Cheng Ning turned over and opened his eyes in the dim light. The top of the tent was red.
Many times, when she first entered Linhua Palace and saw such a thick red color, she thought she was getting married.
They drank acacia wine in front of the mandarin duck brocade quilt, and they became husband and wife, loving each other with their husbands.
When marrying into an ordinary family, the bed curtains are painted in festive red and cannot be replaced until after the wedding period.
But she and Wei Yanzhou were not really married, let alone mutually supportive.
Wang Xi's voice was still ringing outside: "My Majesty, just because of our past friendship, please advise your majesty, please beg your Majesty."
There was a muffled sound, and he was probably kneeling down.
Chunhua came into the inner room, holding a candlestick and half-kneeling in front of Cheng Ning's bed.
She was worried and tucked Cheng Ning into bed.
From the moment Concubine Shu left Linhua Palace, she had been on tenterhooks, thinking that if such a commotion occurred, His Majesty would soon come to capture the concubine.
But after waiting for most of the day, until it was time to fall asleep, all I could do was wait for Wang Xi.
"Mother." Chunhua saw the dark blue under Cheng Ning's eyes and said distressedly: "Still can't sleep?"
That's right, it was difficult for Cheng Ning to fall asleep without anyone disturbing her. Chunhua would often come in to see her quietly at night, when everyone was awake.
I also looked for Meng Xin, but Meng Xin was also helpless.
"Yes." Cheng Ning stood up, her swollen belly flashing past her middle coat during the movement.
Chunhua knelt down and put on Cheng Ning's shoes.
"Do you want to go and have a look, Madam?"
Without getting to know him better, Chunhua inevitably had more complicated emotions towards Cheng Ning.
Since he wanted Cheng Ning to stay at Linhua Palace properly, everything could be done after the emperor's heir was born.
I also thought that these days would be long with no end in sight. If I had to live like this from now on, how could it not be painful to give birth to an heir?
But she couldn't say anything.
Cheng Ning sat by the bed for a while to relieve his severe headache, and then asked Chunhua to take the coat: "Go and take a look."
She didn't think she could persuade Wei Yanzhou, and she didn't understand why Wang Xi insisted on letting her go.
It's just drunk. With so many people in Qian Palace, it's not good for everyone to drink a bowl of sober soup.
When the sun rises tomorrow, he will still be the Nine Martial Supreme, and he will have to face the world of Jinyang.
But she didn't understand why Wei Yanzhou wanted to drink.
The door creaked, and moonlight poured in.
Wang Xi raised his eyes in surprise: "Empress!"
Chunhua supported Cheng Ning and was about to follow her out the door, but Cheng Ning pushed her hand away: "Chunhua stays in the palace."
"Your Majesty! I will go with your Majesty." Chunhua burst into tears: "I will accompany your Majesty wherever I go."
The panic and fear during this period, as well as the lingering fear that had always lingered in her after Ouyang Xi came during the day, all fell away at this moment.
Cheng Ning was pregnant, and she and His Majesty had been in such trouble before, and everyone could tell that the two of them had reached the end of their rope.
With the empress's temperament, the Cheng family is at risk of death. Every time she sees His Majesty, she is in more danger.
How could Chunhua feel relieved?
"Be obedient," Cheng Ning patted her on the head: "You can't help me if you go, so stay in the palace."
Wang Xi looked anxious and urged them together: "It's just a trip to Chengqian Palace. Once your majesty has been persuaded, you should come back and rest. I will send the empress back."
The chariot was ready, and he helped Cheng Ning sit on it.
Without Cheng Ning to let go, Chunhua couldn't follow him, and watched Bu Chai go out the door, turn a corner and disappear.
The whole journey was silent, and the headache was not relieved. Cheng Ning propped up his cheeks and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Seems to be rocking to sleep.
I had a vague dream, it wasn't anything unusual, just some bizarre past.
Most of them are horse racing, waving their whips and running wildly in the Gobi, the vast desert stretches as far as the eye can see.
When I woke up, I was walking outside Chengqian Palace.
Wang Xi stretched out a hand to support Cheng Ning. In fact, under the illumination of the palace lantern, it was clear that her face looked very bad.
"Your Majesty, why don't you call an imperial physician to come and take a look at you? Are you having a headache?"
"No need." Cheng Ning stepped into the hall.
Seeing her coming, all the people waiting outside the palace let out a long sigh of relief.
The palace behind was as bright as day, and there was a faint sound of broken porcelain falling to the ground.
I guess I drank a lot.
When the palace people faced Cheng Ning, they were all worried.
Concubine Shu's matter has caused a stir in the palace, and everyone knows that Concubine Xi in front of her either doesn't take action or has some sinister means.
But His Majesty still has no attitude. Whether he punishes or turns a blind eye is unclear.
He is still drunk in Chengqian Palace, and it is not clear who he is for.
All I know is that the prince and his father-in-law have great respect for her, and they are not something they can treat casually.
So when Cheng Ning approached, people were kneeling on the ground.
"Empress Jin An."
Cheng Ning ignored it and stood in front of the door: "Open the door."
Xiao Xiazi, who was closest, quickly stood up. The moment he opened the door, a wine bottle came towards him.
'boom! '
'Hey! '
The pieces of porcelain shattered all over the floor, hitting Xiao Xiazi on the forehead.
Then came the drunken and sinister roar: "Get out!"
"Your Majesty!" Wang Xi quickly protected Cheng Ning, fearing that another wine bottle would fly out and hit Cheng Ning: "It's Concubine Xi who is here!"
There was a strange pause inside for a long time, and then Wei Yanzhou's voice had a hint of hoarseness: "Get out."
Cheng Ning acted as if he hadn't heard anything and stepped in.
Chengqian Palace was in a mess, with almost no place to stay.
Broken porcelain from the wine bottle, memorials, and calligraphy from the study room.
And Wei Yanzhou, who was wearing a black dragon robe, was sitting on the ground, with his back against the dragon's golden pillar, and a wine bottle in his hand.
I don't know how much he drank, but judging from his state, he was very drunk.
It's not that Cheng Ning has never seen him drink before, it's just that he's never seen him drink in such a desperate way.
She hadn't seen this man in almost a month. His decadence, which should not belong to him, was clearly evident along with his drunkenness, and there was a layer of green stubble on his lips.
"Who asked you to come?" He leaned over and looked up at Cheng Ning, his gaze seemed to tear him apart - it was the kind of hatred.
Cheng Ning stood still in front of him, lowering his eyes with compassion but saying nothing.
"Wang Xi! Wang Xi!!" Wei Yanzhou shouted: "Who let you make your own decisions!"
Wang Xi knelt at the door, not daring to say a word.
"What are you going to make a fuss about now?" Cheng Ning finally spoke up: "You are using a kid's trick like drinking to make the whole palace uneasy. Wang Xi is worried about you."
"The entire palace belongs to me," Wei Yanzhou's gaze fell firmly on Cheng Ning's belly, his eyes red: "You have no control over what I want."
Yes, Cheng Ning has nothing to do with it.
She nodded and took a step back: "Then drink less, Your Majesty. Cheng Ning will leave."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without any attachment.
Wei Yanzhou's red eyes suddenly ignited with fire, and before Cheng Ning could take precautions, he had already stood up and pounced on him.
Due to being too drunk, Cheng Ning staggered. She couldn't withstand his strength and fell towards the broken porcelain on the ground——
