Before Wen Xuanwu's excitement completely broke down, she drove Xiao Ling away and then stayed alone in the house, covering her face and crying bitterly.
The most painful memory in her life was not the harsh rejection of the gentle and kind-hearted Nangong Yu, but the few times she slept with him.
Although she knew that the rules set by the emperor could not be broken, like every woman who was obsessed with the emperor, she always hoped that she would be an exception.
Even though Zhenliang has become the first exception, she still feels that she will become the next more powerful exception and will be able to completely replace Zhenliang.
For this reason, she was especially looking forward to the first night with the emperor. Before that night came, she thought that she could finally dedicate her innocent body to him, and she felt so beautiful in her heart.
However, she never imagined that the first night the emperor brought to her would be so miserable.
Knowing that it was her first time, but showing no mercy, he lifted up the quilt and went straight to the destination. The pain was so painful that she almost fainted...
She thought it would be better the second time, but there was not much difference.
The third time, the fourth time... again and again, but none of them left her with good memories.
She clearly felt that the emperor hated her. He would arrive near the second watch and leave just before the second watch. Each time, it was as if he was completing a dull task, fast and ruthless, as if he had no interest in her.
Having been taught by her parents, Wen Xuanwu knew that if a woman in the palace could not get the emperor's favor, there was another way out, and that was to become pregnant with the emperor's heir.
However, the emperor's essence never stayed in her body. It always withdrew at critical moments, leaving her no chance to conceive.
Thinking of what Xiao Ling heard about Nangong Lie's favor towards Zhen Liang, Wen Xuanwu clenched her fist with her right hand and punched it on the hard ground, making up her mind to make a decision in a very short time.
Defeat her completely and prevent her from ever getting ahead.
When spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, a piece of great news comes from Wen Xuanwu's magnificent palace, that is - Wen Xuanwu is pregnant!
For a time, I don't know how many people transferred their jealousy of Zhenliang to Wen Xuanwu, because in the past few years, although the emperor has been favored by beauties in the harem, no woman has ever conceived an heir.
No one would doubt that there would be problems with the emperor's strong body. Therefore, everyone knew clearly that the emperor must not want children yet, or that he had not yet decided who would give birth to his first child.
Nowadays, Concubine Xuan is lucky enough to be pregnant with a child. It must not be a fluke, but the emperor's tacit approval.
In these days, the emperor has rarely let Concubine Liang sleep with her, which makes everyone think that the emperor's favor for Concubine Liang has come to an end.
Everyone had expected that Concubine Liang fell out of favor. It was already very rare for an ugly girl to be favored by the emperor for a whole quarter. If it continued, everyone would probably wonder.
The emperor's standards for judging beauty are different, or should they make their faces look ugly in order to attract the emperor?
It is said that when the emperor learned from the imperial doctor that Concubine Xuan was pregnant, he immediately went to Rosewood Palace and spent some time alone with Concubine Xuan. Although the emperor did not stay long and did not reward her with anything,
, everyone thought that the emperor was overjoyed and was extremely satisfied and favored Concubine Xuan, but he was just not good at expressing it in front of everyone.
After the people in Qiongyu Palace heard the news, Yinye was the most surprised.
While Yinye was alone with Zhenliang, he questioned, "My dear, you said that Concubine Xuan is pregnant. How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible."
Zhenliang didn't know what Yinye meant by this, so she asked, "She is not sick, so why can't she be pregnant?"
As long as a woman is healthy and has a healthy man to seed her, pregnancy is extremely normal.
Yin Ye frowned and said, "Have you forgotten what I once told you? Every time after the emperor is done, he will never forget to press a certain acupuncture point on my waist to let all the things out and prevent me from getting pregnant.
Therefore, Concubine Xuan must be treated the same way, how could there be an exception?"
Zhenliang didn't find it strange at all and said, "This means that in the eyes of the emperor, only Concubine Xuan is qualified to bear children for him, so he deliberately let her get pregnant, right?"
Involuntarily, Zhenliang couldn't help but feel sour in his heart when he thought about how Nangong Lie asked him to give birth to a child on the first day he entered the palace.
Perhaps, he had said those words to many women, and Wen Xuanwu agreed immediately. Now, his dream has finally come true.
Yinye shook his head firmly, "Maybe, that was just what the Queen Mother meant. I think the Emperor doesn't like Concubine Xuan. Otherwise, why would he stay with Concubine Xuan so briefly every time she went to bed? One hour.
Not even there."
Zhenliang's eyes were rather dull, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Whatever their reasons are, it has nothing to do with me. I won't be jealous or sad. This is great."
Zhenliang said this not only to Yinye, but also to herself. In other words, she was comforting herself and soothing the weird discomfort in her heart.
She kept telling herself that it was a good thing that she didn't fall in love with Nangong Lie or have feelings for him. Otherwise, wouldn't she be like other women and feel sad because of hearing about Xuanwu's happiness? If that were the case, she would look too sad.
.
She didn't want to become that helpless.
Yinye stared at Zhenliang closely, pouted and said, "But why do I feel that your empress is a little disappointed?"
"You are the one who is disappointed, right?" Zhenliang rolled his eyes and deliberately changed the subject, "By the way, how are you and that little guard doing? Haven't we seen each other for a long time?"
Just as Yinye was about to answer, the little shadow rushed back to Qiongyu Palace like a strong wind, stopped in front of the two of them, panted, and shouted with a look of panic, "Mother, Yinye, something bad is going to happen, it's not going to happen!"
"
Zhenliang and Ginye said in unison, "What happened?"
The little shadow said with a mournful face, "Concubine Xuan's child has been lost."
Zhenliang was shocked, but did not express his position.
However, Yinye was extremely dissatisfied with Little Shadow and said, "If you fall, you will fall. If you fall, you deserve it. How can you say that something bad is going to happen? What does it have to do with our queen? You should say that good things are coming."
Hearing this, Little Shadow looked at Zhenliang and then at Yinye with extremely complex eyes, and finally asked hesitantly, "Yinye, did you really instigate Xiaoling from Rosewood Palace to give Concubine Xuan the anti-fetal medicine?"
