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

"cough~"

Without waiting for Xiyu to speak again, Yinzhen gently rubbed her soft cheek with his fingertips and compromised helplessly, "Go, remember to bring Zhao Kuangsheng with you."

"Ok!"

Xiyu nodded heavily, her eyes curved with a contented smile, she let go of the man's arm, turned to the other side, placed her belly on a long pillow, and began to fall asleep.

Only if you have a good rest can you be energetic tomorrow.

In fact, she submitted the invitation early in the morning, knowing that Yinzhen would agree sooner or later, and sure enough, he did.

Yinzhen blew out a few candles on the bedside table, and only got up and went to the outer room when he heard the even breathing of the young wife beside him.

In the dark environment, his figure looked particularly tall.

"Tomorrow, the wife will go to Prince Cheng's mansion. The weather is cold, so have someone put a few layers of thick cushions and quilts in the carriage. Also, have someone prepare a few hot water bottles and put them in the carriage..."

After giving these instructions, he was about to walk back, but suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, remember to put a layer of felt blanket on the slippery steps to prevent slipping."

He gave instructions for many things in one breath, and Gao Wuyong repeated them silently before nodding and saying that he had noted them all.

……

It was already bright outside. It had snowed heavily last night, and there was still a thick layer of snow on the ground.

The sound of horse hooves was crisp and powerful, and the wheels rolled slowly on the snow, making a slight creaking sound, which intertwined with the conversations of pedestrians on the street, evoking a sense of comfort.

Xiyu had a very smooth journey and was dressed warmly, so she didn't feel cold at all.

After she got off the carriage, she was led to the bedroom by Ginkgo beside Rongzhu.

"Why did you see red out of nowhere?"

Xiyu couldn't help wanting to speed up her pace, but Xia Ying and Qiu Xu supported her on both sides, so she had to be steady.

Ginkgo was also very worried, with dark circles under her eyes. "Yesterday, our wife received your visiting card and was so happy that she asked people to prepare toys and food to entertain us today. She gave all the instructions while lying in bed.

I didn't do anything and didn't get hurt, but somehow I started to bleed when I was taking a shower at night."

Xi Yu asked, "What did the imperial physician in the palace say?"

"They said the baby is still young and unstable, so she needs to stay in bed and rest."

Ginkgo led the way in front, deliberately slowing down his pace and reminding her from time to time to be careful of the steps.

Xiyu was in the outer room of her bedroom. She took off her thick cloak and warmed herself by the brazier for a long time before entering the inner room.

"Third sister-in-law should have sent someone to tell me. If I had known that I needed to rest and take care of the baby, I would not have come to disturb you today."

The voice arrived behind the screen before Xiyu's men did.

"It happened suddenly last night. It was the first time for people around me to encounter this. They were all panicking."

Rongzhu lay on the bed, without any of her former spirit. Her face was haggard, her lips were pale, and even her voice was low and weak.

Ginkgo helped her sit up, with several thick cushions behind her.

"Besides, I originally thought that pregnancy was a very simple matter. All I had to do was eat well and sleep well. But what happened yesterday made me feel uneasy."

"I feel relieved when you come."

Seeing Xiyu coming in, Rongzhu reached out and pulled her to sit on the bed. "But the most important thing is, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Her hair was casually scattered, hiding her pale and sickly face. Xiyu had never seen her like this before, and she felt a sudden panic in her heart.

"You have always been in good health, so pregnancy shouldn't have such a big impact."

"I don't know either. Maybe there are always some exceptions."

Rongzhu lowered her eyes and shook her head gently.

The two of them whispered about their pregnancy experiences. Xiyu took off his shoes and found a comfortable position to lie on the bed with her.

The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the house. Xiyu was wearing thick clothes and felt stuffy after a while, so she took off a layer of her cotton coat.

But it still doesn't work, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

There is always a faint sweet fragrance lingering in my nose. It’s not unpleasant, but it’s... an indescribable feeling.

"Third sister-in-law, did you use incense in this room?"

Rongzhu was slightly startled. "No, they say that it is best not to use spices during pregnancy. After the pregnancy was found out, they asked people to stop using them."

“You smell it?”

Seeing the other party nod, she did not doubt Xiyu's nose, but looked around the room and confirmed it carefully, "It is indeed useless."

Xiyu slowly stood up, her nose twitching, trying to smell the source of the fragrance.

But after smelling it for a long time, your sense of smell will not be so sensitive.

There are many secret means of harming people in the palace. Even if you are not in the palace now, you have to be on guard. What's more, there is no difference between the prince's backyard and the harem.

Xiyu was filled with doubts, but had no clue.

Fortunately, when I went out today, I brought Qiu Xu, who knows some medical skills, with me.

She knelt on the bed, holding her belly, and looked down at Rongzhu, "Be careful, shall I ask someone to come in and take a look?"

Rongzhu believed her unconditionally and said "Okay".

"Qiu Xu, come in."

She raised her voice a little, and the door opened and quickly closed again.

"You just came in from outside. Do you smell any fragrance in this room?"

Hearing this, Qiu Xu concentrated and sniffed carefully, "Indeed, it is sweet but not too strong. If you don't try to distinguish it or stay in the room for a long time, it's not easy to distinguish it."

"Really?"

Rongzhu suddenly felt that this room was somewhat dangerous and did not want to stay there any longer, but then he heard Qiuxu speak again.

"Don't be nervous, Third Lady. This fragrance is non-toxic and harmless to your body."

She couldn't help but ask, "But there is no incense in my house, and the people around me will not take the initiative to disobey my orders. Where does this smell come from?"

Qiu Xu hesitated for a moment, said "Madam, please wait a moment", and went out, returning a moment later.

As soon as he entered the room, he began to sniff around. "The bed had the heaviest smell in the whole house."

After saying that, she went out again to breathe the air outside the house and change the environment for her nose.

After going back and forth many times, we finally determined that the smell came from the bed curtains.

"Bed curtain?" Rongzhu reached out and pulled the gauze from the head of the bed and put it to her nose. Sure enough, she smelled the sweet scent that the two had described.

"After the pregnancy was discovered, in order to prevent the residue of the previously used incense, the bed curtains and bedding in this room were all replaced with new ones. I was told not to use incense!"

She threw the veil in her hand aside and spoke in a cold tone.

"Gingko! Have someone check why this bed curtain is scented!"
