Chapter 236

After saying goodbye to Wen Xiao, they returned to the city and strolled around the street hand in hand until it was getting dark.

Zhao Yu and Xiao Yu came back earlier than the two. They were sitting in the hall waiting for the waiter to serve.

In the corner of his eye, Xiao caught a glimpse of Qu Qiu and Jiang Shimu coming in. He immediately stopped talking and said in a loud voice, "Shimu, ah Qiu, this way."

When Qu Qiu and Jiang Shimu heard the sound and walked over, Zhao Yu smiled and said, "have you had dinner?"

Seeing Qu Qiu shaking her head, Xiao Yu immediately summoned the waiter, asked the waiter to get two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and added a few more dishes.

After they sat down, Zhao Yu asked Qu Qiu, "have you seen your senior brother?"

Qu Qiu drank the tea that Jiang Shimu poured for herself, nodded gently, and asked casually, "how long will it take you to finish your work?"

Zhao Yu thought for a moment and said, "it's about a few days. If you're in a hurry to go back, you don't have to wait for me to meet Xiao."

Qu Qiu said, "we're not in a hurry. We'd better wait for you."

So the four stayed together.

During the day, Qu Qiu and Jiang dusk wander around, and Zhao Yu and Xiao go out to do business.

In the evening, we have dinner, chat for a while, and then go back to our rooms to have a rest.

In the evening of the fifth day, only Xiao Yu came back.

When Jiang Shimu didn't see Zhao Yu's figure, he asked, "where's Qingning?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, "said he met his old friend and went to eat wine with others."

Jiang Shimu nodded without much thought.

The next morning, when Jiang Shimu and Qu Qiu came downstairs, they happened to meet Zhao Yu who had just returned from the outside.

Qu Qiu looked at his wrinkled clothes and blinked, "brother Zhao came back this morning?"

Zhao Yu said with a smile, "I drank too much and forgot the time."

Just as Xiao Yu came down, he saw Zhao Yu standing downstairs and immediately said that the man didn't come back last night.

Xiao Yu looked at him quietly, picked his eyebrows, and didn't ask much.

On the morning of the eighth day, the four packed their bags and left tonghuai house together.

Back to Qijing, Jiang Shimu followed Zhao Yu and Xiao Yu into the palace to recover his life. Qu Qiu had nothing to do. He invited Ann with his mother-in-law and slipped to Prince Ning's house to find Princess Ning.

At this time, Princess Ning's stomach was very obvious. In addition, because she ate too much, the whole person was mellow.

Seeing Qu Qiu, Princess Ning was very happy. She took someone and said, "I thought my sister-in-law and brother were playing too funny outside and wouldn't be willing to come back."

Qu Qiu reluctantly spread his hand, "I want to play more for a while, but you don't know what your brother's temperament is."

Then he bent down, put his ear on Princess Ning's stomach, and asked curiously, "will it move?"

Princess Ning looked at the woman lying on her stomach with gentle eyebrows and eyes. Her whole body radiated the glory of being a mother. She nodded and smiled and said, "she doesn't like to move in the daytime, but she likes to make trouble at night. I think this girl must be restless in the future."

"Girl?" Qu Qiu finally looked up.

Princess Ning said softly, "doctor Gu said it was a girl."

Qu Qiu was so envious that she kissed Princess Ning again and again. She wished she could touch the joy of having a daughter.

After making trouble for a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "have you ever taken a good name?"

Princess Ning nodded, "well, it was given by her father. The single name is' Ling '."

Aya. Zhao Ling.

Qu Qiu read the name twice and boasted: "it sounds good!"

They chatted for a while until Princess Ning was tired, and Qu Qiu reluctantly left Prince Ning's house.

When Jiang came back at dusk at night, Qu Qiu couldn't help telling him about going to King Ning's house in the daytime.

Jiang Shimu said with a smile, "your name is good. You must be a beautiful girl in the future."

Qu Qiu looked at him and then at his stomach without any movement. The whole person was not very good.

Before leaving Beijing, doctor Gu had diagnosed Qu Qiu's pulse, saying that she was cold and not easy to get pregnant, so she could have a good life and recuperate, and then let it go.

Jiang Shimu keenly noticed his wife's low mood, slowly came forward and hugged the man. He said in a warm voice, "we are still young, and the child's business is not urgent for a moment."

Qu Qiu leaned against her husband's arms and whispered, "I went to see my mother in the morning. My mother didn't say it, but I know that she was anxious to hold her grandson."

Jiang Shimu suddenly lowered his head and bit his wife's lip, "listen. Let it be."

Qu Qiu hummed and bit back in revenge.

Since then, neither of them has mentioned the child.

At the end of summer, the emperor set up a crown prince and Zhao Yu settled in the east palace.

The original Princess Ning also became the crown princess.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction until the day of the Chinese New Year.

Calm, so ruthlessly torn apart.

When Qu Qiu and Jiang Shimu accompanied Prime Minister Jiang and old lady Jiang to the East Palace, the crown princess had not returned from the ghost gate.

The door of the house was full of people kneeling. The emperor raised his feet and kicked the prince severely.

The prince was kicked and fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to say more. He got up and continued to kneel.

On his side, there was a woman kneeling.

The woman is dressed in plain clothes. Her beautiful face is not powdered, but it is still beautiful enough to make the world pale.

Qu Qiu saw her face and murmured, "it's her."

The woman was also present when she first met Jiang Shimu and Zhao Yu in tonghuai mansion.

Jiang Shimu is not familiar with her, but Zhao Yu and Xiao Yu know her very well.

She still remembers that her name is Yun Chongjin.

A Jiangnan woman born too beautiful.

Later, she heard Jiang Shimu mention that Yun Chongjin's mother was a former princess.

His brother had committed a crime and was ordered by the former Emperor. The whole family surnamed Yun was not allowed to step into the capital for life.

Normally speaking, she should not appear in the capital, let alone in the east palace.

The emperor seemed to see Prime Minister Jiang at this time. He looked ashamed and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, it's my godson. I'm sorry for you."

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng led his family to salute the emperor, gave Zhao Yu a deep look, and asked in a low voice, "how's the princess?"

The emperor was about to open his mouth. The door was pushed open. The maid led the doctor and wenpo out.

Before the emperor and others asked, the doctor said, "the crown princess is all right. In the follow-up, you just need to take good care of yourself."

The emperor asked in a deep voice, "my granddaughter?"

The doctor and wenpo looked at each other and shook their heads sadly.

Old lady Jiang couldn't stay any longer when she heard the speech. She rushed into the house regardless.

"Twilight!" Qu Qiu screamed.

Jiang Shimu didn't know when he came to Zhao Yu. He waved his fist on Zhao Yu's face and knocked Zhao Yu down.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, still stood with his hands down, and did not come forward to stop it.

Just when Jiang Shimu wanted to hit the second punch, Yun Chongjin blocked Jiang Shimu.

Jiang Shimu was furious. His chest fluctuated violently. He turned red, pointed to Zhao Yu, and finally pointed to Yun Chongjin: "I should have killed you!"

Yun Chongjin said quietly, "but you didn't kill me."

After a pause, he looked up at Jiang Shimu and said expressionless, "I'm pregnant with Zhao Yu's child. Even if I want to deal with me, it won't be you."

Jiang Shimu trembled all over, his pupils shrunk violently, staggered back a few steps, and his face was as white as paper.

The corridor was silent for a moment, and the dead silence spread silently.

Xiao Yu, who didn't know when to come, suddenly appeared and stood in front of Yun Chongjin, staring warily at Jiang Shimu.

Qu Qiu looked anxiously at her husband and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say under the circumstances.

Everyone's eyes fell on the four people who were facing each other.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Shimu suddenly chuckled.

The laughter seemed to come from the chest and overflow from the throat.

It echoes in the East Palace, gloomy and cold.

Jiang Shimu gathered a laugh, looked at Xiao Yu in front of him and asked softly, "you already know?"

Xiao Yu gently shook his head, "it's not too early."

"Very good." Jiang Shimu suddenly pulled out the jade pendant from his waist and held it in his hand.

Under Xiao Yu's surprised eyes, he said word by word: "from now on, all the friendship between Jiang Shimu and Zhao Yu and Xiao Yu will be like this."

The five fingers are closed, and the jade pendant is split in an instant.

Just like their friendship.
