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

Chapter 625: Bear it for three more days
The thick smoke and fire lasted for about half an hour. After the fire was extinguished, the surrounding area quickly fell into silence.

When Xie Zhaozhao returned to Han Yuexuan's dormitory, Grandma Li prepared some supper for Xie Zhaozhao and persuaded her softly: "The princess still has to eat something, even if it is not for herself, but also for the child in her belly."

"You are already a month old. How can you eat so little for several days in a row?"

"If His Highness knew you were like this in the palace, I'm afraid he would be worried..."

Xie Zhaozhao sighed lightly.

Because of worries, I eat without knowing the taste. No matter how much I try to persuade me, I lose my appetite. How much can I eat?
But looking at his loyal servant, Xie Zhaozhao still took two more bites as if giving Xie Changyuan face.

But those two bites were better than nothing.

Grandma Li couldn't persuade her any more, so she sighed and asked someone to put the food away again.

Hongxia walked in again at this time.

Before he spoke, just looking at her face, Xie Zhaozhao knew what she was going to say, "The guards outside are getting tighter, aren't they?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Miss." Hongxia gritted her teeth and said, "We have doubled the number of troops around us, and there are twice as many troops in the back alley. They are all dressed up like the people in front."

"The surrounding people and shops were driven away. At Miaoshan Hall... the servant saw through the crack in the door that those people rushed in."

"I'm afraid they discovered the incident that caused this leak, and the people there were taken away, no less..."

To be tortured.

Hongxia didn't know what the problem was yet, but seeing Xie Zhaozhao's calm demeanor, she probably guessed that the masters knew what was going on, so she didn't say the next four words.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly: "It is inevitable that the people below will be implicated and suffer."

But if they didn't do this and let others take the lead, it wouldn't be as easy as simply suffering the consequences, and someone would be killed by accident.

The child started to move again.

Xie Zhaozhao's belly felt hard.

The child hasn't moved much recently, but at night, he has to move his muscles and bones in Xie Zhaozhao's belly, and his belly is often pushed up.

Xie Zhaozhao wondered if the child in his belly also knew that his father would be back at night, so he rested during the day and made noise at night?
Xie Zhaozhao looked at the candle on the lampstand not far away. The flames were dancing, and it seemed that he could still see Yun Qi's gentle and smiling eyes in it.

"Aqi..."

Xie Zhaozhao's palm fell on his belly, feeling the child's naughty fetal movements. He felt slightly sour and couldn't help but worry.

Hongxia and Hongxiu wanted to persuade but didn't know how, so they had no choice but to quietly stay by Xie Zhaozhao's side, accompanying him every step of the way, so that they could handle anything immediately.

It was getting late, and Xie Zhaozhao knew it was time to rest, so he stopped talking and helped Xianggui back to the bed.

She slept in a hazy state that night, half asleep and half awake, and woke up again before dawn.

"How's the situation outside?"

This is what Xie Zhaozhao asked as soon as he sat up holding Xianggui's hand.

Hongxia went to rest for the time being. She tilted her head and was accompanied by Hongxiu. After hearing this, she quickly stepped forward and replied, "It was a peaceful night. It's still the same outside."

"Then pay careful attention. The soldiers of the palace guard the door to prevent people from outside from breaking in and to prevent restless people in the palace from causing trouble." Xie Zhaozhao dropped his feet and put them on the footrest. shoe.

Xie Zhaozhao added: "Fifth brother, if there is any movement outside, he will send news in at any time. You must pay attention carefully."

Although the siege outside is like an iron barrel, as long as you are willing, you may not be unable to pass on the message.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan had already discussed the method and code.

Hong Xiu agreed and then retreated.

Aunt Li walked in and asked softly: "Princess, what are you going to eat today?" "You don't have to choose, you can eat whatever you want. I'm a little hungry." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said to Aunt Li, "You can Be more prepared and I will have a good meal today."

After a night, Xie Zhaozhao gradually calmed down.

She had to take care of things at all times. She couldn't afford to be unable to eat like yesterday, and she had to take a good rest to replenish her energy.

Grandma Li was overjoyed to see her cheer up, and hurriedly took her people to prepare the meal herself.

After a while, she brought breakfast to Xie Zhaozhao, all of which tasted Xie Zhaozhao's favorite.

Xie Zhaozhao ate slowly, seriously, and in a normal amount.

This made Grandma Li feel quite relieved, and she thoughtfully asked Xie Zhaozhao what she wanted to eat for lunch.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't sleep well last night and went to rest after breakfast.

Hongxiu and Hongxia took turns guarding the outside, and the commander of the palace soldiers and Xuan Jing were also watching. Everything in the palace was safe, but it was banned, which inevitably caused panic and unrest in everyone's hearts.

After Xie Zhaozhao had a meal at noon, he walked around a little to eat, and also checked the status of the guards everywhere and the servants in the house.

Seeing that Xie Zhaozhao was still walking around with a big belly, the servants suddenly realized that this was the only royal concubine in the royal family, the daughter of Duke Liang, and she was pregnant with Liujia.

The fact that she can stay safely in Prince Dingxi's mansion proves that things outside are not that critical yet.

Everyone actually gradually calmed down.

……

In this way, Xie Zhaozhao stayed in this mansion for several days. Except for being surrounded and sealed, everything was as usual.

On the third day, Xie Changyuan came in with the news, and actually borrowed Dong Gong's hand.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver things to Xie Zhaozhao, his pregnant daughter-in-law, to comfort her.

Even though those Longlin Guards only obeyed His Highness's orders and were not so kind to others, the Crown Prince was always benevolent, so these people also gave the Crown Prince face, and sent him in after a quick inspection and found no problems.

Little did they know that the news was contained in the interlayer of the wooden box.

Xie Changyuan said in the letter that he wanted to reassure Xie Zhaozhao that Yun Qi had been under house arrest in Anle Hall, but that Xuan Ming and Lu Hanqiu and those close to Yun Qi had been affected by Chi Yu.

Those who go to jail go to jail, and those who are temporarily suspended are temporarily suspended.

Emperor Xuanwu's cronies were investigating the matter intensively. Although Emperor Xuanwu had issued a strict order not to allow the prince to interfere, the prince still intervened.

Xie Zhaozhao slowly closed the letter and burned it on the candlelight. "Now that His Majesty is unconscious and mentally unstable, and A Qi is under house arrest in Anle Hall, it is natural that the Crown Prince has the final say in this capital."

Prince.

He has been in charge of the Six Ministries for many years and has gained the wholehearted trust of Emperor Xuanwu. The three divisions of the East Palace are all important ministers in the court. He has always been benevolent and has won the heart of the courtiers.

Even the people sent by Emperor Xuanwu to investigate Yunqi had to give the prince some respect.

To put it harshly, His Majesty is too old after all. If the prince accidentally fails to survive, he will surely ascend the throne immediately. Which of the courtiers will risk offending the new king at this time?

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the letter that was burned to ashes and asked slowly: "How many days has it been since His Highness was trapped in the palace to today?"

Hongxia replied: "Today is the seventh day."

"The seventh day... is almost here." Xie Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The original agreement was ten days.

If you endure it for three more days... no, two days and two nights, it will be the tenth day.
