Chapter 290 Just be yourself
There was no news from Chen Heng's side, and she didn't care about the affairs in the palace, but from this incident, it can be seen that Prince Ning's Mansion is quite well-informed about the news in the palace.
Even though she didn't care, now that she knew about it, Chen Heng wanted to know, so she asked Xie Jian as soon as he came.
"My sister-in-law said you've had a poor appetite and haven't been very energetic these past few days. But when you talk about other people's affairs, you seem quite energetic." Xie Jian washed his hands and waved Ah Chan away. "Do you want to call a doctor?"
Chen Heng really didn't have much of an appetite. Ever since she saw the live pearls that day, she had lost her appetite all of a sudden. She even felt like vomiting every time she saw eggs. "Then you stayed with me that day."
After a while, Shen Heng thought about how she and Xie Jian had been trying quite hard at night for the past two years, but they still couldn't conceive. She hurriedly asked the doctor to take her pulse and to check Xie Jian's pulse as well: "Why not ask the doctor to check my sister-in-law and the nanny's pulses as well?"
"Hey." Xie Jian sat down and took the case file. He mentioned the matter of Nanny Shan: "Nanny Shan, in order to make the emperor favor the queen, put a magic potion on the emperor."
"Incense?"
"This is a common tactic used by the concubines in the palace. After smelling it, they will want to get closer to each other." It is a common method and can be considered a kind of fun. Unfortunately, Nanny Shan used it too much.
"So the Emperor beat Nanny Shan to death?" Chen Heng couldn't believe it. "Nanny Shan was wrong. She had been with him and the Sixth Princess all these years. She shouldn't have been beaten to death."
Imprisoned, driven out of the palace, and even tortured, it was somewhat cruel to beat to death the nanny who had grown up with him.
"To Liu Jian, Nanny Shan's company is nothing more than the Empress's destiny. How can there be any feelings for her? Besides, he can even abandon himself, let alone a nanny." Xie Jian sneered, and anger suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Chen Heng had rarely seen Xie Jian angry in the past two years. Or rather, he had long since become expressionless. "What's wrong?"
"Liu Yu's wound has been getting worse."
"How could it get worse?" Shen Heng thought of the two times she met Liu Yu. His face looked abnormal. The first time he coughed heavily and he looked weak. The last time he only had a quick glance.
"He has no intention of surviving and refuses to take medicine. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed him with a sword." Xie Jian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and felt that all his efforts were in vain.
Are you unwilling to live such a miserable life? Xie Jian and Lord Lu even let go of their father's hatred for the sake of their family, but this Liu Yu can't get out of the shadow of his childhood? Chen Heng listened with anger and helplessness.
Some people can let go in a moment, while others will never let go in their entire life.
Xie Jian didn't want to think about Liu Gang anymore. If he wanted to die, he could die. He wouldn't stop him. "Aheng, I heard from Liu Gang that you handed over all the shops to him to manage?"
"Yes. If I were the wife of the Secretary of State, there would be many people watching me. If I were always in the spotlight, I would easily attract gossip."
"You don't have to worry about me. I once said that I would not confine you to the inner house. You can do whatever you want." Xie Jian said. Chen Heng is Chen Heng. He doesn't want her to become like those noble ladies. He doesn't need another A'heng like her. His A'heng just needs to be herself.
Chen Heng felt warm in her heart: "Ajian is so kind. You just became the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Once you are firmly in the position, no matter what I do, no one will say anything. Now, those who are targeting you in the dark must be looking for your faults. If they can't find you, then they will find your family. I can't just focus on my own happiness."
Love between husband and wife is mutual. Shen Heng will naturally not let Xie Jian down for his love for her. Her abilities are limited, so she can't help him much. She can only avoid causing him trouble.
Xie Jian hugged her tightly. Within two years, he would definitely secure this position. Not only this position, but also the six ministries, he wanted to control them all.
