After sending Xiao Jiu to Zhou Yingyue's side for enlightenment, his eyebrows suddenly became idle, but he felt uncomfortable.

On weekdays, there is a child who is in front of and behind him, and he leaves suddenly, and his heart is empty, and he always feels that something is missing. Several times she subconsciously raised her head while doing things, and opened her mouth to call Xiao Jiu, asking the girls to remind her, so that she would remember that Xiao Jiu went to class.

"The master can't do this, it's better to find something to do." Cloud Road. Now that Meibian is the princess, she is naturally the housekeeper of the inner house, and she assists Meibian in taking care of everything inside and outside the Fuwang Mansion. Her original temper was straightforward and fast-talking, and she has become more and more powerful in the past few years, and her temperament has become much calmer, and now the people in the palace are shocked and afraid of her.

Only in front of her eyebrows, she can vaguely see a little shadow of when she was not married.

Meibian said, "I'm already in charge of the house, I take the time to make some female celebrities, and I have done all the reading and calligraphy, but I still feel that there is something missing in my heart, and I can't lift my energy." ”

"Master, don't blame me for speaking straight, in the past two years, your mind has been on Xiao Shizi, I'm afraid you haven't cared about the prince for a long time, right?" Xingyun said, "If the prince doesn't say it once or twice, does the master plan to go on like this forever?" ”

After thinking about it, it was really like this.

Obviously, at the very beginning, she left the capital with her child, she would rather give the child to her grandmother and mother, but also rush back to be with Yuan Ziqing, at that time, in her heart, Yuan Ziqing's weight was far greater than Xiao Jiu's. But I don't know when it started, her daily life began to revolve around Xiao Jiu.

-- When I opened my eyes in the morning, I was worried that he would wake up and whether he was hungry, and until I closed my eyes and went to sleep at night, I still had half of my heart in mind, as if I was ready to wake up and take care of him.

Not only Meibian himself, but also Yuan Ziqing, why is this not the case? In the past, after he returned home, it was a rare leisure time, and the husband and wife got together to talk and get close. Now it's a child, a child, a child......

After all, people's energy is limited, and if you take care of this, you naturally can't take care of that. After a long time, although they are the closest couples, they inevitably neglect each other. For example, at this moment, I don't know what Yuan Ziqing has been busy with recently. He used to talk about this to Meibian, but now he ...... How can there be kung fu?

Only then did he come to his senses, "Yes, I put too much thought on Xiao Jiu." No wonder I always feel uncomfortable when I leave him. That's not quite right. ”

In fact, this is not to blame, after all, the child is still young, and it is common sense to care more. But one person's mind is completely on another person, and after a long time, bias will naturally arise. Besides, Xiao Jiu will always grow up, and she will get farther and farther away from her, if she keeps doing this, sooner or later she will be psychologically unbalanced and other problems will arise.

Fortunately, Xingyun saw through it early and pointed it out.

He took her hand from his eyebrows, "Thanks to you for reminding me." ”

Xingyun shook his head, "It's good that the master knows it." Even if I don't warn, you'll be able to think of it sooner or later. ”

Meibian thought about it for a while, and made up his mind to turn his attention to other places more, and also give a part to Yuan Ziqing. After thinking about her own business, when she saw Xingyun, she couldn't help but ask her, "What about you?" You're a little older than me, and you still don't have any children of your own. When I think about it, I feel ashamed of you. If it weren't for helping me, it wouldn't have been delayed. But now that Xiao Jiu is older, the affairs of the palace have been straightened out, and you should plan for yourself. Otherwise, after a long time, won't the stone feel left out? ”

Xingyun said, "Where does he dare to be dissatisfied?" ”

"That's not the case, you are husband and wife, it's not right for me to snub the prince, is it right for you to snub the stone? Besides, children are both of you's business. Isn't it good to be planning to get up now? Eyebrows said.

Xingyun thought about it, and then nodded.

Meibian drove her back, "In this case, I don't need you to serve here, you see that there is nothing wrong, just go back." ”

After sending Xingyun away, he pondered that he wanted to do something for Yuan Ziqing, but he couldn't do it well for a while to make personal things, and finally decided to tidy up the study for him. - Because there are a lot of personal things, Yuan Ziqing doesn't want to be cleaned up by others on weekdays, and he tidies up when he has time. But the court has been very busy lately, so I don't think I have the heart to do this.

Although the Fuwang Mansion had been copied, the really important things were hidden in advance, and they were copied, and later the new emperor also sent them back intact on the grounds of subsidizing the Fuwang Mansion. Although there are some things missing, the big ones are still there.

So the layout of the study is similar to before, except that the box used to hold the painting scroll has been replaced - the one used to be full, and most of the paintings now are portraits of Xiao Jiu, and it is normal to pack them separately.

After looking at his eyebrows, he began to move. In fact, there is not much to tidy up in the study, so the movement of the eyebrows is very fast. It didn't take long to clean it up, and all I had to do was put the books back on the shelves.

Yuan Ziqing's bookshelves are categorized, and it is easy to find a pattern and put the books back. But when it was the last few books, I realized that there was already a set in the shelf. She took the book down with some curiosity. However, when I opened it, I realized that it was just an empty shell, and it was not a book, but something else.

A tiny tin box.

What's inside?

As for whether to open it and take a look, I can't make up my mind about it.

In fact, Yuanziqing has something hidden, and she doesn't care. After all, even husband and wife should have their own little secrets. But as soon as he came to the eyebrows, he was just reminded by Xingyun that if he was negligent for too long, it would be easy to estrangement from Yuan Ziqing. Second...... If she didn't know, it would be fine, now that the thing is already in front of her, it is really curious, if she doesn't open it to see, she is really unwilling.

So she hesitated for a moment, but decided to open it and take a look, as long as she didn't mention it to Yuan Ziqing, he wouldn't know that he had seen it.

Maybe it's because the box is hidden enough that it doesn't have a lock, and it opens very lightly.

There are three small porcelain vases side by side. And there is a faint smell of medicine. Presumably, what was in the porcelain bottle was supposed to be a prepared pill.

With a shake of his eyebrows, Yuan Ziqing was secretly taking medicine behind his back? !

Could it be that something is wrong with his body? As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the whole person around his eyebrows was frightened. Because the image of Yuan Ziqing's illness in the past is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he gets better later, it will still make people subconsciously feel that compared with ordinary people, his body will be weaker.

Now he is still secretly taking medicine, and he has not revealed half of the news behind his back, and it will never be a good thing to look at it. How can you not think about it?

She hesitated, quickly opened a porcelain bottle, and poured a pill out of it. The red balls, only the size of peas, have a strong medicinal smell, and it is impossible to tell what they are used for.

Mei quickly hid this pill in his purse, and then concocted it in the same way, and collected the other two pills. Finally, I put the porcelain vase and box back on, closed the book cover, and made it look like I had never touched these things.

When she left the study, her heart was still pounding, and she felt so nervous that she could barely breathe.

Since Yuan Ziqing hid this matter from her, he said that he was unwilling to let her know about it. Although Meibian knew that he was for his own good, he still inevitably felt a little resentful in his heart. - She didn't shrink down because of his illness before, but now she will? Why can't you just say it and face and solve it together?

Thinking like this, my eyebrows are feeling that it is difficult to calm down.

She slowed down, letting the thoughts in her head spin around until she slowly calmed down, and then walked back to the main room.

I found a bottle and put the medicine in it, and Meibian decided to take it out tomorrow and ask someone what the medicine was. Because of Yuan Ziqing's cover-up, she also subconsciously felt that this matter should be avoided from people, so no one said it, let alone let people know. I decided to dress up alone and go out to find a random medical hall pharmacy.

However, because of this incident, Meibian's heart was very difficult to rest, and he had been sitting in the room in a daze, and had all kinds of strange and terrible thoughts.

It wasn't until the maids came in to inform her that it was time to pick up the child from Zhou Yingyue that her eyebrows suddenly came back to her senses.

Xiao Jiu is still young, so the time for class every day is very limited, send it in the morning, study for a while, and then play with the twins for a while, and then you can pick it up. Because he can talk to Zhou Yingyue by the way, he has always picked up and dropped off in person.

When they arrived at the Changning Hou Mansion, the three children were squatting at the base of the courtyard wall, and they didn't know what they were playing. Zhou Yingyue turned her head to see her, raised her hand and wiped her sweat, "Coming?" Let them play a little longer. ”

"What is this doing?" Eyebrows asked.

Zhou Yingyue said, "Oh, there was a little bird that was injured and fell in the yard, and was picked up by them. Now they're going to bury it. ”

"What?!" The eyebrows were shocked, and subconsciously wanted to step forward and pull the child away, "How to ......"

"How do you play this for your child?" Zhou Yingyue said with a smile, "It's also a good thing to let them know that respecting life and caring for small animals." ”

After thinking about it, he still didn't refute it. After all, unless you don't send your child in the future, these things will still come into contact sooner or later. Although it is still difficult to understand the benefits of letting such a young child understand life and death.

The two stood in place and looked at the child for a while, Zhou Yingyue turned her head to look at her, and said thoughtfully, "Your face doesn't look very good." ”

"Huh?" Raising his hand and stroking his face, the words that he wanted to deny had already reached his mouth, but for some reason it became, "You can see it?" ”

Zhou Yingyue smiled slightly, "It's too obvious." ”

I couldn't help frowning. If even Zhou Yingyue can see it, how can he hide it from Yuan Ziqing?

"It's something." She couldn't help but sigh. However, no one can say anything about this matter for the time being, even if Zhou Yingyue knows about it, she will not say it casually, but at least she should find out the truth first. So he shook his head and stopped talking.

Zhou Yingyue said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." It's just that what big things in this world can make you worry about being like this? If you encounter something, you just need to solve it. ”

Why don't you know? So she also felt that if something happened to Yuan Ziqing's body, she should quickly tell her, contact Qu Kuan, or come to Zhou Yingyue to find out if there are any good medicinal materials, and then heal quickly, which is the right thing.

But Yuan Ziqing didn't do this, but took medicine secretly by himself, and didn't tell anyone, which means that the problem can't be solved like that.

But...... There is no need to use the curvature, and it should not be a terminal illness. This is also what makes Mei Bi a little reassured, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to wait to investigate, and she would have gone out of control to ask Yuan Ziqing the truth.

"I know what I know." She said to Zhou Yingyue.

Zhou Yingyue frowned, "Why do you force a smile at me?" I don't ask what it is, but when it's really useful, just ask. ”

Eyebrows nodded.

Although he didn't say anything, he was comforted by Zhou Yingyue a few words, and his mood finally improved a little.

waited until the three children finished burying the bird, and even set up a monument for it, and the next person took it to wash their hands and came back, and then said goodbye to Zhou Yingyue on the side of their eyebrows.

Xiao Jiu obviously had a little bit of joy, his face was excited, and he frequently looked at his two younger siblings, looking very reluctant. I didn't see it on my eyebrows, "Go back and talk to my grandmother and great-grandmother, and come back tomorrow to play with my younger brothers and sisters." ”

As a result, when she returned home, she was asked by Princess Fu and Concubine Fu what happened, and they also saw that her face was not good. I had to infer that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so my body was a little uncomfortable, and it would be fine after a while. Finally fooled the topic away.

However, this also made her realize that it was impossible to hide from Yuan Ziqing, and it seemed that she could only find a reasonable excuse.

After thinking about it, after returning to the Hidden Bamboo Garden, Meibian simply fell asleep on the bed, explaining that people don't have to wake up themselves for dinner.

Since he couldn't hide it, he simply went directly and generously to "feel unwell", Yuan Ziqing could only care about his condition and ask if he wanted to ask a doctor, and he would not suspect going to other places.

It worked. When Yuan Ziqing came back and heard that she was asleep and didn't even want to eat dinner, she couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Can you ask for a doctor?" ”

"The princess said that she just has no appetite, and it will be fine in two days, and there is no need to ask a doctor."

Yuan Ziqing went into the house to take a look. The eyebrows were actually awake - when such a thing happened, how could she possibly sleep when she was full of worries? But he kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, so Yuan Ziqing had to take the child to eat dinner by himself, freshen up and bathe, and then came back in.

Mei opened his eyes at this time, Yuan Ziqing inquired, and checked her pulse again, seeing that there was indeed nothing wrong, so he said, "If Ming'er is not good, please ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”

"Okay." The eyebrows obediently responded.

She looked at Yuan Ziqing carefully, and saw her feet from her head, but she couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with his body. After all, if you are sick, you should always be able to see it on your complexion.

I pondered this question all night, but I didn't figure it out. Yuan Ziqing didn't want to disturb her rest, so she went to the study first. I can't help but think about it, will he take the opportunity to take medicine? When I think about it, it's hard to calm down.

She didn't sleep well that night, and it wasn't until Yuan Ziqing came back from the study that she closed her eyes, but as soon as she fell asleep, all kinds of terrible dreams hit her, which made her wake up repeatedly. I didn't even dare to sleep in the back, so I simply kept my eyes open until dawn. Only when Yuan Ziqing woke up, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, and then pretended that he had just woken up.

Yuan Ziqing couldn't help frowning when she saw her face, "It looks worse than yesterday, and I will definitely remember to ask the imperial doctor later." ”

"It's not a big deal." His heart suddenly moved, "I'll go out and send Xiao Jiu to the Changning Marquis Mansion later, and when I come back, just find a doctor and take a look." If there is nothing to do, it will make people laugh. ”

"It's fine." Yuan Ziqing said, "Be careful yourself. ”

This time the matter of going out to see the doctor passed the bright road, and the eyebrows were relieved.

So after sending Xiao Jiu to the Changning Hou Mansion, she let the carriage turn around and find a place with a medical hall to stop.

First of all, he asked the doctor to take the pulse, but he only said that he didn't rest well, and he didn't even open the prescription. Then he lowered his eyebrows and took out the medicine he had put away yesterday, "Please take a look at it for me, what kind of medicine are these?" ”

The doctor is experienced, even if it is a finished medicine, as long as you smell it, scrape off a little foam to taste the taste, you can guess most of the herbs used. Knowing the herbs, you can use them to deduce the prescription. Even if it is not allowed, there are eight/nine points.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, so the doctor immediately picked up the pill, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and then said with great certainty, "Madam, this is a child-avoiding medicine." ”

The eyebrows tried to hold themselves so that the shocked expression did not appear on their faces. Yuan Ziqing is secretly eating the child-avoiding medicine? He...... What is he trying to do? "Are you sure?" Meibian couldn't help but ask.

The doctor snorted, "We also have such a medicine in the medical hall, if you don't believe it, I will let the medicine boy marry a pill, and you can see it yourself." ”

"No, no, no, it's not that I don't believe you." Meibian hurriedly said, "I just didn't expect it." Are all three pills the same? ”

"It's all the same." The doctor said, "At most, there are some slight differences in the ingredients, and the effect of the medicine should not be much different." ”

He didn't ask where the medicine came from and what it was for, this lady looked like she was from a big family, and the doctor didn't want to get involved. Anyway, he just judged it, and didn't know anything else.

"That's right." Meibian was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "Can men also take this child-avoiding medicine?" ”

The doctor smiled, "It seems that you don't know anything. This is the medicine that men take, and it is very different from the medicine that women take. "I don't know if this lady's husband is secretly taking this medicine and doesn't want children? It's weird!

"Is this medicine bad for the body? I mean...... You should understand. He asked again.

The doctor said, "After taking this medicine for a long time, it may indeed affect the body, and the heirs are difficult." ”

His face turned pale, he put the pill away again, thanked the doctor, and took out another piece of broken silver, "This is the consultation fee, I have to thank you." ”

The doctor knew that she was not short of money, and she spent money to buy peace of mind, so she did not refuse.

He turned around and left the infirmary, and couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.

The results were unexpected. But in the end, it wasn't Yuan Ziqing's body that had any problems. At least she didn't have to worry about it.

It's just that his eyebrows immediately gritted his teeth again. Of course, she knew why Yuan Ziqing was like this, because he didn't want to bear the pain and danger of childbirth anymore, so he used this method. No wonder he never shies away from touching himself on weekdays, and he has solved this problem from the root.

I still take medicine that will cause difficulties for children over time. Maybe he will take it for three years and five years, and even if he stops the medicine at that time, it will not have any effect.

Even if it's for his own good, Meibian doesn't like this truth very much.

Her original plan was to go with the flow and give birth if she had, but she didn't forget it. As Yuan Ziqing said, children are fate. But now that he knew that Yuan Ziqing had done such a thing, his eyebrows were shocked, angry and painful, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Her husband loved her to the core, and he didn't want her to bear the slightest danger. This should have been a happy thing, but when I thought of this, I couldn't be happy anyway. It's just that she's not happy, and she doesn't know what she should do.

Debunked? Yuan Ziqing is attentive, even if he doesn't thank him, he can't help but admit that the only person who benefits is himself. If it is exposed, it will not be interesting.

But just pretending not to know, it really made Meibian feel very aggrieved, and if she didn't find a way to vent, it would be difficult for her to be reconciled.

It's just that it's not convenient to talk to someone about this kind of thing. After all, this is a secret matter between husband and wife, if the people in Fuwangfu know about it, maybe they will blame her for letting Yuan Ziqing do such a ridiculous thing.

――For the elders, it is important to spread the branches and leaves, and the more children the better. Because there was Xiao Jiu in front of them, they didn't urge, but if they didn't urge, they knew that there would never be another in the future, it must be completely different.

As for Zhou Yingyue, the only one who can speak...... frowned, and subconsciously didn't want to sue her about this.

No matter how good the relationship between the concubines is, it is inevitable that there will still be some comparisons. Even if you don't compare yourself, you will be compared by others. It is impossible not to feel anything in my eyebrow. Besides, Yuan Ziqing's matter is really not suitable to discuss with Zhou Cinema.

Thinking about it, there is no one to say.
