That night, Yan Mo Chen stayed in the Palace and chatted with Joe all night long. The two of them spoke softly, and when they looked at each other, they told each other everything that had happened, everything that had been misunderstood or hidden from each other.

Yan Mo Chen clenched Qiao Qiao once again. He did not expect that Ran Er had suffered so much in the dark.

"Ran Er, it used to be my fault …"

Every time when he thought of Ran Er entering the palace, all of the things he had done to her were still fresh in his mind. His heart couldn't help but tighten, wishing he could slap himself a few times to make up for the pain Ran'er had suffered.

"So be it." Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows and chuckled. After all, she was also responsible back then. Between the two of them, there was no right or wrong. What happened in the past was already completely over.

"However, I never thought that being too generous would actually turn out to be this kind of person." Yan Mo Chen narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Yu Zihui had really hidden himself well, to the point where he had been fooled by him.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed it either." Qiao once again lowered his eyebrows and sighed, then lifted his lips and said: "Can I settle her matter myself? Before we head to Spirit Mountain, I will personally settle all the matters between us and make her give me an explanation. "

"But …" He knew that since she decided to do something, it would be useless even if he tried to stop her. Since that was the case, he might as well just comply.

"Alright, I will send someone to protect you at all times." Yan Mo Chen caressed Qiao Qiao's shoulder and said softly.

"Right." Qiao Qiao still nodded her head. She knew that Yan Mo Chen had made his final compromise.

"I'll go to the court first. After I've settled things here, we'll head to Spirit Mountain immediately." Yan Mo Chen lifted his head and looked at the sky. Unknowingly, he started to chat with Ran Er about the day.

"Go." Joe waved his hand as gently as ever, a smile on his face.

"Take a rest." Yan Mo Chen's face was filled with affection as he walked out of the palace.

Qiao Qiao let out a faint smile as she looked at Yan Mo Chen's back as he left. The corners of her lips unconsciously curled up. It turned out that no matter how many things she had experienced, her useless personality had not changed even today …

After laughing lightly, she hid the smile on her face as a cold light flashed in her eyes. It was time for her to think of a way to deal with Yu Zihui.

"Qingwu." she whispered to the door.

When they saw that the emperor had already left early, they wanted to go to the palace to see how the Empress was doing. Last night, they had not been injured by Prime Minister Luo, but they were afraid that the Empress had already rested. The two had been at a loss for a long time, but they didn't dare to enter the inner palace.

"Empress, Empress, were you alright last night? That old fox Luo shouldn't have injured you, right?" As soon as Qingwu entered the door, she pulled Qiao Qiao up and down, sizing him up.

Xiu Luan stood to the side and looked at Qiao Qiao with concern.

Qiao Qiao, whose face was filled with tension and hesitation over the matter with Zi Hui, was suddenly made into a big smile by these two rushed girls. She was full of helplessness as she spoke to Qingwu and Xiu Luan with a long sigh.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, look. I'm fine here, right?"

After saying that, she raised her arm and twisted her waist as she elegantly made a turn in the middle of the inner hall.

"Aiya, esteemed Empress, you are pregnant now, how can you be this careless? Don't be so injured!"

Without waiting for Qiao Qiao to finish spinning the circle, he was stopped by Qingwu. She carefully supported him to the bed and looked at him reproachfully.

Qingwu's teasing caused Qiao Qiao to involuntarily let out a loud laugh. However, she still obediently obeyed Qingwu's words and obediently sat by the side of the bed. She could not help but ridicule:

"Qingwu ah, looking at how you are now like an old wet nurse supervising me, I think that in the future, Yan Mu will have to be at ease with the child in your womb!"

"Empress, you … What are you talking about! " Qingwu's face instantly turned red as she lowered her head and softly hummed.

"Haha."

Seeing Qingwu in such a state, Qiao Qiao still turned his head to look at Xiu Luan and smiled. His eyebrows were slightly bent and the entire Qian Qing Palace was in an extremely joyous atmosphere. It was a joyous and harmonious atmosphere.

"Esteemed Empress, please don't tease this servant anymore …"

Qingwu's face was as red as a ripe tomato, almost to the point that blood was about to drip. Qiao Qiao finally stopped smiling and said to Qingwu in all seriousness:

"Seriously, why don't we get Yan Mo Chen to give you a marriage when I return from Spirit Mountain?"

"Empress!" Qingwu raised her eyebrows. She originally thought that the Empress had some important matters to attend to, but she didn't expect that her solemn expression would actually make fun of her and Yan Mu.

"Haha, you are already old enough to get married. What is there to be embarrassed about …" Qiao Qiao and Xiu Luan continued to smile at each other. Then, a glint of light flashed across their eyes and their eyes swept over Xiu Luan's body. Then, Qiao Qiao slowly said, "Does Xiu Luan have someone she loves? "At that time, if you can marry Qingwu on the same day, I can also …"

"Niangniang, it's fine if you betroth elder sister Qingwu, but this servant will accompany you for the rest of my life." Xiu Luan hastily interrupted Qiao Qiao's words, afraid that his own mistress would set her sights on him in the future.

"Your servant …" This servant will also accompany the Empress! " Qingwu pouted and immediately added.

Qiao Qiao secretly laughed. She raised her hand and tightly gripped both Qingwu's and Xiu Luan's hands. She didn't have any regrets in having two loyal servants in this life!

Qingwu and Xiu Luan looked at each other before turning their heads to look at Qiao Yifan. The Empress was the only person they could rely on in their lives. Even if they had to go through fire and water for the Empress in the future, they would not hesitate!

"Alright, all of you will get married. Let's not talk about such sad topics anymore." Qiao Qiao still had a grin on his face as he patted Qingwu's and Xiu Luan's hands and slowly said, "In a few days, I'm afraid that I will go to Spirit Serenity Mountain …"

"Empress, we will accompany you!" Qingwu and Xiu Luan spoke in unison, interrupting Qiao Qiao's words without hesitation.

There was a hint of gentleness between his brows. He parted his lips slightly and said, "If you all come with me, then no matter if it's the previous dynasty or the imperial harem, Yan Mo Chen and I will not have anyone trustworthy left …"

"But esteemed wangfei, the journey to Spirit Gloomy Mountain is far, and the terrain is dangerous. How can this servant let esteemed wangfei take the risk alone!" Qingwu said nervously.

"That's right, esteemed Empress. Even if your life is not in danger, you still have a little girl by your side to serve you. Besides, the Empress is pregnant right now, so it's not too convenient to travel." Xiu Luan added with a worried expression.

Qiao Qiao's lips were still curled up slowly, and his face was filled with a gentle glow.

"Yan Mo Chen will come with me. We will take care of each other if there's anything. We will pass the previous dynasty to Yan Mu and Tracing, and the imperial harem to the two of you. Only then will Yan Mo Chen and I be able to leave in peace." Joe tried again.

Qingwu and Xiu Luan's expressions became slightly downcast. Although they did not want to admit to themselves that the Empress's words were reasonable, if the two of them really insisted on following her, perhaps at a critical moment, they would drag the Empress down.

"Alright, rest assured. We will be back soon." Qiao Qiao patted Qingwu and Xiu Luan's shoulders and softly said.

"Then the Empress and the emperor must return early …" The two of them lowered their heads, their faces filled with reluctance.

"Yes, I will. I'll leave the Forgotten Nation to you." Qiao Qiao nodded to the two of them, speaking with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, Empress."

"Before I leave, I have something important to do." Joe said, still frowning.

"Empress, please speak."

"Today, the two of you will spread the rumor that I had faked a small birth in the palace. That day, in order to protect the fetus in my womb, I had no choice but to make this decision." Qiao Qiao's face was still cold as he instructed Qingwu and Xiu Luan with a strict expression.

"Your Highness, you … "Why is that?" Qingwu and Xiu Luan were also puzzled. The Empress had kept it a secret for so long because she hoped that the baby in her womb would not be targeted by the thieves. Why did he advertise it this way?

"Now that the child has been hiding it for two months, I'm afraid that it won't be able to hide it for long. Since I can't hide it any longer, I might as well use it to lure Zihui in and get rid of her before I head for Spirit Mountain." Qiao Qiao's eyes were still cold. No matter what, she had long planned for the child in her womb. Moreover, she and Yu Zihui had dragged this out for so long. It was about time for them to reveal their cards.

"Yes, this servant understands!"

Qingwu and Xiu Luan nodded, knowing what the Empress was thinking. The two of them also quietly retreated, after all Yu Zihui had already lost two of their generals, Luo Qingqing and Prime Minister Luo, and Qing Xun had been taken away by that mysterious old man and his whereabouts were unknown.

Because of Qingwu and Xiu Luan's departure, the palace became quiet again. Qiao Qiao's eyes were still soft. He raised his hand to his stomach and gently said, "Child, could you be like your father, secretly complaining to your mother about how you used you to get rid of the bad guys?"

Following which, she couldn't help but laugh. The child in her womb isn't even in human form yet, but she is actually so worried that the child will blame her …

Qiao Qiao continued to smile slightly and then lay down on the bed. She had not slept the entire night and besides, there was probably a tough battle to fight today. She should take advantage of the fact that it was still early and make up for her sleep.
