Zhou Leping slept soundly. He slept soundly, felt refreshed when he woke up, and his entire body was transparent. Every step generated wind, and his body was light and graceful.

When she woke up in the morning, Qu Tan said that she and Zhu Guanliang had gotten drunk last night. She was lying on the reclining chair with Zhu Guanliang lying on the table.

The obsession in Zhou Leping's heart had finally been put down. Although she was also drunk, she woke up early, for a weak body like Zhu Guanliang's to wake up early, it was still not good.

Today, when she had to go to court, Qu Tan was helping her change her clothes. She was in a good mood as she hummed a song, but suddenly, a voice that would ruin the scenery came from outside.

"General, I just heard that Empress is pregnant."

Zhou Leping was holding the jade hairpin to his head. After hearing what she said, he paused for a bit, and the hairpin almost fell off his hand.

She calmed herself down and expressionlessly pushed open the door. "When did this happen?"

Chang Feng said, "I just heard that the imperial physician passed through her meridians, and it's already been more than a month."

The empress had been married to the emperor for four years, and in those four years, this was the first time she had been conceived.

The Queen's pregnancy was of great significance. If she was a princess, why would she fight over her position? If she was a prince, she would be the eldest son of Nuo, the Crown Prince.

The women of the harem were probably panicking with reddened eyes.

She sat in the carriage and entered the palace. Along the way, what she heard was all about the Queen being happy, and the little Palace Maid s loved to talk about it.

"Recently, Worthy Lady Zhou has become the favorite of the palace. The emperor has already visited the Worthy Lady Zhou Palace three times this month. I had thought that the first one to have an heir would be the Worthy Lady Zhou."

The other said, "Didn't the Empress say that he was not well? "Now that we're suddenly pregnant, could it be .."

"Shh!" Worthy Lady Zhou, although she is Chief General's younger sister, she just entered the palace, how can she compare to Empress who has been deeply rooted in the palace, the first person wouldn't be able to stand up to her? "

"Yeah, I heard that Worthy Lady Zhou's health isn't that good, and it was cold two days ago. The way I see it, the Emperor favored her, and that's only because of Chief General. Who in this palace doesn't know, that the Emperor and the Chief General once .."

Zhou Leping stood behind them and listened, seeing that they were getting more and more excited, he coughed twice and interrupted them, "What happened before?"

The last little Palace Maid did not react and just as he was about to continue, he was pulled by the sleeves by someone beside him. When he turned his head to look at Zhou Leping, he was so shocked that he fell on his butt, "General .. "General!"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Leping pulled her up, "I'm also very curious, what happened in the past? Tell me quickly! "

The little Palace Maid hunched her shoulders as tears welled up in her eyes, "Chief General, please spare me, I .." This servant slaps her own mouth. This servant will not dare to speak carelessly of things anymore. This general will forgive me this time! "

"You guys have been in the palace for quite a while already, so you should know the rules better than me. In the palace, the person that you cannot tolerate the most is the person who has the longest mouth." Zhou Leping dusted off the dirt on her body, and laughed gently and benevolently, "I heard those words today, it ended here, if there is a fifth person who knows about it .."

She suddenly changed the subject and asked amiably, "What's your name?"

The three Palace Maid s looked at each other, trembled and reported their names one by one.

"Tritzie."

"Lotus Fragrance."

"Lu Wu."

"General, I just have a good memory. If this matter were to spread in the palace, my temper would get worse and I would kill people."

She spoke so gently that it probably wouldn't have any effect of deterrence, so she hardened her voice and said, "General, twisting my neck is as easy as breaking my wrist. I'll keep it as safe for you when the time comes."

As he said this, he also touched the back of one of their necks.

The little Palace Maid s trembled as they nodded their heads like they were pounding garlic. They picked up their broom and ran away without looking back.

Zhao Deng came over from behind, and seeing the backs of the three Palace Maid s who were fleeing, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? What are they running for? "

Zhou Leping threw up his hands, "I don't know, I guess you're afraid of me." He then asked Zhao Deng, "Your highness usually doesn't come to the imperial court often, why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Zhao Deng waved his hand in disappointment, "Oh, Empress is pregnant, everyone knows about it. It's not right for me to not come to see, there's even a meal at noon."

"It's a good thing that the Empress is pregnant."

"Good news?" Zhao Deng pointed to Lin Jing, "Look, your tails are sticking up to the sky."

Some people were happy while some were worried. Everyone was looking at Zhao Shiqian's expression now, but he had no expression on his face. From the beginning to the end, he did not mention anything about the Queen's pregnancy.

In the end, it was only Lin Jing who asked, so the emperor casually said, "It's still unknown whether the princess is the prince or not. It's still too early to say anything now."

His words immediately expressed his attitude.

If it was a prince, then it would mean a lot. But if it was a princess .. At least it was just a way of thinking.

However, no matter what, it was a joyous occasion. The Emperor's first child was still worth celebrating.

It was noon and Zhao Deng wanted to stay at the palace to eat lunch. On his way out of the palace, he was stopped by the Palace Maid beside him, who said that he wanted to invite her to go speak.

Zhou Leping rushed over, only to see Zhou Lean lying on the bed, his face pale and listless.

Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly stepped forward, "What happened? Sick? "

Zhou Lean called for someone to move a chair over and ask her to sit. Before he even opened his mouth to speak, tears had already rolled down his face.

Zhou Leping felt his heart ache, he was anxious for her to stay silent, so he could only ask Palace Maid, "What happened to your noble family member? With such a bad complexion, have you ever invited the imperial physician to take a look? "

Palace Maid replied, "In reply to the general, the reason why the noble person's complexion isn't good is because .."

Why are all of them stuttering? Zhou Leping panicked, "Why did you say that!"

"Your highness's health has never been good, and recently you caught a cold, so when I went to pay my respects to Empress yesterday and missed an hour, Lin Chang Zai took the opportunity to say that your highness did not respect Empress, and Empress punished your highness to kneel for four hours. After your highness returned, your illness became even more serious."

Zhou Leping's heart ached, as he asked her why she did not explain, and asked, "Then what about your majesty? "Why didn't you tell the emperor to uphold justice?"

She knew that with Le An's personality, he would definitely suffer a loss if he entered the palace. She had a weak personality, and now that the empress was pregnant, her future days at the palace would be even worse.

When he mentioned the emperor, Zhou Lean shook his head and sighed, "This matter was my fault first. I was in the wrong to find the emperor.
