Shen Nianshu sat at the door of Leng Palace at night. The moonlight shone on her lonely figure, casting a long shadow.

She looked up at the bright full moon, with many thoughts in her mind. The surroundings of Leng Palace were quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and distant sounds breaking the silence of the night.

Shen Nianshu closed her eyes slightly, feeling the tranquility of this moment.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through her thoughts. Shen Nianshu tightened her tight clothes, stood up, and prepared to return to the simple room.

She knew that no matter what the future held, she had to live strong and wait for the opportunity that could change her destiny.

Shen Nianshu pushed open the creaking door of Leng Palace. The room was dark, with only a ray of moonlight filtering through the gap in the window and shining on the dust in the room.

She walked gently to the bed and sat down, feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

"I don't know what happened to Pearl." She murmured to herself.

Shen Nianshu closed her eyes, as if she could hear Pearl's clear laughter echoing in her ears.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart. Although she was in a difficult situation, she knew that she could not give up or let Pearl down.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Nianshu stood up alertly, her heartbeat speeding up involuntarily.

She looked around and saw that there was no place to hide in the simple house. She bit her lower lip gently, trying to calm her inner tension, and slowly walked towards the dilapidated wooden door.

The voice outside the door sounded again, this time clearer, and seemed to be mixed with a bit of anxiety. Shen Nianshu took a deep breath, gently held the door latch, and slowly opened the door.

The moonlight shines on the door, reflecting a blurry figure. Shen Nianshu's heart was in her throat. She stared at the figure closely, fearing that she would miss any detail.

"Who are you?" A familiar and slightly trembling voice came, making Shen Nianshu's heart tremble.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to see the man's face clearly, but she only saw a blurry shadow trembling in the moonlight.

She quickly opened the door. Under the moonlight, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.

The man was wearing white clothes, his long hair was blowing in the wind, and his face looked soft and resolute in the moonlight. His eyes were shining with determination, and he was staring at Shen Nianshu closely.

"It's me, open the door." Bai Nanyi's voice was low and full of power, as if it could penetrate the silence of the night.

Shen Nianshu looked at Bai Nanyi in surprise, the tension and defensiveness in her heart dissipated in an instant. She hurriedly got out of the way and allowed Bai Nanyi to enter the house.

Bai Nanyi crossed the threshold and walked into the dim room. His figure looked particularly tall in the weak moonlight. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Nianshu. His voice was gentle and low, "This is what Pearl asked me to give to you."

Shen Nianshu took the letter and stroked the envelope with her fingers, as if she could feel the warmth of the pearls. Her eyes were slightly red, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

Bai Nanyi looked at Shen Nianshu, a soft light flashed in his eyes. He said softly, "It's time for me to leave soon. If anything happens, I will send someone to contact you."

Bai Nanyi stood in the dim room, the moonlight falling through the cracks in the window, coating his whole body with a layer of silvery white. He looked deeply at Shen Nianshu, and there seemed to be a thousand words hidden in those deep eyes.

Shen Nianshu lowered her head, holding the letter tightly with her fingers, and the emotions in her heart surged like a tide. There was so much she wanted to say, but she didn't know where to start.

Seeing her silence, Bai Nanyi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He sighed softly, walked towards Shen Nianshu, and stopped in front of her.

He lowered his head and looked at her, his voice low and gentle, "Don't you have nothing to say?"

Shen Nianshu raised her head and met Bai Nanyi's eyes. She saw the anticipation and reluctance in his eyes, and her heart warmed.

She said, "Well, be careful along the way."

As soon as Shen Nianshu finished speaking, Bai Nanyi's lips curled into a smile. He turned and walked towards the door, the moonlight shining on his back, casting a long shadow.

Shen Nianshu stood quietly, looking at Bai Nanyi 's figure about to disappear into the night, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in her heart.

At this moment, Bai Nanyi suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Shen Nianshu, "That little ball is mine. From now on, you can send letters to Pearl through him."

Shen Nianshu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Bai Nanyi's figure gradually disappeared into the night, while Shen Nianshu still stood there, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility of the night, and Caiwei ran in panting.

"Empress!" Caiwei shouted eagerly, with a look of anxiety on her face, "I heard it, I heard it!"

Shen Nianshu came back to her senses and looked at Caiwei, only to see that her face was red and there were fine beads of sweat hanging on her forehead.

"What did you find out?" Shen Nianshu asked softly, but there was a vague premonition in her heart.

Caiwei took a deep breath, calmed her breathing, and then whispered, "It is said that the imperial concubine is also pregnant, and she has twins."

When Shen Nianshu heard this, her heart was shocked, and the expression on her face instantly became solemn. She frowned, as if trying to digest the sudden news.

"Twins?" she repeated in a low voice, a trace of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

She knew that she had to stay calm and not let the news disrupt her plans.

However, her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. How can we be sure that they are twins after only a few months? Is there any conspiracy or trick in this? Things are not as simple as they appear.

At this moment, Caiwei 's voice sounded again, "Empress, there is one more thing."

Shen Nianshu retracted her thoughts, turned around and looked at Caiwei. Caiwei's expression was complicated, as if there was something unspeakable.

"What's the matter?" Shen Nianshu asked softly.

"Shun Guiren... was promoted last night and became a concubine . "

Shen Nianshu sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.

This concubine is really a master who knows how to pick up the slack. She was originally just an inconspicuous palace maid, but now she has become a concubine, which is really impressive. However, how long can this method be maintained?

She turned towards the window and looked out at the moonlight, but her heart was filled with doubts. The imperial concubine suddenly became pregnant with twins. There must be something fishy about it. Moreover, Concubine Shun 's promotion was too sudden, making people have to doubt the motives behind it.

Shen Nianshu took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in her heart. She knew that she couldn't act rashly and had to stay calm in order to deal with the next changes.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door...
