More than an hour later, the banquet in Yueming Hall ended in a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
Just like when they arrived, Ahudala was responsible for sending the four Chaiyans out of the palace and back to their homes in the city.
Perhaps because he was too happy, the king couldn't help but drink a little too much. When he left Yueming Palace, he had to be supported when walking.
Karuga was in good condition, but his face was a little red, and he was not even tipsy.
"You guys, please take His Majesty back to the palace carefully and serve him attentively," Karugala ordered.
The king's attendants immediately agreed, then carefully helped the king get into the sedan chair, and then left the Yueming Palace.
As soon as the king was sent away, the eldest princess Ji Ying walked out from the side.
"Husband..." Ji Ying called.
Karugala turned around and said, "Oh, it's Madam."
Ji Ying stepped forward and asked with concern: "Husband, you didn't drink too much, did you?"
Karugala shook his head and said: "How could it be possible? You know that I am not very keen on drinking. If it weren't for my father's request, I wouldn't even want to touch a drop of wine."
Ji Ying smiled and nodded: "Husband, I saw you didn't talk much during the dinner just now. Are you thinking about something?"
Karukala moved his fat body to the corridor, looked at the green trees in front of him and said: "Madam, I was wrong before. I should not underestimate the martial sacred water. I underestimated its effect."
"Forget it, husband, don't think about this anymore. In fact, judging from the current results, it is also very good. After all, with the help of the Martial Holy Water, the Qingyuan Pass is much more stable. Look how happy my father was just now
It's been a long time since he looked like this." Ji Ying said.
Karukala nodded slightly and remained silent for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Kalugala suddenly asked: "By the way, Madam, what did you and Gianna Lisser talk about just now?"
During the dinner just now, not only Ji Ying paid attention to the situation on Karukala's side, but Karukala was also paying attention to their activities.
"Oh, I'm talking to her about the four female guards." Ji Ying replied.
Karukala then asked: "Talk about them? What did they talk about? Let's hear it..."
Ji Ying paused and said: "Jiana Lisser told me just now that we actually contacted the four female guards first, and she and Ahu didn't know about it at the beginning. It was when the contract was signed later.
Master Han just told her..."
"Oh, that's right." Karugala couldn't help but smile.
Ji Ying continued: "She also said that if she had known in advance, she and Ahu would never have hired those four people, but the contract had already been signed by then, and it was in the way of Master Han's face. As the second prince and concubine,
It was hard to go back on her word. Later, she apologized to me, and I couldn't say anything at that time, so I casually gave her a few words of forgiveness."
Kaluga said: "Ahu is indeed married to a good and virtuous wife, and her handling of things is impeccable. If we continue to be stubborn, it will make our little family angry if word spreads."
"Yes. Jiana Lisser is indeed good at pleasing people. When I was chatting with her just now, I knew that she was deliberately trying to please you and win over you, but her words were not annoying or annoying. Listen to her.
It feels very comfortable." Ji Ying said.
"Let's not talk about these things for now, let's talk about business..." Karugala shook his head slowly and stopped the discussion of Giana Lisser.
Kalugala looked around and whispered: "Madam, Taoist Changsheng just said that once the holy water in his gourd is used up, you can make new one, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong, husband?" Ji Ying looked at Karuga in confusion.
Karugala pulled Ji Ying to his side and whispered in her ear: "Let's find a way to secretly get the recipe for brewing the martial sacred water. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Ji Ying was suddenly shocked and stared at Karugala in shock.
"Ah what?" Karuga said: "Don't you want to hold such a treasure in your hands?"
"But husband, you have also seen that Changsheng Taoist and the others are so powerful. I think this matter... I am afraid this matter will not be easy to handle. Moreover, if one of them angers them,
They abandoned their plans and left, and stopped helping us defend Qingyuan Pass. What will we do?" Ji Ying worried.
Karugala frowned and said in a suppressed voice: "That's why I said this must be done quietly. I didn't say I wanted to rob openly or offend them directly! I'm not stupid..."
"Then...that husband, what should we do?" Ji Ying asked hurriedly.
Karugala rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, and finally said: "There is no rush now. This matter must be considered in the long run. At least we must first see the effect of using the martial holy water to defend the city, and then we can proceed step by step.
Plan carefully."
Ji Ying immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, your husband is right."
After a gust of breeze blew over his face, Kalugala asked again: "By the way, madam, when your sister-in-law was chatting just now, did she show anything unusual?"
Ji Ying thought about it carefully for a while before shaking her head and saying: "It doesn't seem like it. It looks quite normal. You can eat and drink..."
Karugala asked: "Can you drink? Did you drink with her?"
"No, she said that she has been feeling unwell for the past two days and should not drink alcohol, so she only drank tea. I even tried to persuade her to drink a few times, but she didn't drink either," Ji Ying said.
Kalugala asked with a serious face: "Is it Dr. Hu who has been diagnosing her in recent times?"
"Yes, is there a problem, husband?" Ji Ying didn't quite understand why her husband asked these questions.
Kalugala thought for a moment and then instructed: "Madam, please ask someone to go to Dr. Hu later to find out where our sister-in-law is feeling unwell."
"But husband, how dare Dr. Hu say such a thing? It would be very troublesome if His Majesty found out." Ji Ying looked a little anxious.
Kalugala was not afraid of this, and said: "I remember that Dr. Hu has always wanted to be in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital. If he is willing to help, I promise to help him take this seat given by the Taiyuan Hospital."
The so-called imperial hospital order is the highest official position of Muyue Guotai Hospital, which is equivalent to the director of future generations.
Ji Ying was surprised and said: "Husband, have you noticed something? You are actually willing to spend so much effort on Dr. Hu."
Karukala's voice suddenly turned cold and he asked, "Madam, aren't you worried that she will get pregnant before you?"
Ji Ying was taken aback and was stunned for a moment before saying: "Husband, you mean, she, she...she has something in her belly?"
Karugala said in a deep voice: "Madam, madam, you should use your brain more. Have you ever thought about why Ahu suddenly hired four female guards for her, and why she didn't drink alcohol when she was so good?
Why did she come to everything on horseback and hunting before, but in the past two months, she has changed her temper and can stay at home from dawn to dark without leaving the door? "
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that?" Ji Ying's expression changed drastically in an instant.
Karugala's expression became more serious. Suddenly, he pulled his wife close, his big belly pressed against Ji Ying's body, his mouth slowly came close to her ear, and said: "Madam, you should know very well that if
Gianna Lise gave birth to a son before you, so your husband and I may not be able to inherit the throne!"
Hearing this, the pressure and urgency in Ji Ying's heart suddenly increased. She frowned deeply for a long time without making a sound.
Karugala slowly let go of Ji Ying, then turned around and walked away for two steps, turning his back to her and letting out a long sigh.
As soon as Ji Ying heard the sigh, she turned away, stared at the back of Karugala's head dissatisfied, and thought to herself: Can you blame me for not being able to conceive a child?
