In the early morning, the sky is not yet bright, but the interior of Yongning Palace is bright.
"The Empress, the prince, the prince is back..."
"What!" Lin Wanning's eyelids have been twitching for the past few days, and her heart has always been filled with inexplicable worries. When she heard this, her whole body swayed, and her tone was very unbelievable: "Wu Zhiyuan didn't report it a few days ago. Does the letter say things are going well?"
In the letter, Wu Zhiyuan mentioned that Shengyang City was about to be besieged, and as soon as Jiang Bing arrived, it would be easy to trap Huo Du in the city.
What happened in this one
Mother Qin supported the queen with a gloomy expression on her face. She speculated softly, "Niangniang, now it seems that Wu Zhiyuan and the inside line you set up in Shengyang City may have already been cleared by the prince."
Lin Wanning's body froze, the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze, a coolness spread from her heart, and even her hair was oozing with cold.
Yes. Huo Du was able to see through her plan and easily decipher it without her even noticing it, and he could even prevent her from hearing a little bit of wind.
How much patience does he have
Lin Wanning lost her strength and slumped down on the beauty's couch—
Shengyang City was her last chance, but she couldn't get rid of him. Can she still have a chance now
At this time, the palace maid's voice came from outside the palace, "Niangniang, Jiang Taiyi asks to see you."
Lin Wanning frowned slightly.
What is he doing this early in the morning? Could it be... A long-awaited guess flooded her mind, and she couldn't help cheering up. She handed out the palm of her hand, and she walked to the bronze mirror to put on makeup...
"Wei Chen greets the empress and concubine."
Lin Wanning just arrived at the front hall, and as soon as she was seated, she saw the people in front of her respectfully greeting her. She bowed her head slightly and asked, "The Imperial Physician Jiang came to see this palace in a hurry today, why?"
"If you go back to Empress, according to your instructions, Wei Chen will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for a pulse of peace every five days. When I went to ask for a pulse yesterday evening, I found out that the third imperial concubine is more than a month pregnant." Jiang Tai doctor Shen Sheng said. , and added: "Because the third imperial concubine has been weak recently, and her pulse has been unstable, she found the happy pulse."
The dead heart gradually returned to life.
Sure enough, there is no way out.
A smile appeared on Lin Wanning's lips, she looked at Imperial Doctor Jiang and said, "Who else knows about this?"
Jiang Taiyi's expression was slightly restrained, and he answered in a loud voice: "The third prince is still banned... so he should not know, where is your majesty..."
"Your Majesty's place, Ben Gong will talk about it." Lin Wanning interrupted him, "You just need to take care of the third imperial concubine's fetus, understand?"
Facing the unrepentant tone, Imperial Doctor Jiang's eyes darkened and he sighed silently in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that his younger brother was doing bad things outside and was pinched by the queen, how could he be pinched
Over the years, how many dirty things he has done for the queen in secret, he has long lost his original intention of being a doctor. In the silent night, he did not know how many times he struggled.
However, there is no turning back.
If you go the wrong way, you have to keep going until the day you step into the abyss.
"Jiang Lin?"
Hearing his name, Jiang Lin suddenly returned to his senses, he silently nodded and said, "Yes."
After leaving for a while, and stepping into the Prince's Mansion again, Le Zhi's heart was a little sour, and some strange feelings gradually came to her mind.
— is the joy of returning home.
It is unimaginable that she has taken this place as her home.
"Master!" Li Yao had been waiting outside the dormitory early in the morning, and when he saw Le Zhi's figure, he couldn't stand up, he raised his legs and ran towards her.
Seeing this, Le Zhi was also a little excited. Looking at Li Yao's thin cheeks, she raised her hand to shake hers and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah!" Li Yao nodded with a smile, "Master, don't worry."
At this time, the housekeeper came over with a large stack of account books, and just when he heard these words, he stroked his beard, smiled softly, and then saluted Lezhi, saying, "The Crown Princess doesn't know anything, This girl wakes up at 90 every day and goes to the shop when she has time to work!"
I see.
No wonder this silly girl lost so much weight.
Le Zhi looked at her distressedly, but Li Yao smiled indifferently, and scratched his ears a little embarrassedly, "No, don't listen to the housekeeper's exaggeration."
"Hey, I'm not exaggerating!" The smile on the butler's face was even stronger. He weighed the account book in his hand and said, "The Crown Princess will know by looking at this."
Le Zhi blinked suspiciously.
She didn't know the meaning of the butler's words until she roughly read the account book. Previously, she had changed the types of goods in the shop, and with Yao's diligent day-to-day care during this period, her shop not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money—
It turned out that all the principal was earned back!
"Li Yao, you are amazing!" Le Zhi admired sincerely.
Jing Xin and Lin Yue on the side were also amazed and praised. On the contrary, she made Li Yao boast embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she smiled lowly.
The master and servant chatted for a while, and Lezhi couldn't help but ask about the condition of the old people in the capital.
"Master, rest assured, the third prince is confined to the mansion, and he is very safe." After the conversation changed, Li Yao was a little stunned, she said, "But since the third imperial concubine fought back to the prime minister's mansion, the palace has sent imperial physicians from time to time. Entering and leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know why."
Imperial doctor
If it is said that it is for the prince and concubine to ask for a pulse of peace, it makes sense. But so often... Le Zhi frowned slightly, thinking of Lin Wanning's treacherousness, and a burst of worry rose in her heart.
"I will write a letter later, and you will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and hand it over to Lu Ying in person."
Li Yao nodded his head.
After they left, Le Zhi wrote the letter and pondered quietly for a moment.
There are too many uncertainties in the future, she has been worried, if one day she unexpectedly happens, what will these three girls do? Jing Xin is accompanied by An Xuan, but she is not too worried; Lin Yue is a smart person, so she should not suffer any loss; but Li Yao... She has no one to rely on since she was a child. If she is gone, Li Yao will be lost again. what to do
Now, she's not worried anymore.
That shop can be reserved for the three of them in the future.
The girl's family, with money and silver on her body, is always more at ease.
Thinking of this, she curled her lips and smiled reassuringly.
The Third Prince's Mansion was silent.
Huo Xu sat in the study with a bad expression on his face.
It's been so many days, but the royal father still hasn't calmed down, not only banning his feet, but also not allowing others to visit. He almost forgot what day it was today.
I don't know what happened to the branches.
Recently, he has frequently thought about the years when he was hostage in Dali, and every time he felt a needle in his heart in the middle of the night.
He misses it and regrets it.
Yes, he regrets it.
If he was given another chance, he would definitely not be that ungrateful person.
So now, he won't be trapped here.
Counting the days, if those things didn't happen, he should have married Zhizhi at this time, and maybe there will be his children in his belly...
How beautiful!
Huo Xu was immersed in his own fantasy, until the door of the study was pushed open, Qin Yu entered the room with a face full of panic, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, the West Courtyard, where the West Courtyard..."
"Why so panic?" Huo Xu frowned and stood up.
Qin Yu hurriedly replied, "The man in the western courtyard just fainted. The doctor in the house checked the pulse and said it was a happy pulse."
Jiang Man has always had no name or distinction. She was only raised in the mansion as a passer-by. The servants were also embarrassed on weekdays and didn't know how to address her. Had to use "that" instead.
"What!" Huo Xu was a little surprised, but turned to a little joy.
The corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.
- He's going to be a dad!
Thinking of this, he quickly walked towards the west courtyard.
Le Zhi stood outside the Tangquan Pool for a long time, and the hot mist inside floated out a little from the crack of the door and fell into her eyes, as if it had a charming feeling.
The heart was pounding.
These days, because of traveling and taking care of Yu'er.
It's been a long time since they haven't...
She took a deep breath.
So now, there should be a wolf inside, right
"Don't come in yet?"
A familiar voice came, low and deep, as if tugging at her heartstrings. She calmed down and pushed the door in.
Thinking of the last time he and Huo Du shared a bath here, Le Zhi couldn't help bending his lips.
It's like an eternity!
But what about the people who should be immersed in the hot spring
Where are you going
"what!"
The next moment, the waist was looped, and the back was pressed against the warm chest. Le Zhi's cheeks flushed red, and he pushed his arm with his small hand, and said softly, "First, first take a shower!"
I didn't have any hope that Huo Du would listen to her, but when his waist loosened, he actually let go of her and said, "Okay."
Le Zhi turned around and saw that he was wearing only a thin scarlet shirt, which was loose.
However, it does cover all the places that are covered.
Pooh!
What is she thinking? what to cover...
The room was hot and foggy, and Lezhi was neatly dressed, but it was really hot right now, and even thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What are you doing?" Huo Du smiled slowly.
Le Zhi put his hand on the tie at the waist, pursed his lips and asked, "Aren't you going to wash it?"
After asking Lezhi, he regretted it, and he looked like he had already finished bathing.
I don't know what's wrong with holding back!
"Then why don't you go upstairs and wait for me?"
The second floor is a warm room full of aroma. It is the most comfortable to rest there after soaking in the hot spring.
But how could some people do what she wanted so easily, he took a soft chair quietly, sat beside Tangquan, and said solemnly, "I'll accompany you."
Who, want, you, accompany!
Lezhi was full of gloom, and the feeling of cutting flesh with a dull knife was really uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath, thinking about quickly taking off her clothes and jumping into the soup spring. But today, the clothes she was wearing were complicated and buttoned. She had to untie it for a long time, and her hands were sore before she could finish it. But she was in a hurry, and she continued to unravel without resting.
The busier and more chaotic, when she was untying the tie, she accidentally tied the original live button to a dead knot...
Le Zhi has never been so embarrassed, she bit her lip and tried to pull it.
Suddenly, a warm palm covered her hand and gently took it away, "I'll help you."
There was some helpless sigh in his voice, "What's the hurry? I can't run."
Lezhi's pupils tightened—
Has he started talking to himself again
Who is in a hurry
Really shameless!
The warm breath brushed against her neck, hot and hot. He seemed to be doing it on purpose, but he was very slow to solve it. Moreover, the fingertips always rubbed lightly against her soft skin.
Finally, the rib cage came down, but the hand on her waist didn't let go, but suddenly turned down.
Le Zhi raised his head in shock and shrank his shoulders sharply.
But Huo Du's shoulder had long been held down, he pressed it from behind, and his thin lips kissed the tip of her ear.
"Should you take a shower first?" His fingertips moved slightly, he chuckled softly, and asked in a low voice, "Or do you want me first?"
