The powerful prince and princess who dotes on the world is pregnant again

The gift given by the Imperial Master to Prince Xiu's Mansion attracted the attention of many people.

Even Xia Zixing himself was confused.

After Medical Saint Qiu Shui returned to the capital, he met Xia Zixing.

"I left the capital and headed north. I was chased and killed on the way. Qin Ming and I didn't know which sect we were from,"

"Chasing you?" Xia Zixing asked,

Qiu Shui knew what she meant, "It was me. Qin Ming appeared from behind. He followed me all the way away."

Qiu Shui has never had any enemies in her life, so why would anyone pursue her?

"Later, a person who called us aunt rescued us, took us in for more than a month, and helped us heal our injuries."

"aunt?"

"Yes, he looks about forty years old. He is very powerful. Qin Ming and I can't cure the poison I was poisoned, but she can."

"Then why did you and Qin Ming return to the capital this time?"

Xia Zixing asked, she was very doubtful about this aunt's identity.

"My aunt asked me to come. She said you need us," Qiu Shui said. When she asked her aunt if she wanted to return to Princess Xiu, her aunt didn't say clearly. It was just Qiu Shui who thought so.

Because in the capital, Qiu Shui is only related to Xia Zixing's family.

"Can you still go back to that place?" Xia Zixing asked. If possible, she would like to meet this aunt in person.

"Hey, it's strange to say, I know how we got out, but when we woke up, we were already on the road."

Xia Zixing:......

So amazing?

Qiu Shui didn't agree to live in Prince Xiu's Mansion, so Xia Zixing arranged a small courtyard for her outside, not far from Prince Xiu's Mansion.

When Medical Saint Qiu Shui came back, apart from Xia Zixing, there was also an old man who was happy, and that was Mr. Ouyang.

The two of them can study medical skills together again.

Qin Ming forced him to live in Qiu Shui's small courtyard.

Qin Ming went to see his apprentice Huang Guifei.

"Master, you are finally back,"

"Well, I may stay in the capital for a while longer. If you have any questions, you can send someone to leave a message in the previous courtyard,"

Qin Mingdao said that after all, it was a master-apprentice relationship. As long as the imperial concubine did not do anything excessive, he would still help her.

What the imperial concubine was thinking was that when her master came back, he must be here to help her.

"Master, I have arranged for a niece to enter the Prince's Mansion. I haven't thought about the next step yet. I will talk to Master when I have figured it out."

Qin Ming frowned. He did not want to participate in these matters, but he would not refuse the request of his only disciple.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later, but don't harm anyone."

Qin Ming said sternly.

The imperial concubine nodded in agreement to Qin Ming.

In the evening, Xia Zixing talked about Qiu Shui.

"Who do you think this aunt could be?"

Rong Xiu thought about it and realized that he did not know such an expert.

Medical Saint Qiu Shui said a little less, that is, my aunt was meditating in her room wearing a Taoist robe.

If Xia Zixing heard this, he would definitely guess that it was his master.

It's a pity that I missed it.

"No matter who she is, she won't be harmful to you. Otherwise, why would she ask the Medical Saint to come back to help you?"

Rong Xiu said warmly, no matter who it is, as long as it doesn't harm them, it's worth paying.

Rong Xiu lowered his head, "But, why did this person ask the Medical Saint to help you?"

The meaning of this is obvious, Xia Zixing needs help only if something happens here.

But what could happen to Xia Zixing now?

Rong Xiu thought deeply. He didn't allow Xia Zixing to make any mistakes, so he had to consider all possibilities.

Xia Zixing's eyebrows tightened, "I don't know. Nothing happened in the past six months. It seems that everything has calmed down."

But often behind such calm, there is a deadly conspiracy being planned.

On this day, Zheng Qiang, the Marquis of Anping, came to Prince Xiu’s Mansion to find Prince Xiu.

Uncle Chen invited people in.

"King Xiu,"

"Why is uncle here? Is there something wrong?" Rong Xiu stood up and asked,

Zheng Qiang works in the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for engineering, construction, water conservancy, farming, craftsmen, transportation, etc.

"Today in the morning, the emperor mentioned the construction of a river channel out of the city. I came to ask if the prince knows about this?"

Rong Xiu looked at Zheng Qiang, he didn't know about this yet.

"I don't know why Licheng suddenly opened a river channel? I have never heard of it mentioned before,"

"Prince Ding mentioned it. Prince Bao said that he has lived in Licheng for many years and has a good understanding of Licheng's topography. Licheng needs to add a river to facilitate the people of Licheng to use water."

"Emperor Ren left this matter to me. I have never been to Licheng. I remember that King Xiu has been to Licheng, so I came to ask,"

"It seems that my uncle needs to go to Li City to check this matter in person. The last time I went there, I went in a hurry and was not very familiar with the situation in Li City."

Zheng Qiang nodded, "In this case, I have no choice but to go there in person. Opening a river channel is a big project. Once it is started, it will waste people and money."

There is no way around it. If, as Prince Ding said, there is a lack of waterway from the city, then it must be opened for the sake of the people in the city.

"Well, uncle will go in person. Be careful on the way and bring more people with you."

Xia Zixing heard that his uncle was here, so he came over to take a look.

As a result, Zheng Qiang has left.

"Why don't you keep uncle here to eat?"

"Uncle is busy and may have to leave the city."

"Why go?"

Rong Xiu briefly explained the matter, and the matter needed to be considered again. Prince Bao suddenly had such a thing, which made everyone a little confused.

"Send Lu Er to go and have a look,"

Rong Xiu chuckled, "Are you worried that something might happen to your uncle?"

Yuerong Kingdom was established hundreds of years ago, and Licheng has existed for hundreds of years. Why is it proposed to open a river channel now, when it was not used before?

Or is it that Prince Bao has a unique vision and he should open it if he feels it is necessary?

It's no wonder that Xia Zixing thought badly of this little uncle Wang. It was actually a bit strange that this happened. With Xia Zixing's shrewd mind, she felt that there must be something fishy in this.

Two days later, Emperor Ren issued an order to ask the Minister of Industry to go to the city to survey the river in person.

Asking a minister to go in person already reflects the caution of the benevolent Emperor.

Emperor Ren also knew that opening river channels was no small matter.

Zheng Qiang received the imperial edict and took people out the next day.

At the same time, Lu Er also followed.

Zheng Qiang brought three people, plus Lu Er, a total of five people.

It's summer now, and most of the roads leading out of the city are main roads, and it's extremely hot all the way.

Zheng Qiang led the team. Although he knew it would be very hot, he did not expect it to be so hot. The water he brought every day was not enough to drink.

"Looking at the situation, it's not suitable for walking during the day. Let's walk at night."

Zheng Qiang wiped the sweat from his face and grinned.

Others nodded, it was easy to get heat stroke while traveling during the day.

A few people entered a simple inn and asked for three rooms to rest, hoping to wait until the sun went down before setting off.

Lu Er and Zheng Qiang share a room.

Lu Er's purpose is to protect Zheng Qiang's safety. Xia Zixing and Lu Er have already analyzed various possible situations of this outing.

Lu Er heard this at the time and felt that the princess might be overthinking it. This was a matter for the court and it was normal to go out to do things.

But since leaving the capital, Lu Er's nerves have been tense along the way.

He felt that the princess' prediction might be right, and this outing might not be peaceful.
