Xu moved.

It had only been half a year since she got married! But Mrs. Fan had already urged her many times, secretly and openly.

She also drank tonic every day, hoping to have a son and secure her position as young lady.

Even though she didn't say anything, she was more anxious than anyone else.

But this kind of thing is done to everyone's delight. If it goes away without any movement, wouldn't it make people laugh?

She always has a good face.

At that moment, he put on a look of disdain: "If I beg the Bodhisattva, I might as well be begging my husband to love me more."

"It's not like you can't give birth, so why bother with this? I think Ruan Zhen is right, you are indeed old and confused."

Mother Wang's expression changed and she knelt down directly.

"It's the old slave who overstepped his bounds."

As he said this, he remembered the news he had received not long ago: "Madam, the prince of Duke Dingguo and the one from the Sheng family are also in Fanshan Temple."

The crown prince of Dingguo?

Mrs. Xu frowned immediately.

"That's someone not easy to mess with. Ask your servants to be careful and don't bump into him. If you offend someone, the Marquis Mansion can't protect them."

"yes."

Ruan Zhen returned to the dormitory, and she could still feel the eyes on her all the time.

She sat on a stool and drank a cup of hot tea.

Originally, she planned to take advantage of the rush of pilgrims at Fanshan Temple to find an opportunity to leave, but today her entourage followed her closely and refused to leave.

Thinking about Mrs. Xu's action of touching her lower abdomen, and Mrs. Fan's mention of cutting branches and leaves in public many times, she asked the kitchen to send supplements every day to take care of her body. Mrs. Xu felt resentful, but she didn't drink a drop every time.

Remaining.

Ruan Zhen concluded that the child was a thorn in Xu's heart. She wanted to get pregnant more than anyone else.

With her impatience, she definitely couldn't wait any longer.

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes, hoping that Mrs. Xu would not disappoint her.

She felt restless and subconsciously picked at the texture on the cup with her fingertips.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ruan Zhen's heartbeat was beating faster and faster. She was looking forward to nightfall but was afraid at the same time.

Ruan Zhen closed her eyes. Her hands were sweating.

Thinking of Ruan Xi holding her half in his arms.

"We Zhenzhen are soft-tempered, don't cause trouble, are well-behaved and sensible, but we have our own concerns and are too stubborn. We believe in death when things happen, and we don't know whether it is good or bad."

Over the years, she followed her aunt's advice and stayed in the Marquis Mansion, which made her breathless. She was careful about everything and rarely left the courtyard to avoid trouble.

But like this, what should be hidden cannot be avoided.

Ruan Zhen sighed, and then looked at the sky.

Mother Ge and the others should have arrived in Hui'an County early.

————

The last ray of glow hangs in the sky, and as time passes, it is sucked away by the horizon little by little. There are a few faint insects chirping in the corner.

"Sheng Qinan."

Candles were lit in the room, and Gu Huaizhi was half-leaning on the bed. Perhaps he had left the house, and his features were much brighter.

"exist."

"Sing me a little song."

Sheng Qinan was in a dilemma: "I can't, cousin, can I recite the Diamond Sutra to you?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids, and before he could say anything, he saw a black shadow rushing in.

The other party salutes.

"Master, news came from the palace. After the prince brought back the singer, the sound of music in the east palace was endless every night. He was obsessed with women and missed the morning court. The emperor was furious and vomited blood on the spot."

When Gu Huaizhi heard the news, his eyes showed neither surprise nor any emotion.

Emperor Hui, in order to seek immortality, believed in those crooked ways, ignored thousands of people, and took those unpopular pills, not just a day or two, but his body was already in trouble.

The last time he entered the palace, Emperor Hui looked haggard and looked more like he was ten years older. He was so ugly that he didn't even want to look at it.

The prince was devoid of virtue, incompetence, and had no achievements. He was greedy for women and even dared to covet the female relatives of the courtiers.

His dark eyes were heavy with pity: "Is this going to make you vomit blood?"

Can’t stand the trouble? What should I do in the future?

Useless old stuff.

The black shadow knelt on the ground, respectfully motionless.

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him.

"How are things arranged?"

"Don't worry, sir, we are ready."

"Okay, let's go back."

"yes."

The black shadow flashed and the figure disappeared instantly.

Sheng Qinan seemed to have heard something incredible. He opened and closed his mouth. It took him a long time to find his own voice.

"Cousin, can you avoid talking to me about this next time?"

He just wants to be a monk honestly and doesn't want to hear this!!!

Gu Huaizhi didn't even bother to look at him. He glanced at the word 'kind' written in big letters on the wall. The temperature in his eyes dropped a bit, and his tone did not fluctuate.

"I arranged the singer next to the prince."

Sheng Qinan was horrified: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen."

Gu Huaizhi seemed to have never heard of it.

The bloody storm after Emperor Hui ascended the throne is still a thorn in his heart.

Emperor Hui's qualifications were mediocre, but he had the status of an eldest son. And with the late emperor's edict, he could sit on the throne safely.

That year, the floods in Suzhou coincided with a severe drought in Zhongzhou, and the victims suffered terribly.

However, the first thing the new emperor did when he came to the throne was not to order officials from all over the country to open warehouses to provide food and appease the people. Instead, he issued an order to frame Zhongliang, ransack the home of Prince Jing, the brother of a compatriot, and ordered the whole family to be exiled.

Thousands of miles.

Just because Prince Jing holds great power and possesses both talents and virtues, and the support of all his ministers, this is his hidden danger. If it is not eliminated in one day, it will be difficult to sleep peacefully every night.

However, Prince Jing never had the slightest intention of treason.

Gu Huaizhi still remembers the word "loyalty" on the calligraphy and painting in the study of Prince Jing's Mansion.

How sad.

He moved his lips.

"That year, my father came before the Holy Spirit to plead for mercy, but he endured thirty strokes and suffered from leg problems."

"While in exile, Princess Jing fell seriously ill and did not survive."

The atmosphere in the room was slightly solemn, and Sheng Qinan also became quiet.

The Duke of Dingguo came quickly to make friends with Prince Jing's Mansion. When he was young, Sheng Qinan often went to Prince Jing's Mansion.

His expression turned lonely.
