As she laid on the soft bed, Dongfang Ziqing began her spring sleep. This was a common occurrence for the past month. Even pearls were not strange to her. She took advantage of Dongfang Ziqing sleeping time to heartily eat.

For the pearl, it was a joyous occasion for its master to be able to remain calm for a while! Look, she's gained a lot of weight over the past month!

"Pearl, is the Empress still taking her nap?" Lu Ping hurriedly walked in from outside. Her usual steadiness had been replaced by a somewhat flustered expression.

"Yes." She hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. After three years of living together, Pearl naturally understood a few points about Lu Ping's character. "Seeing her so panicked, he couldn't help but start panicking. Green Pine... "Ahem!" Pearl's face turned purple as she choked on the food. She covered her neck with one hand and hurriedly poured water into the bottle with the other. However, she suppressed the discomfort in her throat and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"

"The Chief Eunuch just sent me a message that the Emperor is sending troops to capture General Dongfang!" Clutching her chest, Lu Ping finished her sentence breathlessly. Pearl immediately turned pale with fright, and the cup of water in her hands fell to the ground. She couldn't even finish her sentence, let alone think of any countermeasures.

"Forget it, I'll just wake the Empress up and ask her what she should do!" Turning around, Lu Ping did not have the time to argue with Pearl over the matter of her disrespect, nor did she have the time to waste time staring at the pearl in a daze.

If Chief Eunuch Bi's words were true, then perhaps the sky of Xuanyuan would change, and this harem …

Standing at the side of the sleeping Dongfang Ziqing, seeing the sweet sleeping appearance of Dongfang Ziqing, Lu Ping could not bear to wake up Dongfang Ziqing for a while. Her mistress should have been so naive and carefree all her life, so why couldn't the heavens bless her and keep her peaceful all her life?

"Miss!" Just as Lu Ping was hesitating, Pearl let out a loud cry. Her chubby body was like a ball as she rushed to Dongfang Ziqing's side, pushing the slender Lu Ping to the side. Miss, please wake up. Something big has happened! "Miss!"

She shook Dongfang Ziqing's arm with all her might, and the pearl let out a thunderous roar. As Dongfang Ziqing's personal attendant, she had no choice but to wake her up using such a crude method as Dongfang Ziqing's sleep habit of not waking up at all.

In fact, even if Dongfang Ziqing felt so light that the mosquitoes would wake up, Pearl would still do the same thing. At this moment, she no longer had any rationality to speak of.

"Miss!" Wake up! Something's happened to Eldest Young Master, your most beloved Eldest Young Master! " Pearl shouted loudly into Dongfang Ziqing's ear. She was so shocked by her own voice that her head expanded up, not to mention the sight of Lu Ping on the ground.

"Big brother is in trouble!?" Dong Fang Ziqing sat up, looking at pearl in confusion. Just as she was about to berate pearl and yell in her ear, she saw that Pearl was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes. She suddenly became more clear-headed.

Although Pearl's personality was muddle-headed, and she was sometimes impulsive and impolite, she would never joke with her masters!

Feeling the seriousness of the situation, Dongfang Ziqing immediately grabbed Pearl's hand and asked anxiously, "You said that something happened to Big Brother, what is it? Didn't big brother just leave for the border crossing today? Could he have met a bandit? But with big brother's skill, even if it's a huge army, nothing would ever happen to you! "

"Miss!" Pearl interrupted Dongfang Ziqing's self-talk. She stomped her feet and pointed at Lu Ping, who was about to get up, saying, "It's a message from the Chief Eunuch. Miss, you should ask Big Sister Lu Ping about this!"

"Lu Ping, quickly tell me, what is going on? What exactly happened to Big Brother? " Without even wearing his shoes, Dongfang Ziqing stood up and got off the bed. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the cold air on the ground as she quickly walked towards Lu Ping.

"Empress, as for what exactly happened, even this servant is not very clear." Lu Ping hurriedly handed the shoes to Dongfang Ziqing. As she helped her put them on, she said, "Steward Bai only said that the Emperor sent people to capture General Dongfang and the other servants were completely unaware!"

"Capture Big Brother and bring him back to the capital!?" After hearing what Lu Ping said, Dongfang Ziqing staggered backwards. If it weren't for the pearl supporting her in time, she would have definitely fallen to the ground.

Dong Fang Zi Qing stared dumbly at the scene before her. For a moment, she couldn't say anything, but she understood what was going on in her heart.

No matter if Dongfang Zihan had really made a mistake or not, it was obvious that Xuanyuan Chen Mo was going to make a move against the Dongfang family! No wonder, after being married for three years, he had only touched her once, and it didn't have the slightest gentleness! No wonder she felt so lonely when he smiled at her every day.

So it turned out that ever since the ancient times, the Emperor of Chu had been suspicious!

So it turned out that all the emperors had been merciless!

Everything was just an illusion within a dream … Now, he was finally going to make a move on the Dongfang family, just like how all the other young heavenly sons would do, exterminating the powerful officials!

Then, it would be time for her, who was immersed in her so-called love, to wake up from her dream …

"Pearl, go get my phoenix imprint." Closing her eyes, Dongfang Ziqing took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself that Xuanyuan Chen Mo, because of his love for her, had bestowed her with the title of Empress!

Three years of husband and wife, they were all water moon, it was she alone obsessive want to fish the moon in the water, it was she alone boring!

"..." "Yes." After a moment of hesitation, Pearl immediately turned to look for the Phoenix Seal. Her usually innocent eyes were now covered with a layer of worry.

At this moment, her master was far from being as innocent and lively as she remembered! It was as if they were two different people, making it seem unreal.

"Empress, this matter cannot be done impulsively! Perhaps things are not as bad as we think. " She took a step forward and consoled Dongfang Ziqing in a low voice, hoping that she would be able to calmly face this matter. "Perhaps this was just a misunderstanding. The Emperor doted on you so much, how could he …"

"Lu Ping." After interrupting Lu Ping, Dongfang Ziqing could no longer deceive herself. These three years of being together with her had long allowed her to comprehend some facts that she had always been unwilling to admit. As intelligent as you are, you should have already predicted the outcome of today's events! " Dong Fang Qing laughed bitterly. The innocence in her eyes no longer existed, it had been replaced with bitterness and pain. "Even though you have served me for three years, you are not a servant of our Dongfang family. I believe that the Emperor will not make things difficult for you."

"Empress!" After hearing Dongfang Ziqing's words, Lu Ping felt touched in her heart. However, she still felt sympathy for her master. "Lu Ping is the Empress's palace maid, and will be the Empress's servant for the rest of her life!"

With a 'dong' sound, she kneeled on the ground and stubbornly looked at Dongfang Ziqing. The meaning in her words could not be clearer than the expression in her eyes.

"Lu Ping, why do you have to go through all this trouble!" She bent down to help Lu Ping up. Dong Fang Zi Qing shook her head gently and did not say much to persuade her. At this moment, she really did not have the time and mood to care about these trivial matters. "Lu Ping, you are an old man of the palace. Stay at the palace and inquire about the news!" Pearl and I will return to Dongfang Palace first. If there's anything you need, we can talk about it after we return to the palace. "

Patting Lu Ping's shoulder, Dong Fang Zi Qing nodded at her, took the phoenix imprint from the pearl in her hand, turned around and left.

"Empress!" Looking at Dongfang Ziqing's departing figure, Lu Ping shouted, "This servant will wait for the Empress here until she returns!"
