When Qiucao woke up, it was already noon on the second day of the third day of sunshine.
The pillows beside him have long been empty, indicating that the person who slept here last night is no longer there.
Qiucao looked at the empty bed and was confused for a moment, thinking that everything was just a dream?
Mu Zi... is obviously dead!
Moreover, even if Mu Zi is not dead, it is impossible for Mu Zhaozhang to let him enter the palace again?[
But……
Qiucao slowly lowered her head and looked at the red marks all over her body and the soreness and numbness between her legs, which told her that Mu Zi had really been here yesterday!
"Xiaohong! Xiaohong!" Qiucao shouted impulsively.
"Queen, are you awake?" Xiaohong, who had been waiting outside for instructions, heard her cry and rushed up without saying a word.
Qiucao put on her clothes and dismissed the palace maid, "Prince Mu..."
Xiao Hong nervously looked outside and then said, "King Mu left around Yin time."
Yinshi? Isn’t that about the time of the morning dynasty?
Qiucao was slightly startled, and a strange feeling quickly passed through her heart.
"Yeah." Xiao Hong nodded and lowered her voice, "King Mu said it would be better to sneak out while the ministers are attending court in the morning."
Qiucao stopped talking and just nodded to show that he understood.
But Xiaohong had other thoughts, "Queen... do you still plan to stay in the palace?" "Huh?" Qiucao looked up, not understanding why she asked.
"Since King Mu can freely enter and leave the palace, of course he can take you away." Xiaohong looked at her belly, hesitated, and then continued, "Besides, the reason for you to stay in the palace no longer exists, right?
?”
Qiucao stiffened and lowered her head following Xiaohong's gaze. The originally slightly convex lower abdomen was completely flat, and it was impossible to tell that a child had been conceived there.
But she has not forgotten at all the little life that she once breathed together.
Xiaohong is right.
The child is gone, and her reason for staying in the palace no longer exists. She can leave here with Mu Zi, go to a country far away from Mu, and live her own life...
But……
Qiucao raised her head and glanced around the huge palace. Thinking of Mu Zhaozhen's blurry yet clear face, a numbing and astringent feeling suddenly flowed into her chest.
