I felt my chest rise and fall rapidly. In his cold words, there was nothing he could say. His mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.

Xia Junchang was right behind the two trees. It was hard for him to escape even if he wanted to. Even though we hadn't met yet, he had caught us red-handed.

He came with his regal authority, and in my head, helplessness and a little anger appeared.

From noon, when he was angry, he knew that Xia Juntang wanted to see me, and I wanted to see him as well. Perhaps in the beginning, he had never believed me, but he had already sent people to follow me.

I knew who he was, but I was caught red-handed. Perhaps it was because of that lie I guessed at noon that I wasn't afraid of him at all.

I glared back at him. I didn't even think about the consequences of having such a child.

I haven't learned to think very carefully. I haven't thought too far.

However, he was angry at the scam, and the panic in his heart seemed to have been suppressed.

He smiled faintly, and said in a voice as cold as snow, "Yun Zhiqiu, don't forget your status."

"I remember." I lightly said, "But Your Majesty …" I thought about it and still couldn't say it.

'My identity, my identity is now his woman. His identity, he always uses his identity to oppress me.'

If I were to go against him, I would only end up smashed into pieces. I'm not afraid, I … I thought of Grand Concubine Yi's anxious gaze, and Gu Panpan once again recited the scene of how Xia Junchang was able to quickly go over to see her.

She was very amiable and was as concerned as a daughter to me. Did I want to go as far as Imperial Concubine Mu to be on guard against me? I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

As for the child, if he does not love me, I cannot force him.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little arrogant and calmed down. Faced with his somewhat haughty gaze, I turned my head to look at the snow on the plum blossoms. It was so dark that I couldn't tell if it was snow or a flower, but I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Was it too long? This is my real personality. I've tried to be gentle and obedient, I've tried to make amends, and I've rushed over to hug him.

But now I only feel funny, what is he proud of, what is he scolding me about? They were the ones who tricked me first. I would rather have lived a long life waiting for him to come back. Even if we couldn't be together, I could still let myself be happy when he came back and think about him as much as I wanted.

Now, between the two trees, I could not lower my head.

"Do you blame us for coming?" He broke the silence and smiled faintly. "I actually feel that the situation here should be very good. How could the show compare to you that I was worried about?"

He turned around and said coldly, "Eunuch Chen, the wind is strong here. Send the scholar back first."

The two young eunuchs had already walked quickly towards the shadow behind the Plum Blossom Tree. Eunuch Chen came to invite me over, bowing and allowing the two palace maids to lead me away.

I shake it off in exasperation and look at him with some bitterness and resentment.

He took two steps forward and leaned over to look at me, his face sunk in the darkness, the cold covering my face. He reached out and took my chin in his hands.

I grit my teeth in pain, but I don't move to look at him.

He put in a lot of effort and said word by word, "Zhiqiu, aren't you hungry? If you're hungry and have children, that's not good. "

The words were like a cold wind blowing over my head and over my face, making my hot heart go cold. The fist that he grabbed slowly loosened up and did not open his eyes.

He let go of my aching jaw and turned away from me. "Take it down," he said.

The palace maid dragged me along without saying a word. I looked back and saw that the floor was still covered with mist.

The eunuch reported to him, "Your majesty, he is kneeling behind a tree."

He could no longer hear what he was saying. His heart was in his throat, like snow falling from the sky as it shattered. The wind was like my mood right now, unable to calm down.

Arriving at Zhenghua Palace, looking at those resplendent lights, I immediately felt as if I had returned to reality. The palace maids escorted me back to my room and sat quietly.

Time passed very slowly. The candles in the room were so bright that I couldn't see anyone. The curtains embroidered with golden threads were gently moving up and down. The golden lights made me feel as if they weren't real.

What happened to me? I lost my cool the moment Xia Junxiang arrived, what happened to me? I knew it would never happen, I had clearly decided to do it for the sake of my child, yet I still couldn't control myself.

He buried his face in his palms and retracted his spirit to properly reflect on his feelings.

I thought that if he didn't mind, he wouldn't pursue the matter of why Xia Juntang and I were to meet, and he didn't make things difficult for me, I could treat it as if he had never lied to me before.

While I was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside. I raised my head and saw a few eunuchs push open the door, causing several palace maids in the main room to bow and greet them. When he stepped in, I stood up and looked at him frantically.

There was a faint smile on his face, and he was hugging a snow-white kitten.

Astonished, Eunuch Chen walked closer. He still had a fawning smile on his face as he said, "Your majesty, this old servant will ask the cats what they like to eat."

"Do you like it?" He smiled and shoved the cat into my arms.

I hugged him in a panic and looked up at him. How could he not be angry? My jaw wasn't fake.

"What are you looking at?" His eyes were full of gentleness. The palace maid behind him stood up and waited for him to take off his coat, wash his face, and wash his hands.

I looked at him, and as before he did not regard me with much importance as an emperor, but I did not think I could see through him, and the white cat in his hand mewled ingratiatingly.

He sat down and took a sip of tea before saying, "Zhi Qiu, that guard is quite interesting. He said he brought you a cat. When did you like cats? How come I didn't know?"

He looked over with a sidelong glance, asking with a question. His lips were pursed into a smile, but deep in the depths of his eyes.

I don't know why, but I said carefully, "I like cats, Your Majesty."

"Tell me, I will definitely get someone to find you a better one, but as long as you make an agreement with him, I will not blame you." You tell me, I will certainly get someone to find you a better one, but as long as you make an agreement with him, I will not blame you.

I was stunned. Guards and cats, could they be Ah Yan?

"What? Weren't you talking to him?" He raised his eyebrows and his eyes blazed.

I laughed. "How could I not? This cat is so beautiful. He said that he would give a cat to me. He really keeps his word."

I let go of the cat and let out a secret sigh of relief.

He added, "In the future, if you like plum blossoms again, don't try to break them yourself. Do some things yourself and lose your identity based on where you are."

"Yes." I answered him respectfully. He was even more certain that it was definitely Ah Yan, but what about Xia Junchang? Thinking that this was not the time to be thinking about such things, he gathered his energy and walked to Tang Wulin's side and said: "I've been staying at the palace for a long time, so I went out for a walk. Today, I've been listening to plays and going to the Plum Blossom so I'm really tired."

He looked up at me with a half-smile and mocked, "The difference between being pregnant and being pregnant is really big. Are you really tired?"

I hated the way he said it, but I also nodded my head gently. "Yes, very tired. My waist is sore."

He frowned and said with a straight face, "Then you better rest well, Zhiqiu."

The silence was heavy. He looked at the cat and said, "So if there was a kitten, I would be happier?"

This sentence must have been said by Ah Yan. He had already solved such a huge problem for me. If it was something I wouldn't do with such a small matter, then I would really be too stupid.

He gave a shallow smile, "Your Majesty, didn't you call me lazy cat? I'll find a kitten. "

"He took my hand and made me sit on his feet. There were a dozen or so eunuchs and maids in the main room, and although they all pretended not to see me, they made me blush. His cold hands habitually rubbed my cheeks, but it didn't bring me warmth." "Heh, you lazy cat, Zhi Qiu, do you like me?"

"Happy …"

Before he could say it, he covered my lips with his fingers. His thin, red lips curved into an evil smile.

Then why do you still ask? I know you don't believe me, but sooner or later I will know that Xia Junxiang wasn't injured at all, and yet you still like to take the initiative.

Actually, I don't want to think about anything anymore. I just want to live my life with you. I don't want to think about anything else but my children.

But not only did you want Xia Junchang and me, we both knew that we were prepared for each other.

I won't fight back, I won't cause trouble with you, I'll even smile at you, what do you want? What do you want?

"I like it." In the end I said it with a smile in his meaningful eyes.

He smiled faintly and sighed several times. He looked at me and shook his head. Then, he suddenly pulled me onto his chest. "You women always love to tell lies. You always have different opinions. Saying that you like me is just saying those words." He stood up and looked at the white cat. "Keep this cat alive. Don't turn it into a dog."

I sighed lightly and half-bent down to see him off, but no matter who it was that helped me with that matter, the suspicious him would not believe me in the end.

When he was being unreasonable, did he think that it would be a bad idea to force others to do the same?

After sending the palace maid down and sitting alone on the furry carpet, all sorts of feelings welled up in my heart. I couldn't help but wonder if he would still be so calm if he really caught Xia Junchang, even if he was smirking.

The kitten, hovering at my feet, meowed up at me, and in the bright light saw its round eyes, hidden in their soft white fur, lovely and tight.

I gently smiled and touched its head, thanking Yan in my heart for saying nothing. In this palace, how many people had perked up their ears and widened their eyes at my every word and action!

He had never believed in me before, and the so-called 'love' had never been touched by me.

I couldn't sleep that night, and I thought about the smile on his face, and the unfathomable look on his face, and I thought that maybe we would never return to the old days when you loved me so well, so false that he didn't want to pretend anymore.

I followed the cat's fur, it obediently in my side of the body doze, the big New Year's Eve outside fireworks, lighting up the dark sky, but not my heart.

I won't deny Xia Junchang's return, and the Emperor's deceit towards me. It made me hate him, but at the same time, it made me feel sore and powerless.

Outside the window, the bright flowers bloomed and dimmed. Today, the Zhenghua Palace was quiet. He wasn't here, but he had brought along the noise and liveliness with him.

The embroidered tiger handkerchief was still lying quietly in the embroidered basket. It seemed as if it had been wronged.

You really shouldn't have embroidered it, haha.

I blew out the candle and went to bed. He won't come back tonight.

What was there to call it? In any case, if it wasn't a child, I definitely wouldn't be by his side. Without feelings, I don't care who he dotes on, and I don't care too much about it, let alone hurting his heart.

Thinking this way, I just couldn't fall asleep no matter how I tossed and turned.

Yun Zhiqiu, ah, Yun Zhiqiu, can't you go back to your old self? Why should I think about him? In your heart, he is simply not worth mentioning. He can't affect your thoughts.

He ordered himself to count the number of sheep, two or three at a time. He didn't even know how many there were.

No matter how many reasons I think about it, none of them can make me forget about him.

I really want to cry, why do I still have him in my heart, still pass by his cold and angry face, whether I have already merged into him in my false docility and gentleness, whether I have him in my heart.

Why am I thinking about what I can do to keep him from getting angry, about quietly letting the palace maid give him the embroidered handkerchief, or about playing a cheerful tune to make him show his face, and wondering if what I've said has made him angry again?

Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the window. I thought it was the eunuchs who were passing by, but I stopped in front of the window instead. There were lanterns hanging on the porch.

I looked at him in a daze, and suddenly felt some inexplicable joy in my heart.

Although he left with a flick of his sleeve, he still came here in the middle of the night.

The palace maid who was guarding the palace walked up to greet him and greeted him. His low voice transmitted over: "Did you fall asleep?"

The palace maid also said softly, "He has already fallen asleep, Your Majesty."

"Never went out again?"

"In reply to the emperor, I've never left the small pavilion."

Why did you ask me that? Watching him move, followed by the soft creak of the door, I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He came in and stood by the bed without taking off his clothes. I felt my face burn as he looked at me, lying beside me in his clothes, pulling at the hair on the side of my face and sighing. "You sleep so well, you are a heartless woman."
