Chapter 621 It’s going to be painful
After lunch, the prince took a short rest and then left the East Palace to go about his official duties.

Yun Qi also took Xie Zhaozhao away.

On the carriage ride back, Xie Zhaozhao was silent all the way.

Yun Qi pinched her fingers and played with them, "Why didn't you ask what my father and I said?"

"It's nothing more than a matter between the DPRK and China."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "You and His Royal Highness must be able to handle these matters with ease. Is there anything worth asking?"

Yun Qi smiled and said nothing.

When he was like this, Xie Zhaozhao took another look.

She has always been keen and understands Yun Qi. Yun Qi will not say this casually for no reason.

In addition, I think of what Yun Qi said earlier about King Zhou's restlessness...

Xie Zhaozhao hesitated and said, "Are you going to take action?"

"Ah."

Yun Qi nodded, "I'll talk to my father today and take action immediately."

"What are you going to do?"

"Come over here."

Xie Zhaozhao, don't put your ears to her.

Yun Qi's angular lips pressed against Xie Zhaozhao's ear and whispered a few words.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly sat upright, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said after a long while: "Are you sure you want this?"

"I am very sure."

Yun Qi leaned back and leaned on the cushion, holding Xie Zhaozhao and leaning against him.

But Xie Zhaozhao felt uneasy because of what he just heard. He held his shoulders and sat up, frowning and asked: "Whose body are you planning to put your hands on? Is it yours or..."

"You should know how painful it is."

Yun Qi said indifferently: "If I touch my body, he won't feel the pain, so he won't make the most useful decision. Only if it hurts me, will he be ruthless."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned: "But this matter...this matter is rebellious, and it may be counterproductive if you are not careful...and you have to take risks with your own life, just in case..."

"Zhao Zhao."

Yun Qi sat up, put his hand on Xie Zhaozhao's cheek and asked softly: "In our journey along the way, has there ever been a time when we were not surrounded by swords and shadows, and when has there been a time when we have not put ourselves in danger?"

"Now we have father, father-in-law and other outside helpers. We are the only ones dealing with matters in the small circle of Beijing. Even if there is an eventuality, the chance of winning is very high."

Xie Zhaozhao pursed his lips.

I have to say that what Yun Qi said makes sense.

The situation is tense now.

The affairs of King Zhou are really difficult to deal with, and there will always be a fight.

It is better to take action yourself than to be plotted and become passive.

Now that Yun Qi has lost the trust of Emperor Xuanwu, once he falls into a passive position, the prince may also be restrained, which will be uncomfortable at that time.

Taking a little risk and getting a head start is indeed the best way.

Xie Zhaozhao breathed a long sigh of relief, "Okay then, I will cooperate with you, Soldier Talisman..."

Xie Zhaozhao raised his hand and held the unicorn-patterned jade medal he wore around his neck. "I will use my discretion. I hope I won't need it."

"Ah."

Yun Qi nodded, approached Xie Zhaozhao and kissed the corner of her lips, "If you are outside and still holding this, I will have more confidence."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned for a moment, then approached Yun Qi and hugged him gently, "I hope everything goes smoothly after this time."

……

The next day, Yun Qi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate corruption as usual.

Zhenlongmai was a big deal to gain the people's support. The prince was distracted by the affairs of Jingxiang Pavilion, but most of the corruption problems fell on Yun Qi.

Xie Zhaozhao also quietly raised his fetus.The free clinic in the suburbs of Beijing has been going on.

Nowadays, there are many free clinics. As time goes by, and the participating doctors and guards know what to do, free clinics have become a normal thing.

Occasionally when Xie Zhaozhao is in good spirits, he will go to the foot of the mountain to take a look at the free clinic and keep an eye on the medicinal materials.

Occasionally, I would ask about Xie Changheng's progress in revising medical books.

Xie Jiajia would still send the storybook every two days, but Xie Zhaozhao stopped reading it.

Xianggui and Xiangrong, who were waiting beside Xie Zhaozhao, felt that Xie Zhaozhao seemed to be relaxing and no different from before, but he was secretly tense and cheering up, as if he was preparing for something.

It’s mid-October in the blink of an eye.

In early winter, the weather is cold.

Xie Zhaozhao's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the hours he sleeps every day start to become longer.

Although he ate small meals frequently, Xie Zhaozhao felt that he still ate a lot.

And sure enough, there were many lines on my belly.

After taking a shower, Xie Zhaozhao put on soft pajamas, counted the lines, and thought to himself, why would there be such obvious lines if he didn't all use anti-line ointments?

This pattern is a bit ugly and is an eyesore.

However, Xie Zhaozhao has been busy with things on his mind recently, so he doesn't have much time to worry about the lines.

Light and familiar footsteps sounded along with the crisp sound of the bead curtain.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes and saw Yun Qi coming in from the outside wearing a loose and comfortable cotton robe.

He went to the back room after Xie Zhaozhao took a bath. When he approached the bed, a refreshing scent of acacia came to his nostrils. There was also a faint scent of sunshine on the cotton robe, which smelled very good.

Without the smell of ambergris, Xie Zhaozhao felt that he was more kind and gentle.

"Four."

Yun Qi stepped in and saw the lines on Xie Zhaozhao's belly, and asked the question that Xie Zhaozhao had just thought about, "Why do they still appear after using ointment?"

He frowned and half-knelt on the footrest, and gently touched the lines with his calloused fingertips, "Will it hurt?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy, but it's not very severe."

"I'll ask someone to call the imperial doctor——" Yun Qi lowered his head, looked at the lines seriously, and was about to greet people outside.

Xie Zhaozhao grabbed his hand and said, "I was yelled at. It's just two stripes. You have to be pregnant. It's a small matter. How are you preparing for that matter? It's been a while."

Yun Qi said: "We are ready. There will be some movement in about a day or two."

"Come up and sit down."

Xie Zhaozhao patted the place next to him and took Yun Qi's hand, "Sit down and talk."

"OK then."

Yun Qi laughed, got up from the footrest, got on the bed and sat on the outside, spreading a quilt for himself and Xie Zhaozhao, and his fingers fell on the lines on Xie Zhaozhao's belly.

"Shall I scratch it for you?" Yun Qi said, but he didn't actually scratch it, but pressed it gently with his fingertips.

It relieves those itches without causing pain.

He then asked with concern: "I heard from Grandma Li that you will have cramps in the later stages. I don't seem to have noticed any cramps in you recently."

"I don't know..." Xie Zhaozhao grabbed Yun Qi's wrist.

Yun Qi looked up and asked, "What?"

"I'm worried." Xie Zhaozhao sighed: "Although I know you have planned everything, I am still worried about you. What if something happens... This method of feeding wolves with your body may cause the skin to peel off."

In the past, Xie Zhaozhao was wise and calm. If this incident had happened when she was not pregnant, she really wouldn't have felt anything wrong.

After all, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub.

But now my mood has changed during my pregnancy.

In addition, this matter will fall on Yun Qi...

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but say: "If I were to take the risk myself, I probably wouldn't be so nervous!"
