Most likely, the air was suddenly quiet.

After Queen Xun cried out “No, no,” everyone’s eyes shot at her, especially the Phoenix Sky Emperor. The way she looked at Queen Xun was obviously not friendly.

“Why did the Empress say that?” For the concubine to be pregnant with a royal descendant, is it such a joyous occasion that even the empress is not allowed to be restored?

Queen Xun clenched her fingers in her wide sleeves and she was infuriated, but she still tried hard not to show it on her face. She just said, “Your Highness, Concubine An can indeed reward her for having a dragon’s heir, but Your Highness, Khai is just pregnant. If you return to her position as the Enchantress, how will you reward her when the dragon is born?”

Above the Enchantress was the Empress. There could be many Enchantress but the Empress could only be one. Unless the Emperor of Phoenix could leave the Empress for Concubine An, even if Concubine An had a few more children, she could only be the Enchantress.

The Emperor twisted his eyebrows. Although Queen Xun interrupted him, she had to say that Queen Xun was telling the truth.

Queen Xun’s son was still his prince. Not to mention, he couldn’t be sure if Concubine An was pregnant with a man or a woman. Even if it was really a man, a small baby could not compare to the current prince.

“Since the Empress says that, then…” The Emperor lowered his eyes to look at Concubine An, who had a pretty face in his arms. He paused for a moment and said, “Young Master, please return to your position as the concubine. When you give birth to the next day, regardless of gender, you will be the only concubine of Young Master!”

This guarantee was undoubtedly the blessing of the world.

Nangong Ning’s heart sank. The incident last time, Concubine An, no, now that she was Consort An, she gently exposed it. Now, she was just flipping through it.

However, she still felt strange as her gaze fell on the hem of Consort An’s skirt.

“Mrs. An, the blood on your dress?” Nangong Ning didn’t finish his sentence but looked up at her.

She said timidly, “The blood on my dress, of course, is…” Halfway through her words, she looked up at Nangong Ning. Her eyes hardened and she quickly recovered. “Why did Miss Nangong suddenly mention this?”

Nangong Ning said calmly, “I just feel strange. Imperial Doctor Song, don’t you feel it?”

When Imperial Doctor Song heard this, he immediately looked up and looked over.

Seeing Nangong Ning smile at him, he couldn’t help but nod.

At this moment, not only was Consort An unhappy, but Queen Xun and Concubine Mei were also confused. The Emperor of Phoenix Sky asked directly, “Why is the blood on the concubine’s dress strange?”

Nangong Ning didn’t say anything but glanced at Imperial Doctor Song. Imperial Doctor Song had been holding back for a long time and said, “Look at the bloodstains on the lady’s dress. It seems that there are a lot of blood. According to the amount of blood, I’m afraid..”

At this time, Queen Xun understood and immediately answered, “Yes, Consort An is bleeding like this. Is there anything wrong with the baby?”

The Emperor’s expression darkened and he glanced at Queen Xun. Queen Xun knew that she was too blunt, but she couldn’t help but say that.

Imperial Doctor Song explained, “In response to Mother An, the signs of her birth are actually very weak. The baby is very strong.”

Queen Xun nodded and said, “Imperial Doctor Song is right to say so, but this is strange.”

At this moment, Concubine An’s expression was rather ugly. She looked at Queen Xun and asked directly, “Is the Empress cursing the concubine’s child?”

“What do you mean by that?” Queen Xun’s eyes darkened as she looked at the Emperor. “Your Highness, Consort An’s words are harsh. When I heard that something has happened to her, I immediately reported that the Emperor and the Emperor came to see her. The Emperor knew how anxious she was.”

It was true that the Phoenix Sky Emperor came with Queen Xun because Queen Xun went to find him. She said that something had happened to Consort An and asked him to take a look.

When Concubine An saw that the Phoenix Sky Emperor’s expression had loosened, she became angry. The reason why Queen Xun was able to bring the Emperor with her was not because she was worried about her, but because she wanted to see her make a joke.

However, no matter how bright she analyzed Queen Xun’s mind, she could only think in her heart and not say it out loud.

At this moment, the Emperor also comforted him. “Consort, the Empress is really worried about you. On the way, the Empress is still uneasy.”

Concubine An felt suffocated. In the end, she only nodded gently and kindly, “Yes, it was Chen Concubine who was anxious for a moment. She was worried about this child. He had just showed signs of having a small baby in his belly, but she was afraid.”

“Young Master understands. Young Master is here, you don’t have to worry. Young Master will protect you and your child,” the Emperor said sincerely.

Queen Xun’s expression darkened again. On the other hand, Concubine Mei stood there with a gentle smile, as if she was happy for Consort An and the Phoenix Sky Emperor.

“Alright, let me know what happened today?” “Alright, even if you are pregnant, why would something happen?” The Emperor’s expression turned cold as he scanned the hall coldly.

The imperial might was so heavy that all the palace ladies knelt down and their shoulders trembled.

When Concubine An saw this, her eyes moved and she was waiting for this time.

“Your Highness, you can’t blame them either. Today…” Consort An said as her eyes fell on Concubine Mei, who was smiling gently.

“Qingyi?” The Emperor was startled.

Queen Xun furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Mei. “Didn’t Qingjun be given to you, Kalan, to take care of?” Why did she come to Lihua Palace?

The expression on Concubine Mei’s face did not change. She said in an unhurried manner, “Empress, Princess Qingle left Pixiang Palace today and said that she wanted to go back to Changle Palace to get something. She saw that she didn’t return for a long time, and even specially sent Bing Er to see the situation, but she didn’t want Ka to come to Lihua Palace herself.”

She was telling the truth, so naturally, no one would question her.

Queen Xun’s eyes turned to Mrs. An of lovingly pathetic and asked, “Princess Qingle went back to Lihua Palace to get something?”

“This concubine doesn’t know. I was sitting in the hall at the time when I was suddenly happy. The Emperor did not let the concubine see Gu Qingyi, so he had not seen her for so many days. When he saw her, he was excited. He went over and hugged her, but he did not expect that the concubine would suddenly be… ”

Needless to say, everyone in the room also understood. It was Concubine An who was hugging Princess Qingle who suddenly bled.

The Phoenix Sky Emperor did not know how to react for a moment. He thought that he did not see Princess Qingle when he came in and asked.

An Consort glanced at a palace lady not too far away and said, “An Jing, bring the princess over.”

An Jing answered and explained to the Phoenix Sky Emperor, “I’m afraid to scare the princess, so I asked someone to bring her back to the side hall.”

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction. A princess should not be able to see such a thing.

After a while, An Crystal walked in with Princess Qingle.

As soon as Princess Qingle came in, she saw that the hall was full of people. Her clear big eyes shrunk and her small face turned pale.

Nangong Ning saw it and couldn’t help but twist his brows.

Princess Qingle was obviously frightened.

Concubine Mei also realized that her gentle smile suddenly became a little uneasy.

Seeing his daughter’s expression, the Emperor was a little unhappy and called out.

Princess Qingle withdrew her gaze from Concubine Mei and slowly walked over to the Phoenix Emperor and bowed respectfully.

“Your son greets Emperor Father.”

“Get up,” the Emperor was still very fond of Qingyi’s daughter. Seeing her sensible and uneasy appearance, his heart ached.

Princess Qingle stood up, her eyes darted to one side and quickly withdrew.

When Concubine An saw this, the corners of her lips stiffened for a moment. She couldn’t help but hate Concubine Mei in her heart. Her own daughter had only been given to Concubine Mei for such a short period of time, but she had been seduced by Khai!

“Qingyi, tell Imperial Father, did you bump into your mother today?” The Emperor tried his best to ask her in a very euphemistic tone.

Princess Qingle glanced at Consort An and shook her head.

“Emperor Father, my son is here to get this.”

There was a bracelet in her hand. The bracelet was a red line, and there were many colorful beads on it. All of those beads were of the best quality, but because the contestants didn’t know how to match up, the bracelet looked very good… fancy.

“What is this?” The Emperor looked at his daughter in confusion.

“Emperor Father, this is a bracelet made by my son himself. Is it beautiful?” Looking at the bracelet, the fear in Princess Qingle’s eyes faded a little. Her bright big eyes were full of anticipation.

Of course, the Emperor wouldn’t think there was anything good about this but he was also a father. He nodded and said, “Very beautiful. You are happy to make it yourself?”

Princess Qingle nodded, turned her head and quickly glanced over at Nangong Ning. She said in a crisp voice, “Sis Nangong is going to marry Uncle Huang soon. Qingqing wants to give Auntie this as a gift.”

Before the Emperor could react, Concubine An could not stand it anymore. Her daughter, who was close to Concubine Mei now, was not close to her. She actually came to her Lihua Palace for the sake of Nangong Ning!

Nangong Ning was touched when he heard this. He didn’t expect this little girl to find a gift for her.

Princess Qingle turned around and handed the bracelet in her hand forward. She said with a hopeful expression, “Sister, give it to you. Do you like it?”

“Qingyue!” Annie couldn’t control her emotions and let out a shout.

Princess Qingle’s shoulder trembled. Nangong Ning stepped forward and held Princess Qingle’s little hand, picked up the bracelet and smiled, “So beautiful. Can I wear it now?”

Princess Qingle slowly nodded, took a bracelet, clumsily and earnestly fastened Nangong Ning’s wrist.

With the fancy bracelet and exquisite poison bracelet, Nangong Ning looked at his wrist and felt that it was eye-catching.

“It looks so good. Thank you, Princess, I like it very much!”
