Chapter 972 Out Of Breath

Luo Qingyan nodded silently, but he said nothing after a long time. Qian Zhuo came in with a basin of water. Seeing the unusual atmosphere in the bedroom, she was also stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the water is ready. The well is frozen, so the water is too cold. Shall I make the water hot for you?"

Luo Qingyan shook his head and suddenly stood up. Maybe he got up too fast and had a headache. Luo Qingyan pressed his temples and said, "No, thanks. The ice is better. I just feel a headache and want to sober up. Take it in."

Qian Zhuo responded and took the basin into the bathroom, and Luo Qingyan followed her. Yun Shang sighed and leaned back on the couch. Her brows were still knitted. Both she and Luo Qingyan had been married for nearly three years, and she could tell whether Luo Qingyan was telling the truth or not.

But just as she said before, she believed that Luo Qingyan would never hurt her. She was afraid that the secret hidden by Luo Qingyan would hurt her a lot.

Yun Shang closed her eyes slowly, and Li Lanyi's words came to her mind again, "The Empress is still an Empress who can't have a baby anymore. The royal family of the State of Xia will be doomed."

She couldn't have a baby anymore...

What this sentence meant was that she had no way to have children in the future, not that she could not have children. Could it be that someone had secretly drugged her with some infertility medicine? But if someone had drugged her, why didn't she notice it at all? Could it be something like the black ink found in the vase some time ago?

Yun Shang frowned, but even if she couldn't give birth to a baby in the future, she still had Chengye. No matter what, she couldn't say that the State of Xia was going to have no descendants? Then could it be possible that Chengye...

Just as Yun Shang was thinking, she heard footsteps. Yun Shang opened her eyes and looked at the door of the bathroom. It was probably because Luo Qingyan had poured cold water on his face, some water was still dripping down from his face. He took a handkerchief and wiped it casually. Then he threw it aside, walked to Yun Shang and said, "It's a little cold to see the new year in at night. You should wear more clothes."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, "There are braziers in the Taihe Palace. I've told them that her former majesty is not in good health. It's cold and wet in winter in Jin City. I'm afraid she can't bear it. The charcoal used in the the Taihe Palace is the best. So it should be warm there."

Yun Shang answered in a soft voice, but her voice gradually slowed down. It suddenly occurred to her that Luo Qingyan had paid great attention to her dressing since it was winter. This had never happened before. His previous explanation was that Doctor Xue Yan said that women couldn't suffer from cold, or they might feel suffer a lot during their menstrual periods.

However, Yun Shang realized Luo Qingyan should not be so nervous just because of this advice from Doctor Xue Yan. Thinking of Doctor Xue Yan, Yun Shang remembered that after Doctor Xue Yan came, Luo Qingyan said h

and a stern look flashed across his eyes. He turned around to look at Yun Shang and said gently, "When we were in the Crown Prince's mansion, I thought Bao'er was small, so I thought it better to have a doctor to look after him. But now since we are in the palace, there are many imperial physicians and maids. After all, Chen Miaosi is not a maid. It's not proper for her to always live in the palace. I'll find a time to send her back to the Changbai Mountain. "

Yun Shang's expression changed slightly, but there was no joy on her face. She said indifferently, "Your Majesty, you are always considerate."

Then she walked forward quietly without saying anything more.

It was almost midnight when they arrived at the Taihe Palace. Fireworks had already risen outside the palace. Hua Ling stood at the door and looked around. When she saw Luo Qingyan and the others come in, she smiled and walked out, "I was talking about it just now. I remembered that I have specially made everything clear. I was worrying that you wouldn't come."

Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "His Majesty was drunk. It took him a long time to wake up after feeding him the soup. Fortunately, it's not midnight yet."

Hua Ling nodded and smiled, "It's just in time. I've asked the servants to set the fireworks. It's almost midnight and we can set off the fireworks."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Okay."

Hua Ling looked very happy. She turned around and glanced at Xia Huanyu. Then she told the servants to prepare the fireworks. Yun Shang led the crowd to the corridor. When the servants lit the fireworks, they flew into the sky and exploded, incomparably gorgeous.

Yun Shang's eyes were fixed on the fireworks. It should be the most lively new year's Eve after her rebirth. Although she was not with her father and mother, she had Luo Qingyan, Bao'er, Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling, both of the last two among which were not very close to her, though. However, this new year's Eve also brought her mixed feelings weighing heavily on her mind. They were like stones, making her a little breathless.
