The imperial concubine bows down to me

And must go tomorrow night.

Because even if we took a step back and said that today was really because the lover had something urgent to do and didn't come, then he might find time and go again tomorrow night.

So in order not to be exposed, Shen Zhi could only go there before Haishi.If the lover really went there, she would be able to pre-emptively strike, lest she might miss nothing and be exposed on the spot.

After all, Liu Shuyan's martial arts is so strong, it must not be underestimated.

It's just that this trip is also risky, and Shen Zhi can get out of the body once by chance, but there is no guarantee that she will still be able to get out of the body again.

However, in order to find out the truth and find some clues about Liu Shuyan, Shen Zhi also had to go all out: "Tomorrow Gu will go early, and Qin Ning can follow Gu to the side gate of the main hall of Penglai. If there is any accident, we can also take care of it."

"Okay." Du Qinning agreed, and discussed some specific details with Shen Zhi, and then she and Shen Zhi left the dark room and went back to the side hall.

As for why Du Qinning, as the titular prince's companion, can live so close to Shen Zhi without any power or family background, it has to start with her background.

When Shen Tianhe was still the prince, Du Qinning's father was originally one of his generals.In one battle, Guo Fang lost the battle. In order to cover Shen Tianhe's retreat, he blocked the enemy's thousands of guns and arrows with his flesh and blood.

And Du Qinning's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her. At that time, Du Qinning was only two years old and became an orphan.

Shen Tianhe saw that she was pitiful, and thought of her father's kindness, so he took her back to the mansion to raise her.Later when Shen Zhi was born, Shen Tianhe let her stay by Shen Zhi's side as a man, and studied literature and martial arts with her, becoming the closest person in her eyes besides Shen Tianhe and Wei Qian'er.

After Shen Zhi was made the crown prince, in order to make it easier for Du Qinning to take care of Shen Zhi, Shen Tianhe allowed Du Qinning to live in the side hall of the Lizheng Hall, only a few feet away from Shen Zhi's residence.

At this time, as soon as Du Qinning left, the sleepy Shen Zhi couldn't care less about going out for a trip.She took off her black clothes and put on the middle clothes she had just changed, and found a hidden place to hide the black clothes and black mask, then got on the bed and got under the quilt.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't help recalling what she experienced tonight, wondering if she had missed some details.Gradually, she also fell asleep.

The next day, it stands to reason that Shen Zhi should get up at Limao on weekdays.But she stayed in Penglai Hall for a long time last night, and after she came back, she talked with Du Qinning for a while, and she didn't really rest until Chou Shi.

Shen Zhi doesn't like to be waited for when she sleeps, so she is often the only one in the hall.When the time comes, Cao Min will come to wake her up.

But today, Cao Min called her three times. She was really sleepy, and she dragged on for nearly three quarters of an hour before sitting up from the couch.

But Cao Min can understand Shen Zhi very well.Because no matter how sensible she is, she is only a 15-year-old half-grown child, and occasionally she can't help being petty.

Seeing that Shen Zhi woke up, Cao Min was also afraid that he would upset her a little bit, so he saluted, and found a reason to retreat: "The servant is going to call someone to take care of His Highness to wash up."

Shen knew he shouldn't, so he acquiesced.Although she was very sleepy, she knew that she had more important things to do.

Cao Min tiptoed out the door and closed the door from the outside, and the hall fell silent again.

Shen Zhi rested his forehead on his knees and squinted for a while, finally opened his misty eyes, and was ready to get up.

But when she raised her leg slightly, she felt something was wrong under her body.

There seemed to be a warm current passing by there, and she tentatively exerted a little force on her waist, and the feeling became more obvious.

Shen Zhi probably guessed what it was, her heart sank, and she quickly lifted the quilt to take a look, and sure enough, the place under her body was already stained red.

It was a coincidence that the first arrival of Tiangui happened at this time.Shen Zhi was also flustered for a while, so she quickly gathered herself together, put the quilt back on her body, and called Cao Min several times.

When Cao Min heard the palace man say that Shen Zhi was calling him in a hurry, he hurried back, swallowing half of what he had just told the maid.

"Your Highness." When Cao Min hurried over, Shen Zhi had already put on a mask and was waiting for him at the same place, but before he could reach Shen Zhi's bed, she stopped him.

"wait!"

Shen Zhi's sudden words frightened Cao Min. He didn't know why Shen Zhi called him so urgently, and made him stop in the middle of the hall.

"Go and call Qin Ning over, as quickly as possible." After finishing speaking, Shen Zhi waved to Cao Min.Although she tried her best to restrain herself, there was still some tension between her brows and eyes.

Although Cao Min didn't know why, but seeing Shen Zhi in such a hurry, he thought to himself that it was a big matter, and he must not be neglected.

"Yes." After answering, he quickly turned back and hurried to the side hall to call Du Qinning.

At this time, Du Qinning was washing up and preparing to eat some court food brought by the palace people earlier.Seeing that Cao Min came over to pass a message to her nervously, she didn't care about anything else, so she followed Cao Min back to Shen Zhi's place.

Seeing Du Qinning approaching, Shen Zhi asked Cao Min to back down, and then he looked at Du Qinning who was beside him with some shame, and hesitantly said: "Qinning, Gu...Gu this morning... Guishui is here."

Knowing this, Du Qinning's originally frowning brows instantly relaxed.

She let out a breath, got up and went to find a clean shirt for Shen Zhi and put it aside, then said: "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go back and get some things before coming here."

Shen Zhizi also knew what Du Qinning was talking about, she nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Okay." Du Qinning should have prepared for such a reaction, and she didn't have to worry about it.

Sure enough, after less than half a cup of tea, Du Qinning came back again.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much about this matter, I will take care of it for Your Highness," she said, she took out a menstrual belt from her sleeve and put it on the jacket, before asking, "Does Your Highness still go to the prince to learn?" ? If you don’t want to go, I would like to send someone to ask for leave with the Grand Master first.”

Shen Zhi thought about it, if she seized the time now, she would be a little late at most when she went again, it was better than missing half a day of class.

After all, if it was late, she could still get away with staying in bed for a while; but if she missed half a day of class, she would not be able to explain it if the grand teacher pursued it.

Thinking about it, Shen Zhi was about to refuse, but suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen.She tried to move, but it hurt more and more.

Seeing that noble concubine's expression was not uncomfortable last night, she thought that Guishui was not something to bear, but now she realizes that menstruation is actually so unbearable.

The pain in her abdomen became more and more obvious, she couldn't help shrinking her body tighter, and some cold sweat broke out from her body.

Seeing her like this, Du Qinning couldn't bear to persuade her: "Your Highness, why don't you go today, the Grand Master is also a good talker, and he won't embarrass Your Highness."

"Let's just use the sudden feeling of discomfort as an excuse. It's okay to say that I ate something unclean yesterday." At this point, Shen Zhi had no choice but to respond, gritted his teeth slightly and said.

Du Qinning nodded in accordance with Shen Zhi's words, then pointed to the menstrual belt and the middle coat on the bed and said, "Your Highness, please put these on first. But your Highness should be familiar with this thing for the first time, so you can talk to your Highness about it." How to use it?"

It is indeed the first time for Shen Zhi to see a menstruation belt, but how dare she ask Du Qinning to tell her about it.She thought about looking at such a simple thing, maybe she could do it with a little groping.

Just as he was thinking about it, the feeling came back again, and Shen Zhi couldn't help but express some urgency in his words, saying: "Should be able to, Qin Ning will go and explain the matter to the prince school first. If you go late, the Grand Master might send someone over to look for the orphan." She was also embarrassed to change her coat in front of Du Qinning, so she had to send her away first.

"Okay, the minister is going out first. Your Highness will call the minister in after changing, so that the minister can dispose of all these things."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi nodded his head as a promise, and Du Qinning withdrew.

After Du Qinning left, Shen Zhi picked up the menstrual belt and looked around, and he understood a little bit, so he changed it according to his own understanding while thinking about it.

She changed her middle clothes again, wrapped her original clothes together with the soiled sheets, then put on her outer clothes and went to the door to look for Du Qinning.

After Du Qinning sent a reliable palace man to explain the situation to the prince, he filled a basin of hot water and waited at the door.Seeing that Shen Zhi came out, and seeing that her complexion was a little better than before, she felt relieved a little, and followed her into the house again with a basin in hand.

The things on the bed were packed by Shen Zhi and put aside. Seeing this, Du Qinning found a new set and put it on, and then reminded Shen Zhi to let her lie back on the bed again.

Du Qinning made the hot towel in the basin into a long strip, carefully placed it on the place where Shen Zhi felt pain, and covered her again with the quilt.

"Is Your Highness feeling better?" Du Qinning asked tentatively while sitting beside Shen Zhi's bed after doing all this.

Shen Zhi nodded: "Yes, but it still hurts." She was a little fortunate, at least she could express her true feelings in front of Du Qinning without shy away.

"It's mostly like this after my daughter's family comes to the moon, but Your Highness must learn to pay more attention to your body in these few days in the future, otherwise it may hurt more." As she spoke, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a faintly red woman beside her. Bu Tuan stood up again and hugged those things in his arms, "I will deal with these things first, Your Highness will rest here for a while."

These can't be hidden in the sleeves, so they have to hold them in their hands.

"En." Shen Zhi replied, leaning on the pillow and leaning back a little.It's just that she suddenly felt a little lost in her heart, as if her own world was suddenly disrupted, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only sigh secretly.

On the other side, Du Qinning carried the things out of the hall, planning to hide them in his side hall temporarily, and wash them secretly at night.She usually does the same thing herself, and no one has ever discovered it.

Du Qinning was thinking about things in her heart, and with the fact that there were already people coming and going in the White House, she naturally didn't notice that there were actually two unusual "guests" not far away.

She walked with her head down, and she was about to enter the side hall, but she didn't expect to bump into a person head-on.

"Ouch!" the maid who was hit by her yelled in pain.

However, Du Qinning, who didn't know how to pity and cherish jade, only focused on the things in his hands, thinking that fortunately she was just bumped, and the things didn't fall apart.

She breathed a sigh of relief as if she was grateful, and looked up, but was stunned for an instant.

"Imperial Concubine." She hurriedly knelt down to salute, but her hands still did not let go of the thing, on the contrary, she grasped it even tighter.

Her throat moved involuntarily, and her eyes kept lingering on that thing without moving away.

But sometimes, the more people value something, the easier it is for that thing to be targeted.For example, now, when Liu Shuyan saw that she hadn't let go of the thing in her hand even when she knelt down, she immediately became curious about it.

After avoiding Du Qinning's gift, and symbolically "pacifying" the maid who was bumped, she asked with great interest: "What is this in your hand? Why did you meet me?" , so nervous?"
