peak: "Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician that the child in Your Majesty's belly is about to move. I wonder if Your Majesty has felt it"Ning Shu was slightly taken aback.A little hesita...He's always been rather frail, a walking pharmacy, and this illness has hit him hard. He couldn't even make it to court today, lying weakly in bed.

When the Empress Dowager learned the ins and outs of the situation, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and rebuked: "This Prince Regent is so bold, he actually dared to frighten the Emperor like this."

Her face was extremely grim, her eyes filled with a hint of hatred.

At first, the late emperor favored this illegitimate child greatly. If he were his own son, the throne would have probably been passed down to him. This is also why the Empress Dowager has always felt uncomfortable with Helian Yu's existence.

"Back in the capital already acting like this, so lawless and disrespectful to the Emperor. Could he really have gone mad"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she threw the cup in her hand.

Ningshu coughed and said, "Mother, the Regent King is also without heart...."

He spoke well of Helin Yu because the Empress Dowager considered him a thorn in her side and would certainly make this an issue. A few years ago, the Empress Dowager used underhanded tactics to drive Helin Yu away.

Whether Helian Yu harbored a slight or deep resentment in his heart, he was afraid that he would hold a grudge against the Empress Dowager.

If Ning Shu wanted to complete the task, it would be even harder.

The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Your Majesty is still young and naturally doesn't understand these grievances. This old servant sees that he clearly holds a grudge against this old servant...." There was fear in her eyes that she herself hadn't noticed. She said hatefully, "This old servant won't let him get his way."

Ning Shu couldn't help but speak out: "Mother Empress, the Regent King is both brave and intelligent. Why don't we take him as our own"

The Empress Dowager said indifferently, “Ning’er, I have told you, this imperial court belongs to the Ning family. As long as I am alive, I will not allow it to become someone else's.”

The young man's lips moved, and he coughed a few times: "It is because this prince's body is too weak, it has nothing to do with the regent king. Please, mother, don't hold it against him."

The Empress Dowager seemed somewhat incredulous: "Ning'er, you actually want to speak up for He Lian Yu"

Ning Shu also felt that this sounded a bit inappropriate. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke out: "The Regent King has just returned to Beijing, and I don't know what's going on in his mind. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will suffer."

Then the Empress's face improved slightly. She patted his head and said, "This palace knows its limits."

Ning Shu feared that the Empress Dowager would make another move and persuaded her a few more times.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened again. Seeing the emperor's cheeks flushed from coughing, she relented: "This time, I won't hold him accountable. But if there is a next time, I will not be so lenient."

After a while, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace.

No sooner had she left than the eunuch arrived with a message that the Regent King wished to see her.

Ning Shu couldn't help but be taken aback, as if she hadn't expected He Lianyu to come to the palace to see her.

He thought about the rabbit that had been killed by the other party yesterday, pursed his lips slightly, and was a little afraid.

He can’t be both welcomed and rejected.

So he had the servant bring the man in.

Helen Yu was supposed to attend the court today, but he found out that the Emperor was sick. Thinking about the frail emperor's body, Helen couldn't help but scoff, thinking the young emperor was too weak.

Thinking again of the young man's pale complexion yesterday, I felt a pang in my heart and entered the palace.

After waiting for a few moments outside the hall, Helian Yu stepped inside.

I see the young emperor lying on the bed: "My body is unwell, I can't stand and speak with the regent king."

Helian Yu raised an eyebrow and walked over.

Even Ning Shu hadn't expected him to be so bold. The palace servants were also a little taken aback, but they were somewhat afraid as well.

"My Prince..."

He Lianyu said nonchalantly, "I am just filled with guilt and have come to apologize to Your Majesty."

"Can't this work either"

He kept talking, but showed no sign of slowing down.

His dark eyes looked over.

Ning Shu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the other person.

The boy looked sickly, even weaker than usual. His pale neck seemed as if it would snap with the slightest touch, incredibly fragile.

Helian Yu looked at him coughing for a few moments, and his cheeks were as if they had been painted with rouge, adding a touch of charm.

It looks very good.

His eyes gazed at her without any shyness.

Ning Shu felt a bit embarrassed under the other's gaze and said, "I don't know what the Regent King means by an apology."

Helian Yu's gaze remained fixed on his face, his meaning unclear as he said: "Your Majesty, I accidentally startled Your Majesty yesterday, so I came to the palace to plead guilty."

Ning Shu couldn't help but be taken aback.

I think there's more to this than meets the eye.

The man seemed to be mocking his weakness.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a bit stifled, her voice carrying a tinge of displeasure: "Of course, I can't compare to the Regent King. That rabbit didn't provoke you, so you just want to kill it"

"That rabbit is going to die sooner or later anyway. Does Your Majesty intend to keep raising such a thing"

Ning Shu didn't speak.

Helian Yu's meaning Of course he knew, he was the emperor, and he actually wanted to raise rabbits, such a soft and weak creature.

If we were to admit it, wouldn't that be just as they wished

Ning Shu's heart was filled with a stifled breath: " ...I didn't want to keep it, I just thought the rabbit looked pitiful."

Helen Yu smiled faintly, without exposing the young man's little thoughts.

He found this little emperor increasingly interesting. The fact that such a woman could raise a son like this was truly remarkable.

Ning Shu saw the man staring at her, then she raised her hand.

I couldn't help but be taken aback.

Helian Yu touched his face, his dark eyes fixed on him and said, "Your Majesty looks much better than before."

A man's hands were rough from years of gripping a sword and other objects.

< With calluses. >

Ning Shu was taken aback by his bold actions and couldn't help but step back, angrily saying, "Your Majesty... please show me some respect..."

Helian Yu withdrew his hand without speaking.

Ning Shu felt a little nervous and shifted her gaze to the servants not far away.

That eunuch had been by the little emperor's side for several years, so naturally he was perceptive. He quickly chimed in, "Your Majesty, it's time for your medicine."

Helian Yu didn't know if he had misunderstood the order to leave.

"Your Majesty, what medicine are you taking"

The servant carefully replied, "It's a wind-cold medicine. The Emperor caught a cold last night after sweating profusely."

Helian Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the young emperor to be weaker than he imagined.

He said, “Bring the medicine here.”

Ning Shu saw that the man had no intention of leaving, and he didn't want to give an order. He was a little dazed, not knowing what the other party meant. Could it be as the Empress Dowager said, because he was her son, Helan Yu even looked down on him

In a short while, the servant brought the medicine over.

...was taken over by Helian Yu. ...

"I shall take care of this."

That servant glanced at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu could only say, "Go down." his expression unreadable, but with a hint of longing. Her face paled, and she quickly reached out to push him away.And in the midst of that tug-of-war.Zhao Fang had already pulled the young man's c...
