My Lady is well

Chapter 124 Leisure Chapter

Lady Shu looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before she lowered her voice.

"Lady Cao, I think you are the one who said it, please don't spread it around."

Lady Cao patted her chest and assured her.

"Don't you know me yet? Don't worry, my mouth is tightly shut. I guarantee it won't leak anything."

"Ahem... I suspect... that the Emperor has a problem in that area!"

Lady Cao was stunned by her words. It took her a while to react before she came back to her senses and asked.

"How did you know this?"

Shen Yueyao was startled at first, then she reached out and covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Then he heard someone say, "Listen to me and let me analyze it for you. Wasn't there a rumor a few days ago? It was said that Concubine Shen was not pregnant with the heir of the dragon. In my opinion, it is probably true."

The smile on Shen Yueyao's lips froze when she heard this. She had wanted to listen carefully to Jing Ruzhang's explosive, but she never thought that she would suffer the consequences.

Lady Cao's head was buzzing from the continuous bombardment of her shells.

"This, this, this, how did you know that? Are the two related?"

Lady Shu said in a serious tone.

"Of course there is. Didn't the emperor summon Concubine Wen Shu to sleep with him some time ago? I heard that she was sent back not long after she went to Zelu Palace. Isn't this enough to prove it? Concubine Shen must have discovered his secret and was worried that he would kill people to silence them, so she faked her death and escaped. But she was discovered by the emperor and was caught back. He deliberately found someone to do that with Concubine Shen, made her pregnant, and pretended to favor her alone to clear his name."

Shen Yueyao in the dark: "..."

Lady Cao, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then she spoke in a low voice after a while.

"You...you...what you said makes so much sense. But...but why did the emperor still summon Concubine Wen Shu to sleep with him?"

"Hey, what's so hard to understand? The emperor must have secretly taken medicine and thought he was OK again, so he summoned his beloved Concubine Wen Shu to sleep with him. But he found out that she was still not OK, so he sent her back."

"Wow, your analysis makes a lot of sense! No wonder the emperor wanted to drive Concubine Shen out of Zelu Palace that night. The emperor has to pretend to dote on a woman who is pregnant with someone else's child every day. The emperor is so pitiful."

"Alas, Concubine Shen is so pitiful. Her belly is not even showing yet, and you can't tell that she is pregnant. When her belly gets bigger, everyone will know that she is pregnant. Do you think the emperor will let her give birth to this child?"

Lady Cao covered her mouth with her hands, she was so frightened and confused that her long eyelashes fluttered several times.

"You, you mean the emperor will... This, this Concubine Shen is so pitiful."

"Who says it isn't?"

If Shen Yueyao wasn't the person involved, she would have thought that what Shu Meiren said was the truth.

This Miss Shu is really amazing!

By piecing together some fragmented things, I was able to come up with such a shocking story.

At first glance, it seems quite logical.

Talent! I need to make friends with this person. His unique way of thinking may be useful in the future.

When Shen Yueyao returned to Zelu Palace, she stopped to take a look at the peach blossoms in the yard. The gauze lanterns dimly illuminated the peach blossoms, which looked delicate but not gaudy, and very beautiful.

Shen Yueyao walked into the hall holding up her skirt and saw Jing Ruzhang sitting on the Arhat chair with an indifferent expression, holding a scroll in his hand. He was wearing a loose nightgown, revealing his fair neck and his slightly bulging Adam's apple.

She was thinking about what Lady Shu had said on the road just now. Even though it was just something she had made up in her mind, how could a hot-blooded man like him leave all the beauties in his harem and hang out with a pregnant woman all day?

No wonder there are so many rumors about the harem.

How would he react if he knew he was being framed like this?

Jing Ruzhang still had an indifferent expression on his face when he saw her enter the hall, and his eyes did not move away from the book.

But his mind started to become active as soon as she entered the hall.

He came in for a long time without even saying hello. What is he thinking about? Why is he so lost in thought?

There is no explanation for what happened today.

A gentle breeze brought a faint fragrance into the hall, dispersing Shen Yueyao's thoughts.

She took a deep breath, walked over slowly and bowed.

"I have met the emperor."

He said calmly, "Get up."

Shen Yueyao still wanted to go to Yuntai Pavilion, and at the same time, fight for the things that came with this position, such as staff in the courtyard and proper food.

"Your Majesty, will my living in the Zelu Palace... affect you? Otherwise, I should go back to the Yuntai Palace."

"No." He said coldly.

She tilted her head to look for his eyes hidden under his long eyelashes, but saw nothing unusual. She thought that she might have asked too implicitly and he didn't understand, so she should ask in a different way.

"What I mean is that if you have...physical needs, I can't...you understand, right?"

In order to return to Yuntai Pavilion, she could really find any excuse.

How could she satisfy his wishes by rubbing his heart on the ground?

"It's okay, I can wait."

Shen Yueyao smiled with a puzzled look on her face: "Wait?"

He still didn't raise his eyes, and said calmly, "Wait until your pregnancy is stable."

"..."

Listen, is this human language?!

Shen Yueyao couldn't spit out or swallow it in one breath. Her smiling face suddenly fell and she looked at him with a dead heart.

"Just pretend I didn't ask. I'm going to sleep now. Your Majesty, please do as you please."

She walked straight past him, and her hand on her waist was suddenly squeezed by someone, and her wrist was held tightly with such force that it hurt.

She turned her head and met his cold eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

Jing Ruzhang held her wrist, his brows dark and his eyes gloomy, and asked in a cold voice.

"Where?"

Shen Yueyao struggled a few times but couldn't get free, so she stammered.

"pain……"

The force on her wrist was relieved a lot, and he pulled her body forward, holding her waist with one hand and pulling her into his arms.

Shen Yueyao saw that he looked like a murderer. Was he going to take it to heart for pretending to faint today? She felt a little uneasy.

Instead of waiting for him to make a move, it is better to take the initiative to act nice, put your hands on his broad shoulders, and speak softly.

"I am indeed feeling unwell today, and I am indeed feeling a little dizzy."

He is usually heartless, but now he knows how to please others.

"Isn't it to help Xie Lanci out?"

If you admit it, you're dead. The wise choice now is to distance yourself from the matter.

"Your Majesty really loves to joke. Why should I help him out? I have only met him once."

What she said sounded more like coaxing. She had been a little bit proud of her child recently. It was rare to see her give in today, so he didn't want to argue with her.

Seeing that his expression had softened a lot, Shen Yueyao took the opportunity to raise her hand and tried to yawn, but her nails accidentally scratched his pajamas on the shoulder.

The material is not strong enough, he thought.

The dark black tent embroidered with gold thread separated the four sides of the scene. The quilt looked like a small hill, a bright yellow. In the middle lay a little person in a moon-white silk dress, with a skin as white as ice and a figure lying in the person's arms, sleeping soundly.
