Chapter 1591 -1584: Ultimate Pampering
She didn’t have to do anything, she did nothing!
Yet, she usurped the empress title she painstakingly schemed for!
Li Yunshu pointed furiously at the sky, “Heaven, you are being unfair to me!”
“You are being unfair to me! Why?!”
Why did Rong Yun so easily take away everything she wanted?
“Your Majesty, getting angry now is not important, the important thing is to quickly inform Lord Duke that if Rong Yun gives birth to a prince for the emperor, it would be troublesome!”
Chun Xing kept bowing, reminding Li Yunshu.
What she should do now is to figure out how to deal with Rong Yun, not wallow in the jealousy of having the empress title snatched by Rong Yun!
The emperor does not love her anyway!
She needed to think about the empress position, think about her Li family’s support for Qin Muyan’s ascent to the throne, the ultimate purpose!
Li Yunshu closed her eyes in pain and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with hateful venom, “Send someone immediately to deliver a message to grandpa! This child of Rong Yun, cannot be born!”
She will definitely not let Rong Yun get her way!
“You dream of loving affection with the emperor, wishing your son to become the Crown Prince, and to forever be at peace? You’re dreaming!” Li Yunshu roared towards the sky!

Zhi Luo Palace.
Qin Muyan woke up early, checked Rong Yun’s breakfast and medicine, and called Yan Momo and others, repeatedly reminding them before reluctantly leaving.
He specifically instructed Wei Mingze, “You stay in the Empress’s palace, do not step away even for a moment!”
Wei Mingze knelt on one knee, his face solemn, “Understood!”
Qin Muyan turned to Yan Momo, “Tell Jingjing, after I finish the morning court, I will come to accompany her as soon as possible, tell her to eat well, and with my token, you go and buy things for Jingjing, this Zhi Luo Palace is simple, decorate the palace according to the empress’s specifications, I believe you can handle it well.”
Qin Muyan took out a golden token, handing it over to Yan Momo.
Yan Momo kneeled in fear and trepidation, “I will handle it well!”
She received the golden token from Qin Muyan’s hands, respectfully seeing him off.
The token in her hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, it was Qin Muyan’s trust in her as one of the palace maids, and also his profound love for Rong Yun!
Yan Momo took a deep breath, a smile involuntarily forming on her lips, “Finally… all efforts have not been in vain!”
She originally consulted with Wei Mingze, hiding the news of Rong Yun’s pregnancy, waiting for the court situation to stabilize before bringing Rong Yun back, and now it seems, it couldn’t be more correct!
The position of empress for Rong Yun is secure by half!
“Hong Xiu, Xiao Xiang.”
Yan Momo called out behind her.
Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang immediately approached cautiously, both saying in unison, “We are here.”
“Come with me, to furnish the palace for our empress,” said Yan Momo with a smile.
Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang, hearing this, had joy written all over their faces, both girls immediately bent their knees, “Yes, auntie!”
In a morning’s time, the incident of Yan Momo holding Qin Muyan’s token spread throughout the entire palace, concubines in the palace went to the Empress’s palace gate to pay their respects, all four departments, six bureaus, and the Imperial Medical Academy, recognized Yan Momo and her attendants Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang, showing them utmost respect.
And they do not covet the respect from people in the palace, consistently refusing to accept gold foil bribes, treating everyone with courtesy and meticulousness, earning praise from everyone in the palace.
Nurse Yan picked out things that were useful for Rong Yun and brought them back to Zhi Luo Palace, and also brought a few female imperial chefs to set up a small kitchen in the Zhi Luo Palace for Rong Yun.
Rong Yun’s diet was strictly not to be touched by anyone outside Zhi Luo Palace.
When Rong Yun awakened, Nurse Yan came to report these matters to her.
Rong Yun listened to each item, and also drank a bowl of freshly stewed bird’s nest, “You have taken a lot of trouble over these matters, auntie.”
“Yes, currently I am still robust, and can take care of many things for Your Highness,” Nurse Yan joked while wiping the sweat from her forehead, “Your Highness, you are soon to be a mother, yet you are still so gentle. What will happen when you become the empress?”
“Once I become empress… it will still be hard on you, auntie. If you can’t handle it alone, just call on Hong Xiu, Xiao Xiang, and the palace guard to help,” Rong Yun cradled her stomach and puffed her cheeks.
Her thoughts were still as naive as before.
Nurse Yan looked at her, laughed, and then shook her head, “Forget it! Your Highness, you’ll never learn the cunning schemes in this lifetime. Asking you to deal with people is probably harder than asking you to give birth!”
“Auntie, you are teasing me again!” Rong Yun realized, auntie was saying she was incompetent!
She was indignant, yet she had no way to refute it; she just couldn’t do those things!
To be ruthless, she couldn’t be; to punish or beat someone, she couldn’t bear to see it!
She could only… manage somehow, and maybe give birth to a child for Qin Muyan!
Rong Yun looked at the color of the sky outside the window, thinking Qin Muyan should be arriving soon, right?
She touched her stomach and whispered with a gentle laugh, “Shunshun, Daddy will be here to join us soon!”
Qin Muyan had been busy all afternoon, rushing frantically towards Zhi Luo Palace, his dragon robe soaked through from the day’s wear and he hadn’t had time to change.
“Achoo—”
He had just entered the grand hall when he sneezed forcefully.
Rong Yun, with her large belly, came forward to greet him, “Qin Muyan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Wait, don’t come closer!”
Qin Muyan quickly stepped back, turned around, sneezed a few more times, breathed more comfortably, and then slowly walked towards Rong Yun, “I might have caught a cold today, I better not get too close to you in case I pass it to you. You are about to give birth, it would be terrible if you fell ill.”
This was what the court physician told him yesterday; anyone with illness must stay far from Rong Yun. She is pregnant now and if she gets a cold or fever, she can’t take medicine, she must endure it, which could affect the fetus in her womb.
He had guarded against others, but he couldn’t afford to let himself cause illness to Rong Yun and the child.
Otherwise, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He already felt enough guilt towards her as it was.
“So you won’t join me for the meal?” Rong Yun pouted slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
“I will join you, but we must have a screen between us.”
Qin Muyan had someone bring a small screen, behind which he and Rong Yun, each at a separate table, had their meal while Nurse Yan served the dishes beside Rong Yun.
Whether he ate or not didn’t matter much; but while separated by the screen, seeing Rong Yun enjoying her meal made him happy.
After dinner, Rong Yun washed and neatly lay half-reclined on the bed, Qin Muyan stood by her bed, drying her hair.
Rong Yun looked up, saw that Qin Muyan not only wrapped his face but also wore a hood, and she foolishly smiled, “Why do you look like a thief, hiding your face like that?”
Qin Muyan’s husky voice came through, “The court physician said this way, you won’t catch any illness from me, I absolutely cannot infect you. Initially, I didn’t want to come but fearing that you would sulk, I still came to dry your hair.”
It had been a long time since he last dried her hair. Back in the prince’s mansion, he used to dry her hair, although initially, he was not adept at it—his ten thick fingers frequently tugged at her hair, causing her to ‘hold her head and cry’].’
