Lone Grass Gap

During the New Year, due to the sudden attack on the prince and his wife, the entire palace was a bit dull, without the lively and joyful atmosphere of the usual Chinese New Year.

However, Guiyuan is very lively.Perhaps it was because it was located in a remote place in the palace, so outside news and atmosphere could never be heard here.

The room was burning with red coals, and on the windows were Binger Yueer and Qingming Qingping's carefully cut bright red window grilles, and on the door, there was a majestic door god.

While looking at the decoration in the room with a smile on his face, Fan Hua and Binger Yueer prepared the ingredients for the hot pot, not to mention how happy they were.

"What about Qingming and the others?" he asked.

Bing'er replied: "They have gone to the prince's side, and they will be back later."

Fan Hua nodded and sighed, "Oh, if I knew it earlier, I would have waited for them to come back before preparing."

Yue'er laughed "puchi": "Hehe, son, why are you so lazy after winter."

Fan Hua grimaced, "Because you took good care of me."

Bing'er was also amused by him, "Young master, you're making a fool of yourself."

"Ha ha……"

After a while, when they were almost ready, Qingping and the two came back with chills all over their bodies.

"My lord." The two called out at the same time.

Fan Hua responded with a smile, "You guys are back, let's have hot pot today!"

Qing Ping, who had been with Fan Hua for a while, probably also knew his temper, so he responded with a smile.

"Come, come, come, before eating, I will give you a red envelope. It's not too much, just to make it auspicious..." After they all sat down, Fan Hua said with a smile, and then took out four red envelopes from his pocket come out.

Binger Yueer took it with a smile, and then said a few words of congratulations.Qing Ming and Qing Ping glanced at each other, and took over under Fan Hua's urging.

"I wish your son good health and everything goes well." The two said in unison.

Fan Hua smiled and opened his eyes: "Thank you, thank you..."

"Young master, you are in such poor health, can you still eat spicy food?" Seeing that Fan Hua was still beaming, Bing'er glanced at the contents of the pot and couldn't help interrupting.

"It's just a little spicy, and I added some blood-enriching food and medicinal materials..." Fan Hua laughed.

Bing'er was also infected, "Okay, the young master is so interested, we should be happy too."

"exactly……"

The five people in a room began to eat lively. At first, Qing Ming and Qing Ping were not used to it, but after seeing the two girls and Fan Hua scrambling for the food in the pot, the two of them started eating together. Also gradually let go.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Qingming Qingping jumped up from his seat almost at the same time, and jumped towards the door: "Who?"

Bing'er Yue'er, who was still scrambling for something in the pot, was terrified by the actions of the two of them, Fan Hua frowned, who is so free to come to such a remote courtyard during Chinese New Year?

"It's me." A light female voice sounded.

Fan Hua pondered for a while in doubt, the voice was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The door was opened, and Fan Hua looked over.

"Are you, Madam's maid?" Fan Hua looked at her and asked.

The maid nodded, then glanced at Bing'er Yue'er and Qingping Qingming again, hesitated to speak.

Fan Hua looked at her and said, "It's okay, just speak up if you have something to say, they are all trustworthy people."

Bing'er and Yue'er looked at her curiously, but Qing Ming and Qing Ping, who stood beside Fan Hua again, looked nervous, but Fan Hua didn't notice.

After hesitating for a while, the maid said: "Miss, I want Dr. Fan to come over, she has something urgent to see you."

Fan Hua was stunned, "That's all?" He thought it was such a big deal.

The maid nodded.

"I see. I'll be there after lunch."

"Thank you sir."

After the maid walked away, Yue'er asked suspiciously: "What's going on?"

Bing'er also looked at Fan Hua suspiciously: "The young master and madam have only met each other a few times, right?"

Fan Hua nodded, "I don't know what's going on either."

But he thought, it must have something to do with the child in her belly.

Qingming and Qingping's faces were tense, "Young master, if you don't know what's going on, don't go there, in case something unexpected happens..."

Fan Hua frowned, "I'm relieved about this, don't worry, this is the palace of the king, so it won't be so easy to make mistakes."

"Forget about it, continue to eat ours." He sat back and started eating again.

Qing Ming and Qing Ping glanced at each other, and then Qing Ping nodded.

"My lord, my lord just asked me to do something in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave first." Qing Ping said.

Fan Hua said dissatisfiedly: "The New Year's Eve still needs someone to do things...then are you full yet?"

"I'm full, I'm full."

"Then go get busy."

"Thank you sir."

Half an hour later, Fanhua stood at the gate of Xingyuan.

The maid had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw him, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Doctor Fan, Madam has been waiting for you for a long time, you can go in quickly!"

Van Hua nodded.

As soon as she saw Fan Hua, Nie Qian sat up almost immediately, but she let out a cry of pain because she moved too fast and pulled the injury on her back.

"Mrs. Yue, be careful." Fan Hua hurriedly supported her, and took the pillow for her to lean on.

Nie Qian smiled, "No problem." After finishing speaking, she lovingly touched her slightly protruding belly.

"Thank you, the child is saved." She said.

Fan Hua smiled and replied, "It's a normal situation, and it has nothing to do with me."

Nie Qian smiled slightly, looked down at her belly, and when she raised her head again, there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

"Do you need my help with anything?" Fan Hua looked at her and asked bluntly.

Nie Qian pursed her lips, then nodded firmly.

After signaling to the other people in the room, only she and Fan Hua were left in the whole room.

After a long time, she said, "Doctor Fan, do you know why I married into the palace?"

"I have something to ask for." Fan Hua said lightly.

Nie Qian smiled slightly, and continued: "My father is old, but his heart is still not reconciled, and he even thinks that one day he will be able to sit on the throne of the emperor, but his achievements can no longer support his ambition. "

"So he married you to the palace just to satisfy his own selfishness?" Fan Hua frowned.

Nie Qian smiled wryly, "There is no way, in his eyes, there are only status, fame and power."

Fan Hua asked suspiciously: "My lord has such great ability, can an old general value him so much?"

"Of course," Nie Qian replied, "except for the high-ranking national teachers in the palace, there are five kings under the emperor, but now that King Yu is old and has no successors, King Qing is mediocre and arrogant His son succeeded to the throne, King Po has been out of power for a long time because he has been suppressed by the emperor, but Xie Mingzong, the king of Ming, is still strong because of the great help of the emperor. He has a very high prestige in the northern part of the prosperous dynasty, and he has a record before. An eminent general has unlimited potential."

"My father married me to Yue Qing because he was interested in Yue Qing's future." Speaking of this, Nie Qian paused, her expression suddenly became sad.

"But, are you against this marriage?" Fan Hua asked tentatively.

Nie Qian nodded.

Fan Hua glanced at Nie Qian with shame on his face, and was extremely speechless in his heart.He didn't show it though, just blinked in response.

But what Nie Qian said next made him unable to calm down.

"The child in my belly," Nie Qian hesitated for a while, before slowly saying, "It's not Yue Qing's."

"Uh..." Fan Hua's face became stiff at this moment.Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after a long time he asked with difficulty: "Are you...are you telling the truth?"

Nie Qian sighed, and said quietly: "Do you think I will make fun of myself?"

Fan Hua leaned against the corner of the bed and didn't react for a long time.

"Let me tell you frankly, the child's father is someone I knew before entering the mansion."

Tears slowly filled her eyes, "He and I were childhood sweethearts, but he was just a scholar, so my father has always looked down on him. No matter how hard he fights, no matter how hard he tries to treat me well, he can't reach my father's level. required standards."

"So, did he know you were pregnant?" Fan Hua asked.

Nie Qian nodded, "Well, he also knows about my injury, so I'm worried that if he can't hold back for a while, he will break into the palace. That's something I don't want to see."

"But," Fan Hua smiled, "you want to see him again, don't you?"

Nie Qian snorted and laughed, "Nothing can escape your eyes. Could it be that besides your superb medical skills, you also know how to read minds?"

Fan Hua shrugged helplessly, "This is just the general development process of the storyline."

"What did you say?" Nie Qian asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, let's get back to business." After finishing speaking, Fan Hua suddenly frowned, "You are in the palace, but you are secretly colluding with outsiders. Are you afraid that others will see it and cause gossip?"

"I'm not afraid of this, because..." Nie Qian stopped her mouth suddenly, a strange emotion flashed in her eyes, and she quickly took it back, "Yue Qing and I have our own needs. That's it……"

"That……"

"Stop discussing his affairs, let's talk first..." Nie Qian interrupted Fanhua, and just about to continue, another sharp voice interrupted her again.

"Miss!" The maid rushed in with an anxious face, and then whispered in Nie Qian's ear for a while, Fan Hua looked at Nie Qian's expression full of embarrassment.

"He's really here..." Nie Qian said to Fan Hua with a wry smile.

"Your childhood sweetheart?" Fan Hua asked in surprise.

"Hey..." Nie Qian sighed, "I even let people tell him that I'm fine, why did he come here again, and people found out..."

"Has been discovered?"

Nie Qian said helplessly: "Actually, the reason I came to you is because I want you to give me a few words for him..."

"Me?" Fan Hua was full of doubts, "Where are the people around you?"

"When you came, didn't you see those two guards? They were sent to monitor me..."

Fan Hua suddenly realized, that's right, Nie Qian was happy for no reason, so Yue Qing naturally knew that the child in her belly was not his.

While Fanhua was in deep thought, a sentence Nie Qian said brought him back: "You are the only one who can help me."

"Huh?" Fan Hua was puzzled.

Nie Qian wiped away the tears on her face, "Don't say much, if you go late, he will really die, Doctor Fan, please save him... I beg you."

As a human being in two lifetimes, what Fan Hua fears most is that others will beg him, especially women.

"But," he still hesitated, "I don't know what ability I have to influence the prince's decision."

"You have." Nie Qian said with certainty.

Fan Hua was still hesitating, but Nie Qian continued: "Doctor Fan, you can't just leave him alone..." After that, she lifted the quilt and wanted to kneel in front of Fan Hua.

Fan Hua hurriedly stopped her, "That's all, I promise."

Nie Qian smiled and cried and thanked him.

The two talked for a while, and finally Fanhua told her to take a good rest before turning around and leaving.But as soon as he reached the door, Fan Hua hesitated again.

For some reason, he always felt that he would have unbearable consequences for doing so.
