The third prince collected his thoughts and slowly turned around.
He opened the secret letter and quickly read its contents.
His face grew even darker.
The air in the study suddenly turned cold. The guard froze and lowered his head to reduce his presence.
The third prince was silent for a moment, holding the secret letter in his hand, until his hands were clenched into fists and the secret letter was wrinkled, then he spoke.
"Is there any news from Ghost Master?"
The guard hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Master Gui said that two more herbs would be enough to complete the recipe."
After hearing the news, the Third Prince's gloomy expression finally eased a little.
He ordered: "Send someone secretly to assist Ghost Elder. We must find the last two herbs as soon as possible. We don't have much time left..."
"I obey your command!"
After the guards left, the third prince walked to the candlestick beside him with the secret letter in his hand. He placed the secret letter on the candle and burned it until he saw the secret letter burn out as soon as he saw it. Then he turned around and left the study.
…
When Jiang Jingyu was seven months pregnant, her belly was already showing and her body began to swell.
Fu Yanci has always done these things personally, massaging her shoulders and legs. Today, he massaged Jiang Jingyu's calves as usual, and only put on her shoes and socks when the swelling had almost subsided.
Fu Yanci helped Jiang Jingyu get out of bed by her arm and tucked her hair behind her ears. "It's a nice day today. Let me go for a walk with you, Ayu."
Xiang Lao said that pregnant women should walk around appropriately, so Fu Yanci would take Jiang Jingyu to the back garden for a walk every day.
Jiang Jingyu nodded and let Fu Yanci tie the cloak on her.
It was October, and although the sun was shining outside, there was still a hint of chill in the breeze, which penetrated into the collar and made people shiver.
Fu Yanci held Jiang Jingyu's arm and was about to accompany her for a walk in the back garden when Qin came over.
"Mother saw that it was a nice day today and was planning to take Jingyu out for a walk. Now that everyone is out, how about we go for a walk in the back garden?"
Qin came to Jiang Jingyu and took her from Fu Yanci.
"Yanci, go and do your thing. I'll take care of Jingyu."
After Qin finished speaking, she supported Jiang Jingyu and walked out, completely ignoring Fu Yanci, whose face had turned black behind them.
As the months went by, Jiang Jingyu began to become sleepy. Although Fu Yanci stayed in the general's mansion after leaving the court, he actually didn't have much time to talk to Jiang Jingyu.
Now, he finally got the chance to put down his work and spend some time alone with Jiang Jingyu, but he was intercepted halfway.
Qin supported Jiang Jingyu and walked in the back garden for a while, and finally stopped in a pavilion.
In order to make it easier for Jiang Jingyu to sit down, all the stone benches in the general's mansion were covered with cushions in the autumn. Now Jiang Jingyu and Qin Shi could sit directly on the stone benches without worrying about catching a cold.
Jiang Jingyu was not in a good condition to go out, so Qin told her the gossip outside as usual.
Qin was talking happily when Yinghong came to her in a hurry.
"Madam, a letter from Fuyang."
"Fuyang? Could it be written by my second sister?"
Qin was a little surprised. Although she and Qin Fenglan had a close relationship, the two sisters did not usually exchange letters.
Qin opened the letter with surprise. After seeing the contents of the letter, her expression instantly changed from surprise to shock!
"Mother, who's the letter from?"
After reading it, Qin did not hide anything and handed the letter directly to Jiang Jingyu.
"It was written by your second aunt in Fuyang."
Jiang Jingyu quickly scanned the contents and understood: "So it turns out that my second aunt's daughter is getting married. Is mother going back to Fuyang to attend my cousin's wedding banquet?"
“No!”
Qin refused without thinking.
Qin's eyes were complicated, and she shook her head, unable to put it into words: "I didn't expect Yun'er to ignore Second Sister's objections and choose this marriage!"
Seeing her attitude, Jiang Jingyu asked in confusion, "The letter says that cousin Lingyun is betrothed to the prefect of Fuyang. The prefect is a fifth-rank official with a good family background. Is there anything wrong with this marriage?"
Qin gritted her teeth, feeling a little uncomfortable: "The prefect is already over fifty years old, a few years older than my second sister."
Jiang Jingyu: “…”
Before Jiang Jingyu could digest it, Qin dropped another bombshell.
"Besides, the prefect already has a family. Yun'er will not marry into the family to become the mistress, but the eighteenth concubine."
Jiang Jingyu, who was sent flying for the second time, said: "......?"
At such a young age, why don’t you find a soulmate to marry, but become an old man’s concubine?
What's the point?
Is it because he is ugly or because he is old? ?
Jiang Jingyu expressed her incomprehension but respect.
Then wish her success.
Qin sighed and instructed Yinghong, "Send some gifts over, and ask Elder Xiang to prescribe a prescription for Second Sister to treat her heart qi stagnation and send it over as well."
"yes."
Qi Lingyun gave herself to an old man over fifty years old because of power. Needless to say, Qin Fenglan was furious.
Ever since she had that dream, Qin no longer cared about Qi Lingyun, but her second sister had always been close to her, so she must take care of herself!
A month later.
The letter that arrived in the middle of the night broke the tranquility of the general's mansion.
Fu Yanci left a kiss on the forehead of the sleeping Jiang Jingyu, tucked the quilt for her, and then left the room. He took the letter to the old lady's courtyard. Qin also hurried over after getting the news.
The old lady held the letter and looked at its contents with a serious expression.
Snap——
After reading the letter, the old lady became furious and slammed the letter on the table.
