Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

Chapter 754: Chapter 748, 749: The Misunderstanding of Emperor Yong’an (Part 2)

So, just breaking free, the body instantly fell toward the ground.

"Be careful." Chen Mo grabbed Empress Zhao’s small hand. At this moment, Empress Zhao was already at a 25-degree angle from the ground and was about to touch it. So when pulling her up, Chen Mo exerted some force.

Thus, with the force, Empress Zhao crashed into Chen Mo again, sticking closer than before. The consecutive panic also made Empress Zhao instinctively hug Chen Mo.

On the other side, having seen Chen Mo, Emperor Yong’an immediately went to find Empress Zhao. Upon learning that the Empress had gone to Shoukang Palace to pay respects, Emperor Yong’an instantly thought that Chen Mo might have an affair with the Empress Dowager. So, Chen Mo might head to Shoukang Palace next to find the Empress Dowager. Fearing the Empress might meet Chen Mo, Emperor Yong’an hurriedly headed to Shoukang Palace.

The way from the Empress’s bedroom to Shoukang Palace and the route Chen Mo took from Han Yuan Hall to Shoukang Palace were not the same.

When Emperor Yong’an arrived, he was on the other side of the corridor and happened to see his empress hugging Chen Mo.

The angle at the corridor’s corner made it hard to see Emperor Yong’an from there.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yong’an, as a normal man, felt his anger rapidly rising, wanting to rush and slap Chen Mo.

Although he thought so in his heart, his feet seemed rooted to the ground, unable to move, his hand clenching into a fist and then relaxing again.

Gradually, a trace of resentment against Empress Zhao arose in his heart.

This bitch, last time I asked her if she wouldn’t leave me.

She clearly agreed well.

But today, just as King Wei returned, she threw herself at King Wei. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

That blushing, shy demeanor didn’t look forced at all.

Seeing the two had let go, and with Chen Mo having signs of turning around, Emperor Yong’an hurriedly hid.

"Did I feel it wrong..."

Chen Mo turned around but saw nothing. His expression paused, thinking he might be sensitive due to the Empress Dowager’s pregnancy.

"Empress..." Chen Mo initially wanted to fabricate an excuse, explain his purpose for coming to Shoukang Palace, but Empress Zhao had no mind to stay any longer and left quickly before Chen Mo finished speaking.

With this, Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief. As for the scene just now, he didn’t think too much about it and headed toward Shoukang Palace.

After leaving the area of Shoukang Palace, Empress Zhao stopped, panting heavily, face flushed with fear in her heart.

The reason for leaving in a hurry just now was because she had heard too much bad about Chen Mo, and with Your Majesty advising her to keep away from Chen Mo, so when she accidentally hugged Chen Mo, she was scared he might act out and violate her.

After calming down for a while, she told two palace maids, "I hope you keep what happened just now to yourselves."

Although Empress Zhao had a clear conscience, she feared this matter would reach Your Majesty’s ears and cause misunderstanding.

"Don’t worry, Empress, this maid saw nothing."

...

Shoukang Palace.

In the sleeping quarters.

Liang Ji was delighted to learn Chen Mo had come. Although she had no feelings for Chen Mo anymore, she felt somewhat different since having him crystallized inside her. She initially wanted the palace maid to invite him in quickly.

But when she was about to speak, maybe something went wrong with her nerves, or perhaps the girl in the dating phase loves to act on impulse, adding a bit of romance atmosphere, she said, "I won’t see him, just say I’m ill."

The Liang Family’s palace maid was stunned: "Empress Dowager, didn’t you say you wanted to give King Wei a surprise before, why not see him?"

As a maid, she naturally had to heed her master’s instructions. Seeing Liang Ji unyielding, the palace maid could only go to deliver the message.

Soon she left, said, "Empress Dowager, King Wei said he brought a remedy that could cure your illness."

"Let him leave the medicine, the person can go..."

"Go where?"

Liang Ji’s words were still on her lips when a clear voice rang out in the sleeping quarters.

"Greetings to King Wei." The palace maids in the sleeping quarters hurriedly saluted King Wei who entered.

"All of you may leave now." Chen Mo dismissed them.

Except for those few Liang Family palace maids who gave Liang Ji a look and received her indication to leave first, all the other palace maids, upon hearing Chen Mo’s words, exited immediately.

The sudden intrusion of Chen Mo left Liang Ji unprepared, hurriedly hiding the embroidery behind her, looking fixedly at the young man across with a mix of shame and anger, saying, "How dare you, King Wei, as a minister, dare to barge in without Empress Dowager’s order."

"I can be bolder." Chen Mo walked quickly over.

"You... what do you intend to do."

"Stop, someone, come, wu wu..."

After Chen Mo approached, he directly pinned Liang Ji on a seat, and then gently leaned in, kissing Liang Ji’s red lips, blocking her speech.

Liang Ji kept tapping Chen Mo’s shoulder with her jade hands; seeing him indifferent, she resigned herself and bit him.

Chen Mo, in pain, quickly stopped kissing. Liang Ji took the opportunity to push him away, holding her belly in anger: "What are you doing? How if you press the child..."

At this point, she realized she misspoke, kicked at Chen Mo, and cursed, "Bastard."

Chen Mo endured the kick, eyes fixed on the changing expression of the beauty, stepped up, wrapped his strong arm around her shapely waist, helped her sit up, gently stroking her belly, as if sensing a small life brewing inside. Then he sat next to her and said, "I thought you planned to never tell me."

"I didn’t say this child is yours." Liang Ji glared at Chen Mo, sensing the faint bloody taste he left in her mouth, her tone softened, "You... are you alright?"

"Just a scratch, don’t worry." Chen Mo said, "When did you find out you’re pregnant?"

"Not long after you left, I noticed my period didn’t come, then I kept dry retching. Later, the family physician said I should have conceived by early April." Liang Ji admitted that the child was Chen Mo’s, for she didn’t want him to misunderstand.

Chen Mo calculated the time, it wasn’t wrong.

Seeing Chen Mo like this, Liang Ji spitefully hit him: "You don’t believe me?"

"Of course not." Chen Mo gently stroked Liang Ji’s cheek, "Just a bit surprised."

Indeed quite surprising, Xia Zhining and the others have not been pregnant for so long.

He and Liang Ji were together only a few times.

Indeed, such things depend on luck of conception.

"It truly is surprising." Liang Ji lowered her voice; after all, when she was the empress for so many years, she never got pregnant. She then coldly said, "Surprise? So, do you think this child itself is a surprise? You don’t want him?"

A pregnant woman’s emotions are particularly sensitive.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "When did I say I don’t want him, you always overthink. My Chen Family has sparse descendants; I’m thrilled you can bear me a child."

Seeing this, Liang Ji pressed her cherry lips, turning anger into joy, softly said, "Even if you don’t want him, I’ll still give birth to him, for he is my flesh and blood."

Chen Mo slapped her on the rear, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, he’s my seed too, how could I not want him."

Saying this, Chen Mo said, "Just now Empress came, did you notice?"

Liang Ji has started to show, but her belly isn’t large yet.

Liang Ji shook her head, changed her self-designation, "I claimed illness, did not see her. But this excuse won’t last long, once the belly grows further..."

Liang Ji rubbed her belly, although the rest of her words went unsaid, her face showed worry.

"It’s easy to resolve. You haven’t returned home for a long time, you can use missing your mother as a reason to visit the family, stay a few months, give birth, then return to the capital." Chen Mo said.

Liang Ji’s eyes lit up.
