Yun Shang thought for a while. The empress summoned her into the palace, and it must have something to do with the imperial guards' token.
Yun Shang turned around and said to Qian Zhuo, "go get prepared. I'll go get changed."
Lady Hua Guo held Yun Shang's hand and said to her, "you don't need to pay attention to it. You have spread the news that you are pregnant, but you are weak and it's dangerous for you, and you might miscarry at any time. You have to lie on the bed everyday. Even I, your grandmother worried about your unborn baby so I moved into the Prince Rui's mansion to look after you. Now that if you go to the palace safely and you seem very healthy, don't you tell the empress plainly that you made up all these things? "
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and couldn't help but frown. "But anyway, the empress is the emperor's wife. I'm afraid it's not good for me to publicly refuse the decree, isn't it?"
Lady Hua Guo glared at Yun Shang after hearing her words. Then she said unhappily, "why did you say that? It's not a big deal. I will meet the people from the palace, and if it comes to the worst, I will go with them. I will cry to the empress in her face, regardless of my old age. Then she will know that the old woman is a fount of wisdom and don't mess with me. "
"But..." Yun Shang was about to say something, but Lord Guo's wife interrupted her with a frown on her face. "All right. No buts. you look so tired. If you go back now, I'm afraid you haven't got a good rest on your journey day and night? If you go back to the palace like this, you will arouse the empress' suspicion instead.

Noticing that the empress was staring at Yun Shang the whole time, Lady Hua Guo immediately said to Yun Shang, "shang'er, don't you see? The empress is here to see you."
Yun Shang was surprised at her words. She turned slowly and looked at the empress for a long time with dull eyes. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't get up and make a salute to her, the empress had a frown on her face, but she quickly stretched her brows and said, "shang'er, I'm here to see you."
Yun Shang finally seemed to be out of her trance, turned around and was about to lift the quilt to make a salute to the empress. But she frowned painfully in the quilt halfway. Covering her belly, she bent down and buried her face in the quilt. She dared not move any more.
The empress was also startled by that. She quickly said to her, "since you are not feeling well, you don't have to be courteous."
Lady Hua Guo asked worriedly, "your belly aches. Is there anything wrong?"
