"Your Majesty, welcome."
Concubine Wan and a group of palace maids and eunuchs bowed politely, with a somewhat cold expression.
Jin Moli took two quick steps and helped her up: "Didn't I tell you before? You don't need to perform formalities in private."
"Rules cannot be abolished!"
Concubine Wan stood up indifferently and shook off his hand.
Jin Moli frowned slightly, waved away the others, took her hand again, walked to the couch and sat down.
He gently held her in his arms: "Wan'er, why are you unhappy?"
Concubine Wan pushed him away and said, "I am so happy that the emperor can come. How can I not be happy?"
She said she was happy, but her face didn't show any happiness at all, instead she looked a little cold.
Jin Moli sighed, took her hand and explained in a low voice: "Wan'er, I know why you are angry. I promise you that everything is not as you imagined. You will know it later."
The anger that Concubine Wan had been holding in for days was slightly relieved, but she was still very unhappy.
"Is there anything that even the emperor, the ruler of a country, dare not say? Does the emperor have to look at other people's faces when speaking and doing things?"
It has been a year and a half, and the emperor has long since secured the throne, so there is no such problem at all.
"That's right. Imperial Concubine Ying is pregnant with a dragon fetus. It's only right for Your Majesty to take care of her more. Who made me suffer from a weak stomach?"
Gu Wanting felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about how Su Qiao, that woman, got what she wanted so easily.
Jin Moli knew that she had always been worried about having children, but in fact they had never had children, which made him even more anxious.
The court officials had long been dissatisfied because there had been no children or heirs for a long time.
He has been under a lot of pressure recently.
"Wan'er, there are some things that I can't tell you now, but one day you will understand. Don't be angry, okay?"
"How dare I be angry with the emperor? How dare I make the emperor angry? Wouldn't that be a sin for me?"
The emperor kept procrastinating, and Gu Wanting gradually felt disappointed.
This is the man who said he could share anything with her
Is this the man who said he would never cheat on her
"Wan'er! How did you become so..."
Jin Moli had been feeling very upset these days because of Su Qiao's matter and the baby in her belly. She had originally wanted to seek some comfort from the person she loved, but...
Thinking of what Su Qiao had just said, and how he and Gu Wanting had gotten along over the years, he became a little impatient.
He had to admit that Su Qiao's words still had an impact on him.
Concubine Wan saw the impatience in his expression and felt a panic in her heart.
The emperor had never been so impatient when facing himself.
Is it possible that after five years, she is finally going to lose his love
No!
Can't!
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Wan'er... Wan'er lost her composure."
"It's all because Wan'er cares too much about the emperor and loves the emperor too much, so she is like this... so unreasonable, I'm sorry..."
Concubine Wan lowered her head slightly, with a look as if she was about to cry, which made Jin Moli feel heartbroken.
Wan'er had never had such intense emotions before. She had always been calm. Even when she was playing the piano or painting, she was always very calm, just like a silent landscape painting.
Only occasionally when he came would she show a little smile.
Jin Moli held her in his arms and patted her shoulders gently: "It's okay, I'm not angry, don't cry, your crying hurts my heart."
Concubine Wan breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I know that all this is not your fault, but my own bad pregnancy."
