Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 586 Lan Qingwu's Worry-Free Dream

The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes were deep and deep. He looked at the small pill in his hand with great curiosity and said to himself, "Wei Ruo Ruo, what is your worry-free dream?"

To some extent, Shi Qingluan was right. The Emperor Shenwu was indeed a madman. He had been separated from Lan Qingwu for several years, and he never wanted to go back to the days when he couldn't reach Lan Qingwu.

The Shenwu Emperor hadn't anticipated that Lan Qingwu had fallen into a carefree dream, but he wasn't the only one captivated by it! The Shenwu Emperor hadn't anticipated that he would be the one to ultimately surrender! A single dream had left him utterly defeated, his army utterly routed, and completely defeated!

Late at night, Lan Qingwu woke up vaguely. She was a little dazed. She had not carved that mark again in the past few days. Lan Qingwu could no longer tell whether it was day or night.

Just as she was about to get up, she found herself firmly trapped in the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor. Lan Qingwu moved uneasily, but the Divine Martial Emperor had already opened his eyes. "Ruo Ruo, are you awake? Do you want some food?"

Lan Qingwu carefully and slowly withdrew from his arms, and Emperor Shenwu watched her movements coldly without any expression.

Lan Qingwu shook her head and lay quietly on the edge of the bed. Her face was pale and her usually rosy lips had lost their color.

The Shenwu Emperor frowned deeply. "Ruoruo, what are you thinking? I know you don't want to be here, but this place is actually no different from the past. I will still come to accompany you every day! After these few months are over, we will pretend that nothing happened, okay?"

Lan Qingwu didn't move at all, how could it be the same?

"I want to see the kids."

Emperor Shenwu was silent.

"I want to see Ru Ping and Ru Han, and I also want the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for me."

Emperor Shenwu's expression had turned gloomy. "Except for these, I promise you everything!"

Emperor Shenwu pulled Lan Qingwu into his arms, his eyes fixed on Lan Qingwu's lower abdomen. "If I could, I would have killed this evil creature long ago!"

Lan Qingwu trembled all over and unconsciously arched her body. The Shenwu Emperor stroked her cheek with his big hand, "Ruoruo, you have lost a lot of weight again. Do you really have to make me angry and sad?"

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu seriously. "Look at me and listen to me. If you are fine, I will exile everyone in Fengqi Palace and will never pursue their lives! Nie Wushuang can also continue to stay in the palace to treat you! I will never touch any of them! You are fine. Once I take care of this fetus, there will be no problems between us!"

"Exile from the palace? Deal with them?" Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes. How long could the exiled palace servants survive outside? Would the Emperor Shenwu really let them go?

"I want to leave the palace too! Please let me out too!"

A storm gathered in the eyes of the Emperor Shenwu: "Is it that you won't listen to what I say?"

Lan Qingwu whispered, "Your Majesty, you keep saying we can go back to the way we were before. Can we really go back? Can you not care? If you don't care, why do you keep Ruo Ruo locked up?"

Emperor Shenwu said patiently, "I will not keep you locked up. After these few months, I will have a way to release you. You are weak, it will only be a few months."

He probably forgot that he had initially told Lan Qingwu that it would only take two months.

As Emperor Shenwu spoke, he gently kissed Lan Qingwu on the cheek. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but shrink his body, almost curling himself into a ball.

The Shenwu Emperor was instantly enraged. He pinned Lan Qingwu down, his eyes filled with rage. "You've been hiding from me these past few days, refusing to let me touch you! What do you want?"

Emperor Shenwu stared into Lan Qingwu's eyes and said, "I hope you understand that no matter what time, you are my woman! I will not let you go! Never!"

The Emperor leaned over and kissed Lan Qingwu fiercely on the lips, biting, sucking, and possessing... But gradually, the Emperor felt cold tears on his kisses. He paused for a moment and whispered in Lan Qingwu's ear: "Ruoruo, this fetus is very strong and will not hinder me from favoring you at all!"

Lan Qingwu realized something and struggled slightly: "Brother Heng, don't..."

It turned out that she never thought she was pregnant, so she did not resist Emperor Shenwu holding her in his arms. But at this moment, even she herself could not confirm whether there was a child in her belly.

The Shenwu Emperor pinched Lan Qingwu's slender waist with both hands, his eyes fell on her snow-white belly: "I don't care about this child, Ruoruo, just be good..."

Lan Qingwu was exhausted and passed out after being tormented by the Divine Martial Emperor. The Divine Martial Emperor gently stroked Lan Qingwu's dark, cloud-like hair, knowing full well that they couldn't continue like this.

Lan Qingwu was obsessed with proving she was pregnant. She either asked the imperial physician for abortion pills, contemplated harming herself, or threatened to leave the palace. The Emperor, fearing the prospect of opening his eyes and witnessing Lan Qingwu's death, decided not to delay the matter any longer. Regardless of his concern, anger, and jealousy, the Emperor could not accept losing Lan Qingwu, even if he had to confine her to this dark secret chamber.

The mysterious medicinal fragrance unique to the "Worry-Free Dream" ignited, and the smoke was as white as clouds and as dreamy as a dream, burning quietly in the secret room.

Emperor Shenwu considered Lan Qingwu's 'worry-free dream'. Although they had experienced some difficult times over the years, they had also experienced much love. Perhaps during the more than ten years of noble love and affection between them as emperor and empress, they would have three children. He knew that this dream would not include the six concubines and his other princes and princesses. After all, Lan Qingwu, like him, had a desire for exclusive possession of his lover.

Emperor Shenwu thought a lot. He stood in front of the stone door of the secret room, stood quietly for a moment, and finally reached out and pushed open the door.

The secret room was quiet and beautiful. Lan Qingwu's slender jade fingers fiddled with the peach blossom branches in the white jade vase. Then she sat down in front of the dressing table. She was very surprised to find that there was no makeup on the dressing table, not even a decorative comb.

Lan Qingwu had no choice but to use her slender jade fingers as a comb to carefully comb her black hair.

A smile played on her lips, and her eyes, sparkling with water, shone with a pure, untouched air, lacking a hint of charm. In a flash, Lan Qingwu had quickly fixed her hair. There was nothing on the dressing table, so she reluctantly found a turquoise headband to tie up her loose hair.

The Shenwu Emperor stood behind her, watching silently for a while before calling out, "Wei Ruo!"

Lan Qingwu stood up in surprise when she heard the voice. She saw the Emperor Shenwu smiling sweetly and trotting over: "Yun Heng—Brother Heng, you're here!"

When Emperor Shenwu heard the word "Yun Heng", his eyebrows jumped. Ever since that day when he said out of anger that he was not Yun Heng, Lan Qingwu had never mentioned those two words in front of him.

Emperor Shenwu didn't know what Lan Qingwu was dreaming about, or where they were, so he asked hesitantly, "Ruo Ruo, you..."

Lan Qingwu was already standing five or six steps away from the Shenwu Emperor. Although she was standing still, she continued to talk happily, "Brother Heng, you came to my house to propose marriage the day before yesterday. My mother said that it would be best if we didn't see each other again for a few days. We have to wait until the three letters and six ceremonies are completed and then choose a wedding date. Brother Heng, I'm already of marriageable age. I finally waited for you to come to my house to propose marriage!"

The Shenwu Emperor's mind was struck by a bolt of lightning. His thoughts went blank and he couldn't think straight. He was so shocked that he took a step back unconsciously.

Lan Qingwu looked at him and said, "Brother Heng, when you proposed to my father that day, you told him to first accumulate military merits on the border and wait a few years before returning to the imperial city to take up a post. But I feel that our home is on the border. It's so comfortable here! And the big peach tree is here too. It can't be taken away! Brother Heng, why don't we just live on the border forever!"

Emperor Shenwu replied subconsciously: "Okay!"

Lan Qingwu looked at him with a beaming smile, and they kept a few steps' distance between them, enough to prove that they were not yet married. Emperor Shenwu felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest. He hurriedly said, "Your mother is right... We shouldn't see each other for the next few days. Ruo Ruo, you go back first... I have some things to do!"

The Shenwu Emperor, utterly distraught, fled in despair! This dream! Lan Qingwu's unique 'worry-free dream'—it was Yun Heng keeping his promise to Lan Qingwu! Yun Heng didn't let her wait in vain. He went to the Lan Mansion, met Lan Youchen, and fulfilled his promise. He proposed marriage, and they were finally engaged and married!

The Shenwu Emperor fled in a panic, leaving the stone gate. As it closed, he finally couldn't bear the immense grief that washed over him. This was for Lan Qingwu, not for himself! He clutched his chest and slowly slid down to the ground.

Emperor Shenwu covered his eyes with his free hand, tears streaming down his handsome cheeks. "Ruo Ruo, so in your 'worry-free dream', there's no me! No emperor, no empress! Not even three children! Only Yun Heng, who will never be able to fulfill his promise! Is this your 'worry-free dream'?"

"A 'worry-free dream' destined to remain unsolved in this lifetime! Weak, weak, in the end, I have failed you!"

Emperor Shenwu was heartbroken. At that moment, he didn't dare to look Lan Qingwu's pure and innocent feelings in the face. Her feelings were like newborn peach blossoms, each petal pure, flawless and transparent. In comparison, his love was so mean, strong, unquestionable, and full of possessiveness that the two dared not compare!

Back then, he summoned her into the palace with an imperial decree, letting her enter the palace with such a mood. How did she feel when she saw the women in her palace and her sons and daughters?

Emperor Shenwu—Zhou Xuheng, a man who had served as an emperor for many years, his heart had long been hammered into a hardness as hard as iron. But at this moment, he could not bear Lan Qingwu's feelings. Such a dream made the Emperor Shenwu cover his face and cry. After all, it was he who had let her down! He had never felt so truly and deeply—he had let her down! He, Zhou Xuheng, was not worthy of Lan Qingwu's feelings for him! She wanted none of the status, honor, and grace he could bring her as queen. These things he had proudly given her were never what she truly desired!

An unfulfilled promise, a dream that would never come true! Lan Qingwu's carefree dream turned out to be this! No Zhou Xuheng as emperor, no empress's supreme honor and wealth, not even their three children! Only Yun Heng! Yun Heng proposed marriage to the Lan family with his promise. They followed ancient rites of engagement, went through three letters and six ceremonies, and finally married! After the wedding, Yun Heng had only her, and she was carefree, living like her youth, free on the border and helping the weak!

There are no palace conspiracies or intrigues, only their upcoming wedding day!
