Murong Jingwan couldn't help but stroke her slightly convex belly with both hands, feeling the baby's naughty movements. She was filled with emotion in her heart, but she couldn't show it at all.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to court early." Caixia saw that Xuan Ningxuan hadn't gotten up yet, so she rushed over eagerly. Don't let Murong Jingwan get the reputation of a beauty who is a disaster because of Xuan Ningxuan's failure to go to the morning court.
The smile on Xuan Ningxuan's face did not rise. He glanced at Murong Jingwan reluctantly and said softly: "Jingwan, I will go to the morning court first."
Murong Jingwan nodded lightly and wanted to get up to help Xuan Ningxuan get dressed, but was stopped by Xuan Ningxuan's look, indicating that she could just sit down.
After Xuan Ningxuan left, Caixia immediately walked into the palace and saw Murong Jingwan's face covered with tears.
"Empress, why are you crying? Did the emperor bully you?" Caixia asked eagerly. She remembered that the emperor had a faint smile on his face when he left, but why was the empress crying?
Murong Jingwan shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Caixia, the baby is moving, my baby can move."
Caixia's face was full of surprise, but she didn't know why Murong Jingwan was so excited because she had never experienced Murong Jingwan's miscarriage. The child was smaller than this child and was ruthlessly aborted before there was any fetal movement.
Caixia stretched out her right hand and gently touched Murong Jingwan's belly, truly feeling the baby's fetal movement, which was a living thing.
"Empress, the little prince is really moving." Caixia said excitedly, feeling the baby's fetal movement so clearly for the first time.
"Caixia, what's so exciting? I heard your voice before I even got close." Caiyun asked a little tiredly before the sleepiness completely faded from her face.
"Caiyun, the queen's child has moved." Caixia turned around and waved to Caiyun to come over.
Caiyun suddenly lost all sleep, walked quickly to Murong Jingwan's bed, stretched out his hand and stroked her belly.
"Caixia, move, the little prince can really move." Caiyun's hand on Murong Jingwan's abdomen was reluctant to leave. As a palace maid, she might not have a child of her own in her life.
Murong Jingwan's face was filled with happiness. She would protect this child and never let him have any accidents.
"Queen, why is the little prince not moving? Are you tired?" Unable to feel the baby's fetal movement, Caiyun raised her head and looked at Murong Jingwan in despair.
Murong Jingwan nodded gently. The baby had been exercising for a long time and it was time to sleep.
"Empress, are you getting up?" Caixia asked softly.
Murong Jingwan opened the brocade quilt covering her body and stood up slowly. Caixia and Caiyun immediately understood and dressed Murong Jingwan.
"Sister Jingwan, why did you get up so early today?" Murong Jingshu's voice suddenly came from the door.
The three of them looked at Murong Jingshu at the same time. Caixia and Caiyun flashed a hint of displeasure, but Murong Jingwan calmly looked at the unique feather coat on Murong Jingshu's body, with a vague smile flashing at the corner of her mouth.
.
"Sister, you came here very early today." Murong Jingwan said as she walked to the bronze mirror and let Caiyun and Caixia tidy up her long hair that was scattered on her shoulders.
"Sister came here specifically to apologize. Because she was feeling unwell last night, she left early and didn't even give a gift to sister Jingwan. Today, sister specially made her favorite cakes to apologize to her." Murong Jingshu apologized.
He said, his seemingly respectful words were mixed with a hint of complexity.
"Sister is not in good health and needs to have a good rest." Murong Jingwan stood up suddenly, startling Caiyun and Caixia who were tying her hair.
"Queen!" Caiyun's face was full of shock.
"Caiyun, I'm sorry. Yesterday Xuan was drunk and I forgot to give the gift I prepared to my concubine. Can you go and give it to me now?" Murong Jingwan said apologetically, just to prevent Murong Jingshu from seeing the flaw.
.
"Then we have to comb your empress's hair into a bun before we go." Caixia pressed Murong Jingwan's shoulders and asked her to sit back in front of the bronze mirror.
"What gifts has Sister Jingwan prepared?" Murong Jingshu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Sister, the gift is on the table on that side." Murong Jingwan pointed to the table on the other side and said.
Only then did Murong Jingshu notice that the table was filled with various exquisite boxes. Murong Jingshu slowly walked towards the box and gently opened one of them.
Murong Jingshu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her heart. Murong Jingwan actually wanted to give away this dazzling night pearl.
Murong Jingshu did not open the remaining boxes because she knew that the items in those boxes were priceless.
After a while, Murong Jingwan had already walked in front of Murong Jingshu.
"Sister, you are in a daze!"
Murong Jingshu came back to her senses and couldn't hide her embarrassment in her smile. "Sister Jingwan, the breakfast won't taste good if it's cold."
Murong Jingwan nodded and sat on the chair.
"Your Majesty," Caixia saw Murong Jingwan already holding the chopsticks, and couldn't help calling out eagerly, but she didn't know how to stop her.
"Caiyun, Caixia, hurry up and give me a gift in return for my birthday yesterday." From an angle that Murong Jingshu couldn't see, Murong Jingwan secretly gave Caixia a reassuring smile.
Caixia understood, her slightly frowning willow eyebrows gradually relaxed, and she and Caiyun walked out of Murong Jingwan's bedroom holding gifts.
Murong Jingshu looked at Murong Jingwan with a complicated expression. During this period, she found a few bites of the dishes she made for Murong Jingwan to eat almost every day.
Murong Jingshu had a puzzled expression on her face. Why didn't Murong Jingwan react at all? Could it be that the aconite that Xiao Han gave her was fake.
Murong Jingshu didn't know that she was also being eroded by poison, a colorless and odorless poison that would only show symptoms when she died.
Murong Jingwan vomited out all the cakes within a few bites.
"Sister Jingwan!" Murong Jingshu stared at Murong Jingwan with a complicated expression. Murong Jingwan seemed to spit out the dishes she cooked every time, with only a few exceptions. Could it be that she already knew that she had put aconite in the food?
.
"Sister Jingwan, I'm not feeling well. It's because my sister's cooking is not delicious and makes you vomit when you eat it." Murong Jingshu said tentatively, but her eyes were fixed on Murong Jingwan's every little expression.
.
"Xuan said that people who are pregnant are like this. It's not because my sister's cooking is not delicious." Murong Jingwan said with a smile.
Murong Jingshu stared at Murong Jingwan's smile, and after a long time she smiled and shook her head. If Murong Jingwan knew that she had been poisoned, how could she have taken the poison? Even if she didn't care about herself, would she have the child in her womb?
Don't care either.
"Sister, Jingwan can't eat these pastries. When Xuan goes to court in the morning, let Xuan practice sister's cooking." Murong Jingwan still had an unchanging smile.
Murong Jingshu's expression changed slightly, and her palms were covered in cold sweat. She didn't want Xuan Ningxuan to be poisoned, and she couldn't afford to be charged with regicide.
