He Yanyan's words made Bian Xiao's heart tighten and his eyes darkened. He looked down at the woman and gently lifted the gauze wrapping her chest, frowning——
He didn't love her, Bian Xiao had already determined this when he married her.
But now He Yanyan has a child of her own. Although her status as "Regent" has to disappear for a period of time due to the emperor's calculations, she still has to find a way to protect her.
"Everyone knows that the regent is a ruthless person who kills without blinking an eye. I didn't expect the princess to be so gentle," Bian Xiao asked tentatively, "Although I am a man of the world, there have been a lot of rumors about the regent recently.
Said... he has died in the battle, why doesn't the princess find another way out?"
After removing the gauze and seeing the shocking scar on the man's chest, He Yanyan did not look at him: "Where is the princess living in this remote woodshed?"
"..."
She raised her head and the tip of her nose touched the man's cold white jade mask: "Let's wait until the prince is pregnant for the first time."
"..."
Although Bian Xiao did not hope that the marriage between the two would favor He Yanyan, he always felt a little unhappy when he heard his wife keep saying that she would wait until her first trimester:
"Then when it comes to the first seven days...does the girl have other plans?"
"If the prince dies, the palace will also fall," He Yanyan said, with a dark and unclear light flashing in her eyes, "Why do you stay here?"
After saying that, she looked into the surprised eyes under the mask, and then smiled with an unknown meaning: "Is it possible that... the young master wants to take me in?"
"..."
A flash of crimson flashed across his face quickly, and Bian Xiao took two steps back, only to be pulled by He Yanyan's sleeve: "You see, although the young master has thin skin and tender flesh, he is also a practicing master. If the young master is willing to stretch out
I won’t treat you badly if you give me a helping hand.”
Bian Xiao frowned, his face full of displeasure: "It's late today, I'll leave first."
"..."
Without giving He Yanyan a chance to speak, Bian Xiao climbed up the high wall and left with the doctor.
At this time, He Yanyan's legs were not fully healed yet. Looking at the direction the man was leaving, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her lower abdomen——
If no one comes to help me after seven days, and the prince really dies, my child and I...
Where to go?
In the main room, the wet nurse ordered someone to pick up her daughter and live with her. She sipped her tea and asked, "Have you ever heard of the prince's whereabouts?"
Two servants knelt down and shook their heads: "No, nanny. People in the palace are also very strict about the secrets. I heard from a eunuch that the emperor may know the whereabouts of the prince, but no one is allowed to make it known."
"emperor……"
The nanny paused and said, "Then you pack up and accompany me to the palace."
Fortunately, the nanny found something to do for herself, so He Yanyan was able to recharge her batteries in the afternoon. Although she vomited several times, she was lucky to be able to lie in bed.
When the wet nurse drove the carriage to the entrance of the palace in the afternoon, the guard immediately stopped the carriage and asked, "Who is coming!"
The wet nurse poked her head out of the carriage: "I am the wet nurse of the regent Bian Xiao. I have come to the palace to meet the emperor, and I still won't let you go!"
"Regent?"
Seeing the scolding gesture, they thought she was a princess. Unexpectedly, she was just a wet nurse. They burst out laughing with a "puff":
"Who knows what kind of thing you are? You are just a servant. How dare you be so arrogant?"
"That's it, I'm warning you, this place is no better than your palace. This is the palace. If you do it again, don't blame us for being rude."
Where did the nanny ever get so angry?
Even in the palace, He Yanyan could only compete with her. Even the nanny's status was higher. Now being insulted by two guards, the nanny's temper suddenly rose:
"Grandma, you have legs! You are worthy of talking to me like that!"
Soon, they had a conflict with the guards,
As soon as there was a commotion at the door, everyone in the palace knew about it.
At this time, the emperor was discussing with the Minister of War how to announce that the regent had been killed in battle so as to take back the military power from his hands, but he did not expect to hear these rumors:
"really?"
"What you said to Your Majesty is absolutely true! The regent's wet nurse is already fighting with the guards outside. It is said that she fainted due to a sudden illness. Several maids are crying at the door."
The emperor frowned. Although the emperor had heard that the regent had a vulgar wet nurse, he did not expect that he was so naughty. He felt that there was a nonsense at the entrance of the palace:
"What do you think it should be?"
After the emperor asked, he first looked at the Minister of War, who said sternly: "The body of the regent has not been found, and he is a person who must avenge his grievances. I think it is better not to use violence against his wet nurse, so as not to
There is unnecessary trouble."
After listening, the emperor calmly looked at Eunuch Bingbi, who responded: "Moreover, the Princess Regent is the fourth princess of the Qianglan Kingdom, and she was originally the candidate to succeed the Empress of the Qianglan Kingdom. If the Regent's wet nurse is touched, I'm afraid that
The princess will also..."
Originally, Bian Xiao, whose life or death was uncertain and powerful, was enough to give him a headache. But now when he thought of He Yanyan, the emperor still compromised: "Then order people to send them back and send an imperial doctor to the palace."
Go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.”
"yes!"
After being humiliated by the guards at the door and even beaten with a stick, how could the wet nurse give up when she returned to the house in disgrace?
She asked her servants to apply boiled eggs on her face, and found three or five strong men to drag He Yanyan in from the woodshed. The nanny felt angry when she saw He Yanyan's fearless face.
, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it over.
The porcelain pieces were shattered on the floor, and there were a few blood stains on her face. He Yanyan did not blink, but quietly protected her stomach with her hands, turned her head and glanced at the two people around her: "This
The palace is the regent princess, how can there be any reason for a servant to suppress the master?"
The strong man holding He Yanyan's shoulder was in a dilemma. After all, everyone knew who the real owner of this family was.
But the wet nurse is the one who has the right to speak now, and no one dares to say "no".
He Yanyan's words reminded the wet nurse of the insult she had received in front of the palace. She stepped forward and slapped He Yanyan, and then grabbed the woman's hair:
"Bah! If you, a foreign woman, hadn't captivated the prince's mind, the person sitting in the position of princess now would be my daughter, and you wouldn't have any part in it!"
He Yanyan sneered and spat back: "Yes, if it weren't for that promise, how could I be the princess? I should be the empress of the Qianglan Kingdom in the motherland now, making the entire Rongbian Kingdom crawl.
At my feet!"
"Snapped!"
Another loud slap fell on He Yanyan's face. Just when the wet nurse ordered someone to fetch candles and prepared to use wax oil to destroy her peerless glory, a report came from the door:
"According to the emperor's instructions, the imperial physician in the palace came to consult with everyone in the palace. This..."
The boy at the door looked at the tense nanny and the contemptuous princess, not knowing whose order to follow.
With a chuckle, He Yanyan raised her head slightly: "Xuan. Waiting in the side room."
No matter how arrogant the wet nurse is, she is just a rough servant who doesn't understand the rules of the palace.
When she heard that the servants had come to report, she even panicked a little.
He Yanyan sees all the women's little thoughts, but now that she is inconvenient, she really has no way to see the imperial doctor. But if she doesn't see him, the emperor will know about the palace's current defeat, and maybe the latter will fight him.
What an idea.
"Hel me up."
"..."
Zhi Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help He Yanyan up. She glanced at the nanny with some worry, and at this time the old woman could only stare at her fiercely.
He Yanyan thought of an idea and turned around and ordered: "You put up a screen in the side hall. I, the most prestigious servant in the palace, will receive the imperial doctor. This can be regarded as showing our regent's loyalty to the emperor.
"
The most honorable servant?
Isn't that the nanny?
The nanny yelled angrily: "What idea did you make first? I tell you, it's not your turn to make the decision in this palace."
"I'm afraid that if you make the decision, everyone in the palace will be executed soon."
"..."
He Yanyan knew that the emperor must have had murderous intentions towards the regent, otherwise he would not have kept his mourning secret. If she wanted to survive, she had to protect the palace while her personal bodyguards returned to the country to report the news, otherwise she would also
die abroad.
Seeing that the wet nurse was silent, He Yanyan waved her hand: "Why don't you go and invite me soon?"
