Zhike stretched out his hand. I was about to put the petals on her hand when it occurred to me that I needed to use alum for my nails, otherwise the color on the nails would not be dark enough.

"Is there alum?"

Zhike thought for a moment: "Alum, what is it?" ”

I was stunned, and when I remembered Zhike's extraordinary force, I understood. Zhike, who is as martial as her eldest brother, how could she know what alum is.

"I'll find it myself."

I was in the mood to toss, and when my sleepiness dissipated, I went to the kitchen.

This is the first time I've come out since Bibo City. The blue sky outside, the very white clouds, are a little more beautiful than the sky in Zhiguo. Miao Jiang dominates the Tianhe, and legend has it that there are gods living in the sky above Miao Jiang, so Miao Jiang will practice the art of Gu insects, and the north is close to the cold ice.

Before I could reach the kitchen, I came across a gorgeously dressed woman on the way. She looked at me with a less friendly look in her eyes, and even a little resentful. I didn't know her, and I didn't bother to ask.

"Stop." She called me.

I paused, and Zhike whispered in my ear, "This is Qingxian, the king's concubine." ”

It turned out to be a woman with Le Changfeng. I laughed mockingly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Qingxian walked up to me: "I'm the king's mother, why don't you salute when you see me?" ”

I said, "Then you should go and ask your king if I need to bow to you." ”

"You ......," she was about to teach me a lesson.

Zhike stopped me behind me and said, "Niangniang, our young lady doesn't need to salute anyone, if Niangniang thinks it's inappropriate, you can go and ask the king, this is what the king means." ”

Qingxian's face was very ugly: "Zhike, you have known this palace for decades, and now you are facing an outsider." ”

Zhike lowered his head: "The subordinates are loyal to the king." ”

Qingxian hummed twice, and glared at me fiercely before leaving, there was too much unwillingness in his eyes.

I continued: "Are you friends with her?" ”

"Yes." Zhike said: "Qingxian, me and Princess Changliu." The three of us grew up together. ”

After a pause, she added: "The king doesn't like Qingxian, he only treats her as a sister all the time. Qingxian's family suffered an accident, five years ago there was no father, the king saw her pitiful, and married her because of his love. ”

I smiled, "What are you telling me about this?" ”

When I got to the kitchen, I looked for alum, and those palace maids were very enthusiastic about me, knowing that I was looking for alum, and handed it to me directly.

On the way back, Zhike was silent for a long time before saying, "My subordinates think that the king really likes Miss." ”

I laughed even deeper: "Do you think I like him?" ”

Zhike nodded and shook his head: "My subordinates can't see it." ”

Le Changfeng has no heart, he won't like me, he imprisoned me just to get what he wants. This person is too good at scheming, and will never do things that are not beneficial to himself.

When he returned to the house, Le Changfeng was already sitting on the soft couch. As if I couldn't see him, I put the alum in vinegar and let Zhike stir it with a stick until the petals were colorless.

"Do your nails?"

I nodded and stood aside: "I haven't been to see my mother and eldest brother for a few days. ”

After Bibo City came back, Le Changfeng repeatedly found reasons not to let me visit my mother, saying that my mother was sick and was afraid of infecting me, so my mother didn't want to see me. I believed this reason for a day or two, but now it has become less and less credible for more than ten days.

Le Changfeng ate a piece of pastry: "Wait two more days, Aunt Xiao's body is not yet well, she is afraid of infecting you, and she doesn't want to see you for the time being." ”

I looked at him quietly, "You're lying to me." ”

Le Changfeng made a move, and I was even more sure that Le Changfeng was lying to me, my mother must have had an accident, so he would do everything possible to stop me from letting me see her.

"Le Changfeng, you said you wouldn't lie to me in the future."

Le Changfeng glanced at me a few times, and I also looked at him firmly. If he understands me, he will surely understand that if I don't see my mother today, I won't give up.

After a long time, Le Changfeng sighed heavily and said, "Then you have to be mentally prepared." ”

When I saw my mother covered in gauze, her hair burnt, and lying unconscious in bed, I sighed. Kneeling heavily in front of my mother's bed, unable to speak or move for a long time.

Le Changfeng told me that in the days we left Miaojiang, the courtyard where my mother lived suddenly caught fire at night. The fire started in the back room, and it spread so quickly that my mother didn't have time to escape, so she was crushed under the beams. By the time the rescuers arrived, my mother was already dying, with burns all over her body, and my eldest brother was nowhere to be found, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Don't be too sad, I'll ask the best wizard in Miao Jiang to treat my aunt." Le Changfeng seems to be comforting me.

I knelt on the ground with trembling legs, my mind was dizzy, and I was also confused when I looked at Le Changfeng's figure. With tears in my eyes, I asked him, "Was it an accident, or was someone doing it on purpose?" ”

Le Changfeng replied without hesitation: "Accident." ”

I laughed miserably, "My mother and my eldest brother are both extraordinary, how could they not have time to escape." Le Changfeng, you still lied to me in the end. ”

Le Changfeng looked at me and moved the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say a word after all.

I slowly got up from the ground, and I lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of me.

I woke up in the evening, Le Changfeng holding my hand. I withdrew my hand lightly, and at the same time woke up Le Changfeng.

"You're finally awake." Le Changfeng held my hand in the palm of his hand again, touched my forehead, and kissed my face, looking very happy.

I didn't want to see him, so I turned my face to the side: "You go, let me be quiet." ”

"Ruyue, don't sulk anymore." Le Changfeng held my face, and the smile was bright on his face: "Ruyue, you are pregnant." ”

My eyes widened for a moment, and I looked at Le Changfeng in disbelief.

"You...... What did you say? "He said I was pregnant, I had his baby in my belly. How is it possible, how is it possible! Me and him...... I thought of Le Changfeng deliberately grinding his ears and temples every night and refusing to leave, and my heart sank suddenly.

"I said you had you and my baby." Le Changfeng reached out to touch my lower abdomen. I almost bounced out of bed as if I was frightened.

Le Changfeng was taken aback, and subconsciously stood up from the edge of the bed: "Be careful, the witch doctor said that your body is weak and your pulse is unstable." The first three months are especially important, but be careful. ”

"You did it on purpose." I yelled at him uncontrollably.

Le Changfeng didn't argue for himself, and generously admitted: "You and I have the reality of husband and wife, and it is only a matter of time before we get pregnant." Isn't that a good thing? ”

"Of course it's not a good thing, you killed my father and made my mother like that, we can't be together." I collapsed and collapsed on the bed.
