Ning Yujin found that her height, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally began to sprout, and the baby fat on her face gradually disappeared, revealing a small curved face.
Naturally, Ning Yujin couldn't help but be happy about this, but Mo Jingxiao seemed a little unhappy, saying in her ears every day that she didn't look good if she lost weight.
Ning Yujin would roll her eyes at this time - when did the taciturn King Mo Jingxiao start to turn into a mother-in-law?
Besides, maybe he thought that pinching her face wasn't as sensual as before!
Wrapped in a mink rug and taking a nap in the carriage with a thermos in her arms, Ning Yujin was like a hibernating animal, and the quality of her sleep was improving day by day.
Next to him, Mo Jingxiao was reading a book. He occasionally raised his head to look outside the carriage and said softly: "We're almost there."
"Sir, there is a secret letter from Sheng Jing." The shadow guard opened the curtain and handed in an envelope.
Mo Jingxiao nodded, reached out, took it, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately lit it on fire and burned it completely.
Ning Yujin's son was fine now. Seeing Mo Jingxiao burning letters, she quickly asked him: "What's wrong?"
Mo Jingxiao chuckled: "The Empress Dowager passed away."
"The Empress Dowager is dead?" Ning Yujin suddenly woke up from her drowsiness, "What's going on? Look at her body and bones, she can live another ten or eight years without any problem."
Mo Jingxiao said calmly: "It was said to be a sudden illness and she could not be saved. But in fact, the emperor had someone poison her food and handled it very cleanly."
"How...how could..." Ning Yujin still didn't believe it when she thought of the old woman's powerful methods.
Mo Jingxiao said: "She took advantage of the country's crisis to engage in petty tricks. She would be a disaster if she stayed, and the emperor would not tolerate her. As for the group of people she was entangled with, you accidentally killed a group of them.
Feng Junyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, forced us into the mountains and killed a group of them. Now there are only a few scattered soldiers left, who have found a hilltop and turned into bandits."
After hearing the cause and effect, Ning Yujin clapped her hands and said, "She deserves to die."
Mo Jingxiao suddenly smiled sarcastically: "She deserved her death. I just hated her for so many years, and now, when I heard the news of her death, I seemed to feel nothing at all."
Ning Yujin grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes: "Since I don't feel anything anymore, let's let go of everything in the past and let's start over."
Mo Jingxiao reached out and hugged her, leaning into his arms: "Yes."
Everything, start over.
"But I see that you have been sleeping all day. Are you sick?"
"I'm a doctor, how come I don't know if I'm sick? It's probably because I didn't sleep well before, so now I'm relaxed and I'm always sleepy."
"Well, then you can sleep for a while. You can go to the suburbs of Shengjing in the afternoon. The emperor will go out of the city to greet you tomorrow. We will stay outside the city for one more night and then we can go home."
Ning Yujin yawned and crawled into Mo Jingxiao's arms, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep: "Well, then call me when you get there."

In the palace, Mo Ye laughed and teased the infant prince. When he saw that he was sleepy, he returned him to the wet nurse and took him out to rest.
"Your Majesty has not slept for several nights, so he should get some rest. No matter how urgent the memorial is, it is not as important as the dragon body." Shen Yixuan walked behind Mo Ye and gently rubbed his head.
Mo Ye closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and said slowly: "The battle is over, and there are still a lot of follow-up things to deal with. Just wait until this period of time is over. Tomorrow I have to meet Uncle Nine Emperors outside the city gate. You... The palace banquet next to us must also be properly arranged."
Shen Yixuan smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have explained everything and nothing will go wrong."
Mo Ye nodded slightly: "Well, Queen, you have to work hard to take care of such a big palace."
Shen Yixuan smiled with satisfaction: "The emperor is the lord of the world, and it is the world that he wants to govern. I am the emperor's wife, so naturally I have to manage the harem for the emperor. It is not hard at all."
"Having said that, after all, the prince is still young, and the queen has to worry about discipline and management of the harem. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it." Mo Ye opened his eyes and said, "Concubine Hui has been in confinement for half a year, so let her go. Come out and work with the queen to manage the harem."
The smile on Shen Yixuan's face suddenly disappeared, and she was obviously caught off guard: "This..."
Mo Ye stood up and patted her hand: "I'm also worried that you will be tired."
Shen Yixuan felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she had to respond duplicitously: "I, my concubine, accept the order."
"It sounds like I'm really tired." Mo Ye tilted his neck and stood up, "I can't endure it anymore."
"Then the emperor..."
Before Shen Yixuan could finish her words, she heard Mo Ye say: "Old Li, let me know, I will go to Concubine Shu today."
"Concubine Shu?" Shen Yixuan's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Mo Ye with some confusion, "Your Majesty, how come I don't know that there is a concubine Shu in the palace?"
"Oh, the one I canonize today is the original Ping Gui. Please arrange to choose an auspicious day and carry out the canonization ceremony."
With that said, he rolled his sleeves and walked out.
Shen Yixuan looked at Mo Ye's leaving figure, gritting her teeth, her eyes almost bloodshot.
"Concubine, I obey your order!"
Next to them, Lu Yi and Cui Yi looked at Shen Yixuan's shaky figure and quickly ran over to help her.
"My dear, my dear, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yixuan felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body, and the expression on her face was full of ridicule: "He still blames me after all, he still blames me after all..."
What Concubine Hui, what Concubine Shu... and she, the queen, are not even as good as Ning Yujin.
Now she suddenly felt that she had made a mistake in helping Ning Yujin escape from the palace.
"vomit--"
A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and Shen Yixuan leaned to the side.
Cui Yi and Lu Yi were immediately frightened: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly!"
Auspicious snow heralds a good year.
Pieces of heavy snow have fallen outside, dyeing the whole world a blanket of white.
There were several charcoal pots placed in the room, which heated up the huge palace. Everyone's face was a beautiful rosy color.
But Shen Yixuan couldn't feel any warmth at all. She only felt a cold wind coming from nowhere, making her tremble all over.
In that year, we drank and talked about the year of poetry.
That year, the sisters were in love with each other like the sea.
That year, the three of them raised glasses and shared their best wishes, and their love was as strong as gold.
But, why does she like him but he likes her?
If she had not entered the palace, if he had not met her, would all his fate have been rewritten?
Ning Yujin.
You and I used to be like sisters, but now, you and I are just strangers, and we have nothing to do with you anymore!
"Green clothes, green clothes..." Shen Yixuan murmured unconsciously, "I'm so cold, I'm so cold, it's so cold in this palace..."
