Chapter 388

When the two men in the palace finished drinking wine and left contentedly, Chu Changqing leaned out of the curtain and looked at the two groups snuggling together. There was a meaningful smile on his lips.

Gu fan pulled up his veil and looked at him strangely and asked, "that man can't be your brother Xu Hanfei?"

"Yes. That's him. I haven't seen him for a long time when he left Xirong in anger," Chu Changqing said gently touching the corner of his lips. "He hasn't changed at all. He still looks like that between his eyebrows and eyes. But look at his clothes. He should have had a good time in the Imperial Palace, otherwise he won't be called childe Xu by the waiter of xuelou."

Gu was stunned. He stared round his eyes and said, "you said he was a man in the palace. He wouldn't be around the emperor?"

"If I were with the emperor, I would turn around as soon as I saw him. I would never drink here." Chu Changqing narrowed his eyes. "He should want to work with the emperor. The Emperor just doesn't like him for the time being. Seeing a woman beside him, he seems to be a miracle doctor in the deep mountains of Kyoto. He should have entered the palace by relying on her identity as a doctor."

Gu Gu took a sip of wine. "Did he recognize you? I just saw the woman's eyes staring at you for a while."

"It's nothing for her to stare at me, but don't let the young master Xu see it." Chu Changqing lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. "When are you going to go to the imperial palace to meet the saint? This is the reason why you feel cold occasionally, but it won't take long."

"Why are you so anxious? I don't want to be locked up in the Imperial Palace so soon." Gu Gu pouted unhappily. "After we get along for a few more days, I'll get well and go to the emperor."

"You and I have grown up together since childhood. Why do we have to get along for a few days? You'd better go to the emperor quickly. If you stay outside the palace for too long, the emperor will be suspicious," Chu Changqing frowned, "Besides, general Kur's side is about to be overwhelmed. The emperor doesn't look like an idle person. We don't want to step on the minefield when we come. You know there is a queen to deal with in the back palace."

"I understand all these, but I'm still nervous when I see the city gate. I always feel like I've entered another cell," Gu can't help feeling cold. "If I see the emperor, I may faint."

Chu Changqing could hardly cry or laugh. "I really can't do anything about your charming princess's temper. If you can go to the palace obediently, I would have asked God, let alone marry the emperor."

"So let's play outside. No one will know if I dress up like this."

Chu Changqing raised his eyebrows. "You don't really think that the emperor doesn't know that we are making trouble outside. If he knows, he will definitely make trouble for you several times when you go to the imperial palace."

Gu Gu raised his eyebrows. "I'm not afraid of him, not to mention the queen in his harem. Now the military strength of the state of Qin can't compare with that of Xirong. They fought at the border only by luck. At other times, they were defeated. The emperor should know better than those of us who came all the way. In that case, don't make trouble."

"But when you see the emperor, don't show such an expression. The emperor will certainly be unhappy," Chu Changqing pursed his lips. "I know these things, but I can't talk to the emperor. You're here to reach a contract, not to lead a war."

Gu Gu pursed his lips into a line. "I understand that my father asked me to come to the state of Qin to get married, not to lead the war. After all, our soldiers can't sacrifice so much."

Chu Changqing nodded leisurely, "you know, it's good. Fortunately, the emperor had told you before we went out. Otherwise, if something happened, we might have gone forever. You should be careful."

Xue ronghua didn't sleep well for three or two days. He asked Feihong to invite a resident. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of wine on her. He quickly covered his nose and asked, "what's the matter with you? I've never seen you drink. Why did you come back with the smell of wine? You don't take a shower when you drink. I smell the smell of wine all over. I have a headache."

Liu Yuan's cheeks were still flushed. She was a little embarrassed and lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I'm really sorry. I went out to drink with Xu Hanfei last night. It took me a while to wake up. At this time, I was still a little dizzy."

"If you haven't sobered up yet, you don't have to come in such a hurry," Xue ronghua looked at her for a moment. "Why don't you go to my back hall to bathe and change clothes first. I have good spices to dispel the wine smell. Don't worry, otherwise I smell really uncomfortable."

Liu Yuan followed Feihong to the back hall, took a bath in the bath for half a while, and then wiped her body with the spice. She felt that the whole person was awake and her strength was slowly restored. The inch silk year of the tin Xue building was enough to toss people. She didn't even finish half a cup, so she felt that her whole body was soft and could not react for a time.

When she came out, Xue ronghua had prepared snacks and tea. She looked at her with some concern, "you have no problem, but you have recovered. I'm still waiting to give you an injection."

"I may have drunk strong liquor and passed the cold wind, so I'm not happy," Liu Yuan said casually to her wrist. "What's the matter with you?"

"I feel restless recently. I can't sleep at night and can't eat," said Xue ronghua. "Do you think it's because of Dementor? Is my health starting to be bad again, but I've been away from the emperor for some time? According to your previous statement, it shouldn't be like this."

Liu Yuan's fingers trembled slightly. Her eyes widened slowly and said in a slow tone, "do you know you are pregnant and you have dragon seed in your stomach."

Xue ronghua was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "how is it possible that I have a dragon fetus so soon?"

"It's about two months," Liu Yuan turned his eyes and said in surprise. "Wasn't it your wedding day with the emperor two months ago? In this way, it's normal for you to have a dragon seed."

Xue ronghua didn't know whether to rejoice or cry when she heard the news. She sank down and pondered for a while. Her eyes and eyebrows were worried, "I know this is good news. The whole palace celebrates together. Once you are pregnant, it is a great wedding. The emperor will be very happy after listening to it. But you know, my body is not good because of the power of soul taking, and I can't get close to the emperor. Do you think I have the ability to protect this baby?"

Liu Yuan explored her pulse several times and nodded very firmly. "This is your first child. I will protect this baby for you. Don't worry. I'll help you solve even the physical problems, but it's better for the emperor to come less. You have to be careful here."

Xue ronghua bit her lips and covered her lower abdomen with her hands. She had seen so many women pregnant before. Some of them lost their blessings in the middle of the journey. Some of the adulterers would seriously damage both mother and son. Would she step into the footsteps of these women again.

Liu Yuan saw through her mind at a glance. "Are you still worried about the child in your stomach? There is no one else in your harem. Who can harm you, and no one needs to harm you."

Xue ronghua sighed faintly, "the emperor still has a headache about Xirong. I'm pregnant here. I'm afraid it will delay the emperor's business and distract the emperor from my stomach."

"He is the father of the child. Naturally, he should pay attention," Liu Yuan said with a smile, "but don't worry. Even if the emperor puts his mind on you, Xirong's affairs can be handled well. Aren't their envoys coming to the palace soon?"

"I heard it in the harem," said Xue ronghua. "Feihong even met them on the road. She said there was a woman in the envoy who said it was a princess or something."

Liu Yuan was stunned. She really regretted leading her words to this. She pretended not to know and said, "what princess? How could the princess come all the way to such a far place? Did you hear wrong?"

"I don't know if I heard it wrong, but I know that the state of Qi is married to Xirong, and the princess is still the queen, and the future prince will be the emperor of the state of Qi," Xue ronghua narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone can see what Xirong is thinking. I think they came to talk about peace for only one purpose, that is, to let the emperor marry Xirong. What they won't say is the princess."

The skill of that incense was almost over. Chu Zongge looked at the curl of cigarettes scattered with the wind, and his eyebrows were wrinkled. He bent his knuckles and knocked on the table several times, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, I asked you to come to the study. I didn't ask you to play riddles for me. When will you speak?"

"The slave dare not. The emperor doesn't have to call the slave childe Xu," said Xu Hanfei, bowing his hands and lowering his eyelids. "The illness of Princess Gu and Chu Changqing is absolutely pretended, Emperor. The people of Xirong are strong. They can't get sick in the cold winter of the state of Qin. They are always taking the opportunity to delay time."

"General Kur's words were half hidden, and I guessed," Chu Zongge's eyes were covered with frost. "Since you are Chu Changqing's brother, do you know anything about Princess Gu?"

Xu Hanfei blinked. "The emperor will never marry Princess Gu. Even the position of a concubine will not be given to her."

Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes. "Everyone in the harem knows that I will never accept the imperial concubine. There is only the queen in the harem. Why did you ask again?"

"It's just a few questions. Please don't worry. The emperor is not interested in Princess Gu," Xu Hanfei said with a faint smile. "But Princess Gu has always liked Chu Changqing. They grew up together. Chu Changqing naturally likes Princess Gu. Emperor Xirong must have spent a lot of effort to let Princess Gu out of the palace."

"I think so, otherwise these two people won't come to the saint now," Chu Zongge rubbed his eyebrows. "The child is really naughty."
