Chapter 28. Tracking

After another day of rest in the Wind Rest Hall, Xiao Ziqing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He walked into his room and sat down on the edge of the bed. Now that the truth about the assassination has been found out, he can also take a short rest.

Sitting on the bed, he picked up a book and began to read it. He flipped through the pages with his fingertips, but he couldn't read the content at all. Just as he was about to put down the book and lie down to rest, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Xiao Ziqing put down the book upon hearing the sound, and after waiting for a while, Ye Chen came in from the door. He walked to the center of the room, bowed his head and remained silent.

"Ye Chen, what's the matter?" Xiao Ziqing turned to look at him and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, I heard that you are not feeling well. I want to ask if you feel better?" Ye Chen was silent for a while, then asked softly, then he raised his head and looked at the person on the bed with a trace of concern in his eyes.

"It's all right." Xiao Ziqing nodded lightly when he heard the words, and after talking to him again, he felt a little sleepy, so he raised his hand to let him go, and then lay down on his side to sleep for a while. As soon as he touched the pillow, he couldn't Suppressed and fell asleep.

Ye Chen walked outside the door, and was about to step away, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and went back to the room quietly, afraid that the person on the bed would wake up, so he specially clicked his sleeping point, then stood by the bed, His pulse was checked on his wrist.

Putting two fingers on Xiao Ziqing's wrist, after a while, Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the sleeping person on the bed in disbelief. He changed his hand and checked again, but the result was still the same as before. He had to believe it.

He originally thought that his young master stayed in the palace only because he was unwell, but he didn't expect that there was another reason, but who did this child belong to?

Ye Chen sat by the bed, settled his mind for a while, and suddenly thought of the man who always accompanied his son, yes, except him, no one can touch his son's body, he must be right!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen stood up and walked to the center of the room, standing straight. After an hour, Xiao Ziqing slowly woke up and turned around. He met his gaze and hesitated to speak.

"Why did you come back again?" Xiao Ziqing looked at Ye Chen's upright body suspiciously and asked inexplicably.Feeling a little weak, he managed to sit up, leaning against the edge of the bed and looking at him.

Ye Chen was silent when he heard the words. He really wanted to ask, but he was afraid that his young master would be angry. After a while, he still couldn't help asking: "My young master, are you...pregnant?"

Xiao Ziqing was taken aback, how did he know?Could it be that he just came in to check his pulse while he was asleep?But he didn't realize it, was he really too careless?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ziqing met Ye Chen's gaze and nodded slightly. This is his confidant, he can choose to trust him, and during his pregnancy, there will always be someone who will do something for him, so even if Ye Chen If he doesn't find out, he will tell him himself after a while.

Seeing him nodding, Ye Chen was very surprised, but how did a man get pregnant?This made him puzzled, and he looked up again, looking at the person on the bed suspiciously.

Looking at his eyes, Xiao Ziqing guessed what he was thinking, so he told him everything Li Yuyi said about the effects of Bi Luo Dan.

"My lord, it's against the sky for a man to conceive a child. It's something that hurts your body." Ye Chen was silent when he heard the words, and then said worriedly after a while: "My lord, is that person right? Now that you have his child , why didn't you tell him?"

Xiao Ziqing was silent when he heard the words, and did not answer his question. No matter how many thoughts he had, they finally turned into a wry smile on his lips, which could not dissipate.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Chen didn't ask any more questions. After he left, Xiao Ziqing sat on the bed, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, and remained silent for a long time.

******

Unknowingly, a few days passed, and Xiao Ziqing's morning sickness reaction also started to become serious. He was often so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat or sleep well. Since only Ye Chen knew about all this, he had to go out and buy some for him. drug.

On this day, Ye Chen was sent out by him to buy medicine, so he had nothing to do in the house. Xiao Ziqing simply changed his clothes and was going to go out for a walk. He hadn't walked the streets for a long time, and he didn't know what it was like outside.

On the street, Xiao Ziqing walked casually. The streets in Beijing were very lively, and there were hawkers walking around everywhere.At a glance, there are restaurants, jewelry and garments, workshops and soy sauce gardens. He suddenly passed a preserved fruit shop while walking. After thinking about it, he stopped and walked in.

"What do you want to buy, my lord?" Seeing a customer coming, the shopkeeper warmly greeted him and asked.

Xiao Ziqing didn't answer right away. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "I want to buy some sour plums, do you have them here?" The morning sickness reaction was too severe, so he had to buy some sour plums to suppress it.

"Yes! Young Master, which one do you like?" The shopkeeper replied with a smile, pointing to the variety of sour plums beside him. The young man in front of him looked like a rich man in rich clothes. Thinking about it, he said: " Is the son buying it for his wife? That’s great!"

Xiao Ziqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, but did not answer. He glanced at all kinds of sour plums, picked up one kind and tasted it, but it was not sour enough, so he changed another kind, and after changing three kinds, he nodded slightly, Pointing to that kind of sour plum, he said softly: "That's all, wrap some up for me, a little more."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper squinted his eyes with a smile, and he knew that this young man was a rich man and a master of goods. The kind he bought was the best sour plum in their shop, and it was better than ordinary sour plums. Much more expensive.

After picking up the sour plums, Xiao Ziqing smiled politely and walked outside. After staying outside for so long, he should go back to the mansion. Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the mansion.

While walking, he sensitively felt that someone was following him behind him, and there was more than one person. He narrowed his eyes slightly and quickened his pace.

After walking for a while, he felt that the people behind him were closer than before, and they were full of murderous aura. Xiao Ziqing clenched his fists and dodged a few steps into an alley, hiding behind the wall.

When the people behind him followed, Xiao Ziqing stepped out, stood a few steps away from them, and looked at them without saying a word.There were a total of five people following him, and none of them seemed to be easy to mess with.

After watching for a while, Xiao Ziqing asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The stalkers looked at each other, smiled coldly, and stabbed at him without saying a word. The several figures were immediately entangled in one place, and the outcome was hard to tell for a while.

Xiao Ziqing was beating and kicking, and suddenly felt some discomfort in his stomach, he must have moved his fetus, he squinted his eyes, got up quickly, and quickly defeated them.

Seeing that they were no match for him, the few followers did not continue to fight, but quickly dodged away, and when they reached a forest, they leaned against a tree, and the leader punched the tree trunk, saying in a deep voice: "Look! It turns out that we underestimated him too much, we thought he was easy to deal with, but we didn't expect his martial arts to be exactly the same."

"Brother, I have two things that are very strange." The other person was silent for a while, met the gaze of the leader above, and continued in a low voice: "We still don't know who he is, and just now he seemed to be unwell .”

The leader frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice after a long while: "You are right, this matter is our carelessness, it seems that we have to discuss it again, and the identity, it's not that the leader didn't check, but that he couldn't find it."

"Then why didn't we follow him just now to see where he lives and what his identity is." Another person said indifferently, and he looked at the leader with some doubts.

"Are you trying to expose our identities? Don't forget the order from the head," the leader glanced at him with displeasure on his face, he sneered, and continued: "It's just a male favorite of the leader of the Demon Cult. What identity does it have, if we kill him and let the leader of the Demon Cult show himself, we will have a chance to take down the Demon Cult in one fell swoop and avenge our shame."

Hearing what he said, the rest of the people nodded in unison.Several people stayed in place for a while, and then left quickly.

Besides, when Xiao Ziqing returned to the mansion, he felt more and more discomfort in his abdomen. He sat on the bed and tried his best to adjust his breath to calm down the fetus in his womb.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Chen came back. After hearing that he was just about to be assassinated, he immediately went to fry the medicine, brought it to the room, put it on the bedside, and went down to investigate who the assassin was.

Xiao Ziqing picked up the bowl of anti-fetal medicine. The thick black concoction looked extremely bitter. He closed his eyes, endured the nausea, and drank it with his head up. After a while, the medicine took effect, and his stomach gradually became weak. It hurts.

At night, Xiao Ziqing was sitting alone on the bed. He raised his hand to caress his abdomen, but there was no change. If he hadn't had morning sickness, he often thought that being pregnant was just a dream he had.

With his right hand covering his abdomen, the corners of Xiao Ziqing's lips were slightly pursed, and a faint smile gradually appeared. He gently stroked his abdomen, his eyes were gentle and peaceful.

At the same time, in the palace.

Jun Yizhi finished reviewing the memorial, but he did not leave the imperial study room immediately, but sat there without moving. His mind was filled with Xiao Ziqing's contented smile when he was asleep, and his heart suddenly ached uncontrollably.

Sixi came to refill tea for the fifth time. Just as he was about to step back, he heard Jun Yizhi's hoarse voice in the quiet room, "Sixi, do you think I still have a chance?"

Sixi was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what he was talking about. He was silent for a while, then lowered his head and replied softly: "Your Majesty, isn't the Prime Minister and that person not together?"

Hearing this, Jun Yizhi turned to look at him puzzled.

Sixi felt his gaze, and continued softly: "Since they are not together, of course you still have a chance, Your Majesty, why don't you try to court the Prime Minister?"

Hearing the words, Jun Yizhi suddenly realized, yes, now that Ziqing and that person have separated, he has a lot of opportunities to confess his thoughts to him, not afraid that he will not accept him. As for the child, he doesn't mind, as long as it is Ziqing's child. , he can accept him tolerantly, as long as Ziqing is by his side.

Thinking of this, Jun Yizhi secretly clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.After waiting for so many years, he shouldn't have given up lightly in such a useless manner. Now that Ziqing is in Beijing, I believe that as long as he slowly influences him, he will definitely accept him!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Jun Yizhi stood up, looked at Sixi who bowed his head aside, and said in a deep voice: "Sixi, you are very good, go down and receive the reward." After finishing speaking, he turned around Going to the bedroom, a faint smile floated on the corner of his lips.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sixi lowered her head and smiled, happy in her heart.
