Chapter 227: Drawing a Line on the Ground



These women came to Prince Xuan's mansion for so many days, but only met Prince Xuan once.

Now the prince ordered them to go to the hall. For those who had expectations in their hearts, it seemed as if they suddenly saw hope.

"Please sit down." Bei Mingxuan didn't even look at them.

Fu Xue'er, who was standing by, saw that Bei Mingxuan had no intention of speaking again, so she said, "Your Highness, I have invited you all here today to inform you of something. It was the princess's idea to let you enter the palace, but Your Highness disagreed. After these past few days, Your Highness has considered it again and again, and it is not appropriate for you all to continue staying in the palace."

Some are happy, some are sad, and some don't care.

But no one dared to say anything.

Fu Xueer took out six silver notes and gave them to six people. "Take the silver notes with you. No matter where you go, you can exchange them for silver at Shengtong Bank."

That’s enough for now.

But Fu Xue'er seemed unwilling to accept this. She pondered in her mind and secretly glanced at Bei Mingxuan, "These are compensations for everyone. After all, when I invited everyone into the mansion, it was the princess's decision alone. Perhaps I didn't take into account..."

"The princess invited you here because of me," Bei Mingxuan suddenly interrupted Fu Xue'er, a warning flashing across her face. "I believe that when you entered the palace, the people around the princess told you that I didn't have much time left, and that I asked you to come here for the sake of my heir, is that correct?"

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

"Unfortunately, I don't care about you at all." Bei Mingxuan said without mercy, "Don't waste your best years in Prince Xuan's mansion. Take the banknotes and leave Prince Xuan's mansion directly."

No one spoke, and their faces all looked grim.

Fu Xue'er, who was standing by, whispered to Bei Mingxuan, "It's better to let the princess explain. After all, it was the princess who brought this here. Besides, everyone in Shu City knows that the princess selected six innocent women from the common people's homes for the prince's heir. If they leave like this, people outside will not know what's going on. Will it affect their reputations..."

Fu Xueer didn't finish her words when Bei Mingxuan looked at her coldly. She immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head, her heart pounding like a drum.

At this moment, the front hall was quiet, and everyone's breathing seemed so cautious.

After a moment, Bei Mingxuan stood up, his eyes swept over the six women, and finally landed on Fu Xueer. "You've considered everything very carefully. I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let the king and the princess down. If you succeed, you can continue to work in the palace. If you fail, you can leave."

When hitting a snake, strike at its most vulnerable part.

"...Yes." Fu Xueer looked serious, and it was impossible to tell what she was feeling inside.

You have to endure the suffering you have brought upon yourself, even if you have to kneel down.

She knew that when Bei Mingxuan said "it's done", he was warning her not to damage the princess's reputation.

He understood her, and she knew it too.

Bei Mingxuan received the news that night.

Fu Xueer did a great job and he was very satisfied.

"Is the princess still with the ghost doctor?" Bei Mingxuan stood in front of the swing, talking to Fu Cheng word by word. In front of him was the image of Chang'an sitting on the swing.

"Yes..." Fu Cheng had something in his mind that he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to express it.

Bei Mingxuan noticed something and glanced at him, "Do you have something to say? Is it related to Chang'an?"

"Yes!" Fu Cheng thought to himself that he had to tell the truth since the prince asked.

"explain!"

"I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose...it was just an accident." Fu Cheng said cautiously, "The Ghost Doctor calls her the master, and the Princess is the Sect Leader..."

"?" Bei Mingxuan frowned slightly, then relaxed.

Bei Mingxuan didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Fu Cheng was about to doubt whether Bei Mingxuan heard what he said, he heard him say casually.

"Just pretend you never heard it, never said it."

"Yes!" Fu Cheng thought for a moment and added, "I am sure that at that time, neither the princess nor the ghost doctor noticed me or heard their conversation."

Bei Mingxuan looked straight at Fu Cheng with a sharp gaze, "The reason."

"Master Li said she wanted to ask the Ghost Doctor for a non-bitter pregnancy-enhancing medicine. But she didn't dare go by herself, so I accompanied her. Because of the Ghost Doctor's special abilities, and because it was nighttime, I was worried about being haunted. So, when I entered his courtyard, I was extra careful and focused my inner energy on my ears... so I heard everything clearly. Then, perhaps because they heard someone enter the courtyard, the topic of conversation changed."

"Yeah." Bei Mingxuan said calmly, waving his hand to let Fu Cheng leave.

At this moment, Bei Mingxuan had both certainty and doubt, and wanted Fu Cheng to check, but... he seemed afraid of the results Fu Cheng would find.

The authorities are obsessed, which is indeed a good thing. Bei Mingxuan has walked into a dead end of his own and has confined himself to a small area.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Chang'an's voice rang in his ears. "Aren't you cold?"

The corners of his lips curled up in a gentle, elegant, and even more joyful way. "Did you get the non-bitter pregnancy medicine?"

"..." Chang'an's cheeks turned red, and he smiled but didn't say anything.

"Your Highness," said Li, the steward who had returned with Chang'an, with a smile, "I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare it, and it will be brought to the princess shortly."

Bei Mingxuan held Chang'an's hand and said, "It's warm, just right for warming my hands."

Chang An laughed, but didn't expose him. His hands were obviously warmer than hers. She glanced at him and said, "Yes, it's so cold, you are doing this on purpose, waiting for me to warm your hands, right?"

"My woman is smart."

“…”

Manager Li watched the two of them talking and laughing as they entered the room. She was very tactful and went to the kitchen, waiting for the pregnancy medicine and watching Chang'an drink it. This was her task.

In the room.

Bei Mingxuan said seriously, "I told the ghost doctor about the pregnancy pills in advance and asked him to change it to contraceptive pills."

"Okay!" Chang'an thought of what Bei Mingxuan had said before. He didn't want his children to suffer from the cold poison like he did in the future.

But Chang'an believed the ghost doctor's words and believed in his medical skills even more, so she wanted this child and had already told the ghost doctor that the pregnancy medicine was the pregnancy medicine, but Bei Mingxuan didn't know it.

Moreover, considering that Chang'an was invaded by a cold poison, the ghost doctor specially added a medicine to the pregnancy medicine.

In this way, Chang'an will not get pregnant immediately, but will get pregnant after her body is well. At that time, not only will she be pregnant, but it will definitely be a boy.

Chang'an slept well all night. Bei Mingxuan woke up and looked at Chang'an beside him, feeling satisfied.

The more than ten days passed quickly without any interruptions or anything happening, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

The red lanterns hung in the yard added a lot of festive atmosphere.

"Today we are going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings." Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an, who was lying lazily on the couch and didn't want to move, with a smile on his face.
