The Empress was inside the library, flipping a book's page. Her cousin and Lady Chen were coming here.
She was recalling the day prince Wu Xiuying left, it was heartbreaking and now her grandmother was waiting to see whether he was going to prove his words or not.
Hours passed since she kissed him, their child was growing in her belly, and she felt the lack of his presence, she needed his passion and his warm strong figure to embrace her.
"Your highness, Lord Xing and Lady Chen are here."
Fu Liu announced them.
"Come inside, please!"
The couple entered and she smiled, seeing them was a relief. She hoped to see their child soon. Xing Chong Guo fulfilled his task perfectly toward them.
She closed the book and pointed to the pillows. "Please take your seat." Averting her head, she continued, "Bring us sweet and whatever we prepared."
The eunuch obeyed and left.
