Chapter 325: The Dark Tide is Surging
What the two have experienced, who they used to be, it doesn't matter at this moment, the most important thing is that they are now husband and wife, and together, they have the crystallization of love. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Chu Lian never cared what He Changdi did with Mu Xiang, since she knew from him the ending of his previous life that he didn't see in the original text, she was more and more able to understand him. Although He Changdi may seem ruthless and tough to outsiders, in her eyes, he is the best husband.
After August, when the autumn wind was bleak, the second prince was finally deposed, imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum, and the concubine was also sent to the cold palace.
In the face of such a change, King Jin did not say a word of intercession for the second prince and the concubine.
Concubine Liang hanged herself in the cold palace, and finally met the King of Jin, and only then did she know that the King of Jin had already known the truth about her killing Concubine Xian back then.
With the abolition of the prince and the news of Emperor Chengping's poor health, the battle between the court and China for the succession has intensified, and the original secret struggle has been transferred to the bright road.
Among the courts, the four princes and the six princes were the most vocal.
Chu Lian's belly has been more than seven months, and she discussed it with He Changdi, and before the little guy in her belly was born safely, she tried not to leave the mansion.
For some reason, Sima Hui returned to Shandong with his 'female' soldiers at the end of August.
Chu Lian is usually in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and the people who often come to see her are Duanjia County Lord, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zheng Guogong and others.
In mid-September, it was the wedding date of Chu Kite, the eighth lady of the British government, and King Shoujun.
The two were married by God, so it was very lively.
Even if she received the red invitation from the British government, Chu Lian didn't go to join in the fun, she leisurely raised the baby in the house, and in the evening, when she was about to eat, the lord of Duanjia came excitedly.
Chu Lian watched the Duanjia County Lord rush to him, picked up the fruit tea he had just drunk and took a sip, and was stunned by her.
"County Lord?"
After drinking tea, the county lord of Duanjia sat down beside Chu Lian, hugged her arm and said with his eyes shining: "Hahaha, Chu Liu, you must not know what happened to the British Mansion today." β
The two are as close as sisters, and the county lord of Chu Lian naturally knows everything very clearly.
Since the last time she was designed by the second room of the British Mansion, Chu Lian had secretly cut off contact with the British Mansion, so she didn't go today, otherwise she would have to be there to congratulate her nominal sister when she got married.
Chu Lian was amused, "What else can I do, Chu Yuan is getting married!"
The county lord of Duanjia originally looked down on the small family spirit of the British government, and with Chu Lian's relationship, he was even more disgusted with the British government in his heart.
She saw that Chu Lian really didn't know, and she gushed triumphantly.
"Haha, I really didn't expect Chu Yuan to be 'very' ruthless, today I attended the wedding banquet in Yongkang Palace, and in the new house, a group of clan relatives were joining in the fun. When King Shoujun lifted the bride's hijab, the entire new house was stunned. β
The more Chu Lian listened, the more strange it became.
"Ah, stunned?" "What's so shocking about this, although Chu Kite's 'sex' personality is bad, her appearance is not ugly, Chu Qizheng is handsome, and the second lady is a small family 'jade' type, Chu Kite is naturally not bad.
The county lord of Duanjia suddenly laughed out loud again.
"Guess?"
The corners of Chu Lian's mouth twitched, and he suddenly smiled slyly, "The osmanthus 'flower' cake I asked Xiyan to make yesterday should have never been eaten by the county lord." β
When the county lord of Duanjia heard that it was freshly eaten, his big eyes lit up, "Where, don't let people bring it out for me to taste." β
Chu Lian stared at the Duanjia County Lord with a smile and did not speak.
The latter immediately understood the meaning of her expression.
Lord Duanjia puffed out his cheeks and glared at Chu Lian, "Chu Liu, they all say that those who are close to ink are black, and this sentence is really true." Okay, I said it's not okay, bring the osmanthus 'flower' cake quickly. β
Chu Lian waved his hand, and Xi Yan quickly placed a 'fine' plain 'color' porcelain plate on the small round table next to him.
Duanjia's face was happy, and he picked up a square piece of osmanthus 'flower' cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
She had something in her mouth and was a little slurred.
"King Shoujun lifted the hijab, and under the hijab it was not Chu Kite, it was your fifth sister. β
The fragrant and non-sticky osmanthus 'flower' cake immediately took away the attention of the Duanjia county lord, and she casually told the truth.
Chu Lian was slightly surprised, "You said that King Shoujun actually married Sister Su?"
Lord Duanjia nodded, "Now the people from the British Mansion and the Yongkang Royal Mansion are looking for Chu Yuan, but they haven't found it yet." β
"So what's going on now?"
The bride was replaced, and this is a holy decree marriage, which is not a trivial matter, if Emperor Chengping blames it, the entire British government will be implicated.
Lord Duanjia snorted, "Uncle Huang wants to punish the crime, but there is a strange matter, Uncle Yongkang was about to make trouble in the palace at that time, but he was stopped by Cousin Shou, look at him like that, as if he has known your fifth sister for a long time, everyone thinks it is strange!"
Chu Lian also felt strange, there was not much ink in the original text to mention Sister Su, after a few contacts, Chu Lian understood that Sister Su was not a simple and scheming girl, maybe this was the path she chose herself.
How did Sister Kite reach an agreement with her, Chu Lian didn't want to know, strictly speaking, the current British government has little to do with her.
It's better for her to raise a baby in the house.
Seeing that Chu Lian's face was calm, Lord Duanjia opened his mouth slightly, "Chu Liu, aren't you curious at all?"
Chu Lian poured himself a new glass of honey water, "The county lord also knows my relationship with the British government, and I don't want to pay attention to whether they are doing well or not." β
Lord Duanjia put down the pastry in his hand, moved to Chu Lian's side, and sat down beside her, "It's good that you draw a line with the people of the British Mansion earlier, your own father is not a good thing." β
Chu Lian thought to herself, as soon as she crossed the soul, there would be no her father in this world!
The county lord of Duanjia stayed until He Changdi came back before leaving.
Chu Lian was heavy herself, so she asked Mama Zhong to send Duanjia to the county lord on her behalf.
He Changdi walked to Chu Lian's side, passed one hand through her back, and the other through the crook of her knee, picked her up from the soft couch, and sent her into the inner room.
Chu Lian's face was a little red, and she patted He Changdi's sturdy 'chest', "I'm heavy now." β
He Saburo lowered his eyes and glanced at her, although he still had that stiff handsome face, but his eyes were extremely gentle, he lowered his head and pecked her soft 'lips', and then whispered: "I don't dislike it." β
Chu Lian was put by him at the head of the 'bed' and sat down, He Changdi took the thin blanket next to him and covered her, he sat on the side of the 'bed', wrapped his long arms around Chu Lian, and let her lean on his 'chest'.
Chu Lian raised his head slightly, and saw his slightly bulging chin and green shadow eyes.
She raised her hand and 'touched' his angular jaw, "Just came back?"
He Changdi bowed, "The situation is getting more and more anxious, I can't leave there, I 'took time' to go to Yongkang Wangfu in the afternoon, the county lord has been here, you already know the matter, right?"
Although Chu Lian no longer has dealings with the British Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Lian is a girl from the British Mansion after all, and He Changdi, as her husband, is understandable to go to the Yongkang Mansion to congratulate, so that it can also block the mouths of others.
Chu Lian nodded, "How is the fifth sister?"
He Changdi frowned slightly, "It's still in the Yongkang Palace, the guests have dispersed, the King of Shoujun has protected your fifth sister, my people have investigated, Chu Su has been in contact with the King of Shoujun before." β
Chu Lian's eyes widened, obviously a little surprised.
He Changdi snorted coldly, "I said a long time ago, your fifth sister is not simple, and this time the entire British Mansion will probably be planted on the heads of these two sisters." However, I am happy to see it happen. β
Sister Kite wants to take revenge on the entire British Mansion, and she has reached an agreement with Sister Su behind her back, but now she is missing, and the other one got married and stayed in the Yongkang Palace.
Chu Lian really "admires" the two sisters, but how these two people are, they no longer have a 'dime' relationship with her.
"Are you sleepy, sleep for a while?" Chu Lian asked He Changdi softly, he often stayed up late recently, sometimes when he was busy, he couldn't come back for a day or two, the whole person lost a lot of weight, he came back once in a while, and he could only hold her to sleep, and he had to go out early the next morning.
He Changdi 'rubbed' his eyebrows, got up, took off his robe and threw it aside, lifted the thin quilt and lay down beside his wife.
He carefully hugged Chu Lian, stretched out one hand to Chu Lian's chest, 'rubbed' 'rubbed', the deep eyes that had just been closed suddenly opened, and then the fiery breath sounded in Chu Lian's sensitive ears, "It's a lot bigger." β
Chu Lian: ......
Of course, the 'breasts' of pregnancy become larger...... Isn't that normal......
"You can't sleep yet!"
He Changdi gently 'kissed' her earlobe, and his slightly hoarse voice carried a pleasant smile, "Sleep." β
Chu Lian pulled his big hand down from the 'chest' and put it on his waist, He Changdi didn't resist, just moved, and clinged to the delicate body in his arms, "Lian'er, in two months, after the dust settles, I will accompany you and our children." β
"Sleep with you, I'm doing well without you. β
She is not one of those noble 'women' in the back house who has nothing to do all day away from men, she has a lot of things!
He Changdi chuckled in her ear, and soon, the low-magnetic laughter turned into a long breath.
After a while, he fell asleep, obviously tired.
A simple residential courtyard, in the main house in the courtyard, there is a pair of men and women hugging each other.
The 'woman' was lying in the man's arms, his breathing had not yet calmed down, but the man couldn't wait.
"How about asking you to inquire about Wei Guifei?" Xiao Bojian's voice revealed a hoarse voice that had just been released.
The 'woman' snorted coquettishly, and pouted her ruddy lips towards Xiao Bojian dissatisfied, "Lord Xiao is really ruthless, he doesn't let Mrs. Ben rest for a while, isn't he afraid that Mrs. Ben will change his mind and tell you nothing?"
Xiao Bojian suddenly smiled evilly, such a smile 'rippled' on his face that was more beautiful than the 'female', and instantly made people 'fascinated', and the 'female' person really ate this set, and looked up and was stunned.
"Madame really doesn't want to tell me?"
The woman's soft smoke wave swept over him, and reached out to touch his face, "With your face, Mrs. Ben is reluctant not to tell you." β
