...
Zhao Wujiang's eyes flickered, was Xuanyuan Jing shaken?
"I happen to have nothing to do in the palace, so I can handle it by myself."
Dugu Mingyue hummed softly. The soup in the bowl gradually became cold. She held the bowl and took a slow sip.
"Well..."
She held the decoction in her mouth, and the bitterness swept through her mouth for a moment. She frowned, but she swallowed it, and then took another sip.
After such a cycle, it took eleven full sips before all the soup in the bowl was drunk, and Dugu Mingyue also closed her eyes slightly and grimaced.
The empress was not far away and could smell the strong bitterness emanating from the soup. This bitterness had the bitterness of a mixture of many medicinal materials. She frowned.
"Mother, why don't you eat a piece of candy?" Qing'er pouted, her face full of distress.
"It's okay, it's not very painful..." Dugu Mingyue shook her head firmly:
"There is no sugar in the prescription. Manager Zhao said that sugar will weaken the properties of the medicine..."
I will think about improving the prescription... Zhao Wujiang said slightly sorry.
The empress' heart trembled. When Dugu Mingyue spoke, his watery eyes looked at her lower abdomen from time to time, which made her unable to help but feel touched.
At the same time, she became more entangled in her heart. Reason and emotion were intertwined, making her feel as if her chest was blocked by a huge stone.
"Your Majesty, can your Majesty please go out for a walk?" Qing'er's eyes were red and she pursed her red lips tightly:
"The empress has been staying in the palace all day and has not gone out for many days. I am worried..."
Qing'er couldn't help but say that she was loyal to Dugu Mingyue. Seeing Dugu Mingyue seclusion in Qifeng Palace all day long, depressed and forced to smile, her heart ached.
Now that the emperor is here, she hopes that the emperor can persuade the empress.
"Qing'er, I..." Dugu Mingyue said tremblingly, she wanted to say that she was fine.
"Queen, follow me for a walk."
The empress's mind was surging, and the entanglement in her heart was turning the world upside down. She also wanted to take a walk to relax her mind.
Dugu Mingyue's beautiful eyes trembled and filled with water, and she murmured:
"emperor..."
After becoming pregnant, Dugu Mingyue became fragile and sensitive.
...
Autumn Water Garden.
Qiushui Garden is extremely famous in the harem. Different from other gardens of grass, flowers and trees, Qiushui Garden is a small lake.
Every day under the setting sun, the lake in the Autumn Water Garden changes with the afterglow and becomes sparkling, like a pool of autumn water.
Every time you walk along the shore, the breeze blows and the reeds are floating all around, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the mood is naturally much better.
The empress and Dugu Mingyue were walking side by side by a pool of autumn water. The two of them didn't say much and occasionally asked each other questions.
Zhao Wujiang had a faint smile on his lips, and Qing'er followed not far behind.
He could feel that the coldness when the Empress came had slowly melted away, proving that the Empress was also shaken in her heart.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps as weak as a mosquito, and Zhao Wujiang's ears trembled slightly. He had practiced the Vajra Indestructible Magic, all his acupoints were open, all seven souls were fully opened, and his perception was extremely sensitive.
He followed the footsteps and saw a figure protruding from the reeds not far away. He raised his hand and threw two sharp objects towards the empress and Dugu Mingyue.
"Danger!"
Zhao Wujiang roared loudly, flipped his left hand, and with the silver needle in his hand, he used the Taiyi Xuan Needle, and the silver needle whizzed towards the figure protruding from the reed swamp.
When the empress and Dugu Mingyue heard the sound, they were both confused.
Dugu Mingyue had sharp eyes and pushed the empress beside him away. She also stepped back due to the force, and the two sharp objects sank into the crook of her left leg and the thigh of her right leg in an instant.
She was immediately in pain, staggered and fell backwards into the lake.
"Plop!"
Zhao Wujiang strode towards the empress and Dugu Mingyue. The empress also reacted. Her eyes were red. When she saw Dugu Mingyue falling into the lake and struggling, she was so anxious that she couldn't care less and jumped down.
"Puff!" She swam towards Dugu Mingyue, who was struggling and sinking to the bottom of the water.
Qing'er was anxious and screamed. She looked around hurriedly and saw that the figure in the reeds had disappeared. Zhao Wujiang ran desperately towards the pool of autumn water.
Her body trembled, she quickly came to her senses, and ran out to call for help.
The water in the early autumn pool was already slightly cold to the bones. The empress grabbed Dugu Mingyue's hand in the water and pulled it upward.
Dugu Mingyue grasped at straws and began to pull at the empress's clothes. Cold water poured into her mouth and nose. She whimpered incoherently and murmured something desperately.
The empress hugged her waist and swam toward the shore, hearing muddy and dreamlike murmurs in her ears.
"Child...child..."
That was the voice that Dugu Mingyue repeatedly murmured before falling into coma.
The empress' heart was touched, and she felt as if she had done something wrong.
The cold pool water soaked their bodies, and the cold air eroded their minds.
The empress felt that her strength was a little weak. Her clothes had been torn apart by Dugu Mingyue, and the bandage wrapping her chest had also come apart.
Zhao Wujiang jumped into the water and hugged her and Dugu Mingyue's bodies.
"ah!"
Zhao Wujiang stepped on the surging water, his acupoints were moving, his martial arts cultivation spread, he jumped up and stepped heavily on the shore.
