The third prince collected his thoughts and slowly turned around.
He opened the secret letter and quickly read the contents.
His face became darker.
The air in the study instantly became cold, and the guard stiffened, lowering his head desperately to reduce his presence.
The third prince held the secret letter in his hand and was silent for a moment. It was not until his hands were clenched into fists that the secret letter was crumpled that he spoke.
"Is there any news from Mr. Gui?"
The guard hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, Mr. Gui said that with two more medicinal ingredients, we can get it together."
After hearing the news, the third prince's gloomy face finally softened a bit.
He ordered: "Secretly send someone to assist Mr. Gui. We must find the last two medicinal ingredients as soon as possible. We don't have much time left..."
"I obey my orders!"
After the guards retreated, the third prince held the secret letter and walked to the candlestick nearby. He placed the secret letter on the candle and burned it. He did not turn around and leave the study until he watched the secret letter burn out with his own eyes.
…
When Jiang Jingyu was seven months pregnant, her belly was already a little pregnant and her body began to swell.
Fu Yanci had always done things like rubbing her shoulders and squeezing her legs himself. Today he squeezed Jiang Jingyu's calves as usual, and only put on her shoes and socks after the swelling had almost dissipated.
Fu Yanci took Jiang Jingyu's arm out of bed and tucked her hair behind her ears: "The weather is nice today. Let me go for a walk with Ayu."
Xiang Lao said that pregnant women should move around appropriately, so Fu Yanci would take Jiang Jingyu for a walk in the back garden every day.
Jiang Jingyu nodded and let Fu Yanci tie the cloak on herself.
It was October, and although the sun was shining outside, there was still a hint of coolness in the breeze, which made people shiver when it penetrated the collar.
Fu Yanci took Jiang Jingyu's arm and was about to accompany her for a walk in the back garden when Mrs. Qin rushed over.
"Mom thought it was a good day and was planning to take Jingyu out for a walk. It just so happened that since she has come out, how about we go to the back garden for a walk?"
Mrs. Qin came to Jiang Jingyu and took her from Fu Yanci's hand.
"Yanci, you go and do your work. Just leave Jingyu to me."
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she helped Jiang Jingyu and walked out, ignoring the darkened Fu Yanci behind her.
As the months went by, Jiang Jingyu began to become sleepy. Although Fu Yanci had been staying in the general's mansion since he left the court, it was not actually long that he could talk to Jiang Jingyu.
Now he finally got the chance to put down his work and spend some time alone with Jiang Jingyu, but he was intercepted halfway.
Mrs. Qin walked with Jiang Jingyu in the back garden for a while, and finally stopped at a pavilion.
In order to make it easier for Jiang Jingyu to sit down, all the stone benches in the General's Mansion were covered with soft cushions after autumn. Jiang Jingyu and Qin could sit directly on the stone benches without worrying about catching cold.
Jiang Jingyu was unable to move around outside, so Mrs. Qin told her the gossip outside as usual.
Qin was talking happily when Yinghong came to her in a hurry.
"Madam, a letter from Fuyang."
"Fuyang? Is it written by the second sister?"
Ms. Qin was a little surprised. Although she had a close relationship with Qin Fenglan, the two sisters did not usually exchange letters.
Mrs. Qin opened the letter with surprise. After seeing the content in the letter, her expression instantly changed from surprise to shock!
"Mother, who is this letter from?"
After reading it, Mrs. Qin did not shy away and handed the letter directly to Jiang Jingyu.
"It was written by your second aunt in Fuyang."
Jiang Jingyu quickly browsed the above content and said clearly: "It turns out that the second aunt's daughter is getting married. Will the mother want to return to Fuyang to attend the cousin's wedding banquet?"
"Don't go!"
Qin refused without thinking.
Qin's eyes were complicated and she shook her head without saying anything: "I didn't expect Yun'er to choose this marriage despite her second sister's objection!"
Seeing her attitude, Jiang Jingyu asked doubtfully: "The letter said that cousin Lingyun was promised to the magistrate of Fuyang. The magistrate is a fifth-rank official. Her family background and family status are not bad. Is there anything wrong with this marriage?"
Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth, feeling a little embarrassed: "Then Zhizhou is already over fifty, a few years older than the second sister."
Jiang Jingyu: "..."
Before Jiang Jingyu could finish digesting it, Qin dropped another bombshell.
"And Zhizhou already has a family, and Yun'er married not to be the mistress of the house, but to be the concubine of the eighteenth room."
Jiang Jingyu, who was sent flying for the second time: "...?"
At such a young age, it’s not easy to find a close friend to marry, but you want to be an old man’s concubine?
Picture what?
Is it because he is ugly or because he is old? ?
Jiang Jingyu said he didn't understand but respected.
Then wish her success.
Mrs. Qin sighed and told Yinghong: "Send someone to send some gifts, and then ask Xiang Laowei to prescribe a prescription for the second sister to treat depression."
"yes."
Qi Lingyun committed herself to an old man over fifty years old because of his power. Qin Fenglan was already furious without even thinking about it.
After having that dream, Qin didn't care about Qi Lingyun anymore, but her second sister had always been close to her, so she had to take care of herself!
One month later.
A letter sent in the middle of the night broke the tranquility of the general's mansion.
Fu Yanci left a kiss on the sleeping Jiang Jingyu's forehead, tucked her in, then left the room and took the letter to the old lady's courtyard. Mrs. Qin also hurried over after getting the news.
The old lady held the letter and looked at the contents with a solemn expression.
Snapped--
After reading the letter, the old lady became angry and slammed the letter on the table.
"Asshole! He doesn't regard the lives of ordinary people as his fate!"
Fu Yanci pursed his lips: "Grandma, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot make any mistakes. My grandson plans to leave for Jiangnan immediately to save the Crown Prince!"
The old lady looked at him, her brows full of struggle.
After a long time, the old lady closed her eyes with a sad look on her face.
"Be careful, grandma, your mother and Jing Yu, we are all waiting for you to come back."
Life or death in Jiangnan was unpredictable. The old lady's selfish intention was not to let Fu Yanci go through this troubled water, but the righteousness in her heart always reminded her that they were burdened with responsibilities.
There is a country first and then there is a home.
"My grandson, I would like to thank my grandmother for making it happen! As for Ayu, I hope my grandmother will help me hide it."
Mrs. Qin just arrived when Fu Yanci left the old lady's room.
Seeing Fu Yanci walking in a hurry, Mrs. Qin hurriedly stopped him: "Yanci, where are you going so late?"
"Grandma and Aunty asked mother to take care of them."
Fu Yanci left these words and shook off Qin's arm, heading towards the night.
"Yanci, Yanci, come back!"
Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. She hurriedly shouted at Fu Yanci's back, raising her feet to catch up.
"stop!"
The old lady stopped her action sternly.
Seeing that Fu Yanci was about to disappear, Mrs. Qin stamped her feet anxiously, and finally turned around and stepped into the old lady's room.
"Mother, where did Yanci go?"
The old lady had no intention of hiding it from Mrs. Qin, so she explained the whole story in a short story.
Ms. Qin staggered and almost fell to the ground after hearing this. Her eyes were red and she screamed in pain.
"God, why do you want to play such a joke on us? The remaining poison in Yanci's body has finally been cured, and Jing Yu has finally become pregnant with the child. Why do you want to play such a joke on us?"
"Okay, now is not the time to complain. While we are delayed, we should first find a way to hide it from Jing Yu!"
The old lady and Mrs. Qin discussed for a long time and finally came up with a perfect plan.
The next day, when Jiang Jingyu woke up, Fu Yanci was no longer around. Her heart pounded, feeling that something big was about to happen.
She got off the bed with her bare feet and stumbled towards the door.
"Hey, Jingyu, why did you come out without wearing shoes? Come on, go back quickly, the ground is cold, be careful of freezing!"
Mrs. Qin was startled when she saw Jiang Jingyu who was barefoot, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Jiang Jingyu grabbed Qin's hand: "Mom, where is Yanci? Did he go to Jiangnan?"
