My Lady is well

Chapter 116 Sincerity

Jing Ruzhang said coldly: "Do you think that I won't do anything to you just because you are pregnant?"

Although Shen Yueyao believed this in her heart, she still showed just the right amount of timidity on her face.

She coaxed him softly, "How could that be? I dare not think so."

He grabbed her face, staring at her with anger in his starry eyes, tightened his grip and brought her into his arms.

Shen Yueyao screamed in pain, and he stared down at her, his thin lips tightly pursed. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he questioned.

"Shen Yueyao, have you ever been sincere to me for a moment?"

Her brows were furrowed, and she reached out to pry his fingers apart. She could hear a hint of other emotions in his tone, but she didn't catch it.

She didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. Was he stimulated by this letter?

Not so much...

"Answer me!"

Shen Yueyao was forced to look directly into his eyes. She endured the slight pain in her jaw. She was forced to become rebellious and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't it good for us to just talk about romance? What do we need to do with sincerity?"

He looked at her, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. His eyes were bloodshot and his brows were filled with deep hostility.

Although he had expected the answer, he was unwilling to accept it and refused to give up. He always held on to a glimmer of fantasy, thinking that as time went on, she would always have some affection for him.

Now that it’s revealed, it was just wishful thinking on his part.

He slowly pulled his hand back, and his usually cold and arrogant voice became a little hoarse.

"What a romantic affair. My romantic affair doesn't have to be short-lived for you. Go back to your Yuntai Pavilion."

Shen Yueyao didn't expect that he would let her go back. She bowed slightly and walked out. When she reached the door of the hall, she heard him speak loudly again.

"Send Concubine Wen Shu to sleep with you."

Shen Yueyao paused slightly, glanced back with disgust, and quickly walked out of Zelu Palace.

Jin'er followed Shen Yueyao all the way, and seeing that she didn't say a word and just walked with her head down, she spoke weakly.

"master."

"What's the matter?"

Shen Yueyao said coldly.

"Why are you quarreling with the Emperor again?"

She didn't respond, but just lowered her eyes and focused on the road.

It was chilly at night. Shen Yueyao was in a hurry to go out and forgot to put on her cloak. She hugged her arms and felt a little cold.

Jin'er kept chattering along the way, but she didn't hear a word he said. She just felt her head buzzing and she felt inexplicably irritated.

But fortunately, I came back.

She suddenly felt a little homesick and wondered if she could go back in time. As long as she could complete the character's storyline, she should be able to, right?

She doesn't quite understand the meaning of her existence. She stays by Jing Ruzhang's side every day, but he doesn't even have a chance to see the heroine. How should the plot develop?

The plot here was no longer what she expected, and everyone's fate was changing.

According to the original plot, she should have been executed long ago.

Now not only is she not dead, she is also pregnant with the male protagonist's child. I don't know how long I can live?

She also wanted to see what her fate would be if she survived to the end.

Once there is any gossip in the palace, it will spread quickly throughout the harem in a secret way.

The next day, everyone knew that Concubine Shen had fallen out of favor.

Moreover, he was driven out of Zelu Palace by the emperor overnight.

Li Ning was the first to come to Yuntai Pavilion to watch the fun when he heard the news. He was quite disappointed to see that she was not as heartbroken as the rumors outside said.

"I originally wanted to come and see how miserable Lady Shen was, but I didn't expect you to be so leisurely and even play around with flower arranging."

Shen Yueyao sat on the soft chair, pinching the peach blossom in her hand with a serious look on her face.

"Flower arrangement? I don't know how to do that. I heard from Jin'er that she can make peach blossom cakes. I'll ask her to make some for me after my morning sickness subsides."

"It seems that I was overly worried. I thought the emperor had doted on you for such a long time, and you must feel disappointed when he loses his favor."

Shen Yueyao paused and threw the petals in her hand onto the table. She thought about her words carefully and sighed.

"If there is really a gap, there is. The food in Zelu Palace is better than that in Yuntai Pavilion. I didn't notice it before, but the vegetable steamed buns and porridge sent by the imperial kitchen this morning are not to my taste."

Li Ning picked up the teacup, blew away the tea foam leisurely and said.

"That's because they all know that you have fallen out of favor. People in the palace are used to flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak. Now, of course, they have to trample on you."

Shen Yueyao sneered: "I haven't done anything yet, why do I feel like I've been banished to the cold palace?"

Li Ning was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know what rumors people outside are spreading about you?"

Shen Yueyao raised her eyes and looked at her with a slightly puzzled look.

"Didn't you just say that? How else can you spread the news that you were kicked out of the Zelu Palace by the Emperor?"

"They all said that you were out of the palace for one night, and that the baby you were carrying was not a dragon heir. They said that the emperor was furious when he found out, and that's why he drove you out of the Zelu Palace."

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly and said with disdain.

"Then he was very generous not to kill me on the spot."

Shen Yueyao glanced at her and said, "Are you here so early in the morning just to laugh at me?"

"No, I'm just here to judge whether the rumor is true or not."

"..."

Jin Er came in and bowed, saying, "Master, Lady Meng and Lady Zheng are here."

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Please come in."

When Lady Meng and Lady Zheng came in and saw Li Ning was there, they were stunned for a moment and then bowed to her.

"I have met Concubine Li."

Li Ning said calmly: "We are all here to watch the fun, get up."

Shen Yueyao rolled her eyes at her. Lady Meng seemed to have not expected that the fairy-like Concubine Li would actually have such a hidden side.

Shen Yueyao looked at the uneasy expressions on their faces and glanced at Li Ning.

"Look at you, how scared have you made them both?"

Lady Meng waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, no, I'm not scared, I'm just a little surprised."

"It's been a long time since we last met, sisters. How are you, Sister Meng? How's your luck lately?" Shen Yueyao said with a smile.

Zheng Cairen hid her lips with a handkerchief and laughed secretly: "She almost lost Chengfeng Pavilion."

Shen Yueyao was slightly surprised when she heard this: "Oh? It seems like I've missed a lot of things these days."

Lady Meng glanced at Lady Zheng, and seeing that Concubine Li was present, she felt embarrassed to talk about those embarrassing things.

Quickly change the subject.

"I heard that the palace is going to host a banquet for the Beishuo envoys, and we can also watch Princess Beishuo dance."

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly and said, "Not all concubines can attend a banquet like this, right?"

Lady Meng thought that she felt she had fallen out of favor and was sad because she couldn't go, so she tried to comfort her.

"...Sister Shen, don't be sad. It's your cousin who doesn't know how to appreciate you."

Li Ning continued, "I heard that the emperor also ordered the world-famous painter Xie Lanci to paint for the palace banquet."

Shen Yueyao paused for a moment, thinking to herself, is he planning to do something weird again? !
