Chapter 53 His Highness is Here Again
Seeing that the prince looked worried, Zhang Sicheng and Yongtai, who were waiting outside, wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how to start.
The emperor has never been very capable, and almost all the decisions he made had to be cleaned up by others.
First, the Queen Mother...
The minister is behind...
Soon, it will be the prince's turn.
Yan Shixu turned his head to look at the gate of Wenhua Palace and let out a long sigh.
In the past, he would have definitely discussed this matter with the Empress Dowager.
But Prince Yu was the youngest son that the Empress Dowager loved the most. If he told her, it might make the Empress Dowager unhappy.
After all, there is no substantial evidence yet.
It is also untenable to accuse Prince Yu of preparing for rebellion based on the number of war horses.
Yan Shixu was walking out with Zhang Sicheng and Yongtai when he saw a eunuch holding a white porcelain bottle and sneaking towards them against the wall of the palace.
His action made people's first reaction be that the other party wanted to poison him.
Yan Shixu nodded his chin towards Zhang Sicheng.
Zhang Sicheng immediately understood what was going on and captured the man.
When the eunuch saw the prince, he was a little frightened and subconsciously hid the white porcelain bottle in his sleeve.
Yongtai quickly snatched the thing away, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, took a look at it himself, and then showed it to the prince.
"Your Highness, it's a pill."
Yan Shixu looked at the eunuch with a sharp gaze.
"You want to poison the emperor?"
The eunuch shook his head fiercely: "How could that be possible, Your Highness? This is the medicine that His Majesty takes every day to strengthen his body."
Yan Shixu naturally knew that the imperial physician had prescribed some tonic medicines for his father to strengthen his body and that someone would deliver them every month.
Then why is this eunuch so nervous?
Could it be that he replaced the medicine?
Zhang Sicheng also took a look at the pill, and not knowing what he was thinking of, he leaned over to Yan Shixu's ear and whispered something.
"Your Highness, this is a red lead pill, which can greatly increase sexual desire and physical strength."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shixu's face darkened.
He threw the porcelain bottle back to the eunuch and walked away.
Zhang Sicheng and Yongtai hurried to follow.
The two of them suddenly realized that the emperor was old, but he could still favor his concubines every night. It turned out that he used this thing to force him to do so.
Yongtai looked at Zhang Sicheng with a strange expression and asked curiously:
"Zhang Weiwei, how do you know about that thing? Have you used it before?"
Zhang Sicheng's face also turned dark, and he kicked Yongtai.
Yongtai dodged flexibly.
"Looking at how angry you are, you must have used it."
Zhang Sicheng was furious, lowering his voice to emphasize, "I'm as strong as a dragon and a tiger, why would I need that thing to buff me up?!"
Yan Shixu listened to the two people whispering in the back, discussing the lasting effect of the pill, and his face turned green again.
He turned to look at the two of them and said quietly, "You guys have so much free time? I'll leave the imperial toilet to you. If you don't clean it properly, you won't be allowed to eat!"
Zhang Sicheng: “…”
Yongtai: “…”
Misfortune comes unexpectedly.
The two of them had sad faces and followed the prince back to the East Palace with their heads down, and began the task of washing the toilet.
…
Yaohua Palace.
Wen Li'er didn't go to bed early tonight.
Even if she wanted to sleep, Nanny Qin wouldn't let her.
When Nanny Qin stretched her neck to look outside for the hundredth time, Wen Li'er let out a long sigh.
The nanny's look of anticipation makes her seem like she lacks the integrity of a Fengyi official.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should go to the palace gate to take the place of the nanny, the prince came...
The prince was wearing an apricot-yellow dragon robe and a golden nine-tassel crown on his head. He had handsome features, deep eyes, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, a tall figure, and a faint sense of alienation and a noble aura.
Wen Li'er thought that he was scared away by her last night and probably would not come before the baby was born.
Unexpectedly, I got it wrong.
"Your Highness~~~"
Supported by Qingzhu and Qingmei, she walked up to him and looked up at him with her round face.
After carefully examining it, he nodded in affirmation, saying, "Your Highness has become thinner and darker, but still as handsome as before."
Seeing her trying to please him, Yan Shixu snorted and started to settle the account.
"Why didn't you wait for me last night?"
Wen Li'er looked at Yan Shixu with a guilty conscience and continued with what Nanny Qin said last night.
"I waited at the palace gate for a long time... Seeing that His Highness hadn't arrived, I thought he was busy and the child in my belly didn't listen to my urging to sleep, so I went to sleep..."
When he looked up, he saw the prince staring at him with a serious look.
Wen Li'er's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her lie had been exposed, and she quickly confessed everything in one breath.
"Yesterday, I received a pig's trotter from His Highness, and I was so happy that I asked Chef Li to stew one. Since it was sent by His Highness, I didn't waste any of it and ate it all. I felt a little full, so I went for a walk for half an hour. After the walk, I felt sleepy and my body was not under my control, so I fell asleep soon..."
When Yan Shixu saw her confession and leniency, he suddenly laughed out loud.
He held her in his arms, touched her soft flesh, and suddenly felt a solid sense of satisfaction.
But he didn't let her go so easily.
"You can sleep well without seeing me, huh?"
When Wen Li'er heard the long tail tone, she hurriedly hugged the person back.
"I'm pregnant, so I tend to feel sleepy. Besides, His Highness will come sooner or later, so I just need to wait patiently."
She was telling the truth. She was pregnant with his child, and he would have come even if he didn't come to see her.
So, it’s just a matter of early and late.
When Yan Shixu heard this, a feeling of pity suddenly arose in his heart.
This idiot, if he takes a year or two off and comes back, will she just wait silently?
He rubbed her round, plump face and felt its smoothness in his hand.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the pair of swollen white rabbits were squeezed out to form a deep... groove.
Yan Shixu's nose felt a little hot for a moment, and the wolf's light appeared in his eyes again.
People have gained weight, and this couple is much bigger than before.
Wen Li'er looked down in the direction he was looking, and her face instantly turned red.
She gained weight quickly, so the Crown Princess asked someone to make her a skirt, but it soon became too small.
Later, the Crown Princess simply asked the embroiderer to make her several skirts as big as sacks, which made her look particularly bloated when she wore them.
Upon learning that His Highness had returned, Nanny Qin was worried that her mistress would be disliked by His Highness if she dressed like that, so she took Qingmei and Qingzhu to make a skirt that would fit her overnight.
It’s just that… the chest area doesn’t fit well, and it makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
Wen Li'er tugged at her new skirt and said shyly, "I'll go change right away."
Yan Shixu held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "No need to change, it looks good."
When Wen Li'er heard this, a faint blush spread across her skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heart beat unusually fast.
Boom boom boom…
Yan Shixu was pressed tightly against her at this moment, and her heartbeat was transmitted to him through their skin.
He only felt the blood rushing up all over his body, and that place was swollen and painful.
