Lin Lichun frowned when he saw Lin Xiaoxue's eyes filled with hatred and her mouth bursting into laughter.

He negotiated with the Royal Forest Army.

Shut away all those guarding Lin Xiaoxue.

He walked slowly to the prison van, lowered his voice, and looked at Lin Xiaoxue who was still laughing crazily.

"You have fallen to this point, and you still don't repent, and you still only resent others!"

"Grandma is right, you are an ungrateful person. No matter how good I treat you, it won't warm your heart. You will always feel that others owe you something!"

"And the only person who truly owes you anything in your life is the man in the prison van in front of you."

"And that man was the one you begged and insisted on getting close to."

"For a man like that, you almost sacrificed the lives of our entire Lin family."

"We, the Lin family, are extremely loyal to you. Why do you look at me with such hateful eyes?"

"Bah!" Faced with Lin Lichun's question, Lin Xiaoxue put away her crazy smile and spit.

She wanted to spit all over Lin Lichun's face.

But it was because of the muscle softening powder he took.

The spitting force was not strong enough, and the moment the saliva came out, it fell on her own clothes.

She lowered her eyes.

Looking at the drool on her clothes, a deep feeling of powerlessness enveloped her whole body.

At the moment, she was in a situation where she was being controlled by others. She was filled with hatred and resentment. She couldn't even spit at the person she disliked, let alone have the chance to curse him.

When will this kind of life where life is worse than death end?

She tried to ram her head against the prison van with all her might, but none of her strength could sustain a single blow.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Lin Lichun with pleading eyes, wanting him to give her a quick death.

Understanding the pleading look in Lin Xiaoxue's eyes, Lin Lichun recalled the past when they grew up together, and finally showed sympathy.

"It is impossible for you to survive the crime of treason you committed. But I will try to plead with the emperor and let him give you a quick death!"

Lin Xiaoxue's eyes were dull for a moment, revealing a hint of hope.

Lin Lichun sighed softly: "Don't hold your hopes too high. Whether it can be accomplished depends on the Emperor's will!"

Under the apricot tree in the imperial garden, Ji Shen was wearing a dragon robe and holding a long sword, the tip of the sword drawing graceful arcs in the air.

The apricot flowers fell gently with the sword wind and landed on the tips of his hair and shoulders.

He glanced at the only spectator under the apricot tree.

Lin Lixia gently stroked her bulging belly with a happy smile on her face.

Her gaze passed through the gaps in the apricot blossom rain and fell on Ji Shen who was dancing with a sword.

The palace servants around were busy with their own work, but their eyes couldn't help but steal a glance at the two of them.

At this time, a eunuch hurried over and saw the emperor dancing with a sword, and was about to say something but stopped himself.

Sensing that the eunuch's expression was not right, Lin Lixia sat upright and raised her eyes to look at the eunuch.

"What's the matter?"

"Reply to the Queen!" The eunuch said respectfully: "Lord Luo and General Lin are asking for an audience!"

"Which General Lin?" Lin Lixia's eyes were filled with anticipation, but she was also afraid that her expectations would be dashed: "Is it my second brother who has returned?"

"That's right!" the eunuch said.

Ji Shen put away his sword. He handed the sword to the waiting eunuch.

Walk towards Lin Lixia.

He just happened to hold Lin Lixia firmly, who had just stood up.

"Empress, you are not feeling well, don't worry. I will send them to the Imperial Garden!"

After a while, the eunuch led Luo Zibo and Lin Lichun, who had just returned, to the imperial garden.

Lin Lichun's eyes widened in shock when he saw his sister's bulging belly.

"Xia..." As soon as he opened his mouth to call his sister by her nickname, Luo Zibo pulled his sleeves hard.

Lin Lichun recovered and knelt down with a respectful look on his face.

"The humble minister pays homage to the emperor, and pays homage to the empress..."

"Second brother!" Lin Lixia interrupted Lin Lichun, held her stomach and walked up to the two men, just about to reach out to help them up.

Ji Shen, however, took a step ahead of her and said, "Two beloved ladies, please be equal!"

Seeing that Lin Lixia was inconvenienced, Luo Zibo pulled Lin Lichun and stood up quickly.

They were afraid that Lin Lixia would get a miscarriage in the process of helping them up.

Lin Lichun stared at his sister's belly with eyes wide open: "Queen..."

"Second brother, when you call me like that, it feels like we are becoming strangers!" Lin Lixia tugged at Ji Shen's sleeve while speaking.

Ji Shen understood what Lin Lixia meant and looked at Lin Lichun: "Lord Lin, you and the queen are siblings, so just call them as you did in the past."

Hearing the emperor speak, Lin Lichun breathed a long sigh of relief: "Xia Xia, how many months old is the child?"

"More than eight months!" Lin Lixia stroked her belly with a gentle smile on her face.

Last year, they took Dr. Shen's medicine to recuperate their health, and they became pregnant after the Hungry Ghost Festival.

"Counting the time, the child will be born around my twentieth birthday!"

"Then I have to prepare two birthday gifts!" Lin Lichun smiled with his teeth bared.

Lin Lixia smiled and said: "Second brother, you returned to Beijing and went directly to the palace? Or?"

"Go back to the palace first!" Lin Lichun grinned and bared his teeth: "But your second sister-in-law brought the child to pick me up at the city gate!"

"Did you tell me earlier?" Lin Lixia smiled and said, "The emperor and I will also go to the city gate to pick you up."

"Your second sister-in-law sent a letter saying that you were not feeling well, and I was afraid that you would come to pick me up! That's why I didn't tell you!"

Lin Lichun looked at the apricot blossoms all over the ground and was a little surprised: "Why have all the apricot blossoms fallen?"

Lin Lixia smiled and looked at Ji Shen and said, "The emperor was just giving the child prenatal education, and the apricot blossoms were knocked off by the emperor's sword energy."

"......" Lin Lichun widened his eyes, looked at Lin Lixia, and then at the emperor.

"Xia Xia, what is prenatal education?"

"The Emperor is just showing us how to dance with the sword to cultivate this child's interest in martial arts!"

"..." Lin Lichun swallowed hard, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

His sister actually asked the emperor of Longlin Kingdom to show her how to dance with a sword, and he even called it prenatal education?

He looked at Luo Zibo in disbelief, and the two of them looked at each other and then looked away.

The eunuch next to him was holding a sword in his hand and had no time to put it away.

Luo Zibo's body trembled slightly. Looking through the history books of Longlin Kingdom, his cousin was definitely the first one who dared to let the emperor dance with a sword.

At this time, Taofu came out holding a book with a respectful look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, it's time to recite the Three-Character Sutra to Your Highness again!"

"Present it!" Ji Shen helped Lin Lixia sit back on the chaise longue, took the book, and started reading regardless of the shocked looks of Luo Zibo and Lin Lichun.

Lin Lichun and Luo Zibo looked at each other and stared at Lin Lixia with wide eyes.

Halfway through reciting the Emperor's Three-Character Sutra, Lin Lixia had already closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Lichun swallowed hard and was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

His sister not only asked the emperor to dance with a sword, but also asked him to recite the Three Character Classic to put her to sleep.

If this continues, won’t she become a demon queen who brings disaster to the country?

Does he want some advice?

Lin Lichun looked at a loss as he looked at Luo Zibo who was also shocked.

Luo Zibo took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to advise, he was stopped by a look from the emperor.

He quickly shut up.

The only sound in the air was the emperor's pleasant voice reciting the Three Character Classic in a low and gentle voice.

After reciting a three-character sutra, Ji Shen pulled the blanket to the sleeping Lin Lixia.

He stood up and motioned to Lin Lichun and Luo Zibo to follow him.

Take a few steps away.

It would not disturb the sleeping Lin Lixia, but he could also see her.

"My dearest ladies, the queen has been very sleepy these days. Please speak in a lower voice for a while."

Luo Zibo: "..."

Lin Lichun: "..."
