The sky was already dark, the Queen Mother's minions in the court had been wiped out, and the palace had calmed down.
Wen Nianruan was still awake. Qiu Bai had just finished inquiring about the news in the palace, and his face turned gloomy: "Mother, Concubine Shu is seriously injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."
Wen Nianruan's fingertips resting on the armrest suddenly clenched tightly, and the tiny sparkles in her eyes trembled slightly.
At the entrance of the palace, Eunuch Fang sent a message: "Concubine Wen, Your Majesty, please come and come."
"good."
Wen Nianruan stood up and swayed a bit. Qiubai quickly helped him, with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty."
Wen Nianruan waved his hand and said in a dull voice: "Nothing, let's go."
Qiu Bai helped her to the Longyan Palace. Xiao Jinran was waiting at the entrance of the palace, with a cold look on his face. He glanced at Wen Nianruan and said, "Wanyan is waiting for you in the palace, go and see her."
.”
"Um."
Wen Nianruan took a deep breath and walked slowly to the bedroom.
There was no one guarding the hall, only Su Wanyan was lying on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, without any blood. Wen Nianruan stopped a few steps away from the bed, inexplicably afraid to step forward.
Perhaps he was afraid that the woman in front of him would suddenly disappear.
Su Wanyan opened her eyes and looked at her with a faint smile on her lips. She wanted to wave her hand, but she didn't have the strength to raise her arm.
". Nian Ruan, come here."
Her voice was very soft, as if blown away by the wind.
The cold and arrogant look in her eyes was gone, only fragile.
Wen Nianruan walked up to her, sat next to her, and chuckled: "Ms. Concubine Shu, long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see." Su Wanyan held her hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you will become the queen soon."
Her tone was sincere, without any jealousy or displeasure.
Wen Nianruan shook his head and smiled: "If possible, I would rather give this queen to you."
Su Wanyan laughed: "I don't have that fate."
From the moment she entered the palace, she never thought about becoming a queen. Her only wish was to stay with the emperor.
She looked at Wen Nianruan's belly: "I heard that you are pregnant."
Wen Nianruan nodded and did not hide it from her: "But it doesn't belong to the emperor, it belongs to my beloved."
Su Wanyan was slightly startled, and did not ask who her beloved was. She smiled and sighed: "You are indeed a person who does not associate with the world."
Wen Nianruan looked at her belly: "So, the child in your belly is the most noble eldest son of the royal family."
Su Wanyan put her hand on her abdomen, feeling the faint fetal movement.
Wen Nianruan let out a breath and confessed to her: "I don't like the emperor, and I don't want to be a concubine in this harem. The queen mother has been overthrown. The emperor promised me that he would let me out of the palace."
"But, I like the emperor," Su Wanyan chuckled, the brightness in her eyes flickering: "I fell in love with him the first time I saw him, but he is the emperor. Once he enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. My father
My mother did not allow me to enter the palace, and I was the only daughter in the Su family, but I still insisted on entering the palace. From the time I entered the palace to now, I have never regretted it, even if I gave my life to him."
She looked back at Wen Nianruan: "I know that the emperor is not an indecisive person, but he just softened his heart for me and opened the city gate to let the enemy go. Do you think he also has me in his heart?"
The light in Wen Nianruan's eyes flickered slightly: "Yes, the Emperor must have you in his heart."
Su Wanyan held Wen Nian's soft hand slightly, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes: "But I know that the one he likes in his heart is not me, but you."
She laughed again: "But he can do this for me, and I'm satisfied."
Wen Nianruan really admired Su Wanyan's love for Xiao Jinran. She loved Xiao Jinran's selfless love. She never asked for anything extravagantly, she just wanted to be by Xiao Jinran's side.
"Nianruan, I'm a little sleepy," Su Wanyan blinked her eyelids lightly, her eyes looked a little tired, and her voice was much weaker: "Before I close my eyes, there is one more thing I want to say."
"Okay, you say."
Wen Nianruan leaned close to her mouth and listened carefully.
"Nian Ruan, after I leave, you will also have to leave the palace. Your Majesty, he is so lonely. You asked Divine Doctor Feng to help me give birth to the child. I want the child to be with him, so that he will not be lonely.
, I have followed him for many years and left him nothing, so I can just leave him a child."
Wen Nianruan swallowed his saliva and choked slightly: "Okay."
"I have already thought of the name of the child. If it is a boy, he will be named Xiao Mujing, and if the girl is named Xiao Muxi."
".good."
Su Wanyan smiled and slowly loosened her grip on Wen Nian's soft hand.
Wen Nianruan said urgently to Qiu Bai: "Find Feng Jinyan quickly."
"yes."
"."
Feng Jinyan came over, and Wen Nianruan said to him: "We must give birth to her child."
Feng Jinyan felt Su Wanyan's pulse and said solemnly, "I'll try my best."
Wen Nianruan returned to the outside of the palace, and the palace maids began to file in with basins of water. The sight of the basins of blood made Wen Nianruan feel uncomfortable. She turned her eyes away and looked at Xiao Jinran: "Concubine Shu said, wait until the child is born.
Come down, if it’s a boy, let’s call it Xiao Mujing, if it’s a girl, let’s call it Xiao Muxi.”
"Um."
Xiao Jinran responded, a layer of cold frost forming on his expressionless face.
Wen Nianruan knew that he felt uncomfortable too.
"Concubine Shu is the woman who loves you most in this palace."
"I know that I owe her," Xiao Jinran said in a low voice. He looked back at Wen Nianruan, his eyes dark and complicated: "But I can only hold one person in my heart."
Wen Nianruan lightly flapped his eyelids, narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Yes, we can only hold one person in our hearts."
Therefore, eventually someone will become the one who is unhappy.
It was daybreak, but Su Wanyan's child had not yet been born.
Wen Nianruan didn't sleep all night. She swayed and almost fell. Xiao Jinran quickly supported her. When his hand touched her waist, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes glanced at her abdomen, and the light shone slightly.
Looking up at Wen Nianruan, he said: "You should go back and rest first. You are not in good health, so don't be too tired."
"Well, then I'll go back first."
Wen Nianruan's energy has been exhausted to the limit. If she doesn't take a good rest, she won't be able to hold on any longer.
Qiu Bai carefully helped her down the steps, while Wen Nianruan unconsciously put his hand on his abdomen.
Xiao Jinran looked at her back, focusing on her walking manner, and his eyes fell on her loose waist again, with light and dark in his eyes.
On the road, a white figure walked towards him, Wen Nian's soft eyes trembled slightly.
As the two approached and passed each other, Yun Chenan took her hand and squeezed it lightly, then immediately let go. Wen Nianruan's heart, which had been flustered all night, immediately calmed down.
Even though Yun Chenan didn't say anything, Wen Nianruan felt relieved when he saw him.
Back at Fuhua Palace, Wen Nianruan immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When she woke up at night, the first thing she wanted to do was ask about Su Wanyan.
Yushuang looked excited: "Empress, Concubine Shu has just given birth to a princess."
