The carriage entered through the back door and stopped all the way into the yard.
Mingwei heard Ah Wan scolding: "What are you doing standing here? Everything is fine, right? Let's go, let's go! Your Highness doesn't need you here!"
Yang Shu said: "There are eyes everywhere in this palace, so we have to let Ah Wan come back and play the villain."
Mingwei smiled slightly: "This job is suitable for her."
The palace has regulations, and the officials and guards all have grades. Since he has been knighted, these cannot be lost.
The guards were okay. Yang Shu originally had family generals who had to leave positions. However, those subordinate officials were assigned by the imperial court, and the servants and palace servants who served him were also transferred.
Who knows where these people come from? So, even though he opened the palace and it will be his own territory from now on, in fact, he is under close surveillance, and the entire palace is as transparent as a sieve...
Of course the eyeliner needs to be cleaned, but it can't be done too obviously, it can only be done little by little.
Ah Wan is currently clearing out the people in the inner courtyard. After finishing the work here, we will gradually clear up the people outside and replace them.
"Come." Yang Shu personally took her hand and took her out of the car.
This is somewhat meant to show others.
After all, in everyone's eyes, the current His Highness the King of Yue is such a person who is addicted to emotions and is fascinated by a woman.
Previously, Yang Shu had made great achievements in the northwest and was hotly discussed by the people. If there were nothing else to distract him, I am afraid that the discussion would continue for a while.
Now, when people think of the newly crowned King of Yue, the first thing that comes to mind is the selection of concubines by lot, and then the fact that he was demoted from the capital and returned to the capital for meritorious service.
Yang Shu was happy to play such a role, lest that petty person miss him.
After entering the house, no one else was present. Yang Shu picked her up, pressed her against the door, and started chewing her.
They haven't been intimate for a long time. Ever since they returned to Beijing, even their meetings have been secretive. You can't do this kind of thing in Ning Xiu's house, right?
Mingwei pushed him: "There is still business..."
"I've sent someone to call Senior Brother, I have time." Yang Shu said vaguely, and then came forward.
Mingwei thought that he had just fought with the Tsing Yi talent, and it was the time when the blood was boiling. People's emotions are common, and now he probably couldn't bear it even if he wanted to, so he let him go.
…
Ah Wan sat on the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard, looking over from time to time.
Ah Xuan couldn't hold it back for a moment: "You're a girl, why do you always keep an eye on what's going on in their house?"
Ah Wan was already full of questions, so when he came up to her, she just invited him to discuss: "Hey, there is something that seems a bit strange to you, don't you think?"
"What?"
"Both of them...it's been so long, how come there's no movement at all?"
"What's going on?" Ah Xuan confused her.
"I mean..." Ah Wan glanced at his stomach.
Ah Xuan understood, but was not convinced: "Why are you looking at my belly? I can't give birth to a baby."
"Don't worry about these details!" Ah Wan said, "Don't you think it's strange? I didn't see her taking any medicine!"
"She took medicine and she still let you know?"
"Please, in Gaotang, I take care of everything in the castle. If she wants to take medicine, can she hide it from me?"
Ah Xuan thinks about it too.
"Maybe there are other ways." He said vaguely, "If you don't want a baby, taking medicine is not the only way."
Ah Wan shook his head: "I specifically read the book and asked people, but none of those methods are safe. Besides, at your age, His Highness, it's hard to control your reasoning. You are similar to His Highness, so think about it for yourself."
Ah Xuan thought for a while and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Why should I discuss such a topic with you? Not only His Highness's affairs in the house, but also asking me... don't you feel embarrassed?"
Ah Wan looked upright: "I'm discussing this from a doctor's perspective. What's so embarrassing?"
"..."
"Anyway, it's too strange. I took her pulse and didn't find anything wrong. Could it be that I didn't notice it before? Well, let's find another chance..."
Ah Wan has fallen into a state of talking to herself.
Ah Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why are you so curious about this matter? They are not married yet, so it would be bad if something happens, right? By then, Miss Ming's reputation will be damaged, and His Highness's face will be tarnished."
"Gee, I just want to find out!"
At first, Ah Wan just hoped that something would happen to them, so that her son would not remain unnamed. But the more she explored the matter, the more curious she became.
There is no reason! How could a man and woman in their prime, with so much energy, fail to produce a baby for so long? Contraception is not that safe, right? It was a challenge to her medical skills!
No, we must find a way to figure it out.
When Ning Xiu arrived, it was already dark.
He ate and sat in the room for a while before he saw Yang Shu who had just taken a bath.
"Is this what you mean by being in a hurry?" Ning Xiu looked at him sideways.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly, senior brother!" Yang Shu was very thick-skinned and had no influence at all.
"Haha." Ning Xiu didn't want to talk to him. He didn't have any errands at the moment. He was playing the piano in the back mountain of Xuandu Temple every day and studying Taoism. No matter how slow he was, how could he be so slow?
It's better to have something really important, otherwise, Master will have to forgive him.
"Mr. Ning." Mingwei opened the door and came in.
In a room, Yang Shu not only stepped forward to pick her up, but also kept asking: "Didn't I tell you to sleep a little longer? Why are you up now? Are you hungry? Ah Wan, bring the food here!"
Then he said to Ning Xiu: "We are all our own people. Senior brother, you don't mind eating while talking, right?"
Ning Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth. Is it too late for him to say he minds now?
Ah Wan personally delivered the food.
Yang Shu told her: "You guys have to guard, tonight's matter is very important."
Ah Wan agreed, looked around Mingwei's belly, and went out.
Fortunately, Mingwei was kind enough and explained the matter in general first.
Ning Xiu frowned: "That person's inheritance is the same as yours?"
"To be precise, the same as us." Mingwei pointed, "Me, you, and him."
Seeing her pointing at all three people, Ning Xiu fell silent.
After knowing each other for so long, he knew that his inheritance was very similar to Mingwei's. But Yang Shu followed a completely different path from them, and he was actually the same as that person?
Yang Shu interjected: "His method of using an umbrella is similar to mine. You know, the reason why I learned the Umbrella Sword is because this is how my master taught me. There are many people who use swords in this world, and those who use umbrellas
But there are only a handful of people, so it’s hard for people to believe it is just a coincidence.”
Ning Xiu nodded slightly: "Yes."
Umbrellas are very rare as weapons. Two people who use umbrellas in the same way use the same method. Coincidence is not enough to explain it.
After Mingwei finished eating, he pushed the bowl and said: "Mr. Ning, there is something that I have been keeping in my heart for a long time, but I have never said it because I have no proof. Now that something like this has happened, I think it is better to communicate with you.
It’s better to do it once.”
Looking at her solemn look, it seemed that this matter was very important, and Ning Xiu had to pay attention to it: "What is it?" (To be continued)
