Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 395 I want to protect you

Virtuous Concubine Lu Shuyi and a group of people stood not far away, her eyes falling on Shen Ruoxi with a hint of concern.

"What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"

"It's okay. I caught a cold last night and feel a little uncomfortable."

Shen Ruoxi stood up straight and looked at Lu Shuyi.

"Concubine De is also here to see your mother?"

"Well, the Queen likes to drink ginseng soup, so I made some for her."

Shen Ruoxi nodded, then looked at Lu Shuyi's side.

Murong Mingyue was standing next to her in light blue brocade, looking at her with bright eyes.

Compared to before, Murong Mingyue was a little thinner, and her originally round face had some contours and had grown a little.

But it seems less lively.

Shen Ruoxi withdrew her gaze.

"Then Concubine De, please go in, I'll go back first."

The two said goodbye, and Shen Ruoxi led the people away.

After walking far away, Hongxiu couldn't help but whisper.

"Princess, you suddenly retched. Could it be that... you are pregnant?"

"You girl, what are you talking about?"

Shen Ruoxi laughed: "I am a doctor myself. If it really happens, I know better than anyone else that I have some gastrointestinal discomfort. Go back and make me some tea."

After saying that, Shen Ruoxi felt a little emotional.

It would be great if he could really have a child with Murong Heng.

But this matter...

let it go.

Lu Shuyi stood behind her, looking at Shen Ruoxi's back, with a hint of contemplation in her eyes.

"Why is the Crown Princess retching so well?"

Ran'er beside him also showed doubts.

"Is it possible that the Crown Princess is happy? But I haven't heard of such a big thing."

Lu Shuyi said nothing.

She turned to look at Murong Mingyue beside her.

"Mingyue, you don't like the Crown Princess very much. Why didn't you say a few more words to her just now?"

Murong Mingyue lowered her head.

"The mother-in-law wants to see the mother-in-law, and the bright moon cannot delay the mother-in-law's time."

"What's the delay? If you want to see the Crown Princess, then go ahead."

Lu Shuyi reached out and touched Murong Mingyue's head.

"Go and see if the Crown Princess has a baby. If she does, the mother-in-law will prepare some gifts for the Crown Princess to replenish her health."

Murong Mingyue raised her head and showed an innocent smile.

"I understand, concubine."

Shortly after Shen Ruoxi returned to the East Palace, she heard the news.

It was said that something happened early this morning at Feiyanxuan where Yinggui was staying.

Yinggui was executed by the emperor.

When Shen Ruoxi heard this, her hand holding the tea paused.

"Executed?"

"Yes, I heard that the emperor went to Yinggui's place in the middle of the night yesterday. I don't know what happened. Yinggui was dragged down early in the morning and was made into a human pig by the emperor's order..."

"Yinggui's body was fragile. After cutting off his hands and feet, he died of pain soon."

"Now the people in Feiyanxuan are so scared that they don't dare to speak. It's only now that a few words have been spread."

Shen Ruoxi frowned and couldn't drink the tea in her hand.

"With such a cruel criminal law, do you know what crime Yinggui has committed?"

Wei Tingshan whispered.

"It is said that Yinggui had an affair with someone else."

"Is there still this?"

Shen Ruoxi was very surprised, and then felt a little awkward in her heart.

If Mr. Yinggui really had an affair with someone, it would indeed be a serious crime, but according to Emperor Renjing's temperament, such a cruel punishment should not be used.

After Concubine Shu died this time, Emperor Renjing's temperament seemed to have changed somewhat.

……

In the afternoon, Shen Ruoxi took a short rest.

When she woke up, Murong Mingyue came over.

"Mingyue, why are you here?"

Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised and quickly waved her over.

Murong Mingyue showed a soft smile, walked up to Shen Ruoxi, and bowed politely.

"Princess."

"Why are you giving so many false gifts?"

"The Crown Princess is the Crown Princess, Mingyue should be bowing."

Murong Mingyue lowered her head with a well-behaved look on her face.

Behind her, Ran'er bowed.

"Crown Princess, Princess Mingyue said she wanted to come and see you, so Empress Dowager De asked her servant to bring her here."

As she spoke, she reached out and handed over a food box.

"The empress asked her slave to give this to the Crown Princess. The tea inside is the finest Mingqian Longjing tea. The Crown Princess must taste it."

Murong Mingyue brought the food box over and stared at Shen Ruoxi with bright eyes.

Shen Ruoxi said.

"Ran'er, please step aside first. I will take Mingyue for a walk in the East Palace."

"Yes."

Shen Ruoxi led Murong Mingyue to the backyard.

She took the food box and opened it.

Inside were some sugar cakes, some Longjing tea and a fine tea set.

"Mingyue, did you make these sugar cookies?"

Murong Mingyue nodded.

"I made the sugar cakes, and the tea leaves and tea sets were given by my mother-in-law."

She turned her head and looked around, then whispered.

"Princess, do you know what I came here to do today?"

"What to do?"

Murong Mingyue looked down at her belly.

"My mother-in-law wants to know if you are pregnant."

Shen Ruoxi narrowed her eyes.

Why is Concubine De so concerned about whether she is pregnant or not?

Murong Mingyue picked up a piece of sugar cake and put it into her mouth: "If you are really pregnant, I think she wants to harm you."

"Mingyue, don't say this nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I think my mother-in-law is hiding some big secret. I want to know what this secret is."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi's eyes paused.

Looking at Murong Mingyue with bright eyes in front of her, she said seriously.

"Mingyue, you are still young. Don't be too curious about some things. You just need to ensure your own safety and grow up well. Do you understand?"

"Well, I see."

Murong Mingyue showed her a big smile, and then held her chin: "But I think the Crown Princess is not pregnant."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"My guess."

Murong Mingyue shook her little feet: "If the Crown Princess is really pregnant, you must remember to tell Mingyue."

"why?"

"Because I want to protect you."

"it is good."

Shen Ruoxi was amused by her.

After playing in the East Palace for a long time, Murong Mingyue reluctantly said goodbye to Shen Ruoxi.

When she saw Ran'er, she looked obedient again.

Back at Jiao Shu Palace, Ran Er took her to meet Lu Shu Yi.

"Have you met the Crown Princess?"

"Go back to my concubine, I saw you."

"What did she say?"

"The princess said she just had some stomach discomfort."

Hearing this, Lu Shuyi's eyes narrowed and a trace of thought flashed through her eyes.

"The tea given to the Crown Princess, does she think it tastes good?"

"The princess hasn't started drinking yet."

Murong Mingyue stood there, and when Lu Shuyi asked a question, she would answer honestly.

Nothing wrong could be seen from start to finish.

Lu Shuyi nodded: "If you want to go to the Crown Princess's place in the future, you can go there often."

"Really? Thank you, concubine!"

Murong Mingyue's eyes finally lit up.

Lu Shuyi nodded and then let her leave.

Ran'er asked.

"My Lady, do you think Princess Mingyue is telling the truth?"

"It's not like lying."

There was a trace of consideration in Lu Shuyi's eyes: "But it would be better if Shen Ruoxi is not pregnant, and it would save me a lot of effort."

"Your Majesty... I am puzzled. The Crown Princess has an heir, and it has no interest in your interests. Why do you want to wade into this muddy water?"

"Since you don't know, then keep your mouth shut!"

Lu Shuyi didn't answer, she just scolded him sternly.

-

Concubine Xian's daughter's name is Murong Mingshan... I remembered it wrong myself. I thought of two names before, Mingshan and Mingyan, but yesterday I suddenly thought of Mingyan. I have changed them.
