Mind Reading: Koi Cub brings script to save the whole family

"Besides, my grandmother is the emperor's teacher, my mother and sister both hold high positions, and even my second brother is married to the Xue family. Now that Your Majesty is pregnant with Mo'er's child, let's not talk about the future. For now, the Si family is already the big winner!"

Si Mo's voice was clearly heard by everyone, and her eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through everything.

"Even if we talk about the future, the Si family is still full of glory. At this time, we should be more aware of the truth that a tall tree attracts the wind, right?"

Si Mo's tone was firm, and his eyes flashed with a light that the Si family could not understand.

There was an expression on Si Mo's face that the Si family members could not understand.

They understood what Si Mo said.

It is because I understand it too well that I have some other thoughts.

Some things are easy to get, but difficult to keep.

Si Xinji was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "We understand. You must take good care of yourself in the palace."

Her eyes fell on Si Mo, with a hint of worry and reluctance.

Si Mo smiled slightly and nodded to show that he understood.

Then he turned and left, leaving the Si family members standing there, thinking about something in their hearts.

Si Xinji personally went to the storehouse in the mansion and looked for some rare treasures, preparing to find a time to formally visit Princess Nihuang and the Crown Princess.

He was well aware of the importance of these two people to the Si family and he had to establish good relationships with them.

Outside the Guangming Palace, Si Mo stood there quietly, staring into the distance.

He was secretly thinking about the conversation he had just had with his family. He knew that although his words surprised everyone in the Si family, they were true.

The Si family has indeed become the big winner now, but the more so, the more cautious they need to be.

He hopes that through his own efforts, he can protect this hard-earned glory and at the same time protect the future of the Si family.

After calming down, Si Mo walked towards Guangming Hall.

Huang Linghua still slept most of the day, and even had to wait for the palace servants to wake her up before she could eat.

After listening to the imperial physician, Huang Linghua would force herself to walk around the bedroom after dinner every day so as not to go to bed right after dinner.

When Si Mo came back, the palace maid was helping Huang Linghua walk in the small garden outside the bedroom.

The weather in December is normally quite cold.

The palace maids were all wearing warm clothes, but even so their hands and feet were still cold.

But Huang Linghua was different. Perhaps the phoenix essence and blood had changed her body functions, or perhaps pregnant women were naturally hot-tempered.

Not only did she not feel cold, she even felt the temperature was very comfortable.

This was what Si Mo saw when he came back.

He stepped forward and took Huang Linghua from the palace servant.

"You guys go down and rest, I'll do it."

The palace maids left one by one.

Si Mo said to Huang Linghua, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside. You can't stay cool. Can you go inside?"

Huang Linghua shook her head, her voice revealing a bit of coldness: "I have been lying down for too long recently, and my whole body is sore and weak. I want to walk around."

Si Mo said helplessly: "But it's too cold outside, what if you catch a cold?"

Huang Linghua shook her head and said, "You won't catch a cold. I feel fine now."

Si Mo sighed and had to continue walking in the garden with Huang Linghua.

They walked along the path and came to a pavilion.

Si Mo helped Huang Linghua sit down, then gently massaged her shoulders and arms.

Huang Linghua closed her eyes comfortably and enjoyed Si Mo's service.

After a while, Huang Linghua suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Si Mo and said, "My Lord, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Si Mo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask the imperial chef to make it for you right away."

After saying this, he immediately called a palace maid and asked her to inform the imperial chef to prepare osmanthus cake.

Soon after, a palace maid came over with a plate of exquisite osmanthus cake.

Huang Linghua couldn't wait to pick up a piece, put it in his mouth and chew it carefully.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face, "It's delicious!"

Si Mo felt very relieved when he saw Huang Linghua's happy expression.

He asked gently, "Would your Majesty like to eat something else?"

Huang Linghua shook his head, "No need, I'm full."

Si Mo nodded, "Then let's go back to the palace and rest."

Huang Linghua stood up, and Si Mo carefully helped her walk towards the bedroom.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"How was your trip out of the palace?" Huang Linghua asked casually.

Si Mo pursed his lips, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure and slowly said: "Mo has already told my grandmother and mother what I should say."

Huang Linghua looked up at him and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Do you think I have been a little too harsh on the Si family?"

Si Mo was startled, and quickly bowed his head and said respectfully: "Mo dare not, Your Majesty is doing this for the good of the Si family and Mo."

Huang Linghua sighed. For so many years, Si Mo was the only one by her side.

After seeing some things, I also planned to have him alone by my side in the future.

But as an emperor, there are some things that she cannot do as she pleases, and some decisions that she cannot make on her own.

In other words, she couldn't do it then, but it's different now.

Huang Linghua looked ahead and continued, "I was pregnant. I found out after I went on a diplomatic mission to Daliang."

Listening to this, Si Mo's eyes unconsciously glanced at the empress beside him. His heart was full of doubts and confusion. He really couldn't understand why the other party suddenly brought up this topic.

Huang Linghua didn't seem to notice Si Mo's gaze, and just continued to speak: "I succeeded to the throne at the age of five. When I was fifteen, you entered the palace and became a concubine. Now, I am already twenty years old and pregnant."

"My past twenty years have been quite simple. With the Si family at home and the Xue family outside, the government and the country are stable, and there are almost no major difficulties."

Si Mo listened quietly to Huang Linghua's narration, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

He silently recalled the trajectory of his life, as if he saw those past years.

From the moment he was born, he was destined to enter the palace and become a member of the empress's harem.

Now, he is twenty-three years old, and his experiences in the first half of his life seem to be exactly the same as Huang Linghua's.

After entering the bedroom, Si Mo carefully supported Huang Linghua and let her sit slowly on the bed.

Then he carefully scrubbed her body, every move full of tenderness and care.

"The only thing that's not so good is the issue of the royal heir. You've been in the palace for five years, but I haven't had any children. People who know the situation will naturally understand that it's because I'm busy with government affairs, but those who don't know will inevitably make random guesses."

There was no anxiety in Huang Linghua's tone, only sighs and ridicule.

Si Mo nodded slightly to show his understanding.
