Chapter 214 Brave Madam Li
Prince Su drank a cup and said calmly:
"nothing."
He felt depressed. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he was still caught off guard when it finally arrived.
Princess Jiang saw it and felt heartbroken.
"I heard that Madam Pei is pregnant. Did you see her when you went to the General's Mansion?"
"Hmm!" Prince Su was absent-minded.
"She is the firstborn, so there are many things to be careful of. Mother has already ordered some nourishing food to be prepared. You can deliver it to her in person one day."
"Oh."
"And Huan'er, he refuses to come live in the palace. He must be harboring resentment towards the Emperor. This child has a cold exterior but a warm heart, and clearly distinguishes between love and hate. Now that our identities have been revealed, we should get closer to him so he knows we are different from the Emperor."
Now that Prince Jing has fallen and Concubine Wen has been imprisoned, the eldest prince's case has not yet been overturned, but the emperor has already ordered an investigation, so there is hope.
After being secretive for so long, she can finally interact openly with Huan Ge'er. Concubine Jiang has been waiting for this day for an unknown amount of time.
"I understand, concubine."
Prince Su still responded indifferently.
"Son, you're not a child anymore. It's time..."
Before Concubine Jiang could finish her words, Prince Su interrupted her and stood up to move the cup away: "Mother, I am very tired today. If you have nothing else to do, I will go to rest."
Prince Su bowed and went to the side hall.
He naturally knew what Concubine Jiang was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it! He'd better avoid her for as long as he could.
As soon as Prince Su left, the nanny came over.
"Your Highness, I heard from the guards around His Highness that after His Highness left the General's Mansion, he went to the Sun Mansion, but Young Master Sun didn't let him in and directly drove him out."
Concubine Jiang looked at the door of the side hall, closed her eyes and took a sip of tea.
"In the past, his antics were fine. But given the current situation, if he wants to go any further, he can't continue to act so absurdly."
"The palace is hosting a grand banquet on New Year's Eve. Go tell Concubine Li that Miss Lin is invited to the banquet. I'd love to see her."
"Yes!"
……
At the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the maid Shuanghong stumbled into the house and told Xu Jing the news outside.
"hiss!"
Xu Jing's fingers were pricked by the sharp needle tip while she was embroidering, and the beautiful picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water was instantly stained with a pool of bright red blood.
She grabbed Shuanghong and confirmed again and again:
"Are you sure you're talking about Prince Jing?!"
Shuanghong ran all the way here without even catching her breath.
"That's right! I was afraid I had misheard, so I asked again and again. I heard from the people in the palace that the Prince Jing's Mansion has been surrounded by the imperial guards, and everyone in the Prince Jing's Mansion has been imprisoned."
With a snap, the embroidery frame fell to the ground.
"How could this be?"
"How could this happen? Impossible! Impossible!"
Xu Jing's dream was shattered, and her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She grabbed Shuang Hong and said, "Tell me everything from the beginning."
After Shuanghong finished her story, Xu Jing picked up the scissors and stabbed them into the embroidery frame, saying angrily:
"Su Li again! It's her again! Why is she everywhere? She ruined my bright future, and I'm not done with her!"
"Miss!"
Shuanghong looked at Xu Jing, who was filled with grief and anger. Her eyes were bloodshot and her whole body was filled with a terrifying murderous aura. She silently shrank back a step.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Xu Jing suddenly came to her senses, grabbed the overturned embroidery frame, and without saying a word, pulled out the scissors and slashed the almost finished embroidery of the mandarin ducks playing in the water into pieces.
"so far so good!"
Xu Jing looked at the embroidery that was scratched to pieces and suddenly laughed grimly.
"Miss, what's okay?" Shuanghong was puzzled.
"Fortunately, everything is still in time!"
Xu Jing is a shrewd egoist. Even though she was eager to marry Prince Jing and even reached a deal with Concubine Wen, she kept herself clean and did not have any substantial relationship with Prince Jing.
She quickly gathered her composure and pointed to several other embroideries and some personal belongings in the room:
"Bring a brazier and burn all the things that were prepared for the Imperial Concubine and Prince Jing."
She raised her hand to wipe her face and took a deep breath.
It seems that I have to find my next target again.
……
At the General's Mansion, Su Li and Pei Heng accompanied the old lady for dinner. Xi Jie'er, cheerful and cheerful, took the old lady off to play. Huan Ge'er, a rare sight, remained at the old lady's and his sister's side, calm and composed.
Seeing the three of them, young and old, talking and laughing, Su Li finally felt relieved.
After returning to Nanshe, the couple closed the door.
"Fortunately, my grandmother is open-minded. If this happened to an ordinary elderly person, I'm afraid they would not be able to get over it for a while."
Su Li wanted to help Pei Heng take off his outer robe, but Pei Heng grabbed her hand and helped her sit on the couch.
"Madam, you've been tired all day. I'll take care of this little thing myself."
Pei Heng quickly took off his outer robe and threw it aside. The room was warm, and his thin inner garments wrapped around his sturdy body were exposed. He sat down next to Su Li and reached out to help her take off her clothes.
Su Li smiled and said:
"I'm just pregnant, and you won't even let me undress myself. What will I do in the next 7 or 8 months?"
Pei Heng carefully helped her take off her outer robe, held her in his arms and said:
"That's all right. I'm free now and have plenty of time to serve you. From now on, I'll help you dress and support you as you walk. I'll be your feet and your hands."
"Pfft!" Su Li laughed out loud, interlocking her fingers with Pei Heng's, rubbing the calluses on his fingertips and saying, "Are you going to treat me like a piece of trash?"
"Where is the waste?"
Pei Heng looked at her sideways, smiled lovingly and said,
"You are my precious baby."
As he spoke, he leaned forward to kiss Su Li's lips, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Their warm lips intertwined, and Pei Heng felt his whole body warm up. He opened his arms with fiery excitement and was about to attack her.
Just when the two were reluctant to part, suddenly "cough cough!" A dry cough came from outside the door. Nanny Li knocked on the door gently with two bowls of soup in her hand.
Su Li blushed and quickly got up from Pei Heng's arms, pulling up her collar which was a little loose.
Pei Heng sat up straight in embarrassment, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
Nanny Li came in expressionlessly and placed the soup on the table.
She had been holding it in for a whole day and night, thinking of finding an opportunity to remind the lady and the general, but she was too busy at home that day to have any time.
After finally seeing the lady and the general return to their room, he came over with the soup, but he was just a step too late, and the two of them were already cuddling together again.
She folded her hands in front of her and prepared to start a long speech:
"General, even if you want to hit me today, I still have to say this. It's not that I'm taking advantage of my age, but the lady is young and naive, but the general is already old... Hey hey hey!!!"
Nanny Li had just started to speak after she had a lot to say when Songzhi and Songtao rushed in and picked her up and dragged her out.
"What are you doing? I still have a lot to say!"
Songzhi and Songtao dragged her out, saying as they did so:
"Mammy, the young lady has been calling for you since she returned to her room! Why are you hanging out here with her instead of staying with her? Let's go!"
"Ma'am, um..."
Nanny Li had already been dragged away with her mouth covered.
Pei Heng blinked awkwardly.
What is this Madam Li going to do?
Su Li was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to Pei Heng's arms:
"Husband, where were we just now? Keep going!"
