I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Lan Zhi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said with a serious expression:

"If you really want to take him with you, I can bring you some pills to calm him down. If he doesn't cause trouble on the way, it will save you a lot of trouble."

Wei Jianning immediately looked at her with eyes full of surprise.

"My wife, you and I are thinking the same thing. I was actually planning to ask you for it."

Lan Zhi's lips curved slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Wei Jianning jumped off the carriage first and then came forward to help her.

After she got off the carriage, he took her hand again and walked towards the palace.

After a night of turmoil, the Emperor did not attend the morning court session. He was still lying in bed, holding Ling Lanhua in his arms, reminiscing about the wonderful things that happened last night.

"Orchid, I never expected that you, at such a young age, could serve me so well. Last night, I felt like I was in heaven."

"Your Majesty, Uncle..."

Ling Lanhua moved closer to him, lightly tapping his chest with her finger, and replied in a sweet voice:

"That's because you taught me so well. Your body is better than any young man's. Last night, not only did you feel good, but I... I felt good too..."

As she spoke, she reached her hand down to his trousers again. The emperor looked at the naked little darling in his arms, feeling her caresses, and rolled over to press himself against her once more...

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have come to pay their respects."

Qin Shun's voice came from outside. The Emperor stopped his vigorous movements and roared in displeasure.

"Get out."

The outside fell silent, and the Emperor's interest was also interrupted. Seeing this, Ling Lanhua's eyes were filled with disgust, disgust for Lan Zhi.

She whispered softly, her breath warm against the Emperor's ear:

"Your Majesty, please don't tell the Crown Princess that I'm here!"

"I know."

The Emperor reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

"Orchid, I really didn't expect that as the ruler of a country, you would have to do it secretly if you wanted a woman."

"emperor……"

Lan Hua leaned closer to him, clinging to him, and said in an extremely sweet and charming voice:

"Sneaking around women is something you've never done before. Isn't it interesting to do something you've never done before once in a while?"

"Hahaha!"

The emperor threw his head back and laughed.

"That's right, very interesting, especially with you, my little devil."

At this moment, Qin Shun called out from outside again:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have arrived. The Empress Dowager requests your presence at the Longevity Palace."

"understood."

The Emperor replied and sat up from the bed. Seeing this, Ling Lanhua quickly put on her coat and then got out of bed to help him put on his shoes and clothes.

As he buttoned his clothes, the Emperor said softly:

"Go back to your room and rest for a while. Then sneak here tonight. I'll be waiting for you here."

The Emperor seemed to genuinely enjoy this clandestine feeling. Although Ling Lanhua was somewhat unwilling, she still nodded happily.

"Okay, then you go ahead and take care of your business. I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep. You kept me up all night, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart."

As she spoke, she glanced at the bright red stain on the bed and smiled triumphantly.

"Your Majesty, this... I'll secretly keep it."

The Emperor raised his hand and touched her face, nodding in satisfaction.

"Little girl, I'm keeping you hidden away. Let's see how long I can keep you hidden."

Ling Lanhua smiled shyly. She had already planned in her heart that when she found a suitable opportunity, she would let people discover her existence. Then, she would ask the emperor to make her a concubine. Wouldn't that bring her a good life?

However, this cannot be rushed; it must be done slowly until the emperor is completely captivated by her.

……

Longevity Palace

The Empress Dowager sat in the main seat, with the Emperor's seat reserved for her, but the Emperor had not yet arrived.

The Empress sat to her right, and Consort Liang was supposed to sit to her left, but Consort Liang did not come.

Consort Zhen was very proactive, arriving early in the morning. She was currently sitting there chatting with Consort Liang and Consort Jiang, seemingly casually.

Wei Jianning and Lan Zhi stood in the middle of the main hall, quietly waiting for the Emperor's arrival.

After waiting for a while, the Empress Dowager urged with a stern face:

"Granny Sun, send someone to urge the Emperor. He didn't attend court this morning, nor did he get up. In whose palace did he sleep last night?"

Consort Zhen seemed to realize something and covered her mouth, saying:

"Even Consort Liang didn't come. Could His Majesty have... perhaps spent the night at Fangcao Zhai?"

Granny Sun hurriedly replied:

"No, when I sent someone to Fangcaozhai this morning to deliver a message, the Emperor was not there. Consort Liang said she was unwell and would not be coming."

"Not feeling well? Is it serious? The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are serving tea, it wouldn't be appropriate for her, as the mother-in-law, not to come, would it?"

"I don't know."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand impatiently.

"If she doesn't come, so be it. But the Emperor can't just not come. Send someone to urge him."

"Yes."

Just as Granny Sun was about to turn and leave after receiving the order, Qin Shun's voice came from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived."

The Empress, Consort Zhen, Consort Duan, and Consort Jiang quickly rose and came down to the hall. Wei Jianning and Lan Zhi also bowed in greeting towards the doorway.

"Welcome to His Majesty..."

The Emperor walked in with a beaming smile. "Rise, all of you!"

He quickly approached the Empress Dowager, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, asking in confusion,

"I heard the Emperor spent the night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night? He didn't even attend the morning court session this morning. Is it because someone from one of the palaces spent the night with you?"

The Emperor paused for a moment, then lifted his robe and sat down next to the Empress Dowager, waving his hand awkwardly.

"I reviewed several memorials last night and went to bed late. I felt exhausted this morning and got up late. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me for neglecting state affairs."

"I'm old and don't want to deal with these trivial matters anymore. Ning'er, serve the tea!"

Clearly, the Empress Dowager was getting impatient. Wei Jianning also knew that the Empress Dowager harbored resentment towards him because of Wei Jian'an's matter. If it weren't for the matter of etiquette, he wouldn't have wanted to come in front of her and provoke her.

He gestured for Lan Zhi to come forward with him, first offering tea to the Empress Dowager, and then to the Emperor, Empress, Consort Zhen, Consort Jiang, and Consort Duan in turn.

After the Emperor had finished his tea, the Empress asked,

"I have heard that Lan Zhi is pregnant. She must take good care of herself and bear children for the royal family as soon as possible."

Pregnant? When did she get pregnant?

Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wei Jianning.

The Empress's words were not unfounded, and they could not expose her directly, but what was the basis for her statement?

Just as the two of them were stunned, the Empress said again:

"I heard from the matchmaker that Ning'er forbade Lan Zhi from stepping over the brazier, saying that she was unwell. Could it be that she is pregnant?"

This……

Lan Zhi suddenly remembered what Wei Jianning had said, and she immediately felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her scalp was about to explode.

She didn't know why Wei Jianning said that, but that didn't necessarily mean she was pregnant.
