"Let him prepare. I will talk to the emperor about it in a few days, and he will be able to set off." The Queen Mother said slowly, her withered hands grasping the scissors and "snapping" to cut off a thick branch. "I have been a coward for nearly a year. If he continues to be a coward, it will arouse suspicion."
"Yes. That's the best." Bi Qiao's face suddenly showed joy, but after a pause, a little sadness appeared in her eyes. "Although the eldest prince is disabled, we can't let him suffer in Ningguta, right?"
The Queen Mother did not speak, but just looked at the neatly trimmed five-needle pine. After a while, she put down the scissors in her hand. While holding up the teacup, she said to Bi Qiao, "Send it to Xu's house."
"Yes, I obey your command." Bi Qiao bowed and agreed. Then she walked away holding the five-needle pine.

Ningguta.
Ah Chou has been feeling uncomfortable these days. She always feels that Zhong Mingwei has been secretly observing her. But she can't ask him about it, because he didn't do anything wrong. And if you can be caught peeping, it's not called peeping. So Ah Chou has nothing to say. Although she feels uncomfortable, she has never questioned Zhong Mingwei.
Today, Ah Chou had no mood to question Zhong Mingwei. Because Ah Chou's stomach hurt again, and with the experience of last month, this time Ah Chou did not rush down the mountain to see a doctor, but gritted his teeth and endured it.
Grandma Chen told her that this would happen every month from now on, but she didn't know if it was because she was weak or because she was young and had just started, but this kind of thing was obviously irregular for Ah Chou, and it took nearly two months for her to have her period again this time.
Achou woke up in pain in the middle of the night. This strange yet familiar pain made her break out in a cold sweat. She thought of making a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, but was afraid of waking up Zhong Mingwei, so she held her stomach and endured it. But she couldn't bear it anymore, so she began to turn over gently on the kang. In fact, it didn't relieve the pain, but it was better than lying straight and enduring it.
When will it be dawn?
In the thick darkness, Ah Chou gritted his teeth tightly.
"Girl, what's wrong?" When Ah Chou was enduring the pain, he heard Zhong Mingwei's voice coming from the other side of the house.
"No, nothing," Ah Chou said hurriedly, afraid that Zhong Mingwei would hear something wrong, so she forced a smile and said, "You woke me up instead of sleeping."
Zhong Mingwei listened to her voice without a trace of confusion from being woken up, and his heart suddenly "clicked", then he held the edge of the bed and sat up: "Girl, come here."
"Okay." As soon as Ah Chou heard the rustling sounds from Zhong Mingwei's side, she got up. She thought Zhong Mingwei wanted to get up to go to the bathroom, so she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the bed. However, her stomachache was so severe that it was better when she was lying down just now, but when she got up and walked, the dull pain suddenly became amplified. Ah Chou's lips trembled even more violently, and her legs were shaking. She finally moved to Zhong Mingwei's bed with great difficulty.
"I...I'll support you..." Ah Chou said with a smile. It was so painful that she couldn't even speak clearly.
"Go light a candle first." Zhong Mingwei became extremely anxious when he heard her voice, but he couldn't see or do anything in the dark.
"Oh, right, we have to...light the candle. How could I...how could I forget?" said Ah Chou, while turning back to get the flint and steel from the table to light the fire and light the candle on the bedside.
"What's wrong with you?" Under the dim yellow candlelight, Ah Chou's face was covered with sweat and the corners of her mouth were blue-gray. Zhong Mingwei was really shocked. In fact, he guessed that Ah Chou was not feeling well just from hearing her voice, but when he suddenly saw it, Zhong Mingwei was still frightened. Ah Chou was obviously more seriously ill than he had imagined.
