As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 271
A faint light flashed quickly in the eyes of Yanli who was standing behind the prince, but disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The attendant who was standing by the side stepped back in response.

The prince continued to devote himself to official duties.

Not long after, the attendant who had left earlier stumbled back, "Your Highness, your Majesty is not well, Your Highness——"

"What happened?" The prince raised his eyes, frowned and said, "How are you so flustered?"

"Your Highness—"

The attendant knelt down and said, "I just followed the prince's instructions to pick up the princess from Hui'an Hall, but when I arrived, the princess became unwell, and then, then -"

The prince's face changed slightly and he stood up, "What's wrong with her?"

"The Crown Princess is pregnant and gave birth prematurely." The attendant gasped, "The situation is very critical."

The prince was shocked when he heard the news and froze on the spot.

Pregnant?
Before the Water and Land Conference, he had been busy with government affairs for a long time and had not entered the East Palace. How could the Crown Princess be pregnant?
The prince's face gradually turned livid, but his expression was extremely calm, "Have you called someone?"

"No..." the attendant whispered: "I didn't say much to anyone. I came to report to the prince first."

"it is good."

The prince came out from behind the desk and hurried out, "Find a few trustworthy people and go to Hui'an Hall."

"Yes."

After the attendants left, the prince went all the way to Hui'an Hall.

Yan Li followed him like a shadow.

The night was very quiet.

The entire East Palace was also very quiet.

At the prince's instruction, the attendant kept his mouth shut and found someone to do something for him.

But Jingyi's movement in the night still attracted the attention of others in the East Palace.

The prince arrived at Hui'an Hall half a quarter of an hour later. There were already the doctor, Wen Po, and a trustworthy old woman who had been summoned by his attendants.

The princess's shrill screams could be heard from inside.

The attendant came forward and reported: "The doctor said that the child may not survive until he is less than a month old."

"understood."

The prince said calmly: "Save the life of the prince."

"The little man understands."

The prince stopped outside, listening to the high and low screams inside, his face as cold as frost and without any warmth.

After a long, long time, the screams inside became smaller and smaller until they disappeared, and then someone came out to report: "Your Highness, that child——"

"How is the princess?"

"Very weak, but still awake."

"it is good."

The prince turned around and went inside. The expressions of his two trusted attendants changed slightly and they quickly stopped him, "Your Highness, it's a mess inside. You can't go in -"

The prince stopped and stared gloomily at the dimly lit Hui'an Hall.

"Your Highness."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded. Zhang Liangdi rushed over and held the prince's arm, "Don't go in, lest I bump into you. I'll leave this matter to my concubine."

"I will take care of it properly."

The prince took a deep breath, but without taking another half step forward, he responded with a cold voice.

Zhang Liangdi ordered the servants to retreat where they should and pass where they should.

After the prince looked at it twice, he turned around and left with his sleeves rolled up.

In the distance, Pei Liangdi tightened her handkerchief and sighed. Why was she so late that Zhang Liangdi got there first?
……

For several days in a row, Xie Zhaozhao stayed at Duke Liang's residence and never went out.

Xie Zhaozhao made people stare outside.

Nothing was found out about Mr. Pei's case.That night when Lu Jingrong told him about Dong Gong's pregnancy, Yun Qi left quickly. He said he would contact him before leaving, but everything was calm after leaving.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that Yun Qi probably knew what he knew, so he just waited to hear the news.

The house is still the same as before.

In addition to taking care of Yue Ya, Xie Jiajia's mind was filled with things like writing a storybook.

On Chen Shulan's side, the situation was naturally stable after Xie Changyuan cooperated.

Summer is approaching, the weather is getting hotter and muggier, and when the sun shines, people feel very sleepy.

Xie Zhaozhao was practicing calligraphy in the room. After yawning for a while, he finally couldn't bear it and went back to the couch to take a nap.

It was more than an hour later when I got up, but my body was still lazy.

Xianggui couldn't help but say, "I must be tired from reading the medical books Mr. Lu sent me for too long last night."

"Well." Xie Zhaozhao yawned, "You have to go to bed early tonight, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on."

Lu Jingrong sends books about medicine every few days.

There are also some unique copies he compiled himself.

It was different from Mr. Miao's hospital, so Xie Zhaozhao also looked at it very seriously.

"Is Miss Chen still safe today?" Xie Zhaozhao asked as he stood up to drink tea.

"It's safe." Xianggui nodded and said, "When Xiangrong came over just now, she said that Miss Chen was outside admiring the flowers and she looked very good."

"That's good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, and suddenly something came to his mind: "Appreciating flowers? Where can I enjoy flowers?"

"Back garden." Xianggui whispered, "The fifth young master is with me."

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Oh", a little curious, and took Xianggui to the back garden.

It was afternoon, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Xie Zhaozhao walked slowly on the verandah, slowly shaking his fan and staring not far away.

Chen Shulan was wearing a warm white plain skirt today. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with colorful branches, flowers, plants and butterflies. It looked almost as vivid as the flowers and butterflies in the garden.

Holding a small fan with fringed tassels in her hand, she pounced towards a colorful butterfly that landed on the flower in front of her.

The butterfly fluttered and flew away gracefully. Chen Shulan wrinkled her thin eyebrows, a look of annoyance on her small and delicate face.

Xie Changyuan stood on one side, holding an umbrella in one hand to protect Chen Shulan from the sun, and holding a folding fan in the other hand and swinging it slowly.

Seeing the butterfly fly away, Chen Shulan was annoyed and rolled his eyes sadly.

Then when Chen Shulan looked towards him for comfort, she immediately put on the gentlest and most carefree smile, "If you fly, fly. Any butterfly with wings will fly away."

Chen Shulan was not comforted, pinching his sleeve, frowning and flattening her mouth, her eyes full of unhappiness.

Xie Changyuan took a deep breath and put the fan into his waist.

The hand that originally held the fan also became a fist.

He brought his fist to Chen Shulan and slowly opened it.

Chen Shulan protected his hands with both hands, looking at the caught colorful butterfly inside and smiling sweetly. She also pulled his sleeves and shook them, as if to praise him for his greatness.

"It's just a little trick."

Xie Changyuan said lazily, letting Chen Shulan open his hand and let the butterfly go.

Then, Chen Shulan took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped off the powder of butterfly wings on Xie Changyuan's palm, and held his hand as a matter of course.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, and Xianggui behind him whispered: "Just now, Xiangrong said that the fifth master was helping Miss Chen catch butterflies. I didn't expect that he is still catching butterflies now. The fifth master is really patient."

"From just now to now, at least half an hour has passed, and you have caught dozens of butterflies, right?"

"Fuck!"

Suddenly a low curse came from behind, and Xie Jiajia came from the other side of the corridor, grinding her teeth and said, "Lao Wu is really patient. If he is so caring, wouldn't it make the little girl's heart jump up and down?"
