Chapter 154 Fear
Chapter 154 Fear
After bathing, the palace servants lowered the curtains and blew out the candles.
The bedroom was quiet.
The moonlight came in through the window lattice, and the wind was gentle and soft.
Meng Wu Yue quietly opened his eyes and looked at the calm face of the person beside him.
His eyebrows were like ink paintings, his nose was high and straight, and his face was handsome. Meng Wu Yue was afraid of disturbing the man and waking him up, so she only imagined the man's appearance and features in her mind and did not dare to touch him.
His Majesty's face was still as handsome and youthful as when she first saw him when she married into the Eastern Palace. The passage of time seemed to have only added a bit of majesty to His Majesty.
Has His Majesty changed? Meng Wuyue fell into memories.
His Majesty was in a stable mood and always treated her and Ronglu in a gentle and friendly manner.
He is a dignified yet gentle and considerate husband, and also Ronglu's steady and reliable father.
After being married to His Majesty for so many years, Meng Wuyue couldn't even remember if he had ever lost control of his emotions.
Even when Meng Wuyue recalled his anger on the day of Crown Prince Zhaohui's funeral, it only flashed across his calm eyes.
Does Meng Wu Yue know what his daughter wants to know today?
but......
Qin Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, without a trace of confusion in them.
Meng Wuyue's pupils shrank slightly and he was startled.
"My beloved concubine, why are you still not asleep? Why are you staring at me? Do I look good?"
How could he sleep with someone staring at him intently?
Qin Zhi reached out and gently stroked Meng Wu Yue's snow-white and smooth skin, then lifted a strand of her raven-colored hair and sniffed it, chuckled, and asked softly.
Qin Zhi's attitude was very gentle, but Meng Wuyue couldn't help trembling.
"Your Majesty, I can't sleep. Today, Ronglu told me that he wanted a younger brother before he surrendered."
Meng Wu Yue lowered her eyelashes to hide her severe fear, bit her lips lightly, and moved forward to hug Qin Zhi.
"My beloved concubine, are you inviting me now?" Qin Zhi couldn't help but teasing.
"His Majesty!"
Meng Wu Yue put her arms around Qin Zhi's neck, lowered her head and gently bit Qin Zhi's shoulder, saying coquettishly.
"My dear, why are you shaking? My heart is beating so fast." Qin Zhi asked, placing his hand on Meng Wuyue's chest.
Are you afraid of something?
I'm a little disappointed.
As the woman who has been with me for the longest time and the concubine who gave birth to my eldest daughter, how can you be afraid of me?
"Did the Queen Mother say anything to you?"
Qin Zhi turned over and pressed Meng Wu Yue under him, then leaned over to her ear and whispered.
When Meng Wuyue heard Qin Zhi's words, he froze for a moment.
"My beloved?" Qin Zhi kissed Meng Wuyue's earlobe.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid.
I learned from the Empress Dowager that Concubine Lu Zhen was plotting to kill my sister and the Fourth Prince in order to obtain my position as Imperial Concubine.
I was thinking that if my sister and the Fourth Prince had worse luck and Concubine Zhen had really succeeded, then the Fourth Prince, whom my sister had given birth to after ten months of hard work, would probably have suffered the same misfortune as my Second Prince Mingheng.
Today, Ronglu told me that he wanted a younger brother. I was worried that if I gave birth to a little prince, I would not be able to protect him, so I was afraid. "
"is it?
The Queen Mother actually told you the secrets about her niece. It seems that the sincere love you have shown me for ten years has finally earned the Queen Mother's gratitude."
Qin Zhi said expressionlessly.
"The Empress Dowager is a kind mother-in-law. I am the concubine who has lived with the Empress Dowager for the longest time. How could I not have feelings for her?
But Concubine Zhen was the Empress Dowager's blood-related niece after all, so the Empress Dowager did not actually say it explicitly.
I completed this based on the fragmentary remarks made by the Empress Dowager.
Judging from your Majesty's reaction, my guess is correct."
Qin Zhi gently touched Meng Wuyue's long hair and said, "My beloved concubine, I am sorry for your hardship. If my beloved concubine gets pregnant with Ronglu's brother or sister again, I will definitely protect him well."
Meng Wu Yue was so tense that he couldn't help sobbing.
"Don't cry, my love!"
My beloved concubine is so smart. Even in a panic situation, she was able to react so well. It's a real talent. You are worthy of being my Noble Concubine Yi.
"My dear, let's go to bed. I'm sleepy."
Meng Wuyue buried his head in Qin Zhi's chest and closed his eyes.
But my heart still beats like a drum.
