l things should be straight. See, isn't it much better now' "Ginger Shuangyue held the little dumpling's hand and rewrote it.It's definitely much better than it was just a moment ago.Fu Jiujiu glanced...Fu Jiujiu suddenly opened her eyes, squinting in the dim candlelight to make out Tang Xian's breathtakingly beautiful face sleeping beside her.

She took a few deep breaths, muttering to herself in surprise. Just now, in her dream, Tang Xian's kiss was so clear; she could even feel the warmth from his fingertips.

She extended her hand, glanced at her nails, and then couldn't help but smile. Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy, her emotions were a bit sensitive.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the man's big hand grasped his. Half-opened eyes, sleepily blurred, "Not sleeping at night, looking at your nails here How, despise my trimming not good enough"

Tang Xian's voice was languid and magnetic.

Even though it was night, the mountain air still held a chill. Fu Jiu Jiu buried her head in his chest, her hot breath fanning against his skin, and she herself grew warm as well. "Not enough," she murmured.

Tang Xian pulled the blanket over her exposed back and tightened her arms, “Then practice more, you have a lifetime. I don’t believe you still can’t cut it well!”

Fu Chou Chou pursed her lips, as long as she said it wasn't good enough, he was willing to strive towards what she found satisfactory. That was all that mattered.

"Sleep now." Tang Xian gently patted her back. "We have a long journey tomorrow, and you'll be tired if you don't rest."

Fujujiao wants to say, it's not that tiring. Their carriages are spacious, she has enough room to lie down, and it was remodeled by Babahe, so it's very comfortable. If you have to say someone is tired, it's the horses.

But, occasionally, it's also good to show some weakness, otherwise how would men know the hardships of pregnancy

Although, she doesn't seem to have much hardship either.

Tang Xian touched her slightly raised belly, then remembered what Fu Jiujiao had said about how often touching could lead to the baby's umbilical cord getting wrapped around its neck, so she quickly retracted her hand.

The next day, as they continued to walk towards the paddock, Fu Chi-Chi discovered that Qin Su Wen and Xiao Lin's relationship had eased considerably during their breaks.

That's also what she wants to see.

The Sushen (素問) is a discerning person, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen not to follow back then, and now he wouldn't agree to his proposal of marriage.

Presumably, without some tests for men, at that time when she followed along, perhaps now she is just one of Xiao Lin's many concubines. Or maybe because of her foreign identity, she has been ostracized. Of course, it's also possible that she is uniquely favored.

But no matter which kind, it's not as good as what's coming now. Although she also suffered some hardships, the effort always pays off. Now that she walks with Xiao Lin again, she has Li Chao, this pillar of support, behind her.

If she were wronged, there would be ten thousand soldiers under Li Chao's command to avenge her.

She had Nian Xia call Qin Suwen over, saying it was to taste some fruit. Actually, she just wanted to gossip.

Qin Suwen pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed under Fu Jiujiu's teasing gaze. "Stop laughing at me, okay My break-up with him wasn't due to emotional problems. If it were, I wouldn't agree even if they offered me the position of Princess Consort. Besides, you should know that I have no interest in high positions."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Unfortunately, none of the men you've met have been ordinary."

"Isn't that right"

She also tried to change Tang Xiu, if he was willing to give up the fight for the throne, they could live a peaceful life.

But she discovered that Tang Xiu's obsession ran deep. He appeared indifferent on the surface, but his desire for the throne was beyond imagination.

As for Xiao Lin, he is already the King of Dongqi.

He brought Niannian.

Fu Jiu Jiu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Nian Nian was so adorable. Xiao Lin probably just recognized his daughter and couldn't bear to be separated from her. Su Wen also naturally said, "Bring her along then, just be as careful as possible. It's nothing to you guys, it's just…"

"I understand, you care so much for me. What else is there for me to not understand If I were truly that foolish, I wouldn't be worth your effort. " Qin Suwen patted her hand, "I'm worried about what Coral said, I feel uneasy."

Fu Jiujiu chuckled softly, "Coral's talk of a journey far away is about your return to Dongqi. This is still the land of my Li Chao, so there's no need to worry."

"Really Hearing you say that makes me feel much better." Qin Suwen was truly anxious last night, worried that Xiao Lin would have secretly taken his daughter out and caused her trouble.

"My Empress, Miss Rong wishes to see you."

Dàn yuè stood not far away, reaching out her hand to stop Róng mèngyù. Róng mèngyù's eyes held a strange hatred. Fù jiūjiū saw this and smiled gently, "Let her come over."

Rong Mengyu let out a cold snort and rolled her eyes at Dan Yue. Dan Yue was fuming; she served the Empress, and everyone else wanted to curry favor with her, but this one dared to give her the cold shoulder. It was infuriating!

But she wouldn't take advantage of her master's kindness to bully others, so she endured it.

"Miss Rong, you've come out without even your wits. You don't even pay respects when you see this palace" Fu Jiujiao questioned coldly.

Then Rong Mengyu reluctantly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Empress."

Then she remembered, but Fu Jiujiu hadn't woken up. She could only stay like that, half squatting.

When everyone had looked over, Rong Mengyu was a little embarrassed. Fu Jiujiu only slowly called her up.

"Unsummoned, what business does Miss Rong have with this Palace"

"I..."

Fu Jiujiu gave a cold glance. She rarely let people call her "slave." Those who had followed her for a long time, she would allow them to say "I," but that didn't mean anyone could break the rules.

"My lady... My lady, I know that Your Majesty is skilled in medicine. I want to ask Your Majesty, is there a way in this world to bring the dead back to life"

She said this while looking at Qin Suwen, her eyes full of resentment.

Fu Jiujiu smiled. "Miss Rong, what are you asking this for"

"My lady has seen a person who should have died, but is now alive and well before her eyes. My lady is perplexed and seeks the Empress's wisdom to understand how this could be. Did she rise from the dead, or was she never truly gone"

"Miss Rong, as for how this person died and came back to life, this palace is also unaware. Seeing that you are so diligent in your studies, why not ask the King of Hell yourself Perhaps it was his oversight. What do you think"

Feng Mengyu swallowed nervously, "Your Majesty, could it be that the person fated to die hasn't died Shouldn't she be the one who dies"

"As you said, she didn't die in the underworld, which means it wasn't accepting her. If we force her to die, it would go against heaven's will," Fu Jiujiu said.

Rong Mengyu looked at Fu Jiujiu's expression, feeling even more certain that her guess was right. Fu Jiujiu must have used some tricks.

"Your Majesty, it's no longer just me who knows about this. More and more people are becoming aware. What should we do Should we go to the underworld to ask"

Fu Jiujiu laughed and handed the roasted sweet potato in her hand to Qin Suwen, "But why did you come to find me Is it because you're the only smart one"need for that at all."That Chi-Chi is truly likable and has nimble fingers. My mother said someone in Luoyang bought a pot of butterfly orchids for one hundred and eight taels of silver."She looked do...
