Jiang Tangxi didn't believe what Xiao Yunxuan said. She said calmly, "There's no one else here right now. Your Highness, the Princess, stop acting. Just say whatever you want to say."

Xiao Yunxuan immediately put away the fake smile on her face. Her eyes became sharp and she stared straight at Jiang Tangxi, questioning Jiang Tangxi: "Now that you are pregnant with my brother's child, is your heart now all about Xiao Yuchen?"

Jiang Tangxi smiled lightly and said, "If I say no, does Her Royal Highness Princess Chang want to kill me?"

Xiao Yunxuan said: "Of course not, after all, you are pregnant with Xiao Yuchen's child now. But, Jiang Tangxi, you'd better be honest with me."

Then, Xiao Yunxuan's face became a little gloomy, and she said: "There is not much time left for such a peaceful life."

Jiang Tangxi didn't understand what Xiao Yunxuan wanted to say. She frowned and asked, "What does Your Highness the Princess mean by this?"

Xiao Yunxuan laughed very crazily, and the laughter made people shudder.

She walked up to Jiang Tangxi, gently touched Jiang Tangxi's bulging belly, and said, "Jiang Tangxi, you are very smart, but knowing too much about some things is not good for you. I can only tell you that the palace may not be peaceful recently. The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Now he can't get out of bed. I'm afraid he will die soon."

When Xiao Yunxuan said this, there was no sympathy for her father on her face. On the contrary, there was more hatred, pride and impatience.

Jiang Tangxi had a flash of thought in her mind. The emperor's health was getting worse day by day. This happened only after Xiao Yunxuan returned to the palace. Could it be that Xiao Yunxuan...

Jiang Tangxi asked tentatively: "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

When Xiao Yunxuan heard Jiang Tangxi's words, she did not deny it. She just burst into crazy laughter again.

Then, she leaned close to Jiang Tangxi's ear and whispered, "Jiang Tangxi, you guessed part of it right, but you'd better not tell anyone. This is a secret between the two of us."

As he spoke, Xiao Yunxuan took out a box in his hand, opened it, and inside was a pair of beautiful bracelets.

She handed the box to Jiang Tangxi and said, "I spent a long time choosing this. It's the perfect gift to congratulate you on your pregnancy."

Jiang Tangxi looked at the pair of bracelets and felt a little uneasy.

She knew that Xiao Yunxuan must have had other purposes in giving her the bracelets, but she couldn't just refuse.

So, she could only pretend to accept the bracelet with gratitude, and then pretend to deal with Xiao Yunxuan.

In the end, Jiang Tangxi finally sent Xiao Yunxuan away.

She sat alone in the room, feeling worried and uneasy.

In this way, two or three days passed uneventfully.

On this day, Xiao Yuchen was accompanying Jiang Tangxi in the yard, fiddling with those small mechanisms.

Xiao Yuchen was studying an ingenious mechanism box with great concentration, trying to find a way to open it.

Jiang Tangxi was holding a small tool at the side, gently poking another mechanism part, and mumbling something about the principles of the mechanism.

At this time, the housekeeper came running over in a hurry, panting as he ran.

He came in front of Xiao Yuchen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince sent someone to tell you to come over immediately."

Xiao Yuchen stopped what he was doing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

The butler shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The messenger didn't tell me."

Jiang Tangxi put down the tools in his hand, walked to Xiao Yuchen, and said, "Then go quickly and come back soon. I will wait for you at home."

Xiao Yuchen looked at Jiang Tangxi, his eyes full of tenderness. He put on his cloak, tied the belt and said, "If the people from the neighboring courtyard come to cause trouble, you don't have to pay attention to them. I will deal with it when I come back. If you really want to deal with her, just tell me, why do you have to do it yourself. If you have any mishap, I will be so distressed."

After hearing what Xiao Yuchen said, Jiang Tangxi couldn't help laughing.

She walked up to Xiao Yuchen, helped him tie the belt of his cloak, and said, "I know. I won't act silly again."

Xiao Yuchen was still worried, he said: "No, I'm still worried. I'll leave Yin Zhou to you, I can only feel at ease with him around."

Jiang Tangxi shook her head and said, "No need. What can happen to me in the mansion? Besides, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

Xiao Yuchen said firmly: "No, you must let Yin Zhou accompany you, otherwise I will not be at ease. With Yin Zhou, the smart one, here, no matter what happens, you will be fine."

Not long after, Jiang Tangxi saw Xiao Yuchen off in front of the mansion gate.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the snowflakes were falling like goose feathers.

Jiang Tangxi stood at the door, watching Xiao Yuchen's figure gradually go away, feeling a little reluctant.

She was just about to return to Feishuang Courtyard when someone came from the palace.

A palace maid and an old nanny came over quickly. The palace maid came to Jiang Tangxi, bowed, and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother has specifically asked you to come to the palace."

Jiang Tangxi's eyes darkened, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. She frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know. The Queen Mother just asked us to invite you into the palace."

Jiang Tangxi felt a little confused, and she gave Yin Zhou a look.

Yin Zhou immediately understood and decisively took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

The old lady looked embarrassed at first, and said, "You can't do this, you can't do this." But her hand stretched out unconsciously, and she half-heartedly put the money into her pocket.

Then, she looked around cautiously, and then said to Jiang Tangxi: "Princess, I really don't know why the Queen Mother came to you. But a few days ago, Concubine Shen came to the palace and chatted with the Queen Mother for a long time. At the end, she specifically mentioned you, saying that you are pregnant and you should be careful."

When Jiang Tangxi heard that Shen Zien had been to the palace a few days ago, she understood.

It's nothing more than complaining about those things. Shen Zien is really restless.

But she is pregnant now and really doesn't have the energy to argue with these people.

She thought about it, and then said to the old lady, "I feel a little tired, can I not go?"

When the old nanny heard this, her face immediately changed and she said, "Princess, this won't do. If you don't go, it will be disobeying the order, and it will be hard to say what will happen then. You also know the temper of the Queen Mother. If you anger her, it will be troublesome."

Jiang Tangxi understood that if he really didn't go, the old lady would do whatever she wanted and would definitely come after him.

She sighed helplessly, then walked to Yinzhou and whispered to him, "Yinzhou, stay here and wait for the prince to come back, and then let him come and save me."
