.

He cares about the child, and he also cares about the woman who is pregnant with the child.

Seeing Li Siyue kneeling before him, begging for mercy and weeping bitterly, Xuan Yuanming realized that he didn't feel the joy he had imagined, nor the happiness of a comeback.

He did indeed successfully break free from the control of the Emperor's father-in-law's household, regain control of the government, and even devised a plan to obtain the Northern Camp military tally from the Emperor's father-in-law.

Everything was perfect, and everything was proceeding according to plan.

He just felt empty.

Xuanyuan Ming looked at the sleeping Li Siyue and muttered to himself:

"Mu Nianchen will be here soon. She will definitely heal you. Even if she can't wake you up, there is still Doctor Mu."

"I will always find a way to wake you up, Siyue. You can't escape it."

Xuanyuan Ming held Li Siyue's hand tightly, not letting go for a long time.

He tried to squeeze Li Siyue tightly, but she was lifeless and unresponsive.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, he would be like a living dead...

Xuanyuan Ming himself was unaware that he was anxiously waiting for Mu Nianchen to enter the palace and revive Li Siyue...
