After a while, Mu Xiyan's lunch arrived. Xiaoling kept asking Mu Xiyan,""Niangniang, this servant has heard that Prince Rui of First Rank wants to marry Niangniang's Older Sister as a Zheng Fei. Is this true?”
"That's right, tomorrow you will accompany BenGong to the residence of Prince Rui. BenGong wants to see JieJie happy.”Mu Xiyan smiled and ordered.
"Yes, sir! Empress!" Xiaoling could not hide the joy in her heart and replied,"Empress, quickly eat. It will be cold soon.”
"Yes." With that, Mu Xiyan stood up and walked toward the table. However, just as she stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy. Her vision was pitch black, and she fell down as if the world was spinning. She could no longer feel anything…
"Empress! Empress!" Xiaoling, who was following behind Mu Xiyan, didn't react in time and saw Mu Xiyan fall. She quickly shouted,""Someone come quickly! Quickly call the imperial physician! The Empress has fainted!"
Immediately after, many palace maids rushed in from outside the palace and hurriedly went to call the imperial physician and inform the emperor.
When Mu Xiyan woke up again, the first thing she saw was Xiaoling's concerned expression.
"Empress, you're finally awake!" Xiaoling said excitedly.
"I…What happened?" Mu Xiyan got up and asked.
"Niangniang, you fainted. The imperial physician said that the weather is hot and Niangniang's constitution is not good, so she will faint easily.”Xiaoling said and quickly helped Mu Xiyan up.
Was that so? No wonder she had been feeling so uncomfortable recently.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Xiao Luzi's sharp voice rang out. Situ Chengyan strode into Feng Xi Palace, followed by Xia Lan, who was supported by a palace maid and caressing her flat stomach.
"ChenQie pays her respects to the empress niangniang. ChenQie's body is not feeling well and cannot give the empress a big bow.”Xia Lan smiled.
"Don't come out if you're not feeling well. If you accidentally hurt the fetus or knock it, whoever meets you will be unlucky!”Mu Xiyan said rudely. To recommend her to the Emperor was really too flattering.
"Empress, watch your manners!" Situ Chengyan said coldly.
Mu Xiyan rolled her eyes at Situ Chengyan. Why did you have to come to me to show off your love?
"What's the matter?" Mu Xiyan said unhappily.
"Lan 'er's fetus was unstable, and it was also that day when the Empress and Lan' er had a conflict. The Venerable One said that she had offended the gods and had to mix the blood of the most honorable person in the harem with talisman water to drink for a month. I thought about it, and the most honorable person in the harem is nothing more than you, the Empress. As the mother of the country, it's not a problem for the Empress to sacrifice some blood for my heir, right?”Situ Chengyan initially thought that the Master's words could not be trusted, but when he saw Mu Xiyan's attitude, his face turned cold and he decided to follow the Master's wishes.
Mu Xiyan couldn't believe it. This man didn't come here to visit her, but to collect her blood for another woman?
" Hehe..." Mu Xiyan laughed softly, but the coldness in her laughter reached Situ Chengyan's heart.
"Hehehe…Hahaha!" Slowly, Mu Xiyan's low laughter turned into a wild laugh. In the end, she even cried, which made Situ Chengyan a little scared."Using my blood just to make a beauty smile?”
"It's just a little blood. Look at you, Empress, don't lose your sense of propriety!”Situ Chenyan said confidently.
"Hehe…a little blood? Mu Xiyan ignored the tears she had shed from laughing and fixed her unfocused eyes on Situ Chengyan's face. She said word by word,""What qualifications do you have? If the fetus is unstable, I have to take blood. If I miscarry, won't I have to pay with my life? Situ Chenyan! What qualifications do you have?"
Situ Chengyan felt a little regretful when he saw tears fall from Mu Xiyan's beautiful eyes. However, as the emperor, he could not let go of what he had said. He said angrily,"It seems that zhen spoils you too much. How can you call zhen's name directly? Men, take the blood!"
"No! Emperor! The Empress has just woken up and her body is still weak. I beg the Emperor to let the Empress rest for a few days!”Seeing that the Emperor had ordered his men to come over, Xiaoling quickly knelt in front of Mu Xiyan and kowtowed.
Mu Xiyan grabbed Xiaoling and sniffed. She looked at Situ Chengyan and smiled."Emperor, ChenQie is also pregnant. Emperor, are you going to use ChenQie's child to exchange for Noble Zhuang's son or sacrifice ChenQie's son?”Mu Xiyan said lightly. Since Situ Chengyan had touched her that night, she would take a gamble to see if she could get her own safety back.
"Are you pregnant?" Situ Chengyan was shocked. Then, his face was filled with endless anger."Zhen has never touched you! Speak! Whose unfilial son is this?"
Mu Xiyan was shocked, and even Xia Lan was surprised. The Emperor had never touched the Empress. This was really great news!
Mu Xiyan did not think that Situ Chengyan was joking. Moreover, she did not know what had happened that night. Did Situ Chengyan really not touch her?
After thinking for a long time, Mu Xiyan confirmed that she was innocent. Finally, she heaved a sigh of relief.
In that case, there was no reason for him to stay in the palace any longer. With a faint smile hanging on her lips, her weak body fainted again.
"Empress! Empress!" Xiaoling hurriedly supported Mu Xiyan and shouted.
"Summon the Imperial Physician!" Situ Chengyan ordered. His real purpose was to find out whether Mu Xiyan was pregnant or not. This concerned the reputation of an emperor!
"Reporting to the emperor, niangniang is still a virgin and not pregnant.”the imperial physician replied after checking Mu Xiyan's pulse.
Situ Chenyan was relieved when he heard the news from the imperial physician.
"Emperor, don't make things difficult for Empress jiejie. ChenQie doesn't want to use the child in her belly to harm Empress jiejie and lose blood.”Xia Lan stood up at the right time and looked at Situ Chengyan with tears in her eyes. Only then did Situ Chengyan remember that Xia Lan was with him.
"Beloved Concubine is nothing. The Empress is the mother of the country and will naturally sympathize with my children. It is only right to take some blood to pray for the emperor's descendants. Imperial Physician, take the blood!" Situ Chengyan helped Xia Lan sit down and then ordered the imperial physician.
"Yes, sir! How much does the emperor want?" The imperial physician was a little surprised, but he could not offend the heavens and could only obey the emperor's wishes.
Situ Chenyan thought for a moment. The mage did not tell him how much he should take. He looked around and happened to glance at the teacup on the table.
"Just take a teacup." Situ Chengyan said. He did not know how important a cup of blood was to a person! Who knew how long it would take to make up for this!
"Your Majesty! No! Your Majesty!" Xiaoling stood in front of Mu Xiyan's bed and stopped her. Situ Chengyan, who was already very annoyed, became even more irritable after hearing this.
"Drag her out! Beat him to death!" Immediately after, someone dragged Xiaoling, who was crying and begging, away. Xiaoling did not plead for mercy for herself, but for Mu Xiyan. Situ Chengyan shouted at the imperial physician,"Hurry up and take the blood!"
