Outside the imperial city, thousands of homes are brightly lit and lively, and the palace in the imperial city is brilliant and the night is silent.

This year's winter should be earlier than usual, and it is a good day to prepare for hibernation.

Xia Xiaoxiao fell into the quilt, and was tossed by Beigong Yu and fell asleep, only vaguely feeling that the person next to him had not fallen asleep, and a low coassing voice came into his mind from his ears, "Xiao Xia'er, give me a Lin'er." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's mind was not very clear, so he only vaguely responded to him, turned over, and fell asleep again.

As soon as Beigong Yu's long arm fished out, he fished the woman who was wrapped in the quilt and rolled it back into his arms, no wonder he was so afraid of the cold, even if he stayed in this room full of stoves, his body was also cold.

Beigong Yu whispered, ordered someone to add two small stoves to the foot of the bed, looked at her sleeping face, couldn't help but kiss the corner of her lips, sighed deeply, and hugged the person in her arms tighter.

Recently, those old stubborns in the court, in addition to caring about Xia Xiaoxiao's residence, have also mentioned the issue of the continuation of the royal heir.

He is no better than Beigong Chengyan, Beigong Chengyan had a family before he seized the throne, after Duan Jinyun's death, Beigong Chengyan ascended the throne and gave birth to many heirs successively, and he has not faced such a problem, he is different, when he was still the prince, because Duan Jinyun made a hindrance from it, there was no son under his knees in so many years, he didn't feel it, but now, his first heir wants Xia Xiaoxiao to give birth to him anyway.

As long as Xia Xiaoxiao can give birth to the first prince for him, then he will have a reason to deal with those old ministers in the court and give Xia Xiaoxiao a posterity, once she has a child at that time, she can stay by his side wholeheartedly.

The candlelight in the hall was dim, and the fire was burning in the house, and the windows could not be closed completely, but a thin cold wind seeped in, blowing up the curtains overhead.

Beigong Yu's palm unconsciously covered Xia Xiaoxiao's stomach, which was still flat, Beigong Yu couldn't help frowning, these days, he has also been thinking about this question, for so long, that is, from Xia Xiaoxiao's return to the palace to the present, there have been many skin-to-skin kisses between them, but it is not good once, so many times, not to mention in his deliberate state, how can he be pregnant, but he has waited for so long, and there is still no movement.

Before, he had suspected that Xia Xiaoxiao was unwilling and would drink medicine behind his back, but who would dare to give her that medicine without his permission in this palace? It wasn't until later that she asked Qingyue, Xia Xiaoxiao seemed to have never taken such a thing to heart, and she had never taken any medicine.

This made Beigong Yu's mood a little more depressed, and even made him have to think about whether it was Xia Xiaoxiao's problem or his own problem.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, when Xia Xiaoxiao woke up on the second day, the bedside collapsed and was cold, Beigong Yu went to the early dynasty, Qingyue hurriedly ran in and told her that Lu Wuxian was waiting in the hall, and then when she finished changing clothes and washing, when she arrived in the hall, Lu Wuxian was indeed waiting, and then sat at the table, and there was a bunch of messy things on the table.

This look is to diagnose the posture of the pulse.

Xia Xiaoxiao just glanced at it, then sat down in front of Lu Wuxian, took the tea handed by Qingyue, and his eyes fell on the bottles and cans on the table, "What are you doing early in the morning when you go to Lingyun Hall to tinker with these things?" ”

"Put your hand on, the emperor said that you have been feeling a bit cold recently, and I will give you a pulse check for free."

Lu Wuxian just glanced at her, knowing that Xia Xiaoxiao's temperament was too lazy to do those false courtesies, he put the small soft cushion in front of Xia Xiaoxiao and pointed at it.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, so she put her hand up, Lu Wuxian's fingertips were on it, and the wind and cold were not too sick, so she looked at Lu Wuxian's face while drinking tea, but when she saw that Lu Wuxian's brows had a faint tendency to wrinkle, she chuckled in her heart, and reminded him to manage his expression seriously, "Your face seems to be telling me that my life is short." ”

Could it be that the poisonous Gu that Murong Tianlian gave her has not been cleaned up, leaving some sequelae?

"Look at your face and you won't be able to die if you live for another seventy or eighty years," Lu Wuxian glanced at her angrily, withdrew his hand, and picked up the pen and wrote the prescription on the paper, "You are weak and cold, and it is easy to provoke the cold in the season of the season, I prescribe this prescription, you go down and let people boil it orally for three days, but you can only take my medicine, it is a three-point poison, and you don't know when you are poisoned." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao felt that she hadn't used any other medicine except for taking Murong Tianlian's antidote before, and she didn't react for a while to what other medicine Lu Wuxian was referring to.

But Lu Wuxian had already handed the recipe to Qingyue, Qingyue ran to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, Lu Wuxian was packing up his things, with no expression on his face.

"I haven't seen you for so many months, I heard Pingshun say that you have left the palace, but have you ever seen Ji Xiaoer in General Ji's mansion?"

Xia Xiaoxiao took the tea and took another sip in his mouth, and asked casually.

What she cares about is not where Lu Wuxian has gone in the past few months, but the incompatible relationship between him and Ji Lingnan, she also knows two points, since the assassin's incident a few months ago, when she heard that Ji Lingnan was taken by Lu Wuxian for treatment, and then when she looked for someone, Ji Lingnan had already left the palace, so she didn't think much about it, but now that several months have passed, Ji Lingnan's family has not even come to the palace again, Xia Xiaoxiao feels that something is wrong.

Lu Wuxian happened to hold a small medicine bottle in his hand and put it in the wooden box, and when he heard Xia Xiaoxiao's words, the medicine bottle slipped out of his hand and rolled to Xia Xiaoxiao's hand.

Lu Wuxian felt that maybe the name he didn't want to hear the most in this life was Ji Lingnan!

But he really wanted to smile or not on his face, "Niangniang, I went out of the palace to be chic, why do I have to go to him?" ”

Seeing that Imperial Physician Lu, who was still quite graceful a moment ago, Master Lu, seemed to suddenly ignite a little angry, Xia Xiaoxiao felt inexplicable, "I didn't say that you have to go to him?" Just ask if you have any ...... by the way."

"Nope!"

Xia Xiaoxiao was interrupted by Lu Wuxian before he finished speaking, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly helplessly felt that the Liang Zi between the two people was really married, but Ji Lingnan now has to do things under Beigong Yu, Lu Wuxian can be regarded as Beigong Yu's henchman, if the two of them are too ugly, it will not be good, so he immediately spoke out and persuaded, "Actually, I won't tell you, you like to gamble on this matter, Ji Xiaoer also likes it, and my ability to steal chickens and dogs with one hand is also learned from the guy who doesn't learn well," she thought about her words a little, "Speaking of which, it was nothing for you to do for those few hundred taels of silver before, Ji Xiaoer is a master who eats soft and not hard, you show him a little kindness, he will cover you for those things in the gambling house, you are still worried about the grievances of the hundreds of taels of silver, right?"

The corners of Lu Wuxian's mouth twitched, a few hundred taels of silver, if it was really for those hundreds of taels of silver, he Lu Wuxian would still need to compensate himself?

But that thing is really not a glorious thing, especially for a man, it is impossible for him to tell Xia Xiaoxiao.

So Xia Xiaoxiao saw that Lu Wuxian quickly took back those things one by one in his hand, and finally heard Lu Wuxian tell her kindly, "Don't wait for that guy to enter the palace, the emperor has issued an order, he is now not allowed to step into the harem for half a step except for the court, especially near the Lingyun Palace." ”

After saying that, the man went out of the door and disappeared from sight.

Xia Xiaoxiao is not much of an accident, it is indeed something that Beigong Yu did.

But Beigong Yu gave an order, but as long as Ji Lingnan wanted to, there was always a way to get in.

For example, not long after Lu Wuxian left, when Xia Xiaoxiao was teasing buns with a small ball in the hall, a little eunuch suddenly walked in, took Xia Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out.

"Ji Xiaoer? Why do you dress like that? ”

The person in front of her who pulled her out was not Ji Lingnan or who?

Ji Lingnan's face was not very good-looking, Lingyun Hall was full of people from Beigong Yu, he didn't dare to delay, "Don't you have the token that Beigong Yu gave you?" Take that one out of the palace with me. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao only thought that he was here to take him out of the palace to play, so he didn't think much about it immediately, but said, "Don't worry, wait for me to change my clothes." ”

As he spoke, he was going back to the inner room.

"It's too late, Beigong Yu is now discussing in the imperial study, and he will be back soon."

Ji Lingnan stopped Xia Xiaoxiao, and as soon as her hand touched Xia Xiaoxiao's wrist, she dodged her, "What's too late?" Ji Xiaoer, where are you taking me? ”

If it's just an ordinary exit from the palace, how can you not let Beigong Yu know?

Xia Xiaoxiao took a step back, widening the distance between the two, and she looked at Ji Lingnan with some doubts and some uneasiness.

"Xia Erxiao, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you are still worried that I will harm you? ”

Ji Lingnan was a little angered by Xia Xiaoxiao's defensive hesitation and almost subconscious action, and took a step forward and wanted to pull her away.

"Ji Xiaoer, I don't have anything to worry about you, but you have to tell me first what you are taking me out of the palace for?"

Xia Xiaoxiao went directly to the table separated from Ji Lingnan this time, and there were guards guarding the palace outside, Ji Lingnan didn't dare to make too much noise, looking at Xia Xiaoxiao's tendency not to follow him without asking clearly, he looked at his expression, and said lightly, "Taking you out of the palace will naturally take you out of this ghost place." ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, and Ji Lingnan was a little angry when he saw it, "What, is it difficult for Xia Erxiao that you are really used to being a mother, and you are reluctant to leave?" Don't forget that you almost lost your life here! ”

The assassin was a person sent by Ye Qiuyu on the surface, but Ji Lingnan and Xia Xiaoxiao both knew that the real murderer had not even been found out by Beigong Yu at present, and no one dared to guarantee that he would not attack Xia Xiaoxiao again, which was the reason why Beigong Yu would rather place Xia Xiaoxiao in Lingyun Hall under the pressure of the full court.

However, if he had wanted to take Xia Xiaoxiao away, Ji Lingnan would not have appeared until now.

"Ji Xiaoer," Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him, "Did you meet someone outside the palace?" ”
