Chapter 798: Chapter 798 Some Things Have Changed_1

"..." The color drained from the empress’s face.

Zhang Tao, observing this, also turned pale.

They definitely hadn’t forgotten that when Nan Feng arrived, she couldn’t ride a horse. However, when the empress saw how skilled Nan Feng was at horse riding, she forgot about it. Trouble!

Just as they were panicking, they heard voices not far away, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"..."

The empress turned and saw the Emperor and Nan Feng riding a horse together.

The two of them were sharing a horse, with Nan Feng clinging to the Emperor’s waist. This scene appeared incredibly sweet and intimate.

Although this was a sight the empress had hoped to see, when it became a reality, a bitter taste filled her heart.

Nevertheless, she could only force a smile.

The Emperor also spotted the empress and rode directly towards her. Nan Feng dismounted and the Emperor followed suit.

"Empress, are you aware of your wrongdoings?" asked the Emperor coldly.

Inwardly, he was considering a reward for her.

The Empress felt anxious. Glancing at the stern Emperor and the displeased Nan Feng, she couldn’t understand. Hadn’t she done it all for their own good?

Seeing the look of grievance on the empress’s face, the Emperor felt a twinge of pity and explained, "In the woods, Nan Feng almost lost her life. She can’t ride!"

Horrified and guilt-ridden, the empress felt uneasy. She was the empress, yet she almost caused someone’s death.

"Your Majesty, I have committed a grave mistake, please punish me," the empress confessed.

The Emperor turned to Zhang Tao standing next to the empress, "Were you her accomplice?"

Startled, Zhang Tao didn’t respond, essentially admitting her guilt.

"Summon the..." The Emperor was about to call for guards to punish these two concubines, but Zhang Tao quickly intervened, "Your Majesty, you can’t punish my sister, the empress. And, you can’t... can’t punish me, either. The empress... she’s carrying the Dragon Seed!"

The Emperor was shocked, "What?"

The succession of the dynasty was pivotal and always on the ministers’ minds during the morning meetings. And now, they had a vital piece of news.

Zhang Tao continued, "At lunch, both the empress and I asked for fish. However, we both threw up. Fortunately, the Imperial Physician happened to see us. He took our pulse and said that both of us are pregnant and it’s nearly two months along already."

Nan Feng saw the joy that the Emperor couldn’t conceal; she understood that the Emperor wouldn’t punish the empress.

How could her life be more valuable than that of the imperial heir?

With this thought, Nan Feng quietly took her leave.

By the time the Emperor came back to his senses from the news, Nan Feng was already out of sight, leaving behind only a solitary figure in the distance.

...

Once Nan Feng was back in her tent, she asked Xiaoqing to get her a tub of water for a bath, and bring back some food as well.

When Xiaoqing returned, Nan Feng was lying down but not asleep. Although the bed was simple, it was soft and comfortable.

"Sister Nan Feng, you won’t believe what I brought back. I got fruits, meat, and dim sum." Xiaoqing sounded excited, "The Imperial Kitchen has food available for anything we want today."

Nan Feng sat up, looked at the food Xiaoqing had brought back, and replied with a smile, "Because it’s a joyous occasion?"

"Sister Nan Feng, did you know the empress and Zhang Yingbin are pregnant?" asked Xiaoqing.

"Of course, I know," thought Nan Feng. If they weren’t pregnant, the empress would have faced punishment.

But now that they’re carrying the imperial heirs, pregnant women are treasured. The Emperor wouldn’t dare to punish them. Hence, her near-death experience due to the horse ride had to be swallowed hard, like a broken tooth, with blood she would have to swallow down.
