Chapter 41 Snake Pit



I always feel like I'm watching an adulterer.

Is it her illusion?

Lu Huaixi himself also felt that something was wrong and could hardly control his urge to say goodbye and leave.

But when she saw Tu Qingyu smiling at her, she stayed firm again.

While eating, two pairs of chopsticks reached into Tu Qingyu's bowl at the same time, picking up the pickled radish pieces that Tu Qingyu liked to eat.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Huaixi was the first to give in.

Just when she was about to put away her chopsticks, Tu Qingyu picked up the bowl and took the dish she had picked up.

"Thank you, Sister Huaixi."

Lu Huaixi almost didn't dare to look at Jiang Jingchuan's expression. She kept her head down and ate her own food.

After finishing the meal, he immediately said goodbye.

"Then take care, Sister Huaixi. Come over and play with us when you have time."

Almost the moment she lost sight of Lu Huaixi's back, she was picked up.

"Your Highness!" She was genuinely shocked. "I'm still pregnant."

"Don't worry, I'll hold you steady."

He held her in his arms and sat down on the couch, then held her head and kissed her, a deep kiss that was gentle yet a little domineering.

After the kiss, he looked up and said, "Now I'm not only on guard against men, I want women too, right?"

"Ah?" Tu Qingyu looked bewildered. "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that she really didn't understand, Jiang Jingchuan sighed and said, "Forget it. Why would I bother with a little fool like you?"

"Your Highness!" she cried back, "how can you call me a fool?"

Seeing that she was getting angry, Jiang Jingchuan quickly coaxed her, "You're not stupid, you're smart."

"But why do I feel like Your Highness is trying to coax me?"

"I'm not kidding you. There's no one in the entire East Palace who's smarter than you." Otherwise, why would he be so reluctant to let go?

Tu Qingyu raised his chin proudly, "I think I'm smart too."

That look is as delicate as it can be.

Jiang Jingchuan loved her like this and felt that all his efforts over the past few days were not in vain.

"Were you scared when you saw the snake today?"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw the little girl's face stiffen, and he hurriedly hugged her and took pictures.

"Don't be afraid anymore, don't be afraid anymore, it's all in the past."

After a while, she relaxed and nodded, saying, "I was really scared at the time. I'm really afraid of such soft things without legs."

As she spoke, she clutched his sleeve with her hand, "Your Highness, you don't know, but when I saw the snake, I felt like I couldn't move at all."

"If it weren't for Sister Huaixi, I would have been bitten." She looked down at her belly again, "I don't know if the baby in my belly can be saved, or even my life..."

"Nonsense!"

As if he knew what she was going to say, Jiang Jingchuan interrupted her.

Tu Qingyu also knew that he didn't like to hear such talk of death, so he changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, you must appreciate Sister Huaixi. She protected our baby."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

In fact, in this deep palace, the best thing is to have a child, even if it is a daughter.

Anyway, Princess Qianyuan didn't marry into a foreign clan, so she lived a very comfortable life.

But now Jiang Jingchuan has to keep his virginity for her, so it seems that she can't really push him away.

Otherwise, this kind of thing can be done once or twice when he is not interested.

It would be too much to push someone out when you have already fallen in love with her and have made it clear that you will not touch anyone else, and have not even slept with the new concubine in the palace.

Or maybe let your child find a godmother in the future to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life. I think this is a good idea.

"Oh, Your Highness." She seemed to have thought of something, "Who on earth wants to harm me?"

Jiang Jingchuan paused as he stroked her back. He whispered, "It's Princess Wei Yang."

"Princess? I don't understand. Why would the princess want to hurt me? I've never even seen a princess."

"She and Prince Liang are born of the same mother. Prince Liang is my sixth brother."

Tu Qingyu understood, but his face was still confused.

Jiang Jingchuan rubbed her head and said, "Forget it. You just need to remember that your husband will avenge you."

"Okay." Tu Qingyu smiled sweetly at him, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I would be happier if you called me husband."

Tu Qingyu didn't say anything, and Jiang Jingchuan didn't force her now. He knew that not being able to be her legal wife was a thorn in her heart.

Sooner or later he will have to pull out this thorn.

Princess Wei Yang in the princess's mansion was anxiously waiting for news.

After walking around the hall for a while, she asked Mammy again, "There's been no news for so long, could it be that we've failed?"

The nanny comforted her, "It's also possible that the Eastern Palace is under martial law and the news can't be delivered."

"But...what if it fails? Will the prince find out it was me?"

"No, that's the queen's."

"Yes." She comforted herself: "That's the person left by my mother, there will be no mistakes."

Unfortunately, as time passed, she finally had to face reality.

My mother's people are very useful, but the prince is not a pushover either.

Now I just pray that the prince doesn’t find out about her.

Unfortunately, she was kidnapped from her princess residence almost at dusk.

When he woke up again, his hands and feet were tied up in a carriage.

"Who is it?" She struggled but couldn't break free. "Quickly let me go. Do you know who I am?"

"How dare you! I am Princess Weiyang of Qianyuan. Who are you? If you dare to kidnap me, my father will not let you go!"

"Did you hear that? Let me go!"

She kept shouting, but unfortunately no one responded.

Half an hour passed like this, and she felt that the carriage was getting farther and farther away from the capital, and finally she began to get scared.

"Please let me go. What do you want? Money or power? As long as you let me go, I will satisfy you."

"Did you hear that? I'm really a princess!"

Still no one paid any attention. After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

At this time, the sun had already set completely, but the red glow in the sky had not disappeared.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she was almost dazzled by the rosy glow in the sky.

"Sister Wei Yang, how are you?"

Princess Wei Yang looked towards the voice. "It's you? Prince, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I'm not doing anything, I just want to show Sister Wei Yang something good." Jiang Jingchuan waved his hand, and someone behind him escorted Princess Wei Yang forward.

As the group walked into the woods, a deep pit gradually came into view. She thought the prince wanted to push her into the pit as a punishment.

Unexpectedly, she could only see clearly once she got closer to the deep pit.

There are tens of thousands of snakes in such a big pit.

Big and small, densely packed, they swam back and forth at the bottom of the pit.

Half of the pit wall was smeared with realgar, making it almost impossible for snakes to crawl up.

But at first glance, her legs went weak, and she looked at Jiang Jingchuan in disbelief: "What do you want to do?"
