He especially instructed me 356 00:28:54,690 --> 00:28:59,300 that it can only be stopped once the health of Her Highness has completely recovered. 357 00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:03,030 But now, Her Highness is pregnant. 358 00:29:03,030 --> 00:29:04,960 It means that you've stopped the medication too soon. 359 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,570 YIngluo, I... 360 00:29:06,570 --> 00:29:08,740 Wei Yingluo. 361 00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:19,650 Must everything here in Changchun Palace 362 00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:22,190 be reported to you? 363 00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:23,820 All of this has something to do with you. 364 00:29:23,820 --> 00:29:27,860 To put it more accurately, without me, 365 00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:32,830 this Changchun Palace wouldn't have this good news. 366 00:29:36,810 --> 00:29:39,100 You all knew. 367 00:29:42,140 --> 00:29:45,180 I was the only one ignorant about it. 368 00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:47,760 Sorry! I didn't mean to! 369 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,780 Yingluo! Yingluo! 370 00:30:13,410 --> 00:30:15,240 The shoes were made so perfectly. 371 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,990 They were pretty and comfortable. I'm so satisfied. 372 00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:26,030 The weather is so good, but you're here sulking. Why? 373 00:30:26,030 --> 00:30:28,560 Don't tell me. I'm going to guess it. 374 00:30:30,060 --> 00:30:35,520 It must be you're worrying about matters concerning Changchun Palace. Am I right? 375 00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:39,610 Her Highness the Empress is pregnant. 376 00:30:39,610 --> 00:30:41,140 That's a huge joyous news. 377 00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:43,980 But Ye Tianshi said 378 00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:49,210 that Her Highness is weak. If she gets pregnant again, it will surely endanger her life. 379 00:30:49,210 --> 00:30:53,220 Her Highness clearly knows it, but she still made this kind of choice. 380 00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:57,090 I really don't understand. Is one's health more important or having descendants? 381 00:30:57,090 --> 00:30:59,660 Remember these words of mine. 382 00:31:00,590 --> 00:31:05,200 In this place, only the descendants are the most important, 383 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,840 no matter if she's as noble as an Empress or as lowly as a Second Class Attendant. 384 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Think about it. Her Highness the Empress is now sick. 385 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,630 Noble Consort Xian holds the main power. Noble Consort Chun monopolizes the Emperor's favor. 386 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:22,850 If Her Highness the Empress continues to be depressed, her Empress position will be in danger. 387 00:31:22,850 --> 00:31:25,960 Her Highness' decision is correct. 388 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,980 Why must you still think about it? 389 00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:33,280 I don't care about some power or Imperial favor. I just want Her Highness to be safe. 390 00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:40,610 In this world, only you think that way. 391 00:31:40,610 --> 00:31:43,460 Okay already. The wood has been made into a boat. 392 00:31:43,460 --> 00:31:45,960 Since Her Highness the Empress already made such a decision, 393 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,810 you should just focus on helping your mistress 394 00:31:48,810 --> 00:31:53,230 to give birth to a legitimate son. That's the most important thing now. 395 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,600 Erqing, His Majesty will be transferring Fuheng back to the capital soon. 396 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,770 Once he's back from Shanxi, I'll tell him to fetch you back. 397 00:32:03,770 --> 00:32:08,150 Your Highness, just let him be busy with his work. I can't bear to leave you. 398 00:32:08,150 --> 00:32:11,610 I'm going to stay here in the palace to accompany you, until you successfully give birth. 399 00:32:11,610 --> 00:32:17,710 How can a young married couple be always apart? You keep saying silly words. 400 00:32:19,310 --> 00:32:23,660 When he went to the faraway Shanxi, Mother was so worried. 401 00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:28,670 She initially asked that I go with him, but he refused. 402 00:32:28,670 --> 00:32:34,930 In a blink of an eye, Mother asked that maidservant Qinglian to go there and take care of him. 403 00:32:34,930 --> 00:32:39,220 By name, it was to take care of him. But in reality, she wants him to be his concubine. 404 00:32:39,220 --> 00:32:43,770 The two of them now must be having quite a romantic time together and he would never think of me. 405 00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:49,090 Nonsense. I know Fuheng best. 406 00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:50,830 He's not that kind of person. 407 00:32:50,830 --> 00:32:52,780 Yes. 408 00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:57,830 He's affectionate to everyone, except me. 409 00:33:00,590 --> 00:33:05,600 Enough already, Her Highness. Let's stop talking about him. Let's talk about something happy. 410 00:33:17,570 --> 00:33:21,890 So beautiful!
