I insist

Chapter 463: Regaining Favor

Upon hearing the chief eunuch's words, Du Chun'an shut his mouth, knowing that he had already achieved what he wanted.

Next, Du Chun'an did not cause a scene, but allowed the imperial physician to examine his injuries.

"Boss, boss, there's something interesting."

The pharmacy apprentice ran into the pharmacy and spoke to Song Miqiu, who was reading a book.

Song Miqiu put down her book, looked up at him, and asked, "What's so interesting that you're so happy? Tell me about it."

"The General of the Cavalry has returned, and he appears to be seriously injured. He is currently at the Yintian Prefecture, and I've heard that he has brought some very important news."

The young apprentice spoke to Song Miqiu with great interest.

Song Miqiu shook her head: "Just this little thing? I thought it was something big. You're so happy about something so small?"

"Of course! And I heard that people from the palace came too. I wonder what it's about..."

The young apprentice recounted the story vividly, and Song Miqiu listened with great interest, eager to know the truth of the matter.

Meanwhile, Liuli was still anxious about how to regain the emperor's favor. After all, she was currently in the cold palace and could not see the emperor at all, let alone receive any favor.

Liuli thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly came up with a plan. Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly shouted.

The guards outside suddenly rushed in. She was a pregnant concubine carrying a prince, so naturally, nothing could go wrong.

"Your Highness, what has happened?"

"Where is the Emperor? I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor! Where is my child? Where is my child? My child is missing! I need to find my child!"

As Liuli spoke, she rushed outside, but fortunately, the guards grabbed her and prevented her from running away.

"What's going on? She hasn't given birth yet, but she looks like she has. Is there something wrong with her head?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his own head.

"She was previously imprisoned in the palace, supposedly because she had gone mad. She finally managed to get pregnant and be released, only to be sent to the cold palace again. Who knows if something really went wrong?"

"Regardless, we should tell the Emperor about this as soon as possible. If anything happens to her and the baby, we'll be in big trouble."

"Okay, okay, you go quickly. I'll stay here and watch over her to make sure she doesn't wander off. Be quick and come back soon."

After saying that, one of the people guarding Liuli went out. They didn't see that while they were talking, the corners of Liuli's mouth turned up slightly. Her plan had succeeded.

The emperor was dealing with state affairs when a young eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, someone from the Cold Palace has arrived. They say that Consort Jieyu is not well."

"Something's not right. How are they taking care of him? Someone, go find the imperial physician. Take him to the Cold Palace now."

The Emperor hadn't forgotten that Liuli was pregnant. Liuli could have any problems, but the dragon prince in her belly couldn't.

After saying this, the emperor put aside the unresolved state affairs and went to the Cold Palace as quickly as possible.

He had just arrived at the Cold Palace when Liuli rushed towards him, hugging him tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "Your Majesty, you've finally come!"

"I'm terrified! Our child has been stolen! Please go find him! He's your child!"

Seeing Liuli like this, the Emperor frowned slightly. He looked up at the servants and asked, "What happened? I asked you to serve me, how did it turn out like this?"

"Your Majesty, everything was fine before, but it suddenly turned out like this today. For the past few days, Consort Jieyu has been constantly thinking of Your Majesty, and because of her pregnancy..."

"I didn't eat much, and this servant doesn't know what happened. Please, Your Majesty, calm your anger."

The Emperor glanced down at Liuli, who was holding him, and suddenly remembered what she had said last time. He looked at the eunuch and asked, "Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"

Soon the imperial physician arrived, and he knelt on the ground to pay his respects to the emperor.

"Alright, quickly check on Consort Jieyu. She was perfectly fine before, how did she suddenly become like this?" the Emperor said, frowning.

After the imperial physician finished bowing, he tried to take Liuli's hand to check her pulse, but Liuli dodged him.

"No, don't touch me! You're trying to take my child away! Your Majesty, please save me! Please save my child! I don't want to be separated from my child!"

Liuli gripped the Emperor's sleeve tightly, her face streaked with tears, her eyes filled with fear.

The emperor had no choice but to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, no one will take your child away. Let him take your pulse first, and besides, the child in your belly is still there."

Liuli kept her eyes fixed on the Emperor, her eyes filled with trust in him. After listening to the Emperor's words, she touched her belly and whispered, "The baby is still in my belly."

"Yes, now you can rest assured. Let the imperial physician examine your pulse," the Emperor sighed and said.

Liuli obediently allowed the imperial physician to take her pulse, but everything was perfectly normal and she had no illness.

Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, the emperor's face turned extremely grim: "Then what's going on? You saw her performance just now. Don't tell me that there's no problem with that."

"She was probably frightened, because when she was pregnant, only Consort Jieyu was alone, and now she's alone again. She's not familiar with this place."

She felt it was dangerous here, and judging from Consort Jieyu's behavior just now, she only trusted the Emperor and didn't trust anyone else. Perhaps the Emperor needed to keep a closer eye on her.

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he lowered his head. His words sounded like he was trying to curry favor.

After hearing the imperial physician's words, the emperor turned his gaze to Liuli. At this moment, Liuli kept her eyes fixed on the emperor, never leaving him for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you've finally come to see me. I've missed you so much." Liuli sobbed softly.

Upon hearing Liuli's words, the Emperor took her to his palace and then dismissed everyone else.

The Emperor looked at Liuli and asked, "How is the baby in your belly? Is it alright?"

"I think it's quite good, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Liuli said with a slight smile.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you do that on purpose just now? It seems you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to deceive me."

Liuli trembled and knelt on the ground. She suddenly remembered what the Seventh Prince had said earlier.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but I really have no other choice. I haven't seen Your Majesty for so long, and I know I shouldn't disturb you."

But I am truly terrified. Every night I encounter people trying to snatch my child, and I am powerless to stop them. Your Majesty, please save me! I am truly frightened.

As she spoke, Liuli began to cry bitterly.

Looking at the heartbroken Liuli, the Emperor recalled the imperial physician's words and sighed, "Alright, I have neglected you these past few days."

"There are too many national affairs to attend to, I have no time for you."
