The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The explanation went on and on, and Meng Wenyao thought Xie Chenyi must have been tired of listening to it. When she looked up, she saw Xie Chenyi nodding frequently and said seriously, "Mother is right, I remember it all."

The princess spent the whole day explaining in detail the various precautions for Meng Wenyao and Xie Chenyi. It was not until very late that the princess left reluctantly. Before leaving, she cautiously asked the two to sleep separately. Xie Chenyi immediately assured her, "Don't worry, mother, I won't crush Yao'er."

After saying this, everyone blushed.

After everyone left, Xie Chenyi carefully hugged Meng Wen Yao, his hand gently resting on his belly, taking care of him.

"I now feel that Bao's poisoning of me was just a dream."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily again: "In fact, after so many years at the border, I felt that the days in the palace before were like a dream and unreal. It was not until I married you and we had a child that I felt that this was my home."

Meng Wen Yao understood Xie Chenyi's confusion very well. After all, Prince Fenyang and Mrs. Bao had been leading a normal family life in this house for a long time, and everyone else seemed like an irrelevant person who disturbed them.

She hugged Xie Chenyi back and said emotionally, "Yes, you have a wife now, and you will have children soon, and you will have many descendants in the future. This is of course your home. The Bao family and the Li family are just living here temporarily."

Xie Chenyi smiled faintly: "We are just staying here temporarily, we will leave here in a hundred years."

Thinking of his death a hundred years later, Xie Chenyi immediately hugged Meng Wenyao tightly and said solemnly: "But we will be buried in the same room together, and we will never be separated for eternity, right?"

Meng Wen Yao was stunned. She was just completing a mission. How should she answer? Should she give a hypocritical coaxing response?

While Xie Chenyi was waiting for an answer, he thought of Meng Wenyao's second marriage. Now she was hesitant to say that they would be buried together after death. Could it be that she wanted to be buried together with Xie Nan in the future?

"Is it because you and Xie Nan'an are married that you don't want to be buried with me?"

"What?" Meng Wen Yao didn't expect Xie Chenyi to think so far.

"no."

But it was inconvenient to say the truth. She stared blankly at Xie Chenyi's gradually reddening eyes and explained awkwardly: "We will naturally live and die together."

"Most definitely."

Meng Wen Yao didn't know when she woke up. When she woke up, Xie Chenyi was looking at her seriously.

"Didn't you go to court today?"

"No, something happened in the ancestral temple. Xie Nan'an's tomb suddenly cracked. Father is mentally exhausted now. I will handle this matter in the mansion today."

Xie Chenyi said it lightly, but Meng Wenyao smelled a conspiracy. How could the tomb crack open without rain or thunder?

Looking at Xie Chenyi, whose eyes were still red after a night's sleep, Meng Wenyao had reason to suspect that Xie Chenyi had dug up Xie Nanan's grave at night.

As for the purpose, Meng Wen Yao already had some vague doubts.

"Then how should we deal with it?" Meng Wen Yao asked, pretending to be curious.

"It's inevitable that a ritual will be performed."

Speaking of rituals, Meng Wen Yao almost laughed. The reputation of the palace has been declining over the past six months, and it was all ruined by rituals. This time Xie Chenyi held a ritual, and I wonder who will be the unlucky one in the end.

Bao, who had just settled down in the Buddhist temple and was thinking of a way to leave, heard that there was going to be another ritual at home. She suddenly had an idea and asked someone to go find her daughter Xie Ruxue.

Not long ago, Xie Ruxue became pregnant. Although she was only a concubine and not favored, for the sake of the child, the Qian family should let Xie Ruxue come back.

She thought about her three children, some dead and some imprisoned. Now the only one she could rely on was Xie Ruxue.

On the day of the ceremony, Xie Ruxue came over. When she saw Mrs. Bao staying in the cold and lonely Buddhist temple, her eyes dropped as if their strings had broken. However, she had no means to do so, so she could only silently give Mrs. Bao some money as a favor.

"Child, mother doesn't want your money. Listen to me, Meng Wenyao is pregnant, and this child will definitely not be born. You can send some tonic medicine in the name of the princess, and then mix this packet of powder into the tonic medicine."

Xie Ruxue knew that her mother had fallen into this situation because of the conspiracy behind her back. She said with some embarrassment: "Mother, everyone in the mansion is on guard against you now. Even if I borrow the name of the princess, Meng Wenyao may not believe it. She will definitely not use these tonics."

Mrs. Bao smiled strangely: "Her yard is watertight, which shows how careful she is. Naturally, she will not use the supplements you gave her."

"Then why?" Xie Ruxue asked curiously.

"You're making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. When Meng Wenyao sees the tonic you sent her, she'll naturally think I'll do something tampering with it. Then, she'll be on guard against you and will neglect other things."

"In this mansion, I have plenty of roads leading to Meng Wenyao's yard."

Seeing Bao's smug look, Xie Ruxue was still a little worried: "But, what if Meng Wenyao used the medicine I gave her?"

"What are you afraid of? The dosage of this medicine is small. Even if Meng Wenyao takes it, at most she will have spotting, but she won't have a miscarriage. If she is harmed once, she will think that I have already made a move and will let down her guard. Little does she know that I have already prepared a deadly abortion-preserving medicine for her somewhere else."

Seeing the crazy look of Mrs. Bao, Xie Ruxue felt a little timid, but thinking that she and her son were dead and they were almost out of place in the palace, she was unwilling to let Meng Wen Yao live so freely, so what was wrong with taking this small dose of medicine to scare Meng Wen Yao.

In the front yard, Meng Wenyao and Xie Ruxue accompanied the princess to perform the ritual. After it was over, the princess said distressedly, "It's a pity that you two are pregnant. You have been kneeling for so long. Don't disturb the fetus. Hurry up and have someone cook some medicine to stabilize the fetus."

At this time, Xie Ruxue naturally took over the conversation and said, "Mother, I came here today because the princess was worried that I might have an accident, so she specially prepared some medicine to protect my pregnancy. They are all holy products in the palace, and I happened to prepare some for my sister-in-law as well. I'll have someone prepare some, and my sister-in-law and I will drink it together later."

When Meng Wenyao heard Xie Ruxue's words, she didn't even raise her eyes and said lightly: "Okay!"

According to the information she had gathered, the princess didn't want Xie Ruxue to give birth to a son out of wedlock, so how could she give Xie Ruxue medicine to preserve the pregnancy? It's even possible that she gave her medicine to induce an abortion.

Besides, how could Xie Ruxue not hate her, especially since Xie Ruxue had met Mrs. Bao before she came.

Meng Wen Yao knew everything clearly in her mind, and with a forced smile she talked to Xie Ruxue about preserving the pregnancy. Soon Xie Ruxue's maid brought over two bowls of preserving medicine.

One bowl was placed next to Meng Wen Yao, and the other bowl was placed next to Xie Ruxue.

Meng Wenyao took the handkerchief and gently swept the medicine bowl, frowning and said, "It smells so bad? And it's so hot!"

To show her honesty, Xie Ruxue immediately instructed the maid who was blowing the medicine, "Give this bowl to the second sister-in-law. This bowl is not so hot anymore."

After the two bowls of medicine were exchanged, Xie Ruxue began to drink large amounts of them. She thought that even if something went wrong, she could get rid of suspicion because she had also drunk them.

"The pregnancy-preserving medicine in this palace is really different. I felt warm all over after taking a sip. Second sister-in-law, please try it... What's going on?"

Xie Ruxue didn't finish her sentence before she looked down and saw that her snow-white clothes were stained with large drops of red liquid.

"Ah!" The maids screamed instantly.
