Back at the palace, Fu Jinan sent Luo Ran to the inner courtyard, and then went to the outer study.
Luo Ran had already guessed that he would definitely have to deal with what happened tonight, so he didn't wait for him and called Chunyu in after taking a bath alone.
After Chunyu came in, Youqing went out and closed the door, guarding the door himself.
"How's the investigation going?"
Luo Ran asked.
Chunyu looked serious, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, opened it, and found some medicine residue inside.
Staring at these medicine residues, Luo Ran felt a little nervous unconsciously.
Chunyu didn't feel calm at this time.
Before leaving in the evening, the princess told her to pay attention to the prince's study. At first, she didn't take it seriously until she found these medicine residues.
Her voice was a little tight: "Princess, is it that the prince was injured during this trip, so..."
Luo Ran shook his head, took the dregs of the medicine and rolled it on his fingertips. Maybe it was not long ago, and it was still a little damp. He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The smell of the medicine was not strong, so it must have been a small amount. But for the moment I couldn't tell what kind of medicine it contained. It always felt a little weird, not like ordinary medicine for treating wounds.
"Put it away and send it to the Huichen Hall tomorrow so no one finds it."
Luo Ran collected the medicine residue and gave it to Chun Yu.
Chunyu carefully put it into his sleeve: "Yes, I understand."
Luo Ran asked again: "How did you find out?"
Chunyu took a breath and said: "I followed your instructions and only said that I was going to visit Changyun. Changyun has been recuperating in the courtyard behind the study in the past few days since he returned to the capital. When I went there, I happened to catch up with the small kitchen making medicine. The slave pretended to help, and then..."
Then she realized something was wrong.
There is another room in the small kitchen. The servants said that it is for the exclusive use of the prince and no one is allowed to enter.
While others were busy, Chunyu sneaked in and found the medicine residue in the corner that he had not had time to deal with.
At first, she thought the prince was injured and was afraid that the princess would be worried, so she cooked the medicine alone in the small kitchen.
But when I think about it, I feel something is wrong.
Even if Changyun was the prince's personal guard and was valued by the prince, he would not share a small kitchen with the prince to cook medicine.
Unless...unless the prince is using Changyun's injury to hide something.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.
Before Luo Ran returned home, Chunyu even inspected the inner courtyard from the inside out, especially the food and clothing used by the princess, and even the two young masters.
Just looked around and found nothing.
Looking at the look of the princess now, it seemed that she had already made a guess. Before the matter was found out, she did not dare to speak nonsense for fear of hurting the relationship that the princess and the prince had finally established.
In the middle of the night, Luo Ran was already asleep when Fu Jinan came back. However, someone still dragged me around for a while, and I didn't fall asleep again until I was extremely tired.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Luo Ran held on to his sore waist and changed clothes while You Qing waited on him.
Youqing served you while whispering: "Your Majesty had breakfast this morning and went to court. Chunyu lied about going out to help you buy things, and he went out just now."
Luo Ran nodded.
"Mother! Mother!"
Qing Ning and Jing Xing wanted to find their mother as soon as they got up in the morning. But my father specifically told me that my mother was not allowed to come in until she got up.
Although the two little guys are usually naughty, they are also obedient.
Dad said not to disturb mother, so the two of them didn't come over and played by themselves in the west corner. It wasn't until they heard the noise here that the two of them ran over.
Qing Ning looked at Luo Ran, pointed her little finger at her cheek and said, "Mother lies in bed, mother is so embarrassed!"
Jing Xing laughed at the side. Although he didn't say it, he still meant it.
Being laughed at by two children over one year old, Luo Ran felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately there were no outsiders.
Luo Ran deliberately grabbed Qing Ning and tickled her: "You little bad girl, how dare you laugh at my mother! See if my mother won't take care of you!"
The room was filled with the laughter of mother and son.
Enough fussing, Luo Ran had breakfast, and Chun Yu came back.
"princess……"
His expression was strange, and he hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Luo Ran understood a little bit. The smile on his face disappeared and asked Youqing to take the two children out.
Qingning and Jing Xing were not happy to see their mother, and they did not dare to bother her anymore, so they were led away by Youqing.
"Tell me, what is that medicine?"
At this moment, Luo Ran calmed down.
Chunyu hesitated for a moment and said: "The doctor at Huichun Hall said that the medicinal residue in this is... a medicine that prevents pregnancy..."
At the end of the sentence, the voice weakened.
Sure enough, Luo Ran frowned. But in a flash he thought it was wrong and said, "Have you noticed anything wrong with my daily eating?"
Seeing that the princess had misunderstood, Chunyu quickly shook her head: "Princess, to be honest, before you and the prince came back yesterday, the servants had already checked and everything in our yard was normal!"
"That……"
Luo Ran was frightened by an idea in his mind and did not dare to say it out for a while.
But Chunyu nodded and said: "This medicine... yes, it was taken by the prince!"
Boom!
He didn't hold the tea cup in his hand, and it suddenly fell over on the kang table. The tea inside spilled out and instantly stained his sleeves.
Youqing, who was at the door, heard the noise, leaned in and took a look, then turned around to get clean clothes.
While waiting for Luo Ran to change, he whispered: "Princess, don't think too much, maybe, maybe the prince has his own reasons."
She heard everything Chunyu said inside.
I want to persuade but I don’t have the confidence.
Others don't know it, but the people they serve personally can feel the changes in their master's mood the most.
If the young lady had no choice but to marry Mr. Fu in the past, after spending such a long time together, the prince truly held the princess in his hands and doted on her. Even the coldest heart is warm.
Especially since the two young masters are older, although the princess does not look forward to having another child. But if she knew that the husband she faced every day had other thoughts and was unwilling to let her get pregnant, this was a completely different matter.
Youqing didn't know how to persuade her, so she suddenly thought and said, "Princess, didn't Princess Anzhen come to see you last night? Would you like to go to the small kitchen and have a look? Princess Anzhen likes the snacks you make the most." .”
Luo Ran knew that she was deliberately diverting his attention, and he really should calm down, so he nodded: "Okay."
Seeing her agree, Youqing and Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief.
At noon, Fu Jinan came out of the palace and asked Changying: "How is the princess?"
Changying replied: "To return to the prince, the princess has had breakfast for the first time. After breakfast, she played with the two young masters for a while, and then went to the small kitchen. Princess Anzhen is now in the palace."
When he heard "small kitchen", Fu Jinan's fingers moved.
After a moment, he said: "From today on, the people should take the medicine to the command post."
Changying said unconsciously: "Now that Changyun is in the mansion, the princess should not..."
Halfway through, he swallowed it back and said, "Yes! I will do it now."
Fu Jinan raised his head and looked in the direction of Prince Xuan's Mansion. He didn't know if it was his imagination. He had been feeling a little flustered for the past two days. He hoped that the little woman wouldn't notice.
