After repeatedly confirming that it was the Chu Mansion in front of him, the mandarin duck took a few steps forward and was about to push the door in.

The door, however, was opened from the inside.

It was the sleepy-eyed Chu Huai who was on the front. The two who saw each other were both startled by each other.

"Master, what are you doing when you open the door in the middle of the night?"

"Are you embarrassed to ask? What did you do when you came back in the middle of the night? ”

"It's easy to scare people when you open the door so suddenly, okay?"

"Didn't I hear that someone had been wandering at the door, worried about what kind of thief it was, so I came out to take a look, who would have thought it would be you!"

"Can't I come back and see you?" The mandarin duck also held his neck and said unconvinced.

"You've only been in the palace for a few days, and besides, who came back in the middle of the night?" Chu Huai rubbed his eyes and yawned and walked in, "Come in and say, what's the matter?" ”

"Master, I'm ......" The mandarin duck held the hot tea handed over by Chu Huai, looked at the tea stalks floating in the jade soup, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

After the wild run just now, the mood seems to have calmed down a lot.

"What's wrong with you? The emperor didn't favor you? Who said before that as long as you can stay by the emperor's side, you will be satisfied? It's only been a few days, and you can't stay any longer? ”

"Master, I always feel that after I entered the palace, I became more and more greedy, I can't be satisfied with just staying by Xiao Yuan's side, I just want to monopolize Xiao Yuan."

"What did they do to you?"

"It's not too much, it's just that when the two of them are in front of me, they always make me feel very uncomfortable, and I keep thinking about how nice it would be if I didn't have this person." The mandarin duck clenched the cup in his hand, and the joints of his hands turned white.

Chu Huai suddenly realized, "So you came back this time to tell me that you want to make the queen disappear?" ”

"Yes, Master, can you help me?" The mandarin duck looked at Chu Huai with sparkling eyes, he really deserved to be a master, and he guessed his thoughts at a glance.

"No." Chu Huai walked to the window and looked at the black in the distance, "Now is not the time." ”

"But Master! So when are we going to wait? The mandarin duck looked at Chu Huai's back with some disbelief, shouldn't Wen Mu be directly removed at this time, so that it is more like Chu Huai's style?

"You've been waiting for so many years, so why rush these months?"

"Master, you have no idea how tormenting it is for me to watch the two of them dangling in front of me every day."

"Mandarin ducks, you have to learn to be patient."

"Master, you don't understand anything!"

The mandarin duck threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground, and the tea in the cup splashed all over the ground, she didn't care about what Chu Huai said later, and directly closed the door and walked out of Chu's mansion.

"Well, it's really emotional."

……

When the mandarin duck returned to the palace, the sky was slowly white, and the corridors everywhere had begun to prepare for a new day.

She hurried back through the window to the cubicle in the dormitory, taking advantage of the fact that no one had noticed her.

Not long after the mandarin duck lay down on the bed, there was a commotion outside the door, and it was probably Xia Yuan and Wen Mo who got up.

Not long after his eyes were closed, there was a knock on the door.

The mandarin duck sighed in his heart, got up from the bed, opened the door, and what came into his eyes was Xia Yuan, who was already dressed but had an indifferent face.

"Your Majesty."

"If you wake up, come out quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as the mandarin duck raised his head, Xia Yuan's figure had already disappeared from his sight, leaving Wen Yuan alone and sitting in front of the bronze mirror to dress up.

The mandarin duck closed the door and lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling, waiting for Wen Mu to knock on his door again.

There was a loud "bang" that pulled back the mandarin duck's chaotic consciousness. She snapped open her eyes and looked in the direction of the door, but she didn't wait for a second sound.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong, maybe it was because of the sisters' hearts, and she had an ominous premonition, did something happen to Ah Yan?

The mandarin duck opened the door, and saw Wen Mu lying on his side on the ground, and the loud bang just now was the sound Wen Mu made when he fell to the ground.

The blood ran down her leg and left on the ground.

"Sister, save me......"

As soon as Wen Mu raised her eyes, she saw that the door of the cubicle had been opened, and the mandarin duck stood outside the door with cold eyes, which made her feel condescending for a moment. Sister, do you remember?

To be honest, Mandarin Duck didn't want to save her.

There was a voice in her head that kept telling her, so be it, just let Wen Mu fall here, don't care about her anymore, isn't the opportunity to get rid of Wen Mu just around the corner?

But then she thought that she had only been married into the palace for a few days, and she had lost her memory, if she let Xia Yuan know that she was obviously staying with Wen Mu, but did not save her, even the mandarin duck himself would definitely be executed by the current Xia Yuan.

Thinking of this, the mandarin duck instantly put on a panicked look, ran to Wen Muan's side, and held her in his arms, "Ah! Mother, what's wrong with you? There was a lot of blood. ”

"I ...... My stomach hurts, you ...... Go and call the emperor......" At this moment, Wen Mu was already angry, and his voice was almost imperceptible.

"Niangniang, it's cold on the ground, I'll help you lie on the bed first."

"You...... You're going to ......."

After the mandarin duck finally let Wen Mo lie on the bed, he ran out of the dormitory and shouted to the palace maids outside: "Oh no! Go find the Imperial Doctor! The queen has shed a lot of blood! ”

There was a commotion outside the dormitory, but the mandarin duck didn't want to pay attention to them, but ran straight out. Looking at the length of the shadow, she estimated that Xia Yuan should have gone to the imperial study to deal with the daily accumulation of government affairs.

She walked into the corridor and through the garden.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the door of the imperial study, he could hear the voice of Xia Yuan and Qin Han talking, and after only listening to three or two sentences, the mandarin duck roughly guessed that it was about the South China Sea.

"Your Majesty, the remnants of the South China Sea pirates have all been captured by the Imperial Forest Army and returned to the Imperial City."

"Well, I've worked hard for you, you can rest for a while when you come back this time, and don't worry about the affairs in the court for the time being."

"How can this be, I still have to protect the emperor!"

"It's okay, there are so many shadow guards around the palace, and no one in the palace dares to do anything to me."

"But I heard that the emperor, you also had a rare disease not long ago......"

"It's okay already, Brother Qin, you don't have to worry."

Looking from the window, you can only see Qin Han's silhouette, the side face looks more angular than the last time the mandarin duck saw him, and it is much more heroic, and the skin is tanned a healthy wheat color, which looks more mature and charming.

The mandarin duck stood outside the door for a while, then took a deep breath, put on that anxious look, quickly knocked on the door of the imperial study, and shouted, "Oh no! Your Majesty, the queen is about to give birth! Check it out! ”
