Rebirth as Princess Jin again

After another heavy snowfall, the year finally came to an end, on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is what people call the New Year's Eve.

In the palace of Prince Jin, Chunlan walked in covered with wind and snow, causing the charcoal fire in the house to flicker. She smiled and said: "Princess, look, this is the window paper I cut. This year we will not enter the palace and celebrate the New Year in the palace." , let’s also decorate this mansion to be more lively, do you think where to put these window papers?”

Xia Yu, who was waiting for Su Ying to drink the anti-fetal medicine, felt the chill behind her and turned around and said: "Chunlan, close the door quickly. The princess is pregnant now and cannot catch cold. If she freezes, let's see how the prince will deal with it when he comes back." you."

Chunlan stuck out her tongue, turned around quickly and closed the door. Then she came to Su Ying with a tray and handed the window papers to Su Ying one by one: "Princess, look, there are magpies on the branches, and there are more than enough every year. You see, I cut a picture of "Many Children and Blessings". Our palace will have a baby next year. No, it will be this year after tonight. I will post this in the princess's bedroom."

Su Ying looked at her happy face and said with a smile: "You girl, you have so many ideas, you can take charge of it! It's just that the prince won't come back to celebrate the New Year this year, so our house is quite deserted."

"The princess misses the prince?" Xia Yu asked softly.

Su Ying looked at Chunlan happily holding window paper and posting it everywhere, and said calmly: "The prince has been gone for more than a month, and the child in my belly is almost three months old now. Why don't I want him to stay with me?" ?”

Seeing that Su Ying was a little unhappy, Xia Yu hurriedly comforted her: "Even if the prince is not with the princess, he is always thinking about you and the child. You see, he was afraid that the princess would be bored in the house, so he specially brought the cousin to the house before leaving. , come and accompany the princess to relieve her boredom."

Su Ying was startled, then laughed: "Luoluo is here, I have gained a lot of weight, that's all. Today is a day for family reunion, so I should think of something festive. Go and see if the food in the kitchen is ready. Let’s have this year’s reunion dinner together.”

Before she finished speaking, Luoluo's crisp voice sounded outside the door: "Sister is hungry. The food is ready. I'll pick her up and go to the dining room to eat."

On New Year's Eve, there was heavy snowfall, and the dining room was close to the kitchen. Su Ying usually ate in the house. After all, it was New Year's Eve, so she asked everyone to have dinner together. The way to the dining room was covered with snow, so Luo Luo came to pick Su Ying up in person. .

Luoluo supported Su Ying and walked slowly in the snow. The ground was covered with a thick layer of sand. She was pregnant now, and everyone in the palace was taking care of her carefully, for fear of neglecting her in the slightest.

"Princess!" As soon as Su Ying stepped onto the corridor, Chunlan came towards her. She was walking in a hurry. Just when she was still several steps away from Su Ying, her foot suddenly slipped and she fell to the ground. The fall was so heavy that Chunlan fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Chunlan!" Xia Yu was shocked when she saw her fall, and wanted to step forward to help her, but Su Ying grabbed her. Xia Yu asked in confusion, "Princess, what's wrong?"

Su Ying looked around. The lights in the corridor were dim. Su Ying vaguely saw a figure flashing past the hidden part of the corridor, but it soon disappeared and no trace could be found.

Half of the secret guards in the palace followed Situ Jin to the outside of the city. Su Ying did not leave the palace, so most of the secret guards were guarding the bedroom. The dining room was where Su Ying had a meal at the last minute, and there was no one there. Guard.

She withdrew her gaze and said to Xia Yu, "Look at the ground."

"On the ground?" Hearing this, Luoluo shined the lantern in her hand on the ground, and saw a dozen pearls of lighter color scattered on the ground. If you didn't look carefully, you might see them as pearls that had not yet fallen on the ground. The snowflakes had time to melt. Chunlan just stepped on these pearls and fell down.

Xia Yu picked up the pearls on the ground one by one, and helped Chunlan, who had been crying out in pain. Chunlan complained while rubbing her back: "Who is this? I dropped something and didn't know how to pick it up. I almost fell to death." .”

Xia Yu patted the water stains off her body and said, "How's it going? Did you hurt any bones? Can I go to the room and give you some medicine for bruises?"

Chunlan stretched out her hands and feet, waved her hands and said, "No, luckily it's me who fell. If I fall, the princess..."

After saying that, several people looked at each other, and Su Ying's face changed slightly. The color of the pearls was extremely uneven. Women in Xia Zhaoguo liked pearls as jewelry. Pearls of this color were usually worn by maids, but in the palace, There are so many maids, it is really difficult to find the owner of this pearl.

Su Ying knew in her heart that the pearls were dropped on purpose. If Chunlan hadn't fallen in front of her today, it would have been her and Luoluo who fell. By then, the child in her belly would not be saved even with magic elixirs.

Luo Luo looked at the pearl in Su Ying's hand and said in astonishment: "They didn't even let go of the unborn child?"

Su Ying smiled coldly: "If you and I had stepped on this just now, not only the children would be injured, but I might also be in danger."

"Why must you be in danger?" Luoluo asked doubtfully.

Su Ying clenched the small pearl in her hand tightly and said coldly: "King Jin's sudden departure must have made them suspicious. Now the only people who can restrain King Jin are me and the child in my belly. They can't find Jin." Regarding the traces of the king, if I am injured in the palace, King Jin will definitely find a way to come back. If King Jin can come back in time, it means that he must not have gone to Jiangnan, so the scope of some people's search will be greatly reduced. "

Luoluo held Su Ying's hand tightly and pretended to be calm: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect you."

Su Ying reached out and patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I will keep the child, and the prince will never reveal his trace."

"When Chunlan fell down just now, I saw a figure flashing past the corridor, but he disappeared soon." After a pause, she added: "I think that person must be from the mansion, but there are many servants, so this pearl Accessories are common things, and that person took advantage of this, making it impossible for us to investigate even if we were suspicious."

While several people were talking, they heard the sound of rustling footsteps on the snow. Following the sound, they saw Cui Yi walking from behind carrying a food box. Sensing their gazes, she bent her knees slightly: "Princess! Miss!" "

Su Ying's long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Who are you?"

Luoluo answered quickly: "She was rescued by Ayu and I on the road last time. Her name is Cuiyi, and she is now my personal maid."

Su Ying looked at Cui Yi standing in the snow and said softly: "Didn't Okra wait for you the past few days?"

Luoluo helped Su Ying walk in and said, "Didn't it snow yesterday? Qiu Kui fell down and injured her foot for some reason when she got up early in the morning. I thought Cui Yi could give me a shot when she came. I took her to the palace as soon as possible, and I was so busy today that I forgot to tell my sister."
