Chapter 221

"My lord, you are back."

Just as Lin Yunwan closed her eyes to rest for a while, she heard movement outside.

Unexpectedly, it was Qi Lingheng who came back!

He bent down, helped Lin Yunwan sit up without saying a word, and said softly, "I'm back."

"There was some trouble in a remote county town, and a few were killed...then it was delayed."

Qi Lingheng wanted to explain why he came back so late, and he didn't want to say bloody things in front of her.

Lin Yunwan understood in her heart.

Didn't someone almost die outside the city gate?

"I've worked hard for you these past few days, Yun Wan, I'll take you back."

Lin Yunwan was still a little worried, she hurriedly said: "When you were away, I used your private seal, and now there are some in Jiangqian's government office..."

"I know."

Qi Lingheng took a thick cloak worn by Lin Yunwan, put it on and tied it on her, and lowered his eyes and said: "I heard about it on the way back, don't worry, I will deal with some first."

"Now is not the time to take care of them one by one. When the victims are resettled..."

There was a cold light in his eyes.

Lin Yunwan smiled slightly and took his hand.

Qi Lingheng said softly: "I'll take you back first."

Lin Yunwan didn't want to hold back, so she said: "My lord, you can stay here and sit in charge, I can go back by myself."

Qi Lingheng insisted on sending her off.

"There is no shortage of people here to preside over the overall situation, but I... am your husband, the father of your child."

He cannot put his wife and children behind.

Lin Yunwan felt at ease in her heart, she nodded, told the maids to pack up their things, and went back to Prince Huan's mansion together.

She was really tired, after taking a bath, she fell asleep on the bed, and slept until noon the next day.

Seeing that she woke up, Cuiqin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're finally awake!"

Scared her to death!

Lin Yunwan only knew how long she had slept after asking the time.

She rubbed her belly and said, "It's rare that this kid didn't kick me."

She is due to give birth in about two months. She often does not sleep well, but last night she had a good night's sleep.

Cuiqin fetched water to help Lin Yunwan wash up, and said with a smile: "My little son also knows your hard work, and loves you."

Lin Yunwan smiled: "How do you know it's the prince. What if it's a girl?"

Cuiqin said: "This servant has a dream, and he is a young man."

She was overjoyed, and felt that the master must give birth to a small son.

Lin Yunwan was very hungry, so she hurried to have lunch, she wanted Cuiqin to go out and ask, but Qi Lingheng would not come back at night.

Cuiqin said: "My lord came back to see you in the morning and saw that you were not awake, so he left without drinking tea. He said that he might not come back tonight."

Lin Yunwan also thought that Qi Lingheng would not return.

Thinking of those people outside the city gate and the disaster relief, she was no longer bothered. With Qi Lingheng's ability and status, the situation would only get better, not worse.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yunwan had already fallen asleep, but Qi Lingheng returned.

He came back quietly and took a look at Lin Yunwan, seeing that her arms were not put into the quilt, he gently put them back for her.

When she came out, she told Cuiqin: "Don't tell the princess."

Cuiqin said softly: "Yes."

The next day, Lin Yunwan felt that someone came in in the middle of the night, but she had already told Cuiqin that she hadn't told her not to disturb her at night.

So she doesn't have a maid to serve her at night.

Lin Yunwan frowned and asked, "Did the prince come back last night?"

Cuiqin smiled and said, "My lord came back to see you in the middle of the night and left."

She brought Lin Yunwan an anti-fetal medicine.

Lin Yunwan pursed her lips and smiled, and drank the medicine unhurriedly.

On the day when Qi Lingheng came back to rest, Lin Yunwan ate and took a walk with him, and she only knew about his coming back in the middle of the night.

Qi Lingheng held her hand and said, "If I don't come back, some people won't even cover themselves with quilts."

"Did I kick the quilt?"

Lin Yunwan didn't believe it, she smiled and said: "I don't have this habit, so don't coax me."

"You didn't kick the quilt, you slept honestly. But your arms always like to hang out."

This is true...

Lin Yunwan smiled: "You have been pampered since childhood, and you also take care of others?"

Qi Lingheng looked at her and asked, "When did you learn to take care of people?"

"Of course it starts with taking care of my parents and younger brother."

When her father fell ill, Lin Yunwan was the first to assume the responsibility of being the eldest daughter.

Qi Lingheng smiled and said: "I also have parents and relatives."

Lin Yunwan was slightly lost in thought.

As long as you have the heart, even if you are a royal family, you will love others.

Lin Yunwan's delivery date was in September, and the palace sent several imperial doctors over in advance, including two gynecologists.

She asked the imperial physician to take Xiruo's pulse too.

"It's the joy pulse."

Xiruo also has it.

Lin Yunwan was too heavy to get up, so she asked Cuiqin to send the imperial doctor out and gave her some rewards.

She also urged Xiruo: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back and tell your husband?"

Xi Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "My lord summoned Jiang Qian and provincial officials to discuss rewards and punishments today, and my husband will not come back so soon."

Lin Yunwan thought for a while.

She didn't listen to Qi Lingheng's talk about rewarding and punishing officials.

Don't know what he will do.

Jiangqian government office.

Civil and military officials sat together.

Qi Lingheng is the presiding judge, and the adjutant is the chief of the two divisions, the procuratorial envoy and the prosecuting envoy.

The case that the vassal king and the two divisions jointly tried was very complicated. After nine consecutive days of trial, the first trial was decided.

Officials chattered.

"This is more than a reward for meritorious deeds, it is clearly... clearly..."

It is to protect Princess Huan!

Those who acted according to orders at that time were all rewarded, and those who disobeyed the order of the princess and spread rumors to make troubles should be arrested and demoted.

"Don't talk nonsense. If the prince rewarded you, then you did a good job. If the prince punished you, that's also solid evidence."

In short, the results of the preliminary examination could not find a big mistake.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Huan is extremely protective of Princess Huan.

"I don't think Prince Huan is a selfish person, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the concubine's father."

The Qingshui yamen where Lin Huabin works failed to keep his responsibilities, and the entire yamen was fined. His evaluation for the next three years is out of the question.

After the result of the preliminary trial, he still wanted to talk to Qi Lingheng.

Qi Lingheng was followed by officials from the two provincial divisions, and Lin Huabin couldn't get in.

Although he is "father-in-law", he is just an unknown official in the officialdom. Seeing King Huan go farther and farther, he lowered his head and sighed.

His father-in-law was...

There is only loss, no gain.

"My lord, the dossier of the preliminary trial was handed over to the capital just like this."

The chief envoys are all respectful.

Qi Lingheng nodded, his face was gentle but not smiling, as if he was thinking about something.

The two Dusi looked at each other, wondering if the prince is... Is there any dissatisfaction?

They were beating drums in their hearts and did not dare to take it lightly.

Ah Fu came over and whispered something in Qi Lingheng's ear, Qi Lingheng's expression changed, he hurriedly greeted the two captains and left.

Both of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

"My lord, this is..."

Ah Fu told them: "The princess has given birth!" He rushed to chase back, and said to the two captains: "Please go ahead, my lords, I will go back to the mansion first."

The two chiefs were very polite: "You go."

Ah Fu disappeared, and the two captains heaved a sigh of relief.

The chief envoy, Du Si, wiped off his cold sweat, and said: "...I said that when the final trial was concluded, the prince always nodded."

"It turned out to be about the birth of the princess."

Du Si, the procurator for the punishment, patted his colleague on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's a false alarm, a false alarm."
