Chapter 327 Response
Lan Qingwu's tears suddenly fell, and she finally threw herself into the arms of the Shenwu Emperor, "Brother Heng, if you do this, you will spoil Ruo Ruo. Ruo Ruo will take it seriously!"
Emperor Shenwu said dissatisfiedly: "Is what I said false?"
Lan Qingwu responded seriously, "Alright! As long as Brother Heng never lets go of Ruo Ruo's hand, Ruo Ruo will never retreat! - And I will never give Brother Heng to anyone else!"
Emperor Shenwu couldn't help laughing. His chest swelled up again, as if filled to the brim with something. He stretched out his long arm and used a little force to press Lan Qingwu down. "Weakling, you have such ambition! Have you been so busy taking care of the children these days that you've forgotten me?"
The Seventh Prince was well, and the two of them had resolved their misunderstandings and overcome a hurdle. Their relationship was sublimated again, and they finally had the leisure to spend some quality time together.
But the Shenwu Emperor was not feeling well that night. Lan Qingwu would ask him to be quieter, then would take the initiative to hook his arms around the waist and not let go, tossing the Shenwu Emperor until sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Ruo, are you doing this on purpose? Are you doing this to me again? Do you think I feel sorry for you? Are you torturing me like this?"
Lan Qingwu's cheeks flushed slightly as she panted softly, "It's hard for a woman to adapt to this kind of thing when she's in her teens or twenties. The first time my husband treated me like this, I was just scared."
Emperor Shenwu suppressed his urge and said, "Is it my fault again? But, weakling, you've already given birth to three children for me, and your body has long been like a blooming flower. You've become accustomed to my love and care. From now on, I won't be polite!"
As Emperor Shenwu spoke, his movements became more and more crazy. He did not hold back at all. In the storm, Lan Qingwu was swept onto the waves.
Lan Qingwu couldn't help but moan, but then Emperor Shenwu kissed her tender lips hard, and Lan Qingwu's voice was blocked in her throat.
The mandarin ducks embraced each other, and their affection was blended together. Finally, Lan Qingwu fainted unconsciously in the arms of Emperor Shenwu.
But this was not the end. In the early morning, Lan Qingwu was dazed and hugged from behind by Emperor Shenwu. She woke up and was knocked unconscious again by Emperor Shenwu.
Lan Qingwu hadn't been able to get out of bed for the past two days, her legs so weak she couldn't even stand. Her skin, originally icy and delicate, was now dotted with purple marks. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but secretly criticize the Emperor Shenwu in her heart. Could it be that Brother Heng was secretly taking revenge on her?
She was always not very docile, and would occasionally throw tantrums with the Emperor Shenwu. In fact, Lan Qingwu knew that the Emperor Shenwu himself also enjoyed his temper! If she were always submissive, there would be too many women in the harem like that.
After secretly criticizing the Emperor Shenwu for a few words, he finally lay back on the bed to rest. He asked Ruping again, "Remember to check on the Seventh Prince."
Ru Ping gently lowered the bed curtains: "Your Majesty, please don't worry! I am worried about you! Today, the Sixth Prince came back to visit as usual, and the Second Prince came to visit the Seventh Prince again today."
Lan Qingwu paused and said, "Well, it's rare that Xiaoqi and the Second Prince get along so well. Let's go! Just keep an eye on it!"
Lan Qingwu closed his eyes for a while and asked, "Ruping, explain these things to me again."
Ru Ping held her breath and calmed her mind. She thought for a moment before saying, "That little beauty is a scapegoat. She said on the surface that she was jealous of the Empress's good fortune and the most children in the harem. When she first entered the palace, she was pregnant and couldn't keep the baby. It was purely jealousy and she was taken advantage of. There's no need to talk about Concubine Shi. She attacked the Seventh Prince because she was targeting you. Of course, the Shi family is not wronged. This touched the bottom line of Your Majesty and affected the royal heir, so Your Majesty has no mercy on the Shi family. And...Princess Mingzhu is now wholeheartedly trying to compete with Your Majesty. You can see from the decree of Your Majesty that she took advantage of this matter and interfered, spreading some bad words. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have been so disrespectful to Princess Mingzhu when she was about to go out!"
Lan Qingwu's mind raced, and she finally said, "Looking around, it seems everyone in this palace is my enemy! The concubines are fine, but is this eldest princess bent on speaking up for her mother? Well, I don't care what her intentions are. I'll send her out in a few months, and that will be my fulfillment of His Majesty."
No matter what, she was the eldest daughter of the Emperor Shenwu, and Lan Qingwu really couldn't do anything to her personally. However, she had to be on guard and make arrangements for other things in advance: "Tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange personal servants for the eldest princess. Remember, don't deliberately hide it from His Majesty. His Majesty always knows the reason why I did this!"
Ru Ping said sternly, "Yes, I understand."
Ru Ping then took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, what about Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan?"
Lan Qingwu frowned slightly. "After the Sixth Prince has visited Little Seven, have him come over to have lunch with me. I haven't seen the Seventh Princess much these days, so bring her over this afternoon!"
Ru Ping couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, I'm keeping a close eye on the Seventh Princess. I dare not make any mistakes. Now that the Seventh Prince is just starting to improve, you also have to take care of your own health and His Majesty. You're not a superhuman, so don't get exhausted at this time! Let go when you need to. Ru Han, Ru Yan, Ru Yue, Qiu Lan and I are all here by your side!"
Lan Qingwu fell asleep amidst Ruping's rambling: "Ruping, you're so nice. It's so nice to have you two! Having many children means more worries!"
Ruping looked at the tired Lan Qingwu, carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and quietly stepped aside to watch.
After the Sixth Prince and Lan Qingwu finished their lunch and drank a few sips of digestive tea, the Sixth Prince said, "Mother, you have worked hard these days. I am an unfilial son and have failed to protect you and my younger brother."
Lan Qingwu's heart was sour, bitter, and soft. "What nonsense! At that time, as long as you and your sister were fine, you were filial to the Queen Mother. You are the Queen Mother's first child, but the Queen Mother spent the least time with you. All she gave you was food, clothing, shelter, and arrangements. Everything else was arranged by your father. The Queen Mother doesn't understand anything else and can't help you with anything. But you must remember that the Queen Mother wants you to take care of your health! Your body and hair are given by your parents, and the Queen Mother only cares about you."
The Sixth Prince couldn't help but tear up. "Mother, I understand what you said. Mother, I think the same as you do. I hope you will be well and stay in love with your father for a hundred years. This will be the greatest help to me."
Lan Qingwu was stunned, and then she understood what the Sixth Prince meant. Yes! As long as they were protected by the heart of an emperor, this was the greatest protection for their children. However, the Sixth Prince was only ten years old when he said this, which still surprised Lan Qingwu and made her feel uncomfortable. "Mother understands what you mean. You should go your own way in the future. Mother will always be behind you to support you!"
The Sixth Prince smiled sincerely. In his opinion, his own mother was the best. In this harem, which prince's mother could be like Lan Qingwu!
Lan Qingwu asked again: "What do your eldest and second brothers think about this?"
The Sixth Prince wasn't surprised by his mother's question. "So far, it seems there's nothing wrong or scheming. Of course, it could be that they're just too good at disguising themselves. It's just that Father recently ordered an investigation of the guards and servants who accompanied them to Bianyu City. I requested an investigation of everyone around me. Leaving me alone would be embarrassing for my eldest and second brothers, so Father has approved."
However, the way his people investigated was naturally different from that of his elder and second brothers, and this was something everyone knew.
Lan Qingwu said with relief: "You have really grown up. Now that you know what's going on, your mother is relieved."
Since nothing has been found out, we might as well believe it and move on.
