Chapter 102: Interests Involved
Sima Liang withdrew his hand and smiled brightly, "Congratulations to the three princes and the three princesses, they are princes!" ”
The expression on Bai Shuqin's face froze, although she knew that this was just the result of Sima Liang's pulse, and it didn't mean that it was 100% a boy, but she still believed it.
Zhuo Jinxuan was very excited, but Bai Shuqin's state made her worried, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Shuqin was already imagining in his mind how to educate him, and he must be trained to be a man with the ideas of the new era, and it was best to contribute to the inequality between men and women in this world.
Feeling Zhuo Jinxuan touching her, she quickly retracted her thoughts, "It's nothing, it's just that I thought that his name could be set temporarily." ”
"If Nian Xuan is like you, I am afraid that her appearance will be even more beautiful than ordinary women in the future!" Zhuo Jinxuan imagined that it would be a blessing to have a male version of Bai Shuqin in the future.
"Nian Xuan?" Sima Liang muttered quietly, and after understanding the meaning, he only felt that he should not be with them again in the future, making him feel very lonely.
On the second day, Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin rushed back to the capital early in the morning, and Sima Liang was full of research on gunpowder and did not stay long. After sending them away, he packed up and prepared to say goodbye to his father and go to the Gobi.
"Let's go home first, right?" Bai Shuqin lifted the curtain and said to Qingfeng outside the carriage.
Zhuo Jinxuan was surprised, this time is still early, usually she chooses to go to Baohetang first, and then go back to the house, why did she change the route today?
Without waiting for him to ask, Bai Shuqin smiled and said, "Bai Bingbin is not in good health, you must be worried." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't expect that she was not only delicate, but also so tolerant and generous, if it was someone else, I was afraid that it would be almost the same if he was not allowed to see Bai Bingbing, how could she take the initiative to think about him.
"I still have to remind you that if you don't want to delay Bai Bingbing, keep your distance from her." Bai Shuqin said calmly.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhuo Jinxuan held Bai Shuqin's hand.
Back at the house, Zhuo Jinxuan originally planned to visit Bai Bingbin alone, but Bai Shuqin followed behind him, "We are husband and wife, I must be with you in this kind of thing." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan looked at her dotingly, "Madame said yes!" ”
After drinking the medicine prescribed by Beizhu, the symptoms of white betel have been much lighter, and he can eat some liquid food. Steward Li also found out that there was indeed a problem with the soup sent by Bai Shuqin.
It's not that Bai Shuqin was poisoned, but the soup left over from yesterday in the kitchen was not poured out, and when the maid went to serve it, she mistakenly thought it had just been cooked this morning, so she took it out.
After knowing that this was the case, although she was not kind, Bai Shuqin was very glad that she gave the soup to Bai Bingbing. If she eats it herself, she will be the one who suffers.
Bai Shuqin glanced at Zhuo Jinxuan, and seeing his faintly relieved appearance, he knew that he was probably also rejoicing.
The white betin body is just a little better, so I want to embroider a sachet for Zhuo Jinxuan. Xiaoqing felt sorry for her, and sighed beside her, "Miss, you have such a deep heart for the third prince, why doesn't he understand?" ”
The needle passed through the sachet and pierced Bai Bing's hand, and a drop of blood oozed out and fell low on the sachet.
"Miss!" Xiaoqing exclaimed, hurriedly found a handkerchief, wiped the blood off Bai Bingbin's fingers, and pressed the slight wound tightly with the handkerchief to prevent the blood from continuing to flow.
Bai Bingbing's face was as calm as water, and she and Zhuo Jinxuan grew up together. When he was a child, Zhuo Jinxuan was relatively close to her, and when he grew up, he rarely came to visit her on the grounds that men and women avoided suspicion.
But Bai Bingbin understood that Zhuo Jinxuan was for her own good, and he didn't want her to be hurt by the slightest rumor. Otherwise, he would not have agreed without hesitation when the emperor gave him a marriage.
If it weren't for Bai Shuqin's obstruction, how could she end up with such a result. Her eyes were full of hatred, and she held the sachet tightly in her hand.
Before Bai Bingbin could ponder for too long, Zhuo Jinxuan appeared at the door. She got up happily, but saw that Zhuo Jinxuan was still followed by Bai Shuqin, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Zhuo Jinxuan saw the needlework beside Bai Bingbing, and said with some concern: "Bingbing, your body is not well, rest well, don't be tired." ”
"yes, you should get some rest!" Bai Shuqin followed alongside, she noticed the sachet on Bai Bingbin's hand, and smiled slightly, "This needlework is the most painful and laborious, just leave it to the embroidery girl in the house to do." Jin Xuan, didn't you tell Miss Bai that all the embroidered girls in our house are excellent? ”
Bai Shuqin's words made Bai Binbin's face a little ugly, and she looked at Zhuo Jinxuan with resentment.
Zhuo Jinxuan pinned his head to the side and did not look at Bai Bingbin, "It's my fault, I didn't make it clear." If you want a sachet, let the embroidery girl do it. Shu'er, as the mistress of the house, you should also take more care of Penang! ”
Although he said this to Bai Shuqin, Bai Bingbin knew that Zhuo Jinxuan was telling her that Bai Shuqin was the wife he identified and cut off her thoughts.
Bai Binbin's heart hurt as if it had been pricked by a thousand needles at the same time, she held back her tears and reluctantly smiled, "Thank you for your concern." ”
Her appearance made Zhuo Jinxuan feel distressed.
Bai Shuqin sneered in his heart, and said to Zhuo Jinxuan quietly: "Jinxuan, Miss Bai will be handed over to me to take care of, don't you still have something to do?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't have anything important to do today, but since Bai Shuqin had spoken, he couldn't dismiss her face, "Well, then it's hard madam." ”
As soon as Zhuo Jinxuan stepped out of the door with his front foot, the smiles on the faces of the two women disappeared at the same time.
Bai Shuqin sat down in Bai Binbin's position, and said with a thorn in his words: "You look so pitiful, I really feel sorry!" ”
"Oh, the pheasant flew up the branch, I really thought I was a phoenix!" White Bin Bin also unceremoniously hit back.
Bai Shuqin put one arm on the table, propped his head, and laughed arrogantly, "Heroes don't ask where they come from, the phoenix will eventually become nirvana." Even if I give you another ten months, what can you change? ”
The ridicule on Bai Shuqin's face, as well as Zhuo Jinxuan's attitude, made Bai Bingbin extremely angry, so that his eyes turned red.
"I advise you, it's better to recognize the reality as soon as possible, and let Bai Shaoan find you a prince and nobleman again." Bai Shuqin got up from the chair, put his hand on Bai Binbin's shoulder, and smiled in her ear: "Otherwise, when you are old, you will only have to be a concubine for others!" ”
"You!" Bai Binbin was so angry with her that she trembled, and she took a deep breath to keep herself from losing her mind and fighting with Bai Shuqin.
The smell of gunpowder in the room became stronger and stronger, Xiaoqing was afraid that Bai Bingbin would suffer, so she wanted to come up to help her, but when she saw Bai Shuqin's eyes showing a fierce light, she was frightened and quickly lowered her head without saying a word.
"You have really regressed a lot, is Bai Bingbin, who used to be rude and take pleasure in other people's pain, dead?" Bai Shuqin's face became more and more cold, and Bai Bingbin's insults to her in the past were vividly in her mind.
The women of this world value innocence the most, and Bai Bingbin secretly let those minions bully Bai Shuqin. If it weren't for Bai Shuqin's temperament and the fierce part, I am afraid that his innocence would have been ruined in their hands long ago.
Bai Bingbin calmed down his anger and was extremely sarcastic, "Do you really think that Brother Jinxuan can be unscrupulous if he loves you?" What you did was exposed, and I see you still laughing. ”
"It doesn't matter if I laugh or not, you definitely won't be able to laugh anyway!" Bai Shuqin let go of his hand and stopped talking nonsense with her.
After Bai Shuqin left, Bai Bingbin angrily picked up the scissors and crushed all the sachets that had just been embroidered, and she was still angry, and threw all the tea utensils on her table to the ground.
"You smashed the cup, can Bai Shuqin disappear?" Han Yu's lazy voice came from inside the main room.
Bai Bingbin was startled, she didn't see anyone coming in from outside, could it be that this Han Yu appeared out of thin air? She walked around the screen and saw Han Yu reclining on the chaise longue with a leisurely expression.
"How long have you been here?" Bai Bingbin asked Han Yu in shock.
Han Yu's half-drooping eyes opened slightly, "Does it matter how long I stay here?" As soon as their husband and wife sang and harmonized, your childhood sweetheart became an outsider, can you swallow this breath? ”
Bai Bingbin was angry in his heart, "What if I can't swallow it, you made me lose half of my life, just to let me see Bai Shuqin's proud spring breeze?" ”
"You've probably forgotten our original agreement!" Han Yu reminded her.
Bai Bingbin was in a trance, and Han Yu just promised her at the beginning to let Bai Shuqin lose the child in her belly. And now Bai Shuqin's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it is only a matter of time before he gives birth.
"I remember!" Bai Shuqin gradually calmed down and returned to his usual quiet and virtuous appearance.
Han Yu smiled with satisfaction, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and put it on the desk in front of him, "You just need to drop the medicine here into what Bai Shuqin eats, and all the problems will be solved." ”
The black bottle was only a little finger high, and Bai Bingbin didn't pick up the bottle, but said: "Bai Shuqin is extremely careful on weekdays, and she never tastes what I send." ”
"The medicine here will only work for pregnant women. You're so smart with ice and snow, do you need me to say more? Han Yu looked at Bai Shuqin with a smile, but there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes.
Bai Bingbin suddenly had an idea in his heart, and put the medicine bottle in his sleeve, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
The temperature gradually rose, and the weather in March began to be a little hot.
Bai Shuqin tugged at his neckline, and there was already a slight sweat on his body. She fanned the wind with her hands, feeling a little bored in her heart. If there is no progress in the corruption case, she will not be able to breathe out of her heart.
She carefully recalled the corruption cases she had handled in the past, and most of the officials had actually been discovered a long time ago, but they did not easily touch him, unless he involved some interests that should not be involved.
Bai Shao'an is in a high position, and corruption is definitely not an overnight thing, why did the emperor come to investigate him at this stage? There is a possibility that it will make Bai Shuqin's back cold.
The emperor is over half a hundred years old, but the crown prince has not been established for a long time, and he can't say anything about it.
Now he actually let the Dark Night Pavilion make a move against Bai Shao'an, unless he wanted to break Zhuo Jinxuan's wings, and the biggest beneficiary of this was only the eldest prince Zhuo Qingyuan.
"What are you thinking?" Zhuo Jinxuan's sudden appearance startled Bai Shuqin.
Bai Shuqin settled down, smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing." Don't you ask, what did I do to White Penne? ”
Zhuo Jinxuan sat down beside Bai Shuqin, putting his hand around Bai Shuqin's shoulder, "Although you hate the people of Baifu, you won't do anything out of proportion." And I also understand that if I relent, I am giving Penang the wrong hope. Am I right? ”
"You're smart!" Bai Shuqin raised his head, and praised him once.
Zhuo Jinxuan's face was full of your husband's excellent expression, but he still said to her, "Bing Peng is here as a guest after all, I am not convenient to be too good to her, and I need you to care more about her." ”
"Hmph, sure enough, I still miss the old feelings!" Bai Shuqin turned his face away.
Seeing her like this, Zhuo Jinxuan persuaded him again and expressed his intentions again, and Bai Shuqin spared him.
The sky was getting dark, Du Zijun had dinner, deliberately went around to the courtyard of the third concubine's room, and saw that the lights in her room were not on, so he wanted to sneak into her room to find out if there were any clues.
Du Zijun turned his head to look around, made sure that there was no one, tiptoed open the room of the third concubine's room, and quickly closed the door.
