Chapter 499: Guarded

Seeing her like this, Xie Songhua was a little stunned for a while.

It's only been a long time, and Xue Suqiao, who didn't care about anything at the beginning, has become like this.

Even when it came to entering the palace and becoming the emperor's woman, she didn't look much afraid, but with a kind of open-mindedness that happened casually.

It's only been more than half a year.

"You help me!" Xue Suqiao's smile was almost uncontrollable, and there was a tremor in his voice, "I believe in you, Fourth Sister."

Fourth Sister......

It was when she was in Gaofu, when she accepted herself as a friend, she shouted in accordance with her order in the Xie family.

And now, she has already re-ranked third, and Xue Suqiao has also changed from a young girl who is still a concubine in this deep palace.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out for you when I go back, you wait for my news."

She didn't ask for any more information, because she knew it so well that it was useless to ask.

This deep palace was originally a man-eating beast, and the people who could live in it were more or less mutated into monsters.

Xue Suqiao is still a normal person, so she hasn't been able to adapt to such an environment.

"By the way, Jiang Baolin gave birth last night."

Probably because the bag of things was settled, Xue Suqiao looked a little more relaxed, and talked to her about other things.

"Oh?" Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, "Gave birth to a daughter?"

Xue Suqiao just laughed.

Naturally, it is a daughter, otherwise how could the palace and the East Palace be so quiet.

If it is a son, it is the eldest grandson of the crown prince, and in a place like King Chen's Mansion, someone will definitely go to report the good news.

But the daughter is different, there is a county lord in front of the East Palace!

It's not worth the fanfare.

Xie Songhua thought of Jiang Shuhua's temperament, I'm afraid that this time she doesn't have the joy of being a first-time mother.

As Xie Songhua expected, the first thing Jiang Shuhua did when he woke up was to drop the medicine bowl that Xizhu was holding.

Xizhu was afraid that the people who would call the princess outside would hear it, so he hurriedly packed up the porcelain pieces and walked out, and said to the little maid with some self-reproach: "Hurry up and boil another bowl, but I missed it."

Only then did he walk back and hold Jiang Shuhua's hand before she spoke, "Baolin, don't be angry, you must take good care of the little county lord!"

Jiang Shuhua stared at her deadly, a surge of anger in her heart, and she had nowhere to vent, so she only pinched Xizhu's arm fiercely.

"You must hold back!" Ignoring the sharp pain in his arm, Xizhu shook her hand hard, "The crown princess has already guarded against you! Last night, the East Palace was full of people, inside and out! There are a lot of fresh faces, sent by the queen!"

"What?!"

Jiang Shuhua was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"It's not that the slave maid is inactive, the one outside can't get in at all, and the palace maid we bought first is gone, and all of them have been replaced by the queen's mother."

This sentence made Jiang Shuhua change color immediately, "What about that child?"

"Don't worry, master! I didn't come here, but I didn't see the momentum right outside, and I took it away again, and no one found out."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief, and then said nervously: "If they don't find out the clues, what should they do to prevent me from doing this?"

Xizhu subconsciously glanced at the window and door, then lowered his voice and leaned over and said, "The slave guesses...... It was probably the crown princess who found out."

"You're saying I'm ...... her?"

She still didn't say the next words, and Xizhu gave her a definite answer with just one look.

"The master said that in the queen's palace that day, the princess checked the pulse of the princess, and then the princess returned to her parents' house the next day, and then the symptoms were alleviated."

"Xie Songhua!" Jiang Shuhua almost immediately gritted her teeth and spit out the name, "I have come to the East Palace to be a concubine for the crown prince, and she is still haunted!"

Xizhu gently helped her back to the pillow, "Master, don't think about this now

Some things, whether the crown princess and the queen mother suspect it or not, there is no evidence in the horizontal and vertical.

The most important thing at the moment is that you hurry up and take care of your body, no matter what, Your Highness is still happy, our little master will soon be the county lord.

Recently, His Highness has come to our courtyard a lot more often, which shows that His Highness attaches great importance to his master, as long as he captures His Highness's heart, are you still afraid that you won't be able to give birth to a son?"

Xizhu's words calmed Jiang Shuhua down.

Originally, she thought that this time she would definitely give birth to the eldest son of the emperor of the East Palace, even if it didn't crawl out of her belly, she could have a son.

In this way, as long as Zhao Mingxi can't give birth to a son, her son is the one with the highest status.

I didn't expect such a change to happen.

Now she has to think long-term.

She can't be defeated by these setbacks, even if she doesn't give birth to a son now, she still has a chance.

Xie Songhua is there to be a high-ranking princess Chen, do you want her to make Xie Songhua a low cost?

It's just that now the crown princess has obviously suspected her, and this matter must find a way to cover up the past.

Just as he was thinking about it, the prince's voice came from outside, "How is your master?"

Xizhu hurriedly walked out, "I've seen Your Highness, our Baolin has woken up, I was really tired last night, and I was happy to see the county lord!" It's just that the imperial doctor said that his body is still weak at this time, and he can't be tired, otherwise our Baolin will have to hug the county lord."

The prince was very happy when he heard this, and walked in with a smile, and when he saw the somewhat haggard person on the bed, his face showed two points of thoughtfulness, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Shuhua showed a shy look, "What is Your Highness talking about, it's a pity that I couldn't give birth to a son for Your Highness."

"Sons and daughters are all good, they are all lonely flesh and blood, can't you say that, don't you feel sad when you turn around and let your daughter know?"

"What Your Highness said is that the concubine has lost her words for a while."

The prince accompanied her for a while, and then looked at the child with the nurse's hand for a while, and then said, "You have to rest well, the palace is feasting the ministers, and you have to go first."

Jiang Shuhua naturally knew about this banquet for the ministers.

She even thought that if she gave birth to a son, she would probably have her own place at the banquet next year.

Right now......

She was not happy to give birth to a daughter, but the prince, who was a father, was still happy.

He strode to the Lama Palace, and when he saw the three princes who were obviously a lot haggard, his heart became more and more happy.

"Third brother, didn't you sleep well last night? The matter of the slippery tire of the third brother and sister of the previous son, Lone also heard about it, and this matter is really uncomfortable, but the third brother and the third brother and sister are still young, and they want to have a son, and there will be time in the future!"

He laughed as he spoke.

The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and then sneered, "What the imperial brother said is, after all, the imperial brother is a few years older than me, and he still has no son, what am I anxious about?"

These words made the smile on the prince's face immediately fade, and he snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to his own defeated subordinate.

I knew that he was too lazy to care, but the third prince didn't want to let him go, and when he passed by, he suddenly said faintly, "Speaking of which, the fate in this world is really wonderful, at the beginning, I begged my mother to ask for a favor for me and my father, and to fulfill me and the three girls of the Xie family at that time.

The mother concubine said that she didn't agree with anything, only that I had no fate with her, and now I realized that what the mother concubine said was the truth, how could I have thought that she would one day become the treasure of the royal brother, and gave birth to a daughter to the imperial brother."
