Two months after giving birth.
That night, the weather was unusually hot and humid. After giving birth, Shen Wei's sleep quality became very poor. She was unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night and stared at the plain bed curtains.
Shen Wei tossed and turned in bed, waking up King Yan beside her.
King Yan saw all the pain that Shen Wei had gone through during the past two months of recuperation. He felt sorry for Shen Wei, so he gently held her hand: "The imperial physician said that women should soak in hot springs after giving birth to warm the uterus, drive away the cold, and promote blood circulation. Tomorrow is a day off, and I will take you to a hot spring villa in the suburbs to stay for two days."
Shen Wei thought about it and nodded happily.
She has not gone out for the past two months, and has been staying in Liuli Pavilion every day to recuperate and take care of the children. Now that my wounds have almost healed, I can go out to soak in a hot spring, recuperate, and breathe the fresh air of the outside world.
When dawn came, the King of Yan seemed to have been prepared and had already prepared the carriage. Cailian and Caiping packed their luggage and placed it neatly on the carriage.
After going out to soak in the hot spring to recuperate, Shen Wei was worried about leaving the children in the palace, so she called Rong Mama and several wet nurses: "Send the children to the palace and ask the queen to take care of them."
The person Shen Wei trusts the most now is the Queen.
When the child was born, an assassin broke into the palace. Although the assassin had been captured, Shen Wei was still frightened. It is safest to send the child to the palace.
Madam Rong nodded: "Master, rest assured, I will follow you to the palace. You should take good care of yourself and recover your lost health as soon as possible."
The servants of Liuli Pavilion worked efficiently, and the guards escorted the carriage to send Shen Wei's three children to the palace. After receiving the news from the palace that the child had been delivered safely, Shen Wei felt at ease to take the carriage to the hot spring villa in the suburbs.
...
During the confinement period, I felt really uncomfortable because of the boredom. Finally able to go out today, Shen Wei was in a good mood. Listening to the lively hawking of the neighbors outside the carriage, she felt happy and comfortable.
So far, her life has been going according to plan.
Next, Shen Wei planned to raise her three children well, let them grow up safely, and smoothly inherit the mantle of King Yan.
In twenty years at most, she would be able to live a carefree life in retirement, as a free and easy consort of a royal palace. The dream of every wage earner is to retire!
"Tanghulu~"
"Tanghulu, Bingtanghulu~"
The hawkers' cries were heard outside the carriage. Shen Wei lifted the curtain and asked the guard to buy two strings of candied haws. She handed one of the bunches to King Yan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, try it. This one is very sweet."
Shen Wei recovered well after giving birth. Her face became thinner, but her skin remained fair. Today she was wearing simple and plain clothes, with only a white jade hairpin in her hair, and she looked very elegant and refined.
King Yan smiled, with doting eyes: "You are already a mother, yet you are still as greedy as a child."
Shen Wei tilted her head and said nonchalantly: "There are no outsiders here, so I don't care."
His words were full of trust in King Yan.
There was a smile in King Yan's eyes.
He looked at Shen Wei intently, her every frown, smile, and move, and his heart seemed to be brushed by a soft feather. When he first met Chen Wei in Fangfei Garden, King Yan never expected that a small, weak woman would take root in his heart.
During the two months that Shen Wei was in confinement, undercurrents surged in the Daqing court. The crown prince and the emperor were so ill that they could not get up and would not last for more than a few days.
The storm is coming, and Yanjing will face a bloody storm. King Yan was most worried about Shen Wei, so he sent Shen Wei to a farm in the suburbs for protection under the pretext of taking a hot spring bath.
Wait until the crisis is over, then bring Shen Wei back.
The carriage was moving very fast and quickly left Yanjing City and drove onto the spacious official road.
Halfway through the journey, we could already see the outline of the mountain where the hot spring resort was located in the distance. In the carriage, King Yan calmly told Shen Wei: "Weiwei, I will send you to the hot spring villa today. You will recuperate in the villa first, and I will send someone after a while-"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was suddenly heard outside the car.
Bang, bang, bang——
A hidden arrow struck, and the arrow head pierced deeply into the wall of the carriage in the palace. Shen Wei was startled, and the unfinished candied haws in her hand fell to the ground with a plop.
assassin?
Before Shen Wei could react, King Yan whispered to her, "Stay in the carriage and don't run around."
