In the airtightly guarded sky prison, only three people, Jun and Jue, Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Mei, who was three months pregnant, were imprisoned.
Queen Mother Li sat melancholy on a soft chair nearby. There were various refreshments in front of her. It seemed that Jun Ziqi did not abuse them.
"Mother, do you want to eat something? Don't starve your stomach."
Jun Yujue walked up to Queen Mother Li with a plate of snacks, hoping that the Queen Mother could open her mouth and eat a few pieces. It had been almost twenty days since they were imprisoned in the sky prison, and the Queen Mother had not even had a good meal.
After eating, I am already old. How can my body bear it if I don’t eat and sleep well?
"Please tell Concubine Mei to eat more, I have no appetite and can't eat."
Queen Mother Li took the snacks handed over by her son and put them directly on the table, still looking listless, with deep worry in her eyes.
"Mother, you should at least eat some, otherwise when the second prince and the second princess come back, they will feel distressed when they see your current appearance."
Yang Feiyan sat next to Empress Dowager Li and persuaded her with soft words. Although she did not have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager on weekdays, she was an elder after all. Now that they were in trouble together, she naturally developed more intimacy.
"Mei Fei, I've suffered so much for you. When we go out, I will definitely treat you well."
Empress Dowager Li did not refuse Yang Feiyan's kindness. She picked up a small snack from the plate she handed over and ate it slowly. With her wrinkled hands, she gently patted Yang Feiyan's shoulder.
Among the many concubines, when they heard that the emperor was in trouble, they all tried their best to protect themselves. Only Concubine Mei, despite being pregnant, was willing to accompany their mother and son to live in this prison. Such a woman can be regarded as a woman who values love and righteousness.
"Queen Mother, there is no such thing as hardship. I am the emperor's concubine. Naturally, I share the blessings and hardships with him. It's not bad for us to live here. Just treat it as a way to cultivate one's moral character."
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Yang Feiyan's face looked peaceful and not as melancholy as Empress Dowager Li. Or maybe, in her heart, there was a recognition that Jun Zimo would definitely rescue them, so she felt better.
not affected at all
"Oh, it's rare for you to say such a thing. Ever since Concubine Rong left, the emperor has begun to indulge himself. He has taken in one concubine after another. Many of them come and go and I have never even seen them. Fortunately, they met.
When it comes to you, you can still persuade some emperors on weekdays, otherwise, his body would have been broken by women long ago."
Empress Dowager Li sighed endlessly. It had been more than a year since Concubine Mei entered the palace. She was so doting on Concubine Mei that the emperor was attracted by her indifference. What made it difficult for her was that she clearly loved Mo'er in her heart, but she was...
After being drunk and raped by the emperor, there are very few women in the world who can still treat the emperor with all their heart.
"Mother, this is what I should do. Now that I am pregnant, I can understand a lot of my mother's feelings. I will definitely advise the emperor to take good care of my body in the future."
Yang Feiyan touched her lower abdomen, which was not yet protruding, smiled softly, picked up the snacks on the table and started to eat them. She didn't care that her figure would change. No matter what the circumstances, she would not go hungry.
children in
"Here, eat more, and drink this bowl of soup while it's hot."
Queen Mother Li glanced at her belly and seemed to be in a much better mood. She stood up and brought a bowl of soup from another table and motioned for Yang Feiyan to drink it.
"Yes, this soup was specially prepared for Chu Chu by the Cangshan miracle doctor. He said it is good for the fetus. Chu Chu has been drinking it. You should drink more to nourish the fetus."
Jun Yujue also walked to sit down next to Yang Feiyan, stretched out his hand to touch her belly, and felt a sense of joy that he was going to be a father again. Having a son at an old age can be regarded as a beautiful thing in life.
"Did the Emperor specifically ask the Second Prince for it?"
Yang Feiyan took a few sips, and when she heard the emperor's words, she raised her head and couldn't help but ask a few questions. The mention of Jun Zimo always made her heart shake inexplicably.
"That day I was having tea with him in the Royal Garden, and we talked about your pregnancy. So I casually asked him if Chu Chu had anything special to drink, and he copied the recipe for this soup to me and said,
Drinking more is good for both mother and baby.”
Jun Yujue didn't think too much, and he didn't have any special feelings because his beloved concubine once loved his son deeply. He spoke out naturally as if he were a family chatting.
Some things have passed, so it’s better to forget them. Even if you can’t forget them, just press them in a corner of your heart and don’t touch them again.
"Well, no wonder the second princess looks so good. I will drink more in the future."
Yang Feiyan nodded, carried the words over without leaving any trace, then lowered her head and continued to drink the soup in her hand without speaking.
"Emperor, if you count the time, Mo'er should be back soon. I don't know if Chu Chu's body can withstand a battle with the demon king from outside the world."
Seeing that Concubine Mei was concentrating on drinking soup, Empress Dowager Li reached out to count the days, looked at her son beside her, and spoke worriedly.
Her grandson-in-law was still pregnant with twins. She had heard the two children talking to her grandson-in-law. She was so frightened that she was stunned for a long time. Sure enough, my mother is very capable, and the children she carries are all little gods.
I heard that Mo'er's recovery of memory was all due to the two children. With that great-grandson who is like a god, what does Nan Zhao have to worry about?
"Mother, don't worry. Even if you are pregnant, Chu Chu will definitely be able to defeat the Demon Lord from Beyond the World. We have to believe in her."
Although he was also very worried, his daughter-in-law's belly looked much bigger than the average pregnant woman's, so he was worried that he might cause fetal bleeding if he did it like this.
"Yes, Chu Chu can still summon so many ghosts and gods. The emperor will definitely be able to help Nan Zhao overcome the difficulties. After we go out, he will immediately depose Qi'er and make Mo'er the crown prince. Qi'er this time
, it’s really outrageous, it’s obvious that it’s just inviting a wolf into the house.”
Queen Mother Li sighed heavily, touched her cold forehead, and looked out the only window. It was gloomy outside, without a trace of sunshine, just like her mood.
Jun Yujue nodded, and just when he was about to say something, he heard the guards on the side saluting one after another.
