Chapter 200 I Won’t Leave
After Yan Su left, only Xie Chengyan and Ye Lanzhou were left in the yard. Ye Lanzhou knew that Xie Chengyan had heard what he said, and was stunned for a moment.
The courtyard was silent for a moment, with only the sound of the cold wind blowing.
Xie Chengyan took a step closer, his boot soles crushing a dry leaf with a small sound. "My future is unknown. I may become a leader among men, or I may end up a prisoner. If you want a stable life..."
He paused, his eyes fixed on Ye Lanzhou, afraid to miss any expression on her face.
"I can still send someone away. It doesn't matter if it's in Jiangnan or the outer frontier, as long as it's within Dayin, you can choose."
He said this again. Xie Chengyan was decisive and ruthless in front of outsiders, but Ye Lanzhou knew that people like him had never been firmly chosen by others, so when someone resolutely stood on his side, his first reaction was not to be moved, but to distrust.
He didn't believe anyone could stand by him, so he needed to confirm again and again whether she would leave.
"Xie Chengyan." She suddenly called him by his full name, raised her eyes, reached out and held Xie Chengyan's fingertips, and said, "I said I won't leave. No matter how many times you ask me, I won't leave."
He was stunned.
The wind blew through the courtyard, and Xie Chengyan suddenly hugged her in his arms with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to knead her into his flesh and blood.
Ye Lanzhou didn't believe that Xie Chengyan just wandered around the palace and found her. He must have come to the backyard for something.
Sure enough, the news sent from the imperial mausoleum was that Ye Lanzhou had to return to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
The above means that since Ye Lanzhou is pregnant with the royal heir, even if she is a member of the royal family, she cannot stay in the imperial mausoleum during the New Year. If this gets out, it may damage the reputation of the royal family.
This matter made Ye Lanzhou worried. She should have been pregnant for more than five months, and her figure should be showing. Although she had gained some weight recently and was rounder than when she was in Nanyang, her figure was still far from showing off like Yan Su, especially the bulge in her abdomen.
Although there were people who could be pregnant without showing their figure, they were really a minority. If she entered the palace like this, it would definitely arouse suspicion. After thinking for a long time, she had to find some gauze in her medicine box and wrap it around her abdomen, thinking that it would at least look presentable.
Ye Lanzhou took out all the white gauze he had, stood in front of the bronze mirror, and gestured at his waist twice. Suddenly, he felt that this was a bit funny. He frowned and muttered, "Isn't this too fake?"
Through the bronze mirror, she saw Xie Chengyan's face, which seemed to be smiling. He leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes swept over her slender waist, and then he stood up and said, "Turn around."
As soon as she turned around, she felt a pair of warm hands around her lower back, the fingertips hooked on one end of the gauze, slowly moved around behind her, and tied a knot neatly at the back. The breath sprayed on her neck, making it itchy.
"Winter clothes are thick, so you won't notice anything unusual. After the palace banquet, you must stay in a side hall of the Cining Palace for one night, waiting to go to Guangfu Temple to worship your ancestors the next day."
Ye Lanzhou knew that Yanxi Palace was Xu Surong's residence, so why did he arrange for her to be there? Could it be that Xu Surong knew about her fake pregnancy?
Xie Chengyan seemed to be able to read her emotions, as if he had guessed her thoughts, and said, "You have kept your affairs well hidden. You don't have to worry about people in the palace finding out. If Xu Surong dares to arrange for you to stay in the Cining Palace, she won't do anything to you. If something happens to you there, she won't be able to explain it even if she speaks a hundred times. Even the Queen Mother won't be able to protect her then."
