"Anran, do you really have to be so heartless to me?" There was not a single trace of anger in Xiang Rongcheng's tone. Instead, it was mixed with an innumerable amount of charm.

Shi Anran gently smiled, and then said: "Anran and Young Master Xiang are not good friends, and are not related to each other, so what do you mean by 'heartlessness'?"

After hearing what he said, Xiang Rongcheng was obviously slightly displeased. No woman could cause ripples in his heart, only the expression and smile of the woman before him were still fresh in his mind. Immediately, Xiang Rongcheng became a little overbearing and said: "Whether you admit it or not, in the end, you are still my fiancee, so what if I wait for three to five years?"

"Young Master Xiang, please behave yourself!" Shi Anran said in a soft voice, as she raised her eyes and gave him a nonchalant glance. It was as if she was not moved by what he had just said.

"I'll be leaving first. If you have anything to say, send someone to tell me!" The palace is full of deceitful people, you must be careful! " Xiang Rongcheng withdrew his previous gentleness with a grave expression on his face.

After watching Xiang Rongcheng's back gradually disappear, Shi Anran only felt a slight chill in his heart. It was hard to say what she was feeling in his heart, but it was as if something had flowed out, and it was completely empty.

After returning to the Palace, Shi Anran slept soundly until daybreak.

Li Ruolan could no longer stay calm as she and Li Ruoxue stood at the entrance of the main hall of the Palace. She glanced at the maids guarding the door and unhappily said, "Everyone, get out of the way, I want to see the Emperor now!"

"In reply to the imperial concubine, the emperor has already said that he won't meet anyone!" The palace maid replied respectfully.

Again! Li Ruolan no longer had any patience, she ordered his personal palace maids behind him to pull them apart, and was about to force their way in when she heard a voice before she could even step in.

"Imperial Concubine thinks twice before acting. If she angers the emperor, then things won't be good!" Shi Anran slowly walked over, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Ruolan slightly lifted her chin, a noble aura of grace was displayed on her beautiful face, and she took a step back. With a slightly unhappy look, she glanced at, "Where's the emperor?"

"Reporting to imperial concubine, the emperor is currently bathing and changing his clothes. Imperial Concubine, please wait a moment!" Shi Anran's voice did not contain any warmth, but no one could tell the displeasure in it.

Li Ruolan only glanced at her indifferently, then ignored her, why would she place such a small maid in her eyes?

However, Li Ruoxue did not give up, and sarcastically said to Shi Anran: "Aiya, some people are really funny, I thought that you flew up the tree branches and became a phoenix, in the end, you are also a hairless chicken, even if you flew up, you would fall down and die!"

Seeing Shi Anran not saying anything, Li Ruoxue felt extremely satisfied in her heart. Walking up to her, circling her a few steps, and repeatedly clicking her tongue, "It's only that much, you're not qualified to compete with big sister!"

She merely wanted to enrage Shi Anran and play some tricks when the emperor came out. Unfortunately, she seemed to have made a mistake in her plans, because Shi Anran seemed to not have heard anything at the moment.

"Shi Anran, are you deaf or are you dumb? I'm talking to you!" Li Ruoxue pushed her, but she did not know that behind Shi Anran was the stage.

Seeing that Shi Anran was about to roll down, Li Ruoxue opened her eyes wide to look at this scene. She only wanted to teach Shi Anran a lesson, but she didn't want to kill her.

In a split-second, Xiang Rongcheng held onto Shi Anran's waist with one hand, and the two of them steadily stood back, after which they coldly looked at Li Ruoxue, "Why did you push her?"

"I... It's not like I did it on purpose! " Li Ruoxue paused for a moment, then opened her mouth and said. The Xiang Family was a loyal subject for generations, and the current Young General was also someone that the Emperor highly valued. No one wanted to offend such a person.

Li Ruolan saw that the matter was not going to end well, so she laughed and said, "What did the young general make such a big fuss about? It's just that there's been some awkwardness between sister and sister. "

Imperial Noble Consort Lan is pregnant.

It was just a little bit of awkwardness, but in her previous life, Shi Anran was rolling on the floor until he bled, and in the end she could only endure and pass by, but this time, don't even think about it …

"What happened?" At this time, the Emperor had already walked out.

Shi Anran was his maid, so she naturally had to return to the emperor's side. Her limping steps were extremely painful to look at, so the emperor's eyes flashed as he asked in concern, "What happened to her leg?"

"Your majesty, Anran is fine!" She replied in a soft voice.

Xiu Er, who had been standing quietly at the side, opened her mouth and said: "It was obviously because of Young General Li. If it wasn't for Young General Li, I'm afraid Master would have already tumbled down the stone steps."

Hearing that, the emperor's eyes became gloomy. He still had not cleared up the matter regarding Lin An city, so he was not happy. "Without my orders, who would have allowed you to come here?"

Under her sister's pale white expression, Li Ruolan hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Reporting to the Emperor, it was chenqie who had her younger sister come here. It was really she who was depressed and wanted to talk about family matters with her younger sister. It was all chenqie's fault!"

"It is indeed your fault!" The emperor's cold eyes swept across the place, just as he was thinking about how to deal with Li Ruoxue, he saw Imperial Noble Consort Lan clutching her stomach and wailing.

Li Ruoxue quickly supported her sister, and a few palace maids surrounded him: "Empress, are you alright, Empress?"

"Your Majesty, chenqie's abdominal pain is unbearable …" After she said that sentence with great difficulty, Imperial Noble Consort Lan fainted. This matter had also occurred because of him fainting all of a sudden.

It was only around dusk that Li Ruolan finally woke up. She looked in a daze at where she stood, and weakly asked: "Where is this place?"

"This is the Palace!" The Emperor would never leave any woman to spend the night here, but she was the first of the three.

Li Ruolan struggled to get up, but was stopped by the emperor, and said gently: "Since you are pregnant, why didn't you inform us?"

"What?" Your concubine is pregnant? " At this moment, Li Ruolan was so overjoyed that she nearly jumped up from the bed, but when she thought of the dragon in her stomach, she could only endure her impulse. She grabbed the emperor's arm and gently said, "Your concubine has the emperor's child now …" The emperor was naturally overjoyed, she had long thrown the matter of Shi Anran to the back of her mind, and only focused on being warm with the Imperial Noble Consort Lan.

This news had spread throughout the entire palace, and only Shi Anran had a look of worry. Since Imperial Noble Consort Lan was pregnant at this time, did that mean that the following matter was about to happen? She raised her eyes to the full moon outside the window, and her gaze gradually lost focus.

"Aunt, it's not early yet. It's time to rest!" Cui Yun helped her collect all the books on the table.

After hearing that, Shi Anran gradually came back to reality as she was inexplicably lost in thought.

On the morning assembly the next day, news of Third Prince receiving praise from the citizens in the south spread. The emperor happily praised them a few times, saying that Third Prince was not a useless person. Shi Anran was also relieved. At least this man had not disappointed him even now.
