Shen Zean didn't trust them. To be more precise, Shen Zean didn't trust anyone.
These commanders who have been with him for many years all have a kind of poison in their bodies. This poison will not harm their bodies, but they must take the antidote on time every month, otherwise they will die suddenly.
Today is not the day to distribute the antidote, and being able to provide a two-month supply of antidote is already a sign of his sincerity.
Therefore, they will not have any other thoughts about the next arrangements.
When Chen Ze'an returned to Rong Xi's room, the sky was already turning pale.
He tiptoed to the bedside and looked at Rong Xi's sleeping face, feeling that he could never see enough of it.
He was afraid that if he fell asleep he would wake Rong Xi up. He heard that pregnant women should avoid being tired and not getting enough rest, so he just sat quietly by the side, imagining the future.
After that, he made preliminary arrangements for everything, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to escape.
He made too many enemies and the emperor was very suspicious of him. If he were not still useful, he would have found a way to deal with him long ago.
Even if he could wait until the new emperor ascended the throne in the future, his children still could not truly call him father.
Even if he had come up with a reason to say that the child was adopted, there would still be people gossiping about Rong Xi behind his back.
He knew the personalities of these people in the capital very well.
So he had no choice but to escape, and only by escaping and leaving here forever, could he and Rong Xi live a normal life as a married couple, and their children would not have to live in fear with them.
.
When Rong Xi woke up, she saw Shen Ze'an sleeping with his hands propped up on the bed. Could it be that he hadn't slept all night?!
As soon as she made a movement, Shen Ze'an immediately became alert. Realizing that Rong Xi had woken up, he personally helped her to get up, put on her shoes, helped her wash and comb her hair. He was busy all morning without stopping, taking away all the work from Baohuan, making the little girl look unhappy.
That's my job.
However, seeing Duke Du like this, Baohuan was also happy. In all these years in the palace, let alone the current emperor and empress, even the late emperor and the empress dowager had never gotten along like this.
This shows that the Duke really loves the princess.
"Xi'er, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
"Xi'er, are you hungry? I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
To be honest, Rong Xi didn't have much of an appetite, but since the food was served, he still ate a little.
"Okay, take a break. You've been busy all morning."
Chen Ze'an wanted to do everything himself and didn't want to delegate it to others. In addition, the weather was hot, and after being busy all morning, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.
After hearing what Rong Xi said, he finally sat down and dismissed all the servants. Shen Ze'an then told Rong Xi about the plan he had made last night.
"Xi'er, you know my situation. If people knew you were pregnant, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. I don't want you and the child to be in danger, so I want you to leave for a while."
"What are your plans?"
Shen Ze'an told Rong Xi everything he was thinking, watching her expression carefully, afraid that she would not want to leave.
She is a princess, a daughter of gold.
"Don't worry, even if you leave here, I will make sure you and the child live well and will never treat you or the child unfairly."
Rong Xi originally thought that he would want to get rid of the emperor, control the people in that position, and dominate his own discourse power, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to leave.
It's not that she can't understand it, and she has to say that this is indeed a good idea.
"Well, wherever you are, the kids and I will be there."
After hearing this, Shen Zean's nose felt sore again. He didn't know why, but he had been like this for a while.
He tried his best to suppress the urge to cry, fearing that Rong Xi would laugh at him.
"Okay, it's not easy to escape death. To be absolutely safe and not to arouse suspicion, something really has to happen. I want to get you out of here first, otherwise those who want to get rid of me will target you first. After all, you are my weak spot, and you are my wife. They all know this very well."
His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was ready for anything.
"Um."
Shen Zean smiled, and he put his hand on Rong Xi's pulse again, like a child who could feel it like this.
"Master will also go with you. Although he may be unconscious at times, don't worry. I will send someone to take care of him."
"The one who gave you the Sky Shield."
"Well, he has lived in the palace his entire life without any children. Now I am the only one who will take care of him in his old age and see him to the end."
Rong Xi had never seen this person before, and was a little curious about him. What kind of person could raise Shen Ze'an to be like this?
Although the two were not related by blood, Shen Ze'an even thought of taking him away when he was escaping death, so he must have regarded him as a relative.
After the discussion, all the subsequent matters need to be arranged. Shen Ze'an should be very busy now, but he doesn't want to be separated from Rong Xi for a moment.
Before he could hug her enough, someone came from the palace again. It was the Queen who wanted to summon Rongxi into the palace.
The person who came to report the news was Lu Zhou. Looking at the look in Du Gong's eyes, he now wished he was underground. He reflected for a long time, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where he went wrong.
"Go and tell the palace maid that Madam is not available today."
Shen Ze'an's voice was cold and stern, but he was afraid of scaring the child in Rong Xi's belly, so he lowered his voice.
He usually didn't want Rong Xi to enter the palace, and now that she was pregnant, he was afraid that she would fall if she left the room. How could he let her enter the palace alone and go to such a dangerous place?
Just as Lu Zhou was about to go out, Rong Xi stopped him.
"Please let them wait for a moment. I will enter the palace after I change my clothes."
Shen Ze'an couldn't hide his worry on his face, and he didn't ask Rong Xi until Lu Zhou left.
"Xi'er, how can you enter the palace alone in your current situation? If the Queen has any problems, let her handle them herself."
Rong Xi patted his hand soothingly, "It's okay. If I don't go, I'll be suspected. Didn't you say that you want me to leave first? Then I have to let the palace know the news first."
"But I'm worried about you entering the palace alone."
Rong Xi looked at her palm, and traces of golden spiritual power surrounded her palm.
"Don't worry, no one can touch me. Don't forget that even your people can't do anything to me."
"Things are different now. If I say you can't go, then you can't go."
.
In the carriage, Chen Ze'an repeatedly told Rong Xi that she was not allowed to eat anything in the palace. He also specially arranged for Rong Xi to have a maid who knew martial arts to follow her.
"Xi'er, promise me you won't stay overnight in the palace. Shen Zheng is about to leave the palace, so I'll wait for you at the palace gate. Here are some pastries made by the maids in the mansion. If you're hungry, eat these. You can't eat anything in the palace."
Rong Xi looked at the box of cakes and suddenly felt greedy. "Can I have a piece now?"
…
"Xi'er, did you hear what I said?"
Her indifferent look really worried Shen Ze'an.
"I heard you. Don't worry, I'm not a child."
"So what did I just say?"
…
