Ye Zhen's belly grew bigger day by day. Now she had to hold Hong Ling's hand when she went out for a walk. Otherwise, she was afraid of walking unsteadily. When she got up this morning, she took advantage of the good weather and went out for a walk. After a while, she found something wrong.
"Why are there more guards today?" Ye Zhen knew that Mo Rongzhan had arranged guards around her. She didn't go out on weekdays because she didn't see them. Every day when she went out for a walk, she would see invisible guards in various obscure corners. Today, however, she found that there were more guards.
Hong Ling glanced around. She didn't pay much attention to her surroundings and didn't notice any change in the number of guards.
"Your Highness, there are ten more people today than yesterday." Hong Ying had already noticed and whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's heart sank. Suddenly, more people were sent over. Did something happen in the capital?
"Go and call Xue Lin and Wu Chong." Ye Zhen was very worried about Mo Rongzhan and wanted to know if there was anything wrong in the capital.
Hong Ying said, "Your Highness, this servant will go and call them immediately."
Xue Lin and Wu Chong, who were outside the paddy yard, learned that the Empress wanted to see them. They looked at each other and said to Hong Ying, "Miss Hong Ying, we still have important things to do. Can you tell the Empress that we will see her later?"
"Isn't the most important thing for the Emperor to keep you here to protect the Empress and obey her orders?" Hong Ying didn't believe their excuses at all. Something must have happened, otherwise, they would not avoid seeing the Empress.
Xue Lin and Wu Chong smiled bitterly, "Miss Hong Ying …"
"It seems that you are very clear about what happened in the capital. Otherwise, why would you send so many guards?" Hong Ying said, "You'd better tell the Empress the truth."
"No, we haven't found out the truth yet. What if the Empress misunderstands?" Xue Lin said anxiously. If the Empress knew that Empress Shu was pregnant, she would be so angry that she would immediately return to the palace to find the Emperor. The Emperor was so protective of the Empress that he would certainly be reluctant to let her have an accident.
Just now, Shen Yi sent a message that if anything happened to the Empress, the entire Chengde Manor would be buried with her.
"What will the Empress misunderstand?" Hong Ying asked warily.
Xue Lin and Wu Chong looked at each other. "Nothing!"
Hong Ying sneered, "Then let's go see the Empress. I don't believe that you will say nothing."
"No, no, no!" Xue Lin hurriedly said, "There is news from the palace that Honored Consort Shu is pregnant. We just feel that it doesn't seem to be true, so we don't dare to tell the Empress. We'd better wait for the Emperor to send someone to tell the Honored Consort."
"What?" Hong Ying's expression changed. "How is that possible! It's only been a few days … "
How could it be impossible! It had been almost a month …
Xue Lin said, "Yes, we also feel that it is impossible, so don't tell the Empress about this for now."
Hong Ying's face paled. She shook her head. If this matter was known by the Empress, she would definitely … would definitely be very hurt. "Can you hide this from the Empress for a lifetime?"
"Then what should I say?" Wu Chong asked.
"Lord Xue, someone at the foot of the mountain wishes to see the Empress." A guard at the gate of the villa came over and said, "She said her name is Zhao Ning, a princess of the Kingdom of Qi."
Wu Chong frowned and said, "The Empress did not say that she wanted to see her. The Emperor also said that no one is allowed to disturb the Empress in the villa. Let the Qi Princess go back."
"Wait a minute." Xue Lin pulled Wu Chong. "Let Zhao Ning go in to see the Empress. This way, we can delay the time. Let's first inquire about the news from the palace."
"Brother Wu is right. I will ask the Empress if she wants to see Zhao Ning." Hong Ying said. Although she didn't like Zhao Ning's temperament, she thought that she was not too bad since she had saved the Empress.
Ye Zhen waited for Xue Lin and Wu Chong in the room. Before they arrived, she heard that Zhao Ning had come to see her.
"Empress, Miss Zhao said that she wanted to come and say goodbye to you in person. Do you want to let her in? If you don't want to see her, this servant will go back to her. "
"Go and invite her in." Ye Zhen whispered. She didn't know if she would have a chance to see Zhao Ning in the future.
Ye Zhen looked at Hong Ying. "What did Xue Lin and the others say?"
Hong Ying's face was a little unnatural. She smiled stiffly and said, "Empress, they said that this was Lord Shen's idea. I don't know the reason."
It seems that something really happened …
"Then wait a little longer." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Zhao Ning came to Chengde Villa on impulse today. She didn't know if the Empress would see her. Not long ago, the Empress was so affectionate with the Emperor in Anhe City. Now, she could only be left out in the cold.
"Princess, do you think the Jin Kingdom's Empress will see you?" Song Honao, standing behind Zhao Ning, asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yong knew that Zhao Ning was coming to Chengde Villa, so he asked Song Honao to escort her personally. Although he wanted to come himself, it was not appropriate in terms of etiquette or seniority. Song Honao was the most suitable.
"I don't know." Zhao Ning shook her head gently. She was not sure if the Empress would let her enter the villa.
Song Honao looked at her. "I don't know if she will see you. Do you still want to come?"
"It's my business to visit the Empress. Whether she wants to see me or not is her business." Zhao Ning said snappily. "Although the Empress is a difficult person to please, she is a good person. I am leaving the Jin Kingdom. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet her in the future. For the sake of her help, it is reasonable for me to come and say goodbye to her."
"You saved Mo Rongzhan. They should thank you." Song Honao didn't think that Zhao Ning owed Mo Rongzhan anything.
Zhao Ning said, "If it weren't for the Empress, it would have been useless for me to save the Emperor. He would not have survived at all. The Empress is the one who saved the Emperor."
Song Honao looked at Zhao Ning. "Is Lu Yaoyao's medical skills really that good?"
"The most powerful old woman in our Hua Village has already said that the Emperor would not wake up. At that time, the Emperor did not even have a heartbeat. But after the Empress came, I don't know how she treated the Emperor. He woke up after a few days." Zhao Ning said. "Do you think the Empress's medical skills are good?"
No wonder people said that Lu Yaoyao's medical skills could bring the dead back to life. It seemed that it was true.
"If that's the case, then Lu Yaoyao has done a great service for Mo Rongzhan. Why would she be neglected in Chengde Villa?" Song Honao asked curiously.
Zhao Ning said snappily, "Because men are not good. They are so hateful that they like the new and hate the old."
Song Honao, who was also a man, was unreasonably angry. He touched the tip of his nose and pointed to the front. "Someone is coming."
The person who came was Xue Lin.
