Yun Ziyou abdicated and silenced the public. In this way, the old prince had the strength to clean up the court. The status of the Wei family was in jeopardy. No emperor would leave any hidden dangers that would be detrimental to him.
He must go to the palace. If the Wei family really alarms his father, even if Yan Xiaoyu is a cat with nine lives, he will definitely die.
When the ghost woman arrived at Jingfeng Palace, Yan Xiaoyu was drinking the medicine with an expressionless face. The bitter concoction was sipped between her lips, and she tasted the taste and swallowed it.
She wanted to remember this kind of bitterness for the rest of her life, so she drank it slowly, savoring every sip and every drop.
When the bowl of medicine bottomed out, she calmly looked up at the hag, whose eyes were shining brightly, "Ziyou really cares about you. He made me swear today that he will never interfere with your diet in the future."
Yan Xiaoyu didn't say anything. She knew that there would be a prelude to what they said, and only then would the focus of their words come.
Sure enough, the ghost woman spoke again, "The Wei family has made some moves now. I'm afraid they will hurt Ziyou, but the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Jinhan, has always obeyed Xiao Ninglan..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Xiaoyu interrupted expressionlessly, "Child."
She only said two words, and the ghost woman frowned, "What's wrong with the child?"
"I'll abort the child in my belly, and he'll help you settle the Wei family, and you can cure the other half of the poison in Xiao Ninglan's body..." Yan Xiaoyu spoke calmly, keeping her hands pressed on her abdomen.
"How presumptuous!" The ghost woman was furious and looked at Yan Xiaoyu coldly, "I don't believe in things that don't know how to praise. With you in my hands, Xiao Ninglan still refuses to obey orders!"
Yan Xiaoyu sneered, "I am no longer the Yan Xiaoyu I used to be, and Xiao Ninglan will not be coerced by you. At most, I will not let the child in my belly be born even if I die!"
The ghost woman's hands trembled with anger, and she raised her hand, wanting to hit Yan Xiaoyu, but she was concerned about the fetus in her belly, so she endured it for a long time, and finally put her hand down.
She made a cold sound and left angrily.
The ghost woman's voice came from outside, instructing the guards, "Keep an eye on the Queen and don't allow her to talk to anyone. Any strangers who approach Jingfeng Palace will be killed first and then reported!"
The guard responded, and the hag left, the ink-black shadow blending into the darkness.
Yan Xiaoyu just sat blankly, looking at her bulging belly with an expressionless face.
The row of palace maids next to her removed the porcelain utensils for using medicine. Yan Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, looked at the palace maids and said, "You all go down, I want to rest."
"Your Majesty, the witch has ordered us to keep an eye on you at all times!" The palace maid lowered her head and looked at her respectfully.
Yan Xiaoyu sneered, stood up, and walked towards her bedroom, followed by four palace ladies on the left and right.
The gauze vines blown by the wind swayed from side to side. Yan Xiaoyu turned around and said, "Go and close the windows."
She ordered coldly, but found that the four palace maids were already stationed there, with different expressions on their faces, as if they had been immobilized. She slowly walked towards the palace maids, and then saw Xiao Ninglan appearing behind the palace maids.
Xiao Ninglan is as thin as ever. He is a lot darker and his hair has grown a lot longer. The wisp of black hair on his forehead looks simple yet shockingly beautiful on his thin face.
This man seemed to be the darling of God. Even though he was wearing the most ordinary coarse linen clothes, the noble temperament exuding from his body was really hard to ignore. He stood behind the palace maid and looked at her, his deep and dark eyes full of emotion. He looked at her with a complicated expression.
As if a century had passed, Yan Xiaoyu had been approaching him unknowingly. As if she was in a dream, she couldn't help but caressed his thin cheek. She looked up at him, her clear eyes without any impurities.
.
Xiao Ninglan let her touch him, stretched out her hand to cover the cold hand on her cheek, and her hoarse voice overflowed from her thin lips, "Yu'er..."
This sentence seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his life and was squeezed out from his heart and lungs through countless hardships.
Yan Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at him steadily without saying a word.
At this time, there was no sound, but Sheng had a sound. Xiao Ninglan had completely understood. He gently pulled her into his arms, his phoenix eyes filled with water, "Yu'er, come with me, okay?"
Yan Xiaoyu shook her head, she had already come this far, how could she follow him?
"Yu'er, if you stay in the palace any longer, you will be in danger. Let's leave together, okay? No matter if it's three years or five years, one month or two months, being together lasts forever. Let's go, okay?"
"He held her cheek and looked at her deeply, his burning eyes full of prayer.
Yan Xiaoyu still shook her head and wanted to speak, but found that her soft lips were as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and she could not open her mouth. Her eyes fell on her swollen belly, and her tears fell like broken beads.
"Fool, don't cry. Didn't you tell me before that that kind of thing was nothing in your era?" Xiao Ninglan kissed the tears on her cheeks and couldn't help but sigh.
The voice of a guard sounded outside, "Queen, Queen, are you in there? We are going in..."
Yan Xiaoyu was horrified and pushed Xiao Ninglan in panic. Xiao Ninglan held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. If the worst happens, I will kill you."
Yan Xiaoyu kept shaking her head and frantically looking for a place for Xiao Ninglan to hide. The guards could not get her reply and rushed in.
Xiao Ninglan raised her hand to untie the acupuncture points of the four palace ladies with their backs to him. Yan Xiaoyu quickly pulled Xiao Ninglan behind the screen and winked at him.
The guards rushed into the inner hall and found that the four palace ladies just turned their heads. The eldest palace lady Ruyi said in a sharp voice, "Empress, who were you talking to just now?"
Yan Xiaoyu's expression did not change and she said coldly, "I didn't speak just now."
"I clearly heard a man's voice." Ruyi looked at her suspiciously, walking around her.
After hearing this, the guards had already begun to search the inner hall. They searched every possible place from the bed to under the bed, to the cupboards and wooden cabinets, and even to the roof beams. Unfortunately, there was no trace of anyone.
Yan Xiaoyu's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. She slowly walked to the messy bed and sat down, "Have you finished searching?"
