"Sister Cai, you've arrived."
"Yes, Your Highness. Would you like to rise now?"
"Okay." Mu Run got off the bed.
Cai approached her and helped her tidy her smooth, black hair. Suddenly, she noticed a rosy mark on the back of Mu Run's neck.
"Is the princess wearing a turtleneck?"
"It's a bit hot today, so I'll stick to a low-cut top."
"Your Highness, if I may be so bold as to ask, did His Majesty and Your Highness do anything last night...?"
"What?"
"That... thing."
"What is it?" Mu Run had just woken up and her mind was still a bit foggy. She didn't immediately understand what Cai was talking about.
Seeing that she hadn't understood, Madam Cai continued, "It means... sexual intercourse! The princess's belly is still small, so it's best to be careful."
So that's what happened! Mu Run's face immediately flushed slightly. "Sister Cai, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be so inconsiderate?"
Lady Cai smiled knowingly, “It’s inevitable when feelings run deep, but let’s wait a little longer, five or six months, that would be fine. After all, His Majesty is young and vigorous, and being careful will help strengthen the bond between husband and wife.”
Mu Run's face turned even redder. "No, no, absolutely not. Sister Cai, please don't say that."
She was filled with worry about this child, so much so that she feared something might happen to him, let alone anything else. No matter what, she would not do anything risky.
Huanhuan and Tuantuan, the two little ones, listened to the conversation between Murun and Cai Shi. Although they didn't understand, judging from their mother's reaction, it seemed to be no small matter.
Huanhuan winked at Tuantuan, got off the bed, and said to Madam Cai, "Granny Cai, my brother and I miss Daddy. Where is he now?"
Without much thought, Lady Cai replied, "His Majesty is handling official business in the side hall, along with some other officials."
"Oh, then let's eat before we go find Daddy." Huanhuan was also clever and quick-witted, knowing what was important and what was urgent, when it was okay to bother him and when it was best not to cause trouble.
Mu Run sensed that the two of them wanted to talk to Fu Yunchen about something. But it was probably just some trivial matter between children, so she didn't think much of it.
After learning that Huanhuan and Tuantuan were not asking him to take witchcraft classes, Ziwu also did not come to Murun's place for classes, but instead left the palace.
When Mu Run had some free time, she re-roasted the last bit of autumn tea from last year, making it even more mellow and fragrant. Just the aroma alone was enough to make one's mouth water.
Upon learning that Fu Yunchen had finished his meeting, she personally brewed tea and had it delivered to the side hall.
Everyone who tried the tea praised it highly.
In particular, Bai Shalu even requested tea as a gift.
Fu Yunchen ignored him and told him to hurry up and get things done.
Qiao Dongzi wasn't particularly interested in tea, but he thought it was quite good.
Bai Shalu and Qiao Dongzi came out of the side hall. Bai Shalu said to Qiao Dongzi, "Let Sister Qiao go to the palace to ask the Princess for some good tea. I don't need much, two ounces will be enough."
Qiao Dongzi looked at him and said, "I can't say for sure. What if my sister-in-law doesn't give me any? But if she does, I'll definitely share some with you."
"That's quite a righteous person!" Bai Shalu laughed.
Qiao Dongzi waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.
Bai Shalu changed the subject, his brows furrowing. "Your Majesty means that the butterfly girl is very likely the deceased Princess Xiao'an."
“It’s not just very likely, it’s definitely true,” Qiao Dongzi said. “Originally, the boss thought it was Yu Shan, but it turned out to be this Poison Princess.”
"Then what should we do?"
"The boss means to let her die again, properly."
