We all know the truth of risking death to survive.
If we remain in a stalemate, everyone will be wasted here, and it will be of no benefit to anyone.
Tianxing seemed to be frightened by Cheng Ning. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Ning. She didn't understand why there was such determination in her eyes.
Isn't the emperor's favor the best protection for the family?
Why does Cheng Ning seem to have no intention of taking advantage of this?
If it were Tian Xing, or any other woman, they would not understand the immensity of the emperor's grace.
To save the family, of course, the more favored you are, the better.
Whether pillow wind is useful or not depends on the person who blows it, doesn't it?
The Xie sisters couldn't see clearly how much Cheng Ning meant to the emperor, but Tian Xing could see it clearly.
Tian Xing didn't know what else to do besides caring about a man who wanted her to give birth to a child.
The longer the Cheng family's case drags on, the more proof it becomes that Wei Yanzhou doesn't dare to take action?
From love comes fear.
She didn't read much, but some simple and understandable feelings didn't require much reading.
"Your Majesty...do you have any backup plans?"
Cheng Ning did not answer the question and only said: "I will tell you everything clearly. I may not always be in the imperial city in the future. If you want to live in a good place, then I am not your best choice." .”
Whether she is pregnant or not, whether she is the person Wei Yanzhou cares about most, cannot cover up the affairs of the Cheng family.
With the whole body out, Tianxing has a better candidate.
Such as Ouyang Xi.
But Tian Xing still knelt upright: "My queen, if one day you leave the imperial city, Tian Xing is willing to follow you to the death. On New Year's Eve, it was not my intention to kill that palace maid."
"But in this palace, you can't survive without being ruthless, so, if there is a chance, I want to leave."
Every word she spoke was categorical.
From Cheng Ning's perspective, it didn't look like he was telling lies.
The little girl, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was with Xie Nianyao when she first entered the palace, and her cheeks still had baby fat that had not faded away.
As the queen's maid who grew up with her since she was a child, she has a bit of arrogance and arrogance about her.
In just half a year, she seemed to be a completely different person.
The baby fat has faded away, and her eyes are no longer as innocent and domineering as when they first met.
After passing through people and events, everyone will change. When Cheng Ning looked at her, she seemed to see herself in the mirror.
She has also lost her innocence and rashness, and now she relies on guessing and planning every step of the way.
"Then you go ahead and do it. I want to know as quickly as possible." Cheng Ning's eyes were a little sharper: "You can't alarm anyone, understand?"
"Yes, concubine."
Tian Xing kowtowed on the ground again before getting up and going out.
But the moment she opened the door, she turned back and said one more thing: "Since the empress knows about Mei Lu, she must take care of her body for the sake of the child."
child.
child.
Cheng Ning gently closed her eyes in the empty inner room. She caressed that spot so gently and cherishingly.
This will probably be her and Wei Yanzhou's only child.
She has been thinking about how she forced Wei Yanzhou to attack the Cheng family, and how she personally made Wei Yanzhou pour out the hatred in his heart.
…The right time may have come.
She didn't think for a long time when another person came outside the door.
Chunhua seemed to be a little concerned about Cai Cai's matter, and didn't look at Cheng Ning very much, but her attitude was the same as usual: "Mother, Concubine Shu is here."
It was so late and Ouyang Xi rarely visited Hua Palace.
When Cheng Ning got up and went out, Chunhua heard her whisper: "I don't know if she just met Tian Xing."
Tian Xing just walked less than half a cup of tea.
Linhua Palace and Fengluan Palace are on the same road, so it wouldn't be surprising if Ouyang Xi came across them.
But Chunhua didn't hear clearly: "What did the empress say?"
"fine."
Ouyang Xi stood in the yard and watched Huahua standing on the low palace wall, holding a piece of meat in her mouth and pecking at it.
Fascinating to watch.
The chirping of insects gradually sounded in the spring night, and it seemed a bit lonely in the silent night.
"Why is the imperial concubine here at this time?"
Hearing Cheng Ning's voice, Huahua was chewing slowly for a moment, then swallowed the rest in one gulp, flapping her wings and flew to Cheng Ning's shoulder.
Cheng Ning touched it and it whimpered softly.
"This little eagle has recognized its master so well," Ouyang Xi looked over with some envy, "The days in the palace are boring, but it is fun to have such a little thing by your side."
"Yes, wild birds are the most inhumane, but they are also the most interesting to tease."
Ouyang Xi approached and stretched out his hand a little freshly, also wanting to touch the flowers.
But Huahua has always kept strangers away except Cheng Ning. Even Chunhua, who feeds her meat, is patient and willing to be touched only occasionally.
He immediately pouted and wanted to flap his wings towards Ouyang Xi.
"It's so fierce." Ouyang Xi retracted his hand.
Then he seemed to have just remembered Cheng Ning's question: "It's nothing, I just feel a little restless today, and I can't eat dinner, so I went out for a walk and wandered over to your place. I won't disturb your meal." Bar?"
"Don't bother me. I just received a guest and didn't have time to use it. Why don't you have some at my place?"
Cheng Ning's expression did not change, and when he mentioned the guests, he just passed them by in a hurry.
Ouyang Xi was quite curious: "Besides me, are there any other sisters here? I just said your place is lively."
"No, Chunhua goes and arranges dinner."
Chunhua hurriedly entered the hall to organize things. At this time, she finally thought of what Cheng Ning had just said. What she said was: I don't know if she just met Tianxing.
A very strange sentence, like mumbling, but also like thinking.
She didn't want to talk anymore, and Ouyang Xi didn't ask again. She had always been like this, her thoughts were more delicate than ordinary people, and she had to be more self-respecting.
I shouldn’t have inquired, but I didn’t seem to ask more questions.
"His Majesty seems to be very busy with government affairs today. I went to deliver soup in the afternoon, but I didn't see anyone."
Cheng Ning took her into the palace and smiled lightly: "Yes, I sent people to invite him to come for dinner, but they said he was not available."
"I even declined your invitation?" Ouyang Xi climbed up the stairs and was slightly surprised: "I am usually a frequent visitor to your palace."
Chunhua is serving dishes, and the pear soup that has been simmering for an hour is fresh and sweet.
After dinner, Ouyang Xi didn't stay too long and returned to Liyue Palace.
Cheng Ning went to take a bath. When he got up from the bath, Chunhua took out a new middle coat, saying it was this year's spring style sent from the weaving bureau.
Made of pure silk, Wei Yanzhou said it was for Cheng Ning to wear when sleeping.
"Your Majesty treats your empress very well. This pure silk silk is not stuffy and sweaty at all. It is just right for wearing next to yourselves in spring."
There is a huge bronze mirror next to the bathtub, which outlines Cheng Ning's figure.
This middle coat was originally made of skin color, and now it was covering Cheng Ning's body, outlining the slight bulge in her lower abdomen.
It was only two and a half months at most, not the time to reveal her pregnancy, but looking at it now, she was shocked to realize that her body had changed unknowingly.
"Chunhua, remember to get up early tomorrow to harvest plum blossoms."
