Li's voice was very soft, his eyes were half closed, and his body was covered with scars.

Although she didn't receive any favor, she was used to a life of luxury and was exhausted after all this ordeal.

Li was disheartened and unable to struggle anymore, only because Jiaobai had revealed the final secret.

"I have been taking care of you personally. Your period comes on the tenth of every month. Last month, it was not on time. After you went to see a doctor, you kept saying you were sick and could not go out. Don't think I don't know that you are pregnant."

"Everyone knows who it belongs to."

From time to time, low cries of pain were heard in the room. Gao Wuyong stood at the door and watched coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Gao Wuyong walked out of the yard, and before leaving, he ordered a few people to lock Shen Yu in the woodshed. Knowing that he had some kung fu skills, he sent two people who knew martial arts to watch him in turns.

In the study, Gao Wuyong reported the situation to him, "Master, the maidservant next to Li is quite ruthless. We should be able to get something out of her soon."

Yinzhen seemed to be completely uncomfortable with this, and was busy carving a piece of warm jade.

Without even looking up, he ordered, "Pass it through her hands once, and then you pass it again."

"Master, I dare to ask, what should we do with those two people in Tingyuxuan? If you find out anything, you must do it immediately-"

"Not yet. Right now, Yinsi has just gotten into trouble and is at the center of public attention. Detain the two of them for now and have someone keep a close eye on them. After a while, we will fulfill her wish and make her leave Prince Yong's mansion."

Gao Wuyong hesitated and spoke slowly, "Is he alive or dead?"

Yinzhen glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Gao Wuyong lowered his head and stopped asking this stupid question. Instead, he secretly thought about how he should execute the two men.

White silk? Fishing line? Crane crown red? Gelsemium elegans? Dagger?

He thought about the scene and it seemed not tragic enough.

If he doesn't choose a torturous method, how can he make up for the cuckolding his grandfather has been wearing during this period of time.

He bent down and left the study, stroking his chin and thinking carefully whether there was any way to torture someone to death without involving bloodshed.

The lady is going to give birth in a few months, and it would be so unlucky to see blood.

He had dozens of ways to execute people, but after thinking about it, he was not satisfied with any of them. So he made up his mind and went straight to the yard where Zhao Kuangsheng was.

He decided to pull the person over and discuss it in detail.

It's the middle of the night, he can't be the only one working late.

……

Xiyu was unaware of what happened in the Qianqing Palace and Prince Yong's Mansion.

Xiao Qi came to accompany her last night, and the two of them chatted while lying on the bed like best friends at night.

But as they were chatting, she became so sleepy that she fell asleep.

The warm sunshine came in through the window. Xiyu moved the quilt covering her body away and stretched quietly.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi woke up as soon as she moved.

"hiss--"

"It hurts so much~"

Yun Ran took a deep breath, then sat up, supporting his aching waist.

"Fourth sister-in-law, did you go hunting in the mountains last night, or did you dream of some monsters?"

Xiyu heard this, her beautiful wet eyes widened, "No, what did I do to you last night?"

Yun Ran couldn't help but soften his voice, "I didn't do anything, that is..."

Listening to her description, Xiyu vaguely recalled what happened last night.

The two of them shared a bed, but Yun Ran was afraid of accidentally touching her belly, so there was a quilt between them.

In the middle of the night, she pushed aside the quilt and skillfully moved into the arms of the man next to her. But halfway through, she felt something was wrong and pushed the man away with a ruthless hand... This cycle repeated over and over again.

She is really...

Her face felt hot as if it had been roasted by fire. She coughed lightly and got up from the bed.

"I don't know what Cining Palace is eating this morning. I'm a little curious."

When Xiyu finished her breakfast and left the palace, it was time for the court to end. She got on the carriage that had been waiting at the palace gate and quietly opened the curtain a little.

Ministers in court robes gathered in groups of three or five, seemingly discussing something together.

After searching for a long time, she finally saw the handsome and tall figure behind the crowd. After confirming that he was safe and sound, she asked the driver to drive back.

The man following the crowd seemed to have noticed something and squinted his dark eyes to look in the direction the carriage left.

He couldn't help but curl his lips, which looked a bit weird in Yinzhi's eyes.

"What are you laughing at so early in the morning?"

Yinzhi shuddered and couldn't help but take a few quick steps. "It's too weird. I feel like you have some conspiracy."

……

After Xiyu returned home, she heard that Li was seriously ill and Tingyuxuan was now in isolation.

"Has the imperial doctor seen it?"

She asked symbolically.

Qiu Xu repeated what Gao Wuyong had said, "I've checked it out. They said her illness might be contagious, so they told everyone not to hang around there easily."

Since everything has been handled, she doesn't have to worry about anything. She just needs to send someone to Yonghe Palace to talk about it.

Xi Yu lazily leaned on the beauty couch and said, "Ask Dong Shuang to bring the account book for this month. The expenses of such a large palace must be much higher than before."

It was the end of the month, Dong Shuang had already sorted out the account books, and when she received the order, she walked in with a stack of account books.

The more Xi Yu frowned, the tighter her brows furrowed. This month's expenses were three times that of the East Third House, and the money given by the palace for settling in would not last long.

She shook her head slightly and felt a headache.

[Oh my god, look at the cost. I still have to raise children in the future. Raising two money-eating beasts will cost me money on clothes, toys, milk powder... nanny, everything will cost money.]

Qixi appeared without warning, and her light green snake body landed on her account book.

He swam back and forth, and if you had good eyesight, you could see a little red mark on the tip of his tail.

The handwriting on the account book was covered, and Xiyu pushed him aside mercilessly, saying in a cold voice, "You still remember to come back. Does the Monster Management Bureau know that you have been away from your post many times?"

'What did you do this time?'

Qixi lay down where he fell, his pupils flashing with guilt, "It didn't delay the work, and I brought you a new task."

His hand paused while flipping through the account book, "It's been a while since I've received any new tasks."

[Yeah, you're bored too~]

Qi Xi's voice sounded a bit servile.

She lazily denied, "Don't talk nonsense, I eat and sleep, and when I'm tired I go out for a walk, I don't know how comfortable this life is."

[Alas, this time I bring you a pension mission. ]

Qi Xi moved over slowly, and rubbed his cool body lightly against her white and tender fingers.

Quite comfortable.

Xiyu did not retract her fingers, but lowered her eyes to look at his flattering appearance.

Looking back, he looked like a supervisor before, but now I don’t know if he is possessed by a dog demon, and he is acting like a spoiled child here.

"What mission?"

[Ding! Mission released: 10% of the money earned each year must be paid as tax to the Monster Management Bureau. The tax amount must reach taels of silver. Mission completed——]
