Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The sky was still clear just now, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds.

Immediately afterwards there was lightning and thunder, and bean-sized raindrops hit the ground hard.

The banana leaves outside the window were rattled by the rain.

The house was stuffy and hot, and Mrs. He ordered all the windows to be opened.

The wind poured in with rain, blowing away a little bit of heat.

But the air was still damp, as if the pores on his body were clogged, making him uncomfortable.

Siyun kept shaking his fan to help Princess Zhao.

Seeing beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, Hua Manman said to her.

"You take a break, I'll go outside to get some air."

Seeing that Hua Manman was about to get up, He Shi and Siyun hurried over to help her.

Hua Manman was helped to the door.

He persuaded: "It's raining too much outside, you'll get wet when you go out, just stand here, it's quite cool here."

Hua Manman looked at the world engulfed by continuous rain and fog, and murmured.

"My lord hasn't come back yet."

Knowing that she was worried about King Zhao, He said in a gentle voice.

"The senior executives have already sent someone to drive the carriage to the gate of the palace to pick him up. Don't worry, King Zhao will definitely not be drenched."

Hua Manman frowned slightly.

For some reason, she always had a bad premonition in her heart.

Like something bad is going to happen.

...

Inside the town government.

Princess Rouwan thought of that unbearable past, and her thin body trembled slightly.

There was lightning and thunder outside the door, and heavy rain poured down.

Her skirt was blown by the wind, and her slender body seemed to be blown away by the wind at any moment.

She choked up and spoke.

"I hope you are."

How she wished that Li Ji was the son of Lord Zhen!

But things backfired.

After being touched by the emperor, Princess Rouwan would have nightmares almost every night.

Her mental state is very bad, and she has lost a lot of weight. The Duke of Zhen is so sorry for her that it is too late, so he is naturally not in the mood to do that kind of thing with her.

Until she gradually came out of the shadows, she thought she had forgotten what happened that night.

However, bad news came from heaven that she was pregnant.

Counting the time, the child in her womb could only be the emperor's.

After learning that she was pregnant, she quietly asked people to buy abortion pills.

As a result, a bowl of medicine was poured down, and she passed out because of abdominal pain.

When she woke up, the child in her womb was still there.

She wanted to increase the dose, but Lord Zhen had already found out that she was pregnant.

Duke Zhen didn't know about the relationship between Princess Rouwan and the emperor. He thought the child belonged to him, so he was very happy.

He hugged Princess Rouwan and laughed.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"

Seeing him excited like a child, Princess Rouwan wanted to tell him the truth.

But in the end reason stopped her.

She didn't say anything, she couldn't tell the truth.

She didn't want to expose her most embarrassing side to Duke Zhen.

She doesn't want to lose him.

Lord Zhen Guo stayed by Princess Rouwan's side day and night, took good care of her, and racked his brains to beg her to give up the idea of ​​killing the child.

Princess Rouwan could see that he really wanted this child.

In the end, she relented.

However, it was such a soft heart that made her regret it for the rest of her life.

Princess Rouwan's eyes were red, and she looked at Li Ji with hatred.

That look didn't look like looking at his own son, but more like looking at an enemy.

"The thing I regret the most in my life is that I gave birth to you.

If it wasn't for you, the Duke would not have died. "

Li Ji heard her heart.

Only then did he know the origin of his life experience.

The wind and rain were blowing outside the door, and the candles in the Buddhist hall were flickering.

Li Ji said hoarsely: "Father died because he was ambushed by the enemy army..."

Princess Rouwan asked sharply.

"So what? It was your biological father who killed the Duke.

If he hadn't been afraid of the Duke and refused to send troops to support the Duke, the Duke would not have ended up dead without a whole body!

You, like your biological father, are murderers! "

Li Ji was speechless.

Because of the emotional ups and downs, Princess Rouwan's face became paler and her body shook a little.

She clenched her teeth and tried not to fall down, pointed to the door, and said through gritted teeth.

"You are not worthy to offer incense to the Duke, get out, and you are not allowed to step into the Duke's Mansion again in the future!"

Li Ji silently took steps, and walked out step by step.

The wind and rain outside the Buddhist hall were precarious.

He stepped out without an umbrella, and the icy wind and rain rushed in, engulfing him whole.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind.

"Princess! What's wrong with you, Princess?"

Li Ji stopped, turned around and looked back, and saw Princess Rouwan lying on the ground, unconscious.

Several servants surrounded Princess Rouwan, running around anxiously.

Li Ji walked back quickly and pushed away the servants who were in the way.

He picked up Princess Rouwan on his back, strode towards the bedroom, and shouted at the servants at the same time.

"Go call the doctor!"

Princess Rouwan was put on the bed.

Soon the government doctor hurried over.

The government doctor said that the princess had an old problem and needed acupuncture.

Li Ji and the others withdrew, leaving only the doctor, two maids, and a nun in the room.

The clouds were heavy and the sky was dark.

The wind is gradually decreasing, but the rain is still unabated.

Li Ji stood alone on the porch, looking at the sycamore tree in the courtyard in a daze.

There are still a few crooked horizontal lines remaining on the thick trunk.

When he was young, he always hoped that he would grow up quickly, and asked his father to help him draw a horizontal path on the trunk of the sycamore tree every year on his birthday.

Year after year, there were more and more crosswalks on the trunk, and he grew taller.

In the past, whenever he saw a crossing on a tree, he would proudly say to his father.

"I'm already an adult. If you don't believe me, look at the horizontal path on the tree. I've grown so much taller!"

Every time he heard such words, Duke Zhen would always laugh heartily.

However, at this moment, Li Ji could only hear the sound of pattering rain.

The rain fell down the tree trunk like crystal teardrops.

Nanny Zhang sent the doctor out, just in time to see King Zhao standing in the corridor.

The government doctor bowed his hands towards King Zhao.

Li Ji looked at him: "How is it?"

The government doctor hesitated.

Li Ji: "If you have something to say, just say it, there is no need to hide it."

Doctor: "Then the old man just said that the princess is in a very bad condition now. She neither eats well nor takes medicine. She is immersed in the memories of the past all day long, and she is depressed in her chest. If it continues like this , sooner or later something big will happen.”

Li Ji didn't speak any more.

The government doctor silently resigned and left.

Nanny Zhang looked at King Zhao and asked cautiously.

"Do you want to go in and see the princess?"

Li Ji: "No need."

Presumably she didn't want to see him again.

Nanny Zhang sighed.

"My own mother and son, how did you get into trouble like this?"

Li Ji did not explain.

He strode into the rain and fog, and left the Zhen Guogong's mansion alone.
