Chapter 146: Defenseless
Wanqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and now that she is pregnant in August, Wanqing's body has become a little bloated, Chunying and Mama Feng are supporting Wanqing to take a walk in the imperial garden.
"Princess, be careful."
Wanqing's face was filled with a happy smile, and the bigger her belly, the more she looked forward to the birth of this child in her heart.
"Princess, look at the flowers in the garden, and it makes people feel good when they see it."
Mama Feng pointed to the flower-filled scenery in the garden.
Wanqing looked in the direction that Mama Feng was pointing, just as Mama Feng said, looking at the flowers competing for beauty, her mood was much more comfortable, Wanqing narrowed her eyes, and a figure walked into her sight, she was facing the sun, and she couldn't see who the person he was coming to be.
Wanqing raised her hand to block the sun, and a woman's figure appeared in front of her, Wanqing saw the appearance of the person who came clearly, and Wanqing naturally recognized this woman, that was Concubine Ling.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Concubine Ling's eyes moved to Wanqing's belly, it seemed that there would be a kind of motherhood in every woman, Concubine Ling raised her hand to touch Wanqing's bulging abdomen,
Wanqing didn't dodge, because from her eyes, Wanqing could see that she was still the same person, and nothing had changed.
Concubine Ling gently stroked Wanqing's belly, as if she felt the movements of the child inside, and the smile on her face became more gentle, as if the child in her womb was her own.
"The little one is coming out soon."
Concubine Ling withdrew her hand and asked with concern,
"Well, he's going to be here in two months."
Wanqing smiled and touched her abdomen, as if there was nothing more important than him in this world.
"Yes, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse when I come to this world, and in the face of deceit, how can this young heart bear it?"
said, Concubine Ling sighed lightly.
"His fate is destined to be in this deep palace, so why should we worry about him too much."
Wanqing knew that her child would be as strong as her. No matter what difficulties you face, you must be strong and hold on.
Concubine Ling smiled with relief, who can control her own destiny.
"Sister, I see that the complexion on your face is a little bad, is it because you are not resting?"
Wan Qing looked at Concubine Ling's face and found that her face was obviously tired, and in order to cover her face without resting, the powder on her face today was too thick.
Concubine Ling smiled bitterly and shook her head,
"Not really, maybe I'm too tired today, just rest and rest."
Concubine Ling listened to what Wanqing said, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face, is her complexion really ugly?
"Is there something on my sister's mind? If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it, maybe I can help you. ”
Concubine Ling shook her head, didn't say anything, and found a bunch of excuses to perfunctory Wanqing, Wanqing saw that Concubine Ling didn't want to say that she didn't want to say that she didn't want to ask too much.
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and Concubine Ling found some reasons to go back first.
Wanqing is also a little tired, the scenery of the garden is beautiful, she can't stand it anymore, her body no longer allows her to be overworked.
Wanqing turned and walked towards the dormitory, not noticing a cold gaze from the corner of the garden towards her.
Wanqing walked a few steps before she felt someone staring at her not far from the Imperial Garden, and she looked back at the source of her gaze, but found that there was nothing.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, Chun Ying looked in the direction of the place Wan Qing was looking at, but found nothing.
"It's nothing, let's go back."
Wanqing turned her head and went back with Mama Feng and Chunying.
The person in the corner trembled a little, but fortunately he was not noticed by the princess, and he looked up again, and the princess's figure was no longer there.
Now that the princess had returned to the palace, there was no need for him to continue to monitor here, so he turned and left.
Wanqing returned to the dormitory, leaning on the bed, her body was getting weaker and weaker, and the child in her womb had no name, I don't know what kind of name he would like.
"Mama, this palace is hungry, go and tell the kitchen to make some food."
Mama Feng respectfully withdrew, since the princess began to doubt her identity last time, the personal matter was handed over to Chunying, and he no longer dared to do anything that made the princess suspicious.
The palace maid Chunying heard Mama Feng's footsteps getting farther and farther away, so she took out a note from her sleeve and put it in front of Wanqing, Wanqing lazily opened her eyes and unfolded the note, there were a few words written in the letter, start to act, be careful in everything!
Wanqing tore the note and threw it on the ground,
"Chunying, where did you get this note?"
Wanqing would receive such a note from time to time, he had been sending it for so long, every time the enemy moved, he would notify himself with a note first, so that Wanqing would avoid a lot of trouble, Wanqing couldn't guess who this person who helped him would be.
Chunying respectfully came to Wanqing's side, lowered her eyes and respectfully,
"Back to the princess, the note was still found in the original place, it has been a long time since the note was received, and now the other party suddenly has a move, princess, what do you say they will do?"
Wanqing is also curious, what method they changed this time, no matter what method it is, she has to protect the safety of the child, and she even tries to minimize the food she eats, so as not to prevent poison from entering her mouth.
"I'm afraid I'll find out soon."
Wan Qing knew that there were only three people in this deep palace, who would attack him except for the other two? And these two people may have the opportunity to attack themselves, the prince can understand, but what about the empress? Didn't she say she was her daughter? Why do you want to harm yourself?
Mama Feng walked in with the things prepared in the kitchen.
Chunying helped Wanqing get up from the bed, she helped Wanqing to the table and sat down,
Watching Mama Feng put the pastries on the table, Wanqing felt that today's pastries were very novel, and they seemed to be different from those made in the past.
Wanqing looked up at Mama Feng and asked,
"Has the cook changed? How is it different from the past? ”
"Yes, princess, the old cook has gone home on leave, so today's pastry is made by the new chef, you can taste it to your liking, and if you don't like it, the old slave will let him change it to something else."
Wanqing picked up the pastry and wanted to taste it, but the hand that stopped at her mouth never moved, and then the hand holding the pastry was put down again, she put the pastry on the plate, and said to Chunying,
"Chunying."
Chun Ying naturally knew what the princess meant, she took out a silver needle and tried it on each pastry, but she didn't find it poisonous.
Wanqing picked up the pastry again with confidence, but when the pastry was put to her mouth, she always felt a faint illusion that she couldn't eat it.
Chunying and Mama Feng looked at Wanqing's hand holding the pastry and stopped at her mouth again, and couldn't help but wonder, didn't she experience poison just now!?
Wanqing never ate this pastry, she stretched out her hand in front of Chunying,
"Give the silver needle to Hongu."
Wanqing took the silver needle in Mo'er's hand, and held the pastry in the other hand, she carefully observed the pastry, which was a little different from what she usually ate, she inserted the silver needle into the color around the pastry, and the silver needle instantly turned black.
Wanqing threw all the silver needles and pastries on the table, her eyes were full of anger, Wanqing didn't want to see red, but now they are bullying people too much, she doesn't do something, is she really a soft persimmon?
"The new cook called this palace, and this palace wants to see who gave him the guts!"
Before Mama Feng could recover from her fright, when he heard the princess's cold voice, he came back to his senses and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
Soon, the new cook was brought in by Mama Feng. Mama Feng threw the cook on the ground with one hand, the cook snorted, got up from the ground, and saw the princess opposite, he pounced and knelt on the ground,
"Minion, I've seen the princess."
Wan Qing looked coldly at the cook who was kneeling on the ground, and threw the pastries on the table in front of him,
"Why don't you taste it yourself!?"
The cook, who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face, said,
"Princess, if you don't like it, then the slave will make you something else."
The cook still doesn't seem to see where the point is.
"Tell me honestly! Spare you from dying! ”
Chunying pointed to the cook who was kneeling on the ground and scolded,
The cook was startled by Chunying's voice, but he still looked like he didn't admit it.
"It's okay if you don't admit it, come, let him try his craft."
