Su Qingcheng's position was just in the middle of the two groups, forming a triangle between the three groups.

She could clearly see every move of Fu Xingzhou and Princess Huaining, even her eyes were clear.

Princess Huaining kept staring at Lu Xuerou, which made Su Qingcheng puzzled.

If it was just a conflict of interest, for example, if the child in Lu Xuerou's belly would threaten Fu Xingzhou's future status, why did she feel a sense of resentment in Princess Huaining's eyes...

In her memory, the two of them never met alone, let alone socializing.

Sudden hatred?

What hatred will there be between Princess Huaining and Lu Xuerou?

She did not dare to delay any longer, and after signaling to Ye Tantai, she quickly walked towards Lu Xuerou, stood beside her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't touch all the food today, just stay with me."

Lu Xuerou immediately became vigilant and touched her belly with a protective hand: "Is there something wrong?"

Su Qingcheng hesitated again and again, but decided to tell the truth.

"Princess Huaining and Fu Xingzhou may attack your child, but I don't know what method they will use," she said while looking around, pretending that they were just chatting with her, "You should be giving birth soon. "

Su Qingcheng estimated the day, Lu Xuerou's day was probably approaching now.

"Yes, Doctor Song took my pulse just a few days ago and said that the baby might be born in seven to fourteen days. And he said..."

The imperial concubine was a little hesitant, Su Qingcheng frowned slightly and waited quietly for her to speak.

"Doctor Song said that the child may have difficulty delivering due to overnutrition."

"Didn't you always ask him to check your pulse? How could you overdo it?"

Su Qingcheng knew that when the month came, it would be difficult to give birth if the child was too big, and this was the time when things were most likely to go wrong.

"I don't know either..." Su Qingcheng's expression was too serious, and Lu Xuerou panicked.

Su Qingcheng could only comfort her: "It's just that she is big. If Po Wen is experienced, it won't be a big problem."

Lu Xuerou finally calmed down a little. She always believed in Su Qingcheng's words.

Su Qingcheng changed the subject and said, "Then you don't have to come today. You can wait for the birth in peace at the Emperor Taisun's Mansion."

However, Lu Xuerou looked around with twinkling eyes. After seeing that no one was looking at them, she cautiously said to Su Qingcheng: "I suspect that there are people from them in the Emperor Taisun's Mansion."

"Why do you say that?" Su Qingcheng's heart tightened, but she was afraid that she would affect Lu Xuerou's condition, so she could only pretend to ask casually.

If their influence has penetrated into the emperor's grandson, it means that they must have made complete preparations today.

Su Qingcheng couldn't imagine that if Doctor Song hadn't secretly checked Lu Xuerou's pulse from time to time, she might not have been able to keep the baby in her belly.

When she thought of this, she regretted a little. She should have made arrangements to protect Lu Xuerou's child earlier.

"I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights because my child is always taking care of me. When I turn over, I always feel like there are people walking around outside our house." Lu Xuerou looked pale, "I told the emperor's grandson, He sent people to watch around our house, but found nothing.”

"Today is Mr. Su's birthday, and Si Yan can't shirk it. He was worried that I would be alone at home, so he said he would take me with him. Besides, I thought nothing would happen to me at your house, so I followed him out. "

Su Qingcheng thought for a while and realized that it was indeed the case. If Lu Xuerou were to stay alone in the Emperor Taisun's Mansion today, the possibility of something going wrong would only be greater than now.

It just means that now under her nose, he can at least protect Lu Xuerou.

"No matter what, you stay with me today. Don't eat what others give you, and don't get too close to others, no matter who they are." Su Qingcheng looked serious.

Lu Xuerou nodded worriedly.

While the two were talking, Princess Huaining came over.

She held Lu Xuerou's hand as if she was familiar with it, and there was a trace of sinisterness in her eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

"The Imperial Concubine, these are the beads I specially requested when I was copying Buddhist scriptures for my father a few days ago. You are about to give birth, so I gave them to you to ensure your safety."

The moment she held her hand, Princess Huaining put the red sandalwood beads on Lu Xuerou's hand.

The latter immediately threw away in horror.

The movement was so big that Princess Huaining took a step back slightly.

The fleeting disgust in Princess Huaining's eyes was caught by Su Qingcheng, and she immediately grabbed Lu Xuerou's hand to protect her behind her back.

"The Imperial Concubine has been in a bad mood recently, and her hands are very weak. Princess Huaining, please forgive me." She explained to Princess Huaining with a smile.

Princess Huaining looked at the red sandalwood Buddha beads that Lu Xuerou threw on the ground, and said lightly meaningfully: "Really? The relationship between the Crown Princess and Princess Yunan is so good, I am so envious of it."

Lu Xuerou hadn't recovered yet. She always felt that Princess Huaining's eyes and movements were like a wolf in sheep's clothing watching its prey.

"Don't Princess Huaining have many playmates? I think His Highness Duanwang has been looking at us." Su Qingcheng was not affected by Princess Huaining at all.

Su Qingcheng knew the woman in front of her very well, and she would not harm Lu Xuerou directly.

But Fu Xingzhou, who was not far away, kept looking towards these people intentionally or unintentionally.

She felt strongly that the way Fu Xingzhou looked at her was not simple.

Princess Huaining followed Su Qingcheng's gaze, and Fu Xingzhou winked at her slightly.

She returned to her usual kind demeanor: "What Princess Yu Nan said is that Brother Duan Wang and I grew up together. Since the Crown Princess does not accept my favor, then I will not disturb you."

After saying that, she turned around and left. The moment she turned around, her eyes suddenly changed, and an invisible flame burned in her eyes.

Just seeing Lu Xuerou made her teeth itch with hatred.

If it hadn't been for Lu Xuerou, the child in her belly would not have died!

After Princess Huaining left, Lu Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingcheng also let go of the hand protecting Lu Xuerou, squatted down and picked up the string of red sandalwood beads.

She held it in her hand and looked at it carefully in the sun.

"How is it? Did she tamper with the bracelet?" Lu Xuerou asked nervously.

"No," the red sandalwood glowed slightly golden in the sun, and it looked like fine wood. Su Qingcheng put the bracelet in front of her nose and smelled it, "What she said should be true."

"You mean she really asked for this?" Lu Xuerou said in surprise.

Su Qingcheng nodded: "Well, it's just..."

She paused, looked in the direction of Princess Huaining and Fu Xingzhou with deep eyes, and continued: "I don't know if she is asking for your safe delivery, or for a stillbirth."
