The bitter medicinal taste instantly filled the mouth, and the decoction slid down the throat. It was extremely astringent and difficult to shake off.
Xue Yu placed the porcelain bowl on the table with a crisp sound, her expression unperturbed, "Bishui, please wait for me to wash up first."
Bishui had no choice but to obey.
After everything was finished, Xue Yu walked to the cradle. Baoer's eyes were clear in black and white, without any hesitation. He kept looking at the golden bell hanging on the cradle with his eyes wide open. He obviously liked it very much.
Little hands did not forget to hug Buhu.
Bishui didn't know what she was thinking of, so she smiled and said, "I remember that Mr. Wei sent someone to buy this bell, and this cloth tiger..."
There was a flash of confusion in Xue Yu's eyes, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Capital, the First Prince's Mansion.
The confidant was worried and said with cupped hands, "Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty suddenly know that we were selling our official positions? If we hadn't pushed this matter to others in time, we might have..."
The eldest prince swept all the books on the desk to the ground, smashed the tea cup to the ground, looked gloomy, and stared coldly, "There is no news about the secret agent sent to Huaiyang County. He has been killed in the hands of the prince. Naturally It’s the prince who is taking revenge on me!”
A confidant suddenly said, "Your Highness, the eldest prince, it is said that the prince was staying with a woman at that time. The prince has never been close to women, which is a bit strange."
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, "Really? This younger brother of mine doesn't care about women. My father once saw that he was alone and wanted to give several beautiful palace maids, but they were all rejected. Send someone to find out immediately. Who is that woman?"
Frontier, somewhere camp.
A man in black armor strode in with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty, Lord Meng has sent a letter!"
Lin Jingxun took it, opened the envelope, and read it quickly. Anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, his expression was no longer gentle, and he was filled with seriousness. His fists were clenched tightly, and the veins were prominent.
What a prince!
He held and doted on Xiaoyu like a jewel, how dare he treat her like this.
If the prince really loved Xiaoyu, why would he place her in a county governor's mansion?
Thinking that the prince and Xiaoyu even had a child, but were unwilling to give him a title, Lin Jingxun's heart felt like a knife, and he wished he could cut his flesh and blood.
The image of Xue Yu when she called his son, brother, kept reappearing in his mind. She was bright and charming, like a butterfly in the flowers.
Now he is being abused by another man.
If he had known this, why would he...
Lin Jingxun suppressed the turbulent emotions with a cold expression. He picked up the langhao pen, soaked in ink, and wrote on the white letter paper.
The handwriting penetrates the back of the paper and is extremely sharp.
Just the opposite of his gentle and fair appearance, two extremes.
The pen falls.
"Send this letter to Meng Yi immediately. If you meet the prince, you will be killed without mercy!" The voice was cold and full of murderous intent.
The man in black armor couldn't help but shuddered, "Yes."
Lin Jingxun's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing coldly, and gave him another letter, "Send someone to deliver this letter to the eldest prince."
The man was a little confused, but he still accepted the order.
Lin Jingxun stood with his hands behind his hands, showing his coldness. If the prince dared to touch his people, he would naturally have to cause some trouble for him.
＊
As time passes slowly, the summer heats up.
Xue Yu and Bao'er had already put on light clothes and had ice cream. They were eating food to relieve the heat, but it was not too hot.
Xue Yu had a headache at night.
Feeling the man's impending move, Xue Yu frowned slightly, feeling that Wei Jingchen's body was too hot, and his breath was scorching, like a small stove.
But after a while, I couldn't help but sweat forming on my forehead.
Wei Jingchen pinched her waist so hard that there were crimson marks on her waist, and his tone was slightly displeased.
"dislike me?"
Xue Yu's eyes were rippling with spring water, and her voice became seductive at some point, "No, I just feel it's so hot to be close together."
When Wei Jingchen heard this, his frown relaxed a little, and he leaned forward, "It doesn't matter, let them bring more ice later..."
Xue Yu wanted to say something else, but was quickly blocked.
All he could do was whimper pitifully.
In a daze, she vaguely felt the man touching her belly, "It's been so long, it's time for this..."
The next day.
When Xue Yu woke up, there was no one around her.
"Mrs. Xue, are you awake?" Bishui came over and helped her wash up.
Since she had taken the medicine last night, Xue Yu didn't feel any discomfort, but she felt a little strange when walking. "When did he leave?"
"About half an hour ago."
Xue Yu nodded, "In that case, bring me my soup."
Bishui hesitated for a long time, but finally took the medicine, "When I saw Young Master Wei leaving just now, his expression seemed ugly, as if he was about to kill someone. I'm afraid something happened to him."
Xue Yu held the porcelain bowl, her fingertips turned slightly white, and she opened her mouth to ask something, but still said nothing.
She was going to leave this place right away, so why bother anymore.
He raised his head and drank the decoction. There was no trace of the concoction left.
Bishui's mood was a little complicated.
But she was just a slave, so she naturally stopped talking and walked out with the porcelain bowl.
When I saw a man in black clothes walking towards me, with a posture like a crane and a cold face, like Shura, I couldn't help but panic, and reluctantly saluted, "I have seen Mr. Wei."
Wei Jing glanced sideways and saw the porcelain bowl in the blue water, and there was a faint smell of bitter medicine.
He paused slightly and asked in a cold voice, "What is this?"
Bishui felt as if the man had seen through her completely. She was covered in cold sweat and her voice was trembling. "When I came back to defend the young master, Mrs. Xue felt a little unwell, so the doctor prescribed medicine to replenish qi and blood."
Wei Jingchen didn't think much and waved his hand, "I know, you can go down first."
Bishui breathed a sigh of relief, finally hiding it.
inside the house.
Xue Yu also heard the conversation outside, and her back suddenly relaxed. When she looked down, she realized that the handkerchief in her hand had been rubbed out of shape.
Seeing Wei Jingchen walking in, Xue Yu pretended to be calm and said as if nothing had happened, "Why are you here suddenly?"
Wei Jingchen's face was cold and handsome, and his eyes stared deeply at her, "Something happened in the capital. As the prince, I have to go back and deal with it as soon as possible. You ask them to pack your luggage now, and we will leave tonight."
Xue Yu's eyes widened and she was a little stunned. She didn't expect it to come out of the blue so she refused without hesitation, "No, no."
If she left with Wei Jingchen on this trip, it would be difficult to escape if she wanted to.
No matter what, she had to stay.
Wei Jingchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with anger, "Why? Or are you still thinking about the dead man?!"
Xue Yu's thin white fingers curled up slightly, and her voice was a little harsh, "Xiaobao is still young. I'm worried that he won't be able to bear the long journey."
Wei Jing was silent.
Xue Yu thought that the man was unwilling to agree, so she mustered up her courage, stepped forward and held his slightly rough palm, and said in a pitiful tone, "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
After all, Wei Jingchen couldn't stand Xue Yu's pleading, his eyes were filled with dark emotions and his voice was deep.
"wait me back."
