A few days later, the imperial court finalized the policy of lifting the sea ban. However, the matter was serious and officials were sent to inspect the area near the sea.

Only then can you take the next step.

Zhou Xu never acted sloppily, and soon summoned several important ministers into the palace for discussion.

After Ruan Zhen learned about this from Chang Feng, she suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her fingertips stung. When she looked at her, blood spilled from her white fingertips. She was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a while.

Tan Yun took the anti-fetal medicine from the kitchen. When he came back, he met Chang Feng who had just left Moyuan.

She entered the house wearing embroidered shoes.

"On my way back, I happened to hear Lady Yuan, who was waiting in the lady's courtyard, saying that the hibiscus in Fanshan Temple was in bloom, and the sky was covered with flowers, which were extremely beautiful."

Ruan Zhen would always mention it in front of her and Mama Ge every year when it bloomed. However, since Ruan Xi took her there once, she had never been able to see that grand scene again.

But just like this, it seems to be the deepest imprint on my heart.

"I'll take a bath later..." Before she could finish her sentence, she caught a glimpse of blood beads on Ruan Zhen's fingertips.

Not caring about anything else, Tan Yun rushed forward and held Ruan Zhen's hand, took the handkerchief and wiped it off carefully. As soon as the complaining concern got stuck in his throat, he heard Ruan Zhen whisper softly.

"Bring the medicine."

Ruan Zhen's uneasiness was soon confirmed.

A quarter of an hour later, Sheng Wan came over and sat down. Seeing Ruan Zhen's sharp chin, she frowned.

She yelled: "This kid is a troublemaker."

These days, the kitchen is trying its best to prepare food for Ruan Zhen, but she is suffering from severe morning sickness.

Hearing this, Ruan Zhen had a gentle face and a smile on her lips: "The imperial doctor said that once you get through this period, you will be fine."

Sheng Wan pulled her to sit down.

"Jiang Yi didn't know where she got the news that you were pregnant. She personally delivered this thing to you early this morning, put it down and left. She didn't even drink a cup of tea."

Aunt Kong who was waiting next to her brought a glass box with exquisite patterns engraved on it. Under Ruan Zhen's gaze, she opened it.

There are light pink meatballs the size of beads inside.

As soon as she opened the lid, Ruan Zhen smelled a faint fragrance.

"The old slave looked at the quality and saw that it was probably a snack made from dozens of ingredients such as ginger, orange peel, plums, and sour plums, dried in the sun, ground into powder, and made into snacks."

Mrs. Kong smiled, and the wrinkles in her eyes looked extremely friendly: "Young madam, you may not know that when the general's wife was pregnant with her second child, she vomited more violently than you for a period of time. This is a recipe and ingredients that the general begged from the frontier fortress.

Although it is simple, the general’s wife has significant effects after eating it.”

Sheng Wan nodded: "I thought that since she took it, I might as well let you try it, so I didn't chase after her to return it."

However, she couldn't help but mutter: "She, Jiang Yi, is really serious."

She has lost her daughter, but she still misses her Zhenzhen.

Princess Jing was unlucky and had died a long time ago. Jiang Yi was like this now. Among the three of them, she was the only one who lived the best.

While the few people were talking, they didn't see Ruan Zhen's eyelashes trembling slightly.

Ruan Zhen was never a hypocritical person. She stretched out her hand to touch her lower abdomen, which was not yet pregnant. Every time the imperial doctor came to check her pulse, she told her to eat as much as possible, but Ruan Zhen always vomited when she failed to live up to her expectations.

Under Sheng Wan's urging and expectation, Ruan Zhen finally took the glass box, took one and put it into the sandalwood mouth.

The meatballs are not big, just enough for Ruan Zhen to take one in his mouth.

It was a taste she had never tasted before. It could not be said to be unpleasant, but it could also be said to be delicious.

"If it's useful, I'll go to Jiang Mansion and ask for more questions."

As soon as Sheng Wan finished speaking, Ruan Zhen took the second one, her eyes fell on the bottom of the box, pressed by the ball, and only at this moment did a corner of the note appear.

Ruan Zhen hesitated, took it out, folded it open, and there was indeed writing inside.

The person who wrote the pen may have had severe mood swings when writing, so the handwriting was light and heavy, and not smooth.

There are no unnecessary words above, just a simple recipe for making meatballs.

It was as if the other party was sure that if Ruan Zhen took it, it would be effective.

It also seems that he is unwilling to use a recipe, but deliberately wants to ease the feelings.

She has been standing in the dark, avoiding, and caring in her own way at a distance that Ruan Zhen can accept.

Ruan Zhen's grip on the glass box increased unintentionally, but at this moment, she heard Sheng Wan hesitate and say: "Your father-in-law guessed that Brother Huai might go to the Linhai border."

All Ruan Zhen's thoughts disappeared with these words.

Her lips moved, and she heard herself speak in a warm voice: "My husband is a supreme minister and has the power to rule the world. It was he who proposed the abolition, and it is most appropriate that he should go."

He will only be the best candidate after weighing the pros and cons.

Ruan Zhen was the most calm when she spoke. But only she knew the panic inside her at this time.

Gu Huaizhi's trip was a long one, and it would take him several months to get back.

What will happen to you when he comes back?

After sending Sheng Wan away, Ruan Zhen was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and ate a few more meatballs.

Here, the list of departures from the palace has been initially drawn up. They are just waiting for Zhou Xu to give the order.

Gu Huaizhi walked on the official road, turning the jade finger in his hand, walking slowly and with an indistinguishable expression.

At this moment, someone caught up with him.

It was Wu Xuchen, walking beside Gu Huaizhi.

"The date of your return is uncertain now that you are gone. Fortunately, the Duke is at home. Otherwise, if something happens to the Duke and his wife again, it will not end well."

Gu Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even bother to look at the other person.

"Hmm." He responded with a faint nasal voice.

Even if Gu He is not here and Sheng Wan has offended everyone in Lin'an City, Gu Huaizhi is not worried. He is doing things for Zhou Xu, so Zhou Xu has to take care of him.

Because of this, Wu Xuchen noticed that Gu Huaizhi was not in high spirits.

He thought deeply for a moment, and a sudden flash of inspiration seemed unbelievable.

"Our Lord Chief Assistant, are you reluctant to leave your beloved wife at home?"

Gu Huaizhi thought that Wu Xuchen had been so embarrassed these days that he dared to make fun of him.

laugh.

He paused in his steps and gave the other party a look of mercy.

"I heard that you are discussing marriage these days?"

Hearing Gu Huaizhi's extremely calm tone, Wu Xuchen secretly screamed. At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked by not far away. Then he heard the man ask.

"What do you think of him?"

Wu Xuchen:???horrified!

Gu Huaizhi sneered and walked away. He looked impatient, as if there were thorns all over his body, and no one dared to come near him.

Can't bear to leave your beloved wife at home?

indeed.

Reluctant to part with it.

He even didn't know how to mention it to Ruan Zhen, but he had to do this, and he didn't feel at ease if it was left in the hands of others.

"Master Xi, where are you going in such a hurry?" A voice came from not far away.

"I have to go to Fanshan Temple. My wife has been clamoring to see the hibiscus flowers these days."
