Wan Ruo was stunned for a moment, her face flushed instantly, and she stuttered: "You, what nonsense are you talking about again!"
He raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded understandingly: "Okay, I understand."
Wanruo glared at him: "What do you know?"
"You're thin-skinned."
“…”
Wanruo picked up the soft pillow at hand and threw it at him, gritting her teeth and saying, "Thank you, Xianyu!"
He caught the pillow and lectured with a stern face, "The imperial physician said your pregnancy is unstable. You can't get angry. You need to rest."
Wanruo gnashed her teeth in anger. Who provoked her?!
"Sir, the prince has sent a message."
Qing'an was passing the message outside.
Xie Xianyu ruffled her hair. "Rest first. The maid will bring the pregnancy-maintaining medicine soon. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
Wanruo turned her head away feeling depressed.
He curled his lips, rubbed her swollen face again, and then turned and left.
As soon as Xie Xianyu left, the first and second wives arrived. As soon as the news of her pregnancy came out, the Xie family took it very seriously. They took her aside and gave her a lot of instructions, and she didn't even have to attend the class of the housekeeper.
The eldest lady was so happy that she gave silver and money to all the servants in the mansion as a reward, and the whole Xie family was filled with joy.
Xie Xianyu entered the palace. The matter of the previous day had not been resolved yet. He should have entered the palace directly, but he was worried about Wanruo, so he sent her back first.
"Your Highness." Xie Xianyu entered the East Palace, and the prince was already waiting.
"Prince Zhennan has escaped." The prince looked solemn.
Xie Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Escaped?"
Japan had set up a trap specifically for the Prince of Zhennan, waiting for him to rebel so they could take advantage of the opportunity to convict him and seize power. But now the charges have been made, but the person has escaped.
"Looking at this, if the Prince of Zhennan escapes back to the Northern Frontier, I'm afraid he'll want to rebel again."
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. The Prince of Zhennan came from nowhere. Your Highness is virtuous and his succession to the throne is legitimate. If the Prince of Zhennan wants to rebel, then he is a traitor. We can simply send troops to eliminate him. The Prince of Zhennan is powerful, so he won't threaten the imperial power."
After all, in addition to the Prince of Zhennan, there is also the Marquis of Ding'an. These two forces compete with each other and check and balance each other, and it is impossible for either side to dominate.
The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Hearing you say that, I feel a little relieved."
"Now that the Prince of Zhennan has already fled, it would be better to send troops to wipe him out."
"good."
After finishing the discussion, the prince smiled and said, "I heard that your wife is pregnant. I'm afraid she was frightened the other day. Is she okay?"
Xie Xianyu curled his lips. "The imperial physician said it's just an unstable fetus. It will be fine after two days of rest."
"That's good. Now that the matter in the capital has been settled, this is also a good sign."
After Xie Xianyu came out of the Eastern Palace and returned to the Xie Mansion, he went to the study to deal with some official business.
He first wrote a secret letter and gave it to Qing'an: "Have this letter delivered to Marquis Ding'an by a fast horse."
"yes."
"Let Su Yan come to see me."
Qing'an paused, then said, "I'm afraid Lord Su won't be able to come tomorrow."
"What happened to him?"
"He said he had something urgent to do and is not in the house right now."
Xie Xianyu narrowed his eyes slightly. Things in the capital were almost settled. What other urgent matters did he have?
Qing'an suddenly remembered something and pointed to a pile of notes on the desk. "These are some notes sent by local officials. Would you like to take a look?"
Xie Xianyu didn't even look up: "You decide."
How can he have time to care about these little things when he is so busy?
Qing'an reminded him again: "Mr. Zhao, the governor of Qingzhou, sent a letter, which is probably related to Lin County."
Xie Xianyu raised his eyes: "Give it to me."
Qing'an immediately handed him the first letter on top.
Xie Xianyu opened the letter and glanced at it, his eyebrows slightly raised. Oh, it’s a wedding invitation.
-
Zhaojue Temple.
The family members of Prince Xuan's palace were pardoned and sent to Zhaojue Temple to practice asceticism with their hair uncut to pray for the seriously ill emperor. The concubines of Prince Xuan's palace were used to a life of luxury, so they would naturally complain bitterly if they had to live such a hard life.
Chen Qinghan felt a rare sense of freedom, which was much more relaxing than being locked up in that square house.
"Princess, let me do it." Cai Lian wanted to take the clothes from her hand.
Chen Qinghan took it and said, "You've been busy for half a day, chopping wood, cooking, and everything else. I can't even wash two sets of clothes."
Cai Lian's eyes turned red: "How could you do such a thing?"
"You haven't done that either."
Cai Lian cried even harder: "I have been following you as your personal maid since you were little. You have never let me suffer."
