Chapter 339
He didn't go to wash until Yun Dai finished washing.
The two were lying side by side on the bed talking.
They seem to have a lot to say in their hearts, but they seem to have nothing to say. Just lying quietly like this, feeling the warmth of the charcoal fire, my heart is already peaceful and joyful enough.
"Could be my daughter." Zhao Yuanjing's gentle voice reached Yun Dai's ears.
Yun Dai smiled silently: "Not necessarily."
Zhao Yuanjing turned over and lay on his side, facing her, and said, "Yan'er is going to be an older brother."
"Bring Yan'er back tomorrow, okay? I haven't seen him for a few days, I really miss him."
"Naturally, we can't leave it with the Queen Mother all the time." Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while, "Actually, if Yan'er can always be kept by the Queen Mother's side, it will be of great benefit to him."
"What good?"
"Children who are raised by the Queen Mother are always more distinguished than other children." Zhao Yuanjing said, "Like when I was a child, after the Queen Mother was gone, they were also raised by the Queen Mother."
"That's why you can be the prince?"
"Although not all of them, there are some reasons." Zhao Yuanjing smiled, "If you have great expectations for Yan'er, you can try it."
"I don't want it." Yun Dai refused without hesitation, "It's best for the child to be raised by the mother's side. You couldn't help it when you were young, I lived a good life, and I don't want Yan'er to be so pitiful."
Zhao Yuanjing leaned over and kissed her: "I knew you were reluctant, so just talk about it."
"This time, you and the emperor are very stiff."
"It's okay, you take good care of your baby, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing." Zhao Yuanjing put his arms around her, "Close your eyes, and sleep well. If you don't want to sleep, my daughter still wants to sleep."
Yun Dai leaned on his arm, smelling the breath from his body, and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, the news of Yun Dai's pregnancy spread.
After Chen Xueyan in the cold palace found out, she felt hopeless.
His Highness has been back for such a long time, but he hasn't even glanced at her.
He doesn't have her in his heart.
Not at all.
Lian Ping's face was ashen, and she walked in from the outside with a trembling voice: "My lord..."
Chen Xueyan sat by the window and turned to look at her blankly.
Lian Ping threw herself in front of her and knelt down, crying, "Something happened to the Duke's Mansion!"
"I know." Chen Xueyan looked indifferent.
"Just now, the maidservant was going to get the meal, and I heard some court ladies commenting that our Duke... committed suicide!" Lian Ping cried out.
Chen Xueyan's body trembled, her lips trembling.
"Impossible, my father is a hero in the world and famous throughout his life. How could he commit suicide?" Chen Xueyan stood up suddenly, slapped her on the face, and shouted sharply, "Which dog slave dares to make such rumors Why don't you beat her to death with sticks!"
Lian Ping knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
Her family members are also servants of the Duke's Mansion. When the Duke's Mansion is over, so are her parents and sisters.
"Little master, please be sober, it's all true!" Lian Ping hugged her leg and cried, "There are many criminal evidences in the Duke's mansion, and the emperor is angry. Now that the Duke is gone, madam and Shi Ziye and the others can only count on you, my lord!"
"Counting on me?" Chen Xueyan laughed, and then laughed again.
She pointed around and said, "Have you seen Lian Ping, this is the cold palace. I can't protect myself, how can I help them?"
"Little master, as long as you are alive, there is hope for everything!" Lian Ping persuaded with tears, "That Gu Yundai, what does she have? She just gave birth to the emperor's grandson, and now she is pregnant again, so she was promoted to heaven. Little master, you can't give up!"
