Chapter 139 Dispute
Shen Cainv, who had just been under house arrest for a few days, was released again.
Shen Cainv was naturally very happy when she learned that she was pregnant. She could have a child with the person she loved. From then on, she would have a permanent connection with that person. Shen Cainv was also confident that her relationship with His Majesty would become better and closer.
Late at night, Emperor Shenwu arrived at Suowu Palace, where Lan Qingwu was reading Gao Lanyan's letter.
Lan Qingwu hurriedly saluted, and Emperor Shenwu held her in his arms, then picked up Lan Qingwu and carried her directly to the bed.
After the lovemaking, Lan Qingwu was still completely conscious. Emperor Shenwu held her in his lap and gently stroked her snow-white back. "Ruoruo, there are several pregnant concubines in the palace. I want to give one of their unborn babies to you."
Lan Qingwu's eyes gradually became clear, and she looked at the Shenwu Emperor in confusion: "Your Majesty, I... am weak..."
Before Lan Qingwu finished her words, Emperor Shenwu already understood what she had left unsaid.
The Shenwu Emperor's bony fingers pinched Lan Qingwu's slender, snow-white chin. "Wei Ruo, I really don't understand what you are thinking. You have to understand one thing. I am the emperor. I treat you as my wife, but my wife can only be the empress! Can you tell me what you are resisting?"
Lan Qingwu gently raised his eyes and looked at the Shenwu Emperor: "No, I'm just worried that I really can't raise a child..."
"Just register it in your name and raise it yourself?"
Lan Qingwu lowered his head and whispered, "If we do this, what's the point of only recording it under my name?"
The Emperor's brows furrowed in a deep frown, the rage in his heart inexpressible and venting impossible. It was like this again! He would never understand Lan Qingwu's true thoughts. He could touch her heart, yet in the next instant, he couldn't touch her heart anymore.
Emperor Shenwu got up, put on his clothes, got off the bed and walked out. Lan Qingwu watched Emperor Shenwu walk out from the bed. When passing by the table, Emperor Shenwu pinched a piece of letter between his fingertips, then released his fingertips, and the letter fell lightly to the ground.
Emperor Shenwu left Suowu Palace and returned to Qianzheng Palace. Lan Qingwu got down from the bed and picked up the letter. The name of the owner on the letter caught her eye. It was Lan Shuren!
Emperor Shenwu did not set foot in Suowu Palace for several days.
Shen Cainu in Lixiu Palace was also looking forward to the emperor's arrival.
In the Qianzheng Hall, Emperor Shenwu took the scroll of the Imperial Secrets and flipped through it carefully.
Li Xiang bowed and came in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Ruhan from Suowu Palace sent this."
Li Xiang presented the thing in his hand. Emperor Shenwu looked at the thin piece of letter and after a few breaths, finally reached out to take it.
Emperor Shenwu unfolded the letter, and on it was Lan Qingwu's handwriting - A few glasses of light wine, would you like to drink?
Emperor Shenwu's fingers gently stroked the writing, and after a long while he said, "Go to Suowu Palace."
When Emperor Shenwu arrived at Suowu Palace, the palace was empty. Emperor Shenwu's eyes turned slightly and he stepped into the bedroom.
In the dormitory, Lan Qingwu was sitting at the dining table, already drinking his second glass of wine.
The Shenwu Emperor was slightly surprised and hurried forward to support the dizzy Lan Qingwu: "Ruoruo, how much did you drink?"
Lan Qingwu's face was as red as a peach blossom and his eyes were as clear as spring water. He had already passed out drunk.
Emperor Shenwu held her in his arms and sat down. "Didn't you invite me to drink? Why did you drink first and get so drunk?"
"Your Majesty, Brother Heng..." Lan Qingwu stretched out his arms and hugged Emperor Shenwu's neck, looking at him with intoxicated eyes.
"Brother Heng, are you still angry? I've never seen you so angry with me before!"
Emperor Shenwu was a little helpless: "You still know that I am angry? Okay, let's stop talking. I will take you to rest. Don't drink anymore."
This time, Lan Qingwu gently shook his head: "Brother Heng, I don't want to become like Concubine Jiang. Brother Heng, do you understand?"
"Like Concubine Jiang?"
"yes!"
Lan Qingwu nodded again. "Like her, there are new concubines to take care of, and they need to ask the imperial physician to consult when they are sick. When their children are born, they need to wait all day and all night to congratulate them... Brother Heng, perhaps in this lifetime, Ruo Ruo will never have her own children. Brother Heng, do you want Ruo Ruo to have to watch other people's children being born one by one?"
"Ruo Ruo, don't live like this. It's really too painful, too painful, too painful!"
Emperor Shenwu was shocked. He had never thought that Lan Qingwu would feel this way. "Weak!"
Lan Qingwu's eyes shone with tears. "Brother Heng, you feel uncomfortable just looking at a letter someone else wrote to Ruo Ruo. Do you know how Ruo Ruo feels when you, Brother Heng, hold another woman in your arms and have children with her?"
"Brother Heng, ah, no! Your Majesty, this is natural to you, but what should I do? Can't I stay away from these things? I don't want to end up in a state where even I don't recognize myself."
Lan Qingwu's voice became lower and lower, and soon, he fell into the arms of Emperor Shenwu and closed his eyes.
The Emperor of Divine Martial Arts gently embraced Lan Qingwu, his eyes filled with various emotions. After a moment, the Emperor of Divine Martial Arts carried Lan Qingwu to the bedside and gently placed her on it.
After this drunken episode, Emperor Shenwu never mentioned the adoption again, and he and Lan Qingwu returned to their original state.
However, Shen Cainu did not wait for Emperor Shenwu in Lixiu Palace, so she began to go out frequently.
Once, Shen Cainv ran into Concubine Yi head-on, but Lan Qingwu turned around and walked towards another road, avoiding the encounter between the two.
"She's avoiding me." Shen Cainu suddenly understood. "I just don't know if Concubine Yi is more avoiding me or more jealous."
She had heard that Concubine Yi had always been in poor health, and even though she was favored by His Majesty, she had never been pregnant.
Afterwards, Shen Cainu ran into Emperor Shenwu again. Emperor Shenwu was resting with his eyes closed on the dragon chariot. When he heard Shen Cainu's voice of greeting, he didn't even open his eyes. Shen Cainu raised her head slightly, staring at the back of Emperor Shenwu as he left, without moving for a long time.
Lan Qingwu would go to the prayer platform every day at the hour of Xu. Sometimes, when she read Buddhist scriptures and gained some insights, she would go to Huangjue Temple to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with Master Buyu.
As time passed, Shen Cainv fell into deeper and deeper jealousy and resentment.
The emperor Shen Cainu had been longing for did not treat her differently just because she was pregnant with a dragon descendant. And the person the emperor treated with such respect was still Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi monopolized that man's tenderness, thoughtfulness and affection. Shen Cainu was of the lowest rank and had no qualifications to ask the emperor to visit her.
