"Your majesty!" In the inner hall of the Dry and Clear Palace, Doctor Liu's face was filled with joy as he cupped his hands and bowed to Yan Mo Chen.

"How is she? How did you faint? " Yan Mo Chen's face was anxious as he shouted at Imperial Physician Liu.

"Congratulations, your majesty! Congratulations, your majesty!" Imperial Physician Liu looked overjoyed as he smiled at Yan Mo Chen. "Esteemed Empress Dowager is delighted."

"What?" There's joy! " Yan Mo Chen was stunned, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He was happy, but Ran Er was happy. It was his child! His child!

Yan Mo Chen was wild with joy. If it wasn't for the crowd, he would have started dancing.

"That's right, your majesty. Esteemed wangfei really does have a happy bloodline." Imperial Physician Liu replied with a smile.

Yan Mo Chen's face was filled with joy and he was extremely excited. He rubbed his hands together and with warmth, he strode into the inner hall.

Yu Zihui, who was standing in the outer palace hall of the palace, slightly frowned before revealing a happy expression.

Yan Mo Chen entered the inner hall and gripped Qiao Qiao's cold hands tightly. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and with a cold expression, he walked out of the hall, and shouted at Liu Gonggong, Yu Zihui, and Die'er who were in the outer hall:

"No one is allowed to bring up the matter of the concubine's pregnancy, otherwise you will be killed without question!"

The three of them looked at each other in dismay and shock. They really didn't know why the emperor would block the concubine's pregnancy. Even the concubine herself didn't know.

Wasn't this supposed to be a joyous event to announce to the world?

"Did you hear that?!" When Yan Mo Chen saw the three people kneeling down in front of him, he could not help but shout out coldly.

"Yes, this old official understands."

"Chenqie understands."

"This servant understands."

The three of them answered in unison.

​

When Qiao Qiao woke up, it was already the afternoon of the third day. When she opened her eyes, she saw Dia'Er crying as she stood in front of the bed. She helplessly smiled. This girl really loved to cry.

"Die'er …" After lying on the ground for three days, her entire body was limp as she weakly called out to the tearful Die'er.

"Mother …" "Empress!"

Die'er was shocked and immediately stopped crying. Although she knew that her mistress was alright and was only a bit addicted to sleeping due to her pregnancy, she could not force herself to stay unconscious for three whole days no matter how much she slept. She really did not feel at ease, so she started to sob as if she were a person who was slowly getting up from the bed.

"Empress, you're awake. You're finally awake."

Qiao Qiao's mind was still dizzy for a moment. Her mind, which had already fainted for some unknown reason, was in a state of chaos. When she woke up today and was shaken by this little girl, her mind was as sticky as paste.

"Empress, you couldn't have gone to the forbidden area and been scared silly, right?" Die'er saw that Qiao was still in a state of shock. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wave it in front of her eyes.

Forbidden Area … Joe couldn't help but shudder. Yes! The day before yesterday, she had gone to the forbidden area with Yu Zihui, and that was the bamboo bridge she had built for Luo Qinglun. However, the moment she stepped onto the bridge, she unexpectedly heard a muffled sound.

"How did I get back the day before yesterday?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but frown as he asked Die'er.

"Esteemed wangfei helped you return after you fainted the other day." Die'er replied. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself. Thinking of the order from the Emperor himself, she stopped herself from speaking the truth to Qiao Qiao.

"Where's Esteemed Empress Hui right now?" It seemed like he would have to find Yu Ziyi and find out how she had fainted.

"Since Esteemed Empress Hui had brought back the Empress, she couldn't rest at ease. When you arrived at the palace, this servant saw that Esteemed wangfei was really tired, so I told her to go back and rest. Esteemed wangfei came yesterday at noon, so I'm afraid Esteemed wangfei will come by at this hour as well." Die'er turned her head to look outside the door and said to Qiao Qiao with a nod.

"Un …" Joe still answered, then rubbed his temples, still having a headache.

"Empress, the previous evening there had not been any water dripping. This servant has already instructed the imperial kitchens to prepare porridge. You can have a drink first." Die'er said this, then took the bowl of porridge from the table and put it to Joe's lips.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" A short while later, the entrance of the palace was filled with a hubbub. Qiao Qing couldn't help but furrow his brows and place the bowl of porridge to the side.

"Ran Fei is awake?" When Yan Mo Chen walked in from the outer hall, he said those words and then continued to talk for a while, "Have you eaten? Remember to cook more porridge. Oh right, tell the imperial kitchens to boil some ostrich soup and add some supplements. "

Eunuch Zhao quickly followed, carefully remembering the emperor's words.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Empress is awake." Die'er stood in the inner hall and responded. She put the bowl of porridge away, turned around and bowed to Eunuch Zhao before retreating, giving the two of them a quiet space.

"How are you feeling?" Yan Mo Chen sat by the bed and looked at Qiao Qiao with reproach. It seemed that this woman was too careless and did not even know that he was pregnant.

"Nothing." Joe shook his head.

"Why did you go there?" Yan Mo Chen frowned, towards Qiao Qiao's unintentional intrusion into the forbidden area, the jealousy in his heart was definitely greater than his anger.

"I was just walking there." Qiao Qiao still shook his head, still feeling a little drowsy.

"Headache?" Yan Mo Chen's words of reproach were repressed when he saw Qiao Qiao still frowning. His eyes were filled with worry.

"Why did that place become a forbidden area?" Qiao Qiao still avoided the worry in Yan Mo Chen's eyes and asked with a serious face.

"Why?" Yan Mo Chen's warm face could not help but be filled with cold air for a while. "Could it be that you don't know?"

"Because that was the place I ordered the overseer to build for Luo Qinglun?" Qiao Qiao was still in a daze. How could he care so much about what she had done for other men?

Yan Mo Chen did not admit it, but he did not deny it either. He only raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was expressing his approval of Qiao Qiao's words.

"What's behind the arch?" Qiao Qiao still blinked and asked.

"You don't remember the place you built?" Yan Mo Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could not blame Qiao Qiao for anything.

"I …" "I …" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but be speechless. If she told him that she wasn't the old Qiao, would he still believe her? That was a place the old Qiao Qiao had built, how could she know …

"It's the fake mountain cave." When Yan Mo Chen replied again, a blue vein could not help but appear on his forehead, his face was cold and his eyes were filled with indignation.

Qiao Qiao could not help but be surprised. Seeing how Yan Mo Chen was so concerned about it, could it be that the cave was the secret place where she and Luo Qing Lun had flirted in the past?

As he thought of this, Qiao Qiao was once again covered in sweat. He didn't expect that the previous Qiao Qiao was still this ridiculous. Was it because he wanted to fight a wild battle with his second wife in the cave?

Tsk tsk tsk tsk … Even the open-minded Joe couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body. He didn't expect the ancient emperor to play with him so much.

"Do you remember now?" Yan Mo Chen secretly frowned. Seeing that Qiao Qiao still had a look of disdain on his face, he felt at ease in his heart. Now, did she know of the absurd mistake he made in the past? This girl had been really bold before. Luckily, he suppressed her at every turn, otherwise, the entire sky of Qiao State would be dyed yellow by her.

"No, I didn't." Qiao Qiao still bit her lower lip. Wouldn't it make her sick to death if she thought about it? When she thought about Luo Qinglun's weak and frail appearance, the disgust in her heart increased by 30%.

Yan Mo Chen didn't respond, he just snorted and thought back to the night he stole her from the Palace. He still vividly remembered the look of her when she was just born, but it didn't seem like the look he had at all.

Could it be that after she woke up from that one slash, something really went wrong with her?

Yan Mo Chen continuously looked Qiao Qiao up and down. His appearance and looks were without a doubt, but his personality and temperament seemed to have lost all traces of his past. He had initially suspected her, but he could not find any proof of it.

"Esteemed wangfei has arrived ~"

While Yan Mo Chen was deep in thought, he heard the announcement outside of the palace pulling him back to reality.

Qiao Qiao's face was still full of joy. Since Yu Zihui had come, then things had changed a bit the other day.

"Hui'er."

Qiao Qiao continued to watch as the figure entered the room. Just as he was about to get up from the bed to welcome her, it was a pity that her actions were firmly suppressed by Yan Mo Chen beside the bed.

"Lie still." He spoke coldly.

"Chenqie greets Your Majesty and Sister Qiao." Yu Ziyi saw Yan Mo Chen here, nodded his head and lowered his eyebrows, while his words also became a bit more restrained.

"Get up." Yan Mo Chen's eyes were indifferent, his broad and strong palm was still on Qiao Qiao's bed, firmly pressing down on the dishonest woman in the bed.

"Hui'er, come here quickly." Qiao Qiao still saw that there was no other way out of the bed. He could only wave to Yu Ziyi and say this.

"Sister Qiao, this …" Yu Ziyi's eyes were glued onto Yan Mo Chen. With the emperor around, she didn't dare to go over.

"You guys chat, I still have something to take care of." Yan Mo Chen immediately got up and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at Qiao Qiao with eyes full of threat. "The imperial physician said that you can't get out of bed in the near future. Your body is too weak. You should take care of yourself."

However, Qiao Qiao was still looking at Yan Mo Chen in shock. She could not help but nod her head. She felt that there was something wrong with Yan Mo Chen today, but she could not tell where it was different.

The corners of Yan Mo Chen's lips curled up. Before he left, he swiped across Yu Zhi Hui's body with a stern expression, then flicked his sleeves and left.
