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

When Shen Wan got out of bed, her legs felt sore and weak.

But my heart feels empty.

Even though he had just left Beijing and might not even have reached Shili Pavilion, she was already looking forward to his early return.

I'm very hungry, but I have no appetite and the food tastes like wax.

Shen Wan was depressed the whole day, and only when the child was around did she have a smile on her face.

In the evening, I sat on the swing, looking at the sunset over the distant mountains, lost in thought.

Yinshuang and Haitang wanted to persuade Shen Wan, but they didn't know where to start. Chen Feng and Chen Yu went to the border with Xie Jingyan, and they missed them a little and were worried about the dangers at the border, not to mention the princess.

Moreover, the princess not only has to worry about the prince, but also has to worry about the marquis and the crown prince.

Just wait two days.

The two maids stood quietly by the side. At this time, a little maid ran in from outside the courtyard gate and happily came forward to announce the good news, "Princess, the Minister of Rites' Mansion sent someone to announce the good news. It is said that Miss Chen has given birth to a boy..."

Shen Wan was in a daze for a moment before she realized that Yun Mo was about to give birth in the next few days.

Because Xie Jingyan had to go to the border, and in addition, he had been busy these days either going to Yan Mansion, Right Prime Minister Mansion, or Princess Huyang Mansion to attend a wedding banquet, so he was so busy that he forgot about this matter.

Shen Wan immediately told Haitang, "Ask Mother Zhou to prepare a gift. I will go and congratulate her tomorrow."

That night, Shen Wan did not sleep well. She was used to Xie Jingyan holding her while sleeping, so she tossed and turned until the second half of the night before she fell asleep.

If you go to bed late, you will get up late. When Shen Wan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Yinshuang and Haitang knew that she didn't sleep well, so no one woke her up. Although they had to go to the Minister of Rites' residence to congratulate and visit their cousin's grandmother today, it wouldn't hurt to go later.

After breakfast, Shen Wan took Yin Shuang out of the house and arrived at the outer courtyard. From a distance, she saw Xiao Xizi talking to Manager Zhou.

Xiao Xizi looked anxious and left in a hurry.

Manager Zhou turned around and saw Shen Wan. He saluted Shen Wan. Shen Wan asked, "What happened?"

Manager Zhou said, "The Eighth Prince is missing..."

Shen Wan frowned, "Why did the Eighth Prince disappear?"

Manager Zhou said, "Yesterday, the prince and the Prince of Yanping set off for the border, and the Eighth Prince left the palace to see the prince off. But I saw the prince off to Shili Pavilion, and I didn't see the Eighth Prince on the way there, nor on the way back. But people in the palace said that the Eighth Prince left the palace early in the morning. There was a curfew in the palace yesterday, and the Eighth Prince didn't go back..."

The Eighth Prince seldom left the palace, and when he did, he would play as late as he could. Many times he returned home just before the palace curfew.

After seeing off the guests, the Eighth Prince did not return for a long time, and the palace servants did not think much about it. But when the Eighth Prince did not return even after the palace curfew, this became a serious matter.

The Eighth Prince did not return to the palace. The palace servants did not dare to conceal this matter, and reported it to Concubine Wang Shu in the middle of the night. Concubine Wang Shu was worried all night, but there was nothing she could do. As soon as the Emperor went to the morning court, Concubine Wang Shu reported the matter to the Emperor, and the Emperor sent people out of the palace to investigate the whereabouts of the Eighth Prince.

Shen Wan found it strange. It was not the first time that the Eighth Prince had been out of the palace to play, and nothing had ever happened. A few days ago, when the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the Yan Mansion, and the Duke Du's Mansion held weddings, the Eighth Prince also went out of the palace to play.

If someone wanted to target the Eighth Prince, they would have done so long ago, there was no need to wait until yesterday.

Thinking of the Eighth Prince following Xie Jingyan to the battlefield in his previous life...

Could it be that the Eighth Prince secretly followed him to the border?

The more Shen Wan thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't rule out this possibility. She told Manager Zhou, "Send someone to chase Xiao Xizi, and ask Concubine Wang Shu to check the Eighth Prince's bedroom to see if he left any letters. I suspect he went to the border."

Manager Zhou agreed and immediately sent people to chase Xiao Xizi.

Shen Wan took Yin Shuang in a carriage to the Minister of Rites' residence.

The Minister of Rites was delighted to have a new baby in his mansion, and many people came to send gifts. Shen Wan arrived late, and when she got off the carriage, she happened to meet Madam Chen sending out Madam Yun.

Both of them were smiling.

I can't help but be happy.

One had a grandson, and the other had a grandson-in-law, they were very happy.

Seeing Shen Wan, Madam Chen and Madam Yun greeted Shen Wan. Shen Wan quickly helped them up and said, "Too many presents."

Shen Wan talked to Madam Yun for a few words and asked her to say hello to her grandmother, Old Madam Yun, on her behalf. She would go to the Yun family to see her in a few days. Madam Yun smiled and said, "The old lady will definitely be happy to know that you are going to see her."

The front door was not a place to talk, so Mrs. Yun went back first, and Mrs. Chen took Shen Wan to see Yun Mo.

Inside the house, Young Master Chen was accompanying Yun Mo. Yun Mo was leaning on a large pillow with a headband on her forehead, her face filled with happiness.

Shen Wan went in, and Young Master Chen bowed to her, then left without disturbing the cousins ​​from chatting in private.

Shen Wan looked at Yun Mo and said with a smile, "Congratulations, cousin, on the birth of your baby boy."

Yun Mo's eyes were filled with gratitude, "It's all thanks to you and Prince Ling."

If it weren't for Shen Wan and Prince Ling, she probably wouldn't have met Young Master Chen, let alone married him.

Thinking about the bad marriage that was called off, Yun Mo's heart was filled with gratitude.

The nurse brought the child over. Shen Wan looked at the sleeping child in the swaddling clothes and said with a smile, "His eyes and eyebrows look exactly like my cousin's husband."

More than just similar, they are almost carved from the same mold.

The maid covered her mouth and laughed, "The prince was showing off in front of the eldest master that the young prince looked like him. The eldest master also wanted to have a nephew who looked like him. He must be very disappointed this time."

Shen Wan couldn't help laughing.

Yun Mo had just given birth and needed more rest, so Shen Wan only stayed for a quarter of an hour before leaving.

It was Madam Chen who welcomed her into the mansion, and it was also Madam Chen who saw her off.

Shen Wan arrived at the right time. When she arrived, she ran into Madam Yun leaving. When she left, Yun Rui happened to come to see Yun Mo.

Seeing Shen Wan, Yun Rui's cheeks flushed. Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you blushing so much when you see me?"

Yun Rui said, "I, I came too late..."

"It's indeed a little late," Shen Wan said.

"..."

At this moment Yun Rui blushed even more.

Why did she come so late?

It’s all Lu Cheng’s fault.

This is also the reason why she saw Shen Wan blushing.

Yunrui asked, "Is cousin leaving now?"

Shen Wan smiled and said, "If you had come a quarter of an hour earlier, I would have stayed a little longer. Now that we are at the gate, I won't go back."

Yun Rui said, "I'll go to Prince Ling's mansion someday and we can talk for a while."

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Wan took the carriage back to Prince Ling's Mansion.

Back at Moyuxuan, I spent some time with my child in the yard basking in the sun.

During lunch, Yin Shuang came in and reported, "Princess, you guessed right, the Eighth Prince left a letter and went to the border..."

It’s really not easy to worry about.

The eighth prince is not very old, not even sixteen years old. When he goes to the border, Concubine Wang Shu must be worried about him.

Well, if Shen Wan hadn't reminded them, Concubine Wang Shu and the Emperor would never have thought that the Eighth Prince would leave a letter and secretly go to the border, because from beginning to end, the Eighth Prince never mentioned to Concubine Wang Shu and the Emperor that he wanted to go to the border.

How could the Eighth Prince not understand his father and mother? Even his father did not agree when his sixth brother went to the border, let alone him.

If you don't agree even if I bring it up, what's the point of bringing it up?

Things are accomplished through secrecy; great things are accomplished without making any noise.

So the Eighth Prince left the palace under the pretext of seeing someone off, and did not return all night. The people around him and Concubine Wang Shu thought that he had an accident outside the palace or was kidnapped or something like that, and did not want to search the house. After Shen Wan reminded her, Concubine Wang Shu hurried to the Eighth Prince's bedroom and found a letter in a book that the Eighth Prince was reading halfway.

The letter was so simple, with only two sentences:

Your Majesty, your Majesty, your son is going to the border.

Don’t read it.

Concubine Wang Shu was so angry that she wanted to have the Eighth Prince brought back and given him dozens of lashes with the cane, so that he couldn't even get out of bed, let alone go to the border.

Concubine Wang Shu knew that her son loved to play, and she was usually nervous about allowing him to go out of the palace to play. But what happened is that he actually dared to run to the border without telling her.

Concubine Wang Shu asked the emperor to send someone to bring the eighth prince back.

The emperor sent someone.

However, the eighth prince's horse is a fine horse sent by the Wei family in the northwest, and it is not something that an ordinary horse can catch up with.

The Eighth Prince was afraid that Xie Jingyan would not let him go to the border, so he left the palace early in the morning and walked in front of Xie Jingyan. Fearing that he would be caught up by Xie Jingyan, he found a place to hide halfway and waited for Xie Jingyan and the Prince of Yanping to leave first, and then followed behind.

He thought that he would catch up with Sixth Brother in three or five days. Then he would admit his mistake and Sixth Brother would not let anyone send him back to Beijing.

It was just a good idea, but the Eighth Prince forgot that Xie Jingyan and his men's horses were all first-rate steeds, and coupled with their high martial arts skills, not only did he fail to catch up, but the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.

The Eighth Prince chased them all the way to the border before he caught up with them. This was because Xie Jingyan and his men did not run away when they reached the border, otherwise he would never have caught up with them even if he was beaten to death.

The Eighth Prince could not catch up with Xie Jingyan, and the people sent by the Emperor could not catch up with the Eighth Prince.

Poor Concubine Wang Shu waited for news in the palace for a long time, but instead of waiting for her son to come back, she received the news that her son had already arrived at the border, which made Concubine Wang Shu very angry.
