Hu Jiaoyue's words made Luo Nianxi feel uneasy.

None of these women had ever been pregnant. She originally thought it was Chu Hanxiang's fault, but now, she had another terrible idea, that is, could this matter be related to Hu Jiaoyue?

After having this thought, she suddenly shuddered. Hu Jiaoyue hurriedly reminded her with concern.

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you cold? If you feel cold, put on more clothes."

"Thank you for your concern, sister. It's not cold. I want to sleep for a while. Please go ahead, sister!"

Seeing that she had ordered them to leave, Hu Jiaoyue stood up.

"Then take a good rest, sister. I've left some cakes here. If you're hungry, you can eat some. I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Hu Jiaoyue turned and left with a smile on her face.

Seeing her leave, Bai Lan came over and whispered,

"Miss, is this Crown Princess here to show her goodwill? Or does she have another purpose?"

Luo Nianxi's brows tightened in an instant. Even the girl Bai Lan could think of the problem, so naturally she could think of it as well.

She picked up the cake she had left behind, looked around, and sniffed it before she told Bai Lan:

"It's not certain yet, time will tell. By the way, how about Princess Rujing?"

"Princess Rujing has been feeling drowsy and sleepy all day. I sent the tranquilizer you gave her, but it was snatched away by that girl Ye Zi."

"what?"

Luo Nianxi stood up immediately. The medicine was the antiemetic and folic acid she had given to Leng Rujing. If someone found out...

No, she took those pills out from the operating room. Not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial physician would not be able to find anything.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll take a nap first, and then I'll personally give her the medicine. I need to find a chance to teach that girl Ye a lesson."

"Yes, Miss, I will go out first."

After leaving these words, Bai Lan turned and left.

After Hu Jiaoyue came out of Luo Nianxi's room, she came to the side hall where Leng Rujing lived.

Leng Rujing had been in a bad state these days, and she looked listless. She reluctantly nodded to Hu Jiaoyue when she arrived.

"Crown Princess, why are you here?"

"I heard you were ill, so I came to see you. Have you consulted a doctor? If not, let the prince find an imperial physician in the palace!"

Leng Rujing quickly shook her head.

"That's not necessary. I just can't adapt to the local climate. I'll be fine in a few days."

"That's good. I just came from Princess Xi's place. She's not in good health either. You sisters are really the same. By the way, I heard that she was a princess conferred by the emperor and is not of royal descent. Is this true?"

Before Leng Rujing could answer, Ye Zi interrupted and said:

"Of course it's true. Our princess is the emperor's eldest daughter. She is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and..."

"leaf……"

Leng Rujing was afraid that Ye Zi would speak without restraint and say something she shouldn't, so she hurriedly stopped her.

Ye Zi quickly stopped talking and dared not say anything more.

Hu Jiaoyue may have seen through Leng Rujing's thoughts and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, you should take good care of yourself these few days. When I have time, I will take you to visit the capital. You will live here in the future, so you should understand the local customs and practices."

Leng Rujing nodded weakly.

"Thank you, Princess."

Seeing that she seemed to be in great pain, Hu Jiaoyue stood up and said goodbye to her.

"Then you take a good rest. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Leng Rujing was eager for her to leave, so she waved at her.

"Go slowly, Princess!"

Before leaving, Hu Jiaoyue looked at Ye Zi deeply.

After lunch, Ye Zi was called out by Achu, the maid beside Hu Jiaoyue.

As a newcomer, even though Ye Zi liked to act like a bully in the capital, he didn't dare to do anything wrong here.

So when facing Ah Chu, she acted very cautiously.

"Sister Achu, you called me here, what's the matter?"

Ah Chu took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it into her hand.

"Ye Zi, you've just arrived in Northern Chu, and this is a welcome gift from your sister."

The leaves were somewhat panicked.

"Sister, this is unacceptable!"

Ah Chu put the silver ingot into her hand, held her hand, and patted it vigorously.

"Take it. Living here requires a lot of money. If you feel unworthy of it, you might as well tell me something about Princess Xi. I am very interested in her."

Hearing this, Ye Zi lowered his head and pondered it secretly.

Anyway, she couldn't stand Luo Nianxi the most, so what did it matter if she told her some things that were known to everyone?

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and whispered in Ah Chu's ear...

……

Luo Nianxi slept until night, and only opened her eyes lazily when Bai Lan called her to get up.

Perhaps it was because of the change in climate and soil, she always felt sleepy after coming here.

"Miss, His Highness is back. He said he would have dinner with you later."

Luo Nianxi stretched out her body and muttered softly,

"Eating with him is like being tortured."

"Miss, you should make the best of it. In my opinion, His Highness treats you well..."

"Shut up."

She scolded coldly,

"Do you really think this place is your home? I told you long ago that coming here is just a temporary solution."

"But...but the prince's body can't bring you happiness, this servant is doing this for your own good..."

"Silly girl, you are not doing this for my own good, you are trying to harm me. Haven't you seen that the prince has one wife and six concubines in his mansion? Do you want me to play a palace drama with them?"

Bai Lan shook her head in confusion.

"Miss, I don't understand what you are saying."

She waved her hands impatiently.

"Forget it. Anyway, remember, we have to learn to protect ourselves here. Sooner or later, we will leave here."

Although Bai Lan didn't quite understand what she said, she still nodded in agreement.

"The servant knows."

Luo Nianxi sometimes felt that she was a real contradiction and changed her mind from time to time.

She didn't know what she was waiting for, but she knew that this place didn't belong to her.

But she was sure that even if she had no feelings for Leng Yiyan, she would not marry a man like Chu Hanxiang who had many wives and concubines at home, no matter how good Chu Hanxiang was to her.

While thinking about this, Bai Lan heard footsteps coming from the outer room, and hurried out to see.

After a while, she returned quickly.

"Miss, the food is ready, and His Royal Highness is here, waiting for you."

She was afraid that if she arrived a step late, Chu Hanxiang would run in, so she hurriedly put on her shoes, went downstairs, and walked towards the outer room.

Seeing her come out, Chu Hanxiang changed his serious expression and looked at her with a smile.

"Girl, did you sleep well?"

She nodded.

"That's fine. Your Highness, you don't have to come all the way to have dinner with me tomorrow. It's too much trouble."

He walked forward and pulled the chair out, motioning for her to sit down, then he sat beside her.

"How can this be called trouble? I am willing to have dinner with you."

"Your Highness, you have several concubines in this house, and it is inappropriate for you to only accompany me."

"It's okay. I've already written the divorce letter. Tomorrow morning, they will take the divorce letter and leave the Prince's Mansion. From now on, you will be half the owner here. I will also tell Hu Jiaoyue to be polite to you."
