Chapter 160

After returning to the mansion, it was already evening.

Jiang Li didn't go back to the yard directly, but went to the Wanfeng hall. This time, when she went to the state government, old lady Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai were very confused, so they specially waited for her in the Wanfeng hall. Seeing that she came back safe and sound, her expression was no big deal, and she was very calm, so she was relieved.

"Pear girl, have you ever seen anyone when you went to the government house today? What have you done in the government house? Did general Ji say why he invited you to the banquet alone?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

"Today, at the birthday banquet of the old general of the government, there were not only me, but also fiveorsix people, but they were all strangers, and they didn't seem to be Yanjing official family. There were men and women, probably the old general's old friends." Jiang Li's face doesn't change when he talks nonsense, Continue: "After dinner, the old general asked me about my riding and shooting. Probably after learning about my performance in the six arts school examination, I thought I was proficient in this and curious about me, so I specially invited me to attend. Then I chatted with several young ladies in the afternoon and came back in the evening. It seemed that it was just an ordinary family dinner, nothing special. As for why I was invited alone, it was really inconvenient to ask, and the old general didn't have it either Say. "

Her answer also couldn't find anything wrong. Old lady Jiang and Yuanbai looked at each other, and they had nothing to ask each other. There is a question. Looking at Jiang Li's appearance, I just went to have a meal and didn't know anything. I should also be unable to answer.

Jiang Yuanbai said, "in that case, go back and have a rest."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "father, I heard them talking about the current situation at the birthday banquet of the government today. Recently, Yanjing city may not be peaceful, father... And be ready."

Jiang Yuanbai said, "what do you mean by that?"

"I really don't know the details. They won't say too much at the banquet. That's what I tried to find out." Jiang Li Dao. With these words, she saluted Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang and went back to her yard.

After Jiang Li left, old lady Jiang asked, "Yuan Bai, what did the second girl mean just now?"

Jiang Yuanbai's face was heavy: "I'm afraid King Cheng is going to make an action."

"The Jiang family... Do you want to avoid the sharp edge and leave Beijing temporarily?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Jiang Yuanbai smiled wryly, "Mom, at this juncture, even if I want to go, I can't go. I can only harden my scalp in this position. I just hope the emperor is not unprepared for this battle... There is still a chance."

Mrs. Jiang sighed again. In this situation, even though they were the family members of the first Fu University, they seemed to have unlimited scenery, but in fact they were just ants of power. What can we do if we become a king and lose the enemy, and we have to bleed since ancient times? Just this action, Cheng Wang's action, the emperor's counterattack, I don't know how Yan capital will flow into a river of blood, and how many families will be separated.

At the other end, Jiang Li returned to the yard.

Tong'er and Bai Xue are busy cleaning up, but she sits in the room, with her eyebrows full of worries. After thinking about it, I still mentioned this with Jiang Yuanbai. Although in Jiang Li's view, the battle of King Cheng is likely to lose, but the Jiang family is in the forefront of the storm, who knows if something will happen. Now she is in the Jiang family, and they should complement each other. If something happens to the Jiang family, it won't do her any good.

Moreover, although the yuan family once wronged Miss Jiang ER and had such a poisonous woman as Ji shuran, she now relies on the yuan family for her porridge, food, clothing and daily life. If Miss Jiang Er is here, she doesn't want her family to be destroyed. If we can make Jiang Yuanbai ready in advance, maybe the next thing will be less trouble.

As for Jiang Youyao, Jiang Li is also ready to accept Ji Heng's suggestion and will not tell Jiang Yuanbai for the time being. Just look at what's going on at Li Lian's end first. Jiang Youyao should have a hard time. If she finds a way to take her back to the house now, she will not thank the yuan family. Maybe she will think that the yuan family deliberately separated her and Li Lian. Such a white eyed wolf can't say when it will bite the yuan family. It's better to throw her to Li Lian now, and the yuan family can be quiet.

Even if Li Lian wants to know something secret about the Jiang family from Jiang Youyao, it is impossible. You know, Jiang Youyao doesn't care about everything except herself at all, so Li Lian is doomed to return in vain if she wants to inquire about anything.

Jiang Li is most nervous about Princess Yongning now.

According to Ji Heng, Princess Yongning has a pregnant image now. I don't know if she found out by herself. Once Princess Yongning finds out that she is pregnant, the next thing she wants to do is to talk to Shen Yurong. For Shen Yurong, this is not a good thing. As for how things will develop next, Jiang Li is looking forward to it.

She can't wait to look at these two people's ugly faces.

……

In the princess's mansion, a faint incense was burning in the room. The thread fragrance is thin, and the smoke curling up is also thin. The fragrance is like jasmine, which is very pleasant.

Princess Yongning has always liked the rich and warm aroma, and the faint incense is almost invisible in the princess's mansion. But in recent days, Princess Yongning is always very tired and can't cheer up. Especially, she has no appetite for anything. She always feels stuffy in her chest and is prone to vomiting. The rich fragrance made her uncomfortable, and the incense in the princess's house was all replaced by this light one.

But even the faint incense, Princess Yongning did not feel very good. She leaned on the soft collapse, looked wan, and her always delicate makeup was careless, showing a bit haggard. The skin is not as white as usual, some waxy yellow.

"Princess, Doctor Zhang will come soon." Mei Xiang gently pressed her shoulder for Princess Yongning and said with a smile, "when Doctor Zhang comes, I'll prescribe two prescriptions for you. The maid grabbed the medicine and fried it for you to take, so it won't be so uncomfortable."

Princess Yongning gave a feeble "hum". She didn't know when she had such an uncomfortable scene. When she thought about it, it was about after Shen Ruyun's wedding banquet. But she didn't do anything that day. As usual, she got the opportunity to obsess with Shen Yurong, and there was nothing else. Why did you feel very uncomfortable after returning to the princess's house? It's been several days, and there's no improvement at all. There was really no way, so let Mei Xiang take the token and ask doctor Zhang to show it to her.

Thinking of this, she complained about Shen Yurong. Clearly, she had been told by people around her that she was not in good health these days, but Shen Yurong didn't come to see her. Although knowing that the affairs in the court are busy, Shen Yurong's heart is not without her if he doesn't pay attention to himself so much.

These complaints accumulated in her heart, which made Princess Yongning more and more uncomfortable. I only feel headache, hand pain, leg pain, even toes pain.

In the evening, the sky darkened very quickly, and soon, it became dark. A strong wind blew in Yanjing city at night. The servant girls were afraid that Princess Yongning would feel stuffy, so they opened the windows of the princess's house. As soon as it was opened, the wind rushed in impatiently, blowing out half the candles in the hall, and the paper and pens on the table flew everywhere, blowing the vase upside down.

Princess Yongning looked more upset, and when she was about to punish someone, Mei Xiang trotted in, followed by an old man in a pine green cotton coat, and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Zhang is here."

Zhang Taiyi is a doctor who is familiar with Princess Yongning in the Tai hospital. Princess Yongning has a headache on weekdays, and she likes to directly let Zhang Taiyi come to the house to show herself. At this moment, seeing that Doctor Zhang finally came, he reluctantly refreshed himself, sat up straight, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Doctor Zhang, my palace has always been very uncomfortable recently, and I can't say the specific things. I always feel weak, very tired, have a bad appetite, and always feel sick. Sometimes I fall asleep in the afternoon and wake up in the middle of the night. Show me what the problem is?"

Hearing this, Zhang Taiyi was stunned, and her face suddenly gave birth to a look of surprise. Princess Yongning saw that he was just standing in place, and did not feel his pulse. She immediately said impatiently, "Zhang Taiyi, what are you waiting to do? Feel the pulse for the palace!"

Doctor Zhang regained consciousness, reluctantly smiled and said, "don't panic, your highness. I'll take your Highness's pulse now."

He put his hand on Princess Yongning's wrist and carefully felt the pulse.

In fact, time didn't last long, but Zhang Taiyi's face suddenly turned white in a moment. Not only that, his forehead began to exude cold sweat gradually, even his hands were a little hairy.

Seeing that the pulse taking time was too long, Princess Yongning frowned and scolded, "Doctor Zhang, what's the matter? Why didn't you move?"

Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand and stood up. He didn't dare to look at Princess Yongning. He bowed his head and hesitated, and his voice began to tremble. "Your Highness, I, I'm willing to be wrong. Your highness might as well ask another wise person to see what's the reason for your highness?"

The more he said so, the more suspicious Princess Yongning was. Princess Yongning said, "in the imperial hospital, this palace only trusts you. Doctor Zhang, what's the matter with this palace? Just say it, otherwise, this palace will cure you of deception!"

Zhang Taiyi was startled and hurriedly knelt down. A man of a certain age could not stop being confused in his voice, as if he were going to cry the next moment. He said, "spare your life, your highness Royal Highness Princess! Spare your life, your highness Royal Highness Princess! Your highness... I'm afraid you're pregnant!"

Pregnant! Like a thunderbolt, it suddenly hit her head. Princess Yongning was surprised and almost didn't return to her senses.

"How dare you speak nonsense in front of your highness! Drag it down!" Mei Xiang reacted very quickly and immediately ordered.

"I dare not talk nonsense, your highness, spare your life!" Doctor Zhang couldn't stop kowtowing, and his voice was sad.

Princess Yongning frowned, as if she finally understood the meaning of this sentence. Looking at Doctor Zhang, she suddenly asked, "what you said is true?"

Doctor Zhang shouted hurriedly, "I dare not talk nonsense."

"Look at this day. How long has it been?" Princess Yongning asked.

Doctor Zhang was sweating, but he dared not not answer Princess Yongning's words and said, "it should be less than a month."

"Less than a month..." Princess Yongning murmured. If you count, the time is very appropriate. During this period, she and Shen Yurong met only a few times. But what she didn't understand was that every time she used avocado, Shen Yurong was very careful in this regard. Of course, Princess Yongning is also unwilling to get pregnant before marriage. Even if the customs of Beiyan are open again, this kind of thing is also a disgrace to ordinary people.

But I didn't expect that even so, I was still pregnant with Shen Yurong's child.

Princess Yongning's hand involuntarily touched her abdomen.

Seeing this, Mei Xiang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, are you going to..." she didn't say anything. Princess Yongning turned to her and asked, "what are you going to do?"

Mei Xiangna said, "are you going to keep the child?"

Hearing this, Princess Yongning slapped her fiercely and hit Mei Xiang on the head. She said in a harsh voice, "the child in the belly of this palace can accommodate a bitch of yours?"

Zhang Taiyi, who was kneeling on the ground, was still shaking with fear before he got up. Mei Xiang also knelt on the ground. Five finger prints were clearly reflected on her face, but she didn't notice it, Still said, "Your Highness's bones and flesh grow day by day. After all, you can't hide it. If it's seen by the emperor, if it's seen by outsiders, I'm afraid you can't explain clearly. Your highness is full of pity for that person. If it happens, the Emperor and others will not give up. If it's found that it's that person's bones and flesh, the official career of that person is afraid to be destroyed, and your highness will certainly feel distressed."

Because Zhang Taiyi was here, Mei Xiang didn't dare to say Shen Yurong's name, but replaced it with "that person". This word is about Princess Yongning's heart. The child grows up day by day, and his stomach can't hide it. If the emperor finds out about this matter, he must investigate it. Finally, he finds that it is Shen Yurong's flesh and blood, and Shen Yurong's career is over. Although for Princess Yongning, Shen Yurong was an official or not, she didn't care. But shenyurong himself will not be happy. Shenyurong is not happy, and Princess Yongning will not be happy.

She suddenly felt headache.

"But this is me and his children..." Princess Yongning said, and her eyes flashed a look similar to kindness and tenderness. Like a kind mother, looking forward to the emergence of a new life.

This is the child of her and Shen Yurong. This alone gives Princess Yongning countless reasons not to abandon her. This may be a son or a daughter. Maybe his eyes look like Shen Yurong, maybe his mouth looks like himself. When I grow up in the future, I will call Shen Yurong a father and myself a mother. This is evidence of her deep love with Shen Yurong. No matter what, she will not abandon the child.

"I'll keep him." This sentence, Princess Yongning said categorically. Mei Xiang and Zhang Taiyi, who were kneeling on the ground, were surprised at the same time, and did not speak.

"As for what to do next, it's not urgent. It's still less than a month now, and others can't see it. The top priority is to raise my child. Now people are unpredictable, and there are countless people who want to harm my child, so I have to protect him." Princess Yongning said.

Mei Xiang said, "maidservant will protect your highness."

Princess Yongning nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Doctor Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, and a chill flashed in her eyes. She said, "Doctor Zhang is also working hard today, Mei Xiang, take Doctor Zhang down and invite him to have a cup of tea before leaving."

Mei Xiang understood, and Zhang Taiyi wanted to beg for mercy. She only heard Princess Yongning laugh, "Zhang Taiyi doesn't have to worry. Don't leave until you finish tea. Your wife and son won't care about the time of a cup of tea."

When Zhang Taiyi heard the words, his body suddenly shook, and his eyes dimmed. He stopped talking and followed Mei Xiang out of his mind.

Calm returned to the hall.

The smile on Princess Yongning's face disappeared. Although she hoped very much to keep the child, Mei Xiang's words also reached her ears. It was really not a way to go on like this. Should I tell Shen Yurong about this? I'm afraid I can't. If Shen Yurong knew about this, he would definitely persuade her not to have this child. These days, he has said more than once that when it comes to the cusp of the storm, don't be caught, and keep a distance. If you have children, don't you put the blame on others.

For himself, he always has a way. No matter how determined he is, he will finally be moved by his tenderness, and then his intention. But this time, Princess Yongning didn't intend to listen to Shen Yurong's wishes. She must keep the child.

How can we find a way to expose this matter in a fair way and let the children stay? This child cannot be born without a father. He must call Shen Yurong his father.

Princess Yongning suddenly moved in her heart. Yes, the child must have a father, and the father can only be Shen Yurong. As long as you marry Shen Yurong when others can't see it, and then find a reason to say it's premature, you can make this matter aboveboard, can't you?

But it is not easy to marry Shen Yurong in a very short time. Princess Yongning did not intend to discuss with Shen Yurong, because Shen Yurong would definitely raise doubts, and she could not tell Shen Yurong that she was pregnant. She plans to go into the palace to see Princess Liu early tomorrow morning and ask her to persuade the emperor to marry her.

In any case, this matter cannot fail.

……

In the night of Yanjing City, several families were happy and worried. Some people were happy and complicated for their bones and flesh, while others were nervous about their future.

The right Prime Minister Li's residence is very exquisite and luxurious. The right prime minister has been in power for many years, especially in recent years, and his position in the middle of the court has become more and more stable. On weekdays, there are not a few people who give gifts. Many gifts they give have not seen, and they are thrown into the warehouse together with the list. I heard that the storehouse on the right prime minister's residence was even fuller than the national treasury, but no one knew whether it was rumor or true.

There is already a yard in the west, which is much quieter than other yards. There are only three or two servant girls sweeping, but the yard is quite clean. In the room, a person was sitting at the table. She was holding a book in her hand, but she inadvertently opened it and looked out of the window in a daze.

This woman is young and lovely. She is none other than Jiang Youyao, the third Miss Jiang who fled from the Jiang and Li families.

It has been a long time since Jiang Youyao came to Li mansion. On that day, she escaped from the Jiang family and wanted to go to the Ji family, but who knew that on the eve of the lunar new year, she also met bandits in the street. Those bandits saw that she was a girl, so they not only grabbed her package, but also wanted to do something with her. Just when Jiang Youyao felt desperate, a handsome young childe appeared like a supernatural soldier. He asked his entourage to drive away the bandits and picked up Jiang Youyao. Seeing that Jiang Youyao was trembling and speechless, he took Jiang Youyao back to the house, cleaned it and told her not to be afraid.

In fact, when Jiang Youyao was rescued, she recognized who the childe was. It's Li Lian, the second son of the Youxiang Li family. Generally speaking, Jiang Youyao should not have any disputes with the Li family. You should know that the Li family and the Jiang family are sworn enemies. But somehow, she didn't refuse Li Lian's move to take her back to the house. Maybe it's because she hated the yuan family for killing her mother, ignored herself, and wanted to get the yuan family angry like revenge. Maybe it's because she is really desperate now and doesn't know who to rely on. Or maybe it's because the second young master Li looks too gentle and doesn't look like the cunning man his father said. It's easy to believe that someone treats him gently in such a difficult time.

She followed Li Lian back to the Li mansion. After washing her face, Li Lian also recognized her. With a horizontal heart, Jiang Youyao told Li Lian about her grievances in the Jiang family these days. She had to come and leave home. She also hoped that Li Lian would not tell others about her stay in the Li family. Being known by the Jiang family, she wanted to catch herself back.

Li Lian is a person who shows pity for her and seems to have moved her with compassion. Sure enough, he didn't tell Li Zhongnan about it. He divided a place in his yard to Jiang Youyao, who lives here on weekdays. She can't go out, otherwise she will be seen. Jiang Youyao can only walk around the yard, and she has to be careful not to be seen by others in the Li family. After a long time, I naturally feel bored and bored.

Besides these servants, the only person she can see every day is Li Lian.

The longer she spent with Li Lian, the more Jiang Youyao felt that Li Lian was a good person. He was gentle and considerate, and he knew his heart very well. Several times, Jiang Youyao couldn't help but talk to him. Later... After having a deeper relationship with Li Lian, Jiang Youyao was also afraid at first. She escaped from the yuan family, and for a while she still thought about her identity as the first daughter. If this matter was spread, she was afraid that she would embarrass the yuan family.

But Li Lian told Jiang Youyao, "if you don't want to go back, you don't have to go back. It's up to you to say that Jiang Fu is harsh with you, and you don't want to stay in our house. I'll find an identity for you when I talk, and you can be with me in a fair way for the rest of your life."

Jiang Youyao is very useful.

Commitment is a sincere cash withdrawal. Zhou Yanbang has been unwilling to give her a commitment, which made her wait for many years, and finally married someone else, which really made her very sad. Now there is a person who can take the initiative to comfort her pain, and Jiang Youyao naturally cannot resist it.

She also thought that in the future, for example, Li Lian's wife could only be a young lady of a high-ranking family. No matter how powerful he is, he can't be the daughter of any high-ranking family to find an identity for himself. She stayed next to Li Lian, nameless, at most, a concubine. But how can Jiang Youyao be willing to be a concubine?

But even if she is still the third miss of the Jiang family, it is impossible for her to become a couple with Li Lian, because the Li family and the Jiang family have never been the same, not one day or two.

Although the days with Li Lian were happy, she couldn't see the future at a glance. Even so, Jiang Youyao was still determined to leave him. Because leaving Li Lian, she may not be better off. It's better to seize the moment and be happy first. As for the future, think about it later.

Feeling that she had been sitting for a long time, Jiang Youyao stood up and thought of walking in the yard. The servant girls are doing their own things. These servant girls don't know whether they recognize her identity or not. In fact, Jiang Youyao is not very satisfied with them. Sometimes she sighs. She brought out the golden flowers and silver flowers when she knew it. In the end, it's the person who followed her since childhood. It's also easy to use. And the master of these servant girls is Li Lian, who is respectful to Li Lian, but she is not very warm to Jiang Youyao.

Most importantly, the servant girls in Li Lian's yard are all beautiful, and yingyingyanyan's is very annoying. Jiang Youyao sometimes can't help thinking that Li Lian puts all these servant girls in the yard for her convenience. She also hinted in front of Li Lian, but Li Lian was so good at coaxing people that she forgot her original intention and stopped asking questions.

Jiang Youyao walked to the side of the yard and couldn't help looking up at the yard on the other side.

Next to it is the yard of Li Xian, the eldest son of Li. Li Xian doesn't often go back to his mansion. I heard that he is busy on official business. Jiang Youyao has heard that Li Zhongnan's two sons, Li Xian, are much more praised than Li Lian. He has a successful career since he was young. He is also very talented and handsome. Compared with Li Lian, he seems to be more self-contained. At such an old age, I have never heard of his bad habits.

Jiang Youyao glanced around the yard.

The biggest difference between Li Xian's yard and Li Lian's yard is about the people who serve. The servant girls in Li Lian's yard are all charming, but Li Xian hasn't seen any servant girls in the yard. There are many boys, but they are younger. It seems that they are all twelve or thirteen year old teenagers. Even once, Jiang Youyao saw an eight or nine year old child. Jiang Youyao didn't understand why these boys were so young that it wouldn't be inconvenient to serve them? But anyone who runs a leg and carries a heavy object or something can't do well because they are still young boys.

She also asked Li Lian this question. Li Lian always smiled and shook her head, saying that those children were orphans without parents. Li Xian saw that they were poor, so he sent these children to his house to be servants. On the surface, being a servant can actually give them a bite of food. When they grow up, they can also serve the family.

Hearing this, Jiang Youyao still muttered in her heart. It seems that this eldest childe Li is kind-hearted and a great good man. She can even think of such a circuitous way to think of them.

She withdrew her eyes and walked back. She couldn't help sighing in her heart, but this eldest son Li was also very picky. These young boys in the yard were born very beautiful. If you didn't know what kind of character Li Xian is, you would think that he likes men's sleeveless like the Duke of Su Guo, who has a special hobby.

Childe Li is a pedophile. It's disgusting!
