Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Within two days, the secret guards had thoroughly investigated all recent changes in the Duke's Mansion and recorded everything in detail.

“Your Majesty, ever since the Duke’s daughter returned home, Madam Kang has been completely devoted to her own daughter, no longer caring about other people’s feelings, and directly arranged for Miss Shen to live in a remote small courtyard.

Everything that used to belong to Miss Shen was taken away by her sister Shen Luoxi, not even a small item was left for Miss Shen.

Moreover, Prince Xuan and Shen Luoxi seem to have a very close relationship. They often go out together and are inseparable whether at a banquet or when they go out.

Even if they don't go out, they will give each other exquisite gifts every day, showing that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

Mrs. Kang may think that Prince Xuan will become Shen Luoxi's husband in the future.

She felt that this way she could rest assured, so she became more and more displeased with Miss Shen.

A few days ago, she deliberately instigated her nephew to tease Miss Shen, hoping to cause trouble for her.

Unexpectedly, her nephew not only failed but fell into the lake. It is said that he was bitten on the genitals by some creature in the lake and is now unable to have children.

Mrs. Kang hates Miss Shen so much now that she probably won't be able to return to the Shen family. I'm afraid Mrs. Kang will do everything she can to drive her out of the house."

Now that her biological daughter is back, as a mother, she will of course love her own child more. This feeling is perfectly normal.

Even if she wanted to take Prince Xuan away as her future husband, it is actually understandable. After all, everyone wants to gain some benefits for their children.

But what is strange is why Mrs. Kang encouraged her nephew to defile Shen Muxue?

You know, her nephew has always been a frivolous person and has a bad reputation.

Even though Shen Muxue is not her biological daughter, she is still the child raised by Mrs. Kang herself.

Even if he didn't want Shen Muxue to marry King Chu Xuan, he could at least find a good family for her. Why did he have to target Shen Muxue so much?

This problem has troubled the emperor for a long time. He always felt that Mrs. Kang seemed to particularly dislike Shen Muxue.

It's really puzzling that he could be so cruel and vicious to his new daughter, who he had just adopted a few days ago.

"Send someone to investigate the details of the Duke's new daughter and Madam Kang."

The emperor's order was conveyed with an unquestionable determination in his tone.

Obviously, this matter has made him very uneasy, and he must find out the truth before he can feel at ease.

Mrs. Kang in the Duke's Mansion has basically been staying at home all day doing nothing these days. Apart from occasionally handling some housework, there is almost nothing important for her to worry about.

However, during this period of time, she focused all her attention on one goal: to constantly teach Shen Luoxi various methods to seduce King Xuan.

Today I gave her a small ornament, and tomorrow I wrote her a love poem, but unfortunately all these efforts seemed to have failed to achieve the desired effect.

Because Prince Xuan was either deliberately avoiding suspicion or simply didn't understand the ways of the world. Every time he replied, it was just an ordinary courtesy gift, and there was nothing to prove that they had a particularly close relationship.

One day, with the careful planning of Mrs. Kang, Shen Luoxi finally plucked up the courage to invite Prince Xuan to go out for a boat ride.

The summer breeze blows gently over the lake, and the fragrance of lotus flowers floats into the pleasure boat, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Sitting next to him was a woman as beautiful as a fairy, looking at King Xuan with tenderness and affection - Shen Luoxi.

Her eyes were full of admiration for King Xuan, and she hoped to win his favor.

These days, in order to decide whether it would be more beneficial for him to marry Shen Muxue or Shen Luoxi, King Xuan would analyze the situation with his advisers every day.

If he finally chooses to marry Shen Muxue, he will definitely be able to take this opportunity to please the Queen Mother, which will be a very important part of his future fight for the position of Crown Prince.

On the other hand, if he could successfully marry Shen Luoxi, it would mean having a father-in-law like Duke Anguo, and Prince Xuan's position would be more stable both in the court and in private.

But the reality is always full of helplessness, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

It’s a pity that Shen Muxue is not the biological child of Duke Anguo, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many troubles.

Seeing King Xuan looking restless, Shen Luoxi felt unprecedented disappointment in her heart and wanted to jump into the lake in front of her almost without hesitation.

She thought silently that if only King Xuan could jump into the water to save her once, even just once, it would be enough to make substantial progress in the originally delicate and uncertain relationship between the two.

With this thought in mind, Shen Luoxi slowly moved towards the side of the boat, her eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.

Just as her toes were about to touch the cool water, she suddenly felt a strong hand grabbing her waist and quickly pulling her back into a warm and solid embrace.

"Xi'er, be careful."

King Xuan's words, filled with both reproach and concern, rang in my ears.

At this moment, Shen Luoxi was tightly wrapped in King Xuan's arms. Her heartbeat quickened a bit. For a moment, she didn't know how to place her hands in the most appropriate position, and seemed a little at a loss.

At this moment, somehow, her soft and boneless little hand accidentally touched a jade pendant hanging around the man's waist.

It was one of the items that the other person had carried with him for many years and regarded as a treasure.

Feeling the delicate texture in her hand, an idea flashed through her mind quickly. So, Shen Luoxi pretended to be indifferent and easily took off this meaningful jade ornament. Then she naturally expressed her apology and gratitude to King Xuan for her previous behavior. After the two of them swam together in the blooming lotus in the pond, they returned to their mansions to rest.

Soon after entering the house, Prince Xuan suddenly discovered that the important jade pendant that he always wore on his body had disappeared. An indescribable sense of panic suddenly rose in his heart, so he immediately ordered all personnel in the palace to start a large-scale search.

You know, this is a special reward given by the emperor himself at his coronation ceremony. It is extremely precious both in value and emotional symbolism, and it must not be lost in any way.

However, what is frustrating is that although almost the entire palace’s power was mobilized to search, no clues were found in the end.

When he calmed down and thought about what happened, King Xuan vaguely felt that it was very likely that it was accidentally dropped due to too close contact while playing on the boat and was picked up by Shen Luoxi.

However, after all, both parties are of noble birth. If you rashly go to ask for it back, it is likely to cause great pressure or even insult to the girl.
