Li Qingyi sometimes felt that Wang Xuan was becoming more and more profound.

Especially at a time like this.

It is obvious that even if it was just relaying, Wang Xuan seemed to have communicated with the emperor and accurately received the message that the emperor wanted to convey.

Li Qingyi: Then I leave?

Li Qingyi: [What's going on? ]

Wang Xuan: [Well, the emperor just wanted you to remind me. After all, no one else knows about the existence of the team chat, only we know about it.]

Wang Xuan: [But the emperor has the Qingyi Guards under his command, and he is also very smart. He should have noticed from our past actions that you and I have a special communication channel, but he has only shown it now.]

Li Qingyi: […Ah, I thought he already knew it. ]

Wang Xuan: [You knew it a long time ago. ]

Chen Qicong popped up at this time: [So, this time someone must have whispered something in the emperor's ear, or the Qingyi Guards must have found out something, and in order not to alert the enemy, they informed us in this way.]

Li Qingyi: […So I am just a mouthpiece? ]

Wang Xuan seemed to smile and said, "It may be a test. If the teacher is worried, please write me a letter in English later."

Li Qingyi: […OK.]

Then Li Qingyi did as he was told.

As for how Wang Xuan should respond, the other party told Li Qingyi to just wait for news.

As a result, the wait lasted for half a month.

Half a month later, Li Qingyi was sitting in the corridor reading the letter Xie Wei wrote to her. Along with the letter were a few bookmarks made of maple leaves.

She had just read the beginning when she moved her ears and heard some unusual footsteps coming from outside, which seemed a little hurried.

"Go and see what's going on?" Li Qingyi looked up and asked.

Fang Xin sat aside making velvet flowers. The palace maid in the corner quietly left like a shadow and came back in less than a moment.

"The news was sent in from outside the palace."

Li Qingyi raised an eyebrow and put the letter paper on the small table beside him. "Bring it here."

As he spoke, he picked up a pomegranate from the fruit bowl and pressed it on the letter paper and maple leaf to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

Soon, a palace maid brought in a woman, and then Li Qingyi received good news and bad news.

The good news is that Wang Xuan announced the good news that she is pregnant.

The bad news is that she was hit in the carriage today and had a miscarriage.

Li Qingyi: ...

When Li Qingyi heard the two pieces of news, his mind went blank for a while. After a long while, he asked in a daze: "How is she doing now?!"

Having said this, Li Qingyi stood up, but for some reason his hands and feet felt weak and he staggered. As a martial artist, he almost fell down on the spot.

Fang Xin and Qing Lian, who appeared out of nowhere, supported her on the left and right. The woman seemed to realize that she had frightened this respected princess. Her already nervous expression became even more frightened and her face turned pale.

Fortunately, she still remembered what she was going to say, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Madam is fine. She is just a little frightened and needs to rest in the mansion for a while. Because Madam had previously agreed to meet with Your Highness, she was afraid that she would break the appointment, so I asked this servant to come to the palace to inform you."

After hearing that nothing was wrong, Li Qingyi felt as if the stagnant blood in his veins began to flow again, and his sanity finally came back to him. At the same time, he also heard the voice of the system.

System: […She’s fine! She’s just pretending! Host, don’t be afraid! Host, have you forgotten that I’m here!]

Li Qingyi: Oh, that’s right.

She let the system keep an eye on the people she cared about. Normally, everything would be fine, but once they were in danger, the system would send her an alert.

How could I be caught off guard like this!

At this time, Li Qingyi recalled again whether the woman's words just now seemed to have deliberately misled him, but after recalling it this way, he found that... it seemed that she was stunned when she heard that Wang Xuan was in trouble.

Li Qingyi: ...

Uh.

Maybe she has poor stress tolerance?

In the end, Li Qingyi asked the woman to explain in detail the cause of the incident. She learned that Wang Xuan was hit by another out-of-control carriage on the way to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce headquarters, which caused her to have a miscarriage. Since then, she always felt something was wrong.

However, in front of others, Li Qingyi suppressed those doubts in her heart and used the most perfect acting skills of her life to complete the scene in front of her.

Li Qingyi: "I am not at ease listening to you talking here. Well, I will go with you to visit her at her mansion."

After saying that, Li Qingyi gave Fang Xin a look, and after breaking free from the support of the two people, he took a step forward and his peripheral vision caught sight of the things on the small table. He paused, then turned back, put away the things on the table, put them against his chest, and then led them out of the palace directly.

Fang Xin said from behind: "I will go and tell the Queen."

Li Qingyi: “Yeah.”

But the man did not look back.

——————————————————————————————

When the queen received the news, she was surprised: "Is the baby in trouble?"

Fang Xin lowered her eyes: "Yes, that's what the maid who delivered the news said. I heard that she is the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, so she should be more familiar with the news in the mansion."

The queen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since you have diagnosed pregnancy, can you confirm the date?"

Fang Xin paused, then realized that when the maid spoke just now, she did not specify how many months Wang Xuan's good news would be. After a moment of shock, she said, "They only said that she was pregnant, but did not say the date."

Queen: "This...Yier has already left the palace?"

Fang Xin: "His Highness was worried, so he took his people away at that time."

"Did you bring the imperial physician?"

"Never."

The queen rubbed her brows and looked at her confidant: "You go there in person and ask the Imperial Hospital to send a doctor who specializes in this field. By the way, please help me check on the girl. If there is anything missing, please send someone back to inform me and take it from the palace storehouse."

"Yes."

After giving the order, the queen frowned, and seemed a little anxious. She stood up and paced around the hall, and asked Fang Xin: "Before this, was there anything wrong with Yi'er?"

Fang Xin lowered her eyes: "No."

The Queen murmured, "Then it should be nothing."

Although she was not quite sure about the situation, but... that was not right. If it was just an accident and not a human plan, Li Qingyi would not have been able to know about it in advance even if he had a system, and naturally he would not have shown anything wrong before.

In recent years, Li Qingyi's ability to conceal his emotions has improved, but in front of the Queen and other cunning people, it is basically useless.

But for those who don't know her, it may be of some use.

Finally, the queen pinched her brows and waved her hand: "You go back and wait first. If Yi'er needs anything when she comes back, you will have to help her open the warehouse."

Fang Xin bowed: "Yes, I will take my leave."
