Liu Bin smiled and turned around to sit at the table and chairs in front of the tree. The table was covered with luxurious brocade cloth, and some fruits and teapots were placed on it.
She raised her hand to pour a cup of tea and said, "This is the cherry blossom dew tea I made myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Chu Jiaoli smiled and nodded, sat opposite her, rolled up her sleeves, picked up the tea cup, and said, "I never expected that your empress is so ingenious."
Before I could drink it, the tea cup was pulled away by the person behind me.
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Jinglan with a serious face: "My Lady, I'd rather have this drink for you."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "Jinglan, please don't be rude in front of Concubine Liu."
Jinglan raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "My Lady, have you forgotten what you said before? Your Highness is coming back soon, and I cannot bear to see anything happen to your Majesty before His Highness comes back." p>
Hearing this, Concubine Liu frowned in displeasure and said, "An He, what do you mean? Can't you trust me?"
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "An He doesn't dare..."
Liu Bin sighed softly, poured a glass for herself, raised the glass, took a sip, and said: "It's non-toxic."
Chu Jiaoli looked a little embarrassed and said: "Mother, I'm so sorry..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "pop" sound and an empty teacup was placed on the table. Chu Jiaoli frowned and looked at Jinglan and said: "Jinglan! You are so rude."
Although she does have some concerns in her heart, Jinglan is also helping her by doing this. Didn't she also poison Chu Jiaoping in front of her?
However, does Liu Bin have any interest in her?
No matter what, it is not good to break up with her like this.
She showed a slightly embarrassed smile and said: "Mother, I hope you won't be offended. Jinglan has such a temper..."
Liu Bin sighed softly and said: "That's all, she is also a protector of the master."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and stroked her hair, and said: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Chu Jiaoli frowned and hesitated to speak, but then she bowed politely and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing your Majesty's pleasure. I would like to send you my regards."
After she walked away, Chu Jiaoli breathed out gently, her face returned to a little indifferent, and she whispered: "Go back to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If nothing happens, you have to come with me to apologize."
Jinglan lowered her head and said, "Yes."
"Your Highness is back!" Following the eunuch's sharp call, Chu Jiaoli suddenly opened her eyes.
She walked quickly to the door of the main palace, and saw the gate of the imperial city slowly opening, and the army led by Beigong Tengxiao slowly walked into the palace along the red carpet.
Chu Jiaoli looked at the handsome man wearing armor on a black horse, her nose suddenly sore, and her eyes flashed with tears.
Xiang Yini came step by step from Pingting, walked up to Beigong Tengxiao, smiled and saluted, and said: "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Congratulations to Your Highness on your triumphant return from the battle."
Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her expressionlessly, got off his horse, glanced around, and looked up, only to see Chu Jiaoli on the steps.
There was a hint of smile in his tired eyes, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his voice mixed with some inner strength fluttered into her ears: "My beloved concubine, I haven't seen you for two months, why are you so far away from me?"
?"
Hearing his voice, Chu Jiaoli smiled slightly sadly.
She waited and waited, and hoped, and waited for two months, but she never dreamed that Beigong Tengxiao could appear in front of her safely right now.
He arrived more than an hour earlier than expected, and she suddenly felt regretful. Why wasn't she waiting for him at the door?
Now she just wants to throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly.
A line of tears flashed across the corner of her eyes. Seeing Beigong Tengxiao climbing up the stairs, she also took a step slowly.
Suddenly feeling her ankle take a big step forward, Chu Jiaoli suddenly lost her center of gravity. She fell forward with her eyes wide open in surprise.
Jing Lan, who was behind her, wanted to step forward to protect her, but her head felt dizzy, she lost strength, and her whole body became limp.
She frowned, but still tried her best to hold Chu Jiaoli.
"Ah!" Chu Jiaoli exclaimed, rolling down the steps with the half-fainted Jinglan.
Beigong Tengxiao was shocked and screamed secretly, and then Luck Qinggong flew up.
The two of them had already turned several somersaults. Jinglan, who was covered in bruises, had completely fainted. Chu Jiaoli seemed to be pulled by some force and rolled down a few more stairs.
When Beigong Tengxiao arrived, Chu Jiaoli's blurred eyes looked up at him with worry, her vision was dark.
"Li'er!" Beigong Tengxiao shouted and hugged her up.
Her arms dropped weakly, completely fainting in his arms.
The celebration banquet has not yet begun, Beigong Tengxiao has already returned to the Prince's Mansion in a hurry.
The maids carefully wiped away the blood stains, and a few tiny silver needles were stuck on their white lotus-root arms.
Beigong Tengxiao stood beside Chu Jiaoli, looking at her lying on the bed with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes due to pain, and felt heart-wrenching pain.
He held Chu Jiaoli's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Li'er, nothing can happen to you... I have no intention of letting you go down the stairs. I want to go up..."
"Child...my child..." Chu Jiaoli said in a weak voice.
Beigong Tengxiao was stunned, his lips trembled a little and said: "Child? What child?"
"My concubine...is pregnant with His Highness's child..."
Beigong Tengxiao looked at the large amount of blood pouring out from under her body, and his heart suddenly twitched. He held her hand tightly and said softly: "The child is still there, Li'er, don't think too much..."<
/p>
Chu Jiaoli seemed to have noticed the passing of life in her body, and also understood Beigong Tengxiao's white lies. She couldn't help but sob in pain and shed tears of despair.
"Your Highness, the medicine is ready." Jing Ling came out of the pharmacy and walked in with the medicine soup.
"Bring it to me."
"Yes."
Beigong Tengxiao took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew it on his lips, and carefully fed it into her mouth.
Chu Jiaoli frowned in discomfort when she tasted the bitter decoction. She tightened her lips in extreme pain and refused to drink the medicine.
Beigong Tengxiao looked at the moist corners of her eyes, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said softly: "Li'er, drink a little, I beg you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth to drink the bitter soup and carefully fed it into her mouth.
Chu Jiaoli endured the pain, slowly opened her lips, and let out a weak whimper in pain.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, closed his loving eyes, and a line of tears of pity flashed across the corners of his eyes.
After finally drinking a bowl, Beigong Tengxiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
After soothing her to sleep, he raised his hand and stroked her slightly cold cheek.
"How is the Crown Princess?" His voice was very light and disappeared in the wind.
