"There's no need. It's fine to leave this sort of thing for a servant to do. Stay here and chat with me. It's rather boring for me to be pregnant." Madam Xiao raised her hand to stop Aunt Ling, a smile on her face as she spoke.

"..." "Yes."

Fuan Courtyard.

Lian Ru Yue and Lian Fu stayed for dinner.

After three months of pregnancy, the First Wife's health had become much more robust. Imperial Physician Rong would come every once in a while to check her pulse and protect her fetus. Ever since the incident with the thieves, Lian Mother and Lian Yanqing had simultaneously dispatched more guards to protect the Eldest Wife's health.

"Yue Er, your hand has already recovered. Does it still hurt?" the First Lady asked with concern as she personally scooped a bowl of soup for Lian Ruyue.

"Mother, I'm fully recovered. There's no need to worry. It's just a scratch." Lian Ruyue raised her hand and raised it up as she spoke.

The first wife frowned and said, "It's so dangerous to fall from a cliff and come back with wounds everywhere. You still say it's just a scratch, child, I really don't know what to say about you. How can there be a girl who isn't afraid of pain and isn't afraid of death?"

The first wife lived in seclusion and didn't know that Lian Ruyue was being hunted down. She always thought that she fell down accidentally.

Mother, who said I'm not afraid of death? I'm scared to death, I don't want to die at all. Lian Ruyue laughed out loud.

"Child, I'm telling you this and you're telling me that. You're really going to worry me to death. I'm going to grow up next year. I really don't know which family's young master will dare to marry you home." The First Lady replied with both pity and love.

When Ruyue heard this, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. It seemed that her mother didn't know what the emperor was planning. How could Lian Yanqing dare to accept anyone's proposal?

"Mother, don't blame elder sister. It's all Yi'er's fault. He called her out to ride the horse, but he didn't protect her well and made her suffer so much." After that day, he diligently trained every day, not slacking for even a single day.

"Sigh, my heart is beating so fast, I wonder if it would be better if you got married." The first wife caressed her heart and said.

"Alright, alright, I am fine now, right? Mother, Yi'er, both of you don't need to worry anymore. Hurry up and eat up, there's so much delicious food, I want to eat it all. " Lian Ruyue lowered her head to drink the soup.

After leaving Fuan Courtyard, Lian Meng first sent Lianyue back to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard before returning to the Wenhua Courtyard. Lianyue urged him to rest early.

After Lian Lian Fu left, Yun Xiang carried a cup of water forward and passed it in front of Lian Ruyue. "Eldest Miss, drink some water."

"Cough, cough …" At this moment, the young woman with the washbasin coughed twice.

"Are you sick?" Lian Ruyue asked.

"Eldest Miss, my throat feels a bit uncomfortable these two days. I don't know what's going on." As Fairy said this, she coughed twice.

"Then don't stay here to wait on me, go back and rest." Lian Ruyue said.

"Yes, your servant will take his leave." As Fairy Qingdai spoke, she couldn't help but cast a glance at the incense, as a complicated expression appeared in her eyes.

As for the incense standing behind Lian Ruyue, she took off the golden hairpin on her head. She didn't notice Qing Di's glance in the slightest. A faint smile even appeared on her lips.

Qingdai coughed because she was allergic to peanuts. She coughed when she ate them, and a few days before the incense dropped, she secretly added peanut water to her food, just to keep her out of the way.

But now, it seemed that he had succeeded.

"Liangxiang, serve me a rest tonight." Lian Ru Yue ordered as she looked at the book in her hands, her gaze never leaving Scroll.

"Yes, this servant obeys."

After dispersing Lian Ruyue's hair, Yue Xiang let her wash her face and wipe her hands before helping her into the inner room and lying down on the bed.

After covering Lian Rue with a blanket, she lit up a small incense in the room. Lian Rue was often woken up by nightmares, so after her cold brows reported to the Ninth Prince, he asked her to bring back a calming incense to him. She often lit it before she went to sleep.

But today —

The incense stole a glance back at the person on the bed. She looked very tired and had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

She turned her head and continued to light up the incense.

Eldest Miss, today's incense will make you sleep even deeper with some seasoning. Please rest well.

After lighting the incense, Mu Ru Yue dutifully stood outside the door until Lian Ruyue entered into deep sleep. She then closed the door and stood outside, waiting for Lady Xiao's signal.

When he returned to the Wen Hua Academy, he did not immediately rest. Instead, he continued to read the military manual.

After a while, Red Jade pushed the door open and walked over to the desk. "Young Master, are you going to study very late tonight?"

"Yes." He didn't even raise his head as he spoke.

"Young master spends every day reading late into the night, it's really tiring. This is the tonic that young miss ordered me to bring over two days ago, and I stewed it for you to drink." Hong Yu said as she placed a bowl of soup in front of Lian Fu.

"Put it down. I'll drink it later." He continued to read the military manual.

"This was instructed by the young miss. Young master, you must drink it." Red Jade said as she walked a few steps, seemingly worried.

She pretended to go out, but secretly went around to the door again, and sneakily lay outside the door, staring intently at Lian Dao's every move. In her mind, she thought, "What if the young master doesn't drink this soup?"

First, he flipped through the book, and after that, he closed the book and started to write.

Hong Yu watched as the steam from the soup slowly disappeared, feeling anxious in her heart, she couldn't help but mutter softly, "Young Master, you should drink it quickly."

When Lian Fu finished writing the first page, he finally picked up the bowl of soup. Lowering his head, he scooped up the soup one mouthful at a time and drank it down.

"I've finally drunk …" Hong Yu heaved a sigh of relief and went to report to Madam Xiao.

A smile appeared on her face as she turned around and accidentally knocked against a wall of flesh. She was shocked and raised her head abruptly to look —

Yes, it was the enigmatic maid, Green Branch, by the First Miss's side.

"Green, Green Branch Girl, why did you come here now? "Young master is practicing calligraphy right now."

With a cold glare from her eyebrows, Hong Yu moved out of the way. When she saw the person behind her, she was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.

He saw the eldest young miss standing there like a ghost with an icy cold expression, as if she wanted to take her life.

"El-Eldest Miss …" Her voice trembled as she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.

At this time, the door creaked open. Lian Yin's figure appeared in front of the door, coldly staring at her. Hong Yu was shocked; hadn't she just seen her young master drink soup? How to...

"Tie her up!" Lian Meng Yue gave the order.

"Yes sir!" With Senior Servant Tai in the lead, she quickly tied up the red jade.
