With a soft cry, the emperor woke up from his sleep. Brother Shuyan who was next to him also sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Ge Shuyan gently leaned on the Emperor's shoulder.
The emperor wiped his forehead and it was covered with sweat.
Just now...he had a strange dream.
"Your Majesty, I was dreaming just now, and you woke me up."
The emperor smelled the real fragrance emanating from Ge Shuyan's hair, and immediately felt relaxed and happy. He put his arms around Ge Shuyan and asked with a smile: "What did you dream about? Tell me."
"I told you, Your Majesty, you must not laugh at me."
"If you don't laugh or not, you tell me."
Ge Shuyan came out of the emperor's arms, opened his arms and hugged the emperor's neck, and said with a smile: "I just dreamed that I was admiring flowers in the yard. Suddenly there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and a golden dragon came towards me.
My stomach pounced..."
In an instant, the emperor's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"
"Nothing later. I was woken up by your Majesty." Ge Shuyan looked at the Emperor carefully and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, your face looks very bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable? I summoned the imperial physician.
Let me show you."
"It's okay...I'm okay. You are pregnant, so go to sleep."
The emperor covered his brother Shuyan with a quilt, and after watching her fall asleep, he got out of bed alone and stood by the window looking at the night sky in a daze.
The dream described by Ge Shuyan just now was exactly the same as his.
this……
A golden dragon!
The emperor remembered that ever since Ge Shuyan was diagnosed as pregnant by the imperial doctor, good news of a good harvest had spread from various places, and even a white crane was sent from one place.
Such auspiciousness seems to herald a good future for the country and the people.
The emperor looked back at Ge Shuyan, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Her sleeping face seemed to have a faint smile, and her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, making him feel very at ease just looking at her.
Early the next morning, after the morning court, the emperor returned to the harem to have breakfast with his brother Shuyan. When he walked to the imperial garden, he saw his brother Shuyan sitting in the pavilion.
"It's windy this morning, why are you outside?" The emperor hurried forward and held Ge Shuyan's hand distressedly, "What should I do if I catch a cold?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Compared to the ladies of the Central Plains, my health is many times better."
The emperor smiled and asked Ge Shuyan to sit down. He just liked Ge Shuyan's heroic temperament.
This is something that women from the Central Plains do not have.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is seeking an audience outside and has something important to report."
"Xuan."
Not long after, Xiao Yujue walked in under the guidance of the chamberlain.
"My sons and ministers see their father and the emperor, and they see their virtuous concubine and empress."
"Get flat."
"Thank you, Father."
Xiao Yujue stood up and was about to speak when she suddenly heard her brother Shuyan yelling, then she held her stomach and cried out that it hurt, and her face turned pale.
"My beloved concubine...what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, I am... I feel a pain in my stomach..." Ge Shuyan tightly grasped the Emperor's clothes, "Will our child be okay? Your Majesty..."
"No, no, no." The emperor nervously picked up his brother Shuyan and scolded, "Why are you still standing there? Tell the imperial doctor."
After that, he didn't care what Xiao Yujue wanted to do with him, and returned to the palace with his brother Shu Yan in his arms.
"His Royal Highness, it seems that the Emperor won't be able to spare time for a while, otherwise... you can go back first." The head chamberlain persuaded in a low voice.
Xiao Yujue hesitated to speak and nodded helplessly.
After the imperial doctor checked Shuyan's pulse, she just had fetal gas and she would be fine as long as she rested.
"Why did you have fetal convulsions after everything was fine?" The emperor sent the imperial doctor away angrily. Under Ge Shuyan's coquettish request, he stayed at Ge Shuyan's bedside all day long.
Xiao Yujue asked to see the emperor three times in succession but failed to see him.
On the other side, Shangguan Wan Ning, Huo Gang and Sun Jinyao have been tracing the whereabouts of their father, but they have always found nothing.
This made Shangguan Wan Ning stop thinking about tea and food.
"Ning'er, you haven't eaten all day. How can your body cope with this?" Sun Jinyao brought some light food to Shangguan Wan Ning, "Eat a little. I will continue to look for it with you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Yao."
The corners of Sun Jinyao's mouth raised, a faint smile appeared, and he touched Shangguan Wanning's head. "Silly girl, you are saying such things to me."
Outside the window, Mu Jingrui looked at Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wan Ning's intimate appearance, trying his best to hold back the anger that was about to explode at any time, clenching his fists.
Suddenly, Mu Jingrui's eyes were sharp and he turned around and saw Huo Gang walking over with a half-smile.
"It's not right for you to realize that I'm so close to you. If I wanted to plot against you just now, it would be easy for me to succeed."
Mu Jingrui was also surprised that his alertness could be so low.
He focused all his attention on Shangguan Wan Ning.
The person who should be by her side should obviously be him.
"Have you met the master and what did you talk about with him?" Huo Gang asked lightly.
Mu Jingrui didn't want to answer, glanced sideways at Huo Gang, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Actually, I can guess it even if you don't tell me. You definitely don't want me to prepare for the wedding of the eldest lady and Mr. Sun after he returns to Beijing."
Mu Jingrui stopped, snorted coldly, and stared at Huo Gang with sharp eyes. "Then what?"
"If the master refuses to agree, you will kill him. Do you think this story is reasonable?"
Huo Gang's words made Mu Jingrui's eyes gradually dim.
This really seems to be a very complete and reasonable story. However, the fact is...
"Go and explain to the eldest lady, I think she will understand."
Mu Jingrui gave Huo Gang a meaningful look.
Huo Gang seemed to be hinting that he was on his side.
Mu Jingrui went back to his room without saying a word.
In the dead of night, Shangguan Wan Ning was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
A black shadow flashed past and jumped in from the window.
Before Shangguan Wan Ning had time to shout for help, the other party popped something out of nowhere and touched her lightly, and she couldn't move.
She saw a man in black standing in front of her, and she held her breath nervously.
"Your father is in my hands."
The man in black's voice was hoarse, as if he was deliberately hiding his original voice.
His deep eyes looked at Shangguan Wanning, cold and dignified.
"Listen clearly, if you want your father to be okay, do two things for me. The first is, you are not allowed to marry Sun Jinyao."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat and immediately sank.
