However, in the end, she had no one by her side, and Duke Zheng did not fully trust her. For the present, the strategy was to first make her feel wary.
She couldn't act recklessly at will.
Ye Muyu, since meeting Madam Tang, had been accompanying Madam Liu in praying to Buddha every day.
No one knew both women prayed for Chu Heng, hoping he was all right.
But as her morning sickness was severe, Madam Liu only allowed her to pray for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn each day, not letting her move about unnecessarily.
While Ye Muyu was tormented to the point of losing track of time,
the Capital received news.
Fu Ming's supply convoy had run into trouble.
It was originally the second batch of supplies, but before it could reach the Northern Region, it was discovered at the post station that the supplies were moldy grains.
This news, when sent back to the Capital, enraged Emperor Xuanming, who sternly instructed the Ministry of Punishment to investigate.
