In an instant, the entire Rong'en Pavilion fell into a deep silence.

Concubine An was still lazily leaning on the beauty, lowering her eyelids, the smile on her face was faintly revealing a little cold and a little meaningful; her eyes flickered slightly, she took Xue Xi's hand and patted it gently, and poked Xue Xi's forehead with her other hand angrily, her voice was full of disgust, "Madam knows that you have always been a good child, but you are kind at heart, and others may not think the same as you." You're ......."

"Madam, I, I'm just ......" Xue Xi lowered his head when he heard this, but his originally clear eyes quickly flashed a fierce color.

"Okay!" Concubine An patted Xue Xi's hand gently, but her eyes were always fixed on Xue Xi's lower abdomen; "Madame knows that you are for Rui'er." It's a pity that Rui'er's child was blinded by lard and couldn't see your good, ......hey!

Xue Xi didn't wait for Concubine An to finish speaking, only to feel that her heart had already risen to her throat, her thin lips pursed, and she hurriedly interrupted Concubine An's words, "What are you talking about, madam! Brother Rui has a deep love for Miss Gu, and he can't extricate himself for a long time. If, if Miss Gu really has something that is long and short, what will you do if you let Brother Rui?"

"You!" Concubine An exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, her tone was a little sighing, she took Xue Xi's hand, so softly, looked at her, but her eyes were very dark and dark, "If you want something next to you, Madame, I really can't take it, but this snow lingzhi, there is still half a piece left when I used it last time, if you like it, you can take it." ”

"......" Xue Xi's face suddenly sank when he heard this, his face that was originally a little happy suddenly sank, his heart hung tightly, and there was still a little doubt in his eyes. She tried so hard to mention Gu Jinxi's body in front of Concubine An, did she really not have the slightest reaction? Xue Lingzhi gave it to herself, not to mention only half of it, even if it was given to Gu Jinxi as a whole, it was estimated that it would only be pressed to the bottom of the box, so what was the use. Thinking of this, her eyes sank, with a little calmness, but her tone was still light, with a gentleness like a spring breeze in March, "Madam, you also know that there has always been a gap between Miss Gu and Xi'er. Speaking of this, it seemed that even she felt a little embarrassed, and the smile on her face was sneering, "I was ignorant before, so I did a lot of things that made Brother Rui and Miss Gu unhappy." If this snow lingzhi was sent by Xi'er, then ......"

How could Concubine An not understand the meaning of Xue Xi's words, she just raised her eyelids, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "You always think about others, when you think about yourself, think about the child in your belly." ”

"I'm fine, really, Madame doesn't have to worry about Xi'er. Xue Xi lowered his head, and his voice was soft.

"Okay, okay, I know, this is Rui'er's filial piety to me, I can't use it myself, it's cheap Gu Jinxi." Concubine An said, and said angrily, "Someone!"

Mama Zhang, who had been waiting by the door, heard the sound, and immediately pushed the door into the house, her face was calm and serious, she always bowed her body and didn't even dare to raise her head, and even her voice seemed to tremble a little, "See the concubine!"

"Take the half of the snow lingzhi in my room and tell the kitchen to stew, and then ask someone to send it to Miss Gu in Wuyuan. The expression on Concubine An's face never changed, "Anyway, Miss Gu is Rui'er's future princess, I heard that she has been in poor health recently, and I, the future mother-in-law, should be concerned no matter what." ”

"Yes!" Mama Zhang hurriedly replied respectfully.

It wasn't until Mama Zhang took the things and exited the door that Xue Xi took Concubine An's hand with a full smile on her face, "Madam, Xi'er knows that you are the best." "No matter how Gu Jinxi is, she doesn't dare to refuse what Concubine An personally sent over, hmph, even if you are Princess Xia Liang, what if you don't eat it, it's what you have leftovers. To Gu Jinxi, she naturally wanted to, very much, but she would not do it, her main thing now is to give birth to this child safely, as long as this is enough, it is enough to lead Gu Jinxi. What if she is the princess, the eldest son is also from herself. What's more, there are a lot of people who don't like Gu Jinxi, if someone else does it, then it's no wonder that she is, hehe. Thinking of this, her face was already a little tired, her pink lips opened and closed slightly, and she yawned.

Seeing this, Concubine An glared at Xue Xi angrily, "If you feel tired, go back to the room and rest; really, you are still restless with a big belly; your filial piety, Madame understands it, as long as you can give birth to Madame's little good grandson peacefully, it is the greatest filial piety to Madame!"

"Madam!" Xue Xi lowered his head when he heard this, his lips pursed slightly, and he seemed to have a bit of shyness and hatred.

"Alright, let's go back to our room and rest. Concubine An said and took Xue Xi's hand and patted her gently, glaring at her angrily, "Take good care of your aunt, if Xi'er makes a mistake, then Mrs. Ben and your sister are asking!"

When Mei Hong heard this, she quickly lowered her head, and a dark color quickly crossed her eyes, but her voice was still very humble, "Yes!"

"Madam, don't worry, Mei Hong and Mei Xiang are still very good to Xi'er. The smile on Xue Xi's face was faint, and she let Mei Hong support her, holding her lower abdomen with one hand, and she did feel a little unbearable for the smell that permeated the Rong En Pavilion, she took a deep breath and forcibly endured the nausea that flooded her throat, and said to Concubine An with a light smile, "If Madam has nothing else to do, then Xi'er will retire first." ”

"Well, let's go!" The smile on Concubine An's face was shallow, and her tone was still gentle, but the half-squinted eyes, staring at the back of Xue Xi's departure, the meaningful smile on her face was getting deeper and thicker.

As soon as he came out of Rong En Pavilion, Xue Xi couldn't help covering his lips anymore, lying on the fence of the corridor next to him, vomiting so much that he felt as if he was about to faint, "Vomit, vomit—"

"Auntie, are you okay, Auntie?" Mei Hong's eyes were a little anxious, and her tone was hurried.

"No, it's okay...... "Xue Xigang raised his head and said two words, but he couldn't help but vomit on the railing; until he felt that his lower abdomen was a little painful, and then he felt a little better; he took the handkerchief handed by Mei Hong and wiped his mouth, and took a sour plum in his mouth, which was finally a little better. She took a deep breath, thinking of the taste in the Rong En Pavilion just now, and the doubts in her eyes became more and more full.

Go back to your room.

Xue Hai was already waiting there, and when he saw Xue Xi's red eyes, he hurriedly greeted him, his eyes were full of worry, and he held Xue Xi's arm, "Xi'er, where have you been?"

"Brother, don't worry, it's not a big deal. The smile on Xue Xi's face was very faint, but as soon as the words fell, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to Mei Hong and Mei Xiang and said, "I feel a little hungry, you go to the kitchen to get me some refreshing side dishes, and then prepare some dishes that my brother likes to eat, it's not early, my brother will have lunch here." ”

Mei Hong and Mei Xiang glanced at each other, and then left the room after responding respectfully.

Xue Hai had a full puzzle on his face, "Xi'er, you ...... What the hell is going on?" is her sister, who knows enough about Xue Xi's temperament, and only needs her to know what she wants to say with a look.

"Brother, I'm ......" Xue Xi didn't know what to say, but he felt that something was wrong, and sat sideways on the soft couch, with full doubts on his face. Raising his head and looking at Xue Hai, "You, have you noticed anything unusual about Rong En Pavilion recently?"

"Huh?" As soon as the words fell, Xue Hai's face immediately appeared with a look of disbelief, his heart had already hung in his throat, and he seemed to be a little excited; the news he had found out last time had not yet had time to tell Gu Jinxi; if something happened again this time, we could find an opportunity to tell her together. For Gu Jinxi, the others are nothing, but in the end, his own handle falls into the hands of others, not for himself, even for Xue Xi, he has to do his best to plan for Gu Jinxi. His eyes were full of doubts, but his tone was light and light, "Rong En Pavilion? Unusual place? There have been too many things in the house recently, but I haven't paid much attention to it, what's wrong?"

Xue Xi listened to his words, but the doubts in her eyes became stronger and stronger, could it really be that she was thinking too much? No, impossible, that smell was really too strong, and she was sure that the smell must be related to Concubine An, after all, the smell emanating from her body, as well as the sheet that Mama was holding, was particularly strong. That kind of taste is like, it's like every time Brother Rui asks for himself fiercely, but...... But the taste is not so strong, and it is not so fishy.

"Xi'er?Xi'er?" Looking at Xue Xi's stunned expression, Xue Hai gently tugged at her sleeve.

"Huh?" Xue Xi came back to his senses, his expression seemed to be a little flustered.

Seeing this, Xue Hai's doubts became deeper and deeper, and the worry on his face became more and more intense, and he grabbed Xue Xi's hand unconsciously and slightly forced, lowered his eyelids, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible, "Xi'er, have you found something?"

"No, brother, I ......" Xue Xi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, knowing in his heart that some words were not suitable for speaking, but if he didn't say it, his heart was uncomfortable. Raising her head to look at Xue Hai in front of her, she took a deep breath and pursed her lips with difficulty, "Brother, don't tell anyone about it, I'...... I ......"

"Silly girl, my brother knows how to measure. Xue Hai raised his hand and gently rubbed Xue Xi's hair.

Xue Xi listened, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally let go a little; the whole person was on the soft couch, his tone was a little cautious, and with a little fear, he muttered the doubts in his heart; but when it came to the last matter of the sexual intercourse between men and women, he only felt that his cheeks were red and hot, and his voice was like a mosquito calling, but in the end, Xue Hai still heard it clearly, and his heart was hanging in his throat, and his eyes were even full of disbelief, and his throat slid and swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and he lowered his head to look at Xue Xi, and confirmed his mouth again, He only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, "Xi'er, you, you mean to say that the concubine Niangniang her, she ......"

"This, I, I don't know. Xue Xi kept her head down so that people couldn't see the expression on her face, just pressing the action of constantly shaking her head, and her dim tone could make people feel the hesitation and sadness in her heart at the moment, "Maybe, maybe it's really me who feels wrong." But even if she said this, the smell was so strong that it even made her nauseous and vomit a few times, how could it feel wrong, but no matter what, she couldn't believe that the person she had always respected, who was a mother, and who was feared as a god, would, would......

"Well, maybe it's really you feeling wrong. Looking at Xue Xi's helpless and pale face, Xue Hai only felt distressed to the bones, raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, and the smile on his face was faint, "Don't think too much." It's not that you're hungry, you can sleep well after lunch, and you will wake up with nothing to do. ”

Xue Xi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, took a deep breath, and nodded very seriously, "Hmm!"

"......" lowered his eyes, looking at Xue Xi who was leaning on the soft couch, his petite body trembled slightly, the hand hanging down his side clenched his fist gently, and then forced himself to let go, and resisted the urge to take people into his arms and take care of them. After thinking about it, but before he could say anything, he heard the hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the little girl's voice was a little low and a little anxious, "Steward Xue, the concubine Niangniang ordered, let you personally bring someone to send this cup of snow lingzhi soup to Miss Gu in Wuyuan!"

Following the sound, I saw that the little guy was carrying a delicate red lacquered nanmu painted white orchid food box, followed by two maids, although he couldn't name him, but he knew that it was the person from Rong Enge who was dressed by looking at it.

His eyes fell on the food box handed over by the little servant, Xue Hai still had some doubts in his eyes, and turned his head to look at Xue Xi, why didn't she tell herself about this just now. Concubine An has never liked Gu Jinxi very much, how could she suddenly want to send soup to Gu Jinxi for no reason, this is also a little unusual, but this is okay, he is still worried that he can't find a chance to go to Wuyuan to find Gu Jinxi, this is an unusual place for Concubine An, he also has time to talk to Gu Jinxi.

Thinking like this, Xue Hai nodded, "Okay, I'm tired of returning to the concubine, just say that Xue Hai will send the things over later." As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to take the food box from the little girl's hand, but he heard Xue Xi sitting on the soft couch exclaim, "Brother!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" although there were doubts on his lips, his heart sank, and a touch of realization quickly crossed his heart. It seems that Xi'er really knows about this matter, so this cup of soup doesn't seem to be so simple; lowered her eyelids, retracted her outstretched hand, and looked at Xue Xi very seriously, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, the little girl's eyes suddenly sank, "Steward Xue, the concubine said that this snow lingzhi soup needs to be drunk while it is hot, if this delays the time, the soup will be cold and weak, and the small ones can't afford it." ”

"Does the concubine have any other instructions?" Xue Hai's face was leisurely, his tone was neither salty nor light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"......" The little guy was still thinking about how to urge Xue Hai, after all, this was ordered by the concubine Niangniang herself, and it must be done, but if there is a little mistake, he can't afford this responsibility;

Xue Hai lowered his head, and the smile on his face was faint, "Since it was ordered by the concubine Niangniang herself, in order to avoid mistakes, please come with me!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Xue Xi and said, "Sister, if you are not in good health, you can rest in the room, my brother will go to Wuyuan first, and I will come back to see you later, huh?"

"Uh......" Xue Xi suddenly only felt that his heart was hanging in his throat, his thin lips pursed, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Okay!" Since Madam dared to do this, she probably wouldn't have done anything to Gu Jinxi openly, thinking like this, her heart couldn't help but let go a little more. Just looking at Xue Hai's back, he couldn't let go of his heart.

The little guy carrying the food box was obviously stunned, looking at Xue Hai's meaningful appearance, "Steward Xue, this is ...... Rong En Pavilion still has a lot of small things to do, look at this...... Isn't it ......" said, raising the food box in his hand towards Xue Hai, and the range of action was too small, after all, the soup cup was no better than others, if this soup really came out, his responsibility would be great.

"Do you have more things to do than mine?" Seeing this, Xue Hai suddenly showed a meaningful smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on his face was very faint, and he lowered his head, "What's more, since this is arranged by the concubine Niangniang, then you have to be a witness, I don't dare to make the decision without permission, if the concubine Niangniang is to blame, I can't afford this responsibility." ”

When the little guy heard this, he immediately felt that all the words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, and his face turned red by Xue Hai. Although they are just subordinates, they have also heard about the disagreement between the little aunt and grandmother of the Gu family in Wuyuan and their own concubine. Today, I don't know how the concubine remembered to send soup to the little aunt and grandmother, and you can think of the reaction of the little aunt with your toes......

"If there is nothing else, then let's go!" The smile on Xue Hai's face was not salty or light.

"Yes!" the little girl pursed his lips slightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Since it was Steward Xue who took the lead, he was just a small subordinate, no matter what, Miss Gu should not be angry with him, thinking like this, his heart relaxed a little, and he turned his head to look at the two maids who had been with him since he went out, "That Danzhu and Danyun ......"

The smile on Xue Hai's face was very shallow, "Since that's the case, let's all go together." Akang, prepare the car immediately!"

"Yes!" Akon nodded in response, running as fast as the soles of his feet,

蘅芜苑, shallow pavilion.

Gu Jinxi didn't even look at the soup, the smile on his face was always faint, and he didn't say a word; he only felt angry and anxious when he saw that little guy, but in the end, taking care of Gu Jinxi's identity, he still pressed his identity, but his tone was very unkind, "Miss Gu, this is what our concubine Niangniang personally ordered the kitchen to stew with snow lingzhi, not to mention how rare this snow lingzhi is, no matter what, it is a piece of the concubine's mind, you are like this, I'm afraid it's not very good?"

"Mind, I'm sorry!" Banxia snorted angrily.

"You ......" The little girl's face immediately turned to the extreme, and he glared at Banxia viciously, "How can you talk to your young lady to interject!"

Banxia's complexion sank in an instant, Bei Yan bit his lower lip tightly, and both eyes were already round. Just without waiting for her to speak, Gu Jinxi laughed softly, raised her head and looked at Xue Hai, "If this is the etiquette of your Regent Palace, then even if Miss Ben has to find a time to talk to Qin Rui, Miss Ben doesn't like people who can't recognize their identities the most." ”

"Miss Gu, ...... you" How could the little guy not know that Gu Jinxi was talking about herself, and suddenly her already ugly face was even more embarrassed, glaring at her viciously, but her teeth were gritted tightly.

"Miss Ben is talking to Steward Xue of your Regent Mansion now, how can you speak?" Gu Jinxi lowered his head, the smile on his face was completely gone, and he just stared at the little guy quietly, but he only raised his head to look at Xue Hai for a moment, with a bit of meaning in his eyes.

Xue Hai hurriedly lowered his head, the smile on his face was faint, "Miss Gu is very right, Xue will tell the prince about this matter." As he spoke, he turned around, raised his hand and slapped the little guy directly, "Why don't you apologize to Miss Gu soon?"

"......" The little guy suddenly only felt a pain in the side of his face and his ears were buzzing, but there was no way to refute it. Don't look at him now, he is a decent person in the Rong'en Pavilion, but in the entire Regent Palace, in the Wuyuan, I am afraid that he is not even a fart in front of this little aunt and grandmother, and no matter how much resentment there is, he can only endure it by himself, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry!"

"Ah, miss, it's a nice day. Just as the little guy spoke, Banxia deliberately said to Gu Jinxi in a loud voice with a thick innocence in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Gu Jinxi would not hear it.

Seeing this, Gu Jinxi held the teacup in both hands and lowered her head to take a sip of tea gently, the smile on her face became stronger and stronger, and she shook her head angrily; this girl is unwilling to suffer, and now that this little guy has provoked her, she will ask for more blessings. Of course, her own people protect herself, since she has caused Banxia to be displeased, she didn't let him go so quickly, raised her head and looked at the little guy with thick doubts in her eyes, "Ah? I'm sorry, what did you say? It was too noisy just now, I didn't hear it!"

When the little guy heard this, his two eyes glared at Banxia viciously, but he didn't dare to have any disrespect for Gu Jinxi. Even if he knew that Gu Jinxi was making things difficult for him, he could only endure it alive, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry!"

"Miss, why don't we go out for a walk?" The two voices sounded in unison, Banxia had a thick smug on his face, looked at the little guy, with a smug taste in his eyes, and gestured with his eyes, I just did it on purpose?

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with Miss Ben, and Miss Ben can't afford your apology, so let's do it. The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was faint, and he raised his head to look at Xue Hai, and his eyes seemed to be a little thoughtful.

"Get out!" Xue Hai glared at the little guy, his face sank instantly, and then he turned his head to Gu Jinxi and smiled slightly, "Miss Gu, this person is not sensible, don't be angry." ”

Seeing this, the little guy only felt that he almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out, and he could only swallow back the curse that had reached his throat with difficulty, and took a deep breath and said to the two maids who followed him, "Danzhu, Danyun, let's go!"

"Yes!" the two maids said in unison.

It's just that I don't know why, when my eyes fell on the two maids, Gu Jinxi's eyes were a little dark and profound. Even if Concubine An has any opinions about herself, she is afraid that she will not dare to let people openly do it in Wuyuan. It's just a cup of soup, and you need to let two masters escort you? Isn't that a bit of a fuss?

The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was faint, "I found something, let's say it!"

......Seeing Gu Jinxi like this, Xue Hai was a little stunned at first, but he quickly came back to his senses, lowered his head and smiled faintly, "There is indeed something wrong with the concubine." As for the martial arts of the concubine Niangniang that Miss Gu said, as early as the people who entered the palace as a concubine, everyone knew that the concubine Niangniang was a middle master, and this matter was not a secret, but it was just ......" He thought for a while, and still said everything slowly.

Gu Jinxi just listened attentively, sometimes humming softly, and sometimes nodding lightly with a smile on her face, indicating that she was listening.

"That's all!" At the end, Xue Hai lowered his head, his face was solemn, and he glared at Gu Jinxi, "Later, if Miss Gu needs any news, Xue will go all out, and as for what Miss Gu promised Xue, please also ask Miss Gu to keep her promise." ”

"It's easy to say!" Gu Jinxi smiled slightly, raised her head and looked at Xue Hai, her eyes seemed to reveal a little doubt, "According to what you say, Xue Xi is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken?"

Although he was a little puzzled by Gu Jinxi's words, he was also slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't show it directly, he only lowered his head, "Xi'er has always been weak, and she doesn't like to practice martial arts, she has never known martial arts all these years, and her body is only acceptable." Why did Miss Gu suddenly care about Xi'er's affairs?"

"Nothing, just a casual ask. The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was faint.

But Xue Hai didn't think so, what kind of person is Gu Jinxi, after so many dealings, even if she doesn't know very well, she finally knows a little bit, if it really just doesn't matter, then she must be disdainful, thinking of this, his tone was a little puzzled, "Miss Gu, Xi'er is not a threat to you, and she is the confidant of the concubine, many things you want to know, you have to rely on Xi'er......"

"Steward Xue, you're too nervous. Without waiting for Xue Hai to finish speaking, Gu Jinxi directly interrupted him, the smile on his face was faint, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, revealing his slender and fair neck, and his side face was elegant and noble, "Since Miss Ben promised not to touch her, naturally I won't do anything to her." However, her not doing it doesn't mean that others won't do it, at least from the current point of view, the situation of the two brothers and sisters of the Xue family is not very good.

"......" Xue Hai heard this, raised his head suddenly, his eyes stared at Gu Jinxi tightly, as if he wanted to see something from her face, but he didn't see anything, and bit his lip tightly.

Gu Jinxi lowered his head, the smile on his face was shallow, but his eyes were a little pensive. Confidant, is this Xue Xi really Concubine An's henchman? If it is, why don't you even know this news; "By the way, I heard that the child in Xue Xi's womb was saved by Concubine An?"

"Miss Gu, what do you mean?" Xue Hai, who had already put down his heart, heard this, his heart quickly hung in his throat again, and his two eyes looked at Gu Jinxi vigilantly, as if he was facing a great enemy, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was a little unkind, "Don't forget that you promised me that you wouldn't make a move on Xi'er, you can't go back on your word!"

"Whew-"

Gu Jinxi glared at Xue Hai angrily, "Do it to her, Miss Ben still feels dirty with my hands." But this Concubine An is not a good stubble, are you really so sure that she has no other plans to protect the child in Xue Xi's belly?"

"Hum—"

When Xue Hai heard this, he only felt that his mind was buzzing. It's true that Concubine An doesn't look like a good stubble, and she didn't notice it at first, but the more she went to the back, the more obvious this feeling became. Although she showed that she liked Xi'er very much, however, this feeling was getting more and more weird, could it be that she really wanted to cherish the child in her belly? Thinking of this, his face was gloomy and a little ugly, "This doesn't worry about Miss Gu!" No matter what, let Xue Xi give birth to the child safely.

Looking at Xue Hai's appearance, the corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth hooked, and she shrugged her shoulders angrily, she neither cared nor cared about Xue Hai's thoughts, she just said lightly, "Don't worry about Miss Ben, if there is nothing else, Steward Xue will clear it! Banxia, send Steward Xue out!"

Xue Hai's lips pursed, staring at Gu Jinxi, and then quickly lowered his head, "Then Xue will retire first!"

"The spring breeze is warm, warm people fall asleep, although the distance between Wuyuan and the Regent's Mansion is short, but Steward Xue should also pay attention to it at any time. The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was very faint, and even her words were a little playful, "Okay, Miss Ben is also a little tired, so I won't send Steward Xue, please!"

"Miss Gu is polite!" Xue Hai hadn't noticed it yet, but after Gu Jinxi's reminder, his originally calm heart suddenly hung in his throat, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty; when he turned to leave, there was still deep thought in his eyes, what Gu Jinxi meant by this, could it be that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him? But he didn't offend anyone, how could he provoke others, or did Gu Jinxi deliberately say this to make him happy? Although this possibility is very small.

After sending Xue Hai back, Banxia pursed his mouth angrily, and he was extremely disdainful of that little guy. But suddenly as if he thought of something, he half-knelt in front of Gu Jinxi, "Miss, what did you mean by what you just told that Xue Hai?"

"It's not interesting. The smile on Gu Jinxi's face was faint, and he looked at Banxia, "You go to my eldest brother immediately and tell him what I said, he knows what to do." She lowered her eyelids with a bit of contemplation in her eyes. It seems that Concubine An has set her sights on Xue Hai and Xue Xi, and she still needs the child in Xue Xi's belly, so she doesn't dare to do anything to Xue Xi, but this Xue Hai has become a scapegoat. It's just that if Xue Xi doesn't know martial arts, then it must not be the late Qing Dynasty, so is Concubine An the woman in red at the beginning?

Banxia also noticed the change in her young lady's complexion, but she didn't ask in the end, and only obediently went to find Gu Ziqi.

In the Regent's Mansion, I don't know why, since Xue Hai left, Xue Xi's heart has always been hanging tightly, and I don't know if Concubine An has done anything about the soup. Regardless of whether Gu Jinxi will drink it or not, if there is really a problem, I am afraid that Xue Hai will not be able to get rid of it at that time. Thinking of this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her face was ugly.

"Mei Xiang, go take a look, hasn't my brother come back yet?" Seeing that more than two hours have passed, but Xue Hai still has no news, Xue Xi's heart that was already hanging in his throat is more like it is about to jump out of his throat;

Mei Xiang lowered her head, her expressionless voice was humble, "Back to Aunt Xue's words, Steward Xue didn't go back to the house." ”

"......" Xue Xi heard this, only feeling that his heart was going up and down, and he couldn't let it go, "How could this be? By the way, did the little guy and the maid from Rong En Pavilion come back?"

Hearing this, Mei Xiang shook her head, "The slave didn't hear about it. ”

"Aunt Xue, don't worry, Steward Xue loves you so much, as long as you come back, she will definitely come back to see you." Looking at Xue Xi's appearance, Mei Hong put down the feather duster in her hand, and her tone was still unhurried, "Besides, maybe something happened to Steward Xue on the way to delay, with Steward Xue's ability, someone can move him." In this regent palace, there are not only Steward Xue, but also Steward Yang, if they are really busy, it is normal to not see each other for several days. You can just rest and rest, after all, you are not alone. ”

When Xue Xi heard this, the worry on his face finally subsided. Probably because the months are getting older and more sleepy, and not long after lunch, I feel sleepy again. Hearing Mei Hong say this again, she nodded again, "That's right." In the past, I didn't know about Yunzhen Mountain, I only knew the prosperity of this cool capital, but now that I think about it, my brother's life is also hard. I'm a little tired, so I'll rest for a while, and if my brother comes back, remember to wake me up. ”

"Yes!" Mei Hong lowered her head, helped Xue Xi to the bed, and tucked the quilt very carefully for her.

It's just that when Xue Xi woke up again, he didn't even have time to wake up before he heard the commotion outside, and he could faintly hear Mei Hong and Mei Xiang's low voices and slightly hurried and worried tones.

"Okay, we know, we'll tell Aunt Xue about this. Mei Hong's voice was no longer as crisp as usual, with a bit of worry and doubt, and it seemed to be a little bleak that people couldn't see.

Mei Xiang is not as calm as Mei Hong in the end, and her whole face is scared at the moment, "Sister Mei Hong, this is ...... Steward Xue's affairs ......"

"Auntie's body is getting heavier and heavier, now is the critical time, and this matter must not be known to my aunt. Mei Hong lowered her voice and her face was gloomy. But before the words fell, I suddenly heard a hurried and worried voice next to me, "What can't Aunt Ben know?"
