I don't want to lose them, I really don't want to lose any of them.
Especially Dongfangluo, I don't want him to be harmed.
Because I can't give him love, I just want him to live well.
"Fang Luo, promise me, live well, live well, and don't put yourself in danger, okay?"
I looked at Dongfang Luo and said begging.
I really don't want his life to be in danger, and I really don't want anything to happen to him.
He hugged me and nodded heavily, which was considered another promise to me.
I know he will do what he promises, and I believe him.
"Ming Xi, I love you, I really love you."
The night before I fell asleep, I heard Dongfang Luo hugging me and saying, I smiled, very happily, but there was no response.
Three days later, I went to Hanshan Temple with the Queen Mother as requested by the Queen Mother. On that day Dongfang Luo sent his close aide Su Ke to follow me.
I knew he was worried that I would be in danger and asked Su Ke to follow me to protect me.
I also know that there is nothing good in the Queen Mother asking me to follow her to Hanshan Temple, but Dongfang Luo said something to the Queen Mother when we left. I believe that those words can make the Queen Mother change her mind even if she wants to harm me.
I clearly heard Dongfang Luo say to the Queen Mother: "Mother, Concubine Xi may already have your little grandson in her belly."
I don't know how tempting these words were to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother looked at me with a very deep look.
I didn't deny anything, I just smiled lightly at the Queen Mother, and then with Qiangwei's gentle support, the Queen Mother and I got into a carriage.
The Queen Mother and I were the only two people in the carriage, with the Queen Mother's personal maid serving us both.
"Are you pregnant?"
The Queen Mother looked at me and asked, and I said: "I am not sure, but after my menstrual period, the emperor summoned me several times."
I didn't say for sure that I was pregnant, and Dongfangluo didn't say clearly that I was pregnant, so that I could still have words to shirk the Queen Mother in the future, but now I have to contain the Queen Mother.
Afraid that she would ask the imperial physician to examine me, I deliberately made it vague and uncertain. Even if the imperial physician came, he would not be sure.
After I answered, the Queen Mother did not ask any more questions and just stared in my direction from time to time along the way.
I lowered my head, meditating, and deliberately ignored the Queen Mother's gaze.
If she doesn't talk to me, I won't talk to her, because she is not an 'old lady' who is easy to talk to.
