The cup in her hand was slowly put down, and the queen remained silent for a long time.

"If the Liu family rebels, they may not be able to tolerate you." In Shen Bozhong's view, Liu Anning's life was miserable.

The Liu family treated her as a pawn, and the emperor treated her as a spy.

Be her queen mother, control the puppet emperor, and the power will be in her hands.

But if the Liu family rebels and the Qin Kingdom changes hands, she may not have the final say.

If the Liu family really cared about her life and death, they would not have forced her to break off her engagement with Shen Bozhong and send her to the palace.

Shen Bozhong's words were not entirely meant to sow discord, but more to make Liu Anning think deeply.

"Will you... protect me?" Liu Anning didn't seem to care about this. She just wanted to know that if the Liu family really reached the stage of rebellion, no matter whether she won or lost, she would lose...

What about Shen Bozhong?

Will he protect her?

Shen Bozhong was silent for a long time, then stood up to leave.

Liu Anning laughed sarcastically, they missed it after all.

"meeting."

When Shen Bozhong walked to the door, he said something.

meeting.

Liu Anning was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Shen Bozhong with red eyes.

He said...ok.

Suddenly, she felt confident in her heart. For the first time in so many years, she found a long-lost sense of security.

Over the years, there has been no one behind her. The Liu family has only used her to climb up. She is in this deep palace. How can she survive if she doesn't act harshly?

She often couldn't sleep at night and didn't dare to eat randomly. She was afraid that... she would accidentally die in this deep palace conspiracy.

No one has ever stood up and said they would protect her.

But just now, Shen Bozhong agreed.

He said that no matter what happened to the Liu family, he would protect her.

"The Queen Mother..." The palace maid came in and spoke in a low voice. "The general asked me to let Miss Liu Wanying enter the palace as the queen, let Xiao Junhe depose Shen Ning, or... make her a concubine."

Liu Anning frowned and sneered. "Brother really... wants to do the same trick again."

This routine was exactly the same as the one used to send her to the emperor back then.

When the late emperor ascended the throne, Lian Xin, as a princess, was not named queen, but only a small concubine.

But she, Liu Anning, became the emperor's queen.

It's ridiculous to say that everyone thought that the emperor didn't like Princess Lianxin...

…

Qianyang Palace.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, it is a sensitive period for changing ranks.

But the maids and eunuchs in the harem were not anxious and seemed not to take the new emperor seriously.

When the late emperor died, everyone in the harem was replaced by the Liu family.

Now those who are left are all members of the Liu family and the Queen.

As for the new ones entering the palace, let alone that.

The empress and the Liu family planned to fundamentally isolate the emperor.

Let Xiao Junhe be a complete puppet.

Can never turn over.

"Jun He..." Shen Ning knelt for a whole day and felt a little tired.

She hugged Xiao Junhe distressedly and asked him to endure it.

Bear with it for a while...one day, they will take back their power.

"Tired?" Xiao Junhe didn't care about this. It didn't matter who they belonged to or who held the power. Don't touch his bottom line.

His bottom line is Shen Ning.

"Yeah." Shen Ning nodded, her eyes darkening.

Xiao Junhe quickly hugged Shen Ning and asked her to sit on his lap.

His legs are difficult to move, otherwise... he should hold her to rest now.

"I feel so dizzy..." Shen Ning lay on Xiao Junhe's shoulder and whispered.

Xiao Junhe rubbed Shen Ning's legs, and placed his broad and warm palms on Shen Ning's knees.

Glancing at the eunuch guarding outside the door, Xiao Junhe said in a deep voice, "Tell the imperial doctor."

The eunuch obviously didn't take Xiao Junhe seriously and pretended not to hear.

Xiao Junhe's eyes darkened, and his anger was strong.

"Don't be angry..." Shen Ning hugged Xiao Junhe distressedly.

These are all things that tend to be inflammatory and look down upon others.

"Jing Feng, teach him the rules." Xiao Junhe said in a deep voice.

Jing Feng is Xiao Junhe's secret guard and has been with him since childhood.

Jing Feng nodded and soon heard the little eunuch outside the palace screaming for mercy.

Xiao Junhe is killing the chicken to show the monkey.

Even if he is just a puppet emperor with no real power.

The Liu family would not embarrass him because of a slave.

Chuntao ridiculed the young eunuch and the palace maid for not being able to see the situation clearly. She walked into the inner hall and brought hot tea to Xiao Junhe. "Your Majesty, there are changes in the palace, and the people in the imperial dining room are negligent...Only hot tea."

Xiao Junhe was silent and did not speak.

I was afraid that Shen Ning would be hungry. "Go find some food."

Shen Ning was hungry.

Jing Feng gave the little eunuch a good beating, and the people around him immediately became more discerning. "Your Majesty, this servant will go to the imperial doctor right now."

Xiao Junhe snorted coldly and touched Shen Ning's forehead.

She has a fever.

It had been raining for days and it was cold outside. Shen Ning had been kneeling outside for so long, and it was obvious that she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Xiao Junhe asked distressedly.

Shen Ning snorted, it was really uncomfortable, and her whole body hurt.

"Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon."

Shen Ning is also skilled in medicine. Her body has been acting strange recently and she has a bad feeling.

I have a hunch... I might be pregnant.

If she becomes pregnant at this time, she will have to devote herself to taking care of herself and her child.

But if Ru really has a child, it is her and Xiao Junhe's child, and she can't bear it...

"Jun He..." Shen Ning's voice became more choked up. "Have you ever thought about becoming a father..."

Xiao Junhe's body stiffened for a moment, and he tightened his hold on Shen Ning. "Huh?"

"I might..." Shen Ning said weakly, "I'm pregnant."

Xiao Junhe took a deep breath and made a silent gesture towards Shen Ning. "Shh..."

The situation is still stable, and the pregnancy needs to be hidden for a while.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch has arrived." The eunuch spoke outside the door.

"Ning'er has caught a cold, go and get some medicine." Xiao Junhe said in a deep voice.

The imperial doctor glanced at Shen Ning and wanted to step forward to check her pulse, but seeing the strict protection of the new emperor, he did not dare to act rashly. "Yes...I will prescribe medicine right now."

The imperial doctor withdrew, Xiao Junhe asked Jing Feng to push him into the inner hall, and placed Shen Ning on the bed. "Go get some hot water."

Shen Ning looked at Xiao Junhe carefully, and slowly clasped her fingers with him. "Your Majesty..."

Although this title is a bit ironic, Shen Ning thought that one day, he would become the true king who rules the world.

More than ten thousand people.

Xiao Junhe did not respond to this title, probably because he felt a little unfamiliar.
