After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Qi Xi stared at his belly, with a hint of loss in his deep vertical pupils.

Fortunately, before coming here, the Monster Management Bureau had sealed up most of his spiritual power in order to prevent the abuse of spiritual power, and only a small part of it was drawn away.

[There are two ways now. One is that I absorb the essence of the sun and the moon every day. The other is that you complete tasks that can gain spiritual power. I can also get some spiritual power from it, which can be used to support me to change my body form.]

"In that case, it would be better to complete the task as soon as possible."

Xiyu was a little worried. Among the three remaining tasks, one was her most important task, which meant that she needed to give birth to two sons and one daughter to complete it.

There are two more. One is to repair the rift between Concubine De and Yinzhen; the other is to help the first wife give birth to a child smoothly.

The earliest we can do this is to wait three or four months for the first wife to give birth safely.

It takes a long time and is not easy to complete.

And there is still no clue about the death of the Sixth Prince.

"Is Fu Jin awake?"

Chunshi's soft voice came from outside the window, and Xiyu subconsciously stuffed the little snake back into the box and closed the lid.

"woke up."

She said calmly, then got up from the bed and stuffed the box back into the drawer.

"You stay here first, and I'll let you out when there's no one around."

The porridge for breakfast contained some shredded meat and vegetables. It was cooked very soft and glutinous, with a light salty taste, just right.

She ate it with relish and couldn't help but have another bowl.

"Where did Xia Ying go so early in the morning?"

Xiyu was curious about the lame nanny from yesterday and was thinking of asking Xia Ying to investigate it carefully.

"Previously, Madam Su sent a message, asking Master Jingtai to help find some rouge and powder for use during pregnancy. Although the Fourth Master later sent it, there was no need for an extra portion, but Master Jingtai hasn't sent any news so far. She felt something was wrong, so she thought of asking."

Something is definitely wrong.

Logically speaking, her fourth brother should have sent the things to the palace as soon as possible, but it has been seven or eight days and there is still no news.

"If she comes back, tell her to come to me immediately."

On daily basis, Xia Ying was in charge of the transmission of information inside and outside the palace, as well as various overt and covert schemes in the palace.

"Yes."

After breakfast, the weather outside was good again, and she sat on the swing in the yard, bored, her legs gently swinging in a slight circle.

There was a palace maid standing in front and behind her, and they looked like they were afraid that she would fall.

But in fact, she didn't swing high at all.

Xiyu laughed. In the past, people around her were very careful because of her poor health. Now that she was pregnant, they were even more nervous. She didn't know if she was tired or not.

The breeze brushed across her face, softly and warmly, blowing away the loose hair on her forehead, and seemed to blow away the slight melancholy in her heart.

Everything in this palace is good except that there are too few extracurricular activities, which are far less interesting than those outside the palace.

How wonderful it would be if we could go shopping and play freely like we do outside the palace.

When she closed her eyes and imagined these beautiful times, she suddenly heard the voice of Haruhiko.

"Fujin, Princess Li is here to pay her respects to you."

Chun Shi's voice was calm and peaceful, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Li's?

He hasn't appeared for some time since the last haunting incident, and she almost forgot about his existence.

Xiyu looked towards the entrance of Danruoju and saw that Li was standing outside the door with her maids, waiting for her to summon her.

"Let her in."

She nodded slightly. Since it was really boring, he just chatted with her.

"I, your maid, pay my respects to you, Madam. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

Li walked to the front of the swing, squatted down, and bowed solemnly, looking extremely respectful.

She was wearing a light pink cheongsam today, embroidered with fresh and elegant lotus flowers.

There is a thumb-sized sachet hanging on the round fan in her hand, which exudes a faint fragrance.

She wore a hollow butterfly hairpin made of gold and silver on her temples, which was exquisite yet not vulgar, and suited her very well.

I found a style that suits her.

"Get up, what brought you here today?"

Xiyu moved her nose slightly and confirmed that the sachet contained only mosquito-repellent herbs. Then she asked someone to bring her a stool and place it under the tree.

Li put her hand on the fair wrist, stood up, twisted her waist and sat on the stool, with a smile on her face, inadvertently revealing a bit of charm.

Xiyu lowered her long eyelashes, and a hint of doubt flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.

Why does this Li family seem a little different?

Judging from the appearance alone, there was no difference, but the feeling around her... made her unable to describe it.

"Today is the first day of the new year. I was thinking that ever since Sister Song——"

Li paused for a moment, as if she felt that it was inappropriate to call him that now, and changed her words in a gentle voice.

"Since Song left Dongsanso, I have been seriously ill. When I recovered, you went to Huai'an. I haven't paid my respects to you for a long time, and I feel guilty."

I would be happiest if you didn't come.

Xiyu curled her lips in her heart, but still had a gentle smile on her face.

"You do have a heart."

Her voice was calm and no emotion could be heard.

The weather was hot, and even when sitting under a tree to cool off, Xiyu's voice was weak.

Li spoke to her for a few more words, and perhaps knowing that the lady didn't like her, she stood up and said goodbye and left.

Xiyu looked at her back and fell into deep thought. What had changed?

On the way back to Shengheju from Danruoju, Li deliberately took a detour.

"Gege, just go ahead and you'll find the small kitchen."

Jiaobai reminded in a low voice.

"I know, just stand here for a while."

Li said calmly, and when she raised her eyes, ripples appeared in them, as if they were filled with tears.

Jiaobai was puzzled, but a servant could not be the master of his master.

But in just a moment, a dark blue figure appeared in Li's pupils.

He was holding a food box in his hand and walked straight towards her.

"Girl Li, good luck."

Perhaps because he entered the palace late, his voice was not as childish or shrill as those of other young eunuchs, but slightly deeper, with some masculine charm.

Under the conical eunuch's hat was an angular face, and the pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to contain a thousand kinds of tenderness, which was particularly attractive.

If Xiyu saw it, she would definitely remember that this eunuch was the tall man who followed the palace maid that day.

"Ah."

Li responded indifferently, then raised the corner of her lips slightly and walked away from him.

The road was a bit narrow and there was no way three people could pass side by side.

The cuffs of Li's sleeves, which were embroidered with delicate lotus flowers, gently rubbed the other person's shoulder.

Although there was cloth between us, it made people feel inexplicably hot.

Shen Yu's eyes were hot, but also full of vicious coldness.

After Li walked away, he picked up the food box and left.

Shengheju

As soon as Li came back, she immediately tore off the sachet from the fan and threw it on the table as if it was a hot potato.

Then she lit the candle on the table and set the sachet alight.

There was a secret sight in the yard, looking into the house from time to time with an inquiring look.

"Princess..." Jiaobai's voice hesitated.

The princess burned the sachet as soon as she came back. It seemed like she was destroying evidence.

"Don't ask too many questions about things you don't understand. Knowing too much will do you no good."

Li's voice was gentle, but her words carried a hint of coldness.

Although it was just a reminder, it made her break out in a cold sweat in such hot weather.

"Yes."

Jiaobai pushed the door open and closed it, blocking the inquiring gaze.

The light in the room dimmed a little, and she lowered her eyes to look at the sachet in her hand.

As the flames licked the silk thread, wisps of white smoke emerged.

Her eyes were somewhat complicated, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

She wasn't stupid enough to actually put poison in the sachet, but if she did nothing, Tong Jia Qingtang would be dissatisfied, which would bring her more trouble.

Now, this way, I can still confuse her a little, let her relax her vigilance, and allow myself to live a quiet life.

The air is filled with the aroma of burning herbs...
