Cheng Ning's waist is so thin that it can be covered with a palm.
But it's still flat there now, and even though it's nearly three months, there's no sign of it showing up.
Cheng Ning guessed that Wei Yanzhou wanted a boy because she wanted one.
It's not that girls are bad.
Just think about it, if you are destined to be in the royal family in the future, grow up within the high walls of these nine palaces.
If it is a boy, he will naturally develop a pair of iron bones.
It's not like girls are weak.
Most girls do not have the opportunity to choose their future path. They have to live under constraints and cannot be happy for the rest of their lives.
But Wei Yanzhou said: "Everything is fine."
Cheng Ning didn't expect this answer: "Why?"
"The whole of Jinyang belongs to me. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will pave all the roads. There will be no choice between men and women."
He has the determination to look down on the world.
Very crazy and very arrogant.
Cheng Ning thought that maybe it was because Wei Yanzhou had made his own choices and had experienced living in this world without being blessed.
Therefore, he had planned everything well before he decided to have a child.
She was a little scared at this time.
If the child was gone that day, what kind of expression would Wei Yanzhou have?
She could tell that Wei Yanzhou really wanted this child.
Cheng Ning said without worrying about the child, "Ms. Xie, will you get into trouble if you go to war?"
"Isn't it too late for you to ask now?" Wei Yanzhou pinched her chin: "They want to have your idea, and I won't let it go."
So Xie Qingyi was killed directly in Linhua Palace, and the prime minister was deposed without any explanation.
Cheng Ning no longer wanted to think about what kind of chaos the previous dynasty would be like.
After so much, she could clearly see Wei Yanzhou's methods.
Perhaps in the eyes of the people, he still would not be a good emperor.
But he can control this court that has been eroded by aristocratic families, and he has his own methods.
The destruction of the Xie family was her goal.
Once the goal is achieved, the rest is not a problem for her to consider.
Sometimes I also want to ask Wei Yanzhou if it is hard. It would be better if they were complete enemies.
Today, Cheng Ning has become the person who has the least position.
Once Wei Yanzhou knew that she drank that cup of tea on purpose, she was taking the initiative to fall into Xie Qingyi's trap.
She valued the Cheng family more than him and her children.
Then everything they are trying to whitewash as peaceful will come to an end, and may change them beyond recognition.
Cheng Ning felt a little tired, maybe because he woke up for too long, or maybe because he always thought too much when facing Wei Yanzhou.
Wei Yanzhou saw her tiredness, so he laid her down on the pillow and covered her with a quilt: "Go to sleep."
The rain outside still hasn't stopped, and it's pouring down.
There seems to be no end.
The movement in the hall gradually disappeared, and the servants on duty in the corridor also muted their voices, except that the water level in the lotus pond in the courtyard rose high.
It's late at night.
The door to the side room was opened, and Chunhua stuck her head out, holding an oil-paper umbrella.
She held her breath, not daring to take a breath.
He closed the door, opened the umbrella, and went out through the side door.
The palace roads in the palace were complicated and extended in all directions. As Chunhua walked along the way, she encountered two groups of guards on night watch.
Someone recognized her: "Sister Chunhua, where are you going?"
The guards were only wearing raincoats, and raindrops fell on the ground. It was difficult to perform duty on such a rainy night.
"I'm going to Liyue Palace to pick up something for the empress. You all had a hard time working as errands at night."
Linhua Palace is now the most important palace, and Chunhua is also known to many people.
Almost everyone recognizes her wherever she goes.
So I simply didn’t cover up much and showed up openly.
Liyue Palace and Linhua Palace have always been on good terms, so no one would be suspicious if they said they were going to Liyue Palace.
"Sister Chunhua is the one who needs to be careful. There may be thunder this night. Sister, go and come back quickly."
The captain of the guard did not dare to obstruct or neglect him.
What's more, Chunhua is the eldest maid next to Concubine Xi. Wherever she goes, she will naturally be doing things for Concubine Xi.
As for what they were doing, they didn't dare to ask.
Chunhua bypassed them and continued to move forward, but the destination was not really Liyue Palace, but Fengluan Palace between Liyue Palace and Linhua Palace.
Fengluan Palace should have been tightly guarded and no entry or exit was allowed.
Chunhua stepped up the steps and was immediately stopped. The guard raised his knife to block her: "Miss Chunhua, stay here. Your Majesty has an order. Visitors to Fengluan Palace are strictly prohibited."
All in all, it was unusual for Chunhua to come to Fengluan Palace.
What's more, everyone knows the reason why Fengluan Palace was imprisoned. If letting her in, wouldn't it be equivalent to throwing in a thunderbolt?
"I came here on the order of Concubine Xi," Chunhua repeated anxiously what Cheng Ning said to her: "I am an upright person and I don't mean to kill anyone, but because of who suffered the troubles for the dragon heir in the concubine's belly, you guys You should know, right?"
of course I know.
Now that Long Si is the most important person in the palace, how could the guards not know about Cheng Ning Jingui.
But what Chunhua means now is that Concubine Xi is so angry that she wants the eldest maid to come and give the deposed queen some pain?
This... won't kill you, but will it cripple you?
The guard was in a dilemma: "Miss Chunhua, it's not that we won't let him go, but His Majesty has strict orders, you -"
"Your Majesty is pregnant and is a little angry. I came here in a grand manner today, isn't it because Your Majesty is not afraid that Your Majesty will know about it?"
Chunhua understood that Cheng Ning taught her to say this because Cheng Ning was not afraid of Wei Yanzhou's accountability at all.
What's more, Chunhua had a strange illusion that the empress seemed to be... a little intentional.
But Chunhua couldn't understand the deeper meaning hidden behind it.
Anyway, the spring rain splashed on the skirt, making it particularly cool.
After hearing this, the guard really hesitated.
Concubine Xi almost had a miscarriage and lost her child because of Concubine Hui.
The deposed queen also had many difficulties for Concubine Xi. Could it be that Concubine Xi did not deal with Concubine Hui personally and could not vent her anger, so she specially asked Chunhua to come and take revenge on the deposed queen?
His blocking movements became less firm.
She is just a waste queen. Even if she is killed by Concubine Xi, Your Majesty will probably not be really angry.
But if he blocks her too much, there is no guarantee that she will not offend Concubine Xi.
"It's up to you whether we let her go or not. In short, Concubine Xi is pregnant now, and even His Majesty is trying his best to please her. She is just a waste queen. If she can't die, it will already be an advantage to her."
Chunhua squeezed her palms and said this, feeling a little scared after all.
But she really didn't come here to thank Nianyao, but just for Tianxing.
Putting it this way, it seems that her mother-in-law is really an evil woman.
But the deposed queen was meant to die, and Chunhua had no time to sympathize with her.
"Then, Miss Chunhua, please hurry up. You guys still need to do business. I hope your Majesty... will be merciful."
Chunhua felt relieved: "I know, I won't make things difficult for you."
She stepped through the door and saw that Fengluan Palace was no longer as prosperous as before. It was quiet in the rain, like a haunted house.
Chunhua felt a chill in her heart. She stepped closer and whispered, "Sweet apricot, sweet—"
The voice paused silently.
