Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was a little surprised. He simply sat back on the bed again, held Xiao Xinqi in his arms, and said softly, "What secret does Qi'er want to tell me?"
"I, I saw the Second Emperor's brother pinching the old grandma's neck. It was so scary!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Ruzhuo's expression changed immediately, "Qier, when did you see this?"
Xiao Xinqi is only four years old this year, and she only started to remember things in the past two years. If this scene was not imagined by her, then there is only one possibility—
"I, I saw it a few days ago. I couldn't find my mother-in-law the next day."
When Xiao Xinqi said this, she was a little on the verge of tears, "The second emperor brother looks so scary, that nanny can't move, the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law is also missing, Qi'er is so scared."
Xie Ruzhuo's heart sank instantly.
Hundreds of thoughts were running through her mind, and she did not forget to coax Xiao Xinqi, "Don't be afraid, Qi'er, it was just a nightmare you had. From now on, the emperor's wife will be by your side to protect you, and Qi'er will never dream about it again." .”
Although Xiao Xinqi was young, she could tell the difference clearly. She immediately explained in a trembling voice, "No, Sister-in-law, this is not a dream!"
"Qi'er—"
Xie Ruzhuo looked at her seriously and said, "Qi'er, remember, this is just a dream, good child, go to sleep."
Xiao Junhan secretly committed suicide in the palace, which can only mean one thing. This nanny definitely has an ulterior secret with him. And Xiao Xinqi is just a child, and he can't protect her all the time. If Xiao Junhan knows that his control falls into the hands of a four-year-old girl, you can imagine what will happen to Xiao Xinqi!
Xiao Xinqi had never seen the emperor's sister-in-law with such a serious attitude. She was immediately frightened and nodded timidly, "The emperor's sister-in-law said yes, that's right."
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little distressed. He hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Qi'er, go to sleep."
After he had comforted Xiao Xinqi and she actually fell asleep, Xie Ruzhuo blew out the lights in the room and turned to go to the study.
She needed to discuss this matter with Xiao Junxi.
Time passes quickly, and the end of February is here in a blink of an eye.
No matter how reluctant Shen Jingci was to see this happen, Xiao Junhan and Murong Wan's wedding still came as scheduled.
Knowing that Shen Jingci has been going to Dr. You Fang more frequently recently, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but sneer, "It doesn't matter, she can go if she wants. Just remember to tell Lao Chen that the dose of medicine should not be too large. Let people discover the flaw.”
Hearing this, Lan Yue immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master. Brother Chen said that there is no one else in the world who can figure out the mystery of his recipe except the sect master."
Lan Yue was a man in the secret door. The old ghost felt sorry for his daughter-in-law who kept running away from home, so he dispatched Lan Yue from the secret door to report the situation to Xie Ruzhuo.
As for the doctor You Fang who had amazing medical skills before, he was even more capable in the secret door.
Seeing the adoring look on Lan Yue's face, Xie Ruzhuo complained in his heart, still with an indistinguishable smile on his face, and said, "Yes, Concubine Shen's fetus is probably not stable these days. You go back and inform Lao Chen, he will know what to do."
Lan Yue said yes, and seeing that Xie Ruzhuo had no further instructions, she bowed and turned around and walked out.
For a moment, only Xie Ruzhuo was left in the room.
The sunlight from outside came in, making the expression on her face even more clear.
Two days ago, Xiao Junhan married his real wife in a grand manner. Shen Jingci saw this in her heart, and naturally she didn't feel any better. Coupled with the conflict between the two of them before they got married, Shen Jingci was not having an easy time these days.
Murong Wan is no better than Qin Wanyi. When Qin Wanyi was in the house, as long as Shen Jingci behaved well, Qin Wanyi would not embarrass her. But now that Murong Wan is here, every step Shen Jingci takes will be very difficult.
What's more, Xie Ruzhuo was behind it.
After the news that she asked Lao Chen to convey spread out this afternoon, Shen Jingci will probably become even more unable to sit still.
As he thought about it, a smile slowly appeared on Xie Ruzhuo's lips, "Shen Jingci, you want supreme glory, but I want to leave you with nothing!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard the bead curtain outside the door rustling, and soon I saw a man walking in.
Wearing a five-clawed python robe, with a piece of clear purple jade inlaid on the belt, three thousand black hair was tied up high, perfectly presenting that exquisite face to the world.
Even though Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but look at him every day, his heart skipped a beat. This man is truly a monster, and even a glance at him seems like blasphemy.
Xiao Junxi walked up to her and said softly, "What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "I'm thinking of you."
She rarely spoke so straightforwardly, Xiao Junxi was stunned, "You girl-"
Xiao Junxi laughed, Xie Ruzhuo got back the game and proudly handed over the teacup in his hand.
Seeing how cute and charming she was, Xiao Junxi was helpless and at the same time, her eyes were full of doting.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Xiao Junxi finally remembered the business, with a look of solemnity on her face, and said attentively, "The identity of that nanny has been found out."
Xie Ruzhuo hadn't reacted before, so he was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"
"My mother was the maid in charge of the palace before her death. She made some mistakes and was demoted to Ye Ting. The time of death is consistent with the date Qi'er saw, and the cause of death is also consistent."
When Xiao Junxi said this, a cold light burst out from her eyes, "It's just that the reason why this nanny was killed by my imperial brother after so many years in Yeting has not yet been found out."
Xie Ruzhuo pondered for a moment and said comfortingly, "You don't have to worry too much, things will eventually come to light." But for some reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Seeing that she was starting to think again, Xiao Junxi held her hand and said, "Well, I just remember this and won't spend too much time on him. But I guess my good brother has no other thoughts. The harvest in the Jiangnan area last year was not good, but now that the spring harvest is here, the people have no seeds to go to the fields. Today, my father lost his temper in the Jinluan Palace and ordered a strict investigation of all those who knew and failed to report the matter."
At this point, Xiao Junxi sneered and said, "There was a fire in the front and back yards. He is very lucky."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately laughed, with a charming look on his face, "This is good news."
The couple looked at each other and saw cunning in each other's eyes.
Not a family, don't enter the same door.
"Can you say that again!"
In the courtyard, a woman's sharp voice sounded, her face full of disbelief.
The man in front of her had a look of helplessness on his face, "Go back to my concubine, I'm afraid I won't be able to save this child."
Hearing this again, Shen Jingci couldn't help but take a step back, fell down on the chair, and murmured, "Impossible!" She raised her head again, stared at the doctor You Fang in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say before that there is nothing wrong with the child? Why can't you save it!"
The doctor frowned and said, "I have told you before that the concubine should calm down and not get excited. But your mood has been ups and downs too much in the past few days, and the child has also been affected-"
His words stopped short, but Shen Jingci's face turned pale again and again. Yes, these days, because of Murong Wan's entrance and making things difficult for her, she got angry a lot.
But how can you blame her! It's all that Murong Wan who deceived people too much!
Shi Mo reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Do you dare to ask the doctor if there is any way to save him? You also know that this child is very important to my master!"
The doctor smoothed his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "It's not that there's nothing we can do. Anyway, I'll give the concubine a prescription later. Just remember, don't be so angry again in the future, and you have to be careful with your diet, otherwise If so, not even Daluo Jinxian can save this child!"
Hearing this, Shen Jingci's expression softened a little, and Shi Mo on the side also thanked him profusely, "Thank you, doctor."
At this moment, Liu Ying came in from outside and said arrogantly, "The princess has an order, and the concubine is sent to serve the meal."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci's originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy, and she said firmly, "The Concubine is not feeling well today. Go back and tell the Princess that I will go another day."
Liu Ying glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Is the concubine feeling unwell, or is she unwilling to go? If it's the former, I'll pay it forward, but not the latter!"
Shen Jingci was angered by her words and was about to get angry when she suddenly saw the doctor on the side winking at her, signaling her to calm down.
Shen Jingci took a deep breath, snorted and said, "I'll be there later, you go first."
"Concubine, please hurry up and don't keep the princess waiting. After all, the prince is also dining with the princess."
After Liu Ying said this arrogantly, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, making Shen Jingci furious.
Shi Mo on the side quickly comforted him, "Master, don't get angry with such a villain. If you get angry, your health will be bad."
After she reminded her like this, Shen Jingci calmed down, but her face was filled with gloom as she cursed, "A servant dares to be so arrogant with me. Sooner or later, I want them to look good!"
But after all, Shen Jingci also knew that she had to go to Murong Wan's place. Not to mention that before Murong Wan came in, Xiao Junhan had already told her to respect Murong Wan and not to cause trouble. Not to mention that Xiao Junhan's whole heart is now devoted to Murong Wan. If Shen Jingci doesn't know better, she will lose Xiao Junhan's heart.
Seeing her like this, Shi Mo sent the doctor away obediently. When he came back, he persuaded in a low voice, "Master, if you keep the green hills here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Now you have to take good care of yourself. After all, the child in your belly is the only one who cares. You are the most important.”
Shen Jingci also knew what she said, but she was unwilling to do so. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's pack up and go to the main courtyard. If we get there too late, something might happen to that bitch."
Shen Jingci hurried away with Shi Mo. Before she entered the door, she heard a burst of laughter inside. She stood at the door and took a deep breath before walking in.
Murong Wan was pestering Xiao Junhan to play the flute for her, her words were full of coquettishness, "If the prince doesn't rely on me, I will cry for you."
Her eyebrows and eyes were full of the mood of a young daughter, and as the two were newly married, Xiao Junhan was passionate about her, so he immediately took her in his arms and said frivolously, "Is it possible that Wan'er is crying?" Is it still less?”
When Xiao Junhan spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, coupled with the provocative look in his eyes, it was hard not to turn around.
