As expected, the empress dowager's face turned cold as she snorted and walked out of the prison.

Leng Qiyue secretly wiped away her sweat. She wasn't too sure about what she had said. Had the empress dowager seen through her or had she been deceived? He would have to wait for tomorrow at noon. If he was still alive, then he would be right. If … There were no 'ifs' anymore. If he said something wrong, then he was dead for sure. Where would the 'ifs' come from?!

That night, the several leading figures in the palace did not sleep well, each of them harboring their own thoughts.

On the second day, Dongfang Haotian had been waiting for the empress dowager to come find him to revoke the imperial edict, but he was disappointed. It was almost noon, and even the empress dowager didn't appear.

"Your majesty, it's almost noon. Aren't you going to the gate?"

"Hmph, you talk too much." Dongfang Haotian said angrily.

Dford shivered and shut up.

When Dongfang Haotian saw that the time was almost up, he clenched his teeth and used his movement technique to directly rush towards the Meridian Gate.

When he arrived at the gates, he saw that the empress dowager was already sitting up straight. Leng Qiyue was also being escorted out by all sorts of bound people, and the executioner was already in position. It looked like he was about to execute her.

When the empress dowager saw Dongfang Haotian rushing over, her lips curved into a cold smile. "Is the emperor here to watch the movie?"

Dongfang Haotian suppressed his surging presence and said, "How can I not be present for such a major event?"

The empress dowager smiled faintly. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the emperor. This Dowager is preparing to exempt her from her crimes."

Dongfang Haotian was startled upon hearing this. What was the empress dowager planning to do? The imperial edict that he had personally issued, the so-called 'the monarch does not spout nonsense'. Was she giving out the imperial edict for him?

When the empress dowager saw that Dongfang Haotian's face had turned ugly, she smiled with pride and said, "Someone, we've verified that Leng Qiyue did not harm your son. Release her immediately." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Dongfang Haotian provocatively.

Dongfang Haotian felt a lump in his throat, but he couldn't say that he couldn't release her without an imperial edict. He could only smile and say: "The empress dowager is wise."

The empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction. "I'm tired. Your Majesty can do whatever you want."

Dongfang Haotian bowed slightly and then quickly walked over to Leng Qiyue and held her in his arms.

When Leng Qiyue saw this scene, she knew what was going on. She whispered, "She was just slandering you."

Dong Fang Haotian also said in a low voice: "She's trying to show off to me. Forget it, I'll let her off this once. I definitely won't let her act arrogantly in the future."

Leng Qiyue felt heartache for Dongfang Haotian. "You, this emperor is really sullen."

Dongfang Haotian bitterly smiled and said: "Let's go back. We can peacefully nurture the baby."

Speaking of nurturing the child, Leng Qiyue thought of that bowl of medicine and her face darkened. "Didn't the emperor give me some pills?" Why do you still wish for chenqie to be safe and nurtured? "

Dongfang Haotian was startled, but he didn't say anything. He waited until the two of them got into the imperial carriage, then he said: "I didn't give you the Slippery Body Medicine. This matter starts from the moment you told me you were pregnant."

Leng Qiyue had always thought that it was a fetal skating drug, but upon hearing his words, she was instead stunned.

Dongfang Haotian held her in his arms and said: "Tell me, you are pregnant. I was very surprised at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's appropriate. Your body is extremely weak, and you are unable to resist the evil spirits. That is why I said you are carrying Bai Lan's child, letting them know that I do not value you. That bowl of medicine was not a miscarriage pill, but a pill left behind by the ancestors. Only those who were physically weak and had difficulty holding the fetus could use it again. However, the medicinal properties of the drug are quite strong, and those who reuse it will have a stomachache. I'm afraid that you won't be able to continue using it. "

Suddenly enlightened, Leng Qiyue said, "No wonder you still sent me the birth control medicine afterwards. So you were just messing with me."

Dongfang Haotian affectionately hugged her and smiled: "If I don't trick you into it, how can I trick them?"

Leng Qiyue was delighted in her heart. Firstly, Dongfang Haotian hadn't forgotten their kindness, and secondly, Dongfang Haotian was truly protecting her at all times.

Leng Qiyue said, "The child has already entered a stable period. When will I be able to be released from prison?"

"Released after completing the sentence?" Dongfang Haotian was confused.

Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "It means that when am I allowed to enter and exit freely!"

"Say, I'll let you go when we get back. Those guards aren't trying to stop you from coming out, they don't have the ability to stop you, do they?" Dongfang Haotian smiled.

Leng Qiyue curled her lips and said, "So you already knew, yet you still let Bai Lan take me back to the palace."

Dongfang Haotian nodded and said: "Those guards were there to stop you from entering, not to stop you from coming out and letting Bai Lan bring you back because I'm really worried for you."

Leng Qiyue felt sweet in her heart. Leaning on him, she truly hoped that this happiness would never disappear. The imperial carriage stopped at the entrance of the Moon Flower Palace. Dongfang Haotian didn't get off; he still had something to do.

When Leng Qiyue returned to the Moon Flower Palace, she saw that everyone in the courtyard was wearing silk clothing, crying and crying. When they saw Leng Qiyue, their mouths were wide open in shock, unable to make a sound.

"What are you doing?" Leng Qiyue asked with a face full of black lines.

Xiao Die jumped up and walked in front of Leng Qiyue. She reached out her hand to pinch her face and shouted excitedly, "It's alive! It's alive!"

Leng Qiyue blew a chestnut at her and jokingly scolded, "Stupid girl, you actually dared to pinch my face."

Upon hearing Xiao Die's shout, those kneeling on the ground immediately stood up and surrounded Leng Qiyue.

Han Liu broke down in tears and smiled. "It's good that the Empress came back. She scared this servant to death."

Senior Servant Lan was also very happy as she said, "It's good that the esteemed Empress is back. If you survive a great disaster, you'll definitely be blessed. Alright, you can change your clothes now."

The Moon Flower Hall, which had been gloomy a moment ago, was now filled with cheers that shook the sky. Everyone was brimming with smiles.

Han Liu prepared a brazier for Leng Qiyue to jump into. Leng Qiyue was happy to let them play with her, so she jumped over the brazier and went inside to take a bath.

Meanwhile, Xiao Die went to the kitchen to prepare food. Everyone was busy, and the tedious work became more pleasing to the eye.

Just as Leng Qiyue finished her bath and changed her clothes, she heard a voice from outside her room, "Imperial Concubine, accept the decree!"

Leng Qiyue knelt down outside the door with Han Liu in tow. From today onwards, Imperial Concubine Leng can freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace. He put away the imperial edict, and said with a face full of smiles, "Imperial Concubine, the Emperor has given you these things to suppress your shock. His Majesty has instructed you to take good care of your child."

Leng Qiyue glanced at the tray the eunuch was carrying behind him. There was silver and various tonics. She took two silver ingots and gave them to him, saying, "Thank you for the trouble, Eunuch."

He put it away in his sleeve without a trace. With a face full of smiles, he said, "It is my honor to serve the Empress. I will not disturb your rest any longer, and will take my leave."

Leng Qiyue sent him off with a smile, and the eunuchs handed the tray to the men from the Moon Flower Palace before leaving.

Senior Servant Lan smiled. "Dede is a greedy villain. Empress Dowd really likes him."

Leng Qiyue smiled. Before she could say anything, she saw Consort Rong walk in with a group of people …
