When her little thought was exposed, Jiang Qinglan suddenly lost her smile and sighed, "This wine is fruit wine. It is harmless to the body. Even if you are pregnant, there is no harm in drinking a glass."
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but nodded her forehead and said, "You ungrateful mother, be careful of bringing up my nephew!"
As he said that, the two of them laughed first.
At midnight, a heavy bell could be heard ringing outside the palace. It was Emperor Jing who rang the bell first, and then the eunuchs shouted in unison, "At the beginning of the new year, everything will be renewed, the lake will be thick and long, and the blessing will be prosperous." —”
The silk and bamboo orchestra in the hall were replaced by chimes, and a strong male voice echoed the bells, making it look particularly dignified and solemn.
The smile on Xie Ruzhuo's face also turned serious. The majesty of the Tian family can be felt with just one musical instrument.
After the banquet was over, Xie Ruzhuo saw Xiao Junxi waiting here as soon as he left the palace.
She was stunned for a moment, then walked over obediently and said with a smile on her face, "When did you come?"
Xiao Junxi was wearing a large robe, and despite this, her hands were a little cold. He avoided Xie Ruzhuo's grasp of his hand, put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and replied, "I've only been here for a while, so I expected to be there earlier than you, so I came to pick you up."
When the wives who came out one after another saw Xiao Junxi, they hurriedly said hello. Xiao Junxi only nodded and left the palace with her beloved wife.
When I returned to the house, it was already late at night.
According to the rules, people must stay up on New Year's Eve, but Xiao Junxi felt sorry for her little head getting sleepy little by little, so she couldn't help but put her on the bed and hug her to rest.
Xie Ruzhuo was already a little sleepy, but smelling his reassuring scent made him want to sleep immediately. But when she thought of what Xian Concubine said today, she braced herself and said, "Today Xian Concubine ordered people to invite Xiao Junhan. She seemed very impatient. What do you think I neglected?"
She was a little confused now and her thinking was much slower. But Xie Ruzhuo always felt that there was something that he had overlooked.
What is going on
Xiao Junxi frowned slightly, remembering that Xiao Junhan was indeed a little unable to sit still today. But when he lowered his head and saw his wife holding on, his heart softened again. He kissed her forehead and coaxed, "Just worry about these things for your husband. Zhuo'er, go to sleep."
Xie Ruzhuo couldn't resist his coaxing and was really sleepy, so she immediately stopped holding on and found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell asleep soon after.
Xie Ruzhuo slept very well that night, but Xiao Junxi kept her eyes open until dawn.
He was holding the woman he loved most in his arms. Her face looked particularly peaceful and gentle under the warmth of the red candle.
I think back to this time last year, he was still struggling in a critical condition, but within a year, he had returned to normal. And the person he loves the most is also holding hands with him.
In the past, such a long night would have been endless, but now, it had become his most leisurely and comfortable time.
I'm so lucky to have you in this life.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules, Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi were going to the palace to pay their respects.
Although Emperor Jing's complexion was still not very good, it had improved a lot. After the two saluted, Emperor Jing ordered the reward with a smile. After a few words of instructions, he asked the two to go out.
Xiao Junxi and Xiao Junxi were about to go out when they saw Xiao Junhan walking in holding Shen Jingci's hand.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy that Shen Jingci looked particularly proud, as if she was a villain who had succeeded.
But after Emperor Jing saw the two holding hands, his original smile suddenly fell.
Xiao Junxi nodded slightly as a signal, and left with Xie Ruzhuo. For Xiao Junhan, Xiao Junxi is particularly annoying now. Whenever she thinks of what Xie Ruzhuo said and how he personally pushed Xie Ruzhuo to hell in his previous life, Xiao Junxi becomes filled with hatred.
Fortunately, I have him to protect me in this life. The woman he loves most, no one can touch her.
When they went to Concubine Ye's palace, Concubine Ye also gave her a reward and told Xie Ruzhuo a lot of things to pay attention to every day.
Seeing that Concubine Ye was also very busy, the two of them left the palace not long after.
After returning home, he discussed the rewards with his servants again. Xie Ruzhuo specially gave the two girls a holiday and let them go out and have fun.
Just when she asked the maids to go out, the concierge announced that various ladies had come to visit her.
Until the tenth day of the lunar month, Xie Ruzhuo had no time to rest. Apart from going back to Xie's house, he also received the families of various ministers.
These married women are not comparable to their own family members. Xie Ruzhuo needs to know the twists and turns in their words and the factions among each minister, so as not to leave clues or cause unnecessary trouble.
After working so hard for some time, when Xie Ruzhuo could finally take a break and take a breath, only a small tail of the New Year's figure was left.
It just seemed like she couldn't take any time off.
At dusk, the setting sun renders the sky particularly beautiful.
Xie Ruzhuo had a stable fetus these days and no longer had to take those painful and painful pregnancy pills. He was playing with a pot of good tea in the yard in a leisurely mood when he saw a snow-white pigeon landing next to him.
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the teapot in his hand, touched the pigeon to his side, and untied the letter tube tied to its leg.
After seeing the above content, the smile on Xie Ruzhuo's face suddenly disappeared and he said in a deep voice, "Jiangzhu, bring me the pen and ink."
Jiangzhu was already familiar with this scene. Hearing this, he hurriedly went into the room to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her.
Xie Ruzhuo quickly wrote a note. After writing it, he handed it to Shi Mo and said, "Send it to Hong Rui. It must be completed before tonight."
Until Jiang Zhu left, the expression on Xie Ruzhuo's face had not softened. She finally remembered what she had overlooked.
At the daughter's banquet, the doctor from the former Imperial Hospital who came out to identify the virtuous concubine, Lin Bufan!
Lin Bufan is now imprisoned in the sky prison and has not yet been executed. It was because Xiao Junyi protected him before, but after Xiao Junyi was placed under house arrest, Lin Bufan was ignored.
She originally thought that Lin Bufan had no valuable clues, so she never paid attention to it.
But today's note clearly stated that Xiao Junhan sent a group of killers to assassinate Lin Bufan!
In other words, there must be secrets in Lin Bufan's mouth that she doesn't know about. And Xian Concubine's frightened expression that night was probably related to this.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What kind of secrets was this former doctor from the Tai Hospital hiding
About an hour later, Jiang Zhu turned back and whispered back, "Princess, I have already sent a message. The old ghost said that if we act tonight, we will not let the princess down."
Xie Ruzhuo then breathed out slowly, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his palms, and said, "I understand, you can go down first."
In the sky prison, it seems that the sun will never shine at any time.
Especially now under the moonlight with lanterns lit.
Lin Bufan had not taken a shower for a long time, and Lin Bufan's hair was covered with thick dust. He devoured the last bite of rice, and then put the bowl aside with unfinished content.
Who would have thought that the imperial doctor, who was so famous in the past, would now be reduced to a place where he is no better than a pig or a dog
But even in this kind of life, he lived on tenterhooks. Ever since Xiao Junyi was placed under house arrest, his life has not been as good as before. Xiao Junyi is his protective umbrella. Once Xiao Junyi falls, his life will be in danger.
Especially these days, he would be woken up by nightmares every night.
A prison guard came over, took a look at Lin Bufan, who was looking sad, and said mockingly, "Old man, I see you looking sad every day, as if someone is thinking about you. Don't worry, you can't be slapped three times. Come with a coin and no one will harm you."
This cell leader is new, and I don’t know why Lin Bufan was imprisoned. He didn't care. There were a lot of prisoners in the prison today. If he understood them all, wouldn't he be busy to death
The prison boss thought he saw things very accurately, so he just laughed. Seeing that Lin Bufan ignored him, he collected the empty bowl and left without thinking.
When the moon reached its zenith, Lin Bufan couldn't bear the feeling of sleepiness. He yawned, rolled up the straw mat, and rolled it out to sleep.
This kind of day where he can eat and sleep tells him that he is still alive. As long as a person is alive, he is better than anything else.
As soon as he fell into a drowsy sleep, he saw in his dream that he was in a noisy downtown. There were all kinds of stalls on the roadside with tempting food on them.
Lin Bufan swallowed and was about to reach out to take it when a vendor opened his hand fiercely and cursed, "You stinking beggar, get out of here!"
Being scolded like this, Lin Bufan immediately retorted, "What do you know? I'm from the former Tai Hospital—"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw a steel knife on his neck, and someone behind him said gloomily, "Are you Lin Bufan from Taiyuan Hospital? You are the one I am looking for. Go see the King of Hell!"
"ah-"
Lin Bufan sat up suddenly from the straw mat. Just as he was about to be thankful that he was just having a dream, his eyes suddenly widened.
The cell leader was lying straight outside his cell door, and there was a man standing next to the cell leader, holding the key that he had just fumbled from the cell leader's body and trying the keys randomly.
Seeing Lin Bufan wake up, the man stopped his movements and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you Lin Bufan, the doctor from Qian Tai Hospital?"
These words overlapped with those in his dream. Lin Bufan hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "You, you got the wrong person, I'm not!"
The man ignored his words and only said, "Yes or no, let's tell the King of Hell later!"
As he spoke, the lock was heard to open with a click, and the man instantly pulled the chain aside and threw it to the ground with a clatter.
The cell door was pushed open.
Lin Bufan was frightened and hid behind his back. He said with tears in his eyes, "Hero, you really got the wrong person. I'm really not Lin Bufan. Please let me go!"
The man in black snorted, quickly pulled out the knife, raised it high, and slashed towards Lin Bufan's neck!
Lin Bufan screamed in a different tone, and saw that the knife was only an inch away from his neck.
And the man in black had a sharp sword pierced through his abdomen. The man in black looked at the sword that passed through his abdomen in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but he could only make a gurgling sound in his throat.
The bright red blood sprayed on Lin Bufan's face. He was so paralyzed that he could not move. He could only stare blankly at another man who appeared in the cell at an unknown time.
