Chapter 146 The King is Not Dead Yet
"So, Ling Shu thinks that this king is more powerful?"
Chu Cong directly occupied Shen Lingshu's seat and took Shen Lingshu into his arms. Shen Lingshu felt that the prince seemed to be more and more casual in front of her, and less disciplined and cold than before.
This is a good sign.
Shen Lingshu smiled slightly, put her hands on his shoulders, and looked at him with a firm look: "Of course."
She spoke without hesitation, and her eyes, bright as stars, seemed to bloom with beautiful fireworks.
"Then, will Lingshu give me another pair of twins?" Chu Cong hugged her tightly, breathing in the faint jasmine scent from her body.
"Your Majesty, twins aren't either..."
All of Shen Lingshu's words were finally drowned in Chu Cong's domineering kiss.
I don’t know how many times I called for water, but Chu Cong seemed to be practicing it himself, wanting to sow the seeds and have another pair of twins.
The next day, Shen Lingshu was extremely sleepy. She silently lowered her eyes at Chu Cong's idea of wanting twins yesterday. No matter how hard the prince tried, it would not work.
She secretly used contraception.
Shen Lingshu continued writing the letter she hadn't finished yesterday.
"By the way, master, the prince said that he would take you to South City and leave in a few days." Zhu Xin seemed to suddenly remember something while grinding ink.
"It's just right. I can reject Concubine Gao without offending anyone."
Shen Lingshu happily sent the letter to Prince Lin's Mansion immediately.
"The weather is warm in South City, so you can bring lighter clothes."
"By the way, Zhuxin, take the money and go buy some cloth. I want cotton cloth with nice patterns and suitable for work. Coarse cloth is fine too."
"And jewelry, buy more gold jewelry."
"If you can keep some of Kyoto's snacks, take as many as you can."
"Also prepare some of the tapioca flour you used to make the taro balls."
Shen Lingshu was in a particularly good mood when she thought about returning to Nancheng. Not only could she go out and play, but she could also start a new script. Everything was unknown!
In the script, the people in Nancheng Manor also treated Shen Lingshu very well.
"yes."
Zhu Xin happily went to prepare these things. Nancheng was indeed a place that could make the master happy.
Some are happy, some are sad.
In the palace, if we were to say who least wanted the prince to leave, it would be Li Susu. She was now almost full-term and was about to give birth within half a month, but the prince actually wanted to leave at this time?
If the prince leaves, what if someone wants to harm her son?
"Madam Hua, go and find out when the prince will leave."
Li Susu was extremely anxious.
"The prince will go to Jiangcheng in five days. Aunt Li, don't worry. We have two midwives in the mansion and a wet nurse has been found. You will definitely not be wronged..."
Before Aunt Hua could finish her words, Li Susu angrily interrupted, "What's the use of them? The prince must be here!"
"What if I give birth to a son? This will be the prince's first son. The prince will definitely be happy, but there will definitely be people who don't like him. What if I become a thorn in their eyes? What should I do?"
The more Li Susu thought about it, the more panicked she became. She didn't care whether she was still under house arrest or not, and she insisted on seeing the prince.
After Chu Cong returned home, he learned the news and remembered that Li Susu was almost full-term, so he went to Fengdanyuan.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Li Susu saw Chu Cong, she started crying. Her crying sounded so aggrieved that people who didn't know the truth would think she had suffered a great disaster.
Chu Cong's expression instantly turned cold at the miserable cry: "This king is not dead yet!"
The sound of crying, like a funeral, is unlucky to hear.
"Your Majesty."
Li Susu's crying stopped abruptly. Her eyes turned red, and she felt even more aggrieved. She looked up at Chu Cong, tears streaming down her face before she could say a word: "Your Highness, I'm about to give birth. You have to go out..."
"I will be back in just over a month." Chu Cong interrupted her. He would definitely be back before the spring sowing!
Planting three crops of grain is important, but the grain from the imperial farm is even more important.
As long as the yield can be increased, it doesn’t matter if we plant two fewer seasons.
"But, but, this is my first time giving birth, I'm afraid."
Sensing the impatience in the prince's eyes, her voice became even weaker, and her hand gently rested on her bulging belly. How could her son live without his father's protection?
"I will make all the arrangements in the palace. The concubine will take care of it, so you can just rest assured and give birth to the baby." Chu Cong also made preparations early for the baby in Li Susu's belly.
Food is important, and offspring are equally important.
She is even more afraid of the concubine taking care of it.
Li Susu was extremely anxious but she didn't dare to show it. She had no evidence and if she accused Concubine Fang without any reason, she might be put under house arrest again.
With this thought in mind, Li Susu was anxious and didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, Dongyang is back."
Qingwu's voice sounded, and Chu Cong comforted Li Susu casually with a few words, then went to the front yard. He asked Dongyang to go to Huangzhuang and Yueya Villa to ferment fertilizer and turn the soil according to the method in the booklet, so that the land would be fertile enough to grow more crops by the time of spring sowing.
"Your Majesty."
Li Susu looked at the prince's departing back anxiously, but the prince walked away resolutely and she couldn't walk fast, so she could only watch the prince leave.
"what to do?"
Li Susu murmured, her heart filled with a huge panic. She lowered her head and looked at her bulging belly. Why hasn't she given birth yet?
In the study, Chu Cong arranged everything properly, and then he heard Qing Wu say, "Your Majesty, the concubine invites you."
Chu Cong paused, thinking that he was about to go to Nancheng. Li Susu was about to give birth, so he should make some arrangements. At least, she and the child must be safe.
On the concubine's side...
Chu Cong stood up and went straight to Qiutang Courtyard.
Concubine Fang had already prepared a feast of delicacies and was waiting for Chu Cong to come over. She said, "Your Highness, I know you are very busy, so I specially prepared this dinner in advance as a farewell dinner for you."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of all matters in the mansion. I will protect the child in Concubine Li's belly with my life. Anyone who dares to harm them will be my mortal enemy."
"If anything happens to them, I am willing to die as an apology."
Concubine Fang's statement made Chu Cong feel relieved. He looked at Concubine Fang, who had been wronged before but had no complaints and even burned incense and ate vegetarian food. She... had been a sister of Qiu Rong, and she had always protected the people in the backyard like Qiu Rong.
Chu Cong's eyes softened as he said, "Concubine, I'm not at home. Thank you, mother and son, for your hard work."
Sensing the gentleness in the prince's tone, Concubine Fang's eyes lit up, and a smile crossed her brows. She imitated Gu Qiurong's tolerant and generous manner to the letter, and said, "Prince, these are what I should do."
That night, Concubine Fang once again felt the prince's tenderness. She was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that learning from Gu Qiurong was useful!
