The black clothed man avoided the whip once again. Xiao Die shouted: "Where are you bringing our princess?"
The black-clothed person was startled and said, "A girl?"
Before Xiao Die could reply, the person rolled over the baby and said: "Granny, it's really a girl, I'll return it to you." After he finished speaking, he threw the baby away. Xiao Die hurried over to catch it, and when she caught the baby, the person had already disappeared.
Leng Qiyue was awakened and asked: "Xiao Die, what happened?"
Xiao Die quickly carried the child and sat on the bedside: "Empress, just now there was a masked man dressed in black who came to snatch the child, and I beat him away. Strangely enough, he ran off on his own when he heard it was a princess. "
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, then said: "It's really strange, who can snatch children?" She held the child in her arms. This fellow was still sleeping, yet he hadn't woken up even after so much torture.
Leng Qiyue said: "Don't spread the news, we'll just wait and see. In the future, just be more careful."
"But won't the Empress tell the Emperor?" Xiao Die was still very worried.
Leng Qiyue replied with a question, "Has the Emperor ever come before?"
With a single question, Xiao Die became speechless. She had not come even once.
Leng Qiyue snorted and said: "This heartless man, I have misjudged him."
Xiao Die lowered her head in sadness, she didn't know how to persuade them otherwise either.
The next day, early in the morning, someone sent congratulatory gifts, but they were all sent by the palace maids, and none of the lords came.
Xiao Die said angrily: "These people are too snobbish, they are probably rushing over to curry favor with Xu Han and Liu."
Leng Qiyue smiled faintly: "Forget it, ignore them."
"Mufei, I already have a sister, right?" Niu Jun and Princess Xiaoxiao were inseparable, so they ran in together.
Leng Qiyue laughed: "Yes, Niu Jun, come take a look, this is your sister."
The young man was lying on the bed, looking at the little princess with a face full of joy and curiosity. Princess Xiaoxiao was also curious about this little life.
Seeing the harmonious situation the children were in, Leng Qiyue was more or less comforted in her heart.
The first visitor in Moonlight Palace was Bai Lan, he brought a lot of supplements.
Leng Qiyue laughed: Where did you get all these weird things?
Bai Lan laughed: "Originally, I wanted to go and catch a Snowy Poria Cocos, it's a pity that I don't have time, I could only get something else as compensation."
Leng Qiyue smiled slightly and said: "Thank you."
Bai Lan said somewhat uncomfortably: "Don't say that, I am the child's uncle, it is only right that I do such things. Has the Emperor come before? "
Leng Qiyue shook her head and did not say a word.
Dongfang Haotian stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "I'll go get him now."
Leng Qiyue could not be stopped. She understood Bai Lan's character, but she was a little worried that the two of them would argue.
Bai Lan wasn't able to find Dongfang Haotian when he reached Reclining Dragon Palace, so he turned to the Mascot Palace. As expected, he was there, hugging Han Liu and joking.
Bai Lan stepped forward and said: "This subject greets Your Majesty."
Dongfang Haotian looked at him and asked: "What's the matter?"
Bai Lan said: "noble concubine has given birth to the Little Princess for you, why don't you go and take a look at them?"
Dongfang Haotian didn't say anything, but Han Liu laughed: "Aiyo, the princess is the emperor's, the emperor isn't in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for? When outsiders see it, they will think that it's your child! "
Bai Lan fumed and said: Don't speak nonsense, noble concubine is clean and proper, you are not allowed to slander her.
Dongfang Haotian shouted: "Enough, I will not bother with you for the sake of your achievements. Go down."
Bai Lan gritted his teeth as he walked out of the Mascot Palace.
Returning to the Moonlight Palace, he said to Leng Qiyue, "The Emperor has been busy with official business lately, and will come to see you once he has nothing else to do."
Leng Qiyue laughed: Forget it, why would you lie to me? You only hear the new person laugh, and the old person cry. It's been like this since the ancient times, forget it. "
Bai Lan slammed the table in anger. A good pear blossom wood table shattered just like that.
"Where's the First Prince?" Bai Lan changed the topic and said.
Leng Qiyue looked outside and said, "The princess is asleep. Niu Jun and the First Princess have gone out to play."
"Empress, this is bad. The First Prince has been poisoned." Xiao Die ran in and shouted.
"Poisoned?" Leng Qiyue was shocked. Nian Bing was almost immune to poisons, how could he be poisoned?
Xiao Die said, "Initially, the First Prince and First Princess were playing outside when a grey cat suddenly ran over and injured the First Prince.
Leng Qiyue lifted up the blanket and was about to go to the side hall, when she saw that she was barefoot, she stepped forward and held her up: "I'll bring you there."
When they arrived at the door, Leng Qiyue said: "Xiao Die, take care of the good child."
Xiao Die nodded and hugged Little Princess who was lying on the bed.
Arriving at the side hall, Leng Qiyue inspected the body and said: "It's fine, the poison isn't deep. I'll be able to wake up later."
Nanny Lan asked: "You don't need to take the medicine?"
Leng Qiyue shook her head: "There's no need, it's a three-way poison, it'll be fine when he wakes up." After saying that, she patted the crying Princess Xiaoxiao and asked, "What does that cat look like?"
Xiao Xiao said, choked with sobs, "That cat is very big. It's gray in color, and its claws are red in color. It's very scary."
"Gray Cat?" Leng Qiyue had to think twice. Yesterday, it was a grey cat that caused her to be prematurely born, but today, Niu Jun was caught by a grey cat and poisoned. Who was the owner of the gray cat?
Bai Lan frowned: "Don't worry, I'll go instruct the guards to strengthen the defenses."
Leng Qiyue nodded, put on the shoes that Nanny Lan brought and returned to the main hall to rest.
In the afternoon, Moonlight Palace's second visitor arrived.
"Esteemed Empress Xu has arrived!"
Leng Qiyue instinctively hugged the little princess tightly and looked vigilantly towards the door.
Xu Han walked in with a huge grey cat in her arms. She smiled hypocritically and said, "Congratulations for giving birth to the little princess."
Leng Qiyue frowned, her gaze was fixated on the grey cat. Its claws were indeed red, as if they were stained with some color.
Xu Han saw Leng Qiyue staring at the cat in her embrace, and laughed: "My Little Ash is very cute right?"
Leng Qiyue said coldly: "If little sister wants to raise a cat, I have a lot of them in the palace, why would I go out of the palace to find a wild cat?"
Xu Han smiled and said, "This cat isn't ordinary. He grew up eating medicinal herbs since he was young, and the emperor specifically found it for me. He said he's going to kill him and drink his stew when I get to bed, it's very nourishing."
Leng Qiyue looked at Han Liu and instantly felt chills over her entire body. How did she become so vicious? You want to kill me and my child? "
Han Liu giggled. "So what if I am? To tell you the truth, the emperor has already prepared to bestow me the title of imperial concubine. As long as I give birth to a prince, the position of Empress will belong to me."
Leng Qiyue shook her head when she heard this, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, there is no such thing as an imperial concubine here. Why are you doing this? If you want to talk about princes, then so do I. Your family background is inferior to mine, what right do you have to be the empress? "
