The next day, Shen Nianshu woke up slowly, and the sunlight shined on her pale face through the gauze-like curtains.

She frowned slightly, feeling a stab of pain in her back, as if it was being burned by fire, and every movement affected the nerves in her body.

She tried to get up, but the pain was unbearable, so she had to lie down again, with a trace of helplessness and pain in her eyes.

The room was quiet, except for the sounds of birds chirping outside the window and the breeze blowing through the curtains. Shen Nianshu closed her eyes and tried to relieve the pain with deep breaths.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. She opened her eyes and saw a maid holding a medicine bowl and gently pushing the door open.

When the maid saw her waking up, she smiled happily and said softly, "Mother, you are awake. Drink this medicine quickly."

Shen Nianshu turned her head slightly and looked at the medicine bowl in the maid's hand, with a trace of doubt in her eyes. She asked softly, "Where is this?"

After hearing this, the maid put down the medicine bowl, walked to the bedside, and whispered softly, "My Lady, you are in the emperor's palace now. The emperor specially arranged for you to rest here."

Shen Nianshu was shocked, she was actually in his bedroom?

She wanted to sit up, but was held down gently by the maid, "Mother, you just woke up and your body is still weak, so you should lie down and rest."

Shen Nianshu had no choice but to lie down obediently, but her eyes drifted to the window involuntarily. The sun is shining brightly outside the window, the trees are shady, and occasionally birds fly by, leaving behind a string of crisp chirps.

Seeing that Shen Nianshu was lost in thought, the maid said softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has restored your position."

Hearing this, Shen Nianshu felt a surge of complicated emotions in her heart.

" Where's Caiwei?"

Seeing the maid's expression change, Shen Nianshu felt nervous and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong ? What's wrong with Caiwei?"

The maid lowered her head and said with a trembling voice, "Empress, Caiwei ...she has been assigned to Xin Zheku."

Shen Nianshu's face changed suddenly, her hands clenched into fists, and a flash of pain flashed in her eyes, "How could she..."

Shen Nianshu's heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. She struggled to sit up, but felt dizzy. She bit her lower lip, trying to stay awake.

"Why? Caiwei has always been loyal, what mistake has she made?" Shen Nianshu's voice was trembling and confused.

The maid raised her head, her eyes full of sympathy and helplessness, "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's order. The emperor said that Caiwei did not perform her duty well and did not take good care of you, which caused you to be injured."

Shen Nianshu was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. Caiwei has always been by her side and taken good care of her. How could she not do her duty well?

She suddenly felt a chill coming over her, as if she was in an ice cellar. She looked at the sunshine outside the window, but felt that the warm light was so far away from her.

Shen Nianshu was immersed in grief when suddenly, a steady sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the room. She raised her head and saw Bai Nanyu walking in.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a stern face and unquestionable majesty in his eyes. The sunlight shone on him through the window, seeming to cast a golden halo over him.

Bai Nanyu walked to the bed and looked down at Shen Nianshu, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. He said softly, " Shu'er , don't you think she should be punished?"

Shen Nianshu raised her head and met Bai Nanyu 's gaze, her eyes full of anger and confusion. She struggled to get up, but was held down gently by Bai Nanyu .

"Your Majesty, Caiwei has always been loyal. I beg you as your concubine. Please let her serve by your side." Shen Nianshu's voice was trembling.

Bai Nanyu felt a sting in his heart when he looked at her stubborn eyes.

He knew that his decision might be drastic, but as an emperor, he must maintain his authority and rules.

He sighed softly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke Shen Nianshu's hair, and said in a softer tone, " Shu'er , I know that you and Caiwei have a deep relationship, but rules are rules and cannot be broken easily. However, since you insist so much , I will give you a favor and let Caiwei come back to serve you."

With that said, he turned around and told the maid , "Go and bring Caiwei back from Xinzheku."

When the maid heard this, she quickly bowed her head in response and hurriedly retreated.

When Shen Nianshu heard Bai Nanyu 's words, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

She gently held Bai Nanyu 's hand and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Nianshu looked at Bai Nanyu , and although she was grateful that he let Caiwei go , she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she remembered that she was in his palace at the moment.

She gently broke away from Bai Nanyu 's hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good for me to live here."

Bai Nanyu looked at her slightly red cheeks, and with a thought in his heart, he leaned close to her and said softly, " Shu'er , this is my palace. Since you are my concubine, what's wrong with living here? At least I'll wait until you get hurt. Let’s talk later.”

His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of irresistible majesty. Shen Nianshu was a little flustered by him and wanted to avoid his gaze, but he pulled her into his arms.

Her cheek was pressed against his chest, and she could clearly hear his powerful heartbeat. She wanted to struggle, but he held her tighter.

Eunuch Fu said from the side, "My queen, you see how kind the emperor is to you. You are the first person who can come out of the cold palace."

After saying this, Eunuch Fu went out.

Shen Nianshu felt Bai Nanyu 's embrace, and a warm current surged in her heart. She raised her head and met his deep gaze, her eyes shining with gratitude and tenderness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind to me, and I will always remember it in my heart." She said softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Bai Nanyu saw the tears in her eyes, his heart softened, and he lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

" Shu'er , as long as you are well, nothing else matters." He whispered, his tone full of doting and tenderness.

The sunlight shone on the two of them through the window, as if they were covered with a golden halo.

Bai Nanyu gently stroked Shen Nianshu's hair. His eyes were as deep as ink, revealing his endless care for Shen Nianshu.

The sun shines through the half-opened windows, and golden light spots embellish the two people, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

He lowered his head, his eyes fell on Shen Nianshu's pale but still beautiful face, and asked softly, "How are you today? Are you still feeling unwell?" His voice was full of tenderness and worry.

Shen Nianshu raised her head slightly and met Bai Nanyu 's concerned gaze, with a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now." Although her voice was still a little weak, she had regained some strength.

"Your Majesty, please come to the door to see me~"
