Facing Butler Ueda's puzzled eyes, Chen Xi thought deeply: "Steward Tian, I conclude that the imperial doctor did not tell her about my pregnancy today. Now that you tell her at this sensitive time, it will only make her think more about me.
So much suspicion! Moreover, the more people know about this, the more dangerous it will be for the baby."
Remembering the last time Emperor Ling Xiao resolutely slapped Chen Xi, Butler Tian also had lingering fears.
It was a false pregnancy last time, so I wasn't afraid of confronting those people. But the situation is different now.
Without the talisman Feng Qingyang by his side, Chen Xi could only take care of things step by step.
"Steward Tian, I saw a familiar figure when I went to Cixi Palace today. When I get back, ask someone to check and see what the empress dowager's cronies have been doing recently. I suspect that today's incident is related to her cronies.
"
"Okay! I will investigate this carefully."
Butler Tian nodded and discussed some more things with Chen Xi. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he and Doctor Wang had no choice but to leave first.
…
The rising sun is full of vitality and casts a layer of warm light in the lonely Zunli Si.
Chen Xi, who received the good news, was in high spirits even though he was in danger.
Early in the morning, she walked out of the cabin and looked for the dining room.
I have long heard that the conditions in the Zunli Department are strict, and the sons and grandsons who have violated the law can only enjoy the lowest treatment here. Although they are not required to cook with their own hands, the meals are extremely light.
Her breakfast consisted of only a bowl of porridge with no grains of rice visible.
I picked it up and drank it in two or three sips!
She looked at her belly sadly, how could this little nutrition be enough?
She looked helplessly at the empty dining room, apologizing to the baby, and turned around to leave. Suddenly, there was a faint sound behind her.
In this quiet dining room, the sound was extremely abrupt.
Chen Xi turned around and saw a plump woman holding a spoon, quietly poking her head out of the kitchen and secretly licking her fingers at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pointed at herself with her finger, and seeing the lady nodding, she walked over in confusion.
The aunt hurriedly stuffed two small steamed buns into her hand, nodded to her encouragingly, turned around and slipped into the depths of the kitchen.
Chen Xi looked at the two soft little white faces in his hands, and then at the empty kitchen door, feeling warm in his heart!
There are still a lot of good people in this world, right?
She put the two small buns into the space ring, turned around, and saw a bitter face slowly walking in with a complaint.
The words he cursed were nothing more than how deceptive Zunli Si’s food was and how cruel his father was.
Chen Xi pretended not to hear, Leng Ran passed by him and was about to walk out.
"Hey! Ignoring people?"
An Zhengli turned around, his displeased gaze fell on Chen Xi's thin back, and he curled his lips.
He suddenly blocked Chen Xi's way, squinted his eyes, put his fingers on his chin and smiled broadly: "Sixteenth Princess, you are very courageous! I have seen it all!"
"What did you see?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and remained calm.
That unimpressive indifference made An Zuli feel very uncomfortable. He said loudly: "Pretend to pretend! Pretend as hard as you can! Believe it or not, I will sue Old Master Zhu immediately and starve you for three days and three nights?"
"
Chen Xi frowned, damn, did this guy see everything just now?
What she was worried about was not that she would be hungry for three days and three nights, but that she would be in trouble for the kind-hearted aunt.
