marry a princess

Chapter 305

In Ningshou Palace.Birou and Cui Liu sat on the chairs beside each other, resting their heads on their hands, drowsy.Su Yan and Leng Ling sat opposite each other at the table, one of them unconsciously held the tea bowl in his hand, and the other clasped his hands, but they all looked at the outside in unison, with a trace of anxiety in their expressions.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Miss come back?" Leng Ling had been with Bai Ziwan for a short time, so she didn't know her very well, so she couldn't help worrying.

Su Yan patted her hand reassuringly, and said with a slight smile, "Miss never does anything unsure, let's wait and see."

About a quarter of an hour later, they heard footsteps and voices coming from the outside. The two looked at each other, stood up, saw the person coming in, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Miss……"

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you hurt somewhere?" Leng Ling held Bai Ziwan's hand, his expression was full of worry.

"I'll talk later if you have anything to say. I'll put Yingying on the couch first." Bai Hongtai avoids the two of them, puts Bai Ziwan on the couch, and tells Su Yan, "Su Yan, you go out." See if Eunuch Yu has invited the imperial doctor over."

Seeing that Bai Hongtai's expression was not right, Su Yan thought that something was wrong, so he quickly agreed and went outside in a hurry.Bai Ziwan rolled her eyes involuntarily when she heard the words, didn't she say that she was fine?What are you still so worried about?

My heart is warm.He is not her biological father, but he gave her all his fatherly love, "Father, I'm really fine. I just..."

Bai Hongtai held Bai Ziwan's hand, thinking that she was afraid that he would be worried, so he said so, and immediately said, "Don't be afraid; the imperial doctor will be here soon." After staying in the dry well for five days at midnight, ordinary people are fine, Ah Wan is pregnant now, even if someone brings water and food, her body can't stand it.

In the past few days, Min'er has been secretly disclosing the news about Queen Wang to them. They don't know when Queen Wang will act. Blame, shed a few tears.But just now, she couldn't sit still, she found an excuse to go out, and happened to see Queen Wang and Concubine Luo going to the Leng Palace.

She wanted to follow, but she was afraid of scaring the snake, and Su Yan said that there was someone protecting the young lady secretly, so she returned to Ningshou Palace.I thought everything was safe, but now, hearing what Bai Hongtai said, Leng Ling couldn't help but feel worried.

"Doctor Zhang is here."

The sudden sound startled Birou Cuiliu, she suddenly opened her eyes, saw the people in the room, she was taken aback for a moment, then stood up as if waking up from a dream.

Cui Liu said, "Concubine Ning Qing is back, I'll go in and tell the Empress Dowager." After finishing speaking, she strode towards the inner room.

The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed and did not fall asleep, she sat up when she heard Cui Liu's voice, and when she heard that Princess Ning Qing had returned, the Empress Dowager got out of bed while instructing Mother Xi to fetch her clothes.After putting on her clothes, she helped Ximao's arm to go outside.

Seeing the Empress Dowager coming out, Bai Ziwan hurriedly got down from the couch and saluted, "Yingying disturbed the imperial grandmother to rest, please punish the imperial grandmother."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." The Empress Dowager helped Bai Ziwan up, looked at Zhang Yuyi and said, "Zhang Yuyi, how are Yingying and the baby in her belly? Does it matter?"

Doctor Zhang took a look at Bai Ziwan and saluted, "If you go back to the empress dowager, Princess Ningqing and the child in her womb are safe and sound, but when the old minister checked the pulse, she found that Princess Ningqing's body was damp and cold, but not Hurry up, take a dose of medicine and you'll be fine, the old minister will write the prescription and have someone boil the medicine and send it over."

"Biore."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Birou Fushen agreed, picked up Yuyi Zhang's medicine box, and went outside with Zhang Yuyi.

Not long after, Yuan Haochu came over with Yu Liansheng, and when he learned of Bai Ziwan's situation, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, but his eyes were cloudy.

"Your majesty, Yingying has been found. Why do you..." As if remembering something, the empress dowager looked at Bai Ziwan, "Doctor Zhang said just now that you have a damp and cold air in your body, Yingying, tell grandma, is it?" Who took you? Where have you been these few days?"

Bai Ziwan lowered his eyes, as if unwilling to mention it.Yuan Haochu frowned, and told the Empress Dowager the ins and outs of the matter.The empress dowager slapped her short palm heavily when she heard the words, "The empress is becoming more and more confident, and dares to murder the royal blood. Your majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Murdering the prince and grandson shall be executed according to the law!Yuan Haochu was about to answer, but saw Bai Ziwan kneeling in front of him, startled, and said, "Yingying, what are you doing? You are weak, get up quickly." He raised his eyes and looked at Su Yan Leng Ling With a glance, he ordered, "Hurry up and help your master up."

Su Yan walked up to Bai Ziwan and said, "Miss must have something to say to the emperor, that's why. Please ask the emperor to let the lady finish talking."

Bai Ziwan smiled, kowtowed respectfully towards Yuan Haochu, and said, "Yingying is a junior, but she made her father work hard and make her grandmother worry about her. Yingying is already very guilty. Because there are father and grandmother Yingying and the baby came back safe and sound, but Yingying wants to ask her father for a favor, don't pursue it anymore, let it all pass, okay?"

Thinking of Queen Wang's viciousness, Yuan Haochu opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No!" He had wanted to kill the Wang family for a long time, but he never caught the handle. Even if something happened to Wang Zhong, he couldn't find any evidence. How could he let her go this time to punish Wang's crime?

"Father..."

"Don't you remember what she did to you and Hongyi? If I hadn't arrived in time tonight, you and the baby in your womb would have been killed by her. Now it's a good thing, and you still want to plead for her?" Yuan Haochu's eyes were full of hostility, and he said, "Don't talk about it, this time I have to punish her!"

Bai Ziwan said, "My daughter-in-law is not pleading for the queen, but for herself and the unborn child in her womb."

"You? An unborn child?" Yuan Haochu was puzzled.

"Yes." Bai Ziwan nodded and said, "I just came back safely, and the baby will be born in a few months. The queen deserves what she deserves, and I'm not someone who repays kindness with grudges... After all, the queen is the queen. It is always bad to go out, it will damage the reputation of the father. And the heavens have the virtue of good life, so Yingying boldly begged the father to punish the queen lightly, and accumulate virtue for me and my unborn child."

The Empress Dowager nodded secretly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's rare that Yingying is so kind, so you just obey her and treat the Empress lightly."

He didn't ask Wang's crimes about Wang Zhong's matter, and Aru's matter had passed so many years ago. He hated her to the bone, but if Wang's crimes were punished now and spread, the people would only say that he was obedient and violative, and there were still people in the court. There are many secret files of Wang Zhong.Before getting rid of them, he must not act rashly.

Yuan Haochu nodded and said, "Get up, I promise you." Then he said, "It's getting late, the queen mother should rest earlier. I'm going first."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Haochu walked straight outside.Yu Liansheng slapped the empress dowager, turned around, and hurriedly chased him out.

The Empress Dowager said, "Yingying is weak, and it's already late, let her stay at Ai's house tonight, so it's convenient to take care of her."

Bai Hongtai originally wanted to send Bai Ziwan back, but upon hearing what the Empress Dowager said, it was impossible to refuse, so he said, "Then I will trouble the Empress Dowager. I will leave first."

"Su Yan, send father out for me."

Not long after Su Yan sent Bai Hongtai out, Birou came in with the soup.Bai Ziwan drank the soup and went back to the house with Leng Ling.

"The two of you can go to the room to rest." The Empress Dowager gave instructions to Cui Liu and Bi Rou, and then went back to her own room while supporting Mother Xi's arm.

The Empress Dowager took off her clothes and handed them to Mother Xi, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Axi, what do you think of her?"

"The empress dowager means Princess Ningqing?" Xi Momo came over and said as she took off her shoes for the empress dowager, "This old slave doesn't have much contact with and doesn't know much about Princess Ningqing. Except for the empress dowager, Princess Ningqing is an old lady. The second most special woman I have ever seen."

"It seems that you have a good impression of her." The Empress Dowager looked at Mother Xi and said, "Why is there a special method, tell the Ai family."

Mother Xi said, "Do you still remember that when she and King Ningqing entered the palace to pay their respects, the four concubines and the others were all in the room talking about King Ningqing leaving his bride to go to the brothel? Princess Ningqing was outside, but she Act like nothing happened.”

"That alone makes you look at her with admiration? You are not afraid that she will do it on purpose. Don't forget whose daughter she is."

Mother Xi smiled and continued, "Later, in the conference hall, Mrs. Zeng deliberately brought up this matter. Everyone knew what the purpose was, but Princess Ningqing took it easy. Later, Queen Wang deliberately caused trouble so that the emperor would punish Ning Qing. Wang. Although Linjiang City is not a wild place as rumored, it is a place that everyone fears to avoid, but Princess Ningqing took the initiative to go with King Ningqing."

The Empress Dowager nodded.Mother Xi continued, "We all know that Princess Ningqing is not the real Bai Yingying. No matter why she married King Ningqing, her persistence in these years is enough to prove that she has a deep affection for King Ningqing. There are King Ningqing, and there are many concubines in his mansion, but he only has a special liking for Princess Ningqing. The important thing is that everyone in the royal family, regardless of gender, is not doing anything for the sake of status, status, and power, but Princess Ningqing is knowing that the king What the queen has done is still pleading with the emperor for her, this kindness and tolerance are really rare inside and outside the imperial city. Therefore, sometimes when I see Princess Ningqing, the old slave seems to see the past of the master."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "You have a mouth like a little girl when you get old, so you will make Ai's family happy. However, what you said is not unreasonable. Back then, Pan Ren begged Ai's family to give Bai Yingying to Yi'er." Aijia naturally said what idea he had, Aijia also had his own plan at the time, so he agreed. In order to restrain Bai Hongtai and Pan Ren, Aijia made Bai Yingying take the love flower gu, but she didn't expect her It's not really Bai Yingying at all, let alone that she would stay by Yi'er's side, and live and die with Yi'er. It's just..."

"Isn't the master worried that Princess Ningqing has another purpose?" The Empress Dowager nodded, and Mother Xi said, "This old slave thinks that Princess Ningqing is a sincere child. If she really has another purpose, why bother to embroider it even when she is pregnant?" I gave you a picture of a thousand lifespans as a birthday gift? Also, don’t you remember what Princess Ningqing said that night? This old slave feels that Princess Ningqing also has a deep affection for King Ningqing.”

If she is false, according to Yi'er's character, she will never be allowed to stay with her, let alone let her become pregnant.Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt relieved.

On the other side, Bai Ziwan leaned on the bed, closed her eyes and rested.After a long time, when she heard the door open, she slowly opened her eyes, "Did you tell Dad?"

"Yes." Su Yan nodded and said, "Miss, Su Yan doesn't understand. Mrs. Wang has harmed you so much, why do you plead with the emperor for her?"

Bai Ziwan smiled lightly and said, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, murdering the prince and grandson should be executed according to the law. Even if I beg for mercy, the emperor will not easily spare the Wang family. The death of the previous empress has already made the emperor treat the Wang family Hate to the bone. Wang Zhong was exiled, and Wang Zhong’s party also died a lot, but Princess Rouyang is still there, and there are many Princess Rouyang’s people in the court, so even if the emperor wants to kill Wang, he still has scruples. I beg for mercy, but It's just a step for the emperor."

"It turns out that the lady knows it all. It seems that the general is worrying too much."

"What did Dad say?"

"I said the same thing as the lady. The general asked me to tell the lady that you must protect yourself. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

"Did you test my feelings just now?" Bai Ziwan laughed, and continued, "It's getting late, you guys should go and rest too."

"We're not tired, we'll take care of Miss." The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Aren't you tired? You go to the mirror and have a look, you are almost catching up with the rabbits." Knowing their temperament, Bai Ziwan said, "Forget it, since you don't want to leave, then come up and we sleep together, anyway, this bed is enough Big." He said and moved inside.

Leng Ling wanted to refuse, but when she saw Su Yan quickly take off her shoes and go to bed, she hesitated for a while, then took off her shoes and went on the bed.

"Miss, in your opinion, how will the emperor deal with the Wang family?" After a long time, Leng Ling looked at Bai Ziwan and asked, breaking the brief silence of the three of them.

"Into the limbo."

Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, Yuan Haochu decreed that the Empress Wang was jealous by nature and used ruthless methods to secretly murder the prince and grandson, and she should be executed according to the law. The eighth prince interceded with the fourteenth princess, and then put the queen into limbo and was not allowed to leave for life.

According to the eunuch who passed the decree, after knowing the content of the decree, the queen did not cry, make noise, or speak a word, like a puppet who lost her soul and followed the guards to the cold palace.Instead, the eighteenth prince and the fourteenth princess were crying and begging the emperor to spare the king and queen in front of the meeting hall.

As for Concubine Luo, who framed the former empress to death, she was gifted to death by Yuan Haochu Bai Ling.

Because of the empress dowager, Bai Ziwan had no choice but to stay in Ningshou Palace.Every day, the empress dowager would order some nutritious food to be brought over. She had nothing to do, either gossiping with the empress dowager, going to Princess Anning, or the imperial garden. In just five days, Bai Ziwan clearly felt that she Gained a lot of weight again, and the small waist of the past has long since ceased to exist.

"Miss, eat this bowl of bird's nest."

Hearing this, Bai Ziwan frowned immediately, shook his head and said, "I ate too much just now, I can't eat anymore, you can eat for me."

Leng Ling said, "The Queen Mother specially ordered the kitchen to make this bird's nest for you. How can I eat it? Since you can't eat it, I will send it to the kitchen first. You will eat it when you get hungry."

"Miss is not unable to eat, but because she is afraid that if she eats too much, she will become a fat woman in the future. The prince does not want her."

"Su Yan!" Bai Ziwan stood up abruptly.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Su Yan is here."

This girl looks more and more like Rue Xiang.No, it's more venomous than Rue Xiang!Bai Ziwan frowned, and then snorted coldly, "If he doesn't want me because of my appearance or figure change, I can only say that I was wrong, I don't need him to speak, I will divorce him first!"

The empress dowager was coming out from the inside, and when she heard Bai Ziwan's shocking words, she couldn't help but frowned, and then smiled, "Yi'er dare not want you, the Ai family will be the first to say no."

Bai Ziwan was really taken aback, and immediately went to support the Empress Dowager, and said, "I was talking nonsense just now, it's better for the Empress Dowager not to get angry."

The Empress Dowager patted her arm, smiled kindly, and said, "Although what you said just now was a bit out of line, it is not unreasonable. If a person changes his mind because of a person's appearance or body shape, it can only be said that he does not understand love." .” However, in the royal family, love is a luxury.

The empress dowager pulled Bai Ziwan to sit down on the couch, and said, "The Ai family sees everything you do for Yi'er. With the Ai family around, I will definitely not let Yi'er bully you. We have been here since the Great Zhou Dynasty. Men are respected, don't say what you said just now, so as not to be misunderstood by others."

The empress dowager was smiling, her eyes were serious, Bai Ziwan nodded, thinking, I'm not a fool, would I talk nonsense outside?Men are respected, it is for you, not me!
"Yingying, the imperial grandmother has something to say to you." Seeing Bai Ziwan looking at her, the empress dowager opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak, so she said, "Forget it, you are so smart, the imperial grandmother Believe me, when the day comes you will know how to do it."

Bai Ziwan was confused, but she vaguely understood something.After a long time, Bai Ziwan said, "Grandmother, Yingying wants to go soon."

"Why do you want to go back suddenly? Is it because the maids are not serving you well?"

"No, no." Bai Ziwan waved his hands again and again, because he was so kind that he wanted to go back. "Birou and Cuiliu were originally the imperial grandmother's maidservants, but they have been busy taking care of me these few days. I... I am in good health, and I should go back. The provincial government is worried."

Knowing Bai Ziwan's discomfort, the Empress Dowager said, "In that case, Aijia will not keep you. After lunch, Aijia will send someone to take you back. But you promised Aijia to take care of yourself, and there is nothing to do. Gong talked to Ai's family and taught the maids how to make desserts."

Not long after lunch, the Empress Dowager sent someone to take Bai Ziwan back in a soft sedan, and met the fourteenth princess Yuan Rouyi when she was leaving the city gate.

"I don't know what's the matter with the fourteenth princess?"

Yuan Rouyi stared at Bai Ziwan for a long time, pointed at her, and said bitterly, "Although Father didn't tell me anything, I know that you were the one who killed your mother and was thrown into limbo. Bai Yingying, wait Come on, I will never let you go!"

Looking at the little figure who turned and left, Bai Ziwan smiled slightly. She didn't expect that there would be another enemy so soon...
