Chapter 63

 "You don't have to say anymore, I have decided." Wu Min Jun said, "Ya'er told me that you had kicked her into the Lotus pond and even dug a trap for her to fall into it, right? With you being like this, how can such a poisonous woman have the qualification to be the mother of the country? I do not want to embarrass you, you look at it yourself and quickly shave your head and go to a temple. Otherwise, if you want me to handle it, I am afraid the whole country of Dong country will be shamed."

"The Emperor is really considerate."

I looked at him thinking that I have really not anticipated such an event. Of those matters he mentioned, which of them did I commit? This was too overwhelming, with him saying it like this, why did I feel so taken for granted?

'Ya'er'...this is a very familiar form of address, he used it on Shengan a long time ago. Also, when he was teasing me, he used to call me Jiao'er as well.

**(Adding 'er to a name is a form of endearment attachment to the first name, it is used on people close to you. Similar to the use of "Xiao")**

What did he call me now?

No, since he has entered the palace, he has not called me by any name and has just been referring to me as 'You'.

I was not sad, but I couldn't be like the heroines in novels who put on smiles and pretend to be okay.

I just looked at him, wanting to see something more there.

On the other side, He Chen couldn't stand it and said: "Emperor, you shouldn't be like this, the Empress is pregnant with the dragon seed! It is not suitable for her to cut her hair and enter a temple!"

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows with a surprised look. Liu Ya, who was next to him, had not expected this and looked at me with a disturbed expression.

I said: "Emperor, you don't have to care about this, but how did you come to like Young master Liu - Miss Liu? You said before that you will never like her."

Wu Min Jun said: "You see, there's a beautiful cinnabar mole between her eyebrows."

If he didn't say it I wouldn't have noticed it. In between Liu Ya's eyebrows, there was indeed a little cinnabar mole...I never noticed it before.

However, this was because of the beautiful mole?

I said: "There's one also on the TaiFu's face. Why don't you let the TaiFu become Empress? His is bigger too."

Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "You think it's funny? I can tell you with certainty that there is nothing to laugh at. As for the pregnancy..."

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment and then said: "...I don't know if it is mine."

I widened my eyes, I could not believe what he was saying: "Not yours? Whose is it then? TaiFu?"

He Chen: "..." -_-)'

He Chen cried his innocence: "Emperor, this minister and the Empress are clear and pure!!!"

Wu Min Jun: "...You shut up, what is there to make noise about?!"

Then he turned to me: "I just said it casually. I have been away for more than a month. I don't know if you have been seeing anyone or not during that time, anyway, I don't care now."

I didn't want to explain or bother to plead my innocence at all: "That, many thanks to the Emperor for your magnanimity, even if the child in my belly is not yours, you can accept it."

Wu Min Jun was not annoyed, instead he smiled: "Accept? I only said that I do not care, I did not say I do not mind it?"

Before I could get another word out, Wu Min Jun clapped his hands and Bai Taiyi, who had been on standby outside came in, greeted and asked: "What orders does the Emperor have?"

**(Taiyi = Imperial doctor)**

Wu Min Jun pointed at me: "Prescribe her abortion medicine and then she is to enter the cold palace."

I looked at Wu Min Jun. He reached out and touched my face and said: "If you want to cast blame, blame yourself for being too ordinary. Not likable at all... Why did I want to marry you before? I really want to go back and ask myself."

After that, he laughed out loud, turned away, and left without hesitation.

Liu Ya smugly smiled and said: "Empress...ah no, Princess Changyi, I am so sorry. I remembered how you kicked me and even more so the freezing cold snow puddle. You know, I was going to marry some fat man, I cried for a long time and was very sad almost to the point that I wanted to die...Later I was saved, I did not expect the Emperor would come back and secretly summon me and tell me he wants me to be his Empress...I will make sure you pay for what you did, no, you have to pay two-fold..."

After that, she smiled victoriously and left following Wu Min Jun's footsteps. He Chen and Bai Taiyi were dumbfounded on the side, seeing me standing in place, they came up to me: "Empress, you..."

I said: "Do you two have hearing problems? I am no longer the Empress..."

He Chen honestly replied: "No... the edict abolishing your position has not yet been made."

I: "..." -_-)'

Will you die if you pretend?

I sighed and said: "I will go to the cold palace, Bai Taiyi can you not prescribe the medicine for me?"

Bai Taiyi: "Empress, this ... the Emperor's order is hard to..."

I waved: " Go get medicine to save the trouble. I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Bai Taiyi showed a conflicted expression and then took his leave and went to prepare the abortion medicine. He Chen followed after him feeling helpless.

I sat in a chair, unsure of how I should react, for example, should I rise up and resist, or cry out, or act crazy screaming that I want to see Wu Min Jun?

But it seems that no matter which one, it was not something I am good at...

...but for Wu Min Jun, putting on these kinds of acts have always been something he excels at.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps in front of me. I thought it was Bai Taiyi. However, when I looked up, it was actually Wu Min Jun who had come back. He stood in front of me and looked down at me in a condescending manner.

My heart leaped.

However, he then said: "I still have to answer you - I have not been injured in the war, let alone hurt my brain, I have no small wounds."

I said, "Oh."

I quickly looked down and picked up a piece of jade and then threw it at Wu Min Jun, he could not dodge quickly and could only move sideways, the jade sliced a shallow mark on his face.

"Then let Chenqie give you a wound then."

Wu Min Jun looked like he wanted to kill me or at least beat me up, but he resisted and left with his bodyguard.

Bai Taiyi appeared right as they were leaving and handed me a bowl of pitch-black medicine soup. This time he didn't hesitate nor did he express any pity either because he saw everything and knew there was no chance for a reversal.

I took the bowl of medicine and gently sniffed it, it had a nice fragrance. The medicine used to nurse the fetus was extremely bitter -  the good medicine is bitter, but the poison is delicious. The world is wonderfully ironic.

No longer hesitating, I tossed down the medicine, there was a sting of pain in my belly and then I felt dizzy and gradually lost consciousness.

***

When I woke up, I found myself in a fairly familiar place.

The reason I am familiar with it was because of Wu Hao, who had been locked here in the cold palace.

At that time when Wu Hao was locked up here, I felt he was pitiful and offered to let him out but he still refused, his appearance was weak but also a little bit funny.

However, I did not expect that one day, I will have to stay here and become the new owner.

Although the bed was a little moist and cold, it was also soft, I was lying on the bed, I felt my stomach and didn't feel anything. When I was pregnant, my stomach didn't get bigger and now it hasn't changed either. It seems from the start to finish, nothing changed.

There are very few people here, only two guards and two palace ladies. The two guards skills were not weak, probably Wu Min Jun was afraid that I will use my martial arts skills to escape, so he sent two masters. As for the two palace ladies, there was nothing special. Their behaviors were, as usual, still serving me cautiously, the younger one had a little cinnabar mole near her mouth.

When I saw her, I was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

She looked surprised: "Replying to the empress...the TaiFu allowed me to come, he said that since I have always been serving you so should be more familiar with it."

I said: "You have not always been serving me... forget it, it doesn't matter."

The young palace maid asked: "Your majesty, are you very sad?"

I said: "I am still alright."

The young palace maid: "Oh... Your majesty, don't be too upset."

I said: "You are the one who said that, I said I am not sad."

The palace maid closed her mouth, I smiled looking at her and then stood up and gently pushed open the window.

It was already night time, a full moon was hanging in the sky, the stars were bright. The moonlight did not have so many thoughts and was fair, and even took pity on this pitiful cold palace and shined its brilliance here.

The young palace maid approached me and carefully asked: "What is your majesty thinking?"

After a while, I replied: "Thinking of the moon and its brilliance."
