Considering the swords and swords that the Zhaohui Mansion might face, in order to avoid involving minors, Yuan Chun said to Jia's mother: "When the old lady goes back, bring Sister Dai back too!" In the next few months or a year, I have to raise the baby with peace of mind, and I don't have time to teach her. Let Sister Dai be with her sisters at home, one is to avoid her loneliness, and the other is to let her and her sisters learn some housekeeping, financial management, socializing and other homework. Sister Dai is ten years old, and these homework can't be delayed. ”

After Yuan Chun married into the Zhaohui Palace, he also regularly took his younger sisters such as Ying, Tan, and Xi to play, and instructed them in their homework by the way.

Later, Shui Xiao was suppressed by Emperor Longzheng and dismissed from all ministries, and Yuan Chun planned to open a medical hall to earn merit, so he handed over all these children to Wang Xifeng and Li Kun, and only took Daiyu with him to learn medical skills.

Jia Mu didn't doubt it, and said with a smile: "This is how it should be!" Dai Shan's previous words were specifically avoided and explained to Yuan Chun alone, but Jia Mu didn't hear it.

Yuan Chun asked someone to inform Daiyu and help Daiyu pack her luggage.

Daiyu was very reluctant, and said to Yuanchun with tears in her eyes: "The princess will let Daiyu stay here!" The princess is pregnant, Daiyu naturally doesn't dare to disturb, if she can ask Sister Feiying for advice every day, she can also make some progress. Besides, the princess is pregnant, it is when everything is complicated, although Daiyu is not talented, it is always successful. Please also ask the princess to keep Daiyu! ”

Yuan Chun sighed: Daiyu is a true scholar, but she also really loves to cry. In the words of a more popular sentence in her previous life: the tear point is relatively low!

She had to comfort Daiyu: "I asked you to go back to Jiafu with the old lady, but I wasn't afraid of being disturbed by you." The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were able to see people when they were pregnant with those nephews and nieces, so can't I see people? She looked at Daiyu with a sincere face, held her hand and said, "I asked you to go back to Jiafu, but I have important things to support." I'm pregnant with a baby now, so I can't go out. After you go to Jiafu, help me take care of the body of the Jia family, don't worry me, this is a great favor for me. ”

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and the frustration and humiliation of being disliked and expelled in her heart dissipated, and a sense of joy and responsibility of being valued and entrusted spontaneously arose. "Really?" She asked, a little apprehensively, a little unconfidently.

Yuan Chun looked at her with great sincerity: "Naturally, it's true!" ”

It's true! If the elders of the Jia family have a physical problem, or someone is plotting against her, she must go back to the Jia family for diagnosis and treatment, it is not uncommon for something to go wrong on the road. After all, the palace is heavily defended, and it is much more convenient to start on the road. For example, getting a few strings of firecrackers to create a horse stunting incident couldn't be easier!

"So, after you go back to Jia's house, in addition to being with your sisters, every one or two days, you will help me check the pulse of my grandfather, old lady, master, wife, brother and sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. If it is not appropriate, try to treat it immediately; If you can't cure it, send me a letter and let me deal with it. Don't believe the nonsense that 'the princess is pregnant with a child, don't disturb her'! Think about it, if a minor illness is dragged into a major illness, and even someone has an accident, I will be grieved, and it will be even worse for the fetus. You have been studying medicine for so long, you understand, right? ”

Daiyu nodded solemnly: "Daiyu understands!" Daiyu will take care of her family! The princess should also take care of her health, and don't let her grandfather and grandmother worry about them. ”

"I will!" Yuan Chun said with a smile. She wiped a handful of sweat in her heart: It's okay! No matter how smart Daiyu is, she is still just a little Lori, which is easier to deceive.

She glanced at Dai Shan again. Dai Shan understood and nodded at her: Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on the situation at home.

Daiyu returned to Jia's house with Jia's mother.

Yuanchun began to raise the baby with peace of mind. Because of the emperor's will, she didn't have to go to the palace regularly to check the pulse, and Yuanchun's medical hall had to be suspended. The first is to avoid being criticized for inviting her to be proud, and the second is to be afraid that someone will take advantage of the loophole in the hospital and harm the child in her belly.

What makes her happier is that her body is well adapted to the various changes in pregnancy, except for some tiredness, lethargy, and sometimes a little nausea, there is no severe morning sickness.

And she is more glad that with the improvement of glass production technology and the increase of output, glass greenhouses are more and more used in this era. In recent years, in addition to the previous flower room and a vegetable room, Zhaohui Wangfu has built two new glass conservatories for growing fresh vegetables. Therefore, although it is autumn and winter, the green vegetables of Zhaohui Wangfu have not been broken, and Yuanchun has enough resources to supplement vitamins and folic acid. As for nuts such as walnuts and peanuts, they are in abundant supply.

The days of staying at home to raise a baby are a bit boring. Fortunately, Shui Xiao is also quite idle now, accompanying her in the house all day long, chatting, playing chess, fishing, walking, sometimes tasting Shui Xiao's flute, sometimes listening to the new music composed by Ming Se, and the days go by quickly.

On this day, when Yuan Chun and Shui Xiao were having breakfast, Ming Se suddenly came in and reported: "Lord, princess, something is wrong with Heng'an!" ”

Shui Xiao is giving Yuanchun vegetables! Hearing this, the chopsticks in his hand paused: "Heng'an? Shui Xiao was a little suspicious in his heart, wasn't he the person he thought?

"What's wrong with him?" He asked Minse.

Yuan Chun also looked at Ming Se curiously.

Blessing, longevity, Hengkang, and Hengan are the personal companions of Shui Xiao, and there is no shortage of ability and loyalty, and they are very trusted and valued by Shui Xiao. What happened to Hengan?

Ming Se bowed and said, "Wasn't it Heng'an's mother's birthday yesterday?" The prince granted him leave, and when he went back to celebrate his birthday, he was ghostly, and he didn't say anything when he asked him what happened. I was afraid that something happened to him, and it would affect the prince and the princess, so I quietly asked people to go to his house last night to check. It turned out that his father was the only one in his family, and he also looked like he was not giving up. It is said that the day before yesterday, Heng'an's mother's relatives came, and somehow they had a big quarrel with his father, and Heng'an and his mother took Heng'an's younger siblings back to their parents' house overnight, and yesterday's birthday banquet was yellow! ”

Yuan Chun glanced at Shui Xiao and thought: Just this ...... I don't think there's anything wrong with it! Is there something hidden that I don't know?

"What else is the news? You definitely won't just rely on this to say that something is wrong with Heng'an! Shui Xiao asked Mingse with a frown.

Ming Se thought for a while before he said: "Heng Kang, who was in the same room as Heng An, whispered to me just now: Heng An brought back a bamboo box yesterday, and he always felt that there was a faint hint of Suo Suo's voice in the box, and he wanted to see what was in the box, but Heng An didn't allow it. Also, Hengan had a nightmare last night! Hengkang said that Hengan has always been sleepy, and when he fell asleep, he was as heavy as a pig, that is, he had nightmares in Jiangnan and when he just came back from Jiangnan. Now he has nightmares again, and I don't know if there is something on his mind. ”

"Aware of Soso's voice?" Shui Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then his face turned dark, and he instructed Ming Se, "You take someone directly and search for what is hidden in his bamboo box, be careful when searching, I am afraid that there are poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and other living creatures in that box." In addition, the order is to go down, take down Hengan immediately, and tie him up to see me! The order was given, the gates were strictly guarded, and the entry and exit of people and goods were suspended. ”

Mingse's face changed greatly, he agreed, turned around and hurried away.

When Yuan Chun heard Shui Xiao say "poisonous snakes and poisonous insects", he already understood!

He is well versed in medical skills, and those who want to let themselves slip the fetus must not be so indiscriminately axe, poison and drug themselves to come to them. But if it's a poisonous snake and poisonous insect...... It's hard to say what the outcome will be!

She thought of the Cao Kite who went to Jiangnan with her for disaster relief, but was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the middle of the road. Some poisonous snakes are too violent, and in the absence of antivenom, there is no way to detoxify themselves! Even if you are not bitten by a snake, even if you are just startled by a snake and slip, it is still a very dangerous thing for your current self.

Shui Xiao took a deep breath and said to Yuan Chun: "You stay here, don't go anywhere for the time being!" I'll see how it goes. ”

Yuan Chun nodded: "You should be careful!" If there are really poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, don't come close, let's think long-term. ”

Shui Xiao responded, and then instructed Qiu Ningshuang and the others: "Take good care of the princess, except for a few of you, don't let anyone get close to the main house, even the maid and wife in the house." In particular, be careful not to get any poisonous snakes and poisonous insects near the princess. ”

Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Let Qin Zhen and Ah Wu go with you!" It's enough for me to have Autumn Frost and Ah Zhen by my side...... Don't fight with me! I have a lot of people here, and Hengan may not be able to get to me, you have to take someone to search for him, which is the most dangerous. I can't solve some snake venom, don't let the child be born without a father! I didn't save Cao Kite back then! ”

Shui Xiao sighed, stopped arguing, and took Qin Zhen and Ah Wu out of the main room together, but did not go to the outer courtyard, but went directly to Pu Xiuyuan.

Watching Shui Xiao leave, Yuan Chun paced around in the main room, a little uneasy.

She was a little glad that it was late autumn now, and even if the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects were smuggled into the house, even if they had not yet fallen into hibernation, their activity would be inhibited due to the weather, and she hoped that nothing would happen to Shui Xiao!

As she paced, she kept an eye on the chiming clock in the main room and watched the time.

About half an hour later, Minse hurried to report: "The prince asked the servants to come and say hello!" Hengan has already taken it, and the box has also been detained. The prince is judging Heng'an at this time, and he will come back in a while, so that the princess does not have to worry. ”

Yuan Chun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Is the prince injured?" ”

Minse smiled and said, "Please rest assured, princess! The prince is safe and sound, and no one else is injured! ”

"What's in that box? Is it really a poisonous snake and poisonous bug? After letting go of the worry, Yuan Chun's curiosity swelled.

Mingse said, "The box hasn't been opened yet!" Miss Ah Wu listened through the box, and said that I am afraid that it is indeed a poisonous snake, and there are no other living creatures who dare not say. The prince said that he was not busy opening it, and called for someone to carry a water tank, filled the tank with water, and sank the box in the water tank. The prince said: Drown the contents of the box first, and then slowly open it to see! ”

Drowned and then open it to see? Yuan Chun thought: This method is safer...... Although those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are very innocent, she always has more people in her heart, and she doesn't want anyone to be bitten to death by these poisonous snakes!

She waved her hand and let Minse go about her business.

In other cases, she is not in a hurry to ask Mingse, and when Shui Xiao finishes dealing with those things, she will tell her in detail about the whole matter!

When it was almost noon, a little girl guarding outside the main room called out excitedly: "The prince is back!" Then there was a sound of footsteps, and Shui Xiao walked into the main room.

Shui Xiao's face was a little heavy, and when he sat down next to Yuan Chun, he picked up Yuan Chun's tea cup, tried not to burn his mouth, and drank it all. Qiu Ningshuang, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly picked up the teapot and filled it again, and Shui Xiao drank it all again.

He drank two cups of tea in a row before he let out a long breath and sat down on the couch.

Yuan Chun asked Qiu Ningshuang and the others to step back and asked Shui Xiao: "How did you catch Heng'an?" ”

Shui Xiao said: "I came out of the main house and went directly to Puxiu Garden. One Mingse went to the outer court, and he would deal with the affairs there; Second, Hengan wants to harm you, and it is most convenient and likely to succeed in Park Xiuyuan. There are a lot of plants and trees, and now they are not completely withered, and the garden is also a "change of scenery", and the terrain will be deliberately made very complicated, which is conducive to Heng'an's hiding. Nowadays, we often walk around the garden, and every day after dinner, we will go for a walk in the garden, which is more conducive to him. There is also a flower room there, which is warmer, and we often go to the flower room to see the flowers, and put poisonous snakes in the flower room, which is more likely to succeed......"

"And then? I was watching the time from the time you left the main room, and when Ming Se came to report that Hengan was caught, the time was only half an hour. How did you catch him so quickly? Yuan Chun asked with a smile.

Shui Xiao caught Heng An so quickly, which made her feel that Shui Xiao seemed to be prepared for today's events, maybe that Heng An actually got into the trap set by Shui Xiao.

Shui Xiao held Yuan Chun's hand sideways, thinking about today's events, his face was a little complicated: "I just speculated: If I were Heng'an, how would I blend into Pu Xiuyuan, and how could I achieve my goal?" The corner gate to the west of Park Xiuyuan has been locked since you were pregnant, and there is no one there to guard it. This is a convenient passage reserved for me for the inner ghost. Hengan is my confidant and the steward of the house, and he must know that it is easiest to sneak into Park Xiuyuan from there.

"And after coming in through that door, I arranged for two secret sentinels, which were supposed to be for the Assassins. But Hengan knew the location of the dark whistles, and he would avoid these two secret whistles, so if he wanted to sneak in more covertly and sneak into the flower house, there were not many paths he could choose...... After checking the situation in all aspects, I searched along the route he might take, and I happened to see him. The box had been opened just now, and there were indeed a few poisonous snakes in the box. Hengan also explained everything. ”

Yuan Chun observed Shui Xiao's face and asked him softly: "Heng'an betrayed the master, are you sad?" ”

"yes!" Shui Xiao sighed and shook her hand tightly, "Hengan has been with me for eleven years. In the second year after I left the palace and opened the palace, he came to me. I used to say that I wanted to get them a good background, but now it's impossible! ”

"Heng'an ......" Yuan Chun asked cautiously, "why did he betray you?" ”

"Because his family has been caught and hidden by those bad guys!" Shui Xiao's face sighed again, "The day before yesterday, that group of people kidnapped Heng'an's uncle, pretended to be his uncle's business partner and long-term follower, and lived in Heng'an's house, saying that they wanted to celebrate Heng'an's mother's birthday. Later, the gang kidnapped Heng'an's mother and younger siblings, leaving only Heng'an's father at home to deal with relatives and friends who came to celebrate his birthday, and leaving two more people to monitor his father......"

According to Heng'an's confession: Yesterday he went home to celebrate his birthday, and one of the two robbers who stayed at his house took him to a private house in the west of the city. He met his big sister there, but there was only his big sister there! His mother, another sister, and two younger brothers are missing. The men threatened Heng An that his mother and other siblings had been hidden in different places, and that it was impossible for him to save people. If Hengan didn't listen to them, they would kill all the family members who Hengan had been kidnapped, and let them die a miserable death.

Hengan had no choice but to obey the orders of those people and bring a box of poisonous snakes to murder Yuan Chun and Shui Xiao.

"Now, I have asked people to go to Heng'an's house and the house he went to to see if I can catch that group of people and torture where Heng'an's family is hidden. If we can help Hengan rescue his family, it can be regarded as fulfilling the love of our master and servant. Shui Xiao's voice was very melancholy.

Yuan Chun listened to the whole story, and his mood was also a little depressed.

Hengan betrayed his master for his family, which is a very normal choice under the "loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve". From an objective standpoint, she can't say that Hengan is ungrateful and wolf-hearted; But as the betrayed party, the feeling in her heart is really uncomfortable. And Shui Xiao and Hengan have been in a master-servant relationship for eleven years, but I am afraid that my heart will be even more uncomfortable!

She could only hold Shui Xiao's hand and convey a little comfort to him.

After a long while, Shui Xiao said: "This matter, in terms of style, is simple, rough and direct, like the handwriting of Prince Yizhong; However, in terms of specific planning and arrangement, it is very meticulous and meticulous, which has a little bit of the characteristics of King Xiaogong. There are two possibilities, one is that King Yizhong and King Xiaogong are joining forces; Another possibility is that the cronies of King Xiaogong who were placed in King Yizhong gave Prince Yizhong a lot of ideas. Either way, it means one thing: in the murder of our children, they have the same interests and the same goals, and they are already considered to be united. We have to deal with both of them. But that's not the ...... that worries me the most."

Yuan Chun listened to his analysis in silence, and already thought of what Shui Xiao was most worried about.

"What worries me the most is: I knew a little bit about the snake dealer in advance, and I didn't know anything about other news! This shows that my intelligence advantage is weakening! In other words: they've probably found a way to deal with my eyeliner! From now on, maybe there will be more and more of this! ”

After being married for so many years, Yuan Chun already knew why Shui Xiao was so well-informed - he used his yin and yang eyes to entrap some ghosts to spy on him for information. These ghosts are everywhere, so Shui Xiao can spy on a lot of secret information. But these ghosts have a huge weakness: they can only act at night. During the day, these ghosts must hide in the extreme shade of the sun to avoid being burned by the sun. Where there is the power to ward off evil spirits and drive away demons, they cannot go.

Yuan Chun mourned for three seconds for those pervasive ghost eyeliner in Shui Xiao! What a good gold finger! I'm afraid it will be even more discounted in the future.

The ghost eyeliner that Shui Xiao put in the palace had failed a few years ago. The reason is that Emperor Longzheng secretly found two Maoshan Taoist priests, and set up a formation to suppress evil and subdue demons in several important palaces in the palace, and he also wore things to ward off evil spirits, and those ghosts in Shui Xiao did not dare to approach the emperor and those important palaces at all.

Shui Xiao was silent for a while, and then laughed again: "But they have only found a way to deal with my eyeliner until now, and they are dull enough!" I would have thought that King Yizhong would have noticed it two years ago when he was making trouble at the printing office and I sabotaged it one after another. I didn't expect it to drag on until now, and he found a way to deal with me! And Prince Yizhong has found a way to deal with me, presumably King Xiaogong has already found out, no wonder I haven't heard any valuable news in the palace of King Xiaogong in the past two years. ”

He stretched his waist and said lazily: "In the future, let's rely on our abilities and compete fairly!" ”

As soon as Yuan Chun and Shui Xiao had lunch, Ming Se sent someone to report: "Lord Wang, the people who went to Heng'an's house and the house in the west of the city have returned. The gangster in Heng'an's family resisted stubbornly and was killed, and Heng'an's father was rescued. The houses in the west of the city have long been empty, and those gangsters and Heng'an's sister have disappeared. The clues have all been interrupted, please show the prince: what to do next? ”

Shui Xiao's face was pale: "What did Hengan say?" ”

"Hengan kept kowtowing to me, saying that he knew that he had betrayed his master and that his sin was unforgivable. But please see that for the sake of his dedication and slackness for so many years, help him find his family and rescue his family, he will never complain even if he has cut a thousand knives. Ming Se relayed Heng'an's words without emotion.

"Does he know that there is little hope of rescuing his family?"

Minse bowed: "That's what the minions told him too." But Hengan refuses to give up! ”

Shui Xiao thought for a while and said, "You tell Heng'an: If he pleads with this king before entering the garden with a poisonous snake, this king will do his best to save his family, and even if he fails in the end, he will avenge him." But since he had already entered the garden with a poisonous snake and wanted to use it to murder the king and the princess, could it be that he still wanted the king to forgive him regardless of his previous suspicions? He has done such a deceitful thing, and this king will never spare him, otherwise he will no longer have to govern the family, and the servants will be exhausted. Going to his house to help save people before was considered benevolent and righteous. Is he still trying to make an inch? ”

For Heng'an's disposal, Shui Xiao must take into account two aspects: he can't let the people in the house chill, but he can't condone the disloyalty of these minions! And Hengan is no longer available, there is no need to expose his strength for him.

"Send Hengan and the box of poisonous snakes to Shuntian Mansion! The murder of Heng'an's family and the kidnapping of his family were also reported, and Shuntianfu was asked to solve the case and save people. Shui Xiao's voice was cold, "You tell Heng'an again: whether his family can be saved or not depends on the ability of Shuntianfu and the creation of his family!" ”
