Chapter 127 Discovering the person behind the scenes
Xiao Ling raised her hand and smoothed the broken hair on her forehead, then her eyes suddenly tightened, and there were obvious tears on her face.
Then, his eyes fell on the pillow beside him. Through the moonlight, he could see a dark color on the pillow, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Did she cry?
Is it because it really hurts?
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ling reached out his hand and placed it gently on Yuan Dai's belly.
The sudden source of heat made Yuan Dai's frown instantly relax a bit.
In the second half of the night, Yuan Dai felt much more comfortable, as if there was a warm baby on her belly, and the cramping pain was relieved a lot.
When Yuan Dai woke up again, it was already the second day, and her lower abdomen was still hurting slightly, but it was much better than the heartbreaking pain on the first day.
"Mother, are you awake?"
"The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has been prepared. Please drink it quickly."
"Yes." Yuan Dai took the medicine from Qiushi's hand, resisting the bitterness, and after drinking it in one gulp, she said, "Did anyone come here yesterday?"
Qiushi shook her head, "No."
But why, she always feels like someone came yesterday?
The warmth coming from my lower abdomen was like... someone covering it with their hands.
Then Yuan Dai quickly laughed at herself, what was she thinking? Xiao Ling was in Zhao Li's bedroom yesterday, so why did she come over to cover her belly?
After drinking the medicine, Yuan Dai fell asleep again and did not wake up again until noon.
"My dear, why don't we go out for a walk? Staying in the palace will only make me feel more uncomfortable."
Yuan Dai nodded, "Then let's go out for a walk."
Qiushi put a thick cloak on Yuan Dai. Winter has come recently, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent fabrics and cloaks to various palaces. As a queen, Yuan Dai naturally gets the best things.
The cloak has a stand-up collar, and is a brighter red color than the clothes Yuan Dai usually wears, which makes her look more elegant. The wide cloak covers Yuan Dai's whole body, making Yuan Dai's figure appear stronger.
The hair is petite.
Yuan Dai and Qiushi went out together. Although it wasn't snowing, the cold wind outside still hurt people's faces. Fortunately, the cloak had a good thermal insulation effect. Yuan Dai felt warm when wearing it.
The two of them walked around for a while, and suddenly saw a kitten in the grass nearby. The kitten was probably only a few months old. It meowed softly and sweetly, which made Yuan Dai feel nervous. She was worried about stray cats.
It is very difficult to survive the winter. If you are not careful, you will die.
It would be fine if she hadn't met him. Now that he had met her, Yuan Dai still planned to take the cat back and raise it.
Yuan Dai bent down and approached the cat cautiously, but wild stray cats were extra vigilant and ran away as soon as they spotted Yuan Dai.
Yuan Dai said "Hey" and quickly chased after him.
In just a blink of an eye, the kitten ran away without knowing where it was.
She searched the nearby grass all the way, and while she was searching, Yuan Dai heard a familiar voice in her ears.
"Is this really possible?"
Yuan Dai frowned, subconsciously looked up and saw Zhao Li talking to a man behind the rockery.
"Of course it will work. You just need to do as I say. You don't need to ask any questions about the rest."
The man's voice sounded inexplicably familiar, but I just couldn't remember who it was.
Yuan Dai's heart tightened.
Could it be that...the man Zhao Li was talking to was the man behind the scenes?
She hurriedly hid behind the rockery, and then cautiously poked her head out a little to take a peek at the man's face.
It is also important for her to know the person behind this.
Because in the novel, the person behind the scenes is targeting the Eastern European countries, and one of the steps is to bring down Yuan Wu, who is the general of the country, and even kill her father. Can Yuan Dai endure it?
Even if she wants to escape, she must kill the person behind it first.
She poked her head out, and the man's face gradually appeared in her sight. When she saw the man's face clearly, Yuan Dai's pupils could not help but shrink suddenly, and her heart was filled with shock.
This, this person turned out to be Zhao Ge!
It turned out to be Zhao Ge. Isn't he Xiao Ling's biological uncle? How could he be the person behind the attack on Xiao Ling?
Probably because she was too shocked, Yuan Dai didn't pay attention to her steps and accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, making a "click" sound.
The sound was not loud, but it was heard by the two people in the rockery.
"who?"
Zhao Ge's voice sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps walking this way.
Yuan Dai hid under the tree outside the rockery, her heart suddenly lifted into her throat, and her mind went blank.
What to do, what to do.
Just when Yuan Dai was at a loss what to do, the little stray cat that had just disappeared appeared out of nowhere, swooped over, and then let out a clear "meow". Only then did Zhao Ge's footsteps come over.
disappear.
"It turned out to be a cat. We made too much fuss."
"It's always good to be vigilant."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Dai sneaked away again until she was far away from the rockery, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Empress, where did you go just now?" Qiushi asked.
"I just chased a stray cat. You will ask the palace servants to come over and look for it later. If you find an orange kitten, bring it to my palace."
"My slave knows."
Yuan Dai then returned to the palace, and the kitten was also found by the servants. Yuan Dai fed the cat some food, and then made a small nest. The Samoyed also noticed the arrival of the new member. Fortunately, the two
The two little guys got along quite harmoniously. Not only did the Samoyed not reject the new kitten, he even gently licked the kitten's fur.
Yuan Dai stroked the little kitten's head and said, "Thanks to you just now, otherwise I would have been discovered."
As if the kitten understood what she said, it nuzzled Yuan Dai's palm obediently, and then said "meow".
Yuan Dai fell into deep thought while stroking the kitten's head.
What did Zhao Ge and Zhao Li plan just now?
No... He's going to attack her father, right?
The more Yuan Dai thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility. Because of her existence, the relationship between Zhao Li and Xiao Ling did not develop like in the novel, and the other party was a spy sent by Eastern Europe.
If there is no progress, naturally he can't wait to attack Yuan Wu.
