Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Jiang Xiru's heart tightened, and she spoke anxiously, "Prince Chu's leg has healed, and Jiang Ningwan is pregnant with his child. The Third Prince's power will be even greater in the future. Isn't Your Highness worried?"

"I know the King of Chu's secret, and it's a capital crime punishable by the execution of the entire family!"

Having already passed the point of death in her previous life, she said these things now in order to secure a future for herself.

She didn't know when her leg would heal. If she waited until she was old and ugly, there would be no hope!

Hearing her words, Qin Chengqian frowned, unable to hide his shock.

After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke: "I do know a way to make your legs the same as those of ordinary people."

“But take some pain.”

Jiang Xiru's eyes lit up, "What's the solution?"

"The poisonous insects can enter the body and restore the meridians, but every two weeks there will be some unbearable pain."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru's heart trembled.

It's scary just to hear it.

Gu insect...

Jiang Xiru frowned.

"Even if you know the biggest secret, your legs are lame, so you still can't become the Crown Princess. At most, you can only be a concubine."

"I can't do anything about this matter. You can think about it slowly."

After saying that, Qin Chengqian stood up and left.

Concubine?

The reason why she sought cooperation with the prince was to become the queen in the future!

She will never be a concubine!

Seeing Qin Chengqian about to leave the room, Jiang Xiru clenched her palms and said anxiously: "I do!"

Qin Chengqian paused and turned around.

Jiang Xiru gritted her teeth and said firmly: "I'm willing to give the Gu worm a try!"

As long as she can become the Crown Princess, it doesn't matter if a poisonous insect has entered her body. She has died once, so what pain can she not bear?

Thinking of this, her legs began to ache slightly. This was all caused by Jiang Ningwan. When she became the Crown Princess, she would ask Jiang Ningwan to take it back one by one!

And the King of Chu!

Don’t even think about having an easy time!

Qin Chengqian looked at her in surprise, shocked, and admired her very much. "There are not many women like you."

When he proposed this idea, he never thought Jiang Xiru would agree.

This woman is a little unusual.

He became interested.

……

The courtyard of the Prince of Chu's Palace.

It is autumn now. The maple leaves in the yard have turned red and are drifting down in the wind, creating ripples in the pond.

"Your Highness, please come closer. Don't look at me, look at General Jiang."

Xie Chenyuan was sitting upright on the grass, painting portraits for them.

Jiang Ningwan sat on the stone bench beside the pond, Qin Shuangchi stood beside her with his arm around her.

The two of them remained motionless.

Jiang Ningwan moved her body silently, but she was really stiff.

Qin Shuangchi couldn't help but urge: "Is it done?"

Ning Wan is still pregnant.

"It's coming soon."

After waiting for a long time, Xie Chenyuan finally stopped writing and looked at his painting with satisfaction, praising it endlessly: "It's so well done!"

Jiang Ningwan stood up with the help of Qin Shuangchi. "You've been torturing us for so long. If the painting is not good, you will have to pay for the food for the past few days."

Xie Chenyuan immediately handed over the portrait, "Look! I hope you're satisfied with it!"

When the portrait was handed over, both of them were shocked when they saw it.

The scenery and people in the painting are lifelike, loving and peaceful, and the atmosphere is warm.

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyes to look at Qin Shuangchi, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise slightly, "How is it?"

Qin Shuangchi couldn't hide the smile on his lips, "Not bad!"

Jiang Ningwan put away the portrait and handed it to Lichun, "Go hang it in the bedroom."

Both of them were very satisfied, and Xie Chenyuan began to drink tea with peace of mind.

"I've painted dozens, if not hundreds, of portraits for people, and I've never been dissatisfied with any of them!"

"Time is tight this time, so I can only draw one for you. If I have time next time, I'll draw two more for you."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Even just one painting is rare."

"We'll be leaving soon. The journey is long. I asked Lichun to prepare some gifts and food for you. Take them with you."

Xie Chenyuan nodded. "Thank you both for your hospitality these days. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again."

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly, "It will happen."

"I'll send someone to take you there."

Xie Chenyuan smiled and waved his hand, "No need, my people are outside the city, I can go by myself."

"Take care!"

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi sent Xie Chenyuan out of the city together, and saw him meet up with his personal guards and ride away on horseback.

The carriage then turned around and returned to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

"This Xie Chenyuan is a nice guy. If I go to the North in the future, will I have a chance to meet him?" Jiang Ningwan asked curiously.

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "Of course there will be a chance, but the north is bitterly cold, so it's better not to go."

That is a last resort and should only be considered.

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan quickly said, "I'm not afraid of hardship. My mother and my grandparents have all lived in the North, and I want to go see where they've been."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and touched her belly. "After the baby is born, can you take me to the North to see it?"

"it is good."

Qin Shuangchi smiled gently and brushed her hair.

But his eyes were full of worry.

If possible, I hope she will never go to the North.

After seeing Xie Chenyuan off, Jiang Ningwan started staying at home again.

In order to give birth to the child safely and smoothly, she now dares not take any risks outside, as she doesn't know how many people are watching her.

But there were many more spies in the Prince of Chu's palace at night.

For several nights, Jiang Ningwan was awakened by the noise outside.

Outside the house, shadowy figures flashed by one after another.

Occasionally, you can even hear the sound of someone passing by on the roof, stepping on tiles.

Although those people were caught, no one escaped.

But this noise still made Jiang Ningwan feel very uneasy, and her heart would pound every time she woke up.

"Your Highness, the man has been caught and committed suicide by taking poison on the spot!" Xiao Lan's voice came from outside the door.

"Deal with the corpse, strengthen the defense, and don't disturb the princess again!" Qin Shuangchi frowned and spoke in a sharp tone.

"Yes!"

The outside world soon returned to calm, but Jiang Ningwan's heart was still difficult to calm down.

Qin Shuangchi took her into his arms and patted her shoulder, "It's okay."

Leaning in his arms, Jiang Ningwan was worried, "I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but I feel like a different person."

"This little noise makes me feel uneasy and my heart beats so fast."

Qin Shuangchi comforted her, "The imperial physician said that pregnancy does cause changes and can be frightening. The mansion is safe, and everything will be fine."

It was much quieter in the next few days.

But the fresh vegetables delivered from the kitchen were poisoned.

Fortunately, the people in the kitchen checked carefully and found the problem.

That night, several wild cats inexplicably appeared in the mansion, jumping up and down on the roof. When they were caught, poison bags were found tied to their hind legs.

There are endless ways to harm her.

However, everyone in the palace had stepped up their precautions, so they failed to succeed.

But on this day, Xiao Lan came back from outside in a hurry, "Your Highness... there is something..."

He hesitated to speak, not wanting to speak in front of Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan saw through it and asked, "Is there anything I can't bear to hear?"

Qin Shuangchi signaled him to speak directly with his eyes.

Xiao Lan said in a heavy tone, "The Second Prince of Dayan, Xie Chenyuan, has been kidnapped."
