Chapter 456: Bad News (1)
During the years of his absence, Huan'er had other people around her!
After realizing this fact, Wen Shichu's heart began to ache violently, and he couldn't help but ask himself questions.
Who is the man who took Huan'er away?
Wen Shichu touched the jade pot in his purse, thinking over and over again in his mind: Why was he one step late again?
After Zhen Huan's joy, she suddenly realized that there was a stranger in the room, and she pleaded in a low voice in embarrassment.
"Brother Shichu, can you keep this secret for Huan'er?"
Wen Shichu raised his head and looked directly into her eyes, his voice trembling slightly:
"Whose child is this in your belly?"
Zhen Huan lowered her head in silence. Once Yunli returned, they might meet again one day.
But at this moment she did not want to reveal the true identity of the child's Ama.
Wen Shichu knew Zhen Huan's personality. She had been like this since she was a child when she encountered something she didn't want to talk about.
He remembered the large green robe hanging on a bamboo pole that he saw when he entered the room, and asked tentatively.
"Is that man Prince Guo?"
In Wen Shichu's memory, only the prince who often went in and out of the palace and preferred green clothes could be associated with this robe.
What's more, he had heard that it was Prince Guo who rescued Huan'er at Princess Wen Yi's first birthday party.
Zhen Huan didn't expect Wen Shichu to be so perceptive and guess the truth at once.
Yunli took Ajin away without leaving any manpower behind.
Considering that the baby in her belly still needed Wen Shichu's care, she nodded slowly.
After getting the answer, Wen Shichu's mind went blank and he blurted out:
"Huan'er, are you crazy? The prince is also a member of the royal family, he..."
Zhen Huan knew what he was going to say and quickly interrupted him.
"Brother Shichu, I asked to leave the palace because I was already disappointed in love. It was the prince who gave me hope."
"Although they are brothers, their personalities are very different. One made my growth painful, while the prince took care of me like a little girl."
"Brother Shichu, Huan'er is living a happy life now."
Wen Shichu was stunned for a long time and couldn't say anything.
After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty.
"I can take a day off in ten days. I'll come to see you then."
"What's missing from the summit? Ask Aunt Jinxi to tell me... I lost my composure. With the prince watching over us, there's no way anything could be missing."
After Wen Shichu finished speaking, he fled from Lingyun Peak.
While the two of them were talking in the room, Cui Jinxi and Bai Zhi were guarding the door.
Therefore, neither of them missed the news that Zhen Huan was pregnant. After Wen Shichu rushed out, Cui Jinxi went into the room and congratulated Zhen Huan.
"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master! If the Prince knew you were pregnant, he would surely rush to your side as fast as he could."
Bai Zhi was also saying auspicious words. Her smiling eyes kept scanning Zhen Huan's abdomen, and she was thinking in her heart how to pass this news back.
Zhen Huan gently touched her flat belly and gave her gentle advice.
"The child is less than a month old, so don't tell anyone yet."
"Master, rest assured. I know the importance of keeping this matter secret. You can tell the prince in person when the time comes."
Bai Zhi laughed and joked.
Zhen Huan was pregnant, and Cui Jinxi kept a close eye on her.
Late at night, Jiyun from Anqi Temple entered Concubine Shu's room with a small note.
"Your Majesty, Zhen is pregnant, and the baby is less than a month old."
"Well, that's good news indeed."
Concubine Shu threw a book aside and asked with a serious face.
"The doctor we prepared hasn't even set foot on Lingyun Peak yet. Who diagnosed Zhen with pregnancy?"
"Your Majesty, Wen Shichu, an old acquaintance of Madam Zhen's, went up the mountain to visit her. On the way, he happened to meet Bai Zhi who had come down to ask for a doctor's help. That's when he accidentally discovered that she was pregnant."
Jiyun knew very well that the Concubine Dowager looked down on Zhen Huan, so he did not hide anything for her.
"That's fine. Spread the news and let Yunli prepare."
"And that maid named Dongmei sent by Ye Lanyi is an eyesore. Find a chance to kick her out."
"By the way, send a message to Doctor Gou, asking him to get rid of Ye Lanyi's unborn child as soon as possible."
"Yes, my wife, I understand."
Under the cover of darkness, the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard in Anqi Temple.
Three days later, Wen Shichu was reporting to Yu Ying'er about the recent situation of Yong'an Beile when Li Yu hurried in from outside and reported with a nervous look on his face.
"Concubine, Dongxue, who is beside Concubine Ye, has sent a message saying that her mistress has lost her baby after hearing the tragic news of Prince Guo's tragic death in a foreign land. Please go and save her."
"What?!" Yu Ying'er was shocked when she heard that. "I'll go right away!"
Ye Lanyi was one of the few people she could talk to, and Yu Ying'er didn't have a close relationship with the other female members of the family, so she hadn't received any valuable information recently.
Prince Guo is the emperor's most beloved brother. If she goes to take care of Ye Lan'yi, she will definitely be able to find out some inside information.
Yu Ying'er left in such a hurry that she didn't even notice Wen Shichu who was stunned beside her.
Wen Shichu, who was standing in the flower hall, changed his expression when he learned the sad news that Prince Guo had died in a foreign land. He went straight to the stable, selected a fast horse, and galloped towards Lingyun Peak.
The howling of wild beasts continued to be heard in the mountains. Cui Jinxi, who had rested early, was surprised to see Wen Shichu sweating profusely.
"Doctor Wen, what are you doing..."
