Quick Wear: After the charming host got pregnant, the boss spoiled her like crazy

Inside Wanshou Hall.

Princess Ye Lao was wearing a dark crimson shirt with wide sleeves, the sleeves of which were embroidered with intricate patterns. She looked noble and gorgeous, with an extraordinary demeanor.

Her gray hair was meticulously combed into a loose bun. She leaned on the large embroidered pillow by the window, her eyes slightly closed, resting.

When she heard the maid report that the prince had arrived with his new princess consort, she just raised her hand slightly to signal for the person to come over.

Gu Huaian and Shen Nian were respectfully brought to the door of Princess Ye's house by the maid.

The maid at the back of the room opened the curtain for them and invited the couple in.

As soon as I entered, I felt a wave of heat coming towards me. The weather was still cold, and the owner of the house seemed to be very afraid of the cold and was still burning silver charcoal in the house.

The things in the house were few but exquisite, and were placed very elegantly. The maids serving in the house were all pretty and well-behaved.

If the maids are like this, let alone the masters.

The old princess was helped by Nanny Xiao to sit up straight and saw Gu Huaian and his wife come in.

He asked indifferently, "You are here."

Although the old princess' voice sounded a little old, it was full of majesty.

Based on Shen Nian's experience in her previous life, she knew at first glance that this old princess was not a good person.

Princess Ye looked Shen Nian up and down with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Shen Nian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Old Princess Ye and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Gu Huaian stepped forward and blocked the old princess's sight.

"Grandson and new bride Shen Nian greet grandma."

"May your grandmother live long and prosper."

They both greeted each other.

The old princess smiled, retracted her gaze, looked at Gu Huaian, and said: "How is Huaian's health recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, grandma. My health is still the same as before, I am just hanging on by a thread."

Gu Huaian spoke in a low and slow voice, as if he was a little tired after saying so many words in one breath.

Hearing this, a smile flashed across the old concubine Yu's eyes, but the expression on her face became more serious.

"Ms. Shen, you must take good care of Huai'an and try to give birth to a little prince for the Ye Palace as soon as possible.

As for Huai'an, you should go out less in the future, take good care of yourself, and don't let the daughter of the Shen family become a widow early. "

When Gu Huaian heard what the old concubine said, a gloom flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Shen Nian felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. What did the old princess mean by this? She actually cursed Gu Huaian to death.

Shen Nian no longer lowered his head, and raised his clear eyes to meet the old princess's sharp eyes.

"Grandma taught me that my granddaughter-in-law will take good care of Huai'an. Please also take care of yourself so that the future young master can also benefit from the blessing of my great-grandmother."

When the old princess heard this, her face suddenly darkened, her eyes became cold, she stared at Shen Nian and said in a cold voice:

"Ms. Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Nian was not afraid at all, he looked directly at the old princess and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Grandma, I just hope that you will be healthy and live a long life, so that I can see my great-grandson being born. This will also fulfill Huai'an's filial piety."

The old princess snorted coldly and said:

"What a clever mouth you have! I hope you can keep your promise and give birth to a boy to the Night King's Palace soon!"

After saying this, the old princess stopped talking, raised her hand and pressed her temple, signaling Madam Xiao to see the guest off.

Shen Nian and his companion came out of Wanshou Hall and walked side by side on the corridor.

Gu Huaian held Shen Nian's hand and asked her.

"Were you defending me just now?"

Shen Nian looked into his dark eyes and said.

“I thought I had made it obvious enough.”

Gu Huaian's eyelashes trembled, and when he spoke, there was a hint of smile in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.

"Thanks!"

"We are husband and wife, why should we be so polite? Okay, stop talking nonsense. I haven't had a good rest since last night. I need to go back to my room and sleep quickly."

Shen Nian held his hand and ran a few steps. The wind lifted her hair and brought her sweet and reassuring fragrance.

Gu Huaian ran along with her footsteps, his eyes following the figure of the person in front of him with passion, as if they were a burning flame.

Gu Huaian watched Shen Nian fall asleep, and only when he saw that she was fast asleep did he leave the main house and go to his study.

"Prince, you are here."

As soon as Ping An saw Gu Huaian coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Look, my lord, I haven't been lazy during the past few days since you got married. Look at this shelf. Apart from me, who else in the entire Yewang Mansion can clean it so cleanly?"

Ping'an would jump to the bookshelf, then pick up a vase to show Gu Huaian, fully displaying the fruits of his labor.

Gu Huaian ignored his jumping up and down, walked slowly to the desk and sat down.

"Peace, has the Nighthawk come?"

When Ping An heard the prince's question, the expression on his face immediately became serious.

"I came here and waited for a while, but the prince didn't show up. I left a letter in the secret compartment and left.

Gu Huaian hummed, stood up and walked to the bookshelf. He placed his jade-like hand on the vase that Ping An had polished to a shine, and turned it to the right three times.

"Click"

A soft sound.

The bookshelf slowly moved to the left, revealing a large disc hidden behind it.

The disc slowly pushed out a small grid.

There was an apricot-yellow envelope in the grid.

Gu Huaian reached out and took the envelope out of the grid, opened the seal and took out a blank piece of paper.

Gu Huaian walked to the desk holding the paper, and Ping An immediately lit the candle on the table.

Gu Huaian placed the white paper over the flame and gently toasted it. Three lines of words immediately appeared on the blank paper.

The emperor's headache has worsened again.

Shen Wan is dead.

Chen Jinnan went to the courtesan Liang Yue in Jinyu Tower today.

Gu Huaian's eyes swept over the words on the paper. After a while, a corner of the letter was lit by Gu Huaian on the candle. In the flickering flame, the letter turned into ashes.

"Go get Bai Jiu."

Gu Huaian solemnly ordered Ping An to find someone.

As soon as Ping'an left the study, he hurried to the guest house where Bai Jiu was staying in the Yewang Mansion.

The courtyard where Bai Jiu lived was located on the east side of the Night King's Mansion, far away from the main courtyard. It was deserted and there was no one in sight.

Ping'an pushed open the gate, and a slight airflow blew up the fallen leaves in the yard.

Ping An stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Mr. Bai, my prince is looking for you."

After calling out once and hearing no one respond, Ping An called out a few more times.

"Shut up, or I'll sew your mouth shut."

Bai Jiu pushed open the door and walked out of the room in a casual manner. He wore a pure and elegant white coat in a casual and unrestrained manner. He cleaned his ears with one hand and closed the door with the other.

Ping An immediately shut up when he saw him coming out. He made a zipper-like motion to show that he would never speak again.

Bai Jiu followed him to Gu Huaian's study.

Bai Jiu walked into the study and saw Gu Huaian sitting at the desk with a serious look on his face.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jiu also stopped being careless.

"The prince asked me to come here now, but something happened in the palace."

His Majesty has been suffering from headaches recently, and every time he has a headache, he is in critical condition. Bai Jiu thought that Gu Huaian called him here because something happened to His Majesty.

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaian did not answer his question, but only signaled him to sit down with his eyes.

"Chen Jinnan went to Jinyulou."

"What?"

Bai Jiu, who was just about to sit down, was startled by his words and stood up again.

Gu Huaian raised his eyes and glanced at him unhappily, not quite happy with his making a fuss.

"I need you to go to Liangyue tonight and keep watch. Make sure you get evidence of Gu Qinzhi's collusion with the enemy."

Gu Qinzhi is the uncle of Prince Ye's half-brother Gu Huaian, and the Minister of War of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Chen Jinnan is Gu Qinzhi's confidant.

Gu Qinzhi had been jealous of his elder brother since he was a child. After becoming the Minister of War, he was determined to surpass his elder brother and become the most powerful person in the entire Gu family.

For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to sell out his country and join the Xiongnu. He secretly drew a diagram of the steps for the Ministry of War to develop gunpowder, hoping that Chen Jinnan would secretly take it to the Xiongnu envoy.

Fortunately, Gu Huaian had placed secret guards around him in the past, so he was able to stop him before he caused a disaster.
