Mo Xiao had been in a daze all day. Even the court officials who came to discuss matters with him noticed that something was wrong with him, but they all thought it was because he was too tired and tried to persuade him to take a good rest.

In the evening, Concubine Shun came.

After she went back that day, she was worried, fearing that Mo Xiao was really heartless and refused to give the Zhou family a way to survive. Mrs. Zhou would not be fooled by that time. After waiting and waiting until this afternoon, I heard the news that His Majesty actually pardoned the Zhou family's sins and allowed her father to return home safely. Only her eldest brother is still detained, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhou Ruo was overjoyed, thinking that Mo Xiao had done something arrogant for her sake, and she was really grateful. Therefore, in the evening, I personally made some drinks and brought them to Yinghua Palace, hoping to thank Mo Xiao in person.

With her current status and the 'dragon fetus' in her belly, it is not difficult to enter the Yinghua Palace, and the eunuch guarding the door will not embarrass her.

But today, the person guarding the door stopped in front of her and said ruthlessly: "My queen, please come back."

Zhou Ruo was a little surprised: "Your Majesty is not inside?"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to see you," the eunuch said bluntly, "His Majesty also said that your Majesty should not come to Yinghua Palace in the future, because he doesn't want to see you."

Zhou Ruo: "..."

Zhou Ruo was so shocked that he lost his words for a moment and didn't know what to say.

She is now... the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is still pregnant with a child. What does Mo Xiao mean by saying this at this time?

Zhou Ruo was panicking. He raised his hand and pulled out the golden hairpin from his head and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand. He asked softly, "Did something happen? Please tell me something, father-in-law."

The eunuch glanced at the gold hairpin in his hand. No one could be seen on the left and right, and he quickly put the gold hairpin into his sleeve.

"His Majesty was fine yesterday. But this morning his expression was different. He kept away from strangers all day. Madam, you'd better not get into trouble with His Majesty. Go back and take good care of your baby."

Zhou Ruo: "What happened?"

"This is not something that we slaves should inquire about," the young eunuch whispered, "His Majesty, listen to my slave's advice and go back first. It's not like you don't know the temper of our Majesty."

Zhou Ruo pursed his lips, turned around and left Yinghua Hall.

As she walked back, she reviewed in her mind what had happened from yesterday to today. After thinking about it, she did not expect anything special to happen. The only thing that was special was probably at the entrance of Yinghua Palace. I bumped into Princess Chen Yuan.

When he thought of Princess Chen Yuan, Zhou Ruo stopped instantly.

She remembered the way Chen Yuan looked at her yesterday, and the sinister look she stared at her belly...

Zhou Ruo grabbed Cuiping's arm and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask your cousin to come over. I have something to ask him."

Cuiping was stunned: "Isn't it appropriate at this time?"

"Go quickly!" Zhou Ruo said sharply.

She has a very important question, and only Zhou Chen can help her answer this question.

Cuiping saw that her expression was wrong, so she ignored the rules and turned around to find Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen still had some affection for this cousin, so Cuiping came to see Zhou Ruo after Cuiping invited her.

When Zhou Ruoyi saw Zhou Chen, he didn't even have time to say hello and went straight to the point: "Cousin, how much do you know about Princess Chen Yuan?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Why did you ask about her?"
