On the second day, Feng Shu came back to his life, saying that after Master Wang's inspection, he determined that this was the night flower.

Feng Shu said: "Master Wang has only seen night sunflower once, and he waited until midnight in a place where there are no people for hundreds of miles, just to see the sunflower bloom at night." I didn't expect to see the stamens of nightflower in Xia Kingdom. ”

"What else does Master Wang say?" Xia Ning asked.

Feng Shu paused and continued: "He also said that I don't know what the heart of the person who planted this night flower is, the night flower is an evil thing, not to mention ordinary people, even strange people may not touch this thing. ”

After Feng Shu finished speaking, he retreated.

In the afternoon, Zhiqing came to report, saying that General Huan had something important to see His Royal Highness, Xia Ning went out for a while, and when he came back, he had a sad face, sat at the table and said nothing, so I didn't bother him.

I don't know when, the sunset has already set on the branches, but Xia Ning refuses to leave.

"From now on, I will be here with you every day."

"You may not know how many people are staring at your stomach right now."

"For you, for our children, I dare not be careless."

Birds chirp outside the window, jumping from branch to branch. I don't know when, the branches of the tree sprouted, yesterday? The day before yesterday? Or today?

The remnant sun is drowsy, and the sunset is gradually fading in color. The moon rises into the sky, and it is another quiet night.

Xia Ning was writing the fold on the desk, the candle flame was moving, and he took the fold to Feng Shu, who was already waiting outside the door.

Feng Shu looked at the excerpt, "Your Highness, this ......"

"Go ahead, that's all there is to it now."

Xia Ning closed the door lightly and extinguished a few fire candles without panic.

"Brother Ning, what's going on?" I asked.

Xia Ning frowned, and after extinguishing the fire candle in his hand, he said: "Recently, several small feudal states in the north have frequently caused trouble on my border, and I handed over the military letter to Huan Qing and asked him to build fortifications on the border. ”

"Soldiers? My father's military book? ”

Xia Ning nodded, "I've already read the book of war, and I've also told Huan Qing about it, and it shouldn't be a big problem to hand it over to him." Just ......"

"Just what?" I asked again, and Xia Ning seemed to be worried.

"This time, my father asked me to supervise it in person, and I can't shirk it, so I will leave the day after tomorrow, and it will take half a month to leave. Now that you're pregnant again, I'm not worried. ”

"So you're worried about me?" I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a big deal, "Brother Ning, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, and there are so many people guarding me, I'm in King Ning's palace all day long, and I'm not going anywhere, what can I worry about?" ”

Xia Ning smiled softly, "Well, that's good, but don't sneak out again, let alone get close to the Prayer Spirit Palace, you know?" ”

"Brother Ning, I don't understand, what's wrong with that place, why is it sinful to just be close there?"

"That place is the forbidden place of my father, and if he finds out that anyone has gone there, there is only one way to die."

"Why does King Xia hate the Spirit Prayer Palace so much?"

"Concubine Ling used to live in the Prayer Spirit Palace, and she was very favored by her father, but do you know why she is favored?"

I shook my head, "I don't know. ”

"Because she looks like my mother! But do you know why she died? ”

I shook my head again.

"It's also because she looks like my mother!"

I was completely blinded and didn't know what he meant.

Xia Ning smiled and continued: "When I first saw Concubine Ling, I found that she was very similar to my mother, and it didn't take long for her to become my father's favorite concubine, and the Prayer Palace was also built for her by my father. But suddenly one day, Mr. Yin Yang said that Concubine Ling was the reincarnation of the demon concubine, and his father was furious when he heard it, so he locked Concubine Ling in the prayer palace and put her under house arrest. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know the reason, but after my secret investigation in the past few years, I found that Concubine Ling's death was inseparable from the queen! ”

"When you first came, you were teased by them on the court, and then you were instructed by Mr. Yin Yang to marry me, so I am even more sure that the queen and Mr. Yin Yang are in the same group. What kind of demon concubine reincarnation is just a rhetoric to fool the world, but my father believes this. ”

"At first, my father only put Concubine Ling under house arrest in the Prayer Palace, and did not give an order to kill her, but it didn't take long for the news to come from the Prayer Palace, saying that Concubine Ling was dead, so my father decreed that no one should approach the Prayer Palace. As for what secrets are inside, this king will definitely find out! ”

"Could it have something to do with nightflowers?" I asked.

The queen planted such an evil thing in the palace, and it was difficult for people not to have anything to do with the strange things that happened frequently in the palace.

"I don't know yet, but I've sent someone to investigate secretly, and if these things are really related to her, this king won't let her go!"

Xia Ning touched my stomach and said, "Little thing, these days when I'm away, you have to protect your mother, you know?" ”

I laughed, "It's only the size of a sesame seed now, how can you hear what you're saying, hahahaha!" ”

"Huh?" Xia Ning said in a foolish manner: "The size of a sesame seed? Then you have to grow up quickly so that you can protect your mother, you know? ”

"Okay, Brother Ning, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Xia Ning hugged me and smiled contentedly.

Two days later, Xia Ning left, and he sent some more people over, and specially left Fengshu to take care of me.

After Xia Ning left, Huanqin came to see me once, saying that she was not in good health a few days ago, so she never came to see me.

Her eyes have long lost their former light, and her face is a little haggard, she just lost her child, and she doesn't want to come to me.

However, when she came, she brought a few maidservants over, saying that His Royal Highness King Ning was not there, and I was afraid that something would go wrong. I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to accept it.

Right now, my yard here is bustling with activity. The guards outside the courtyard change shifts every two hours, and the servants in the courtyard always seem to have something to do.

My belly is not big yet, and His Royal Highness King Ning is too nervous.

Zhiqing followed me every day, and the food she brought her had to be tested with a silver needle first, and she ate it herself before giving it to me. She said that this was not ordered by His Highness, this was all a method she came up with, and she wanted me to reward her.

This little clever ghost has gained a lot of weight in the past few days.

Before Xia Ning left, he said, it is early spring, and when I am born, it will be autumn, and the gold leaves all over the ground will be very beautiful.

However, I wanted him to show me the cherry blossoms dancing in the sky.

I remember when I was in Hanaqiao Country before, he told me that the cherry blossoms in their summer country are unique, and the pink petals falling slowly are very beautiful.

Also said...... Every year after that, he would take me to see the cherry blossoms flying in the sky.

When he comes back, I must let him fulfill his promise first~

When I think about it, I feel so beautiful......

"What is the girl giggling at?" Zhiqing giggled with a smile, "Presumably...... Are you thinking of Your Highness? ”

Zhiqing fiddled with the snacks on the table, and said, "It's the first time I've seen a girl like this." ”

I put my chin in my hands and asked, "Zhiqing, are the cherry blossoms of your Xia Kingdom really so beautiful?" ”

Zhiqing thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... It's really beautiful, but people like us don't have time to do things like cherry blossoms. ”

"See the mother!"

As I was talking to Zhiqing, I saw a maid serving tea at the door saluting me, slowly walking in, and putting the tea on the table.

"Niangniang, please use tea."

I was about to pick up the tea, but Zhiqing took the first step and put the silver needle into the tea, and when she saw that the needle was fine, she handed me the tea again.

I took a sip of tea and asked, "I haven't seen you before, are you new?" ”

The maidservant replied, "Hui Niangniang, the slave and maid are new." I just entered the palace a few days ago, and I was placed in the palace of King Ning, and I was ordered by the princess to come and take care of you. ”

"Alright, you go down."

The handmaid retreated.

Looking at her departing back, I always feel familiar, like an old friend.
