"Dare, dare, dare! My husband is the most heroic man in the world, what is there to be afraid of?"

Shen Yangui wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief and said distressedly, "You didn't even wait for the sun to get weaker before running. You're sweating all over your head."

"I wanted to come over last night."

Mo Chengying held her back with both hands, "But I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen. It's okay if this matter is delayed for a few more days, but it will be useless for me to miss seeing you for a few more days."

"My husband is wise~"

"You still said that!"

Mo Chengying bit her lips lightly as a punishment and said:

"Since we returned from the lake yesterday, I have told myself over and over again that it was all an act, all fake. But when I thought of your face and the blood on the ground, I started to worry that you were really pregnant and you didn't even know it."

"The color on his face was created by sealing the acupuncture points with gold needles. The floor was covered with paint, and I even asked my uncle to wash the floor at night to prevent Cai Chong from finding out."

Shen Yangui touched his nose and shook his head, saying, "I won't let you lose your child in vain."

Mo Chengying's tone became more anxious, "Am I worried about losing a child?"

Shen Yangui hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I'm worried that a miscarriage would harm my body."

"I was wrong." Shen Yangui held his face, kissed him, and said devoutly, "It's all my fault. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"I see you are very brave, you will dare to do it again next time."

"Nonsense, my husband has taught me so much, how dare I disobey him?"

Mo Chengying couldn't do anything to her.

Qingshuang then brought in the sour plum soup.

Shen Yangui personally served him a bowl of soup and said, "I heard that you haven't been eating well these past two days, so I specially prepared this sour plum soup for you. I'll give it to Envoy Li later and ask him to give it to you."

Mo Chengying frowned slightly, "Poshan's mouth is really..."

"She cooks awful things all day long, which affects my appetite."

"She" naturally refers to Shen Qingyue.

"Just bear with it for two more days and return from the palace."

Shen Yangui handed him the sour plum soup. "In summer, the heat is very strong. Adding ice cubes can temporarily cool it down and make it taste better, but it is very easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. I asked someone to cool it in well water. You can try it."

Mo Chengying drank it all in one gulp, took two bites of snacks, and said eagerly:

"I'll have lunch and take a nap at your place, and go back when the sun sets."

When the word "just" came out, it seemed like a huge concession.

Shen Yangui flatly refused: "That won't work."

"Why?"

"You are here to call for justice." Shen Yangui stroked his hand for him, "How can you possibly stay that long?"

"Then you're just going to watch me go back in the hot sun?"

He spoke so pitifully that Shen Yangui couldn't bear it, "Then, have lunch."

The longer you can stay, the better. It will take a long time before the next time.

Mo Chengying took off his shoes, got on the couch, rested his head on Shen Yangui's legs, and put his arms around her waist.

Shen Yangui raised his hand towards Qingshuang, took out a round fan, and said while waving it:

"I have prepared the clothes and jewelry for Qixi Festival. You can give them to Shen Qingyue later."

"It's an advantage for her."

Saying that he would have lunch and then go back, Mo Chengying fell asleep while holding Shen Yangui in his arms.

Thinking that he had not slept all night yesterday, Shen Yangui didn't have the heart to wake him up.

When he wakes up, we can't let him go back on an empty stomach. The delayed lunch has already taken half a day to finish.

Since Cai Chong's people could not enter the "Upper and Lower Skylight", they must have arranged people to watch them from a distance.

Going out at this time would only arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, it is the end of the month and there is no moon in the sky, so we just wait until dark and find another way back.

"Shangxia Tianguang" where Shen Yangui lives and "Heqing Haiyan" where Mo Chengying lives are both islands by the water. The two gates seem to be far apart, only a quarter of an hour's walk away. In fact, where the water extends, the small pavilion on the west side of "Shangxia Tianguang" and Cuiwei Ju on the east side of "Heqing Haiyan" are only about fifty steps away.

Although Langyue Pavilion is between the two places, it is not facing the water but on the north side of the road.

If you look here from the south side of the lake, the ones that are actually next to each other are "Peaceful Rivers and Calm Seas" and "Light in the Sky".

Another way is to fly over the water.

Mo Chengying also planned this, so when he came, he only brought Poshan with him.

Looking back, he had returned long ago and had been reviewing memorials in the Qinxian Hall.

Even if Cai Chong was suspicious, he would probably suspect that the stalker was not doing his job seriously.

When Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui were having their meal, the chief guard had already brought people to surround "Upper and Lower Skylight".

Afterwards, they will directly deny to the public that the princess is pregnant, and only say that the princess is not feeling well and needs to rest.

Anyway, the princess’ pregnancy was never announced publicly.

Two more shifts of guards were added to patrol outside the courtyard, which meant that no matter day or night, after today, no one would be able to come in.

In this case, the one who would be uneasy would be Cai Chong.

Things have developed to this point, and he needs to be under control at every step so that he can continue to push forward with peace of mind, otherwise he will not move.

What happened when the prince and the princess met at this time is a mystery, and it is not a good thing for him.

He must understand what the prince and princess have said and done during this period.

So at night, he informed Lu Anyong and asked him to find a way to meet Jiang Congrong. Not only to ask about the matter of the skylight, but also to test how true and false Jiang Congrong was.

To test others, Lu Anyong had to think of a way, but to test Jiang Congrong, he did it with his eyes closed.

When Jiang Congrong was in Qifeng Village, he was not very good at drinking.

One jar is heart-warming, two jars are as powerful as thunder.

The next morning, Lu Anyong asked someone to take Jiang Congrong to a remote pavilion and bring him a roast chicken and two jars of wine.

He controlled his drinking and waited until Jiang was half drunk before he began to question him.

With Cai Chong's reminder, Lu Anyong became more cautious.

He first used the princess' miscarriage the night before to test the waters and make sure that Jiang Congrong was telling the truth before asking about the prince's visit to "Tianguang" yesterday.

Lu Anyong felt relieved, knowing that Jiang Congrong's golden needle would not be buried in vain.

Shen Yangui guessed that Cai Chong would let Lu An find Jiang Congrong. It was just a precaution, to plant the golden needle in advance to delay drunkenness, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

At this moment Jiang Congrong pretended to be drunk, and as the princess instructed, she said that she wanted to use a fake pregnancy to conceal her miscarriage, but was discovered by the prince.

He was holding a jar of wine and shouting that he wanted to seek revenge on Mo Chengying.

Lu An got the information he wanted, and fed Jiang Congrong another jar of wine. When he started snoring loudly, he asked a servant to bring the wine back to him, and then he went to report to Cai Chong.

Cai Chong's suspicions were mostly gone, and his vigilance naturally decreased as well.

The Qixi dinner will be held at "Heqing Haiyan".

The princess was recuperating and did not attend the banquet - this was the first time since the regent got married that he did not bring the princess to the banquet.

Lin'an took Xiao Yuanyuan to the opposite side to release river lanterns, but she did not show up either.

Shen Qingyue was dressed very elegantly today, with her hair tied up in a bun and a long golden hairpin with rubies, sapphires and green jade tassels.

A high-waisted pomegranate skirt, with clusters of peach blossoms on the terminalia, and an orange-colored ribbon with double-ear knots, cannot lock out the boundless spring scenery. A small purse hangs from the waist, and a wide-sleeved gauze shirt with floral patterns and crimson edges is worn on the outside.

When he raised his hand, his skin was faintly visible.

The chief guard was beside the prince.

Poshan is now experiencing daylight rising and falling.

Shen Yangui asked in front of the bronze mirror, "Did you bury Hua Shan'er in the Zhao family's courtyard last time?"
