In response to the princess' question, the servants all looked at each other in bewilderment, obviously not knowing where she was.
The butler was smart and said quickly, "Don't worry, Princess. I will send someone to look for him right away. It's so cold and damp outside. You should go back to your room and rest. I will send someone to find a doctor later."
Xia Tong discovered that Gu Qin's illness could be transmitted to other people. She was just pregnant, not seriously ill, but she felt that every step she took now would be a big deal in their eyes.
Without saying anything else, she could only be supported by Fang Yu and go back to her room. There was nothing wrong with her foot, but she always felt that her leg was hit by something and it was numb. However, the maid did look familiar, and her figure was a bit like Princess Changyang. But Princess Changyang didn't know martial arts, so maybe she was mistaken.
Soon the housekeeper brought the maid over, but this time Xia Tong felt that her figure was not that similar. Maybe she was too sensitive. After all, it was not pleasant to have a love rival secretly watching you all day long.
I don't know what time Gu Qin left in the afternoon, but she left Xifeng here to watch over her. Xia Tong had nothing to do, so she asked Fangyu and the others to clean up the house and make some space outside the yard. Spring was just the right time to plant some flowers and plants.
It was drizzling outside. She leaned on the couch and watched the maids outside whispering and laughing as they moved some flowers and plants. For a moment, she wanted to take a walk in the yard, but when she saw the motionless figure outside, she instantly gave up the idea. She would definitely say that the ground was slippery and not suitable for the princess to walk on.
"West Wind."
She suddenly called out to the straight figure in the corridor. The latter turned around and saw the princess in the room looking at him with ill intentions.
Waving her hand, Xia Tong said with a smile: "Come in, I have something to ask you."
After a pause, Xifeng had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, but he still had no choice but to go inside. For so long, he had always believed in one thing: no matter who he offended, he must not offend the princess.
"master……"
Fangyu, who was tidying up her closet, suddenly came over with a red face and a book in her hand, seeming to be embarrassed to speak.
Xia Tong's face changed and she immediately took the book. Noticed someone coming in from outside, she quickly stuffed the book under the couch.
I didn't expect that the master actually had this kind of books. The more Fang Yu thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She had to go out with some clothes that Xia Tong rarely wore. When she saw Xifeng coming in, her face turned even redder.
The latter paused, curious about what was going on with the other party, but when he thought that the princess still had something to ask him, he had to walk over immediately. The next moment, Xia Tong asked casually: "Tell me the truth, does your prince have a lot of income behind the scenes that he can't show to others?"
Xifeng: “…”
Xia Tong just wanted to know how rich Gu Qin was. Even his father was not clean these days. She didn't believe that Gu Qin would really be that honest.
"I don't know where to start with this. The matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words." Xifeng said with his head down and without changing his expression.
Xia Tong leaned on the couch, biting a piece of cake while glancing at him lazily, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I can ask the prince myself tonight."
Xifeng's expression changed, and he felt miserable, but he finally succumbed to the princess's tyranny and said in a compromising manner: "The prince should have a specific account book in his hand. If the princess wants to know the specific matters, she can ask the prince for it."
After saying that, Xia Tong's eyebrows moved slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Xifeng steadily. It seemed that Gu Qin really trusted Xifeng. He even knew such secrets. However, Xia Tong was just asking casually. She didn't want to see that kind of thing, lest that person call her a spy all day long.
It was only the hour of Xu when Gu Qin came back. The palace banquet usually started not long ago, but he came back so soon. Xia Tong was playing chess with Fang Yu, who was suppressed by her and had no chance of turning around. In front of others, Xia Tong was still very confident in her chess skills.
As the door was pushed open, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the person coming in, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Those generals were all big and strong men who loved drinking. The palace banquet would usually end very late. Moreover, these people had a very good relationship with Gu Qin, so how could they let him get away so easily?
Brushing off the raindrops on his body, the man frowned and glanced at her, "Why didn't you tell me that you almost fell today?"
Xia Tong: “…”
Fang Yu bowed and followed him back. Xia Tong pouted, still holding a chess piece in her hand, "It's nothing, what's there to say."
"I'm afraid I can't take you to Jiangnan at the end of the month."
As he spoke, he went to the inner room to change his clothes. He slept here every day, and his things had already been moved in. Upon hearing this, Xia Tong immediately shouted at the people inside in dissatisfaction: "How can you go back on your word like this?"
When Xia Tong thought about having to stay in the mansion for ten months, she felt that she would definitely go crazy. Not only did she not give birth to the child, but she also suffered from depression.
Gu Qin changed into a white brocade robe and came out, saying calmly, "Something unexpected happened."
Xia Tong choked and stared at the man opposite. He usually wore dark clothes and Xia Tong was a little uncomfortable with it. However, this was indeed much gentler than before. This man must be trying to seduce her with his beauty. It was really too much.
"Accidents always happen. I don't want to stay in the house all the time." Xia Tong became more and more unhappy as she spoke. She got off the couch and walked into the house.
Even though she knew that Gu Qin had something important to do, she was still very unhappy. When she took off her coat and snuggled into the bed, she was waiting for the man to come and coax her, but there was no sound outside. She was a little unwilling and immediately got off the bed again. However, when she lifted the curtain to look into the outer room, she saw the man standing in front of the couch with a small book in his hand.
Xia Tong's face turned pale instantly and she ran over immediately, "Don't look!"
The man raised his hand to prevent her from snatching it, but when he looked at the red face, he couldn't help but glanced at her meaningfully, "You actually look at such filthy things."
Xia Tong tried her best to grab the book but failed. She felt embarrassed and annoyed for a moment. She had hidden it in the couch today and forgot to take it out. This was not an ordinary pornographic book. It was a small book that her mother had given her when she got married. It was full of pictures!
"Don't get me wrong, this is not mine, I have never seen it!"
While she was explaining anxiously, she blinked innocently and begged the other party to return the things to her. Even the back of her ears turned red.
The woman was only wearing a thin white undergarment, and her figure was slender. Gu Qin glanced at her, then suddenly put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and looked at her with burning eyes, saying, "It's my fault. I didn't pay attention to your feelings on weekdays."
"Don't say anything more!" Xia Tong quickly raised her hand to cover the other person's mouth, her face flushed red, "I said I didn't see it, and I don't need you to care about my feelings. I don't have any feelings!"
She had never been so embarrassed before. Xia Tong wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but the next moment someone grabbed her by the waist and hugged her. She was forced to hug the other person's neck, looking panicked, "What...what are you going to do?"
He gently placed her on the bed, then he leaned forward and looked into her eyes, "Didn't you ask me to come back earlier to sleep with you?"
In order to get back earlier, he even pretended to be drunk and left.
Their eyes met, and Xia Tong felt the dishonest hand on her waist, and she was completely confused. "I... I asked you to sleep not like this."
"Then how do you want to sleep?" His eyes were deep, his big hands lingering on the long-lost smooth skin, he lowered his head and covered her red earlobe and whispered: "I calculated that you have been here for three months, don't worry, I will be very careful."
In an instant, the candlelight in the room went out. Xia Tong blushed and seemed unwilling. She kept saying it was very light, but the facts proved that nothing the man said could be trusted.
"Then...then can you return the book to me?"
In the darkness, she bit her lower lip and said pitifully, "As long as... you return the book to me, I will do anything for you."
A faint fragrance surrounded her nose. The man untied the thin string of the bellyband with one hand and bit her soft neck. He said in a hoarse voice, "No."
The author has something to say: I originally planned to write a plot, but I suddenly wanted to write about the prince doing bad things ≥﹏≤
