Shen Xizhen, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but wonder—why did Emperor Guangxuan let me go like this? Neither too much blame me and Chu Zihou for the mysterious disappearance, nor did he say that he would lock me up, could this just be the calm before the storm?

She didn't know whether to be relieved or frightened, but she was more cautious than when she came to see him in the palace.

There's nothing in this world to be high-profile.

So she didn't feel like she should have a sense of glory at the moment.

She returned to the door of the Houwang Mansion and carefully knocked on the door.

It was Steward Liu who came out to open the door.

Seeing that it was her coming back, she was so excited that she burst into tears on the spot: "Guang'anhou, we all thought you wouldn't come back." ”

"How so? This is my residence with King Qingping, and we will come back as soon as the time comes. Shen Xizhen said with a smile.

In other words, is King Qingping still built? Steward Liu's face showed joy.

He hurriedly let Shen Xizhen in, and trotted to inform the others. Soon, all the people in the house ran out.

Shen Xizhen stood there in a men's white robe, with a little more heroic between his eyebrows, and his appearance was still amazingly beautiful.

Xiang'er pounced: "Miss......" Before she finished speaking, she cried.

Shen Xizhen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, we're talking in the house." While telling the people what to do, she pulled Xiang'er and went into the back room.

After sitting still, Shen Xizhen found out that Xiang'er was also pregnant, and it seemed that she had been at least four or five months. She couldn't help but laugh: "You're pregnant too?" That's nice! ”

"Miss's estimation will give birth next month, right?" Xiang'er asked with a blushing face.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xizhen has been away from Xi Kingdom for nearly a year. A lot of things in the house have also changed.

"Well, tell me about the affairs of the house, you have to tell the truth about everything. No concealment. Shen Xizhen's expression was slightly strict.

"Okay." Xiang'er first told her how the Empress Dowager Gina had a difficult birth, how she died suddenly, and how the child was taken away by the emperor and the queen.

Shen Xizhen had already calculated and measured the beginning and end of the matter, but at that time he was still holding a bit of luck, but now when he heard Xiang'er say this, he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he had to sigh heavily.

Shen Xizhen bowed three times to the tablet of Empress Dowager Gina, and then sat back in his original position again. Shen Xizhen knew that Chu Zihou would be very sad if he learned about the Empress Dowager Gina, but at this time, neither of them should stay on this kind of sadness, so Shen Xizhen asked Xiang'er again: "Who is in charge of the Houwang Mansion in these days when we are away?" ”

"Your brother and General Ji. They came every few days, so we weren't bullied by anyone else. Xiang'er said.

Shen Xizhen knew that the 'others' she meant by the emperor and the people in the court.

"Mm-hmm, it's really hard for them. When I have completed this plan, I will personally go to their house to thank them. ”

"So you're leaving?" Xiang'er asked a little uneasily, and her eyes looked at her stomach again.

It's about to give birth, can she hold on? Xiang'er was worried and admired, and couldn't help but clench Shen Xizhen's hand.

"Yes. I'm going to be away for a short while. But if things go well, I guess I'll be able to come back within a while. ”

"That's good, we've survived seven or eight months, I don't care about waiting another month, I just hope that you, King Qingping and your children can come back safely."

While he was talking, Pepper knocked on the door and entered.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and he looks not only much calmer than before, but also has a little vicissitudes.

Is it because she and King Qingping are not in the prince's mansion? Shen Xizhen thought in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Master, what are you and King Qingping doing now? It feels like it's dangerous. Pepper asked.

Shen Xizhen nodded. But he didn't say what he was doing.

"You'll know in a few days, and now you'll have to keep it a secret." Shen Xizhen added.

The two didn't ask any more questions.

The kitchen brought a hearty meal.

Shen Xizhen didn't have much of an appetite. But I couldn't bear to brush off everyone's kindness, so I put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating a little bit of everything.

Then Shen Xizhen said to Xiang'er and Pepper: "I will enter the palace as soon as the morning dawns, I may not come back tonight, the next time you see my brother and General Ji, please help me convey your gratitude, and the rest will be settled when I and King Qingping come back." ”

"You...... Is it going to be gone again so soon? Xiang'er's face showed a deep reluctance.

Still Pepper was decisive, and hurriedly said: "Xiang'er, don't pull Guang'an to talk anymore, let her go into the room to rest for a few hours, she should be very tired." ”

Xiang'er reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked the people to prepare bath water, and she personally served Xizhen to take a bath.

After changing into a clean robe, Shen Xizhen felt sleepiness come over for a while, she stopped struggling, and followed her body's reaction to get into the bed.

Soon, she fell asleep.

Xiang'er refused to leave and waited for her in front of her window for the night.

At night, Shen Xizhen had several dreams, each of which was full of crises, and several times she thought it was true, but when she opened her eyes and saw Xiang'er standing in front of her bed, she was relieved again and closed her eyes again.

Even if it was just a short stay, in the prince's mansion, in this home where she and Chu Zihou became husband and wife, she could feel the warmth, so she was very content.

She got up when it was slightly light, and Xiang'er wanted to help her put on women's clothes, but she refused: "I'd better put back that men's robe, it's more conducive to action." ”

Then she asked Xiang'er to comb her into a men's bun.

Suddenly she looked like a handsome and extraordinary young man again.

It's just that her belly is already very visible, and although the robe is very wide, it can still be seen as long as you look closely.

"Miss, I'm afraid men's clothing can't hide your fetus." Xiang'er was a little distressed.

"Then let it be like this, hahaha, anyway, I don't have to go to the enemy in person for the next month."

"In other words, are you in the rear, and King Qingping is in the front?"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh."

"I'll go first, take care of yourself, and go back and do something for your child, there's no time now."

"It's okay, we don't need you to do anything, you just need to come back safely with King Qingping."

Shen Xizhen sighed with some emotion when she heard this, gently patted the back of Xiang'er's hand, and walked out.

Pepper was already waiting at the gate of King Hou's mansion and personally drove her into the palace.

"Master, aren't you afraid that the emperor will hold you accountable?" Pepper asked uncomfortably.

"Don't be afraid, you have to go anyway." Shen Xizhen replied.

"You are really bold, if you were someone else, you might not dare to die and send yourself to Emperor Guangxuan in person."

"There is no way, sometimes you have to consider the pros and cons of things, so you can only abandon cowardice."

"Yes, I hope you can complete the task smoothly."

"Yes."

So the two said goodbye.

Shen Xizhen walked into the palace again. (To be continued......)
