As soon as Ah Jin woke up in the morning, he heard a message from Yun Lai from the inn saying that someone wanted to see her. She packed up and rushed over, but she didn't expect that the one sitting in the private room was Liuli, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Senior sister?" Ah Jin was stunned at the door, saw that the other party was kneeling at the tea table, making tea without distractions, walked into the room lightly, and closed the door gently, "Is there any instructions from my father-in-law?" ”

"The pavilion master has already entered the city two days ago to do business. This time, I came on my own behalf. ”

When Ah Jin heard this, he lowered his head and didn't speak again, just knelt quietly opposite Liuli and watched her make tea smoothly. After a while, a fragrant tea soup was gently placed in front of her by Liuli, "Please use it." ”

Ah Jin leaned down and took a deep breath, the mist mixed with the scent of tea steamed out, soaking her beautiful face. Ah Jin straightened up and held the tea bowl in his hand, and tasted the first sip of tea with anticipation.

"My sister's tea art is as evocative as ever. Since I left Uninhibited Mountain, I have never been able to eat this kind of tea again. Ah Jin sighed, and hurriedly drank a few more sips, like a cat that finally got what it wanted and tasted fishy, and the appearance was really unbearable.

Liuli smiled slightly, made her another bowl of tea, and then put down the small brush in her hand, "I came to you today, and there is nothing else." I just want to chat with you, and the other is to say goodbye to you. ”

"Senior sister is going back to Unruly Mountain?" Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liuli's goodbye to come so suddenly. She looked at Ruri without saying a word. The words came to his lips, but he didn't know whether to ask or not.

"I know what you want to say," Liuli didn't look at her, and she also knew what Ah Jin was thinking at this moment, "I still want to see him before leaving." After all, once I leave this time, I will probably never see him again. ”

Ah Jin listened to Liuli's words and breathed heavily. After a while, she sighed a little helplessly and said, "If you want to see it, go and see it." If there's anything I need help with, just say it. ”

"Well," Liuli nodded lightly, and suddenly smiled: "Senior sister, will you look down on me in your heart?" I used to be so resolute, but at this time, I still can't be ruthless. ”

"How so? Senior sister is too worried. ”

Ah Jin was so relieved that Liuli felt a lot more relaxed. It was only at this time that she picked up the bowl of tea in front of her and took a sip, "Speaking of which, I guess the pavilion master will leave the royal capital in a few days." He really didn't like this place, and the recent developments in the situation were not good for Tsutenkaku...... He probably wanted to make a move. ”

"I know my father's temper." Ah Jin nodded, and Liuli's guess was the same as she expected, "I just don't know how he plans to end this matter." ”

"In any case, the culprit will not die well." After Ruri commented on such a sentence, the two sisters never talked about Tsutenkaku again.

……

Liang Qi'an entered the royal capital as Fu Gongzi. For a few days, he lived in the royal capital, knowing that his every move was under the surveillance of others, but he remained silent.

As soon as Fu Shufang entered the royal capital, the Zhu Mansion got the news. It didn't take long for his whereabouts to be reported to Jichang Palace.

Zhu Liangxin sat on the phoenix throne with a silent face. Prince Xiao Shuo is not a stupid person, seeing his mother with such an expression, he also looks introverted and deep. It wasn't until the messenger left that he looked at Zhu Liangxin and said, "Queen Mother, isn't it a good thing to find the account room surnamed Fu?" ”

Zhu Liangxin turned his head sideways to look at Xiao Shuo, with some doubt in his eyes, "At first glance, this is indeed a good thing. But when I think about it, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

Zhu Liangxin's words made Xiao Shuo tighten, and the days when he was locked up in Dali Temple had always been a shadow in his heart. Now he is a little more cautious, "Queen Mother, do you mean, maybe this is someone with a heart who is inviting you into the urn?" ”

As soon as Xiao Shuo's words fell, Zhu Liangxin's eyes became a little gloomy. She slowly leaned back in her chair so that her body could be more comfortable, "I was so calculated by the eldest prince before. Now, we have to be more cautious. ”

"Erchen understands." Xiao Shuo nodded solemnly. The meaning of Zhu Liangxin's words, how could he not understand. planted such a big heel before, which caused the entire princeling party to be greatly damaged. Now, if they take another wrong step, they will lose everything.

"By the way, how is Xiao Meng's body." Zhu Liangxin sighed, and the topic naturally shifted to Meng Yihan, who was pregnant with Liujia.

"She's fine. Yidi also lent out the medical girl who was waiting for her and was responsible for arranging Xiao Meng's diet and daily life. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Liangxin's voice raised slightly, and he whispered inexplicably: "The crown princess is generous. ”

"After all, it's a sister, and Ichidi is so soft-hearted, I didn't expect her to do this."

Zhu Liangxin saw that Xiao Shuo was defending Meng Yidi between the lines, and he felt bored for a while, so he could only patiently raise the doubts in his heart euphemistically, "This palace knows that you care about the crown princess, and some of Xiao Meng's actions are especially disdainful of this palace. But now that she's pregnant with your child, this baby must be safe and smooth no matter what. You don't have to be too relieved about the crown princess, for the sake of prudence, it is better to let the courtyard of Xinglin Yuan send another medical girl to come and wait. ”

Erchen originally thought so, but as the queen mother said, Xiao Meng's fetus is also very important to Erchen. The sons are afraid...... The new medical girl in Xinglin Yuan is not credible. ”

When Zhu Liangxin heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, "The new medical girl can't be trusted, but that Shen Yu can be trusted?" Don't you think this girl is very hidden? Although she is a student of Wei Yuanzheng, it makes sense that she is better than blue. But how does this palace think that this girl is too smart and cunning, and her medical skills are so clever that she feels that she is condescending in Xinglin Garden? ”

Xiao Shuo lowered his head and did not refute. Regarding Shen Yu's identity, he also had doubts, and even secretly probed. But this Shen Yu's own background is very simple, and there is nothing to explore at all. The more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.

Zhu Liangxin glanced at Xiao Shuo, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he knew that the other party had listened to what he said just now. She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not too early, you can go back first." After going back, don't be busy seeing the crown princess, but also care more about Xiao Meng. ”

"Erchen knows." Xiao Shuo stood up, saluted Zhu Liangxin respectfully, and then turned around and left Jichang Palace.

Zhu Liangxin looked thoughtfully at the back of Xiao Shuo leaving, his eyes becoming more and more complicated and condensed. Mama Kong saw that she still had doubts in her heart, so she said, "Niangniang is still not worried about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Look at his amorous look, it really worries Hongu."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a loving and righteous child. Mother, this is a good thing. Mama Kong comforted softly.

"A good thing?" Zhu Liangxin's voice was a little cold for no reason, "If the other party can repay the favor, it's fine." This palace is worried that my stupid emperor has made a mistake with a sincere heart. ”

"Niangniang, what do you mean ......" Mama Kong looked at Zhu Liangxin with some hesitation. It was not difficult to guess what the queen was thinking, but this idea was too shocking for her to speculate.

"Hongu is also a woman, so she naturally knows how terrible a woman's jealousy is. How Meng Yihan entered the East Palace in the first place, isn't it clear to her Meng Yidi? This sister of mine not only used the next means to get into her husband's bed, but now she also uses a trick to get pregnant one step ahead of herself. But she still behaves so generously, if she has no other intentions, or she doesn't take my emperor to heart at all. ”

Zhu Liangxin's voice was calm, but he was very heavy on every word. Mama Kong was silent for a while, and said softly: "Niangniang doesn't need to be so anxious, as the old slave can see, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is a smart person and will be measured." ”

"It's better to be so. Otherwise, don't blame the palace for turning its face and being ruthless. Zhu Liangxin snorted coldly.

……

Feiyun visited late at night and told Xiao Zhan the news that Fu Zhan's traces had appeared in the royal capital. Xiao Zhan was dressed in a coat and paced back and forth in the room barefoot. The night was as cold as water, because there was a charcoal brazier in the room, but he didn't feel it.

Feiyun stood in the room in black clothes, the candlelight flickering on and off, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice that there was another person in the room.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan sat down, "Tell our people to continue to stare at that account room." Protect him, don't let the prince's people get a head start. ”

"Yes," Feiyun nodded, "when does the prince plan to invite that account office to the mansion." ”

"Don't worry. The queen's people are staring at me right now, let's not rush forward," Speaking of this, Xiao Zhan paused slightly, and then said, "Have you ever been to see my mother?" What did she say. ”

"I've seen it. However, Madame was reluctant to leave the Great Mercy Temple. ”

"Well, that's expected," Xiao Zhan lowered his head and smiled lightly, "I'll bet you, if the ninth brother talks to her today, she may agree." ”

Feiyun looked at him in silence, he would never answer such hypothetical things. The other party's reaction was also expected by Xiao Zhan. He lowered his head, leaned on the table and slowly sat down on the round stool, letting himself bathe in the cold moonlight, "I'll go there myself tomorrow." ”

Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and his face hesitated, "If you go, Zhu Liangxin will definitely notice it." ”

"It doesn't matter. If I had stayed still, instead of visiting my mother as often as I had done in the past, I would have made them suspicious. ”

Xiao Zhan's answer did not dispel Feiyun's doubts. He wanted to ask what was going on to confirm what he was thinking. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again.

"That's fine."

This time, Feiyun's calm response surprised Xiao Zhan a little. He looked up at the moon as round as a jade plate, and the gentle smile on his face was even worse, but the light in his eyes was as cold as the moonlight, "Master doesn't have anything else to say to me?" ”

"If you want to say it, why do you need me to ask."

"Yes." Xiao Zhan lowered his head and said nothing else. It wasn't until Feiyun's breath disappeared from the room that he took out the finely made white marble pendant from his arms and looked at it carefully in the moonlight. After a long time, he put it in his arms again and hid it close to him.

……

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the speculation of the outside world about Meng Yidi's plot finally reached the ears of the parties concerned. Shen Yu was a little angry when he heard this, and found someone to send away the two palace people who liked to chew the root of his tongue the most in the East Palace, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

"I caused you to be tired," that night, she was waiting for Meng Yidi to freshen up, and Meng Yidi suddenly said: "They originally came for me, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have said you so ugly." ”

Shen Yu paused for combing her hair, she glanced at Meng Yidi cautiously, and saw that she was melancholy, so she asked softly: "Is it the slave maid who punished those two palace people today and made Niang Niang unhappy?" ”

"You punished them, and you can't stop that leisurely mouth," Meng Yidi said as he helped Shen Yu to stand up and walk out of the house, "Don't pay attention to the matter of chasing the wind and shadows." By the way, how is Yihan's body? ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, Mrs. Xiaomeng's body is very tough, and the child is now five months old, during this time, the slaves and maids are carefully cared for, and the degree of food and clothing will be carefully checked, keep an eye on it, please rest assured."

"Hmm." Meng Yidi nodded, her pale face was calm, and she didn't see any indignation. Shen Yu accompanied her to the garden, and the two of them sat and stood together, both silent. A vague sigh overflowed from Meng Yidi's mouth. If it weren't for Shen Yu's sensitive ears, he wouldn't have noticed this subtle movement at all.

"This moonlight is so beautiful," Shen Yu turned his head sideways, just in time to see Meng Yidi squinting and looking up at the white and flawless moon, with a comfortable expression. With such a relaxed and unrestrained expression, Shen Yu hadn't seen it on Meng Yidi's face for a long time, "Ayu, what are you doing standing, sit with me for a while." ”

Shen Yu shook his head, looked at Meng Yidi with a smile and said, "The slave doesn't dare." Niangniang too, the autumn night is cool, or don't sit outside for too long. ”

Seeing that Shen Yu refused, Meng Yidi didn't persuade again, but just muttered helplessly: "In this deep palace inner garden, there are so many people who can't help themselves. If I was in the Meng Mansion, as soon as I said a word, the maids would sit down with me......"

After saying this, Meng Yidi's face suddenly turned pale. Shen Yu knew that she was thinking of the maid who was killed by the assassin, "Since the mother has an invitation, the slave maid is better than obeying her fate." ”

So saying, she sat down on another stone bench. Meng Yidi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, her eyes seemed to hide a deep sea, sparkling in the moonlight, "Ayu is really a wonderful person." Gentle and kind, and good medical skills. You're eighteen years old this year. ”

Shen Yu nodded, "It's already eighteen." ”

"There are rules in the palace, and you can leave the palace at twenty. If you have such thoughts, you must tell me. ”

"Yes," Shen Yu looked at Meng Yidi and replied very seriously: "If the slave maid has the idea of going, she must be a good lady and dare not deceive." But if the slave wants to wait by the mother's side all the time, the mother should not be in a hurry to drive the slave and maid away. ”

"How so?" Meng Yidi was amused by her, "It's rare for me to meet such an interpreter like you in this deep palace, how can I be willing to let you leave." I'm afraid it's delaying you...... It's not a place where you can live freely after all......"

"What kind of place to live freely?" As soon as Meng Yidi's words fell, Xiao Shuo's voice came. Seeing this, Shen Yu hurriedly stood up and gave up his position to Xiao Shuo, "What are you talking about?" So happy to say. ”

The smile on Meng Yidi's face had not faded yet, and he stared at her face greedily, for fear of missing this fleeting sweet expression. Meng Yidi was about to stand up and salute him, but he was also held down by Xiao Shuo.

"The concubine was just chatting casually with Ayu just now, and everything she said was joking." Meng Yidi glanced at the hand that was tightly held by Xiao Shuo, did not struggle, and responded in a gentle tone. But it was such a dignified and virtuous appearance that made Xiao Shuo feel lost.

Before he appeared, Meng Yidi's smart expression when he talked to this palace maid was so brilliant that he couldn't take his eyes off it, but in front of him, Meng Yidi seemed to be wearing a mask, no matter whether she was sad or happy, she would always look at herself with such a gentle and knowing look.

Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes, trying to hide the pain in his heart, but the coldness emanating from his body still made Shen Yu sensitive to catch it.

"Niangniang, slave maid go and see how the medicinal food you are going to use at night is." With that, Shen Yu turned around and left the small garden.

Meng Yidi stared at the direction Shen Yu left, and his overly focused appearance made Xiao Shuo feel a little unhappy. So he squeezed her hand lightly, and it wasn't until the other person's eyes were on him again that he asked contentedly, "How long have you been sitting here?" Don't you feel cold? Shall we go back to the room? ”

Meng Yidi shook his head and wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Xiao Shuo was holding it so tightly that he couldn't break free at all, "I want to stay here for a while." ...... in the room I always feel out of breath. ”

"But those minions upset you?" Xiao Shuo's eyes flashed coldly, and his tone was still gentle, but it made Meng Yidi's body tremble slightly.

She hurriedly shook her head, afraid that Xiao Shuo would set off a bloody storm in this East Palace in the next second, "It's nothing, don't think about it." ”

Xiao Shuo saw her looking uneasy, and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, "It's better to be like this." Otherwise, this palace will make those cheap slaves who chew the root of their tongues worse than dead. ”

What he said was loud, not to mention Meng Yidi, and even the palace people who were waiting at the edge of the garden couldn't help but chill when they heard it. For a while, most of the palace people in the East Palace have not talked much about the matter between this pair of sisters and the prince. Right now, Xiao Shuo let out cruel words and fell on their ears, naturally everyone was in danger and afraid of them for a while.

Meng Yidi looked at the slightly trembling bodies of the two waiters guarding the gate of the garden, looked at Xiao Shuo with a slight frown, and said softly: "If you open your mouth to say that these bloody words are all going to be fathers, it's not good to do this again." ”

When Xiao Shuo heard this, he suddenly laughed, "This palace only cares about this palace when you say this, and I don't discuss it with you." ”

Meng Yidi glanced at him helplessly, only to feel that his temperament was as perverse as usual.

"Yidi," Suddenly, Xiao Shuo stood up and walked behind her, holding it in his arms. His embrace was too hot, so Meng Yidi always wanted to escape, but he hugged it so tightly that she couldn't move, and there was nowhere to escape, "Even if you are jealous and can't tolerate that child, this palace is happy in her heart." At least, you're jealous for the sake of Hongu. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't talk nonsense," Xiao Shuo's words were so shocking that Meng Yidi didn't know where the strength came from, and he suddenly escaped from his arms. She took several steps forward, and didn't stop until she was some distance away from Xiao Shuo, looking at him in shock, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has listened to any rumors that he would deliberately test me so deliberately?" ”

"No, that's what I mean." Xiao Shuo looked at Meng Yidi with a firm look, and the sincerity in those eyes made Meng Yidi subconsciously stagger his gaze. Seeing this, Xiao Shuo's brows furrowed, and his voice was a little lower, "Why don't you dare to look at this palace?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince. No matter how uncomfortable the concubine is in her heart, she will definitely not make a move on an unborn child...... Such a vicious heart, the concubine will definitely not have. In this case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not say it again in the future, and the concubines will be terrified just by hearing it. ”

"Well, if you don't want to hear it, I won't mention it again." Xiao Shuo saw that she was so disgusted, and although he was unhappy in his heart, he still accepted it.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Meng Yidi quickly glanced up at him, and then quickly lowered his head. Today, she suddenly found that she didn't know anything about this husband who had been sleeping in the same bed for more than a year. She didn't know what kind of person he was. Once the idea took shape, it was as if it were a seed endowed with magical powers, taking root and growing wildly in her heart.

Meng Yidi felt that his whole body was chilling, and even his fingertips had no temperature. She gritted her teeth and wanted to salute Xiao Shuo before leaving on her own, but her body refused to obey the call at all. She felt like a traveler walking in the snow and ice, and she was stiff and unable to move from being wrapped in the snow.

Suddenly her eyes went dark, and she didn't know anything. Before falling into darkness, she seemed to hear Shen Yu's voice and Xiao Shuo's shout, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with her.

That darkness seemed to be her salvation, and she curled up there in peace, isolated from the world.

Shen Yu prepared the medicinal food, and just walked into the garden and wanted to ask Meng Yidi to go back and use some, but when she walked to the door, she happened to see Meng Yidi fall to the ground.

"What's going on?" Shen Yu rushed over with a pale face, didn't think much about it, looked up at Xiao Shuo who was holding Meng Yidi in his arms and asked. At that moment, she didn't even realize that if she used this attitude to talk to the prince, if the other party held her accountable, she would be immediately wiped out.

"I ...... Hongu didn't know, and while talking to her, she fainted. Xiao Shuo also seemed to be flustered, and he didn't pursue Shen Yu's disrespect at all, "Hurry up and show the crown princess what is going on." Aren't you always by her side on weekdays to recuperate for her? How can I recuperate for more than half a year and still look like this! ”

Shen Yu didn't answer, because she was engrossed in checking Meng Yidi's pulse. It's just that this pulse made her confused, Xiao Shuo saw that she hadn't made a sound for a long time, and her heart had already raised her throat, "What's the matter, how is the princess's health?" ”

Shen Yu turned his head to look at the prince, suddenly knelt down, and bowed to the prince: "...... His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang is pregnant. ”

Xiao Shuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" ”

"Nope. The slave maid has confirmed again and again just now that there is nothing wrong with the slippery vein. And...... It's been more than a month. ”

"Okay, good ......" Xiao Shuo got Shen Yu's affirmative answer, and said a few words in a row in ecstatic, and was about to reward everyone, but immediately changed his mind, "This matter, don't make a noise for the time being." Your first task now is to keep this secret and take good care of the crown princess. If the crown princess has any three longs and two shorts, this palace is the only one you ask. ”

"Yes." After listening to Xiao Zhan's words, Shen Yu knelt down again. At this time, the two attendants guarding the garden also knelt down tremblingly, and they naturally did not dare to leak this news. If you let those who have a heart know and try your best to get rid of the crown princess's child, then none of the people who are serving in the garden today will be able to get rid of it.

"Send the crown princess back to rest first."

"Will Your Highness also go back to the dormitory with Niangniang?" Shen Yu stood up, saw Xiao Shuo pick up the unconscious Meng Yidi and walked back, and asked tentatively.

"Naturally, not only tonight, but these other nights, this palace will not go anywhere. Just accompany her. As he spoke, Xiao Shuo glanced at Meng Yidi affectionately.

When Shen Yu heard this, he didn't ask any more. She lowered her head and walked behind the two, just trying to do her duty as a palace person.
