Chapter 704
And at this critical moment, something unexpected happened.

In the afternoon of summer, the weather is hot, dark clouds cover the top, and a storm is coming.

The entire Zhaohua Palace was in a state of dullness.

Shangyue was taking a nap, although there was an ice basin in the hall, and Li Ruo and Huiru were also fanning her, but it might be due to the weather, Shangyue was extremely bored, and woke up after not sleeping for a while.

She was very thin, so she appeared to have a surprisingly large belly.

As the time of childbirth drew closer, Shangyue, like all pregnant women, became clumsy in her movements, often needing help from others to sit up.

Seeing her wake up, Li Ruo immediately brought warm water for her to drink.

Shangyue took a sip and stopped drinking.

The rainstorm was coming, and at some point outside, a strong wind blew up, shaking the flower branches in the garden.

Shangyue sat and listened for a while, then got out of bed.

Seeing this, Huiru immediately put down the fan in her hand and knelt down to put on her shoes.

Her legs and feet were swollen a lot, and her shoes had to be one size bigger than before to be able to wear them.

Huiru put on her shoes, and she got out of bed.

"Niang Niang, it's windy outside, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain, it's better not to go out." Li Ruo couldn't help persuading her when she saw that she was going out.

"It's okay, I'll just take a walk under the corridor." Shangyue had already walked out while speaking.

Now, even if she can't see, she can still tell the general direction, so she won't have to bump into the road like when she just lost her sight.

Even so, she was very careful when walking, because she was afraid of falling or hurting the baby in her womb.

Rejecting Li Ruo and Hui Ru's support, she fumbled and quickly left the bedroom.

As soon as she left the dormitory, a sudden gust of wind blew her skirts rattling.

Shangyue felt even more irritable in her heart, stood there for a while, then suddenly walked towards the imperial study.

Li Ruo and Hui Ru didn't dare to neglect, they hurried forward to take care of her.

Now, the empress is not as usual, she is blind, and seeing that the time to give birth is coming, everyone is very careful, for fear that if she makes a mistake, they will be blamed even if they die.

When we arrived at the imperial study room, Shang Wenxuan, who was guarding outside the study room, couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Shangyue had come over in such weather, and hurried forward to salute and greet him.

"Why did the lady come here?"

"Shang Wenxuan, is Minghua in there?" Shangyue asked.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not here and has left the palace." Shang Wenxuan immediately replied.

Shangyue frowned, "Leaving the palace? It's going to rain, what is Minghua doing out of the palace?"

"Master Mingxue committed suicide." Shang Wenxuan replied truthfully.

Shangyue was startled when she heard the words.

If Shang Wenxuan hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered the girl who wanted to recruit herself as her son-in-law back then.

"Why?" Shang Yue couldn't help asking.For Mingxue, she is not without ill feeling. In my impression, she is a rather arrogant girl, but she has a good heart.

Shang Wenxuan shook his head, "I don't know."

Shangyue fell into deep thought.

Minghua is the daughter of King Huaiyang, and she is in the imperial capital now, so she is actually similar to a proton.

But if she died, King Huaiyang, who was originally disobedient, would use this as an excuse to rebel.

"If Princess Mingxue dies, King Huaiyang will rebel." Shang Wenxuan couldn't help but continued.

Shangyue's heart sank slightly, and it was as expected as she thought.

The king of Huaiyang, Mingchu, is a man of great deliberation. If he rebels, the state of Chu will be in chaos.
