Shen Nianshu froze on the spot, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart.

She has always disliked her father, feeling that he was cold and heartless and never gave her the care she deserved.

But at this moment, when she learned about such a big thing, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Shen Nianshu's thoughts were surging in her heart. She looked at the dim sky outside the window with mixed feelings in her heart. Bai Nanyu actually hid such a big thing from her.

She recalled the recent days. The emperor still dealt with government affairs every day, and would chat with her in his spare time. He always had a faint smile on his face, as if everything was business as usual.

But who would have thought that there was such a secret behind him.

Shen Nianshu bit her lip gently, feeling a surge of inexplicable anger and disappointment in her heart.

She suddenly felt that she was an outsider in this palace and could never see through the minds of those above her.

Shen Nianshu clenched her fist tightly, and her fingertips pierced her palm, causing a slight pain, but it also made her more awake. She recalled that in her previous life, she had fallen into their trap unknowingly and ended up with a tragic end.

At this moment, she stood in front of the window, the cold wind blowing through the cracks in her hair, as if to blow away the anger in her heart.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down her emotions.

Shen Nianshu was immersed in her thoughts when she suddenly heard Caiwei 's voice ringing in her ears, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a figure slowly approaching outside the window. The familiar dragon robe shone golden in the sun. Bai Nanyu , he's here.

Shen Nianshu quickly adjusted her emotions and turned to face the door, her face restored to calm. She bowed slightly and performed a standard court etiquette, "I, my concubine, are here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live."

Bai Nanyu walked in, his eyes fell on Shen Nianshu, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts. Shen Nianshu met his gaze. Although her heart was filled with ups and downs, there was no sign of it on her face.

Bai Nanyu approached Shen Nianshu, and he was a little surprised by her calmness. He frowned slightly and looked at her carefully, trying to read something in her eyes .

"What's wrong, are you angry with me?" he asked softly, with a hint of joking in his tone.

Shen Nianshu raised her head and met his gaze, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She pursed her lips and turned her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.

"I don't dare." She said calmly, with a hint of alienation in her voice.

Bai Nanyu saw this, his heart tightened. He reached out to hold her hand, but she avoided it lightly.

His hands hung in the air, frozen in embarrassment. He looked at Shen Nianshu's side face and saw that her brows were furrowed, as if she was trying to suppress something.

Bai Nanyu sighed in his heart, knowing that she must know something. He retracted his hand, patted her shoulder lightly, and said in a softer tone, "I know that you have never liked these disturbances. But there are some things that I don't tell you for your own good."

Shen Nianshu turned her head slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes. She looked at Bai Nanyu , trying to find the answer in his eyes.

Bai Nanyu looked at her, with complex emotions welling up in his heart. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "I have been trying to protect you and prevent you from being involved in these dangers. But I also know that there are some things that you cannot avoid."

He paused and continued, "The reason why I kept it from you is because I was afraid that you would be worried and scared."

When Shen Nianshu listened to Bai Nanyu 's explanation, she felt a complicated emotion instead. She looked up at him, and there seemed to be endless secrets hidden in those deep eyes.

Bai Nanyu looked at her, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He held her hand tightly, as if to convey his determination to her.

"I know that you have many questions in your heart, and I believe him, but please believe me, I will find out all this and give you an explanation." His voice was low and powerful, and every word was as firm as an oath.

Shen Nianshu felt the warmth coming from her hands.

She raised her head and met Bai Nanyu 's gaze.

What Shen Nianshu was thinking was indeed a man's mouth, a liar.

" Wan'er is sick, how about you help the Queen manage the Sixth Palace?"

Nanyu 's words, Shen Nianshu sneered in her heart.

"My concubine's abilities are limited and I may not be able to do the job."

Bai Nanyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed across his face. He looked at Shen Nianshu, and there seemed to be countless words hidden in those deep eyes.

Shen Nianshu's refusal surprised him, but he did not become angry. He knew her character well and understood her concerns.

He sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the window, his back turned to Shen Nianshu, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Then since you don't want to, then forget it."

Shen Nianshu looked at his broad back and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

However, her doubts did not dissipate.

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in, his face full of anxiety. He knelt in front of Bai Nanyu and reported in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the Queen's fetus is unstable. The imperial doctors are doing their best to treat her. I came here to report to Your Majesty."

Bai Nanyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around suddenly, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. He walked quickly towards the little eunuch, his voice low and urgent, "What did you say? What happened to the Queen?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice, "The Queen suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain..."

Bai Nanyu 's brows were furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Shen Nianshu stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes. She looked at Bai Nanyu 's anxious back, but there was no wave in her heart .

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and an imperial doctor ran in sweating profusely. He knelt in front of Bai Nanyu , with a hint of breath in his voice, "Your Majesty, Queen... Queen, she..."

Bai Nanyu 's heart suddenly tightened. He stared at the imperial physician closely, his voice trembling a little, "How is it, is the child okay?"

The imperial physician raised his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, the fetus has stabilized, but..."

"But what?" Bai Nanyu 's voice revealed anxiety and uneasiness. He tightly grasped the imperial physician's shoulders, as if he wanted to hear good news from him.

"Remember, don't let your emotions fluctuate again, otherwise next time..."

Bai Nanyu suddenly heard someone in the room say, "If it weren't for Concubine Shu, Your Majesty, you wouldn't have..."

"Shh, don't say that again."

Bai Nanyu just walked in, "What did you just say? Shu Fei?"

The maid fell to her knees.

"I'm asking you a question!"
