He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

As for Xie Jingyan, after Eunuch Yuan entered the imperial study, he went straight out of the palace.

On the way back to Prince Ling's Mansion on horseback, when passing Changping Street, Xu Ji caught up with him on horseback.

Poor Xu Ji, he had just finished serving tea with his wife and wanted to go back to be affectionate with her for a while, but he was sent by his own father to find Prince Ling.

However, before Xu Ji opened his mouth, Xie Jingyan had already guessed his intention and said, "Go back and tell your father that the things are safer with me than in his hands."

"But……"

Xu Ji looked embarrassed.

Xie Jingyan said, "Just convey it truthfully, your father will understand what I mean."

Without even being given a chance to speak, it would be strange if we could get back the Empress Dowager's decree.

He said that Prince Ling was not taken away accidentally, but his father didn't believe him and insisted that he make this trip. He had just gotten married, and the people under his father's command got a few days off when they got married, but his father's own son didn't even get a single day off.

But the thing is in Prince Ling's hands, so Xu Ji is not worried.

If Young Master Yan's identity is accidentally exposed, Prince Ling will definitely protect him. As long as the Yan family is fine, the Minister of Justice's Mansion will be fine.

Xie Jingyan looked at Xu Ji and said, "You can drink quite well."

Xu Ji scratched his head.

Xie Jingyan said, "The acting is better."

Xu Ji, "..."

awkward.

I've never been so embarrassed since I was born.

Fortunately, it didn't get awkward for a moment before they were rescued, as someone was rushing towards them from a distance.

It's not a frightened horse, but an urgent journey of eight hundred miles.

Even on a busy street, it was moving very fast, raising a gust of wind as it passed by them.

Eight hundred taels of silver sent urgently is usually not good news.

I hope something unexpected happens somewhere again.

Xie Jingyan and Xu Ji didn't say a few words and went back to their respective homes.

Inside the house, Shen Wan was looking at the small clothes sent by the embroidery room for her unborn baby. They were all made of the best silk.

Are you kidding? She is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor. The emperor values ​​her very much and has sent her many rewards, including a lot of silk. If she doesn't give them to the young prince, who should she give them to?

The small dress is exquisitely made and Shen Wan can't put it down. This is only part of it, and the embroidery room is rushing to make it.

Shen Wan looked at them one by one, and Chun'er came in and said, "Princess, the concubine of King Cheng is pregnant."

Shen Wan was so focused on the child's clothes that she only heard who was pregnant. She asked, "Who's pregnant?"

Chun Er said, "Become the king's concubine."

Shen Wan frowned.

Is Prince Cheng's concubine pregnant?

This didn’t happen in my previous life.

After the death of Prince Cheng's son in the previous life, Prince Cheng had no descendants. The Queen Mother wanted to adopt a child from the royal family to Prince Cheng, but Prince Cheng refused. Later, after Xie Jingyin ascended the throne, he valued Prince Cheng. All the civil and military officials thought that it was related to Prince Cheng's lack of descendants. No one is afraid of a prince without a son taking power or having ambitions. Such a person will not covet the throne. Even if he works hard to get the throne, it will end up being given to someone else's son. Why bother fighting for it?

How come the king's concubine suddenly became pregnant?

However, Shen Wan did not think that this was a big deal. They even saved the life of Prince Cheng, and did not care whether Prince Cheng had no descendants. They just felt sorry for Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng had only one son, and someone drugged him. Prince Cheng also protected the person who poisoned him. If he had another son, Prince Cheng would care even less about his life or death.

Shen Wan shook her head to get rid of the matter from her mind and continued to look at the tiger-head shoes and hats made in the embroidery room.

When Xie Jingyan entered the room, Shen Wan showed him the tiger-head shoes and asked, "Do they look good?"

Xie Jingyan nodded, "Not bad."

Shen Wan held the tiger-head shoes in her hands, and felt particularly good thinking about how they would look on her child's little feet.

As the two were talking, there was suddenly a knock on the window.

"Come in."

Before Xie Jingyan finished speaking, Chen Feng jumped in through the window and said, "Master, the Prince of Xiliang was assassinated and fell off a cliff, and is missing..."

The eight hundred taels of silver just sent to Beijing in an express delivery were this news.

Xie Jingyan frowned.

Shen Wan was stunned, "The Prince of Xiliang is missing?"

Within one day, two things happened that had never happened in the previous life.

In his previous life, there was no news that the Prince of Xiliang encountered any assassins on his way back to Xiliang, nor did he go missing.

No wonder my father is worried about the war on the border and has to speed up the training of the cavalry. The prince of Xiliang was assassinated and disappeared in Da Chu. If he can't be found or is fine, Xiliang will surely march to the city and demand an explanation from Da Chu.

Shen Wan's mind raced. The biggest difference between this life and the previous one was that Xie Jingyin had lost power and had no chance of becoming the crown prince. As a result, King Cheng, who had supported him from behind, had also exposed himself.

In addition, King Cheng was in collusion with the people of Xiliang. Could the assassination and disappearance of the Prince of Xiliang be related to King Cheng?

Shen Wan was just guessing, but Xie Jingyan was already 70% sure in his heart.

Shen Wan asked Chen Feng, "Where is Princess Nanyi of Xiliang?"

Chen Feng said, "Princess Nanyi is fine, only the Crown Prince Xiliang is missing."

The disappearance of one person is already a huge matter. If something happens to Princess Nanyi as well, I’m afraid Xiliang will not even give Dachu time to find someone and will directly send troops to the city.

It was such an eventful time.

Shen Wan was a little worried. She looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "There won't be a war, right?"

Xie Jingyan said with a dark look in his eyes, "It all depends on whether the Crown Prince of Xiliang is lucky enough."

He reminded the Prince of Xiliang to be careful when he returned, and also asked the Prince of Xiliang to find out the people who colluded with King Cheng. As a result, an accident happened while the people were still in Da Chu.

Xie Jingyan went to the study. While he was having lunch, he was summoned to the palace by the emperor. Shen Wan had lunch alone. After lunch, she walked around the yard twice and then went to sleep.

Xie Jingyan would take care of the affairs in the court, and she only had to take care of herself and the baby in her belly.

She slept for about an hour before waking up. When she woke up, Yin Shuang came forward and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother just sent someone to reward Doctor Tao with a lot of things..."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan had just woken up, and her mind was still a little confused. "What did the Queen Mother reward Doctor Tao for?"

Doctor Tao saved the eldest prince, and the Emperor has rewarded him. Besides, so many days have passed, the Empress Dowager should not reward him again.

Yin Shuang said, "Prince Cheng was drugged a few years ago, and he only has a pair of children, the Prince Cheng and Princess Yong'an. Half a year ago, Doctor Tao treated Prince Cheng's illness. Princess Cheng was afraid that Prince Cheng's illness could not be cured and Prince Cheng would have no descendants, so she asked Doctor Tao to see Prince Cheng. Doctor Tao prescribed a prescription for Prince Cheng, and Prince Cheng took the medicine intermittently for three months before the concubine became pregnant..."

Shen Wan didn't expect that Prince Cheng would be drugged. If the concubine wasn't pregnant, the Queen Mother would have kept it a secret.

And the Queen...

Shen Wan didn't know what to say.

It's simply outrageously virtuous.

Her own son was so ill that he was almost beyond help, and she was also worried that Prince Cheng would have no descendants. Princess Cheng really had nothing to say to Prince Cheng. It was a pity that when she asked Doctor Tao to treat Prince Cheng, she never imagined that Prince Cheng would be so heartless to her. When she heard that the concubine was pregnant, she must have regretted it to death.

This can also explain why this life is different from the previous life. In the previous life, when Doctor Tao came to the capital, Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng had already died. If Doctor Tao had not been invited to treat their illnesses, he would not have treated Prince Cheng as well.

The Queen Mother's reward is what Doctor Tao deserves.
