Xie Songhua almost saw Lan Tian roll his eyes and fainted, but he couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
The guy had been in his hands for so long, but he didn't give out any key information. He was like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Moreover, he was extremely confident in his abilities and seemed not to worry at all that he would not be able to escape.
Well now, I finally met my nemesis.
From this point of view, Xie Songhua is really grateful to Xie Qionghua for his bold actions.
She believed that the Gu pills circulating in the capital were absolutely inseparable from this person, but she didn't know which level of seniority he belonged to.
From the princes and nobles to the common people, no one knows how many people have eaten the poison pills he released.
And some of them are addictive. I don’t know how many people survive when they can’t buy these things, and how many terrible things happen at home.
Thinking of this, it was impossible for Xie Songhua to have any sympathy for Lan Tian.
But at the same time, there are also people who are grateful to Lantian.
For example, Zhao Yuechan was enjoying the benefits of Zhongqing Dan at this time.
Even the Crown Princess was very surprised that Zhao Yuechan actually gained the Prince's love.
When the prince came to visit her, she mentioned it unintentionally, "I used to think that Yue'er was noisy, and His Highness often said that she was not stable enough.
Now it seems that we really need to have such a lively temperament in the palace. When His Highness came in to the harem, there was a lot more smiles on his face."
When the prince heard this, he glanced at the princess and said with a faint smile: "It seems that Gu has been to Yue'er too many times recently, making the princess jealous?"
Zhao Mingxi was shocked, but his face didn't show any signs of it. Instead, he said coquettishly: "Your Highness, please don't give this hat to me casually.
Now that I'm pregnant, someone has already said behind my back that I, the Crown Princess, don't care about anything, and you still say that to me, which makes me even more embarrassed."
The prince then frowned and said, "Have any unpleasant words reached your ears recently? What did they say?"
Zhao Mingxi sighed quietly, "Your Highness likes Yue'er, how could I be jealous? Yue'er is my sister, and I have watched her grow up since I was a child.
In the past, I was only worried that her temper would make His Highness unhappy and make mistakes. I almost never expected that His Highness would really like her one day.
Now that she has cleared the air, how could I not be happy for her?
A concubine is not a girl from an ordinary family, nor is she a mistress of an ordinary family. Mistresses of ordinary wealthy families must be careful not to be jealous.
As a Crown Princess, how can I forget this? Your Highness is the future Emperor, and your duty as a Crown Princess is to manage the harem for His Highness."
She said with a long sigh, "I always hope that His Highness will be happy and that our Ciqing Palace will be peaceful and harmonious. The best thing is to help His Highness flourish as soon as possible."
The prince was slightly moved when he mentioned this. After so many years of marriage, the prince also knew very well what kind of person Zhao Mingxi was.
Although the couple is not exactly in love, they still share the same love and respect each other as if they were guests.
Whether it's the former Empress Zhao or the current concubines in the palace.
The prince asked himself that besides Zhao Mingxi, he could not find anyone more suitable for this position than her.
So after hearing Zhao Mingxi's words, his eyes became a little gentler. He looked at his wife in front of him and said with a smile: "I have always seen your intentions. What you said just now was just intentional.
That’s all.”
Only then did Zhao Mingxi feel relieved.
She has been learning how to be a princess since she was in elementary school, so she naturally knows what kind of character can be exposed and what kind of thoughts should be hidden.
What I said just now was only half and half.
Where are the women who really don’t care if their husbands dote on other women? Where are the women who are really not jealous?
It's just that these emotions don't seem to be that important to Daye, so she can tolerate them.
If you regard the man in front of you as the goal that you want to conquer in your life, and the reward of the goal is your own supreme glory, and the glory of your family, then what else is impossible to endure?
Therefore, playing your role to perfection is the most important thing.
A perfect princess cannot be jealous of others.
It is impossible to make the prince even a little suspicious, it would be a dereliction of duty.
After she relaxed slightly, she smiled again and said: "It's just that although His Highness doted on Jiang Liangdi in the past, he only spent a third of his time sleeping in her courtyard in a month.
But now His Highness spends the night in Yue'er's yard for another twenty days. I won't say anything more, but the other sisters will inevitably have objections.
Naturally, I dare not express this opinion to His Highness. If there is someone to take responsibility for it, it can only be Concubine. After all, Concubine herself has the responsibility of admonishing His Highness."
Hearing this, the prince's brows furrowed, "Who is so ignorant? You are pregnant now, and even the orphans try their best to tell you not to worry about too many things, but they have nothing to do all day long.
I have nothing to do, so I can tell you all these things."
The Crown Princess quickly said: "Your Highness, speaking of it, it is just because the palace is lonely and the sisters have no place to talk."
"How unbecoming is this!" The prince did not listen to her words at all and frowned directly, "If they say something in front of you next time, just ask them to go to Gu's place to say it."
After saying that, without waiting for the Crown Princess to speak, he directly ordered the maid in front of her, "This is Gu's order. If anyone else talks nonsense in front of your master next time, report directly to Gu."
Seeing that he had really delivered the goods, Zhao Mingxi said helplessly: "I just said this to make His Highness so unhappy. If I had known that I would not have said it."
The prince lightly tapped her forehead and said, "You have worked so hard in the palace for so many years. Now you can relax a little bit with the help of pregnancy. You don't know how to relax for yourself. There are so many women in the palace, and all of them are tired."
It’s troublesome, and it’s your fault.”
When he said this, there was a bit more tenderness and pity in his tone, "I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. I will have lunch at your place later. I will accompany you to the imperial garden in the afternoon! Listen to the imperial doctor.
Say, can you go out for a walk properly at this time?"
Zhao Mingxi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, although the relationship between the couple was not bad.
But according to the rules of the palace, after becoming pregnant, no matter who you are, you can no longer serve the prince.
Even if she is a princess.
Unless the prince himself wants to stay.
Therefore, for such a long time, although the prince often came to visit Zhao Mingxi, he rarely stayed.
Since we have spent the whole afternoon here, we naturally have to be together in the evening.
The couple could finally spend a normal and uneventful day.
This is also a rare and warm moment for Zhao Mingxi.
The maids in the palace naturally understood their master's thoughts. Although they did not dare to show the expressions on their faces too obviously, they all had smiles on their faces.
Several palace maids have begun to consider whether to change the flowers and plants in the yard.
In addition, some of them went to the small kitchen. Since the prince is here, the food he eats will naturally be different from usual.
Zhao Mingxi is a pregnant woman, and the food she eats is light, but when the prince is here, she has to cook a few dishes specially for him.
It was a busy time when an announcement came from outside.
"Concubine Zhao has arrived."
People inside and outside the room were stunned, their hand movements couldn't help but paused, and then they glanced at each other, their faces looking a little uncomfortable.
But Zhao Yuechan came over in bright clothes. Before she even got to the house, laughter came, "Sister, do you feel better today? I ate a dessert yesterday. It was really good. I specially made it so early in the morning.
It’s stewed, isn’t it, and I’m sending it to my sister!”
