Shen Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, the baby doesn't move all the time. The imperial physician said that he sleeps most of the time."

Gu Beihuai seemed to understand, and said seriously: "Then I will wake him up now."

Shen Qingyan burst out laughing and quickly stopped him.

"How do you wake up the emperor? Can you wake up the baby in the belly just by saying it?"

Gu Beihuai really had no experience as a father, so he was indeed stumped for a moment when he heard this.

"People often say that prenatal education is extremely important. I will first let him develop good habits so that he can get up and go to bed on time after he is born."

Shen Qingyan's face was full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, is this possible?"

Gu Beihuai was also a little nervous. He covered Shen Qingyan's most raised part with one hand and said cautiously and seriously: "I am your father. If you can hear me, wake up quickly. I have something to say to you."

"..."

It was rare to see Gu Beihuai being so cute and adorable, Shen Qingyan could hardly hold back her laughter.

She was laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the baby in her belly seemed to sense it and kicked with its little feet, which was just caught by Gu Beihuai.

"Moved!"

Gu Beihuai was very excited and called out again immediately.

Then he talked to Shen Qingyan's belly all morning.

Speaking of which, Shen Qingyan fell asleep.

Princess House.

Gu Ruxiao's sense of accomplishment has lasted for two days since he dealt with Rong Fenghua.

She didn't expect that she would feel so good when punishing evildoers. If she had known this, she should have learned more from the emperor's sister-in-law.

Gu Ruxiao was happily drinking tea and eating snacks when he heard a servant coming in hurriedly to report.

"Princess, Prime Minister Rong Lanrong wants to see you, and he has already arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion."

Hearing this name, Gu Ruxiao's wonderful mood was no longer wonderful. She didn't need to guess to know that the man who doted on his sister must have come to beg for mercy.

So he waved his hand and said, "No, let him go."

"Yes."

Gu Ruxiao didn't take this matter to heart. In the next two hours, she took time to practice whip techniques, take a bath, do beauty treatments, and have lunch...

Then, feeling really bored, he decided to go to the palace to talk to Shen Qingyan to relieve his boredom, and also to visit his mother.

Unfortunately the weather was not good, and just as the servants had prepared the horses, it began to drizzle.

But Gu Ruxiao has always been unwilling to change her mind once she has made up her mind, and still plans to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the house, I saw a man standing in the rain in front of the door.

Rong Lan stood tall and straight. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. His hair was already wet by the rain.

The moment he saw Gu Ruxiao, a light seemed to flash in his eyes, and he immediately stepped forward to salute.

"The humble minister meets the princess."

Gu Ruxiao ignored him and asked the maid beside her.

"Didn't you tell him to leave?"

The maid looked embarrassed, "Since Master Rong doesn't want to leave, there is nothing I can do..."

Gu Ruxiao's speechless expression was written all over his face as he looked at Rong Lan angrily.

"If you are here to plead for Rong Fenghua, Lord Rong, please go back immediately. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that I will not say anything unpleasant. If I humiliate Lord Rong, I will inevitably complain to my brother."

Rong Lan's expression changed several times, and finally his heart was filled with guilt.

Even the princess, who was known for her arrogance, saw things more clearly than he did. He even felt ashamed that he was not worthy of his position.

"Princess, you have misunderstood. I am not here to plead for my sister, but to apologize to you."

"Oh?" Gu Ruxiao was a little surprised, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

In her eyes, all the ministers in the court were pedantic and selfish. Losing face was a big deal, and admitting mistakes voluntarily was out of the question.

She experienced this phenomenon deeply during the time when she helped Gu Beihuai handle state affairs.

There are too many old stubborn people, and it’s impossible to argue with them all.

I didn't expect Rong Lan to be a little different.

Gu Ruxiao finally looked at him straight in the eye and asked in surprise and confusion, "Did I hear correctly? You want to apologize to me?"

Rong Lan nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I apologize to Your Highness for my previous misunderstanding of the princess. Everything is my sister's fault. I have no reason to refute and I cannot refute. The facts are the facts."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

After Rong Lan finished speaking, he bowed deeply, his tone and attitude were very sincere.

In the misty rain, Rong Lan bent his tall figure downward, full of righteousness and without a trace of reluctance.

This made Gu Ruxiao feel a little embarrassed.

"Well, I don't blame you. You should get up quickly, otherwise people will see you and misunderstand you."

She was scared. Could it be that the people in the Rong family were all scheming and were deliberately framing her?

"I forgive you, please go away."

Rong Lan never expected that Gu Ruxiao would avoid him so much.

"Your Highness, this humble servant..."

Gu Ruxiao had already hurriedly got into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive away quickly.

Rong Lan: “…”

Is he that scary?

In short, Gu Ruxiao entered the palace in one breath and went straight to Zhaohua Palace.

She walked in with familiarity, and just as she was about to call Shen Qingyan, Qingmei politely invited her to a side hall.

"Your Highness, the Emperor and His Majesty are having dinner. Please do not disturb them."

Gu Ruxiao immediately put on an attitude of "I understand". Not to mention disturbing her, she would not go in even if she was invited.

Forget it, let’s go to the Cining Palace. I haven’t seen my mother for a long time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the Cining Palace, I saw several eunuchs and palace maids running out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom in a panic.

Gu Ruxiao immediately stopped them, "Why are you guys so flustered? But what happened to the Queen Mother?"

One of the eunuchs trembled and said, "Sir, Your Highness, why don't you go and see the Queen Mother yourself? There's something wrong with her. We are planning to ask the imperial physician..."

When Gu Ruxiao heard this, he didn't care about anything else and told them to go quickly, then hurried into the main hall.

As soon as she entered the door, she was almost unable to open her eyes because of the strong smell of sandalwood.

"Ahem, ahem, mother, mother..."

"Xiao'er!"

When the Queen Mother heard her voice, she immediately stood up from in front of the Buddha statue and walked quickly over.

Before Gu Ruxiao could say anything, she grabbed her hand.

"Xiao'er, listen to what mother says. Don't offend Shen Qingyan. She is the woman who can protect our Tianfeng country from trouble. The power behind her should not be underestimated. We can't provoke her, let alone the man behind her!"

Gu Ruxiao was confused by her constant mention of "man" and "woman".

"Mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean?"

The Queen Mother covered her cheeks with her hands tightly, as if she was afraid to face something terrible.

"It's too scary, it's really too scary. Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers slaughtered the palace with blood, and blood flowed like a river. Even I was not spared. He cut off my arm with one blow..."

Gu Ruxiao's scalp tingled. The Queen Mother's unusual and crazy behavior proved one fact.

She is crazy.
