I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 480 Empress Jiuer and Regent Li Mu (9)

Down towards the back.

Jun Jiuling specially called Dong Mei, and under the escort of Chun Tao, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, they returned to the palace together.

On the way, Dong Mei kept guessing the empress's intentions.

In the past half month, the empress's temperament has changed drastically. She has a different expression from time to time, which makes the court officials a little nervous.

"Dong Mei, when we meet that bastard... er, the Regent, yes, Regent, you can propose that I grant the Left Prime Minister a marriage."

Jun Jiuling put on the airs of an empress and said with a sympathetic look on her courtiers,

"The Left Prime Minister has worked hard and made great contributions, but he is still alone. I and the Regent are worried sick."

Granting a marriage, this is the solution that Jun Jiuling came up with.

She had seen the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau who diagnosed her pregnancy before. She was obviously Li Mu's woman.

I think most of the civil and military officials in the court are the same.

Among them, the left prime minister named Zhang Hanrui was so beautiful that she was beyond words.

Even she had to admit that Zhang Hanrui's appearance and figure were not inferior to her Majesty's.

So she was certain that Li Mu's favorite woman must be the woman named Zhang Hanrui.

"Humph, I'll marry your sweetheart to someone else, and I'll see if you wake up or not!"

Jun Jiuling was angry, but a hint of jealousy unconsciously appeared on his face.

Dong Mei, who was standing by, was frightened when she heard Jun Jiuling's muttering.

"I heard it right, I must have heard it right. Your Majesty just wanted to call the prince a dog man."

"Your woman? The Left Prime Minister? The Left Prime Minister is having an affair with the prince? So your majesty is jealous?"

"It's over, it's over, it's over. His Majesty asked me to mention it... But if the prince gets angry, he won't say it to His Majesty... Then I will be in trouble!"

Dong Mei felt numb. How could a female official like her listen to such words?

He looked towards Chun Dutong in the distance for help.

Chun Tao seemed to have heard nothing, and looked ahead with cold eyes, as if an assassin might attack her at any time.

However, the cold sweat on her forehead revealed what she was thinking at the moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Dong Mei glanced at the gate of the empress's bedroom not far away and her lips trembled with fear.

It is well known that the empress is jealous and only has the regent in her heart.

As a result, in the entire palace, there was no other palace maid except Xiao Zhao, who had shared life and death with her.

Now that Your Majesty is pregnant again, there's no telling what crazy things she might do.

I heard that pregnant women are emotionally unstable, but she is not an ordinary woman.

When the empress is angry, the whole country is shaken. This is not just a casual remark.

I heard that when the empress was still the ninth princess, a prostitute named Luo You seduced the regent.

The person is still being kept in a jar, right in the Ninth Princess's mansion.

While he was thinking about this, he had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, Jun Jiuling suddenly turned his head and looked at Dong Mei, his face showing a dignified look without anger, and frowned,

"What are you two doing here? Leave now."

Dong Mei was stunned, and a look of relief suddenly flashed in her eyes. She turned around and ran, not daring to stay for a moment.

I was afraid that the empress would change her mind at the last minute.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." At this time, Li Mu walked out of the courtyard and bowed to pay his respects.

Jun Jiuling hurriedly walked over and pretended to be angry.

"How can a husband bow to his wife?"

Li Mu smiled, signaled to Dong Mei and the other two who had not yet walked away, and whispered,

"Didn't we agree to ensure the dignity of Her Majesty the Empress?"

Jun Jiuling pouted, glanced at Dong Mei and the others, and said unhappily,

"These two are so bold. I told you that no one is allowed to approach here, but they dared to disobey my order."

"Okay, okay, have the court officials given you any trouble today?"

Li Mu pinched Jun Jiuling's fair little hand lovingly and asked.

"Of course, I don't." When Jun Jiuling mentioned this, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks. Then she leaned close to Li Mu's ear and whispered a few words.

Li Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Jun Jiuling's lower abdomen in disbelief, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Li, Li Lang?" Jun Jiuling lowered his head and glanced at Li Mu timidly.

Li Mu came back to his senses, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, he picked up Jun Jiuling and spun him around several times, while he was still shouting,

"I'm going to be a dad, I'm going to be a dad!"

"Li, Li Lang, be careful with the child." Seeing Li Mu's reaction, Jun Jiuling felt relieved, and his eyes were filled with love.

"Look at me...how do you feel? I've hurt you with my rough hands and feet."

Hearing this, Li Mu hurriedly put Jun Jiuling down and asked somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Li Mu's silly look, Jun Jiuling laughed out loud and joked,

"I'm not that fragile..."

"No, from today on, you don't have to go to court anymore. I'm enough in the court. Just focus on your pregnancy and avoid being irritated by those outspoken people."

Li Mu made the decision with a wave of his hand.

Jun Jiuling could hear Li Mu's concern. After thinking for a moment, he said "hmm" softly and leaned his head into Li Mu's arms.

"Li Lang, for the next long period of time, let Xiao Zhao serve you on my behalf, okay?"

In the distance, Xiao Zhao, who was originally happy for the Empress, dropped the broom in her hand and her face flushed when she heard this.

Li Mu heard the noise, turned around and looked at Xiao Zhao, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said,

"No, I want to stay with you and the child every night."

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuling's expression froze and he looked at Li Mu in disbelief.

On weekdays, Li Mu loved to tease Xiao Zhao the most, so she drove away all the servants and maids in the yard, but did not drive Xiao Zhao away.

What's more, although she was jealous, Xiao Zhao and she shared life and death together, and they also shared weal and woe.

She had prepared early on that during her pregnancy, she would let Xiao Zhao feed Li Mu, the hungry wolf.

But Li Mu's reaction really surprised her.

Needless to say, I was deeply moved.

However, when Xiao Zhao, who was far away, heard Li Mu's words, her body trembled violently.

For some reason, tears started to flow involuntarily. I picked up the broom and ran away.

Li Mu seemed to have sensed something. He looked back at the girl's fleeing back and sighed slightly in his heart.

He had an indescribable feeling towards this little girl. Love? Or cherishment? Or maybe both.

So he didn't want to force her to do something she didn't like just because of Jun Jiuling's words.

Li Mu knew very well that with his current status as the most powerful person in the world, he didn't even need Jun Jiuling to ask for a little maid.

But when it comes to Xiao Zhao, he just wants that girl to be happy.

……

The days passed quickly in the dreamland, and Jun Jiuling's belly grew bigger day by day.

However, Li Mu's life was not very good.

It is clear that the only time he came into contact with court officials every day was during the morning court session.

Li Mu discovered that he had developed different feelings towards the two prime ministers on his left and right.

There are also two vice ministers from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, and the petite General Ying.

Even the lady official Dong who accompanied the emperor all day, and the commander Chun of the imperial guards...

"Could it be that I have been holding it in for too long? By the way, why are all the court officials women, and each one is prettier than the other..."

Li Mu sat alone in front of his desk, unable to read even a single glance at the pile of memorials.

Yesterday, Li Mu actually blurted out "wife" to Doctor Ge. He almost went crazy.

He cheated on his wife when she was pregnant, which challenged his moral bottom line.

In particular, he discovered that his feelings for the empress were not as deep as he had imagined.

Maybe he didn't love her as much as he did Xiao Zhao, the only maid in the courtyard.

"Li Mu! What are you thinking about? Ah Jiu saved your life. She, she..."

Li Mu rubbed his hair vigorously. His voice suddenly stopped as he was speaking, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master." At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Zhao walked in holding a tray.

Immediately, his expression changed drastically, he knelt down and said,

"Your Majesty, Xiao Zhao... I, I didn't mean to do that. I don't know why..."

Li Mu slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhao's pretty face. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Xiao Zhao?"
