Chapter 138 He can’t even keep up with a hot meal (1st update)
Tuoba Tong subconsciously touched his belly and glanced at the palace maid lightly, "I understand, you can go down first."
The palace maid lowered her eyebrows and looked down upon her eyes.
"promise!"
Only Tuoba Tong and his personal maid were left in the inner hall.
"Help me go in."
Tuoba Tong looked around with phoenix eyes and stood up slowly.
The palace maid said nothing and helped Tuoba Tong into the inner hall.
Tuoba Tong walked to the couch, touched the edge of the couch with her delicate hands, pressed it lightly, and a hidden grid popped out.
Inside the secret compartment, there was a red bottle lying suddenly.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Tuoba Tong's eyes, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he held the bottle in his hand.
"Qing'er, tell me, do I..."
"Empress, even though Your Majesty loves you so much, the little prince's surname is Su, not Tuoba."
Qing'er noticed Tuoba Tong's hesitation and said hurriedly.
Tuoba Tong lowered his eyes.
It is true that Qing'er is her personal maid, but she is also controlled by the Gu Master. Although the two have had a master-servant relationship for many years, the thing Tuoba Tong distrusts the most is the human heart.
In her opinion, no matter how deep the friendship is, it is not as good as her own life.
Tuoba Tong put aside the deep thoughts in his eyes, raised his head to look at Qing'er, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, I am just thinking about how to implement the plan. The child in my belly..."
Tuoba Tong touched his belly and said, "I must not be able to keep it."
Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, just be clear. Our lives are now in the master's hands. Please don't do anything stupid."
After finishing speaking, Qing'er realized that what she said seemed to be a bit too much. She raised her head suddenly and did not miss the cold light flashing in Tuoba Tong's eyes. She was shocked and fell to her knees with a plop.
"You talk too much, please forgive me!"
Tuoba Tong raised his hand and said warmly: "You are just reminding me to fulfill my duties, so why are you guilty?"
Qing'er stood up.
"Thank you, empress."
"Qing'er, you have been with me for more than ten years. This time, if I can complete the mission and return to Tuoba Kingdom, I will definitely ask my father to point you to a good family, so that you will have no food and clothing for the rest of your life.
worry."
Tuoba Tong gently stroked his belly that was not yet visible and said softly.
Qing'er was overjoyed and knelt down again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Qing'er will definitely assist your Majesty and complete the mission!"
"Um."

The little guy had just woken up and couldn't eat too nutritious or spicy food. He simply drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and was coaxed by Su Yijun to fall asleep again.
Su Xuanyan glanced at Su Yijun who was sitting by the couch, and then at Zhen Rao who was sitting beside him. He always felt that something was not right in the atmosphere.
"that……"
Su Xuanyan lowered his voice, "You've all been taking care of her all day, why don't you go and take a rest first, and I'll take care of Jiu'er tonight."
When Su Yijun heard this, he glanced at Zhen Rao subconsciously.
"Rao'er... you go and rest first."
This sudden affectionate address not only stunned Zhen Rao, but also shocked Su Xuanyan.
Such a warm voice and thoughtful words suddenly came out of my royal brother's mouth, and it felt so out of place.
After that conversation in the gazebo, Su Xuanyan was completely relieved. Although he still cared subconsciously, he also knew that he would never have another chance.
"Yes, Sister-in-law, you are not in good health, so you should rest early. If anything happens, we will call you."
This was the first time that Su Xuanyan called her like this.
Zhen Rao looked deeply at Su Xuanyan, with a slight smile on her lips, "Okay."
Su Yijun's narrow eyes flashed slightly and he said no more.
Seeing Zhen Rao leaving, Su Xuanyan looked at Su Yijun again, "Brother Emperor, you haven't had a good rest for a few days. If you continue to stay up like this day and night, you will get sick again before Jiu'er recovers."
, then, my dear brother, I will leave my job alone."
Although the tone was teasing, there was a bit of worry and concern in the narrow eyes that were very similar to Su Yijun's.
Su Yijun chuckled and did not answer, but changed the topic.
"Now that I've let it go, it's time to find someone who knows what's going on."
The smile on Su Xuanyan's face froze, and he subconsciously took out the folding fan at his waist, opened it silently, and covered his face.
"Brother Emperor, I'm still young..."
Su Yijun:......
"Yes, Yun Qing is almost an adult, are you still young?" Su Yijun raised his eyebrows frivolously, looked Su Xuanyan up and down, and showed a look of realization, "Oh, I see, that is indeed quite young."
Su Xuanyan:......
"Brother Imperial, I don't want to get married yet."
After the jokes between the men, the barriers that had existed for many years seemed to disappear in the conversation and laughter. Su Xuanyan put down the folding fan and said helplessly.
"If you don't want to, don't marry me. I'm just saying that, and I'm not forcing you." Su Yijun pulled up the quilt for the villain, "Then Jiu'er will be left to you."
Su Xuanyan immediately became serious, put away the folding fan and tapped his palm lightly, "Okay."
Su Yijun stood up and left.
Su Xuanyan heard the sound of the door closing and cautiously came to the couch. He lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping little man, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Little girl."

After a night and a few more pills, Su Jiu's fever completely subsided.
Weiyang Palace.
"You little guy, you really scared us all."
Su Jingqin held the little man in her arms, holding a spoon in her hand, and fed the little man medicine.
The villain's whole little face wrinkled up in pain, "Fourth sister, it's so painful!"
"I don't feel sorry for you, fourth sister." Su Jingqin looked at the little man who was so lively and active now, but still had lingering fears about what happened that day, "Let's see if you, little girl, dare to eat randomly in the future."
Su Jiu was detained in Weiyang Palace these days, not allowed to go anywhere, and had to drink such bitter medicine every day.
The little man chirps.
“Never eat edamame again!”
Huang Ying pushed the door open and came in. When she heard the villain's milky voice and complaints, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Princess, the fifth prince just sent a message, saying that he was delayed by something on the way and may have to visit you later."
Su Jiu finally finished the medicine. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "What happened to fifth brother?"
"This servant doesn't know this either. The fifth prince's letter only said this." After saying that, Huang Ying handed the letter to the villain.
Su Jiu took it and looked at it. It was indeed not Su Lixun's handwriting. There were only a few strokes on it and no explanation was given.
"Do you miss him that much?"
Su Jingqin was a bit apprehensive.
The fifth emperor brother said well, go and come back quickly, but this little girl has recovered, and he hasn't come back yet. Now he has written a letter directly, saying that he won't come back if he doesn't come back.
"What do you want him to do? If something happens to you, he won't even be able to get a warm meal."
