Chapter 168: Colorless
Lan Qingwu shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she stared intently into the eyes of Emperor Shenwu, as if trying to see something.
The Emperor Shenwu understood in his heart that Lan Qingwu had guessed what was going on after what happened two days ago. He stroked Lan Qingwu's cheek and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay now."
"How can it be okay?" Lan Qingwu's tears finally fell, she choked with sobs: "How can it be okay? Brother Heng...it's all because of weakness, right..."
Emperor Shenwu picked up Lan Qingwu and carried him directly into the bedroom. He gently soothed Lan Qingwu for a long time before Lan Qingwu gradually calmed down.
Emperor Shenwu scratched the tip of her nose and said, "You're almost going to be a mother, and you're still crying. Be careful that your child will be as crybaby as you when he's born!"
Lan Qingwu retorted, "No way! The child will be very good. Brother Heng is worried about the child now. You must like the child more than Ruo Ruo."
The Shenwu Emperor caressed Lan Qingwu's belly with his large hand: "Are you even jealous of my child? In my heart, weakness is always the most important."
"In my weak heart, Brother Heng is also the most important!" Lan Qingwu gently kissed the eyes of Emperor Shenwu with piety, love and cherishment.
Emperor Shenwu's heart began to beat wildly. He closed his eyes, feeling the care and love of his beloved.
Emperor Shenwu supported Lan Qingwu with his arms. He looked at the sorrow in her eyes and said, "Don't be sad! I knew from a young age that I was different from ordinary people. My world was colorless, but then I met you, and my life was filled with color. Ruo Ruo, now, as long as you are by my side, I can see all the colors. So don't be sad!"
Lan Qingwu leaned into the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor for a long time without saying a word. She had never felt before how much this naturally noble man loved her. That love filled her heart so much that she could hardly bear it.
That night, the two of them hugged each other tightly, and Emperor Shenwu was reluctant to let go of his hand even a little bit.
Lan Qingwu had another dream. In it, the Emperor Shenwu held her unconscious body in his arms as he walked hopelessly through the underground chambers of the Miaoling Palace. On that lonely and painful road, she seemed to see through the Emperor's eyes, watching everything in the world gradually lose its color, leaving only black and white.
Tears slowly rolled down the corners of Lan Qingwu's eyes.
In Baifu Pavilion, the three concubines were sipping tea. Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and none of them spoke first. For a moment, the air was silent.
After a while, Concubine Wan lost her temper first. She put down the teacup in her hand with a thud, breaking the unbearable silence. "Sister Jiang Fei, Concubine Yi is the only pregnant woman in the palace right now, and she has always been frail. It's only natural for His Majesty to favor her. But now that Concubine Yi can't sleep with you, His Majesty still only favors her! The Empress Dowager hasn't been asking about the affairs of the harem lately. His Majesty used to have no scruples, and now he favors whoever he wants!"
Concubine Jiang glanced at Concubine Wan and said, "Then what are you going to do? When has His Majesty ever cared about the rules of the harem? He can be cold or pampered as he pleases! Once Concubine Yi gives birth to the dragon fetus, His Majesty's heart will be settled, and His Majesty will no longer be solely devoted to Concubine Yi."
Concubine Chen couldn't help but say, "Yes! Wait a minute, wait until Concubine Yi gives birth to a prince. Concubine Yi is weak and sickly, so she needs to be more careful while she is pregnant with the prince."
She is pregnant, but who says that if she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, she will be able to give birth safely?
Concubine Chen continued, "Just seeing how favored Concubine Yi is and how much His Majesty values the fetus in her womb, I'm afraid... His Majesty values this prince very much! As for the other princes..."
