It's November and the weather is already cold.
Qing Ziyuan went to the palace to report, but he did not return for a long time.
In the afternoon, it was Qingyue's time for a nap. Since she became pregnant, she had to take a nap every afternoon. Although she could not feel any affection for the child, she could not control her body's reaction.
My eldest brother has been staying with her in this Nanjiao Temple villa for several months. The palace has issued orders urging him to come back again and again, but the family is always worried about her and afraid that something might happen to her, so they all stay here.
The King of Chu probably became suspicious and issued an ultimatum.
My eldest brother went to the palace early in the morning, but it was already past noon and he still hadn't returned.
Qing Yue stood up, opened the door and walked into the yard, thinking of going to see her mother. Immediately, a maid came forward and said, "Princess, do you have any instructions?"
The maid was a stranger, someone Chu Yan had hired from outside to take care of her daily life. She had originally wanted to leave here and return to the general's mansion, but was delayed for various reasons. First, her mother was old and needed to rest well after being injured. Second, the whereabouts of the foreigner were unknown. She was infected with the life and death Gu and was pregnant. From Chu Yan to her parents, no one would allow her to leave. They all agreed that it was safest for her to stay here.
Qing Yue pursed her lips, her face was slightly cold, and her brows were tightly furrowed. Ever since her elder brother entered the palace today, her stomach has been aching. She was not looking forward to the child in her belly. She tried her best to appear a little heartless and kept brainwashing herself that this was an unwanted child, but he was responsible for saving her life.
"It's nothing, you can go down."
Qingyue said.
She raised her foot and walked towards another yard, and happened to meet her mother walking towards this side.
"mother."
Qingyue shouted.
Rong Wan quickly stepped forward to support Qing Yue, "Yue'er, what happened? Mother sees that you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
Qing Yue's face was pale, and there were some dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well. In addition, she was worried and her body had lost a lot of weight. In everyone's eyes, Qing Yue was now a fragile doll who needed to be carefully cared for.
"I'm fine, Mom. Hasn't my eldest brother come back yet? And my dad and the others?"
Qing Yue spoke out.
Rong Wan shook her head. "Your eldest brother went to the palace to report and hasn't returned yet. Your father is a little worried, so Prince You took your father to the palace to investigate. I believe he will be back soon. The emperor probably left your eldest brother there for questioning. After all, he stayed in the capital for such a long time and hasn't appeared in public. The emperor must be suspicious. Don't worry, Yue'er, he will be fine."
Although she knew that her mother's words made some sense, Qingyue still felt uneasy.
But he didn't want his mother to worry, so he just nodded.
At this moment, footsteps were heard. Chu Yan and Qing Yuntian came hurriedly from outside, their faces tense and anxious. "Wan'er, is Ziyuan back?"
As soon as this voice fell, Qing Yue felt her heart skip a beat.
"Dad, didn't my eldest brother go to the palace?"
Qingyue asked anxiously.
At this time, the two men had already walked up to Qing Yue. Qing Yuntian frowned and said in a deep voice, "The emperor said that he had asked your elder brother to leave the palace as early as noon."
"Leaving the palace at noon? But Ziyuan hasn't come back yet."
Rong Wan's face turned pale with anxiety. Chu Yan's worried eyes swept across Qing Yue's face and asked, "Could it be that Ziyuan was delayed by something?"
"No, my eldest brother is the most calm person. He knows we are all waiting here, so he will never do anything else. Even if he is busy, he will definitely inform us. Something must have happened to him..."
