The next day, Bai Li and the others set off very early. After sending Bai Li away who was crying, Hu Ling'er felt a little depressed, so Xia Yihan accompanied her back to the room first.
Pulling Hu Ling'er to sit by the bed, Xia Yihan hugged her gently, "Ling'er, don't be sad, there is always a banquet in the world. She has a life of her own, and you should be happy."
"Yes, I should be happy." Hu Linger took a deep breath. This sister finally grew up, had a husband, and had children, so even if they are not with her, she will live a good life.
.”
She doesn't have to worry about Bai Li, she is worried about Yao'er now...
After falling asleep yesterday, she seemed to hear a voice calling their names in a daze, asking where they were and saying that she missed them so much.
Although the voice was vague and vague, her intuition told her that it belonged to Yao'er.
And after waking up in the morning, Bai Li also said that he seemed to hear such a sound.
At that time, both of them were shocked and agreed that Yao'er must be calling them somewhere.
This realization made them excited and excited. At the same time, the stone they had been holding in their hearts was relieved. She was fine. As they thought, she was really fine.
Hu Ling'er immediately made up her mind and set off to find Yao Xue as soon as possible. She must find her before the child was born.
Xia Yihan knew that even though Hu Ling'er said this, she was still very reluctant to give up. He patted her shoulder and said, "Ling'er, why don't you lie down for a while."
Because she and Bai Li chatted too late last night, Hu Ling'er was indeed not yet full of sleep, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Xia Yihan helped her lie down, covered her with a quilt carefully, and then placed a kiss on her forehead: "Sleep well, I'll take care of some things in the study, and I'll see you later."
However, after Jian Xinan left Hu Ling'er's room, she did not walk towards the study, but went straight to Jian Xinan's room.
He paused for a moment at the door of the room. He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the door was opened from the inside.
Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned. It was Jian Xinan who smiled first and said, "Prince Han, do you have something to do with me?"
Xia Yihan nodded and said, "Yes, can we go in and talk?"
Jian Xinan didn't answer, but turned around and walked towards the table. After Xia Yihan closed the door, she also walked over.
The two sat down at the table. Jian Xinan glanced sideways at Xia Yihan and said casually: "Just tell me if you have anything to do."
Xia Yihan hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Do you think Ling'er's body is suitable for a long journey?"
Jian Xinan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then it became clear: "Is Ling'er going to find Yao Xue?"
Jian Xinan's understanding of Hu Ling'er made Xia Yihan feel a little sore, but she still nodded and said: "Yes, she wants to find Yao Xue as soon as possible. This is her biggest hope now, so I think if her health is okay
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 no longer felt any discomfort in the past few days.
But of course the premise is...
Jian Xinan raised her handsome eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "Yes, but I must stay by her side and pay attention to her physical changes at all times."
Regarding this point, Xia Yihan had actually thought of it for a long time. After all, Jian Xinan would stay with Hu Ling'er for her body.
But for a man, there is always a little bit of depression in his heart. After all, Jian Xinan's feelings for Hu Ling'er are no less than her own.
He didn't blame Jian Xinan for suddenly pulling Hu Ling'er away last night, but that didn't mean he didn't care.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yihan finally said: "Then prepare yourself. Ling'er is very anxious and may leave in the next few days, but..."
Xia Yihan paused for a moment, her face darkened slightly, her eyes stared straight at Jian Xinan, and continued: "You saved my life and Ling'er's, and we are very grateful to you, but I also hope that you
I understand, Ling'er is now my wife."
"So?" Jian Xinan's lips curled up slightly, and she looked back at Xia Yihan with a meaningless expression, her eyes full of interest.
"So I hope you can pay attention to her as a friend."
"Haha..." After hearing what Xia Yihan said, Jian Xinan just smiled softly, and then said a few words lightly: "What if I say no?"
Jian Xinan's voice was gentle and slow, but after saying these words, the atmosphere in the room was obviously not right.
A penetrating chill swirled in the air, and both of them stared at each other closely, one casually, the other coldly, obviously so cold, but yet they seemed to have a blazing fire.
Xia Yihan's hand hanging under the table tightened and then tightened, and although Jian Xinan was still smiling, there was an imperceptible chill in her smile.
Seeing a storm brewing and breaking out...
But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and then Xiang Cheng's voice sounded: "My lord, are you in there?"
Xiang Cheng actually found Jian Xinan, which surprised Xia Yihan.
Temporarily putting away her emotions, Xia Yihan said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Xiang Cheng's voice continued.
Xia Yihan stood up and went over to open the door, and saw Xiang Cheng standing outside, looking anxious.
Xiang Cheng has always been a calm person, and his expression rarely fluctuates no matter how big things happen. The abnormality at this time made him even more surprised. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty..." Xiang Cheng looked at Jian Xinan in the room, his eyes flickered a little, and his tone became hesitant.
Xia Yihan knew his concerns, looked back, then turned around and said, "Go ahead."
Anyway, Jian Xinan already knew most of what she should know and what she shouldn't know.
Seeing what Xia Yihan had said, Xiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "When I went outside just now, I heard a rumor that was spreading throughout the streets of Lingdu. It was said to be, it was said to be..."
At this point, Xiang Cheng hesitated again, but continued: "It is said that the princess is pregnant, but the child..."
"Shut up!" Xia Yihan's face froze, and he interrupted Xiang Cheng's words coldly. Even if he didn't say anything, he already knew what was coming next.
Jian Xinan in the room also stood up suddenly after hearing Xiang Cheng's words, and her expression changed drastically.
The chill in Xia Yihan's eyes became even stronger, and she said solemnly to Xiang Cheng, "You go down first."
Xiang Cheng left, Jian Xinan walked slowly to Xia Yihan's side, and said slowly: "This matter will spread, and there must be something fishy in it."
There are only a few people who know that Hu Ling'er is pregnant. Naturally, the Right Prime Minister and his wife won't tell anyone. Xiaomiao and Min Mo are loyal to Hu Ling'er and will definitely not tell anyone. Then there is only one other person...
Jian Xinan thought of this person, so Xia Yihan had no reason to think of him.
Looking at the expression on Xia Yihan's face, Jian Xinan curled her lips coldly and said nothing more.
Xia Yihan looked at Jian Xinan and knew what he was thinking. He tightened his fists and said coldly: "I will handle this matter. I'm going out now. You can protect Ling'er."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yihan disappeared from Jian Xinan's eyes.
Seeing Xia Yihan's disappearing figure, the smile that had been hanging on Jian Xinan's lips suddenly disappeared, and she banged her clenched fist on the edge of the door frame, "Xia Yihan, you'd better handle this matter well. If you
If Ling'er is harmed even a little bit, I won't let you go."
"Have you heard? Princess Han is actually pregnant."
"Yeah, I heard about it, but isn't it something that everyone is happy when the princess is pregnant? Our King Han has a daughter."
"Haha, King Han has a wife? Don't you think about it carefully, our prince and princess have only been married for a few days, how could they get pregnant so soon? And the princess has been in Tianyin Kingdom before the wedding, and the two of them
I have never even met him, so this child..."
"God, do you mean...this child doesn't belong to Prince Han?"
"Shhh... it's good that you know this in your heart, but don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, it will be a death penalty."
The discussion was getting further and further away, but Xia Yihan's face, standing on the street, was getting colder and colder.
Now that this matter has spread, troublesome things will definitely continue one after another. He can't wait to take Hu Ling'er away from this place of right and wrong immediately, but there is one thing that he must confirm first.
Thinking of this, Xia Yihan jumped up and quickly dodged forward, which was the direction of Zuo Xiangfu.
But at this time, an uninvited guest came to Prince Han's palace.
Hu Ling'er was still catching up on her sleep when she heard someone coming to report that there was an imperial edict coming from the palace.
The sleepy Hu Ling'er was a little confused, wasn't Xia Yihan in the study? When the imperial edict came, he could just pick it up. Why should he go by himself?
Could it be...
Hu Ling'er suddenly became shocked, jumped off the bed, tidied up a few times, and walked out of the room.
But when he came to the main hall, Xia Yihan was not there. Only the eunuch who announced the decree was waiting there.
And for some reason, the attendants and girls standing by looked at her a little strangely.
"Where is the prince?" Suppressing the confusion in her heart, Hu Ling'er turned around and asked the girl who came to deliver the message. The girl just lowered her head and said: "The prince is out."
"Going out?" Hu Ling'er was even more confused. Didn't he tell her that he was in the study? If he went out suddenly, there was no reason not to tell her.
Did something happen?
In the midst of confusion, the eunuch who announced the decree suddenly said: "Princess Han accepts the decree!"
"You want me to accept the order?" Hu Ling'er was startled and looked at the eunuch with a little surprise, "Father-in-law, it's better to wait until the prince comes back before accepting the order."
Unexpectedly, the eunuch just shook his head and said: "No, this is the Queen Mother's decree. You were originally asked to accept it, Princess."
Isn’t it the emperor’s imperial edict? But is it the empress dowager’s?
Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, Hu Ling'er felt a little uneasy, but she still knelt down to receive the order.
In fact, the Queen Mother didn't say anything in her decree, she just said that she wanted Hu Ling'er to enter the palace immediately to meet her.
Hu Ling'er had been sleeping until now and didn't know the news about her that was already spreading wildly outside, but the Queen Mother suddenly let her enter the palace, which still made her feel very uneasy.
"Princess, please follow this servant." The eunuch lowered his head and respectfully invited Hu Ling'er.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and Hu Ling'er smiled and said, "Okay, father-in-law, please wait a moment while I go change my clothes."
Turning around and walking out of the main hall, the smile on Hu Ling'er's face disappeared instantly.
Originally, it was not strange for the Queen Mother to let her enter the palace, but her intuition told her that it would definitely not be that simple.
"Ling'er, I think you should not go." Jian Xinan's voice rang in Hu Ling'er's ears. When she looked up, she realized that he was standing in front of her.
It seems that he just heard the content of that decree outside.
After thinking for a while, Hu Ling'er looked back, and then whispered: "Xinan, come with me."
The two people left quickly, but several attendants and girls standing at the door looked at their backs with ambiguous expressions. When they walked away, they started talking quietly:
"What is the relationship between the princess and Mr. Jian?"
"Didn't you say that Mr. Jian was the doctor who treated the princess when she was in Tianyin Kingdom?"
"But I always feel that their relationship is not simple?"
"Shh, how can you talk nonsense about this? But aren't there rumors that the princess was pregnant before she married our prince? Could it be that..."
"You can't say it, you can't say it, it will kill people."
"..."
In the room, Hu Ling'er closed the door and said to Jian Xinan: "Nan, what do you think is going on when the Queen Mother suddenly comes to me?"
Jian Xinan hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Hu Ling'er continued: "And I always feel that the way those servants look at me is a little strange. Also, do you know where Xia Yihan went suddenly?"
Hu Linger's mind has always been very sensitive, Jian Xinan knew this, and even if he didn't say anything, she would know it right away.
Thinking of this, Jian Xinan took Hu Ling'er's hand, patted the back of her hand and said: "Ling'er, I think the Queen Mother came to you because of the rumors outside."
"Rumors?" Hu Ling'er stared, confused: "What rumors?"
As soon as she asked, she seemed to remember something, "Could it be..."
