Chapter 297: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (16)
A sour smell came, and Zhan Linxiao almost vomited along with her.
"......" Zhan Linxiao resisted the urge to push Gu Zhen away immediately, "My beloved, you have worked hard to be pregnant. I will not disturb you anymore. I will come to see you another day."
After saying this, he quickly left Changle Palace.
Bi Ru asked someone to clean up the filth and helped Gu Zhen to wash up carefully. It took her a while before she felt the nausea in her heart was suppressed.
"Madam, would you like to ask the imperial physician to come back and take a look?"
"It's just a normal reaction, no need to make a fuss. Go and have a rest, and don't let anyone in." Gu Zhen leaned on the couch, her eyes always looking at the windowsill, where there was a small light blue flower.
It’s Gu Jiuyuan who is here.
Bi Ru had no choice but to cover her with a thin blanket, close the door, and tell the palace servants to leave.
The gauze curtains in the inner room moved without wind, blocking the light in front of Gu Zhen. She raised her eyes and looked at the person who came in: "You appear and disappear like a ghost, are all your secret guards like this?"
"Master, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Jiuyuan didn't answer, but just looked at her worriedly.
Gu Zhen shook her head. It was just a pregnancy. She was just thinking about the plot so she seemed distracted, which made everyone around her nervous.
But when Gu Jiuyuan saw her nonchalant look, he felt distressed.
Perhaps the master herself does not know how pitiful and lovable she looks now, without any makeup, with her hair half tied up and wearing only ordinary underwear.
When Zhan Linxiao sat there and touched her face, Gu Jiuyuan almost couldn't help but rush out to kill this man.
The master was pregnant with his child, and she had to endure the discomfort to deal with the emperor and deal with him.
Gu Jiuyuan felt that he was incompetent and could do nothing hiding in the dark.
Gu Zhen glanced at him, and the depressed mood around him almost filled the room.
"What's wrong? I'm really fine. This is what happens when you're pregnant. It will be fine in the next few months."
Gu Jiuyuan said nothing, walked over, knelt on one knee beside her, and reached out to rub her legs.
Gu Zhen lay there comfortably. With Gu Jiuyuan by her side, she felt at ease. The Dragon Shadow Guards sent her news that her brother was doing fine.
As expected, Zhan Linxiao intended to place people around Gu Yun, but they were all discovered by the Dragon Shadow Guards. Gu Yun was also on guard, so they did not succeed.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Just be patient for a few more months, and my brother will be able to return to the capital, and then no one will be able to touch the Gu family.
Gu Zhen felt very calm and lay there, slowly falling asleep.
Gu Jiuyuan waited until she fell asleep before carrying her to the bed, covering her with a quilt, and lightly stroking her face with his hands.
Don't dare to really touch it.
The sleeping master was so obedient and soft, completely defenseless against him, which made Gu Jiuyuan feel satisfied.
He guessed something. His master had been in the palace for so long but had not yet consummated his marriage. That dog emperor was just using his master to pave the way for his sweetheart.
It is not easy for the master to choose such a path at such a young age. He will try his best to help the master get the Zhan family's kingdom.
Gu Jiuyuan leaned down devoutly and stopped above Gu Zhen's lips.
Gu Zhen moaned while she was sleeping soundly, and seemed uneasy. This moan was like a fuse that completely ignited Gu Jiuyuan's love.
He had never kissed his master before.
The Dog Emperor must have been unable to resist the temptation of these red lips just now. Gu Jiuyuan held the edge of the bed with his hands, veins bulging, and he almost crushed the bed.
Just for a moment, he thought, just for a moment.
Before Gu Jiuyuan kissed her, his breathing became disordered. He paused for a long while before seeming to come to his senses. He stood up shamefully, looked at Gu Zhen deeply for a few times, and disappeared into the room in an instant.
......
Because Shen Fangshu was pregnant, the empress dowager, who had originally planned to go outside the palace to continue recuperating, changed her mind. She decided not to leave and wanted to stay to take care of Shen Fangshu.
In Yongle Palace, she held Shen Fangshu's hand, and became more and more satisfied the more she looked at her.
Unlike those ordinary mothers-in-law, the Queen Mother did not want her son to find more women to have children. She just wanted the child born by Shen Fangshu.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lived in harmony, which made the other women sitting in the room feel uncomfortable.
I’ve been in the palace for a year, but I haven’t even held the Emperor’s hand!
As soon as the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she asked them to pay their respects every day. They got annoyed seeing Concubine Jing and the Empress Dowager talking intimately together all day long.
If she doesn't want to sleep with the emperor, then she doesn't have to. She can be free and easy in the palace. But the mother-in-law is not kind and always has to set rules. She is really annoying.
Concubine Xian looked at the nose and the heart, and signaled Concubine De beside her to pay attention to her expression. There was no need for them to offend the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother had said enough at this point. She glanced at the women in the harem and realized that they were all overly ambitious ministers who sent their own daughters to compete for favors, causing trouble for no reason.
This world belongs to her son, not to these ministers!
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and asked the palace maid standing by: "Why hasn't the Imperial Concubine come yet? I don't have enough face to invite her, right?"
She didn't come to pay her respects every day. She wanted to set rules for the imperial concubine, but she couldn't find the right time.
It's been three months now, there's no excuse not to come, right?
Seeing this, Shen Fangshu quickly said, "Maybe it's because the weather is cold, the imperial concubine is pregnant, and Changle Palace is far away, so it may not be convenient for her to come."
"You are so delicate just because you are pregnant? Jingpin, you are also pregnant, but you come to serve me every day, why can't she do the same? Someone, go and call the imperial concubine over!"
The palace maid looked embarrassed. The gods were fighting and the ghosts were suffering. She couldn't afford to offend any of them.
The Empress Dowager is really sick. It's freezing cold and the imperial concubine is pregnant. Why does she always ask people to come over?
Moreover, even they knew that there were frequent reports of victory in the north. General Gu had pacified the barbarians and would soon return to the capital!
At this critical moment, you bully the imperial concubine. You are not smart enough.
But the Queen Mother didn't listen to them. She glared at them with her eyes showing a bit of sharpness: "Are my words no longer effective? Why don't you go and call your majesty..."
Before she finished her words, the curtain moved, and her voice came before her arrival: "Don't bother me, I'm here, but the road outside is slippery, so I'll be delayed for some time. Please, Queen Mother, bear with me for the sake of your grandson in my belly."
The Queen Mother's eyelids jumped, and she said shamelessly that it was not certain whether the baby would be a boy or a girl. Even if it was a boy, could he survive?
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother gave her a dissatisfied look, "I see, the Imperial Concubine probably doesn't have me as the Queen Mother in her heart!"
Gu Zhen came in without any greeting and sat leisurely in the first empty seat at the bottom. She was now five months pregnant and her pregnancy was just beginning to show, and her figure had become a little plumper.
She was graceful and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing. The other concubines stood up and saluted her.
Gu Zhen smiled and asked everyone to stand up, then looked at Shen Fangshu who was sitting in the main seat.
She is almost seven months pregnant and her belly has grown quite a bit. She may be worried and looks a little haggard.
Instead of taking a good rest during pregnancy, she has to show filial piety to the Empress Dowager every day. Why does she have to pretend to be so magnanimous?
Recently, Zhan Linxiao has fulfilled his promise and visits Gu Zhen almost every day, and sometimes even takes the initiative to stay overnight.
The rift between these two people has probably grown bigger without them noticing.
Seeing that Gu Zhen was staring at her, Shen Fangshu's eyes darkened and she stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to the noble concubine."
