She originally thought that the two people would be surprised. After all, her previous appearance and behavior did not look like she was about to become a mother. However, the two people just looked at each other indifferently, seeming to be concerned about her pregnancy.
It's not surprising at all.
Jiang Wu said: "To be honest, I only had speculations about this before, but now that you have spoken out, I'm not surprised."
This time it was Liu Xiuer's turn to be surprised, "I have never told anyone about it, how did you two know about it?"
Fu Heng said: "The furnishings in your room are all too short, and when you stand, you will inadvertently protect your stomach."
Only pregnant women will protect their belly unintentionally. This is because of their subconscious behavior. Even if the baby is not very old, their natural maternal instinct will prompt them to do so.
Jiang Wu said: "Well... I just have intuition."
Liu Xiuer wondered: "Can this still be intuitive?"
What Jiang Wu didn't say was that she had seen many people in her previous life. People who were pregnant were different from others. Even those who were not pregnant yet, like Liu Xiuer, would inevitably show a hint of fatigue. This fatigue
It couldn't be covered up with makeup, and the fruit that the maid was carrying at that time was a bit sour this season, but she still ate it with gusto.
Liu Xiuer no longer dwelled on this topic, but said seriously: "Master Fu, I will tell the truth today. It is not easy for me to have a child. Now Yang Zhouzheng is dead. If anyone who cares knows that he left behind descendants,
I will definitely not let our mother and son go. I don’t ask for adults to protect me for the rest of my life. I just want to find a place for me to go for the time being so that I can give birth to my child safely.”
She used to live in a brothel and drank too much Juezi soup in her early years. After being accepted as a concubine by Yang Zhouzheng, she didn't have this idea at first. After all, Yang Zhouzheng was already old, and secondly, he was very romantic. Although he was
He dotes on her the most, but the two of them don't really spend many days in the same room.
But Yang Zhouzheng has never had any descendants, and he doesn't know why.
Until three months ago, Liu Xiuer suddenly found out that she was pregnant. She told Yang Zhouzheng immediately. He was naturally overjoyed. It is not easy to have a child in old age, so he went to the Maohua Garden with all kinds of delicacies and supplements.
Liu Xiuer is also smart. Women in the backyard have never been separated from the word jealousy. She hid this matter very well. Only she and Yang Zhouzheng knew about it.
As a result, Yang Zhouzheng died suddenly, and she had no support in an instant.
Liu Xiuer said: "It was only after that that I learned about the deer youcao and that he put the deer youcao in a secret room. I didn't have the key to the secret room, but I roughly knew where the entrance was."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up: "Where is the entrance?"
Liu Xiuer said softly: "There is a flap under the bed in his bedroom. I am actually not sure about this. I just came to bring him tea once and overheard the conversation between him and his colleagues."
It was one night. Liu Xiuer walked to the door of Yang Zhouzheng's study with the white fungus and lotus seed soup made in the small kitchen. She was about to knock on the door when she heard the sound of conversation coming from inside. At first, she thought it was Yang Zhouzheng's new love, and she felt very sad.
Intrigued, she leaned against the door to eavesdrop, but after hearing the content clearly, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
She heard the other party say: "An infectious disease will break out among the people in the city soon. You should know better than me what to do."
Yang Zhouzheng, who had always been arrogant in front of her, said solemnly: "Okay, how dare I not take seriously what you asked me to do? In just half a month, you can achieve great things."
What kind of big event is it? Yang Zhouzheng is already the prefect. Logically speaking, there may not be a bigger official than him in the entire Huaizhou City, but this person who can make Yang Zhouzheng stoop to this level is definitely not an ordinary person, at least
He must be a first-grade official, but first-grade officials are usually in the capital...
Could it be related to the royal family? Liu Xiuer felt cold sweat break out on her back just thinking about it.
After knowing that she was pregnant, she restrained a lot of her sharpness and did not want more wealth. Although Yang Zhouzheng was older, she never thought about being the wife of the wife. Now she is living a harmonious and beautiful life, but Yang Zhouzheng is
If Zhou Zheng went out and caused some trouble, it would be troublesome for her.
She also tried to persuade him in a subtle way, but he persisted in going his own way, even to the point of death.
She had no feelings for Yang Zhouzheng, she just felt sad.
"Although I know the existence of the secret room and the Deer Youcao, I don't know where the key is. The secret room can only be opened with a key. If it is opened forcibly, other mechanisms will be triggered."
Many secret rooms have such mechanisms to prevent their secrets from being discovered by others.
"So our top priority is to find the key first." Jiang Wu murmured.
The other party probably had this purpose in killing Yang Zhouzheng. In the final analysis, it doesn't matter whether Yang Zhouzheng lives or dies. What matters is that the Deer Youcao cannot be used to save the people. Now even Jiang Wu feels that this matter may have something to do with the palace.
The emperor personally assigned Prince An and Fu Heng to deal with this matter. If they don't handle it well, I don't know what will happen to Fu Heng. Prince An will also be affected.
When seizing a direct descendant, anything at any time may become a sharp arrow used by the opponent to attack you.
Liu Xiuer said: "When it comes to this kind of thing, he won't tell me at all. If you want to know, you can only ask the master."
I have only met this master Jiang Wu once, and I remember him as a somewhat skinny person with a very ordinary appearance. He is the kind of person who has a hard time leaving a deep impression on others. In court that day, he spoke very little, and he was a very ordinary person.
It is easy for people to ignore his existence.
"He thinks highly of this master?"
Liu Xiuer nodded: "Yes, the master has followed him since he was a minor official. Yang Zhouzheng will discuss almost all decisions with him. So if there is one person who knows the key to the secret room, it must be the master."
Master...
Under the corridor, the master in a light white Taoist robe stood quietly. White cloth could be seen everywhere in Yang's mansion. In a trance, he seemed to see the once high-spirited Yang Zhouzheng again.
When he was in the imperial examination and high school, he also used to go around and watch the flowers. He was once a young man who rode a horse and leaned on a leaning bridge, and the whole building was full of red sleeves. Later...
He was blinded by money and material desires, and turned himself into what he is now.
"The profits from Deer Youcao are absolutely extraordinary. I just need to let the disasters in the city go for a while and then use them to cure the people. As long as this happens, as long as the people behind me can give me a large sum of money, I have come this far.
