Chapter 545
The palace servant said so earnestly, as if she wanted to wake Mu Mingtang up, but the Empress herself added a sentence in her heart.
It wonât happen.
The Eldest Prince would not be born from either her nor Wanyan Duoâs belly. She was only a substitute created by the Jiang family, a tool to consolidate their favour, while Wanyan Duo was a foreign woman presented during the peace talks in the 4th year of Suihe.
None of them would have the chance to get pregnant. In fact, they could no longer get pregnant.
The servant tried to persuade the Empress for a long time to the point where her mouth was dry. Seeing that Mu Mingtang was still unhurried, she was disappointed and said, âYour Royal Highness, you look like you donât care about anything at this point, so what do you want?â
After saying that, the servant realised that she had made a wrong statement. After bidding her farewell while bowing, she lifted the curtains and left.
Time seemed to continue like a dream after that. From then on, all the heroes in the opera showings she watched bore the same face. However, she didnât know his name, who he was and where he was now.
She only knew that the people in Xiangyang City called him the Marquis of Wuâan.
After Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanji parted unhappily again, it was obvious that he was even colder to her. When the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects, many of them looked elated upon knowing of her recent treatment.
Mu Mingtang saw it, but she pretended not to know. So what? She was the Empress. If anything, she was happy to remain silent when Xie Xuanji didnât come to her.
Mu Mingtang only remembered that she had a nap and the fact that she lit a perilla incense before going to bed. Unexpectedly, when she woke up, everything had changed.
Her hands and feet had shrunk a lot and the furnishings in front of her were no longer the magnificent but deserted Funing Palace. Instead, she found herself in the residence of the Mu family in Xiangyang.
