Chapter 149 Unconsciously Arriving at the Palace of Love and Joy
That night, he embraced her substitute and celebrated the child he thought was his and hers; that night, she cried in pain and fainted in the arms of another man...
There is always a little difference between them, and it is this little difference that makes their hearts drift further and further apart...
The next day, the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant with a prince spread throughout the palace, and Wanli rushed to report that Beitang Yuan had led his troops to victory and recovered a small country on the border. With the good news coming, Emperor Xuanhui was in a good mood and issued a general amnesty.
Because Liu Ruxu was pregnant, Baili Haoxuan was extremely careful and cautious because of Leng Ruoning's miscarriage last time, and could not afford any mistakes. Liu Ruxu did not have an independent palace, and had always lived in the Holy Dragon Palace, enjoying the emperor's favor, which was unparalleled at the time.
(Holy Dragon Palace)
Liu Ruxu's face was filled with maternal love as she stroked the belly that had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy, each stroke being extremely gentle.
"Your Highness, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine is here." The palace maid brought the hot pregnancy-maintaining medicine to Liu Ruxu.
Liu Ruxu picked up the hot pregnancy-preserving medicine, put it down with a frown, and complained: "Such hot medicine, can't you let it cool down before letting me drink it? Do you want to scald me to death?"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die." The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down. The imperial concubine was deeply favored by the emperor and she must not be offended, otherwise her life would be in danger.
"What are you talking about. Bah, bah, bah." Liu Ruxu cursed coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know I was wrong, I deserve to be beaten." The palace maid started slapping herself.
"Oh, stop, stop, stop. This is really frustrating. Go out. I don't need your service anymore." Liu Ruxu impatiently drove people away.
The maid was as if she had been pardoned, and she immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude, wishing she could get away from this difficult master as soon as possible. She had just entered the palace, and asked her former aunts whether Princess Sang Yu Hanyan was difficult to serve. Those aunts said that the former queen was extremely kind and considerate to the servants, but after she came here, she found that this was not the case at all.
This master is more difficult to serve than Zhao Mengdie.
Liu Ruxu looked at the sky again and realized it was getting late, so she called the maid again, "Where's the emperor? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor just sent someone to tell her to go to bed first, as he wants to discuss state affairs with Lord Yan." The palace maid replied.
"Well, go down." He waved his hand and asked the maid to leave.
(Imperial Study)
Baili Haoxuan and Yan Zinuo were discussing political affairs in full swing, and they didn't know it was the first watch of the night. Baili Haoxuan was full of energy, but Yan Zinuo, a weak scholar, was worried.
Yan Zinuo's thugs called for a halt, saying, "Let's stop here for today. I'm tired. It would be better for the emperor to rest early as well."
Baili Haoxuan then raised his head from the military deployment diagram, glanced around, and saw the darkness outside the window. He then realized that night had fallen, and looked at Yan Zinuo's tired face.
"Well, Zinuo, go back and have a rest first. Let's stop here for today." Baili Haoxuan motioned Yan Zinuo to go back.
After Yan Zinuo left, Baili Haoxuan put away the military deployment map, thinking that Yan'er must have fallen asleep, and he didn't want to go back and disturb her.
However, there was nothing else to do and I couldn't find anywhere to go.
After leaving the imperial study, he walked slowly, his feet moving casually, until he arrived at the door of the Qingyue Palace. He suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had come here without realizing it.
Seeing that there was still faint yellow light in the hall, he sent away the eunuchs and palace maids who were following him and walked into the Qingyue Hall.
Pushing the door open, I saw that there was no one in the front hall, only the candlelight was crackling. Walking into the bedroom, I saw a woman lying on her back on the beauty couch, holding an unfinished book in her hand, and the pages of the book kept turning with the cold wind blowing in from the window...
Baili Haoxuan walked over quickly and saw that the woman was wearing thin clothes. The window was open and the cold wind kept blowing in. Even he felt the cold. He bent down and gently picked up the sleeping woman, walked to the bed, slowly and gently put her down, pulled the quilt over her and gently covered her.
He walked to the windowsill, closed the wide-open window, picked up the book that had just fallen, and took a look. It turned out to be Yan'er's favorite book. He put it in order and turned off all the lights in the room.
He walked lightly towards the bed, took off his dragon robe, took off his boots, tiptoed onto the bed, slowly embraced the woman, and gently held her to sleep.
Listening to the woman's shallow breathing, he buried his head in the woman's shoulder and rubbed it. The woman seemed to find something strange and twisted her body to push him away.
Thin clothes, skin rubbing against each other, elegant fragrance, ambiguous night, Baili Haoxuan's lower body actually responded, hot and fiery, Baili Haoxuan sighed helplessly: "You little devil, you are still restless even in bed."
For some reason, Yun Jingman's body seemed to have a familiar feeling, which made him very attached to it. This was something that even Yan'er could not give him now.
He would easily lose self-control in front of Yun Jingman, and he still couldn't figure out why. Why did he become attached to the body of someone other than Yan'er?
If, at this moment, he could think more deeply, perhaps those heart-wrenching things wouldn't happen in the future...
