The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy

Xiao Liu was silent for a while, and then when he was alone, he said softly, "It was arranged by the factory supervisor. As for why, I don't know."

After hearing this, Cuizhu felt that Xiaoliu seemed to be worried about something when he said this.

She seemed to be able to vaguely guess something, so she asked tentatively, "By doing this, Director Lou must be taking some risks."

After she finished speaking, she sighed, as if she was happy for the young lady, "If the young lady knew that Director Lou was willing to take the trouble to do all this for her, she would definitely be happy too."

"Ah."

The rainwater on the ground had not dried yet, and there was a sound of stepping on water when the soles of my shoes rolled over it.

The two of them walked forward in silence, holding the palace lanterns. Cuizhu was not familiar with the roads in the palace. After all, she was not from this palace.

What she had some memory of was Lou Jingyuan's residence, which was an extremely depressing place and out of tune with most of the picturesque palace courtyards.

Xiao Liu took her to a courtyard in many twists and turns and arranged for her to rest. Seeing that she was determined to find the young lady, he comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang has already rested. You will be able to see her tomorrow." Cui Zhu heard this, and although she was still worried, she had no choice but to rest as he said.

The lights in her room went out, and then the sound of conversation came from the corridor not far away.

"Master, this is very dangerous. Concubine Li is at odds with us and has tried to harm us several times. This is very dangerous."

Fang Hao paused, as if he didn't know how to start.

"If the master likes Miss Jiang, why not express your feelings directly? From what I see, Miss Jiang is interested in the master, and I don't think she will reject the master."

Lou Jingyuan said: "Now is not the right time. I don't want to make her feel wronged."

A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. "If she is degraded, how will she survive in this world? Besides, if it doesn't work out, she still has somewhere to go."

Fang Hao raised his eyes and glanced at the dark night. "So, Master, you have made up your mind. Do you really want to do this?"

Seeing Lou Jingyuan remained silent, he couldn't help but persuade him, "But my master, this is too dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will be doomed. Anyone who has been in the palace for many years, even the deposed queen, would be afraid of her, even the emperor..."

"I know."

Lou Jingyuan clenched the hot water bottle in his hand, the coldness of his fingertips gradually being enveloped by the warmth. "Why are there only two princes in this palace all these years? I'm afraid it's all her doing. But..."

As he spoke, a light suddenly lit up in his deep eyes, "I must do this, or at least give it a try."

Fang Hao nodded and said nothing more. He just stood quietly beside Lou Jingyuan, gazing at the endless night with him.

The palace was eerily quiet late at night. Scattered stars hung in the sky, trembling slightly. Occasionally, the footsteps of palace servants hurriedly passed by, which seemed extremely dull in the water.

Apart from the sound of breathing, everything is quiet now. Fang Hao can even hear the sound of leaves falling from the treetops.

But Fang Hao and Lou Jingyuan both knew that while the palace seemed calm, undercurrents were surging. On a night like this, the vast palace was filled with unfortunate people.

Therefore, if you are not careful even a little, you will be doomed.

The two of them didn't say anything else, just staring at the endless night in silence.

A shrill cry was heard in the distance. It seemed to be coming from the Ye Ting, and it seemed like the cry of a palace maid who could not bear it any longer and was about to die.

Lou Jingyuan couldn't help but gasp, and many images flashed through his mind.

I couldn't help but tighten my hands around the railing.

The night wind howled and the rain grew heavier.

He couldn't help but wrap himself in his robe, sighed, and then turned and walked into the darkness. He said in a deep voice, "Go back and rest. Perhaps there will never be such a time again in the future."

The rain fell all night long. When Jiang Shiyun woke up in the morning, he had a severe headache and the noisy sound of the system kept ringing in his ears.

[Stinky fox, I called you all night last night, but you didn't listen. Do you take this system seriously?]

Jiang Shiyun yawned and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

[The system has detected that the target's blackening value is increasing and has currently reached 85%. Please find the specific reason for the sudden increase in the target's blackening value and reduce the male protagonist's blackening value.]

Higher again?

Just as Jiang Shiyun was about to doubt himself, the system reminded him again, "Due to the excessive fluctuation of the blackening value this time, please hurry up and try to find the cause quickly to prevent the blackening value from reaching 100%."

Jiang Shiyun was drunk last night, but she remembered what she did. Lou Jingyuan looked at her with ambiguous eyes last night, and he also enjoyed it.

Not really, because her darkening value suddenly increased, there must be other reasons that caused Lou Jingyuan's darkening value to increase.

At the same time, the emperor also knew that Jiang Shiyun was staying in the palace.

He looked worried. This young lady from the Jiang family really didn't know her limits. She was having an unclear relationship with the Second Prince, and now she had her eyes on Lou Jingyuan.

"Go and check to see how far this woman and Jing Yuan have come." The emperor waved his hand and called over his personal eunuch and instructed him.

The old eunuch had served the emperor for many years and naturally understood his thoughts. While serving tea, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty feels that the young lady from the Jiang family is really unworthy?" After saying this, the old eunuch turned and took out several scrolls, unfolding them one by one in front of the emperor. Looking at the scrolls, he introduced them, "Why not take a look at these people? They were all the candidates that Concubine Li favored when she was choosing concubines for the Second Prince. Especially this Miss Xu. Her father is General Xu. He was a general under the command of the Empress's father and was very prestigious in the army. I heard that after the Empress's father died in battle, he has been in charge of the army, and now he is about to achieve a great victory."

The emperor glanced at the scroll carefully several times, picked up the portrait of Miss Xu, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

In the past few days, Concubine Li has been talking about the issue of establishing a crown prince, and court officials are also talking about this matter. There must be some instigation from Concubine Li's mother's family behind this.

Under the current circumstances, the only prince left in public is the second prince.

But the Second Prince usually likes to go to some brothels to spend his days drinking and carousing. In the past, when the Crown Prince was around, it was okay for him to act a little bit. But now that the rebellious son has been locked up in the clan house, he will definitely not be used anymore.

But if the second prince is to be used, the power of Concubine Li's mother's family will only become stronger. It is not a good sign for one family to dominate.

"Send someone to inquire about this Miss Xu and see what her character is like."

"Then hand over the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to Lou Jingyuan. This time, you must let him focus on military affairs and not let his personal feelings get in the way.

Penny wise, pound foolish."

The eunuch nodded and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, but Miss Jiang, what should we do?"

As he spoke, the eunuch fetched the sleeve cage and stood by the emperor's side, then continued, "In my opinion, Miss Jiang's conduct is not upright enough. If she becomes a hindrance to the Third Prince, she might bring him trouble."
