Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1763

The two agreed and went back neatly.

Shi Anxia stroked her temples with her hand, then raised her eyes to look out the dark window. It was a dark night without even a trace of moonlight.

After a moment, Bei Hui gently draped a snow-colored fox fur coat over her shoulders, "Madam, it's snowing outside again. The snow is light, but cold."

Shi Anxia nodded and slowly stood up. Bei Hui quickly reached out to support her, noticing that her fingertips were slightly swollen and her steps were slower than usual.

She sighed in her heart, thinking that the lady was too worried and had no time to spare at this moment.

The lanterns in the corridor swayed gently in the night breeze. The master and servant walked very slowly and laboriously towards the main hall.

Shi Anxia gathered the fox fur, and her fingertips touched the soft fur, but she still felt the chill, "It's freezing cold, my husband should come back."

Bei Hui responded, "Yes, I've been away for almost a year."

"We only need one city to return to the capital." Shi Anxia thought, by then, the child will be born, right?

"Madam..." Bei Hui hesitated to speak.

Shi Anxia shook her head gently, her eyes dimmed, and whispered, "Let's go, don't keep His Highness waiting for too long."

She walked towards the main hall step by step, her back still as straight as a bamboo, but her steps were heavy and she looked extremely tired.

In the main hall, Crown Prince Xiao Zhi came to visit late at night. The person he brought with him was not Eunuch An, but Xiao Shuzi, who had served Emperor Mingde for many years.

Xiao Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a moon-white brocade robe that made him look even more elegant. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw Shi Anxia struggling to walk in the snow.

He felt extremely guilty.

At that time, An Xiafu bowed and saluted.

Xiao Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said hurriedly, "My royal sister is not feeling well, so there's no need to be polite."

Shi Anxia raised her eyes and met his deep eyes, "My royal brother, why are you visiting me so late at night? Is there something important?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned by the question for a moment and found it difficult to speak.

The two sat down.

After Bei Hui served him tea, An Xia seemed to remember something, "Thank you, brother, for sending me silver charcoal for heating today."

The words were already on his lips, Xiao Zhi hurriedly asked, "Has the imperial sister used it?"

Shi Anxia smiled and shook her head, "My husband prepared a lot of silver charcoal last year, and it's still piled up in the warehouse. I used those first because I was worried about moisture. I will use those given by my brother the emperor slowly in the future. After all, the winter is still long."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's useless! That's fine. There's still time.

He thought about the wording, not knowing how to recover the batch of toxic silver carbon.

The door was open, the night wind blew through the hall, and the candlelight flickered.

Both of them were silent, and you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Xiao Zhi turned the jade ring on his hand and suddenly said, "I remembered that this batch of silver carbon has also been damp. If the princess is not in a hurry to use it, I will ask the eunuch to change it for you with a better batch."

Shi Anxia responded casually, "Okay, thank you, brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhi ordered, "Xiao Shuzi, follow the princess's people to light the silver charcoal that was delivered today."

Shi Anxia was surprised, "Now?"

Xiao Zhi nodded, "Yes, now."

Shi Anxia looked calm and told Bei Hui to take Xiao Shuzi to do it.

She had nothing more to ask Xiao Zhi.

A line of eunuchs came in from outside, and they carried the silver-thread carbon out in the same way as they had carried it in before.

Prince Xiao Zhi also said goodbye in a hurry, as if he had come here late at night just to retrieve the damp silver carbon.
