Qi Wanru is not a fool, the people in the palace suddenly disappeared one by two, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Could it be that they suddenly contracted some infectious disease? The emperor was afraid that the illness would pass her, so he drove people away? And afraid that she would be cranky and dare not tell her?

She tried her best to give herself a reasonable explanation, but she felt that these reasons were a bit far-fetched, but she was even more reluctant to doubt Yu Ning because of this, which was really contradictory.

Xiao Liu refused to say, it must be that the emperor didn't tell her to say it, and Qi Wanru didn't want to force her so much.

"Get up." Qi Wanru waved his hand and said.

The queen's words were cold, Xiaoliu was very flustered, she felt that the young lady must not trust her, just when Xiaoliu was struggling to tell the truth, the emperor suddenly came over and interrupted her.

"I didn't tell her to say it." Yu Ning stepped forward and held Qi Wanru's arm and said, "It's windy outside, I'll tell you when I go back to the dormitory." ”

He waved his hand to tell Xiao Liu to retreat first, helped Qi Wanru into the palace, and said slowly: "Someone in the palace has been infected with smallpox recently, so I will send out all the people who have been in contact with it, so as not to spread in the palace." ”

Qi Wanru glanced at him, Yu Ning's eyes didn't dodge, it didn't look like she was lying, and the reason coincided with what she thought, so she believed it.

It's just that there is always something uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't think about it, she chose to believe Yu Ning.

"Well, you should be careful." Qi Wanru was very sensible and didn't ask any more.

Yu Ning smiled and said, "The imperial doctor said that you have to go out and walk around during pregnancy, how about I accompany you to the Qingyang Hou Mansion tomorrow?" ”

Not to mention the place of the Marquis of Qingyang, the cook is delicious, Qi Wanru has not eaten since he entered the palace, and he thinks about it every day, Yu Ning said this, she suddenly laughed, "Okay, the three of us will go and eat them." ”

Yu Ning looked at her stomach and laughed.

Xie Ruqing was about to give birth, and he couldn't go anywhere, and he was depressed, when the emperor and queen came.

"Miss, the emperor and queen are here, they came in private, they didn't take the royal court, they came on foot!" Ruhuan was very surprised and said, "Miss, it turns out that the emperor and queen can also go out on the street like ordinary people, I thought they could only enter and exit in large rows." ”

Xie Ruqing laughed, "How can I have such a stupid girl as you?" What can't be done, as long as the emperor wants to, he can come out at night and be a thief. ”

"You can still be a thief, the emperor is a thief, no one will dare to catch it, it's fun to think about it." Ruhuan joked.

"You girl, since you were with Qi Er, you've become more and more stupid." Xie Ruqing scolded with a smile.

Ruhuan was unconvinced, "Obviously, he became smart after being with me!" ”

"You are a lover." Xie Ruqing held his waist and smiled.

The two of them laughed all the way and went out to greet the emperor and queen, these two are really the same as when they were not the emperor and queen before, they are also dressed in ordinary clothes, and there is no one around them, only Gonggong Li and a few guards dressed as small servants follow from afar.

"Ruqing, how are you?" Qi Wanru was just about to run forward, but Yu Ning grabbed his arm, "Hey, you're not the same as before, don't say run." ”

"Oh." Qi Wan stuck out his tongue, "I forgot it as soon as I was happy." ”

She slowly stepped forward and held Xie Ruqing's arm and said, "There are still a few days left, you don't know that the most envious thing is you now, but I am about to be liberated, and I have just started." ”

"In another ten days, it will be about the same." Xie Ruqing held her stomach and walked slowly, and looked at her stomach in a blink of an eye, "How are you, you still have morning sickness recently?" ”

"I'm much better," Qi Wanru said, "It's just that I'm stuffy in the palace, and after thinking about it, only the Qingyang Hou Mansion is a good place to go, and I can play and eat, so we are here, you can take out all the delicious food in your house today, but we came on an empty stomach." ”

Xie Ruqing teased; "You two are an emperor and a queen, and you are worried about coming to the courtiers' house to eat, and those who don't know think that the palace can't open the pot."

Qi Wanru giggled, "But isn't it, I have a taste since I was pregnant, the food in the palace was barely good, and now I don't eat anything right, just the porridge made by a cook is to my taste, and I have to be thrown out of the palace because of smallpox, alas, it's not easy for me." ”

"Smallpox?" Xie Ruqing was suspicious, when did someone in the palace get smallpox?

"Yes," Qi Wanru said, "several people have been driven away, otherwise it would be too dangerous to stay in the palace." ”

Xie Ruqing glanced at Yu Ning behind him, and the other party looked back with a smile. She immediately understood that this was a lie made up by Yu Ning.

How can there be smallpox in the palace so easily, if there is really one, then the movement will already be big, why not even Qi Yanzhi knows, it proves that Yu Ning must have made up a lie to hide Qi Wanru.

What's the big deal, as for Yu Ning to go to such great lengths to hide it?

Xie Ruqing didn't ask much, and then walked in the yard with Qi Wanru, two big-bellied women, one walked slower than the other, but maybe they were going to be mothers, the relationship between the two was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more topics to talk about.

"Like, I see that you don't look very good, and you have heavy dark circles, but you can't sleep well?" Xie Ruqing observed Qi Wanru's face, after entering the palace, it was said that she should be happy, but somehow her whole feeling was a little low, not as good as when she was a girl.

Qi Wanru nodded, "I can't sleep well, I don't know if I'm thinking too much." ”

She and Xie Ruqing didn't see each other, and what she said in her heart came out.

"What's the matter with you? There's nothing to worry about in the palace, what are you thinking about? As soon as Xie Ruqing heard this, she pretended to be in her heart, it is said that a pregnant woman will be more sensitive, but it is not so, after all, everyone in the world knows that the emperor loves the queen, and she is reluctant to let her do anything.

"I don't know." Qi Wanru sighed, "I don't want to do this either, but I can't control my thoughts, do you think I'm too idle?" ”

"It's not impossible," Xie Ruqing said, "Isn't it easy for people to think too much when they're idle, but what are you thinking, can you tell me?" ”

Qi Wanru was a little embarrassed to speak, she pondered for a while and said: "I'm always afraid that Yu Ning has something to hide from me, at first I was afraid, and then I became more and more sensitive, no matter what he said or did, I felt that he was coaxing me, the more I was like this, the more I couldn't sleep, and sometimes I dreamed that Yu Ning betrayed me at night, and I was kicked out of the palace." I didn't dare to say these words to Yu Ning, so I kept it in my heart. ”

Xie Ruqing frowned, this is not a trivial matter, this is Qi Wanru's subconscious disbelief in Yu Ning, if it goes on like this for a long time, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two. To put it more scary, feelings may be irretrievable.

"How can you not believe Yu Ning, how good is he to you?" Xie Ruqing said strangely.

Then she remembered the recent public opinion of the concubine, and suddenly realized that Yu Ning must have been hiding it in private, right?

"He has nothing to say to me, but I don't know what's wrong, do you think you're stupid during pregnancy? Qi Wanru was very distressed, "I actually didn't suspect her, but I couldn't control what was going on in my head." ”

This is a manifestation of insecurity, Qi Wanru is already sensitive, plus she is under a lot of pressure after becoming the queen, and now she is pregnant again, so it is inevitable.

Yu Ning has something to hide from her, she should be able to feel it, but emotionally she chooses to believe it, but subconsciously she still doubts.

Xie Ruqing felt that this matter was a bit serious, and it was not possible to rely on human persuasion, so she didn't say anything for the time being, but just relieved: "Pregnancy is like this, I wasn't the same at the beginning, I said all day Qi Yanzhi, if you want to find a woman at this time, go to find it, it's best not to let me know, if you know that this child will be mine." ”

Qi Wan's mouth opened wide, she didn't think that the couple could make such a joke, but then she laughed again, because she always wanted to say this, it was too true.

"You and Qingyang Hou are really right." Qi Wanru said with a smile, "Both of them are old immortals in the sky who are hard to find. ”

"What's that called?" Xie Ruqing laughed, "But it's okay to say that it's okay to say it in moderation, it's not good if you say it often, it's too stupid to think about it now, I don't know how many unreasonable things I said, I heard that women will be more sensitive after giving birth, I'm so worried that I'm too much, Qi Yanzhi can't stand it and I will leave me." ”

"Hahaha......" Qi Wanru smiled, "You are too funny Sister Ruqing." ”

Xie Ruqing said a lot of funny things, Qi Wanru laughed for a long time, and her heart was much happier, so she felt that it must be too stuffy in the palace, and she was so idle that she thought nonsense.

It is said that the harem is not an auspicious place, it seems to be true, Qi Wanru was inexplicably unhappy as soon as he returned to the palace, and he was preoccupied, it seems that he would often come to Qingyang Houfu to sit in the future.

Yu Ning and Qi Yanzhi were sitting and drinking tea, and when they heard the laughter from time to time in the courtyard, they also laughed, "It's better for you to be here, it's like I haven't laughed like this for a long time." ”

Qi Yan understood the crux of the matter when he saw it, and he asked directly, "How are you doing with the matter of the concubine?" ”

Yu Ning sighed, "What can I do if I drag it, I just hope that this child is a prince, so that I can delay for a few more days, if it is a princess, it will be even more difficult." ”

Qi Yanzhi said: "The road of the emperor is like this, if you want to keep your original intention as always, then you have to bear more, I don't think you should carry it alone, like it will become a drag for you after a long time, even if you don't think so, you will have such thoughts in your subconscious, which is not good." ”

Yu Ning was awakened by his words again, it is indeed like this, when he is occasionally tired, he will have some negative emotions, he often thinks that it would be good if he was not the emperor at the beginning, if he was the emperor for a long time in the future, everything became a habit, and he would probably think subtly - as if she was too ignorant, why couldn't she share a little more for herself?

After the pressure of people accumulates to a certain extent, no one knows what kind of bad emotions will be born, and what irreparable words will be said to those close to him.

"But sir, as if she is pregnant now, and her mind is sensitive, I don't dare to take risks at this time, what do you say?" Yu Ning was torn and entangled in his heart, and only hoped that Qi Yanzhi would wake him up with a word again.

Qi Yanzhi shook his head with a smile, "Do you know how the excuse comes from, when a person wants to avoid a certain question, he can always make excuses for himself, as if she is pregnant now, it is not suitable, it is not suitable to have a child just given birth, the child is too young or inappropriate, do you think there is a solution to this problem, wait a minute, she has a second child, and the cycle continues, what do you think?" ”

Yu Ning was extremely ashamed, why wasn't that the case, he just didn't want to face the problem.

"Yu Ning, I have to talk to you." At this time, Xie Ruqing came over alone and said.

Yu Ning asked, "What about it?" ”

"Oh, she went to the kitchen with Ruhuan to find something to eat, and said she was hungry." Xie Ruqing smiled and said, "Look at what the palace makes us look like we are hungry?" ”

Yu Ning sighed, "Why am I not, somehow, I feel bored and not delicious no matter how I eat in the palace." ”

Time is limited, Xie Ruqing said straight to the point: "Yu Ning, I think you should talk to Wanru more, hide everything, but it affects the relationship between husband and wife too much, to be honest, if I don't know about the concubine, I will definitely be angry, then I will feel like an outsider, do you understand?" ”

Yu Ning was stunned in his heart, the arguments of these two people were the same, one person and one hammer, almost smashing him to the ground, he sighed dejectedly, "That's it, I'll find a chance to talk to her today." ”

"You're right, but I still have to tell you something." Xie Ruqing poured a cup of tea, took two sips and said, "I know it's not easy for you to be the emperor, logically speaking, husband and wife are the same, the burden should not fall on one person's head, this will lead to imbalance in all aspects, you know, I mean, don't think about Wanru too fragile, she is not the kind of woman who is so weak that she will only hide behind her husband, nor is she the kind of woman who will smile when she has something, she is smart and sensitive, you only report good news and not bad news with her, this is a taboo to get along." ”

"What's more, there are just the two of you in the palace, everything you think about each other is under each other's noses, rather than her finally knowing the truth from other channels, it is better for you to tell her in person, I also said an alarmist thing, once this kind of concealment happens once, she will not believe you for the rest of her life, women are sometimes like this."

These words really scared Yu Ning, he really didn't understand women, and he never thought that things would be so serious, today he was frightened by these two people, and he just wanted to go back to a few days ago immediately, and tell the truth to Qi Wanru, he really regretted that his intestines were blue.

"Thank you two for saving your life!" Yu Ning sincerely bowed his hand to the two.

Xie Ruqing and Qi Yanzhi both laughed, "The emperor is exempt from courtesy." ”

As for whether Yu Ning chatted with Wanru after returning to the palace, Xie Ruqing didn't know, because she started in advance and was about to give birth within a few days.
