To prepare a birthday gift for the emperor, shredded lotus root stems were far from enough. He also needed other things. Su Tang wrote down what he needed one by one and asked Chen Qing to buy them all.
After finishing the work, Banxia came in and said, "Prince Princess, the bath water is ready."
Su Tang rarely bathed during the day, but today she went to the palace and went to Xinwang's Mansion, and she sweated a lot. She couldn't even sleep well without taking a bath.
After soaking in the tub for a quarter of an hour, my whole body felt refreshed and I didn't sleep too soundly.
When she woke up, it was almost evening. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Boting sitting beside the bed. She didn't know what he was looking at and didn't realize that she had woken up.
Su Tang stood up and saw what Xie Boting was holding, her eyes widened suddenly, "Why is this jade pendant in your hand?"
Jasper lotus jade pendant.
It was the missing piece of Zhao Yan that she wanted to see.
Su Tang didn't believe this was a coincidence, so she quickly asked, "Is there any engraving on the back of the jade pendant?"
Xie Boting handed the jade pendant to Su Tang. Su Tang couldn't wait to turn it over and saw the small words on the back of the jade pendant: July 18th.
Although Su Tang was convinced in his heart that he was right, when he saw the jade pendant, his heart was still in turmoil.
Xie Boting's eyes were gray and unpredictable. Su Tang looked at him. Xie Boting then replied to Su Tang's previous question, "I just returned home, and my father's secret guard gave me this jade pendant."
The secret guard and Chen Qing squatted in Chenxiang Pavilion, and then went to Youxiang Mansion to squat for a long time, knowing that Xie Boting and Su Tang were determined to see this jade pendant.
Today, Chen Qing sent Su Tang to the palace. The secret guard went to the study room of Tianxiangyuan on the order of the prince to get the book. When passing by the garden, he happened to see Zhao Yan wearing this jade pendant. At that time, his hands were faster than his brain and he picked it off casually.
A leaf flew past, and the jade pendant was cut off and fell into the grass.
After Zhao Yan and the maid left, the secret guard picked up the jade pendant. The secret guard wanted to give it to Su Tang personally, but the prince gave him a temporary task, so the secret guard handed the jade pendant to the secret guard guarding the study.
Tell him to hand it over to Xie Boting.
Su Tang didn't expect that the prince would know that she and Xie Boting asked Chen Qing to find a way to see the jade pendant. She moved her eyes away from the jade pendant, looked at Xie Boting and said, "Do you want to tell your father about this?"
Xie Boting said, "This matter needs further investigation."
"What are you checking?" Su Tang had just woken up, his head was still confused and he didn't react at all.
"When the imperial doctor who checked her pulse was killed in the street, was it an accident or was he silenced?"
Xie Baiting didn't say it clearly, but his intention was very clear. He wanted to find out whether Xie Baiyan was happy to be a father.
The imperial physician who diagnosed Zhao Yan's Ximai pulse was pushed in the street on his way back to the palace, hit a stone pillar, and died on the spot. I didn't think much about it before, I just thought that the imperial physician was unlucky, especially Zhao Yan.
Yan still felt very sorry in her heart. She had to stay in bed to rest due to fetal convulsions.
Besides, I didn't forget to ask her to prepare more condolence gifts. Now that we know that Zhao Yan and the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty are related, people have to wonder who the seed in her belly belongs to. If it belongs to the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty, then the month will be
No, the imperial doctor was most likely murdered and silenced.
This guess made Su Tang shudder.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant with the son-in-law's child...
If Master Nankang finds out, he will be furious right there?
When Xie Wei was married as a substitute, after this was revealed, the prince strongly opposed Xie Rou's participation in the sedan chair. At that time, Princess Nankang was shaken. Finally, because of Zhao Yan's encouragement, Princess Nankang was firm again.
If what Zhao Yan is carrying is really the son of Song Guogong's son, Xie Rou's marriage will become a talisman for her and her unborn child.
