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

Jiang Ningwan gave her a cold look and said, "Let's talk about it after you give birth to the baby."

The moment the child is born, Zhou Tingxu will die.

Zhou Tingxu also knew about the blood test, but she was not panicked at the moment. She raised the corner of her mouth proudly, "My child is the first child of the King of Chu. The Emperor attaches great importance to him. I have to trouble you to ensure his safety."

Her fearless look made Jiang Ningwan feel a little suspicious.

Zhou Tingxu should know very well that her child is not the King of Chu's. If she waits for the blood test, she will surely die.

Why are you so confident?

Is it just an act?

Doctor Zhang took her pulse and said, "Miss Zhou Er's pregnancy is stable, but she's been feeling a bit tired lately. It's best for her to rest well and avoid going out."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Please ask Doctor Zhang to prescribe some medicine to maintain the pregnancy."

"it is good."

Doctor Zhang went to prescribe medicine. Jiang Ningwan looked at Zhou Tingxu and said, "The doctor said not to go out."

"You also said that the emperor values ​​your child, so you are not allowed to go out until the child is born!"

She would not let Zhou Tingxu and the child suffer any harm, otherwise it would be unclear who the child belonged to.

"I've arranged six maids for you to keep an eye on you at all times."

Zhou Tingxu was shocked when he heard this. Six maids?

Isn't this treating her like a criminal?

The task assigned by my aunt is not easy to complete...

……

study.

Qin Shuangchi ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to investigate thoroughly. Who did Zhou Tingxu come into contact with while in the Northland? Make sure to find out whose child she's pregnant with!"

Xiao Lan responded respectfully: "Yes!"

If he had known that Zhou Tingxu would get pregnant and depend on him, he should have sent Zhou Tingxu away earlier.

……

East Palace.

The prince was ordered to stay in his room and await punishment.

In the evening, Jiang Xiru limped over to bring the food.

He knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, please have dinner."

Qin Chengqian in the room had already seen her from the window. He was in a bad mood and said coldly, "I have no appetite. Take it away."

Jiang Xiru heard the sound, looked towards the window, and brought the food over.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself no matter what. You haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night. If you don't eat something, your mother will be worried."

Qin Chengqian was a little impatient, "Take it away."

Jiang Xiru lowered her eyes, "Your Highness, are you still angry with me?"

Qin Chengqian remained silent, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He knew that he had been plotted against, and it was most likely done by the King of Chu. After all, he and Jiang Ningwan were the only ones who had been active in the North.

The Queen Mother sent someone to tell Jiang Xiru about her plan.

How could he not be angry.

If Jiang Xiru had not been hiding the secret and refused to tell it, he would not have ended up like this.

"Your Highness, I will rescue you."

"Zhou Tingxu has already entered the Prince of Chu's mansion. Once I get evidence against the Prince of Chu, I will immediately complain to the Emperor! You've been framed!"

Jiang Xiru was extremely anxious, fearing that Qin Chengqian would dislike her.

Her position as Crown Princess was hard-earned, she must keep it!

Qin Chengqian said calmly, "My mother has told me that all her hopes are on you. I hope you won't let me down."

Jiang Xiru smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Your Highness! I won't let you down!"

After putting down the food, Jiang Xiru left.

Looking at her limping figure, Qin Chengqian's eyes were deep. He hoped that she had some real ability and could kill the King of Chu.

Only then can we be worthy of the sacrifice he made.

……

Zhou Tingxu has been living in the Prince of Chu's mansion for three days.

Jiang Ningwan also stayed in the Prince Chu's mansion for three days.

At dinner time, she had just finished listening to the maid's report.

Qin Shuangchi walked into the room and sat down, pouring her a bowl of soup. "How is it? Is there any movement?"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head. "Zhou Tingxu has been very well behaved lately. He eats and takes his medicine obediently. During the day, he just walks around the yard. He doesn't beat or scold the maids, or give anyone a hard time."

"He's so quiet now that he doesn't seem like Zhou Tingxu anymore."

The last time Zhou Tingxu moved in, he was always looking for trouble.

Qin Shuangchi pondered and said, "He's too quiet. He must be planning something bad."

"Let's take advantage of her and see what she wants to do."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

……

Late at night three days later.

A fire suddenly broke out in a courtyard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

"There's a fire! Help!"

The maid in the yard noticed it and immediately screamed for help.

A large number of guards had arrived, carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.

He asked, "Is there anyone else in the room?"

The maid replied in panic, "Miss Zhou Er is still in there!"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately rushed into the fire to save people.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi were awakened and immediately put on their coats and hurried over. When they saw the fire in the yard, they were shocked.

He quickly asked the maid what was going on.

The maid's voice was filled with tears. "Princess, Miss Zhou Er kept complaining about being cold tonight, so they put an extra charcoal fire in the room and asked us to close the doors and windows. I only left a crack in the side window for ventilation."

"I was on duty tonight. It was my fault that I was sleepy and the house accidentally caught fire!"

If anything happened to Miss Zhou Er, her life would be in danger.

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan immediately realized that it was Zhou Tingxu who did it. He must have done something to the maid to make her fall asleep.

Six maids took turns on duty to ensure that someone was always watching Zhou Tingxu.

I can't believe Zhou Tingxu is so cruel to me.

She patted the maid's shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't cry."

The guards were trying hard to put out the fire, and some of them had already rushed in to look for Zhou Tingxu.

However, when I entered, I found that there was no one on the bed.

"Miss Tuesday! Miss Tuesday!"

The guards shouted in the room, but no one answered.

At this moment, Zhou Tingxu was hiding in the closet without making a sound. He quietly pushed the door open and took a look. The fire was almost out.

She took out a tinder, reached out her hand, and lit the curtains scattered on the ground. The curtains suddenly caught fire, and the flames rushed to the beams.

Seeing the fire starting, she quickly closed the cabinet door and covered her mouth and nose tightly.

The fire started again.

Late at night, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed from the Prince of Chu's mansion.

But with enough manpower, the fire was put out.

Everyone ran into the room to search for Zhou Tingxu.

As soon as the closet door was opened, the unconscious Zhou Tingxu fell out.

"Here! Miss Tuesday!"

Jiang Ning took a look at the child and took his pulse before going to bed. Fortunately, the child was fine.

"Carry him out, and ask Doctor Zhang to come and take a look!"

Zhou Tingxu was placed in another room. Jiang Ningwan sent someone to look for Qingyun for a long time before they finally brought her over.

Knowing that the young lady was in trouble, Qingyun burst into tears.

Jiang Ningwan sat on the chair and said quietly, "Why are you crying now? What were you doing before?"

Qingyun wiped her tears and said, "I went to the toilet tonight. When I came out, I accidentally fell and fainted."

"I don't want to..."

"If something happens to the young lady, how can I explain it to the master..."
