Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman yawned: "I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep, His Highness King Wu Zhang, please go back early and rest."

Qinghuan stepped forward and helped her stand up.

Li Ying looked at her stomach and asked, "You should give birth soon, right?"

Hua Manman: "Well, there is still about a month."

She touched her stomach, thinking of the baby who was about to be born, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

That smile was too sweet, making Li Ying jealous.

The woman he likes wants to give birth to another man.

He wished he could kill the child in her belly.

But he knew it in his heart.

If he really did this, Hua Manman would hate him to death.

Li Ying took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and said coldly.

"King Zhao may not be able to come back in time."

Hua Manman: "I know, it's a pity that he can't come back in time, but there's nothing I can do about it. Anyway, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and my pregnancy should be fine."

When she said this, she took a special look at Li Ying.

"You shouldn't keep me in the palace forever, right? The palace didn't prepare a stable wife and delivery room for me."

Li Ying: "There are nurses and imperial physicians in the palace who are in charge of giving birth. I will let them deliver the baby for you."

Hua Manman frowned: "Are you really planning to keep me locked up in the palace?"

Li Ying looked at her deeply: "I gave you the chance to leave before, but you didn't want to leave, so you can't blame me."

Hua was speechless.

It's really her fault.

Li Ying stood up and said, "Since you've already settled down here, you should live well. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll let someone arrange it for you."

Hua Manman: "Can I go shopping tomorrow?"

Li Ying: "You can't run around alone, let me go shopping with you when I go down tomorrow."

Hua Manman accepted it as soon as it was ready, and nodded in response.

When Li Ying walked to the door, he saw that everything was empty and there was no one in sight.

He remembered what Hua Manman said before, that there are indeed haunted legends in Chaoyang Palace, and now only two young girls, Hua Manman and Qinghuan live here, what if something strange happens? Especially since Hua Manman is still pregnant, it would be bad if she was scared out of her wits.

Li Ying stopped, turned her head and said to Hua Manman.

"I will arrange a few people to come and serve you later. If you have anything to do, just ask them to do it."

Hua Manman refused without hesitation: "Thank you, no, I don't like too many people, I have a green ring and that's enough."

Li Ying frowned: "Aren't you afraid of being haunted?"

Hua Manman rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell on the saber at his waist.

"I'm really terrified of ghosts.

Why don't you lend me your saber, it is said that the weapon has its own evil spirit.

Especially for a person in a high position like you, the evil spirit on the sword is even heavier.

I hang it on the wall, even if it is really evil, it will be scared away. "

Li Ying looked down at the saber on his waist, without hesitation, he untied it casually.

"Give you."

Hua Manman didn't expect him to agree so readily, and couldn't help being startled.

"Aren't you afraid that I will do bad things with your sword?"

Li Ying: "It's okay, no matter what bad things you do, I can cover it for you."

Hua Manman was speechless.

She has always been a soft-hearted person, and Li Ying's attitude made her feel a faint sense of guilt.

She walked over, took the saber from his hand, and said half-jokingly.

"What if I use this sword to kill Wu Wang? Can you also protect me?"

Li Ying stated calmly: "You can't kill him."

Hua Manman raised her eyebrows: "You look down on me?"

Li Ying responded calmly.

"It's a fact, he has a meticulous mind and strong martial arts, you are no match for him.

If I were you, I wouldn't provoke him unless I had the ability to protect my own safety. "

Hua Manman: "Is this your advice to me?"

Li Ying gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes."

Hua Manman smiled: "Thank you for your advice."

After Li Ying left, Hua Manman casually threw the sword to Qinghuan.

Qinghuan pulled out the blade, looked at it, and praised: "Good sword."

Hua Manman: "I'll take it for your self-defense."

When they entered the palace, they didn't bring anything, not even a weapon for self-defense. This sword just gave them a sense of security.

Qinghuan sheathed her sword and asked in a low voice.

"When shall we... act?"

Hua Manman glanced at the night outside: "Wait a little longer, wait until everyone in the palace is asleep before doing anything."

"Here."

Qinghuan put away her sword, rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up the dishes.

Hua Manman stood alone on the porch, the night wind blew her skirt, and the fringe hanging from her waist swayed slightly.

Ahead is a closed door.

She took down the lantern hanging beside the door, turned her head and said something to Qinghuan.

"I'm going for a walk in the yard."

Qinghuan said hello.

Hua Manman walked down the steps with the lamp building in hand, and walked slowly along the flat bluestone road to the gate.

She put down the lantern and pulled the door open with all her strength. The Habayashi guards outside the door immediately turned their heads and looked at her in unison.

One of the Habayashi guards asked.

"Is the princess going out?"

Hua Manman asked instead, "Can I go out?"

The other party answered truthfully: "No."

Hua Manman sighed, as if disappointed.

"let it go."

She closed the door again.

The sight of the Habayashi guards was blocked by the gate.

Hua Manman picked up the lantern and walked back, thinking that someone was guarding the door.

When Qinghuan heard the door opening and closing outside, she quickly put down what she was doing and ran out, asking with concern.

"Princess, what happened...?"

Hua Manman: "It's nothing, I just want to see if there is anyone outside the door."

She simply washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

In the middle of the night, Qinghuan woke her up in a low voice.

"Princess, it's almost time..."

Hua Manman grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, and yawned big.

Her mind was still a little confused, until she opened the door and walked out, and was blown head-on by the night wind, and she suddenly became sober.

Qinghuan had already changed into dark clothes for easy movement, with a sword pinned to her waist, as if she could move at any time.

"Slaves, now... let's go?"

Hua Manman said, "Give me the sword."

Qinghuan took off the saber obediently and put it in her hand gently.

Hua Manman: "You wait here, I'll bring you something."

She entered the house with her sword in hand, and was soon gone and returned.

When she came back, the saber in her hand was gone, replaced by a cloth bag.

When Qinghuan saw the cloth bag, she was very puzzled.

Hua Manman stuffed the cloth bag to her, explained in a low voice, and finally asked.

"Do you understand?"

"Um."

Hua Manman patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go, be careful all the way."
