In the rainy season of March, the early morning light rain wets the entire courtyard. The small fish in the tank float to the surface and open their mouths to drink the fresh rootless water. The coolness flows into the eaves with the wind, making people unable to help but tighten their clothes.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Zhen Guogong sat uneasily and stared at the spring rain outside, with an inexplicable panic rising in her heart.

A maid came back from the rain, panting slightly and said to her: "Madam."

Mrs. Zhenguo said anxiously: "How? Did you find anything?"

The maid straightened her tongue and said softly: "Madam, Mingzhong Courtyard is very quiet and there is nothing unusual."

"What?" Mrs. Zhenguo stood up immediately, extremely surprised: "Isn't Tang Jiao pregnant?"

It's impossible. Tang Jiao's happy pulse was checked by the imperial doctor himself, so it can't be faked.

If it was faked, the old woman would be the first to be spared.

But why is there no trace of the insect?

Clutching the silk handkerchief tightly, Mrs. Zhen Guo's uneasiness turned into threads, tightly wrapping around her heart and suffocating her breathing.

The thing given by the Imperial Master cannot possibly be ineffective. Could it be that the bug was discovered?

Biting her lip and sitting back down, Mrs. Zhenguo growled angrily, how could she be so unlucky.

At this time, a maid hurriedly walked in and saluted respectfully: "Madam, the eldest princess invites you to come to Ankang Courtyard."

Mrs. Zhenguo's eyelids twitched violently: "Now?"

"Exactly, the eldest princess wants you to come over immediately."

"it is good."

Mrs. Zhenguo stood up holding the silk handkerchief and walked out in a daze.

In Mingzhong Courtyard, Tang Jiao was leaning on the couch, holding a long-eared rabbit doll, listening to Zixiang talk about the news outside in the past few days.

The snow conditions in the north are particularly serious today, and there is still heavy snow in March. I heard that there was an avalanche in Shanta, and many people died. In addition, the national fortune of the National Division before the joint alliance was hindered, everyone talked about it, saying that it was a catastrophe from heaven.

No matter who is in power, all the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment. Once such rumors come out, many people believe them to be true, so they become panicked.

Lu Changze sat next to her and rubbed her legs. He heard from his grandmother that some women's legs tend to cramp when they are pregnant, so he rubbed her legs in advance to avoid these cramps in the future.

Only after Jiaoer became pregnant did Lu Changze learn about the pain of pregnancy. He had experienced morning sickness before. He felt like vomiting after eating, and his stomach churned with every breath. When I came back, I saw that she was picky about what she ate, her appetite was much smaller, and she didn't dare to flip it around at night for fear of crushing the baby. She was only four or five months pregnant and suffered like this, and she couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

I heard that some pregnant women cannot even squat down to go to the toilet in the later stages of pregnancy.

He was reading some books on pregnant women recently, and found out that the woman was really risking her life when she was pregnant, and he felt sorry for her even more.

There is no one in this world who will bear children for him like a charming child without any benefit.

Having a child of his own flesh and blood with Jiaoer, Lu Changze felt an inexplicable sense of expectation.

Both men and women must be good-looking, and when Jiao'er is jealous enough, he will find a way to throw the child to the master, so that Jiao'er will be his alone again.

When I think about it, I suddenly feel that the unborn child is very pleasing to the eye.

Heizhu came in at this time and bowed respectfully: "Master, the eldest princess has called and asked you and the Crown Prince's wife to come over."

Tang Jiao and Lu Changze looked at each other: "Do you know what is going on?"

Heizhu shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that Madam has also passed by."

Lu Changze vaguely guessed, picked up the embroidered shoes and put them on Tang Jiao: "Let's go there first."

"Ah."

Tang Jiao stood up with his hand and walked out with him.

When they arrived, they met Mrs. Zhen Guo at the door. Tang Jiao was about to give her a junior salute when she was pulled in by Lu Changze.

Mrs. Zhenguo was angry at her son's neglect, but she had no choice but to look at Ankang Yuan in front of her, her hands trembling slightly.

Tang Jiao and Lu Changze entered and saw the eldest princess sitting on the throne and Duke Zhen sitting next to her.

"Grandma, father."

The two stood in the hall and greeted them, looking calm and calm.

The eldest princess looked at Tang Jiao, whose belly was slightly swollen, and smiled lovingly: "Sister Jiao, you are pregnant, so don't stand still."

Lu Changze helped Tang Jiao sit down opposite his father. He saw a small box next to him. When he opened it, he found that it turned out to be lychees.

Tang Jiao loved to eat lychees since she was a child. Looking at the bright red lychees, she said in surprise: "Where are the lychees?"

Seeing that she liked it, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Your Majesty has just rewarded the first batch of lychees from the south of the Yangtze River."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said: "Your grandmother thought that you were pregnant, so she left it all for you to eat. This food will make you angry. Don't eat too much at one time."

"Thank you grandma, thank you dad."

Tang Jiao picked up one and was about to peel it off when a hand took it away.

Lu Changze peeled off the shell of the red short thorn, took out the millet-like core inside, and handed the crystal juicy pulp to her mouth.

Tang Jiao opened her mouth and bit it. The sweet and refreshing taste made her narrow her eyes happily.

Seeing her swallowing it, Lu Changze picked up the other one and continued peeling it off.

The wife of Duke Zhenguo greeted the eldest princess slightly and said, "Mother is well."

When the eldest princess saw her, the smile on her face unconsciously became a little colder: "I won't be safe as long as you are here."

Mrs. Zhenguo heard the anger in her tone and hurriedly asked: "What did mother say?"

The eldest princess looked at her with a half-smile, "What did you put on that coat?"

Mrs. Zhenguo's face turned pale and she pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean, mother?"

The Duke of Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone."

A maid walked in outside. When Mrs. Zhenguo saw the maid's face clearly, she looked shocked.

Dongliu, why isn’t he dead?

How could it be possible? After poisoning, she had Dong Liu executed secretly.

How could she survive, how could she survive?

At this moment, Mrs. Zhen Guoguo felt that there was a steel knife hanging above her head that could be inserted at any time, and a chill shot up from her tailbone.

The maid knelt down in front of the eldest princess and kowtowed with a trembling body: "Dongliu meets the eldest princess."

The eldest princess said in a deep voice, "Dongliu, tell me what you know."

"Yes." Dongliu stood up, straightened his back and looked at the eldest princess, with a trembling tone: "A few days ago, Madam took a bottle of medicine and asked the slave to sprinkle it on the coat, then soaked it in water and dried it to give to the eldest princess. The medicine is a chronic poison. When worn on a person's body, the poison will slowly seep into the body due to body temperature. The lady said that the eldest princess must be killed without anyone noticing. As long as the eldest princess dies and the Duke is not at home all year round, the town will She can hold the Duke's Mansion in her hands. I didn't lie. Please let the Duke and the eldest princess please let this slave's family go. Wow. Wow,,"

Mrs. Zhenguo shouted angrily and rushed towards her: "What nonsense are you talking about, you cheap servant?"

"ah!!."

"stop."

Heizhu stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Zhen Guo's hand to protect Dongliu. This was a powerful witness, how could she be allowed to hurt her at will.

Bang, the Duke of Zhen slapped the table, his serious face full of anger: "Come here, bring that coat and warm water."

Mrs. Zhenguo looked at him, her face flushed with anger: "What do you want to do, Lu Jin'an? Do you want to kill me just for being a cheap servant who betrays your master?"

The eldest princess sneered: "I will poison my mother-in-law, who dares to frame you."

Mrs. Zhenguo's face suddenly turned pale. Looking at her full and vicissitudes of life, she took a breath and her body suddenly collapsed to the ground.
