All the copied property was counted and recorded in the account books. Huangfu Lingfeng and Lu Ming led the imperial guards to carry the loot into the palace to report to the emperor. After a busy night, Yun Zishu finally returned home with Leng Yue and Leng Shuang.
Before he entered the door, he saw Sicang. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing inside the door dressed in casual clothes. His posture was upright and majestic, but his eyes were gentle, hiding a bit of pain.
Yun Zishu paused slightly, then stepped through the door: "How long have you been waiting?"
"It didn't take long." Sicang stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders, "I just came back too."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Sit in Nansheng Pavilion all night?"
"Well, I don't dare to disturb His Highness from doing his business." Sicang's voice was low, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Yun Zishu's tone was calm: "The emperor asked me last night if I had any thoughts about your visit to the brothel."
Sicang's expression slightly condensed, and then his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly: "He deliberately sows discord?"
Yun Zishu took a step back and looked him up and down: "You stayed in Nansheng Pavilion all night, didn't you get any messy smell on your body?"
"No." Si Cang said, and quickly took her into his arms again, "I have already taken a simple bath."
The corners of Yun Zishu's lips raised: "You're pretty good."
Si Cang's expression paused, and then he picked her up and said, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is so intimidating, how can I dare to do anything?"
He walked in front with Yun Zishu in his arms, followed by Leng Shuang and Leng Yue. Although it was commonplace, his expressions at this time were still a bit subtle.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks majestic outside and can make people break out in cold sweats with just one look in his eyes. However, in front of the Crown Princess, he can display this henpecked look with ease. He is truly the best example of a husband in the world.
Back at Qifeng Hall, Si Cang ordered someone to prepare hot water, and then sent a medical girl over. She took Yun Zishu's pulse carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, she finally felt relieved after worrying about it all night.
"Drink some warm water." Sicang brought a glass of water to her, "Eat something later and get some sleep early. I see there are shadows under your eyes."
After hearing this, Yun Zishu stood up and walked to the bronze mirror to take a look. Sure enough, the shadows under her eyes looked quite heavy: "Women really can't stay up late, otherwise they will age quickly."
As she spoke, she turned back to the bed and sat down to rest for a while. The maids outside came in one after another. Some were carrying basins to wash themselves, and some were carrying flower baskets and put freshly picked petals into the bath.
After changing clothes and washing up, and sitting in front of the dressing table to take off hairpins, Yun Zishu shed all her fatigue and said, "Political achievements are indeed not easy to accumulate. I feel like I am smelling of money."
Sicang came over, looked at Yun Zishu in the mirror, lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "What does silver smell like?"
"Maybe it's the smell of copper that those who claim to be noble say." Yun Zishu leaned against him lazily, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money piled together, including gold, silver, and jade.
, antiques, books, this official of the Ministry of Personnel is really doing a good job."
Sicang said: "With so much wealth, Your Highness is not tempted?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I have a firm heart and will not be compromised by gold or silver."
"The Crown Princess has a noble nature, and her subordinates admire her greatly." Leng Yue walked in and said with a smile, "Faced with the temptation of so many gold and silver treasures, who can resist the temptation?"
"Are you excited?"
Leng Yue smiled and said, "This subordinate is not an ordinary person."
The corner of Yun Zishu's mouth twitched, and then she nodded in agreement: "The people in the Prince's Mansion are not ordinary people."
After breakfast, Si Cang raised his hand and dismissed all the maids, and waited for Yun Zishu to take a bath alone. She was pregnant now and it was inconvenient to take a bath, so she could only sit on the edge of the pool. Si Cang gave her a bath from head to toe.
Clean thoroughly.
"If those ministers saw this scene, they would be scared to death."
Yun Zishu soaked her feet in the water, and the warm water warmed her whole body... Well, it's summer now, and the weather is already hot, so sweating all over her body is normal.
"People who have never seen the world always like to make a fuss." Si Cang said calmly, "Shu'er doesn't need to care about what other people think."
Yun Zishu looked strange: "No one else can see this scene, what should I care about?"
Who else dares to spy on the affairs of the prince and the princess's boudoir?
Sicang: "..."
"But speaking of never seeing the world, I, the Crown Princess, have really seen the world tonight." Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "Fortunately, she didn't lose her composure and reacted as usual from beginning to end. She seemed to regard money as such.
The indifference of dung.”
Sicang raised the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness the Crown Princess is mighty."
The bathing ended quickly, and the two of them remained at home to catch up on their sleep, regardless of the commotion outside.
"Fu Nanchuan is back too." Sicang leaned on the bedside, holding Yun Zishu in his arms, enjoying a moment of silence, "King Cheng will not sit still and wait for death."
Yun Zishu's voice was leisurely: "Of course he doesn't want to sit still and wait for death, but the plan arranged by Fu Nanchuan is not just what he wants."
Si Cang said: "Shu'er has so much confidence in Fu Nanchuan?"
"I have confidence in you." Yun Zishu corrected, "His Royal Highness knows people well and knows how to employ them. There is nothing to say."
Si Cang's eyebrows were gentle and he couldn't help but hug her into his arms: "Shu'er is so good at coaxing people?"
Yun Zishu patted his head: "Don't act like a spoiled brat. You are already an adult man. You must maintain a calm and calm image."
Si Cang laughed: "Go to sleep."
Pregnancy is hard work, and you have been busy all night, so you need a good sleep most at this time.
The couple closed the door and slept as much as they could, ignoring the anxious ministers in the court, especially the officials who had close contacts with Mr. Wang, who were all terrified of being implicated and afraid of settling accounts later in the year.
After leaving the court, King Cheng was not interested in court affairs. He found an excuse and hurriedly left the palace and returned to the palace. He summoned all the spies and secret guards in the palace: "Go out immediately to inquire and find out where the prison car that escorted Feng Zhiyuan has gone."
, if you have the chance to silence him, you must silence them all!"
"yes!"
Almost all the masters of the palace were mobilized, and the commotion was so loud that Princess Cheng felt a sense of foreboding: "Your Majesty, what's going on? What happened? Could it be that the Crown Prince also..."
"I was careless." King Cheng stood at the door of the hall, looking at the sky with heavy eyes, "It doesn't matter whether the prince's assassination is true or not, but the plan must be true."
Princess Cheng was startled: "What, what do you mean?"
"The prince has been doing a lot of things secretly during these days of recuperation." King Cheng said in a cold tone, "Everyone has fixed their eyes on the prince's mansion, eager to know whether the prince is alive or dead, and whether he will die without treatment.
If something unexpected happens, who can win this opportunity... Driven by power, we have all ignored his true purpose."
The prince really has a deep mind, it's hard not to admire him.
