She finally decided to chase after him to see what would happen.

After a while, He Lan Chun suddenly heard a stifled 'Ah!' from Rong Xiu.

He turned around and realized that her foot had landed on an unknown spot. It was already bleeding and her embroidered shoes were covered with blood stains.

Rong Xiu had been trying her best to resist, so he didn't notice. Just now, she had gotten injured again. She couldn't bear the pain anymore, so she cried out.

He Lan Chun frowned and stopped.

The others kneeled far away, not daring to get close.

The emperor and empress were at loggerheads in the Prime Minister's Estate. They could hide anywhere they wanted, and all the servants knew that.

Thus, He Lan Xue was able to stay very close to Rong Xiu, who was beside the fake mountain cave.

He could see her fair and straight neck through her cloud-like hair.

Small ears.

Even fine fluff.

However, despite being so close and seeing so clearly, his heart was at peace.

He Lan Xue held her breath, leaned her back against the cold mountain rock, and carefully looked outside.

He Lan Chun looked silently at Rong Xiu, who also looked silently at him.

For many years, most of the time, the two of them had just remained silent. If they were not silent, then they would stab each other.

When was the last time they had talked in peace?

He Lan Chun thought about it carefully, but couldn't recall anything.

He let go of her, stepped back, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky.

The afternoon was clear and cloudless.

The emptiness of the blue and white made He Lan Chun loosen up a bit, a little bit, a little bit.

Rong Xiu still didn't speak. Her fingers were linked to her heart. The touch of her foot must be extremely painful. Her complexion was a bit pale, but her body was still standing upright.

"Why did you get pregnant instead of Ruo Lan?" He Lan Chun suddenly said, baffled.

Murong Xiu was stunned and didn't know how to reply.

"If you have our child, I will love her wholeheartedly. I will give her everything that is best in Heaven." He Lan Chun continued, "Give her everything I can't promise you."

Rong Xiu looked at He Lan Chun in shock. As he read, he suddenly understood.

That feeling of understanding was extremely vague, but it was also extremely clear.

"Murong Xiu, give birth to a child for me." As long as you have a child... As long as we have children, we don't have to do this. " He Lan Chun's expression was extremely tactful. In other words, even he himself did not know what he wanted to express.

Rong Xiu's eyes began to tear up.

No matter what, he still said it out loud.

It wasn't that he didn't care about her. It was just that he couldn't promise. There were many things he couldn't promise.

Whether it was pride, suspicion, or bad intentions, he still had this thought.

Rong Xiu suddenly took a step forward and lightly walked in front of He Lan Chun.

She stretched out her finger, slicing through He Lan Chun's brow, which was still locked tight. Her finger brushed against the fine lines on his forehead, and then, very gently, she slid across his outline.

They had been married for five years, but this was their most intimate action.

In the past, if he hadn't retorted sarcastically, he had ravaged her without a word, leaving her alone as she silently wept in the tent.

He Lan Chun did not move, but allowed her fingers to move across his face.

The first thing he did not realize was that his actions were also emotional. The feeling flowed out from his fingertips, making him feel very uncomfortable, yet unable to push it away.

"Come on, I'll give you a baby." She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around He Lan Chun's neck.

At first, He Lan Chun was stiff, but in the next moment, he also fiercely hugged her.

But children, children are different, children will have her beauty, her light, he can love her with all his heart, and she, will completely belong to him!

"Give me a daughter!" As He Lan Chun spoke, he took off the last piece of clothing on her body.

A warm kiss gently fell on her lips.

She turned around and quietly walked away from the other exit of the fake mountain.

He heard her happiness, heard their happiness. It was enough.

As she walked, she found it funny. After enduring for a long time, she finally burst out laughing.

His eyes were filled with tears as he laughed.

Pei Ruochen stood silently outside the Town Hall, waiting for He Lan Chun's summons.

The eunuch who went to inform the king replied in the same tone as before, "His Majesty has something to attend to, please wait for a moment."

Pei Ruochen was not anxious at all. She had waited for four hours already, so a moment was nothing.

There was no trace of impatience on his face.

It was very quiet, without any clues.

The eunuch in charge of the report felt a little embarrassed. He moved closer to Pei Ruochen and asked fawningly, "Your Excellency, do you want to go to esteemed Empress Lan first and wait for His Majesty to summon you?"

A smile appeared on Pei Ruochen's elegant face. He replied politely, "I think it's better to meet His Majesty first before going with His Majesty to meet the Empress. It's inconvenient for men to enter the imperial harem."

The eunuch's horse smacked against the horse's leg, causing him to be speechless and retreat to the side.

Pei Ruochen remained standing at the entrance of the Town Hall with her eyebrows knitted together, as though she was a loyal official.

The eunuch looked at Pei Ruochen before raising his head to look at the sky and silently cursed: [The Emperor is leaving the palace. When will he return?]

When He Lan Chun returned, the sky was already filled with stars.

Pei Ruochen just stood there in the cold spring, not saying a word and waiting until now.

When the eunuch heard the news that the emperor had returned to the palace, he could not help but let out a breath of relief. He hurriedly ran to Pei Ruochen's side and passed on the latest news to the young official.

Pei Ruochen had already waited for at least eight hours, and even the eunuchs felt that she was sweating. However, Master Pei did not seem to resent her at all, as if he had just returned from a stroll in the garden, and had happily left to meet her.

Such a realm was not something that an ordinary person could possess.

The eunuchs' hearts were filled with admiration, and they did not notice the frown on Pei Ruochen's face as she was moving away.

After all, he had been standing for too long, and his knees were a little sore.

When he moved, it was like he was on fire.

— — Actually, with Pei Ruochen's status and identity, it would be nothing even if he were to surpass He Lan Chun and visit Pei Ruolan directly.

However, he must adhere to the rules and be careful. He would not leave a single word of advice behind.

Power is ice.

He was already on thin ice.

He followed the eunuch all the way through the main hall, through the corridors, and finally stopped in front of the profound entrance of the Town Hall.

Pei Ruochen lowered her head, bowed her head, and greeted him with a respectful bow, "This subject, Pei Ruochen, respectfully greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long enough, and the Empress Dowager live long enough."

He Lan Chun had just changed his clothes, and the eunuch in charge of daily affairs was kneeling down and giving He Lan Chun a belt. He Lan Chun opened his hands, glanced at Pei Ruochen, cleared his throat and asked, "I heard that Prime Minister waited outside the palace for eight hours? May I know what is the matter? "

"This subject heard that the princess and esteemed imperial concubine had some unpleasant conflict, and even caused esteemed wangfei to lose her temper. This subject was terrified and came to apologize to esteemed wangfei, hoping to pray for the esteemed Empress's blessings." Pei Ruochen replied unhurriedly.

He Lan Chun snorted and pushed away the eunuch who could not be tied to the belt. He then beckoned to Pei Ruochen, "My beloved, please tie it up for me."

Pei Ruochen paused for a moment, then lowered her head and stepped forward, swiftly and easily arranging the belt for He Lan Chun.

His expression remained calm, as if it had been shaped by a transparent veil: the outside world could no longer invade his senses.

"I've just gone to my beloved disciple's residence." After Pei Ruochen was done, she slowly pushed the door open and He Lan Chun suddenly said.

"Oh." Pei Ruochen was taken aback, but she remained calm and collected.

"The empress insisted on not returning to the palace and let her stay with the princess for a period of time. In this period of time, you have to protect the empress thoroughly." He Lan Chun said again.

In the end, he did not bring Murong Xiu back to the palace, nor did he wish for their relationship to break through the ice.

"As you command." Pei Ruochen was not the least bit surprised. Her expression seemed to say, "You are the Emperor. I have no objections."
