My Lady is well

Chapter 179 Return to the Palace

He said he would promise her a life without worries?!

But why? Is it because she gave birth to a prince for him?

Is she going to become more honored because of her son, as the legend goes?

Even such a serious crime, he could cover it for her? Wouldn't those censors have to spit at him?

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind as quickly as lightning, and she stared at him closely without blinking.

Looking at her peach blossom eyes that were filled with love, he raised his hand and lightly touched the tip of her small nose.

"Don't you understand? I will never break my promise. What about you? Shen Yueyao, I want to ask you, why did you rush to me and block the sword for me that day?"

Shen Yueyao looked at him with her eyes wide open, so he thought that she was willing to rush forward to block the arrow for him? !

So, he is grateful to her now?

Shen Yueyao gasped. She had planned everything but never expected it to be because of this.

Her eyes wandered over his handsome face, and his originally cold eyebrows became particularly focused at this moment, as if he wanted to take in all her expressions. The depths of his eyes were gleaming with anticipation, sparkling brightly.

Shen Yueyao was extremely clear-headed at this moment. If she admitted it, she could gain temporary peace.

When the lie is exposed one day, it will only put her in a more embarrassing situation.

So, she decided to confess.

Shen Yueyao looked at him and said seriously.

"Your Majesty... Actually that day..."

"Your Majesty, it's time to set off."

Jiang Ye urged loudly outside the door, interrupting Shen Yueyao's words.

"Wait." Jing Ruzhang said coldly.

"Yes."

Shen Yueyao was interrupted by his sudden voice, and all her courage was lost.

"You go on."

She was unsure and slowly lowered her eyelashes, saying guiltily.

"That day...I was pushed out by someone."

Her voice was so low that it seemed as if only she could hear it.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long while, she was not sure whether he had heard her or not, but she didn't have the courage to say it again.

I slowly raised my eyelids to look at him, just missing the moment of darkness in his eyes.

Jing Ruzhang reached out and slowly pulled out the rice paper from under her pillow, frowning slightly, and flipped open a few pages, which were covered with bright red seals. Some of them were crooked, as if they were printed in a panic.

He sneered coldly.

"You prepared so much?"

Shen Yueyao's eyebrows flickered slightly, still wondering whether he heard what she just said, and answered casually.

"The emperor's seal is so useful, I thought of leaving some for my child in the future."

"Heh, you're planning to leave it to Zhengyao."

She immediately realized that she had accidentally told the truth.

Jing Ruzhang glanced outside the house, and seeing that there was no time to delay any longer, he said calmly.

"I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

He called someone in to help her change her clothes, and he stood by Daoyun's window looking at the slightly desolate courtyard in late autumn.

In fact, he heard clearly what she said just now, and he was clear about his own feelings. For a moment, he even hoped that she could lie to him.

But she refused.

But what does it matter? He insisted.

Time is long and he is in no hurry.

Perhaps Shen Yueyao also understood some other emotions from his serious eyes just now, but the emperor's love was too heavy, she knew she couldn't afford it, so she didn't dare to think about it.

The maid dressed her up, a light misty satin skirt. She had just given birth and her body was still weak, so it was not suitable for her to be exposed to the wind, so Jin'er took out a green feather cloak and covered her with it.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Jing Ruzhang walked over and picked her up, looking at the slightly surprised expression of the person in his arms.

"What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't hugged me before."

Shen Yueyao knew that it was not up to her to return to the palace or not, so she just lowered her eyes, glanced at the gold embroidery on his lapel, turned her head away, and said nothing more.

Jing Ruzhang carried her out of the house. Shen Yueyao glanced at the huge group of black-armored guards and saw several prisoner cars behind them, including Qi Feng.

Finally, he was caught.

Shen Yueyao glanced back with complicated eyes.

She was carried into a spacious carriage with a small couch and brocade curtains on it, making it airtight.

Jing Ruzhang gently placed her on the small couch, which was very soft, like being in a brocade cloud.

"Where is the child?" Shen Yueyao asked.

"With the nurse."

"Wet nurse?" Shen Yueyao was a little surprised, but she understood immediately.

The princes in the palace all have their own wet nurses, and the concubines do not need to be breastfed.

She was still a little worried: "The emperor brought his wet nurse with him when he left the palace?"

"No, you found it in the city after giving birth yesterday. I have checked it carefully and there is no problem. You can rest assured and get well. We will discuss other matters when we return to the palace."

Shen Yueyao just nodded slightly, turned sideways and faced away from him.

The carriage rocked and swayed, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

She woke up on the dragon bed in the Zelu Palace. When she opened her eyes, she saw lights on in the palace and the palace maids helped her up.

When Luo Zhong saw her, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits from smiling.

"Empress Chen, you are finally awake. Are you hungry? Eat something quickly."

Shen Yueyao felt so hungry that she felt dizzy and had no strength left in her body.

She was helped by the palace maid to sit down at the food table. She looked around the hall and found that nothing had changed here, it was still the same as when she left.

Luo Zhong stood behind her and smiled.

"Empress Chen, you are finally back. You didn't know that after you left, the Emperor didn't return to Zelu Palace."

Shen Yueyao didn't want to eat greasy food, so she just scooped a bowl of white porridge and started eating it by herself.

After hearing Luo Zhong's words, he paused slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Then where does he live?"

Luo Zhong sighed distressedly and said, "Alas, there is no place to live, so I live in the Imperial Study. When I get tired of reviewing memorials, I just stay in the Imperial Study."

"Oh, there is a bedroom over there in the imperial study. I...I think it's not bad."

Luo Zhong smiled helplessly and said, "How can it be compared with the Zelu Palace?"

"Thank you for your concern, eunuch. If the emperor feels wronged and cannot get used to living here, he will return to Zelu Palace."

"..."

Luo Zhong was stunned. This Empress Chenfei really hasn't changed at all. She doesn't feel sorry for the Emperor at all. It's a pity that the Emperor has been worried about her for such a long time.

No, the Emperor would definitely not tell Empress Chen about the suffering he has endured these days.

He must explain the reasons to her and appeal to her emotions so as to convey the Emperor's wishes to Empress Chenfei.

"Oh my, Empress Chen, you don't know that the Emperor has been worried day and night since you were kidnapped. This assassin is so cunning that he can even copy the Emperor's handwriting, and the seal is imitated like the real thing. Lord Jiang couldn't tell the real thing at first, but the Emperor saw it at a glance..."

Cough cough--

Shen Yueyao was choked by the porridge and coughed heavily several times.

Luo Zhong asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Empress Chen?"

Shen Yueyao waved her hands repeatedly, thinking secretly in her heart.

He... didn't even tell anyone about this!
