Chapter 114 No lingering feelings
Cheng Nianying tried on the dress first.
Nanny Shi laughed repeatedly and said, "It fits perfectly. There's nothing to alter."
Cheng Nianying didn't say anything. She sat at the table, picked up the bowl of medicine, and leaned in to sniff it carefully.
Aunt Shi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
There's nothing unusual about this medicine.
They are just some Atractylodes macrocephala, Chuanxiong, Astragalus membranaceus and other things... they really replenish qi and strengthen the spleen.
But to be cautious.
Cheng Nianying pushed the medicine bowl away: "I can't drink it, it's bitter."
Nanny Shi was surprised: "He drank it before..." She paused and naturally would not question her master.
Cheng Nianying lowered her head, took a sip, and then spit it all out on her handkerchief with a "wow".
When he raised his head, he still looked a little pitiful: "I really can't drink it. I feel sick as soon as I drink it."
Nanny Shi's expression changed slightly, and she had a guess.
Could it be that... she's pregnant?
She quickly ordered the servants to remove the medicine bowls and asked for hot water. She wiped Cheng Nianying's face and said with a smile, "Then don't drink it."
It was easy to reject it, which made Cheng Nianying's guess seem even more suspicious.
Cheng Nianying blinked, but still chose not to drink the medicine.
Later, Cheng Nianying simply did not go to see Qin Yurong, but asked Nanny Shi to invite Chu Zhen over.
It was perfectly normal to ask her mother to accompany her for a chat, and Madam Shi immediately complied.
Chu Zhen walked in, and her expression immediately fell: "What happened? Why was it detained?"
Cheng Nianying looked at her.
Chu Zhen hurriedly said, "Mother didn't mean anything else, she was just a little worried."
The deep marks between her brows showed that she had indeed been frightened in the past few days.
Cheng Nianying responded with a "hmm".
"Sister" Qin Yurong is short-sighted and acts without considering the consequences, but the Marquis's wife is different.
Cheng Nianying asked bluntly, "If the prince knew everything..."
Chu Zhen suddenly stopped: "Why are you saying this suddenly?"
"The prince's attitude has been a little strange recently."
"What's strange about that?"
"He's watching over me, testing me."
Chu Zhen was a little scared when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down and whispered, "If you knew everything, how could you still stand here?"
As she spoke, she glanced towards the bed obscurely: "How could I be intimate with you?"
It is not right to infer based on the results.
Cheng Nianying gave one last piece of advice: "If you come with me and fake your own death to escape... then we can truly absolve the Marquis's mansion of its guilt."
Because there is no evidence of death.
Chu Zhen was silent for a while, then said, "You don't have to worry."
Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes. It seemed that she and the Marquis's family could not be one family.
Then just have a legitimate identity.
She whispered, "The prince is very suspicious. It's impossible for Madam to take me out of the house."
Chu Zhen was a little anxious and opened her mouth to say something.
Cheng Nianying said: "This is what I think..."
She whispered a few words to Chu Zhen, and then asked Nanny Shi to send the person back.
Then he went back to sleep on the bed.
In the eyes of the prince, she probably didn't have much strength.
As for Chu Zhen, she also met Qin Yurong under the pretext of asking about the Princess's life.
Chu Zhen had a strange expression on her face and said, "She asked me to ask you about the Queen's birthday banquet. Did you hear about it from Prince Liang?"
Qin Yurong was shocked: "Yes, yes...but I didn't say anything, how did she know?"
yes.
After these two dealings, Chu Zhen had a vague feeling that this little girl was not so easy to control.
Now thinking back carefully to the day when I was married off in the Marquis' Mansion, I cried my eyes out and acted really well, but she was hardly moved at all.
If she were a little maid, and one day she suddenly discovered that she was the daughter of a marquis, wouldn't she be so excited and happy that she would hug each other and cry bitterly?
"Mom, did she say anything else?" Qin Yurong asked.
Chu Zhen came back to her senses and calmed herself down.
Who happened to have such a face?
The road has come this far.
Chu Zhen raised her head and said, "If you say yes, she will tell you something. Come closer and listen."
Qin Yurong's expression changed several times quickly: "No, no... Is this okay?"
"I think she makes sense." She's much smarter than Qin Yurong. Chu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

In a blink of an eye, the Queen’s birthday banquet was approaching.
When Fu Yi returned from court, Wu Xun came to greet him, his eyes full of joy, and whispered, "I don't think it's been changed back in recent days."
"Yeah." Fu Yi responded, but he didn't look very happy.
Wu Xun asked quietly, "Is the Princess herself shaken? I think so too. Even if she is a piece of stone, it's time to warm it up. The Prince has been treating her very well these days..."
Fu Yi interrupted: "Do you think she doesn't want to change?"
He chuckled strangely, his eyes still cold: "Waiting for the birthday party."
Wu Xun suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Fu Yi walked towards Youhuangyuan with a normal expression.
Inside the door, Cheng Nianying was squatting and playing with a kitten. The kitten pushed her sleeve back, revealing a piece of her white wrist.
Fu Yi walked over, pulled her up from the ground, and looked at her repeatedly: "Is your injury healed?"
Cheng Nianying responded sullenly, "Yeah."
"The new imperial physician is very effective." Fu Yi said softly.
No way. She only recovered after taking the pills in the building. She hadn't been feeling well before, so she suspected that her recovery had slowed down because she hadn't taken the pills.
Now that I've taken the medicine, my sense of smell and taste have recovered, and my injuries have also healed.
But Cheng Nianying still responded: "Well, this is good."
Fu Yi chuckled: "If the imperial physician heard this, he would be very sad."
It seems like he has returned to his previous attitude.
Cheng Nianying looked up at him.
I feel a little sad.
He is the same as the nobles... He is also ruthless and can be gentle when he is happy, but can be cruel when he is unhappy.
All nobles are the same.
So does Chu Zhen.
Cheng Nianying no longer had a trace of nostalgia. She looked up and muttered to Fu Yi, "I said that the imperial physician was not good..."
Fu Yi was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to the days before Chu Zhen shamelessly brought the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion to visit him.
Like wasn't it good back then?
Fu Yi touched Cheng Nianying's head.
Cheng Nianying let him touch her, then yawned: "I'm sleepy."
"Then go to sleep." Fu Yi signaled the servants to help her.
Nanny Shi came over, very worried: "Are you really pregnant? Master, do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
"No." Fu Yi knew very well.

Finally, the Queen's birthday arrived.
The carriage was ready, and Nanny Shi personally helped the Princess change into her dress.
The slender figure, wearing a heavy crown, looked overwhelmed and drowsy.
Madam Shi was shocked: "He can't even open his eyes..."
"Just take care of it." Fu Yi said lightly, and asked someone to help her get into the carriage first.
Then he turned his eyes and saw the maid's face in the crowd.
The maid followed behind.
Sure enough, this is the day I’ve been waiting for.
Why couldn't he hide his joy when he returned from Prince Liang's mansion that day? The answer is obvious.
——Because he received help from King Liang.
Fu Yi sat on the sedan chair and said, "Let's go."
How could she know that even King Liang couldn't help her?
