The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Although Meng Wenyao had never been afraid of him since he met him, he did not dare to bet. He was not sure that Meng Wenyao could still get along with him calmly after seeing him kill people with his own eyes.

He didn't want to ruin the image in her mind, and didn't want her eyes to be filled with fear. He looked at his hands, clenched his fists and unclenched them, repeated several times before completely relaxing.

The emperor walked out of the shadows, walked to the door, and stared at Meng Wenyao nervously.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Wenyao heard his voice hoarse, as if he was suppressing something, and his expression was no longer as gentle as usual.

The moment the candle went out, she seemed to see the queen inside. She took a deep breath and pretended not to know anything.

"I woke up and didn't see the emperor, so I was a little scared."

Her voice was as charming as ever, and she stretched out her hand to the emperor like a coquettish woman.

The murderous intention on the emperor gradually dissipated, he took two steps forward, hugged Meng Wenyao in his arms, and walked back to the main hall with her in his arms.

The moonlight was bright and clear, as bright as day. Meng Wenyao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep after all this tossing.

She and the emperor stayed together every day, knowing that the emperor did not favor the queen at all.

Today in the main hall, when the news came that the Queen was pregnant, the faces of the Emperor and the Queen Mother almost made it clear that there was something wrong with the Queen's pregnancy.

Thinking of the scene he just saw, Meng Wenyao concluded that the queen was probably locked there. Was the emperor planning to kill the queen himself?

"Your Majesty, do you want to execute the Queen privately?"

After much hesitation, she still asked. The Queen's crime could not be revealed. As a man, the Emperor certainly could not bear such a thing.

The emperor's big hand patting Meng Wenyao's back paused for a moment, and then continued patting.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

He had a murderous intention just now and really wanted to kill the queen immediately. Now that Meng Wenyao knew about it, he couldn't kill her at will, otherwise she might think he was an indiscriminate killer.

He didn't want Meng Wenyao to look at him like others, he wanted the people in his arms to be on his side, understand him and support him.

He suddenly turned over and looked at Meng Wenyao condescendingly.

"Are Yao'er afraid?"

The moonlight from the window shone in, half of the emperor's face looked pale in the moonlight, and half of his face looked cold in the shadows.

Meng Wenyao was trapped in this world by her, and her warm breath sprayed on her face, making her feel a little hot.

"I'm afraid, the imperial doctor said it's dangerous for me to sleep with you for less than three months."

The emperor froze. That was not what he was asking. He wanted to know if Yao'er was afraid of him killing someone.

That's all, he doesn't want to know anymore, his Yao'er brain cannot be compared to ordinary people's.

"Your Majesty, do you have to kill the queen? Will the courtiers think that I am a demon concubine and encourage you to kill the queen?"

The emperor held Meng Wenyao in his arms again and helped her tighten the quilt.

"I know that I will not kill her easily and will not let Yaoer's reputation be damaged."

"Before, the queen said that I could not touch women because of the rumors spread by the queen mother, who poisoned the women I touched. She also mentioned the child we passed away, and I was so angry that I wanted to kill her."

Sure enough, the emperor was not cursed. All this turned out to be the Queen Mother's conspiracy. Unexpectedly, the old witch had a very big idea and deceived the people of the world for so many years without revealing any flaws.

"Your Majesty, you can ask the Queen to testify against the Queen Mother. The Emperor will be able to wash away the curse and the world will know the Queen Mother's face."

"I don't care about the curse on me, or whether I can touch other women. It's enough for me to have Yaoer."

The two hugged each other tightly, and Meng Wenyao knew that the emperor was serious. After so many years, even if the rumors were explained clearly, he was no longer the same person as before, and he no longer had the urge to choose concubines with high spirits.

Times have changed and he has gone through hardships. What he wants now is to get to know one person, and that is enough.

"Then what does the Emperor plan to do with the Queen Mother?"

"Let her die of illness in a few days."

"Your Majesty, I have known about the Queen for a long time. I didn't know how to tell you, so I put it off until now. I didn't expect that the Queen is pregnant."

"I know."

Meng Wenyao looked at the tent above her head and felt that the emperor seemed tired and indifferent, the kind of indifference that did not take everything into consideration.

He has reached this point in his life without much warmth, and those past kindnesses look bloody.

The Queen and the Queen Mother must be dealt with, but since both of them died in a short period of time, people will inevitably think too much. The Emperor already has a reputation for murder. If this happens, there will be more rumors, which will be detrimental to the Emperor's reputation. .

Moreover, the Queen Mother and the Empress were buried in a grand ceremony. Meng Wenyao was not worthy of taking the place of the Emperor. These two people should die with their reputations ruined.

"Your Majesty, it is easiest to kill someone, but it would be bad if you gain your reputation for doing so."

"I don't care."

Meng Wenyao turned over and lay on the emperor's chest, put her face to his heart, and began to kiss him delicately.

Feeling his tension, Meng Wenyao stopped quickly. She didn't want to play with fire.

"I care, the emperor protects all people. I want the world to remember the emperor's merits, instead of just remembering the emperor's murders."

In low voices, the two talked for half the night.

When she woke up the next day, Meng Wenyao went straight to the room where the queen was detained. She wanted to know more about the queen, and she must make the queen mother die in disgrace.

When she came out an hour later, Nanny Yu reported in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is ill. Please ask your Majesty to take care of her illness."

"If you don't go, I won't be in good health."

Meng Wenyao ignored the Queen Mother's remarks. She was busy planning to expose the Queen Mother's affairs.

Seeing that Nanny Yu was about to speak but hesitated, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

"This old slave just finds it strange that early in the morning the Queen Mother ordered all ladies of the third rank and above to go and attend to the illness."

It's a bit strange. If you don't go to the imperial doctor when you're sick, why do you go to a group of noble ladies?

"Go and find out."

Nanny Yu returned after less than half a stick of incense, followed by Meng Baiqin.

"Sister, why didn't you go to attend to the Queen Mother?"

Meng Baiqin pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and choked: "The Queen Mother was worried that I was pregnant and would not be tired, so she asked me to go back and rest first."

"The Queen Mother was exposed to the wind last night, and she has a severe headache this morning. The Queen is always there to serve her. This morning she summoned the Queen. Unexpectedly, the Queen was also feeling unwell, so she summoned all the ladies."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Wenyao, and then continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I entered the palace today. I knew that the queen was also ill, so I wanted to go to Fengyi Hall to visit, but was stopped by the queen mother. The queen was just pregnant and wanted to rest. Let them visit again in a few days."

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Meng Baiqin was sending a message on behalf of the Queen Mother. If the Emperor kept the Queen locked up, the Queen Mother would reveal the matter and let everyone know that the Queen was under house arrest.

As for why he was placed under house arrest and the truth about his affair was covered up, everyone could only make random guesses. The most likely guess was that the emperor's favorite concubine destroyed his wife.

When the time comes, she, Meng Wenyao, will probably be scolded to death. The Queen Mother is really playing her cards well, and she can use public opinion to win back the situation at this time.

"My sister is interested. I will go visit the Queen to see if she has recovered from her illness."
