Mama Li was indeed worried that Duan Nianyun would harm the child in Yan Lingyue's belly. She glanced at Duan Nianyun vigilantly and protected Yan Lingyue behind her.

"What the hell do you mean?" Duan Nianyun's suppressed temperament exploded, pointing at Mama Li's nose and about to slap her.

Li Shi grabbed Duan Nianyun's arm in time, and then looked at Mama Li's face, which was also a little bad, "I know, it is said that Mama Li is loyal to the Lord." I don't know, I thought that Mama Li didn't have any rules, and she climbed to the master's head. ”

No matter what the Li family said, Mama Li stood in front of Yan Lingyue and just didn't move.

Yan Lingyue smiled, touched her belly, and said to the Li family, "Mama is also the protector, if you make Madame unhappy, Yue'er is here to make a complaint, I hope Madame doesn't mind." ”

Duan Nianyun snorted coldly, and was about to say something, but was stopped by the Li family, "The courtiers and Nianyun still have some things to do, so I won't bother the Nine Emperors, and I will leave first." ”

"Madame, go slowly," Yan Lingyue smiled slightly, and watched Li and Duan Nianyun get into the carriage.

"Miss, are we going to woodcarving fast?" Mama Li asked.

was tossed by Duan Nianyun like this, how could he still be in the mood to go to woodcarving. Yan Lingyue shook her head, got into the carriage with Mama Li, and returned to the palace.

When passing through the Imperial Garden, she saw that the trees had sprouted, Yan Lingyue suddenly became aware of it, and took Mama Li to the Imperial Garden.

Because it was almost noon, everyone basically had lunch in their own rooms, and there was no one in the Imperial Garden. Yan Lingyue and Mama Li walked farther and farther along the tree-lined path, and finally came to a rockery.

Yan Lingyue patted the stones on the rockery, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard the sound of shoveling soil from behind the rockery, Yan Lingyue frowned, and signaled Mama Li not to make a move, and the two saw two little eunuchs digging holes through the cracks in the rockery.

There was also a physician standing next to him, holding an altar in his arms, constantly urging them, "Hurry up, don't be discovered." ”

Yan Lingyue and Mama Li glanced at each other, and the two watched as the imperial doctor put the jar into the dug hole, buried it with soil with the two little eunuchs, and put two rocks on it to make sure that no one would find it before leaving.

It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared that Yan Lingyue pulled Mama Li out of the rockery.

"Isn't that Imperial Doctor Zhu who is serving by King Zhou's side? What are they burying in the sly? Mama Li kicked the two big rocks with her foot.

Yan Lingyue said, "It's not easy to know what is buried, let's just move the stone away." Yan Lingyue said, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to move stones.

Seeing this, Mama Li hurriedly stopped her, "Stop, just move it." ”

Mama Li pushed Yan Lingyue far away, tried her best, and her hand cut a layer of skin before removing the stone.

Yan Lingyue didn't say a word, she squatted down and held the soil aside. The two joined forces, and after a while, the jar was revealed.

Mama Li was worried that something bad would happen, so she once again asked Yan Lingyue to take two steps back before lifting the lid of the jar. Suddenly, there was a strong smell of medicine, filling people's sense of smell.

Yan Lingyue coughed lightly twice and covered her nose and mouth.

Mama Li looked closer, turned her head to Yan Lingyue and said, "Miss, this is a jar of medicine residue." ”

Residue? Yan Lingyue took a closer look, wasn't it a big jar full of medicinal residues?

Mama Li covered the jar with some disgust, and muttered, "This Imperial Doctor Zhu is really, and dealing with a medicine residue is so mysterious, as for it?" ”

"But isn't this Imperial Doctor Zhu specifically for Wang Shang to regulate his body? I haven't heard that the king is not feeling well recently? Mama Li said as she held the soil to bury the jar.

But it was Mama Li's muttering that reminded Yan Lingyue, "Slow! Yan Lingyue took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Mama Li, "Mama, you use a silk handkerchief to wrap some medicinal residues out." ”

"Miss, what do you want this for?" Although Mama Li had doubts, she honestly lifted the lid of the jar again, endured the nausea, took out two handfuls of medicinal residue, and wrapped them in silk handkerchiefs.

"Put it away, don't be discovered," Yan Lingyue looked around, buried the jar with Mama Li, and covered the two large stones on it.

"When you have time, you can let Xia Bi sneak out of the palace and send this medicine residue to Wang Lao Jushi, so that he can check what medicinal properties these medicine residues have," Yan Lingyue commanded in a low voice.

Mama Li nodded again and again.

When the two of them returned to Ming Hanxuan leisurely, it was past lunch. After Mama Li explained the matter to Xia Bi, Qiu Shuang and the others brought the meal.

After simply drinking some soup and eating two more bites of rice, Yan Lingyue put down her chopsticks.

"Isn't it unappetizing?" Mama Li said with concern, "Is there anything you want to eat?" Mama immediately asked the kitchen to do it. ”

Yan Lingyue waved her hand, wiped her mouth clean, and stood up.

Dong Ling hurriedly withdrew the food and brought a lot of snacks that Yan Lingyue liked to eat. However, Yan Lingyue didn't look at it, so she turned around and walked towards the bed.

Mama Li waited for Yan Lingyue to take off her coat and helped her to the bed.

Yan Lingyue said, "Ran with me all morning, Mama is also tired, go and rest." ”

Seeing Yan Lingyue's tired face, Mama Li helped Yan Lingyue close the bed curtain, and said at the same time, "I'm just guarding outside, if something happens to Miss, I have to call Mama quickly." ”

With a "click", the door of the room was slammed shut. There was silence in the room, and Yan Lingyue, who was quiet, could hear her heartbeat.

Closing her eyes and stroking her stomach, Yan Lingyue's mind conjured Duan Nianyun's ruddy little face and her words. It turned out that that night, when Zhou Ziyu set off for the northwest, Duan Nianyun went to see him off.

I don't know why, thinking of this, Yan Lingyue suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

The night Zhou Ziyu left, since he woke her up, he must have wanted to talk to her, ask her to help pack his clothes, and then send him out of the city. But she rolled over and went back to sleep.

Zhou Ziyu must have been disappointed with her attitude that night, right?

In the past few days, Yan Lingyue has been suppressing herself, not letting herself think so much, she thought that she really didn't care anymore, but she didn't expect Duan Nianyun's words to hook up all the emotions in her heart.

She kept saying that she wanted to calm down and cool her heart, but in fact, she couldn't do it at all. She has been deceiving herself all the time, and her very painful heart tells her that she really misses Zhou Ziyu. She really regretted that she couldn't hug Zhou Ziyu's neck that night.

I don't know where Zhou Ziyu has gone at this moment? Yan Lingyue thought about it, and tears fell.

At that moment, she felt her belly bulge strongly. Yan Lingyue was stunned, her hand carefully stroked her stomach, and she was kicked again.

Yan Lingyue cried and laughed again, "Say, are you the same as your mother, and you miss your father?" ”

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Ziyu had been gone for a month, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived in the northwest.

Yan Lingyue's body is also seven months old, and her belly is like a balloon, getting bigger and bigger day by day. If there was nothing particularly important, she would almost not leave the palace, and Queen Xiao would also exempt her from asking for peace.

Every day, in addition to eating, it is to sleep, or to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden accompanied by Mama Li and Qiushuang and others.

I don't know if it's because Yan Lingyue is pregnant, Zhou Xiangjun is not as arrogant as before when he meets Yan Lingyue again. Of course, the attitude is not much better.

Don't look at Yan Lingyue's calm life on the surface, in fact, her heart is not calm at all. Because the residue that was checked by Mr. Wang came out, saying that it contained highly poisonous.

If a normal person takes these medicines, it won't be long before they die. However, there is also a possibility that the person who drinks these drugs has a serious illness himself. Drinking these medicines is to fight poison with poison and cure diseases. But from any point of view, it is enough to prove that this person's physical condition is extremely poor.

And these medicinal residues are from the hands of Imperial Physician Zhu, so the person who drinks this medicine is almost certainly King Zhou.

With Imperial Physician Zhu's usual personality and performance, he didn't have the courage to join forces with anyone to murder King Zhou. The only possibility is that King Zhou is seriously ill!

As soon as she thought of this, Yan Lingyue was excited, and of course she also told Wang Lao Jushi about these speculations. What Mr. Wang meant was that when the good news came back from the northwest, let her pretend to inadvertently leak the news to Zhou Ziqin.

Originally, Yan Lingyue was still a little suspicious that it was Zhou Ziqin who harmed Zhou Ziyu in the first place, and whether it was Zhou Ziqin who drugged Zhou Ziyu and King Zhou in Luoshan. But when Mr. Wang asked her to pass on the news to Zhou Ziqin, she was basically sure that Zhou Ziqin was the culprit.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziqin, who is giggling, hanging, and seemingly heartless on weekdays, is actually the most urban. If Zhou Ziyu did not survive the siege and fell off the cliff at that time, then Zhou Ziqin was afraid that he would have become the prince. If she didn't shout Duan Minghong to find Zhou Ziyu when she was in Yangzhou, she was afraid that Zhou Ziyu and King Zhou would have had an accident, and Zhou Ziqin would have taken the throne.

After careful analysis, the ultimate beneficiary of every accident seems to be Zhou Ziqin.

The second prince, Zhou Zichang, is just a substitute for the dead.

Old Monk Wang's plan, Yan Lingyue also knew. If the northwest sends back good news, it means that Zhou Ziyu has made meritorious contributions, and with his status as a prince, coupled with military merits, he will inevitably become the crown prince.

Zhou Ziqin planned so much, just to inherit the throne. How can he be willing to let Zhou Ziyu become the crown prince, he will definitely be impatient at that time. If at this time, let him know that King Zhou is seriously ill, then the result is obvious, it is to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne!
