218 Escape from the palace
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was summer, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, even if I changed into a thin summer coat early, I still couldn't stand the heat of the sun, and I was sweating profusely when I moved a little.
"Miss, drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat." Liangyuan walked into the dormitory with a bowl of freshly boiled sour plum soup in his hand, and said to Qu Wurong, who was leaning on the soft couch and sleepy.
Pregnant people are the most resistant to heat, especially Qu Wurong is now seven months pregnant, since the summer came, she felt like she was staying in a huge steamer every day, hot and stuffy so that she could barely breathe, if it wasn't for Shen Wu'an to put ice cubes in the hall to cool down, and a few girls took turns to fan her, she felt that she might not be able to survive even a day!
Glancing at the porcelain bowl she put in her hand, the dark brown liquid in it was extremely similar to the fetal pills she had to drink every day, Qu Wurong only glanced at it and turned his face away, with a sad expression, "Put it there first." β
Hearing her say this, Liangyuan was not reluctant, picked up the fan placed on the low table and fanned her, and by the way, told her some interesting things that he heard from the outside, Qu Wurong was still interested at first, but he couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call after listening to it, and fell asleep again.
Huahua, who was lying at her feet, raised her head and looked at her, lazily "meowed", and then buried her head under her tail in the same way, and fell asleep after a while.
When Shen Wu'an came in, he saw such a scene, he made a silent gesture to Liangyuan who stood up to salute him, and then sat down in the place she had given up, took the fan in her hand, and continued to fan the sleeping person.
Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Liangyuan retreated with interest.
Because the weather was too hot, Qu Wurong didn't sleep for long, and after a while, she woke up sweating, and saw the person sitting next to her clearly, she asked lazily, "When did you come back?" β
"It wasn't long after I came back." Shen Wu'an said, picked up the untouched sour plum soup at hand, and handed it to her mouth, "Is it hot?" Drink some sour plum soup to cool off. β
Qu Wurong took a sip of his hand and pulled his collar with his hand, "It's hot!" β
"Bear with me a few more days." Seeing that she didn't drink anymore, Shen Wu'an put the bowl in his hand on the low table and continued to fan her, "I have already asked people to clean up the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and in a few days you will take Jinyu and a few of their girls over, it will be cooler than the palace!" β
"Okay!" Qu Wurong nodded subconsciously, but she quickly sensed something was wrong from his words, "Won't you come with me?" β
"You go first." Guessing that she would ask this, Shen Wu'an replied with a smile, "There are still some things to deal with in the court, and I will go over to you when I deal with them." β
Hearing his words, Qu Wurong stretched out his hand to grab him, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come along." β
"Aren't you too hot?" Shen Wu'an held her hand instead, and used another to make fun of the fine sweat on the tip of her nose, "Besides, you are still pregnant with a child, and you will suffer a little less if you have passed earlier, and I don't know how long it will take to deal with it!" β
Qu Wurong was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Is something wrong?" β
If it weren't for something important, Shen Wu'an would definitely not let her go to Zhuangzi alone to escape the summer, and what he said would only prove that this time the matter was not trivial, and even he couldn't solve it easily, so he would let her go to Zhuangzi alone first, and wait for him to deal with the matter here before going over.
"When will nothing happen to the DPRK?" Shen Wu'an smiled and patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous, "It's just that this time the matter is a little troublesome, don't worry, I will do my best to solve it and then go over to accompany you." β
Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong stopped asking, "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
After learning that they were going to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to escape the summer, several girls were very happy, not only because they could leave the palace to go outside to breathe the wind, but also because the Zhuangzi in the suburbs was much cooler than in this palace.
In fact, this Xiangxue Hall is relatively cool, and normal people will not feel unbearable heat when they stay here, but Qu Wurong is now a special period of pregnancy, and the requirements for the environment are naturally much higher.
"Miss, Miss Lost Pearl is here."
On this day, Qu Wurong was resting on the soft couch, and when he heard the voice of Jin Yu behind him, he opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Qu Yizhu wearing a crimson dress walking in, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "It's so hot outside, why did you enter the palace at this time?" β
"It's windy outside today, not too hot." Qu Yizhu replied as he sat down beside her.
Without waiting for Qu Wurong to speak again, Jin Yu, who was fanning her behind her, couldn't help but interject: "Miss Zhuzhu, you don't know, our young lady can't stand the slightest heat now, if it's not for the child, I'm afraid she can't wait to get into the ice cellar!" β
Qu Wurong, who was teased, retorted dissatisfiedly: "If I hadn't been pregnant with a child, I wouldn't have been so hot, okay?" β
"That's right." Qu Yizhu nodded approvingly, "I heard that when I was pregnant, I was more afraid of heat, and when I went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs in two days, it would not be so hot, and my sister would endure it for two more days." β
Hearing her words, Qu Wurong looked at her in surprise, "How do you know that I am going to Zhuangzi to escape the summer?" β
"It's the husband who sued me." Qu Yizhu replied truthfully, "Didn't the emperor ask people to clean up the Zhuangzi in the suburbs a few days ago? My husband personally brought someone over to clean up, and I also went with it, and found that it was indeed much cooler than in Tiandu City, and it shouldn't be so difficult for my sister to go. β
Qu Wurong heard Shen Wu'an say about this matter, "So that's the case!" β
"By the way, when is my sister going to leave?" Thinking of the purpose of his entry into the palace today, Qu Yizhu asked, "I'd better go back and clean up, so as not to delay my sister's trip." β
"You wait a minute!" Qu Wurong felt that her brain seemed to be a little insufficient, otherwise why would what she said today sound so incomprehensible to herself? "I went to the countryside in Zhuangzi to escape the summer, why did you pack up your things? Are you going to come with me? β
Hearing her ask, a touch of surprise appeared on Qu Yizhu's face, "Why, the emperor didn't sue Sister SΓΉ?" β
Qu Wurong shook his head gently.
Seeing that she really didn't seem to know that there was such a thing, Qu Yizhu explained to her: "The emperor said that he had no way to leave the palace for the time being, so he asked me to accompany my sister to live for a while, I thought my sister knew it!" β
"I don't know." Qu Wurong shook his head again, "He didn't sue me. β
Her answer was unexpected by Qu Yizhu, but she quickly figured it out, "Probably the emperor wants to surprise my sister." "But now she seems to have messed it up!
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Wu'an arranged so many things, but he didn't tell Qu Wurong, he really wanted to surprise her, but Qu Wurong didn't think so, she felt that Shen Wu'an didn't just want to surprise herself, he seemed to have something to hide from him.
He obviously promised her that after dealing with the affairs in the palace, he would go to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs to accompany her. It stands to reason that it won't take a few days to deal with things, if it weren't for worrying about her body, Shen Wu'an might have asked her to wait for him to go together, but now he has arranged for Qu Yizhu to accompany him in the past, what does this mean? It shows that he can't get out of the palace for a while, and it also shows that the matter he has to deal with is very tricky, and he arranged for himself to go out of the palace to escape the summer at this time, in addition to worrying about himself and his children, does he actually not want to let himself know that he has to deal with this matter?
Thinking like this, Qu Wurong's heart began to become uneasy, pregnant people are already sensitive, she couldn't help but think more and more, and in the end, she didn't even notice when Qu Yizhu left.
Since they got married, to be precise, since she accidentally saw through the truth about Shen Wu'an's pretending to be crazy and stupid, Shen Wu'an no longer did anything from her, and sometimes discussed with her, this was the first time he had hidden something from himself, and Qu Wurong had a hunch that this matter should have something to do with her.
Thinking of this, Qu Wurong couldn't help but stand up and walked towards the outside of the hall, startling Jin Yu, who was standing behind her and fanning, and hurriedly dropped the fan in his hand to catch up, "Miss, where are you going?" β
Qu Wurong didn't answer her, but walked straight to the outside of the hall, pulled Yangchun, who happened to pass by outside the palace gate, and asked, "What about Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi?" β
"The two of them should be in the outer court." Yangchun thought for a while and replied, "Do you want to find them?" β
Qu Wurong nodded, "You go and call the two of them here, I have something to tell them to do." β
"Yes!" Yang Chun agreed, turned around and walked out.
Although today's weather was not too hot compared to the previous few days, it was still a little unbearable for Qu Wurong, and after a while, a dense layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Aren't you too hot, miss?" Seeing this, Jin Yu couldn't help but persuade, "Since Yangchun has already gone to call them over, let's go back to the hall and wait first." β
Qu Wurong was indeed very hot, and he didn't insist when he heard her say this, and returned to the hall according to his words.
As soon as they returned to the soft couch and sat down, Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi walked in with their front and back feet, saluted and asked, "I heard Sister Yangchun say, Niangniang, do you have something for us to do?" β
"That's right!" Qu Wurong said, raised his hand and beckoned to the two of them, and when they approached, he whispered something in their ears.
Hearing her command, Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi glanced at each other, and both of them showed a slightly embarrassed look on their faces, "Niangniang, isn't this very good?" If you let the emperor know......"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, how will he know?" Before the two of them could finish speaking, Qu Wurong waved his hand to interrupt them, "You just do what I say, if he really notices it, I will intercede for you!" β
She said so, Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi naturally didn't dare to disobey her order, so they had to respond: "Yes!" The minions will do it. β
When the figures of the two of them disappeared outside the hall, Jin Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, what did you let them do?" Why do I feel like the two of them are going to the execution ground? β
Qu Wurong didn't answer, what she asked Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi to do was indeed against the palace rules, but she couldn't care about it so much at this time, since Shen Wu'an chose to hide it from her, it showed that this matter was not trivial, so even if she went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, how could she settle down to escape the summer?
