So he took Shen Jingci back now just to see how the baby in her belly was doing.
However, Murong Wan didn't think so. Seeing Xiao Junhan hugging Shen Jingci and leaving, Murong Wan's eyes almost burst into flames. The next moment, she pointed at the maids who were being slapped, and said in a sharp voice, "Give it to me." Beat him to death!"
Didn’t he say that he couldn’t clean up the backyard? Then he would do it for him!
At night, Shen Jingci woke up.
Xiao Junhan had invited the imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse in the afternoon, and the result was exactly the same as the doctor's.
The child cannot be saved.
Although the child is still in Shen Jingci's body, the symptoms of miscarriage are too obvious, and he is afraid that he will bleed heavily in less than three days.
After learning the result, Xiao Junhan was a little disappointed with Shen Jingci, and then went to the study alone.
So when Shen Jingci woke up, Shi Mo was the only one left beside her.
Seeing her waking up, Shi Mo was happy at first, and then a little sad.
How could she hide this expression from Shen Jingci
Not long after, Shi Mo told Shen Jingci the news that the maids were beaten to death, and then said cautiously, "Master, are you too impulsive today? Even if the child cannot be saved, you can You are still young after all, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why bother doing this to yourself? In the end, the prince will think you are ignorant."
Shi Mo had stayed by Shen Jingci's side for a long time, so Shen Jingci could still listen to her words.
She regained her consciousness now, and was broken into a cold sweat by her madness in the afternoon.
After a long time, she murmured, "You go out first, I want to be alone."
After the silence returned to the room, a vicious expression appeared on Shen Jingci's face.
Now that Murong Wan is in power, if she wants to defeat Murong Wan, she needs to get Xiao Junhan's heart back first! As for how to get it—
"Your Majesty, I did something wrong in the afternoon, and now I come to apologize."
In the study room, Shen Jingci was still dressed in a weak outfit. When she looked at Xiao Junhan, she felt a little more self-blame.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Junhan sighed, helped her up, and said, "Now you know you were wrong?"
Knowing this result, Xiao Junhan had already had many thoughts in the afternoon. Since this child can't be kept, he has to hurry up and get someone else pregnant!
It's just that Shen Jingci is his powerful chess piece after all, so seeing her being so low-key and petty, Xiao Junhan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was still reproachful, she could also hear a sense of helplessness.
He has a good sense of proportion.
As expected, Xiao Junhan immediately saw Shen Jingci's somewhat confused face, "Well, I know I was wrong."
"That's good."
Xiao Junhan held her hand and said slowly, "Since you know you are wrong, you should take good care of yourself. In the final analysis, your current foundation is not good, and you were poisoned in the first place, which is the root cause of your failure to save your child."
This afternoon, Xiao Junhan locked himself in the study room and hatched a plan in his mind.
I just don't know if Shen Jingci can think about it together with me.
Hearing this, a flash of resentment suddenly flashed in Shen Jingci's eyes.
That's right, although it was because she was angry with Murong Wan, in the final analysis, it was still because of the poison Xie Ruzhuo had put on her back then!
If not, why couldn't she keep the child
Thinking of this, the haze in Shen Jingci's eyes deepened.
At this moment, Xiao Junhan sighed slightly.
Shen Jingci was thinking when she suddenly heard him sigh and subconsciously asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you? When I came in just now, I saw you looking a little sad."
Xiao Junhan forced a smile and said, "Nothing, just have a good rest. I still have some things to deal with."
Seeing that he had issued an order to expel guests, Shen Jingci felt suspicious and could only nod her head and walked out.
But she still kept an eye on it. After she could get out, she called Xiao Junhan's personal bodyguard over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the prince?"
Looking back now, when she and Murong Wan were arguing at noon, Xiao Junhan came back. But he never showed up. It wasn't until she and Murong Wan clashed again in the afternoon that Xiao Junhan showed up.
Could it be that something really happened to him
Hearing Shen Jingci's question, the guard was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the study and couldn't help but said, "When I was in the study today, the emperor called the prince over and gave him a scolding. It is said that it was because he respected the king."
"Please tell me carefully what's going on."
Shen Jingci was stunned and subconsciously felt that there was something going on here.
Facts have proved that Shen Jingci's guess was indeed good.
Nowadays, there is a big reshuffle in the court. Xiao Junxi frequently suppresses Xiao Junhan. In addition, he has a lot of little tails in the past. One by one, these incidents, when connected together, make Emperor Jing even more dissatisfied with him. The accumulation has reached a critical point.
After the morning meeting today, Emperor Jing called Xiao Junhan to the Imperial Study Room and gave him a scolding. Xiao Junxi on the side had a sarcastic look in his eyes from beginning to end, which made Xiao Junhan feel like a thorn had been stabbed in his heart.
This is not the most important thing.
Now that Xie Huainan has not come back, people in the court are fawning over him one after another. It is conceivable that after he comes back, the Xie family's popularity will definitely be even greater!
The stronger the Xie family's power, the greater their help to Xiao Junxi. This is definitely not good news for Xiao Junhan.
But now facing this situation, Xiao Junhan could only sulk and be helpless.
After hearing this, Shen Jingci's eyes flickered, and she said after a while, "I understand, you can go back and guard the prince."
When the guard heard this, he lowered his head and said respectfully, "I understand."
It wasn't until Shen Jingci's figure disappeared that the guard calmed down and walked into the study room and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is gone. If you want to pass on the message, the servant has also arrived."
Xiao Junhan nodded noncommittally and said, "Go out."
He was the only one left in the room for a moment.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the emotions on his face more and more with an indistinguishable expression.
On the fifteenth day, as usual, it is the day to enter the palace to pay respects.
Xiao Junxi has been so busy lately that he often comes back late at night when Xie Ruzhuo is fast asleep. When Xie Ruzhuo wakes up in the morning, there is no one around him.
The same is true today.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt that the mattress beside her had become cold. Only the breath from Xiao Junxi's body proved that he had slept there last night.
Xie Ruzhuo felt a little disappointed and touched the mattress in a daze for a while. Qianbi and Jiangzhu outside had noticed her waking up and came over to hang up the tent and help her get up.
By the time we finished our breakfast and entered the palace, it was already bright.
Fortunately, Concubine Ye was not picky. When she saw her bringing Xiao Xinqi, she happily excused herself from the ceremony, and then asked about Xiao Xinqi's situation at her home.
Xiao Xinqi was a little timid towards Concubine Ye, and she didn't even dare to show off her pride just standing next to Xie Ruzhuo.
Concubine Ye, on the other hand, smiled kindly and said, "I think the Eighth Princess has put on some weight recently, and Zhuo'er is really taking care of her very well."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled quickly and said, "The mother-in-law is joking. I never take care of children for fear of wronging her."
Just as Concubine Ye was about to say something, she heard a palace attendant coming in from outside the door and saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, King Qi's concubine is here."
Concubine Ye's face darkened slightly and she said calmly, "Let her come in."
Shen Jingci was the only one who came.
She was wearing a peach-pink palace dress today, but instead of reflecting her appearance well, the color made her look a little pale, as if she was ill.
Concubine Ye only glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't Princess Qi come today?"
Shen Jingci coughed slightly and forced a smile and said, "Sister is not feeling well, so I asked my daughter-in-law to come and pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
Concubine Ye looked at her appearance, and she didn't know there was something fishy inside. She just didn't know, "I don't think your face looks good, but you are sick? You are pregnant with a child, so you should be more careful."
After hearing this, Shen Jingci smiled hurriedly and said, "Thank you, concubine, my daughter-in-law will pay attention to it. However, the imperial doctor just checked and said that although my daughter-in-law is a little weak, the child is blessed and very healthy."
"That's good."
Concubine Ye just nodded casually and changed the topic to something else.
Xie Ruzhuo on the side looked at Shen Jingci calmly.
She just said, is the child healthy
But this was not what he had clearly ordered to convey to Shen Jingci.
Hehe, this Shen Jingci must have thought of another plan to trick people.
As soon as this idea came into her mind, she saw Shen Jingci walking up to her and smiling softly, "I heard that the flowers in the Royal Garden are blooming very well. I wonder if the princess is interested in enjoying the flowers?"
Xie Ruzhuo glanced at her and was about to refuse when Concubine Ye spoke first, "You don't have to accompany me anymore. The flowers in the Royal Garden are blooming well. You might as well go for a walk when you have nothing to do."
When Concubine Ye said this, she patted her forehead again and said with a smile, "Look at my memory. To go to the Royal Garden, you have to pass by Jin Jieyu's place. Zhuo'er, you can send something for me by the way."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo responded with a smile, and asked, "Mother-in-law, I wonder if my daughter-in-law will send you something for you, will there be any benefit?"
When she spoke, she had a cute look on her face. Concubine Ye looked at her with love and pity. She smiled and scolded, "You can't afford to suffer. Go and bring the blood swallows that I got the day before yesterday to Princess Jing. This is What’s good about her.”
This blood swallow was originally left to Xie Ruzhuo by Concubine Ye Guifei, but now she is happy to give it to her.
Xie Ruzhuo was so busy that he smiled and waved his hands and said, "My daughter-in-law is just joking, but I don't dare to take it seriously. Otherwise, I won't be able to enter your palace the next day."
Concubine Ye pointed at her with a smile and said, "Did you see it? What does it mean to be good at being cheap? You all should learn from Princess Jing. She is a good person."
Everyone in the palace laughed after saying a few words.
Although Shen Jingci also laughed with her, there was an indiscernible expression on her face.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't want to but looked at her at this moment and said with a half-smile, "I'm going to help my mother and concubine deliver things, so I won't go to the imperial garden. The concubine should go by herself, but although this flower is beautiful, it has thorns." .The concubine should also be careful."
Xie Ruzhuo's words meant something. Shen Jingci's expression suddenly changed, and she replied with a smile, "Thanks for reminding me."
After Shen Jingci left the palace, Concubine Ye waved her hands and said, "Go ahead Zhuo'er. If you have nothing to do, just sit at Jin Jieyu's place for a while."
Xie Ruzhuo knew that Concubine Ye was reminding him in disguise.
After all, when a woman looks at a woman, she knows exactly what she is looking at.
