After the imperial doctor gave Shen Qingli a few injections, her condition gradually stabilized.
Finally, there was no danger, and both Bai Zhi and Zhuo Yao breathed a sigh of relief. However, the imperial doctor explained that the pregnant woman was not stable and should not be bumpy. She had to wait for someone from Prince Xuan's Mansion to find a comfortable carriage to take her away before the matter could be settled.
At noon, the slaves of the Zhuo family brought a food box to Zhuo Yao, one for each person. Zhuo Yao generously gave the food box to Bai Zhi, and went to the army to get a meal.
When Zhuo Yao came back from eating, he saw Qi Qi and Bai Zhi eating together, with displeased expressions on their faces. If he had known better, he would have eaten with her, and he would have given this bald boy an advantage!
Throwing the big cake he brought back to Shi Qi, he said displeasedly: "The servants eat with the master. Is this the rule of your Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Shi Qiyi was not happy to hear this, "Sister Princess Princess asked me to eat with you, what does that have to do with you?"
Zhuo Yao got excited and sneered, "Sister Princess? Since you know she is the Princess, you still dare to call her sister? Is this how Meng Ying indulges her servants?"
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, "Okay! It's just a meal, no big deal, no big deal! Let's eat together if General Zhuo isn't full."
Zhuo Yao carried Shi Qi away and snatched his seat. He gave Shi Qi a proud look, then turned to Bai Zhi and said, "Okay! I just haven't eaten enough!"
Seventeen held the big cake in his hand and was as angry as a frog.
Bai Zhi ignored him and just ate by herself.
Zhuo Yao stared at Bai Zhi while eating, and he inexplicably remembered her wearing a wedding dress. I remembered that they were in Heifeng Village, he was a black tiger, she was a white lotus, and they had already gone to the church to get married.
If that is true, then eating with her now is a normal thing, just one day among thousands of ordinary days.
But now, it actually feels like a stolen moment.
Just for a moment, like the spark that started a prairie fire, it was about to explode, igniting the feelings hidden in the night.
Bai Zhi was panicked by the scorching gaze, and her expression became stiffer. Finally unable to bear it any longer, Bai Zhi said, "General Zhuo, I'm afraid it's not good to keep staring at others!"
Zhuo Yao didn't look away and looked straight into Bai Zhi's eyes.
He sighed deeply and took off a jade pendant carved into the shape of an eagle from around his neck. It was exquisitely crafted and of clear jade quality.
He spread the jade pendant in the palm of his hand and handed it to Bai Zhi, "Send it to you."
Bai Zhi's mouth twitched, "No."
"Take it!" Zhuo Yao's voice was cold and hard, quite imposing.
"How can I accept this?" Bai Zhi refused.
"It's not a token of love, what are you afraid of?!" Zhuo Yao raised his eyebrows and raised his voice.
These words were so straightforward, and they really spoke to Bai Zhi's worries. She asked suspiciously, "Then why did you give me something out of nowhere?"
Zhuo Yao frowned and thought carefully, then frowned, "I just want to give it! I always feel that if you like a girl, you have to give her something. Otherwise, how can I prove that I like this girl?"
"Isn't this called a token of love?" Bai Zhi blurted out in a hurry to refute.
Zhuo Yao glanced at Bai Zhi's face, lowered his eyes, and said hoarsely: "Tokens of love are only for two people who are in love, and I don't need you to be happy with me, I just want to give it to you."
Bai Zhi was a little confused. She seemed to understand Zhuo Yao's logic, but she couldn't accept it, "I can't..."
"Bai Lianhua! You lied to me from the beginning! I don't want anything now, I just want you to be well!" Zhuo Yao interrupted Bai Zhi.
Zhuo Yao's low-pitched roar was like a basin of cold water pouring down from Bai Zhi's head, making Bai Zhi wake up instantly.
The retelling of past events made Bai Zhi a little angry. She retorted with reason, "I lied to you. I'm sorry. I have already apologized to you!"
Zhuo Yao suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, held his forehead and sneered, "After the autumn hunt, I will ask for a battle and leave Chenjing. We may never meet again."
"Meng Ying is now the target of public criticism, and there are many people who want to harm him. Take this jade pendant. If you need help, take this jade pendant to Zhuo Ling, and she will help you."
"If you follow him, you have to plan for him, right?"
Bai Zhi also sneered, "Zhuo Yao, even if I want to plan for him, I will not abuse your friendship!"
She never took it.
Zhuo Yao was heartbroken for a moment. She was unwilling to accept even the slightest kindness, so how could he occupy that place in her memory.
Zhuo Yao stood up and left the camp indifferently.
Bai Zhi was in the tent, but she was restless.
She propped her elbows on the long desk and wanted to close her eyes and rest, but the memories of the Black Wind Village kept popping up in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She held her head and wanted to pull out all her hair.
Zhuo Yao caressed the jade pendant, feeling restless. He found a pile of silver wire and wrapped the jade pendant tightly around it, forming a hairpin shape.
He was inexplicably angry and clenched his back molars. She had to have this jade pendant, White Lotus, even if she didn't want it!
Shen Qingli finally woke up, and it had been two hours. Bai Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief. She had been worried about not being able to catch the evening cruise.
Zhuo Yao also came after hearing the news and explained the whole story.
"Princess Ning, thank you very much." Shen Qingli's voice was a little weak, as if she just remembered the child in her belly at this time, "Is the child okay?"
"It's okay! She's healthy! If you touch it, you should be able to feel the fetal movement!"
Shen Qingli stretched out her hand and touched it, and she really felt it. She showed a faint smile and felt a little excited, "Princess Ning, he is really moving. Do you want to touch it and see."
Bai Zhi put her hand over her round belly, feeling as if the child in her belly was waving to her.
With an indescribable joy, she thought of the twins she delivered in Lingren Alley, "Great! The royal sister-in-law's belly is so big, maybe she is a big fat boy, or a pair of twins! Last time I I delivered a pair of twins to a family in Lingren Alley, and they are now fat and white, and they are very cute!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingli's eyes suddenly changed, and the smile froze on her face.
Even Zhuo Yao, who was listening to their chat behind him, frowned.
But Bai Zhi didn't notice this subtle change in the atmosphere.
When the sun was about to set, King Xuan finally came, but he smelled of alcohol.
When he came, he did not say a word of respect for himself. He first scolded Shen Qingli and asked her why she wanted to leave the house without permission to see her father. Shen Qingli was so aggrieved that she burst into tears.
Bai Zhi felt hairy all over after hearing this, and tried to persuade her a few times, but to no avail.
It was other people's family matters, so she and Zhuo Yao withdrew from the camp.
As soon as he left the camp, Zhuo Yao said coldly, "You said the wrong thing."
Bai Zhi's mind didn't turn around for a moment, "Huh?"
Zhuo Yao knew that she didn't understand, so he patiently explained to her, "The royal family does not allow twins to exist."
Are twins not allowed to exist?
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, exploding a bolt of lightning in Bai Zhi's mind.
Her mind was thinking rapidly, but her mouth kept asking, "Why?"
"The Chen Dynasty had a history of twins usurping the throne, so whenever a child gave birth to two sons, one of them would be killed..."
"Wait! Wait! What if it's a dragon and a phoenix?" Bai Zhi asked in disbelief.
"I have never heard of such a precedent, but it is possible that she was killed at birth. Women are not unusual for the royal family."
The fragmented memories in Bai Zhi's mind were pieced together like threads.
Those royal secrets, that girl without a name in the family tree, that existence that cannot be mentioned.
His sister...
Jin'er...
