I just want to rob you of your luck

In the days that followed, Hu Yunshao not only did not target Lin Jiuer, but also had people send her a lot of fabrics and jewelry as rewards.

She did this to show her magnanimity as a legal wife and to make Zhou Yixuan remember her kindness.

Zhou Yichen just took the time to go over and have a meal with her, said a few words to comfort her, and then left, leaving Hu Yunshao a little disappointed.

At the same time, he became even more jealous of Lin Jiuer.

Zhou Yichen would go to the camp outside the capital to be on duty every day. This was Zhou Yichen’s previous public office, but it was just an unimportant position, so he could still go back to the prince’s mansion to rest every day.

As soon as he returned home, he went straight to Qingzhu Courtyard and stayed with Lin Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer found a lot of books in the mansion and began to teach him some tips on how to be a king.

It's not that she didn't think about hiring some famous teachers to teach him, but that would be too risky. If Hu Yunshao knew about it, he would definitely become suspicious.

Zhou Yichen also knew that Lin Jiuer was doing this for his own good, so he studied very hard.

At the same time, Lin Jiuer asked him to learn to imitate Zhou Yixuan's handwriting, all to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Zhou Yichen used to live in a small village, and learned literacy and martial arts from Tao Bo.

Recently he has come into contact with many children of officials and realized that his vision and knowledge are not even as good as those of some of them.

How could a person like me catch the emperor's eye and become the crown prince?

He didn't expect that Lin Jiuer not only had superb medical skills, but also had such talent in governing the country.

I admired Lin Jiuer even more in my heart.

He really enjoyed the process of communicating and learning with Lin Jiuer. He made rapid progress and became much more stable.

But he and Lin Jiuer were together every day, which made Hu Yunshao unable to bear it anymore.

On this day, Zhou Yichen came back from work and went straight back to Qingzhuyuan.

When he was about to have dinner with Lin Jiuer, Mingyue, Hu Yunshao's maid, came.

"Your Highness, the princess is not feeling well today. Would you please go and see her?"

Zhou Yichen knew that he did not have the ability to break off relations with Hu Yunshao yet. After all, he still needed the support of the Hu family.

So he looked at Lin Jiuer in embarrassment and said, "Jiuer, I'll go see Yun Shao, you eat first."

Lin Jiuer pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted: "When the prince's wife was sick, she didn't go to the palace doctor, but came to see Your Highness. How strange."

Zhou Yichen pretended to scold: "Jiu'er, don't say that about Yun Shao. After all, she is the mistress of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. You have to respect her."

After saying that, he followed Mingyue and left Qingzhuyuan.

When we arrived at Cuiyun Courtyard, we saw Hu Yunshao leaning on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, looking sick.

"Yun Shao, how are you? Have you called the palace doctor?"

Hu Yunshao opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yixuan with surprise.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

She looked at Mingyue with a reproachful look: "I just caught a cold last night, it's nothing serious, just drink some ginger soup to sweat, how could you alarm His Highness?"

Mingyue knelt down with a thump of grievance: "It is my fault, but I really can't bear to see the prince's wife become ill with longing, unable to sleep at night, and sitting until dawn, so I took the initiative to ask the Seventh Prince to come and ask the master to punish me."

Hu Yunshao's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "Forget it, it's my fault. I'll let it go this time, but you must never be so reckless in the future and disturb His Highness's rest, understand?"

Mingyue kowtowed quickly in response.

Then he looked at Hu Yunshao pleadingly: "Master, you haven't eaten much today, why don't you let His Highness accompany you to eat a little?"

Zhou Yichen watched the master and servant acting out their true feelings, as if Hu Yunshao had suffered a lot of grievances but was enduring them all.

He felt disdainful in his heart and was almost choked by the smell of powder in the room.

No one would believe that a patient would be in the mood to dress up so carefully.

However, he still had to pretend to cooperate.

It was just a meal together, and he could still do that.

"Yun Shao, you can't skip meals even if you're sick. Someone, bring some food. I'll eat with you."

Hu Yunshao looked at Zhou Yichen gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My illness has been mostly cured since you are here. I do feel a little hungry now."

She stretched out a hand towards Zhou Yichen, wanting him to help her up, and Zhou Yichen was stunned.

He really didn't want to touch this woman's hand. He had heard from Lin Jiuer about Hu Yunshao's deeds.

This woman appears to be dignified and generous on the surface, but in fact she is narrow-minded and does things viciously and cruelly behind the scenes. She has subdued all the women in Zhou Yixuan's backyard.

But if he didn't help her, it would probably arouse her suspicion.

Zhou Yichen gritted his teeth and grabbed her hand. With a gentle push, Hu Yunshao actually stood up and leaned into his arms.

Zhou Yichen almost pushed the person out again.

He stiffened his body and helped Hu Yunshao sit down at the dining table.

Hu Yunshao still snuggled in his arms and didn't want to move.

At this time, the table of food had been set.

Mingyue served them both a bowl of chicken soup.

Hu Yunshao said considerately: "Your Highness, this chicken soup has been simmering for a day. Please taste it and see how it tastes."

There was anticipation in her eyes, which made Zhou Yichen a little alert. Would this woman drug him?

Zhou Yichen was anxious. Didn’t Lin Jiuer agree that she would help him out if a woman called him out?

Why haven't you come yet?

He pretended to be considerate and said, "Yun Shao, you should drink more chicken soup to replenish your body. You have lost a lot of weight recently. You should eat more."

He seemed calm, but in fact he was panicking.

He didn't want to have any physical relationship with this vicious woman.

Hu Yunshao did not object, and her bowl naturally had no added ingredients.

She elegantly picked up the soup spoon and took a few sips, then looked at Zhou Yichen again: "The chicken soup tastes delicious, and it also contains Scrophularia and wolfberry, which can replenish qi and blood. Your Highness should drink more after recovering from a serious illness."

As he said that, he picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of it, intending to feed it to Zhou Yichen himself.

Just as he was about to drink the drink and couldn't refuse, he heard a noise outside the yard.

"You servants are so presumptuous! I am the concubine of the Seventh Prince, how dare you stop me from seeing him? Seventh Prince! I am also not feeling well, please come out and see me!"

Zhou Yichen was delighted and quickly pushed away the soup spoon in front of him and stood up.

"Jiu'er is here, why don't you let her in?"

Hu Yunshao looked at Zhou Yixuan's nervous expression and gritted his teeth in anger. It turned out that Zhou Yixuan was indeed interested in Lin Jiuer.

This Lin Jiuer is so abominable. It seems that this plan will fail.

Everything was ready. She could keep Zhou Yixuan as long as he drank the bowl of chicken soup with aphrodisiac added.

Her brother found a secret medicine for her to help her get pregnant. As long as they had physical contact, she would definitely conceive a legitimate son.

By then, even if she no longer has Zhou Yixuan's favor, she will have her own son. Everything in the palace will belong to her son, and she will be able to easily control Lin Jiuer.

It's a pity that just when it's about to happen, that damn Lin Jiuer comes out to mess things up again!

But she had to be magnanimous and ask someone to invite Lin Jiuer in.

As soon as Lin Jiuer came in, she threw herself on Zhou Yichen and said, "Your Highness, I miss you so much. By the way, I have good news to tell Your Highness."

Zhou Yichen helplessly put his arm around Lin Jiuer's waist, saying in a doting tone, "What good news?"

"Your Highness, I am one month pregnant."
