Chapter 652: Hot Potato
Although he had long known that the mysterious man had asked him to keep a child, Zhao Xiu didn't expect that it would be such a small baby! He didn't even open his eyes, and his sparse hair was still wet, apparently just raw.
God, if someone finds out and misunderstands such a small baby, won't her reputation be gone?
Others will definitely misunderstand that the child was born to her, otherwise how could she sneak and hide? What's more, she is pregnant with one in her womb, if it spreads, people in the world will guess what is going on, and she can't wash it when she jumps into the Yellow River!
"County Lord, what now?" Seeing that Zhao Xiu seemed to be stunned, Mingyue urged again.
Only then did she react, Zhao Xiu unwrapped the swaddling clothes with a look of disgust, the baby's little face was wrinkled, and she was asleep, like a red-skinned monkey, she suddenly took a step back and frowned: "It's ugly, take it far!" ”
It's annoying, but this baby was ordered by the man and must be taken care of. Zhao Xiu didn't dare to disobey, so he could only wait for him to appear again, and hoped that he would just take the child away.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xiu said: "Put the child on the bed, you go find a nurse to ......"
As soon as she said this, she changed her words again: "No, the nurse is not good, it will be troublesome if someone finds out, why don't you go get some cow milk and goat milk, get ready!" Also, don't be discovered, do you hear? ”
"It's the county master, the slave and maid will go." Mingyue nodded, hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Zhao Xiu was the only one left in the boudoir, and she paced back and forth in a sullen and anxious manner, without any sleepiness. It's been ugly for a moment, and there are still hours until dawn, is she going to stay with this child all night?
She is not married yet, but she didn't expect that one day she would have to help someone else take care of a baby, which is ridiculous! She is pregnant now, and she can only sneak around, no one dares to let anyone know except the prince, even her mother has to hide it, and when she sees this baby, she feels even more annoyed.
It's a pity that as a fish, Zhao Xiu has no choice.
was guessing who gave birth to this baby, when Zhao Xiu suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard outside the door: "Xiu'er, you ...... Haven't you slept yet? What's wrong? "It's her mother!
Immediately there was the sound of footsteps, and her mother Feng Shi had already walked to the door and knocked lightly: "Xiu'er, why are you still lighting the lamp so late, can't you sleep?" Mother came to see you......"
"Don't come in!"
Zhao Xiu suddenly refused in fright, and quickly lifted the quilt to cover the swaddling clothes.
Feng Shi outside was startled, and knocked on the door more urgently: "Xiu'er, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" Don't scare your mother, open the door, what's wrong with you? ”
A maid also shouted: "County Lord, open the door quickly......"
Zhao Xiu wanted to beat someone angrily, what is this damn maid doing with her blind coaxing?
Usually her mother never gets up at night, even if she gets up occasionally, she just goes to a clean room, how can she come to her? It's just bad luck! If her mother sees it, one more person will know that there will be more dangers, and maybe the things she did in private will be shaken out!
Absolutely not!
"Mother, I'm fine, don't come in!" Zhao Xiu said in a panic.
"No, you must have something, Xiu'er, open the door and let my mother come in." The Feng family outside didn't believe it at all.
"Mother-I said it's okay, I'm going to rest, don't make a fuss, okay?"
Feng Shi was even more worried, her daughter didn't sleep in the middle of the night, she must have something to hide from herself. Is it related to the crown prince? She immediately said: "Mother doesn't make trouble, mother just cares about you, Xiu'er, you open the door and let your mother come in to talk to you, if you are really fine, mother will leave immediately, and will never disturb you." ”
How could it be possible to let her mother in? Zhao Xiu was even more anxious, if she was seen this baby, she would simply want to die!
At this moment, there was another voice outside: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
As soon as he saw Mingyue coming in with something, Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed her: "What are you doing, what is this?" What's wrong with the county lord, is there something hidden from me? ”
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Feng's family, and Mingyue's heart was about to jump out. How dare she tell the truth, fortunately, her brain turned quickly, and she immediately said: "Madam, the county lord is fine, the slave maid is carrying cow's milk and giving it to the county lord to drink." ”
"Okay, what is the county lord doing drinking this thing in the middle of the night?"
Mingyue looked embarrassed to say it, and squirmed for a while before whispering: "Madam, the county lord...... That one came, and I wanted to drink some milk because I was not feeling well, so the slave maid ......"
Feng Shi was stunned, what is this?
The girl on the side understood and pulled Lafeng, and the latter reacted, so that this was the case?
No wonder my daughter didn't open the door, it turned out to be shy! It is estimated that the menstrual affair came suddenly, staining the clothes, pants and sheets, and I didn't dare to let people know, so I secretly ...... This girl, sure enough, is getting more and more shy, what is this kind of thing, even her mother is hidden, it's just ......
Feng Shi was immediately relieved, and patted the door with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiu'er, my mother knows, what's so shy about this kind of thing." Forget it, my mother won't come in, if you're not feeling well, go to bed early, don't stay up late, you know? ”
Mingyue hurriedly said: "Madam, the slave will take care of the county lord." ”
Zhao Xiu urged through the door: "Mother, I'm fine, you go back quickly." ”
When Feng left, she opened the door and let Mingyue in, and the master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.
Lifting the quilt, Zhao Xiu looked at the baby who was still sleeping in the swaddling clothes, patted his heart, and his face was gloomy. It's all to blame for this baby, she was almost discovered, and if she ruined her reputation, she really wanted to die. Now is the critical time when she is about to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she must not make any rumors, otherwise her previous achievements will be wasted, and she will end up worrying.
Suddenly, the sleeping baby suddenly pouted, as if it was about to wake up.
"Oops!" Zhao Xiu was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, the baby's small mouth moved, and he snorted a few times, and Zhao Xiu suddenly panicked: "Wake up, what should I do, can't let him cry!" "It's the middle of the night, in the dead of night, and if a baby's cry comes from her room, it will definitely startle the others, so it's worth it!
Mingyue also panicked, and simply reached out to cover the little baby's mouth, but the little baby was stimulated by the outside world and was about to cry when he opened his mouth. Wow, like a cloud breaking through the sky, Mingyue's eyes were about to turn red, and she covered the baby's mouth and stopped his crying abruptly.
It was very uncomfortable, but the little baby couldn't cry, and it couldn't struggle with instinct, and his face turned red suddenly. But Zhao Xiu was unmoved, and kept roaring: "Cover it, cover it for me!" Don't let him cry, or it's all over......"
Mingyue also panicked, forgetting everything, and getting harder and harder in her hands. Seeing that the little baby was about to be suffocated by the two of them, suddenly an angry voice sounded: "Get out!" ”
It was like the night wind blowing, and the sound was like the sound of evil ghosts from hell, which made Zhao Xiu and the others shudder and shake their backs. Before they could see clearly, there was an extra man in the room, who brushed the two of them away and took the little baby on the bed in his arms.
"If he dies, you will all be buried together!"
With a gloomy voice, Zhao Xiu saw clearly that the terrifying mysterious man had reappeared.
It was always like this, coming and going without a trace, and she couldn't see how he appeared at all, as if he would appear next to her at any moment, watching her every move. This time, he didn't have a mask, and there was an extra black mask on his face, which made him even more gloomy. Two dark pupils flickered with murderous intent, as if they would take her life at any moment.
The man didn't know how to hold the baby before his crying stopped. Glancing at Zhao Xiu coldly, he said sharply: "If I come a little late, you will bring disaster to your Wuyang Palace." There is not enough success and more than failure, and women really can't hold their breath. ”
She was threatened like this, how could she still hold her breath?
Zhao Xiu said that he was suffering, and he didn't dare to argue with this mysterious man at all, but fortunately, the man saw that the baby was fine, so he didn't say anything, and put the swaddling clothes on the bed: "Go find a nurse immediately, and when you wake up, you will feed well, as long as he is full, he will naturally not make trouble, you don't understand this, how do you become a woman?" ”
He glanced at Zhao Xiu's lower abdomen, and the latter suddenly felt like he had been stripped naked, and he felt uncomfortable. But she just covered it up, didn't dare to complain, and said hesitantly: "I...... I haven't had a child with me, so how do I know he's going to cry? What do you want from you? I really won't take a child, if there is an extra nurse, in case my father finds out......"
"That's your business, I don't care!"
The man replied sadly: "Anyway, during this time, this baby will be fostered by you, if someone finds out and spreads it, I will do what I say, it will make you worse than dead!" ”
Zhao Xiu suddenly shuddered, she thought of this man's threat, to strip her naked and drop her on the city gate, and be visited by countless people, if there is such an end, she will not be able to get rid of it when she dies, and it will make the Zhao family ashamed for ten thousand years.
It's scary, this man!
Anxious tears flowed out, Zhao Xiu nodded and cried: "I know, I won't, I won't, I won't let people find out......"
"That's good! Got it? ”
The man praised it, but instead of being relieved, Zhao Xiu was even more frightened. She couldn't figure out why this man wanted to get her a baby, she still had one in her belly that she couldn't handle, and she could barely explain it until she got married in a month's time. Can ...... now
Ignoring Zhao Xiu's eagerness, the man suddenly looked at her and said meaningfully, "Do you know whose child this child is?" ”
Whose? Zhao Xiucai didn't care who it was, he just wanted to get rid of this hot potato quickly.
But she could only follow the man's words and cautiously ask, "Who's?" ”
"Princess Chu, Luo Qingluan's child!"
A touch of pride flashed in the man's eyes, and his tone became happy: "Hehe, this child is the child that Luo Qingluan just gave birth to, and now she is afraid that the whole world is looking for this child, but no matter how smart she is, she will never think that her child is here with you." ”
What the? Luo Qingluan's child? Zhao Xiu almost fainted!
