Chapter 106: So Busy Before Becoming Emperor
Empress Xiao's expression did not change much when she heard this. "Don't be too happy too soon. It's not certain whether Jing Siye will have three palaces and six courtyards after he seizes the throne. There are so many descendants of the Jing family in the side branches."
Concubine Chen choked and her heart was in her throat. Her life depended on her master's thoughts, and she waited anxiously for her master's next words.
"Forget it. Things have come to this point. Even if I want to kill you, I can't save you. From now on, don't act on your own. Otherwise, I will kill you directly."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will definitely follow your teachings." Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.
Empress Xiao continued, "Just now, the servants reported that Emperor Decheng has also been placed under house arrest. It seems that the cold palace is a safe place."
Empress Xiao glanced at her personal maid Lan Yue beside her. Concubine Chen instantly understood what she meant. She nodded slightly, with a sinister glimpse in her eyes.
It was already dawn the next day when Jing Siye returned to the palace.
Originally, he had a lot of things to deal with in the palace, but he was thinking about the pregnant little one. If she couldn't see him after waking up, she would probably be upset, especially since she had suffered such a serious injury.
Therefore, Jing Siye instructed Li Xiao, left Lu Bo and Xue Nian behind, and brought Zhai Qing and Nangong Ling back first.
When he stepped into Zhu Wenqin's bedroom, Jing Sirui greeted him excitedly.
"Second brother, you are finally back." Jing Sirui said while looking behind him.
Jing Siye understood his intention and said, "General Li and Xue Nian are still in the palace handling affairs."
Jing Sirui: “…”
Well, it looks like I have to go to the palace alone.
"How's Qin'er?" Jing Siye asked in a low voice to Qi Feng who was standing by the side.
"He just fell asleep. He has been worried about the prince."
"Well, you guys go and rest too. I am the only one here."
Several people followed the order and left.
Jing Siye checked Zhu Wenqin's wound, then gently touched his stomach, then gently rested his head on his arm, accompanying him as he fell asleep peacefully.
Nangong Ling, who arrived a step late, watched Qi Feng retreat and close the door gently, and knew that Jing Siye would not be able to come out for a while.
"Well, how about I find a place to sleep for a while? I haven't slept for more than ten hours."
Nangong Ling said this and then found a room to lie down. After all, all the people in Jing Siye’s main courtyard were men.
Halfway through her sleep, Nangong Ling felt a chill on her neck.
He opened his eyes with a start, but immediately raised his hands because An Yi was holding a sword against his neck. Nangong Ling was stunned:
"An Yi, I'm Nangong Ling. You can smell me even when I'm wearing a mask, but how come you can't recognize me when I'm not wearing anything?"
An Yi blushed when he heard this, but another voice sounded:
"Master Nangong, how can you sleep in someone else's bed so casually?"
Nangong Ling then noticed that there were two beds in the room, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
"Why...you and An'er sleep in the same room?"
An Er: "What's the problem?"
Nangong Ling curled her lips: “No…no.”
Nangong Ling seemed to have thought of something and said:
"So you secret guards also need to sleep? I thought you guys were on guard all day, and when you get tired you just lie down on the ground or hang on a tree to take a nap."
An Er said unhappily: "We are not gods. We have very strict rules. I am too lazy to tell you."
"Okay, I was just too sleepy, so I just slept in a random room. It was not intentional, but..."
Nangong Ling was in a playful mood and said jokingly, "This is such a coincidence. I can sleep in your bed at will. It seems that we are destined to be together."
As Nangong Ling spoke, he pinched the sword against his neck with two fingers and slowly moved it away.
Just as he moved away a little, the sword came closer again.
An Yi: "You scoundrel, be more careful next time, or I will stab you with my sword."
Nangong Ling smiled and said, "Of course, of course."
Upon hearing this, An Yi put away his sword, thinking that Nangong Ling would just leave. Unexpectedly, Nangong Ling stood up, leaned close to his face and said:
"You cover your face every day. Do you know how I recognized you right away?"
An was stunned, staring at Nangong Ling without blinking, waiting for his next words.
"Because you smell so good!" Nangong Ling said, laughed a few times, and walked out in a cool manner.
"What a playboy, An Yi, just ignore him."
At this moment, An's face was burning all the way to his ears. Fortunately, he covered his face and avoided the embarrassment.
At noon, Zhu Wenqin opened her eyes and found herself lying in a warm embrace. When she looked up, she saw Jing Siye looking at her tenderly.
Seeing the little guy wake up, Jing Siye pulled him closer to his arms and kissed him on the forehead.
"Qin'er, does the wound still hurt?"
Zhu Wenqin felt the warmth of his lips and realized that she was not dreaming. Her nose suddenly felt sore and she choked up and said:
"My Lord, you are back. Qin'er was really worried to death."
Jing Siye pecked him on the face twice again with heartache and said:
"You don't have to worry anymore, and you don't have to be afraid that someone is plotting against you."
Zhu Wenqin then realized that what he was talking about was that she was about to sit on the highest seat.
There was no unexpected excitement in Zhu Wenqin's eyes, but rather a hint of loneliness.
Jing Siye was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Qin'er? Are you unhappy?"
"No...no." The situation had been decided. How could Zhu Wenqin be so ignorant and say things to him that he didn't like to hear? In the future, as long as she worked harder, the prince might give her more love among the many concubines.
Jing Siye touched his belly again and said gently, "I never thought that I would become a father. God really favors us."
Zhu Wenqin asked innocently, "Does the prince like it?"
Jing Siye raised his hand and pinched his nose with force, saying:
"Of course I like it. This is the greatest gift God has given me. But Qin'er will have to work hard."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenqin buried her head in his arms in shame, "As long as the prince is here, Qin'er won't have to suffer."
"Well, that's true, but I've been a bit busy these days," Jing Siye carefully pulled his arm out, put on his robe, and said to Zhu Wenqin who was lying on the bed:
"I will help you wash up. I will ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes later. Remember to eat more and don't let the baby in your stomach go hungry. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the palace."
Zhu Wenqin: [You are so busy before you become emperor. If you become emperor, I am afraid that I won’t see you for several days. 】
"Well, Your Majesty, please come back soon. Qin'er is waiting for you."
Jing Siye couldn't help but shook his head when he heard what he had just said, and said lovingly:
"Qin'er, be good and obedient in the mansion. I will come back to accompany you as soon as I finish my work."
Zhu Wenqin nodded: "Okay."
