“Plop!”
Luo Qingzhou took off all his clothes and jumped directly into the bathtub.
In the bathing pool, mist is thick and the water is rippling.
The warm pool water and red petals instantly enveloped his entire tired body.
He moaned in comfort.
It's been a month.
I haven't taken a bath for a whole month.
You can imagine how dirty he was.
As he was lying on the jade, rubbing it gently with his eyes closed, a cold jade hand suddenly reached out from behind and gently rubbed his shoulders.
Yuewu said softly, "Sir, His Majesty will be here soon."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "How is the baby?"
Yuewu smiled and said, "The baby is very cute. He has grown up and is as beautiful as Your Majesty."
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes, turned his head and glanced at her, and said: "How can a boy be called beautiful? You should say he is as handsome as me."
Yue Wu smiled and said, "Any child can be called beautiful. And the baby really looks like your Majesty. When he's angry, a flame mark will appear between his brows."
"Yeah?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, a little worried: "Hey, it seems that his temper may not be good in the future."
Yue Wu whispered, "Are you slandering His Majesty, young master?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately denied: "Of course not."
Yuewu snorted softly, "That's right, Yuewu wants to tell His Majesty that Young Master... ah!"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly grabbed her little hand and pulled her down.
“Plop!”
Water splashed everywhere.
Yuewu screamed and fell on his chest, her dress instantly soaked and her face full of panic.
Luo Qingzhou pinched her delicate face, pulled it, and said, "Do you still want to tell His Majesty?"
Yuewu blushed, bit her pink lips, and said weakly: "No, I won't say anymore..."
Luo Qingzhou then let go of his hand and said, "Continue to scrub your body."
"yes… "
Yuewu lowered her eyes and continued to rub him gently.
Gradually, her cheeks became redder and her eyes became mistier and mistier. Soon, her whole body was immersed in the water...
I don’t know how much time passed.
The stone door suddenly opened slowly with a bang.
Luo Qingzhou immediately opened his eyes and looked.
The queen came in wearing a fiery red dress, holding a baby in her arms. She walked in smiling and teasing the baby.
But after she took a few steps, she suddenly raised her head and asked in confusion: "Where is Yuewu?"
The moment she looked over, Luo Qingzhou trembled with fear and stammered, "She...she..."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and looked into the bathtub.
“Wow!”
At this moment, Yuewu suddenly popped her head out of the water, coughed a few times with her face full of water, and hurriedly went ashore, knelt on the ground with her head lowered, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this servant... this servant... cough cough cough..."
"Look up."
Nangong Huoyue said coldly.
Yuewu slowly raised her head, her face was slightly pale, her body was covered with water stains, and her mouth was tightly closed.
Nangong Huoyue stared at her for a moment, then said calmly, "Get up."
Yuewu then lowered her head and slowly stood up.
Nangong Huoyue ignored her and looked at someone in the bathtub and said, "Are you done bathing? The baby is going to sleep."
Luo Qingzhou quickly scrubbed it a few more times, then went ashore and put on his clothes.
The baby was turning his face to the side, looking at him curiously with his big black eyes.
Luo Qingzhou hurried over and stretched out his hand.
Nangong Huoyue glanced at him again, then lowered his head and smiled at the baby, saying, "Feiyu, look who this bad guy is?"
"Yeah..."
The baby blinked and stretched out his little fist towards Luo Qingzhou.
Nangong Huoyue snorted, "You are indeed a bad guy. The baby will beat you up when he sees you."
Luo Qingzhou quickly took the baby in his arms, lowered his head and carefully looked at the baby's eyebrows and eyes, and said in surprise: "It really looks like your Majesty, with big eyes and long eyelashes, very beautiful."
Nangong Huoyue said proudly: "Of course my prince looks like me."
Luo Qingzhou felt a little regretful: "If it's a girl, she must be prettier than Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, "Haven't you planned it a long time ago? I will give you a boy, and your sister Yue will give you a girl. Didn't they agree to it?"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly froze.
"snort!"
Nangong Huoyue flicked her sleeves, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, no longer paying attention to him.
Luo Qingzhou was embarrassed and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you know this?"
Suddenly, he remembered Yueying's message.
"Well, can the communication certificate restore deleted messages?"
Nangong Huoyue looked at him coldly and said, "You only know it now? I thought you knew it a long time ago and kept it to yourself to piss me off."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Aiya..."
At this moment, the baby suddenly waved his hands and started grabbing his face.
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Ouch, it hurts, stop scratching, Daddy was wrong, Daddy will never make your mother angry again..."
Nangong Huoyue chuckled and snorted, "Good catch! Baby, scratch him hard, scratch his face, and make him too embarrassed to see people! Humph!"
The baby continued to wave his hands and grab.
Luo Qingzhou continued to lower his head and beg for mercy.
Nangong Huoyue looked at this scene and thought of how he had been hiding underground and practicing hard for the past six months. His heart softened and he asked, "How is your practice going?"
Luo Qingzhou then looked at her and said, "Not bad."
Nangong Huoyue frowned slightly and said, "How good is good? How much progress has been made?"
Luo Qingzhou did not answer. He paused and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely break through before the Jiuzhou Conference."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "You don't have to feel too burdened. If you can't break through, we won't participate. At most, we can compromise, endure humiliation, cede land and pay compensation to buy you more time."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else and looked down at the baby in his arms.
Nangong Huoyue did not continue the topic and changed it: "The dean has broken through to the peak of Guiyi. I have visited your family several times and they are all doing well."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "It's my duty. I am the legal wife."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Baby is yawning. He must be tired and needs to rest."
Nangong Huoyue came over quickly, took it, and said, "I'll coax him to sleep, you go home and check on him."
Then he added: "I know you still want to see her. I have no objection. She has done so many things for you, it is only right that you go and accompany her."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. He looked at the baby in her arms again, then said goodbye and left.
The cave door slowly closed.
The practice room was quiet for a moment.
Nangong Huoyue turned her head and looked at Yuewu beside her, and asked, "Are you full?"
Yue Wu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then hurriedly lowered her head, her face flushed, and she stammered: "Your servant..."
"Go change your clothes, take a good shower, and come and help me coax the baby to sleep. The baby loves to hear you sing."
Nangong Huoyue said calmly.
Yuewu said quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Luo Qingzhou left the palace and returned to the Qin Mansion.
Night has fallen.
A bright moon rises in the sky, casting bright moonlight.
Luo Qingzhou looked up and was about to enter the Meixiang Garden, but after thinking for a while, he walked towards the Lingchan Moon Palace next door.
"Winter, winter, winter!"
When he reached the door, he raised his hand and knocked gently.
There was no movement inside.
He knocked a few more times and said, "Bai Ling... Chan Chan..."
Still no one responded.
He waited for a while and looked at the wall next to him.
Just as he was hesitating whether to jump in, Qiu'er suddenly came out from the Meixiang Garden next door, looked at him and said, "Son-in-law, the eldest lady and her family are not at home. They went out shopping."
"shop?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Who are you with?"
Qiu Er said, "It's the eldest lady, Sister Bai Ling, and Sister Xia Chan, that's the three of them."
Luo Qingzhou was a little surprised: "The three of them went out shopping?"
Qiu Er smiled and said, "It's indeed a bit strange. The eldest lady and Chanchan never go out. When Sister Bailing came to tell us tonight, we were also surprised. The second lady also said that she wanted to accompany the eldest lady, but was rejected by Sister Bailing. Sister Bailing said that the eldest lady wanted to go out alone and be quiet."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, "Go out and be quiet?"
Qiu Er said: "I don't know the reason either."
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Do you know where they went?"
Qiu'er shook her head.
Luo Qingzhou was confused and entered the Meixiang Garden.
Miss Qin Er walked out of the room, and when she saw him, she said softly, "Sister may be tired of staying in the room, or Bailing wants to go out. Brother Qingzhou, don't worry, Chanchan is with you."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Have you been coughing again recently?"
Miss Qin Er said, "It's much better now. I only coughed a few times a month, and I didn't cough up blood. The pill that Brother Qingzhou brought back is very effective."
Luo Qingzhou felt relieved and said, "Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will help you find a few more."
The two talked for a while in the corridor.
Luo Qingzhou entered the room, collected the spiritual liquid on the table, and said, "Wei Mo, I may not come back for the next two months. If you have any problems, let Long Er inform me, or go directly to His Majesty or the Princess."
Miss Qin Er did not ask any more questions and said softly, "Well, Brother Qingzhou, don't worry about home. Sister Meijiao often comes over, and His Majesty comes over occasionally. Weimo is in good health and will wait for Brother Qingzhou to come back at home."
Luo Qingzhou held her in his arms, his heart full of apology, and said: "Once things are settled, I will stay at home with you."
"Um."
Miss Qin leaned in his arms and hugged him.
The two of them talked to each other for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qingzhou did not linger any longer and left directly from underground.
After leaving the Qin Mansion.
He suddenly thought of the eldest lady and Chanchan and others.
He immediately came out from underground, flew into the air, and looked down.
The entire inner city streets and alleys are in full view.
But he searched carefully for a long time and did not see the eldest lady and her two companions.
"Not in the inner city?"
He was confused and was about to go to the outer city to look for him when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of a pharmacy on a street not far away.
