The next day, Bai Li and the others set off very early. After seeing off Bai Li who was crying, Hu Ling'er was a little depressed, so Xia Yihan accompanied her back to the room first.
Pulling Hu Ling'er on the edge of the bed, Xia Yihan gently hugged her, "Ling'er, don't be sad, there is a banquet that will be separated in the world. She has her own life, you should be happy."
"Yes, I should be happy." Hu Ling'er breathed a deep breath. The younger sister finally grew up, had a husband and a child, so even if they were not by her side, she would live a good life.
.”
She doesn't have to worry about Bai Li anymore. What she is worried about now is the demon...
After sleeping yesterday, she seemed to be in a daze to hear a voice calling their names, asking where they were, saying that she missed them very much.
Although the voice was faintly and vague, the intuition told her that this was the demon.
And after waking up in the morning, Bai Li also said that he seemed to have heard such a voice.
Both of them were shocked at that time and agreed that it must be the demon who was calling them somewhere.
This perception made them both excited and excited, and at the same time, the stone that had been in their hearts was also put down. She was fine, as they thought, she was really fine.
Hu Ling'er immediately made a decision and set off to find Yao Xue as soon as possible. She must find her before the child is born.
Xia Yihan knew that Hu Ling'er said that, but she was still reluctant to leave. She patted her shoulder and said, "Ling'er, why don't you lie down for a while."
Because he had chatted with Bai Li too late last night, Hu Ling'er was not full yet, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Xia Yihan helped her lie down, carefully covered her with a quilt, and then kissed her on her forehead: "Sleep well, I'll handle something in the study and see you later."
However, after Jian Xinan left Hu Ling'er's room, he did not walk towards the study, but went straight to Jian Xinan's room.
He paused a little at the door. He was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, but the door was opened from inside.
With all eyes facing each other, both of them were stunned. Jian Xinan smiled first and said, "King Han has something to do with me?"
Xia Yihan nodded and said, "Yes, can you go in and talk?"
Jian Xinan did not answer, but turned around and walked towards the table. After Xia Yihan closed the door, she walked over.
The two sat down at the table, Jian Xinan glanced at Xia Yihan and said carelessly: "If you have something to do, just say it."
Xia Yihan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Do you think Ling'er's body is suitable for traveling far away?"
Jian Xinan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she realized: "Is it Ling'er going to find Yao Xue?"
Jian Xinan's understanding of Hu Ling'er made Xia Yihan feel a little sad, but he nodded and said, "Yes, she wants to find Yao Xue early. This is her greatest hope now, so I think if her health is fine.
If so, take her there.”
Jian Xinan was silent for a moment. According to Hu Ling'er's current body, it was not impossible. After all, after taking her medicine on time, her condition had stabilized a lot. At least she didn't feel any discomfort in the past few days.
But of course the premise is...
Jian Xinan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, but I must stay by her side and pay attention to her physical changes at any time."
Xia Yihan had actually thought of this for a long time. After all, Jian Xinan would stay with Hu Ling'er for her body.
But for a man, he always feels a little depressed. After all, Jian Xinan's feelings for Hu Ling'er are no less than his own.
He did not question Jian Xinan for suddenly pulling Hu Ling'er away last night, but it did not mean that he didn't care.
After pondering for a while, Xia Yihan still said, "Then you prepare for it. Ling'er is very anxious. Maybe she will set off in the next few days, but..."
Xia Yihan paused, her face slightly darkened, her eyes stared straight at Jian Xinan, and continued: "Ling'er and I are all saved by you. We are very grateful to you, but I hope you too
I can understand that Ling'er is now my wife."
"So what?" Jian Xinan's lips curled slightly, and she looked back at Xia Yihan with a meaningless look, her eyes full of fun.
"So I hope you can follow her with a friend's attitude."
"Haha..." Xia Yihan said this, Jian Xinan just smiled lightly, and then said a few words lightly: "What if I say no?"
Jian Xinan's voice was gentle and slow, but after this sentence was finished, the atmosphere in the room was obviously not right.
The invasive chill turned around in the air, and both of them stared at each other tightly, one casually and the other cold, obviously so cold, but it seemed to have a blazing fire.
Xia Yihan's hands hanging under the table tightened and tightened again. Although Jian Xinan still had a smile on her face, there was a hint of unawareness in her smile.
Seeing a storm brewing and erupting...
But at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then Xiang Cheng's voice sounded: "Prince, are you inside?"
Xia Yihan was surprised that Xiang Cheng would find Jian Xinan.
After temporarily putting away his emotions in his heart, Xia Yihan said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Prince, I have something important to repay." Xiang Cheng's voice continued.
Xia Yihan got up and went to open the door. Seeing Xiang Cheng standing outside, her face was anxious.
Xiang Cheng has always been a calm person. No matter how big the matter is, he rarely has a fluctuation in his expression. His abnormality at this moment surprised him even more. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Prince..." Xiang Cheng looked at Jian Xinan in the house, his eyes flashed a little, and his tone became hesitant.
Xia Yihan knew his concerns, looked back, then turned around and said, "Tell me."
Anyway, Jian Xinan already knows almost the same things he should know and things he shouldn't know.
Seeing that Xia Yihan said this, Xiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "When he just went outside, he heard a rumor circulating on the streets of Lingdu, saying yes, saying yes..."
Speaking of this, Xiang Cheng hesitated again, but continued: "It was said that the princess was pregnant, but the child..."
"Stop!" Xia Yihan's face stuttered and interrupted Xiang Cheng's words coldly. Even if he didn't say it, he knew what would be next.
Jian Xinan in the room also stood up after hearing Xiang Cheng's words, and his expression changed drastically.
The chill in Xia Yihan's eyes became stronger and she said in a deep voice to Xiang Cheng: "You go down first."
Xiang Cheng left, Jian Xinan slowly walked to Xia Yihan and said slowly: "This matter will spread, and there must be something strange about it."
There are not many people who know that Hu Ling'er is pregnant, so the right princess and his wife naturally won't say it. Xiao Miao and Min Mo are loyal to Hu Ling'er and will definitely not say it out. Then there is only one person...
Jian Xinan thought of this person, so there was no reason Xia Yihan could not have imagined it.
Looking at the expression on Xia Yihan's face, Jian Xinan curled her lips coldly and said nothing.
Xia Yihan looked at Jian Xinan, knew what he was thinking, and tightened his fists and said coldly: "I will handle this matter well. I'll go out now, and you can protect Ling'er."
After the words finished, Xia Yihan's body flashed and disappeared before Jian Xinan's eyes.
Looking at Xia Yihan's disappearing figure, Jian Xinan's smile that had been hanging on the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared, and her clenched fist pounded on the edge of the door frame with a "bang". "Xia Yihan, you'd better handle this matter well, if it's you
If Ling'er suffers a little harm, I will not let you go."
"Have you heard that? Princess Han is actually pregnant."
"Yeah, I heard that, but isn't it a happy thing for everyone to be pregnant? Our King Han has a queen."
"Haha, Prince Han has a queen? Don't think about it carefully. Our prince and princess have only been married for a few days. How could they get pregnant so soon? And before getting married, the princess was always in Tianyin Kingdom, and the two of them were all the time.
I haven't even seen each other before, so this kid..."
"God, do you mean... Isn't this kid from King Han?"
"Shhh... It's good that you know this in your heart, but don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, it's a death sentence."
The discussion was getting farther and farther away, but Xia Yihan's face, who was standing on the street, became colder and colder.
This matter has spread now, and troubles will surely continue. He wished he could take Hu Ling'er away from this place of trouble immediately, but there was something he had to confirm first.
Thinking of this, Xia Yihan jumped and quickly dashed forward, which was the direction of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
But at this time, an uninvited guest came to Prince Han’s mansion.
Hu Ling'er was still resting on her sleep, but someone heard that there was an imperial edict in the palace.
Hu Ling'er, who was sleepy, was a little puzzled. Wasn't Xia Yihan in the study? He just wanted to pick him up when there was an imperial edict. Why did he have to go there by himself?
Could it be...
Hu Ling'er suddenly looked shocked, and she jumped off the bed, cleaned up in a few seconds, and then left the door.
But when he arrived at the main hall, Xia Yihan was not there, only the eunuch who announced the imperial edict was waiting there.
And for some reason, the servants and girls beside the marquis looked at her with a strange look.
"Where is the prince?" Suppressing the inexplicable in his heart, Hu Ling'er turned around and asked the girl who came to pass the message. The girl just lowered her head and said, "The prince is out."
"Go out?" Hu Ling'er's doubts even more. Didn't he tell him that he was in the study? If he suddenly went out, there was no reason not to tell her.
Did something happen?
While he was puzzled, the eunuch who announced the edict said in ignorance: "Princess Han accepts the edict!"
"Let me accept the order?" Hu Ling'er was stunned and looked at the eunuch with a little surprise, "Dad father-in-law, let's wait until the prince comes back before accepting it."
Unexpectedly, the eunuch just shook his head and said, "No, this is the Queen Mother's decree, I was originally asked to accept it by the princess."
Not the emperor's imperial edict? But the empress dowager's?
He looked suspiciously and narrowed his eyes. Hu Ling'er felt a little uneasy, but she still knelt down to answer the order.
In fact, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything in the imperial edict, but just said that Hu Ling'er would come to the palace to meet her immediately.
Hu Ling'er slept until now and didn't know that the news about her was already circulating outside, but the empress dowager suddenly let her enter the palace and felt very uneasy.
"Princess, please follow the servant." The eunuch lowered his head and respectfully invited Hu Ling'er.
His eyes flashed slightly, and Hu Ling'er smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Turning around and walking out of the main hall, the smile on Hu Ling'er's face disappeared instantly.
It was not strange that the Empress Dowager asked her to enter the palace, but her intuition told her that this matter would definitely not be that simple.
"Ling'er, I think you'd better not go." Jian Xinan's voice sounded in Hu Ling'er's ears. When she looked up, she realized that he was standing in front of her.
It seems that he heard the content of the imperial edict outside just now.
After thinking about it, Hu Ling'er looked back and then whispered: "Xinan, come with me."
The two left quickly, but the servants and girls standing at the door looked at their backs with ambiguous faces. When they walked away, they started to talk quietly:
"What do you think the princess has to do with this young master Jian?"
"Didn't it mean that Mr. Jian was the doctor who treated the illness in Tianyin Kingdom?"
"But I always feel that their relationship is not simple?"
"Shh, how can you talk nonsense about this? But isn't there any rumor outside that the princess was pregnant before she married our prince? Could it be..."
"I can't say it, I can't say it, this matter will be dead."
“…”
In the room, Hu Ling'er closed the door and said to Jian Xinan: "Nan, what do you think the Empress Dowager suddenly came to me?"
Jian Xinan hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but Hu Ling'er continued: "And I always feel that the eyes of the servants looking at me are a little strange. Also, do you know where Xia Yihan suddenly went?"
Hu Ling'er has always been very sensitive to her mind, Jian Xinan knew about this, and even if he didn't say it, she would know it immediately.
Thinking of this, Jian Xinan grabbed Hu Ling'er's hand, patted the back of her hand and said, "Ling'er, I think the Queen Mother is looking for you, it must be because of the rumors outside."
"Rumor?" Hu Ling'er glared at her, looking inexplicably: "What rumor?"
As soon as she asked, she seemed to remember something, "Is it..."
