A tear slipped silently from the corner of his eye and fell steadily into Xuan Ningxuan's palm.
"Jingwan, why are you crying?" Xuan Ningxuan said reluctantly. He didn't want to see Murong Jingwan's tears.
Murong Jingwan shook her head, quickly wiped away her tears, and gave Xuan Ningxuan a smile.
"Jingwan, how do you want to celebrate your birthday?" Xuan Ningxuan asked with a smile, not wanting to let a sad atmosphere fill the relationship between the two of them.
"Xuan, you have to prepare a lot of gifts for me." Murong Jingwan pleaded, but she was secretly planning in her heart.
"Jingwan, you are the birthday girl on your birthday. Only the birthday girl receives gifts. How can the birthday girl give gifts to everyone?" Xuan Ningxuan asked in confusion, but he didn't know what Murong Jingwan's true thoughts were in her heart.
"Xuan, you don't want to." Murong Jingwan's dark eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she looked at Xuan Ningxuan sadly.
"How could I not be willing? No matter what Jingwan wants, I will satisfy you." Xuan Ningxuan solemnly promised, holding Murong Jingwan in his arms and kissing her face.
Murong Jingwan wanted to escape but did nothing in the end. Since Xuan Ningxuan loved me so much, why did he destroy Shuiyun Palace? Why did he kill his fourth brother? How can I forgive you for these two things? Besides,
You also killed Lian'er and Xiaohuan, who should I turn to to avenge them?
Murong Jingwan did not ask these words. If there was no child in her belly, she might be able to kill Xuan Ningxuan, but the baby could lose his father as soon as he was born, but he could not have a mother who killed his father.
"Jingwan, are you tired?" Xuan Ningxuan saw that Murong Jingwan was silent and thought she was tired.
Murong Jingwan nodded gently, rested her head on Xuan Ningxuan's shoulder, and closed her eyes. This atmosphere was very suitable for their current situation.
Noticing the steady breathing of the person in his arms, Xuan Ningxuan gently lifted Murong Jingwan up and placed him on the bed beside him.
After lowering his head and kissing Murong Jingwan's forehead, Xuan Ningxuan walked out with a smile on his face. He wanted to make good preparations for Murong Jingwan's birthday.
"Your Majesty, is the Queen asleep again?" Caiyun and Caixia, who were guarding the door, asked respectfully.
"Be careful with your Majesty," Xuan Ningxuan ordered in a deep voice.
"My servants obey," Caiyun and Caixia said in unison. Even if Xuan Ningxuan didn't order them, they would protect Murong Jingwan well.
Looking at Xuan Ningxuan's leaving figure, Caiyun and Caixia laughed at the same time.
"Little girl, what are you laughing at? Be careful, I will tell the emperor." Caixia said with a smile, her eyes full of jokes.
"Really? I'm not afraid. My sister also made fun of the emperor just now." Caiyun smiled and pushed back, but she was not afraid. The current emperor is not scary at all, because he has a queen, right?
Caixia suddenly made a "silence" action. She actually forgot that the Queen was sleeping, so she should not disturb her.
Murong Jingwan did not fall asleep, she just didn't know how to face Xuan Ningxuan, so she had no choice but to escape.
Murong Jingwan sat up, but unexpectedly her brocade quilt slipped to the ground.
Caiyun and Caixia heard the noise outside and immediately opened the door and walked in.
"What happened to the Queen?" Caixia asked worriedly.
"It's okay, the brocade quilt accidentally fell to the ground." Murong Jingwan quickly recovered and said with a smile.
Caixia smiled at Murong Jingwan, bent down and picked up the brocade quilt that fell on the ground, but her eyes caught a glimpse of blood. She quickly took out the clothes hidden under the bed, which were the clothes Murong Jingwan had just worn.
Caixia looked up at Murong Jingwan in shock. Only now did she realize that Murong Jingwan had changed her clothes.
"Empress, why is there blood on the clothes?" Caixia asked Murong Jingwan angrily.
"Caixia, I didn't want Xuan to find out so I hid it from you." Murong Jingwan looked at Caixia with a look on her face that she had done something wrong.
Murong Jingwan's pitiful look made Caixia not sure how to react.
"Empress, can you let Caixia bandage the wound on your chest?" Caixia pleaded. She knew that Xuan Ningxuan must not know about the wound on Murong Jingwan's chest.
Murong Jingwan slowly unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her shoulders wrapped in gauze. Through the gauze, blood stains could still be seen faintly.
"Empress, did you bandage it yourself?" Caiyun asked in shock. The way the shoulder was bandaged did not look like it was done by ordinary people.
Compared to Caiyun's shock, Caixia acted quite calmly, staring at Murong Jingwan thoughtfully, but did not speak.
"Caixia, do you want to ask me something?" Murong Jingwan asked calmly. When she took off her clothes, she had no intention of hiding Caiyun and Caixia.
Caixia thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "Empress, do you believe me and Caiyun?"
Caiyun's eyes kept wandering around Caixia and Murong Jingwan. She looked at Caixia with confusion and asked, "Caixia, why can't I understand what you and the Queen are saying?"
"Empress, from the day Caiyun and Caixia came to your side, we are your empress's people." Caixia said seriously.
"I believe you. If you don't believe me, I won't show you the wound." Murong Jingwan said calmly.
"Empress, forgive Caixia for being presumptuous, when did you wake up?" Caixia looked at Murong Jingwan calmly, and when she asked this question, she was already prepared to be killed. If Murong Jingwan didn't believe her, she would die.
undoubtedly.
"When Concubine Shu wanted to poison me and the baby." Murong Jingwan said lightly, but her heart couldn't calm down. She wanted to let Murong Jingshu go, but she pressed harder and wanted to kill her child.
"What! Concubine Shu really did this! She is the Queen's biological sister." Caiyun said in shock.
"Caiyun!" Caixia glared at Caiyun fiercely, successfully silencing Caiyun.
"Empress, I'm sorry, it's Caixia's fault. Caixia didn't notice." Caixia said in a deep voice. If the Empress hadn't woken up in time, maybe the Empress and the Prince...
"Empress, how are you going to deal with Concubine Shu? She is also pregnant with the prince now. If we act rashly, even if the emperor favors the empress, we will not be able to suppress the rumors in the palace. That will be harmful to both the empress and the unborn prince.
Unfavorable." Caiyun asked in confusion. In fact, her worries were not unreasonable.
"Caiyun, why have you forgotten that our current empress has become an ignorant child who is not familiar with the world in the eyes of everyone. Who else would doubt your empress, and the emperor is even less likely to doubt your empress." Caixia said quite confidently.
said.
Caiyun looked at Caixia with admiration. She finally understood the meaning of the conversation between Caixia and Murong Jingwan just now.
"Queen, please rest assured that Caixia and I will never let anyone hurt you and the little prince." Caiyun promised, making Murong Jingwan's eyes filled with tears.
