After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"My Lord, Mo Yi is back!"

Xiao Minshen and Shen Yunjin looked at each other.

"Hurry up and let him come in and answer the question!"

Mo Yi walked into the room and said, "This subordinate greets the prince and concubine!"

Xiao Minshen first looked Mo Yi up and down and found that he looked normal.

Then he began to ask, "What took so long?"

Mo Yi was silent for a moment, "After I sent the young master there, I was worried that he would not be able to adapt, so I stayed with him for two more days."

"I encountered some problems on the way back, so I came back late."

When Xiao Minshen heard this, he said, "Okay, since you are back safely, go and rest first."

When Shen Yunjin saw Mo Yi coming back, she felt relieved to know that her son was safe.

"Yes, go and get some rest, eat, and then get some sleep."

Shen Yunjin saw that Mo Yi had heavy bruises under his eyes and his face was full of fatigue.

Mo Yi smiled gratefully at Shen Yunjin: "Don't worry, Concubine, the young master was not used to it at the beginning, but he was very happy every day afterwards."

"He has chosen a place for the new house, and he said he would have a large mansion built for you."

"Brat!" Xiao Minshen realized that this son only had his mother in his eyes.

Shen Yunjin comforted Xiao Minshen with a smile, "The child is still young, why are you still arguing with him about this?"

Xiao Minshen awkwardly turned his face away and pointed at Shen Yunjin's belly, "This baby must be a girl."

Shen Yunjin touched her belly and said, "What if it's not a daughter?"

"Then keep giving birth until you give birth to a daughter."

Shen Yunjin was shocked. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Xiao Minshen.

"I'm not a pig..." she muttered.

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin's little expression and couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time in a few days that he felt happy.

Xiao Minshen stayed for a while, then found an excuse to go to the study.

He stopped Mo Yi from speaking just now because he didn't want Shen Yunjin to worry too much after hearing it.

Shen Yunjin is about to give birth and has not been sleeping well these past few nights.

He didn't want a weak woman like her to worry about it.

Mo Yi was already waiting in the study.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"When I came back, I encountered a group of masked men trying to assassinate the Second Prince."

"I was a little more cautious and was hiding and watching from the side."

"I saw the Second Prince sneak down the mountain and go to the temple where the Second Princess was practicing."

"Whose owner is the masked man?"

Xiao Minshen interrupted Mo Yi.

"I was hiding in a tree at the time and heard the masked man say that he had finally completed the task assigned by the crown prince and could now report back."

Xiao Minshen habitually touched the ring on his left hand with his right hand.

"Go on."

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed on the tree for a long time before coming down."

"By the time I found the temple, the Second Empress had already passed away."

"I will wait until the Second Prince leaves and then inquire about the Second Princess in the temple."

"I went out of the city yesterday afternoon. I had to pee urgently, so I found a place to relieve myself.

I happened to see the Third Princess and the eldest son being carried by several masked men onto another carriage."

"I found the masked men looked familiar, so I followed them."

"Unfortunately, I was discovered halfway through following you, so I had to turn around and leave."

"and after?"

"Later, I went over there in the dark and saw that it was a dilapidated temple."

"When I went there, I saw a few beggars bullying the Third Princess."

"I will go up and take care of him, then throw him to the dogs."

"I didn't dare to leave, so I stayed outside the ruined temple."

"I didn't leave until dawn when the Third Prince's men came looking for me."

Xiao Minshen thought about the news he received in the morning.

The third imperial concubine committed suicide and the eldest nephew died.

And all this was done by the prince.

It seems that the prince has started to take action!

"Fulu, ask Mo Er to go to Doctor Li's residence."

"Tell him to go to the Yangxin Palace tonight. I am worried that the crown prince will take action against my father."

"Yes." Fulu agreed and quickly went to make arrangements.

"Go and take a rest first. Who knows, we may have a tough battle to fight later."

Excitement appeared on Mo Yi's tired face.

"I obey my orders!"

Shen Yunjin actually knew that Xiao Minshen had deliberately tried to stop Mo Yi from speaking.

Since the King of Qi didn't want her to worry, she would just pretend she didn't know.

"Jinzhi, find a few strong maids and send them to Concubine Liu's courtyard."

"Does your Majesty mean to put Concubine Liu under house arrest?"

"No, just in case."

"Remember, be sure to find a few trustworthy people!"

"Yes." Jinzhi screened the candidates in her mind and walked out.

"My queen, do we have to carry the crossbow with us again?"

Yang Liu asked excitedly.

She had previously given her crossbow to the prince, and later, she was given another one.

However, because he was worried about accidentally hurting his own people, Shen Yunjin asked everyone to withdraw.

The other people in the room also looked at Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "Well, take it with you. It's better to be prepared."

"Take out mine as well." She ordered again.

Shen Yunjin touched her belly. In the past few days, her belly began to contract from time to time.

Shen Yunjin, who had given birth once, knew that the baby in her belly was eager to come out.

Linglong once said that babies born ten days before or after the due date are all normal.

Xiao Minshen had already found a midwife and a wet nurse in advance.

"Yuzhi, go and bring the midwife and the wet nurse into the house."

Just in case, Shen Yunjin decided to call the midwife in ahead of time.

At worst, I can just give a little more silver.

Doctor Li was about to rest, but when he heard Mo Er's words, he quickly put on his clothes.

Mo Er escorted him into the palace gate and then returned to report.

Because Doctor Li was an imperial physician for several generations, no one stopped him from entering the palace.

But when he was about to reach the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, a eunuch suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.

"Doctor Li, why are you still in the palace so late?"

Doctor Li took a look at the eunuch in front of him. It was a strange face.

"Who are you? Where is Eunuch An?"

The eunuch cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch An will naturally stay by the emperor's side."

Imperial Physician Li raised his foot to walk around him and push open the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Suddenly he felt a pain in the back of his neck and passed out.

Eunuch An was watching the Queen feeding the Emperor medicine when he suddenly heard a movement at the door.

He opened the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and looked outside.

There was only the cold moonlight outside, and the entire garden was silent.

Eunuch An was worried, so he stepped out of the door and looked around.

Still no one was seen, Eunuch An thought it was a night owl flying by, so he returned to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as his door was closed, the eunuch walked out from the shadows on the side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
