Prince Han's Mansion.

The night gradually deepened, and suddenly a cold wind blew outside, making the already cold night even colder.

"Prince Qi, we have already set off. We will probably meet the target early tomorrow morning, and the news will come back at noon tomorrow at the latest." Wu Feng made some arrangements and came back to resume his mission.

"They'd better return to Beijing with the news, and they can't be more than half an hour later than the news." Chu Han's voice was slightly deeper, with a coldness, just like the night wind outside.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I gave the order in front of them, telling them to come back as quickly as possible as soon as the matter is over." Wu Feng knew that the Prince attached great importance to this, so he made a special trip to see him safely.

"Well done, let's get down." Chu Han raised his hand, signaling Wu Feng to retreat.

Wu Feng paused and said, "Prince Qi, I got some news on my way back."

"explain."

"Princess Nangong may be back."

"Nangong Yan?" Chu Han's black eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes. Someone saw Princess Nangong's carriage appearing in the capital in the afternoon, but they didn't see the people inside clearly." Wu Feng bowed.

"I know, just ask someone to pay more attention to it." Chu Han ordered and asked Wu Feng to retreat.

Wu Feng did not take Nangong Yan's appearance seriously. After all, Nangong Yan often came to see His Highness King Chen, so there was nothing surprising. The only difference this time was that King Chen's tuberculosis was cured and Nangong Yan did not need treatment.

…

Early the next morning.

Xie Yao had just finished her breakfast and felt a little indigestible, so she wanted to go out for a walk.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the courtyard, I saw Ziqing walking over quickly, carrying a food box in her hand.

"This slave has met Miss Yan." Ziqing stepped forward immediately.

"No need to be formal." Xie Yao raised her hand and glanced at the food box in Zi Qing's hand, "Why did you come to see me?"

"This slave came out of the house in the morning and met someone selling frontier-style food outside. Thinking that Miss Yan would not be able to eat the food from her hometown, she bought some and delivered it to Miss Yan." Ziqing said, picking up the food box,

But it didn't open.

Xie Yao was a little surprised.

Did this girl Ziqing bring her food?

"Come over here and let me have a taste. I just happen to miss the food in my hometown." Xie Yao said cooperatively, turned around and walked to the pavilion on the side.

"Yes." Ziqing also followed.

Xie Yao noticed that there were two maids beside her, so she waved her hand, "You guys should step aside first. Zi Qing will take care of you here."

"Yes!" The two maids knew that Zi Qing wanted to please Miss Yan, so they both retreated.

Walking to the side, someone immediately came over and asked in a low voice: "Did Ziqing finally let go of Princess Han? She actually came to deliver food to Miss Yan!"

"That should be the case. I have never seen Ziqing take the initiative towards anyone. When someone sneaked into the palace before, she was very active in protecting Miss Yan."

"It's okay to let Princess Han go. It's been more than a year, and she has been guarding Fuyunxuan for more than a year. It would be best if she could come to Yunjuan Pavilion!"

"She will be favored if she comes here, but nothing will happen to you!"

"That's because Ziqing is capable. If I were that capable, I wouldn't be afraid of others taking the limelight."

A few people discussed it for a few more words and then dispersed.

Xie Yao glanced at the movement over there and saw everyone dispersed, so she withdrew her gaze and said with a smile: "Ziqing, it seems that you have a good relationship with them. I thought you were coming to compete for their favor, and I haven't developed any feelings for you yet.

hostility."

Zi Qing was startled. She suddenly realized that her behavior was indeed very eye-catching and could easily bring threats to the princess. She quickly apologized, "I was also anxious and forgot about this. Next time, I will definitely not be so reckless."

"It's okay. After all, you are also a maid in Prince Han's Mansion. Even if someone suspects you of doing these things, they can't say anything." Xie Yao persuaded nonchalantly and looked at the food box, "What's in this?"

She's not really from the frontier, so naturally the food in it isn't really frontier delicacies.

Ziqing has opened the lid, taken out the top plate, and placed it on the stone table, "These are the things you loved to eat in the past. I heard that the princess has no appetite for anything she eats recently, and she didn't like those meals yesterday."

This is what I prepared for the taste.”

"They all say that the princess has this reaction because she is pregnant, but I know that you are falsely pregnant. You must be tired recently and your health is worse than before, so you have such symptoms.

You still need to eat more, otherwise your body will not recover easily."

Xie Yao didn't expect that the news would reach Zi Qing's ears, and she was a little surprised, "Did the news about me spread very well?"

"That's not true. After Wu Feng found out, he seriously warned the people in the kitchen and some people who knew the news, saying that for the safety of the fetus in your belly, no one is allowed to talk nonsense. I am the one who bribed the kitchen.

, I only know this." Zi Qing smiled, with a somewhat proud expression on her face.

Xie Yao feigned anger when he heard this, "Do you have a lot of money in your hands, and you still bribe others?"

Ziqing said quickly, "Don't worry, Princess. Even before you came back, the prince was very kind to me and gave me more money than before."

While Ziqing was talking, four small plates were already placed on the table. There were not many things in them, but they were all things Xie Yao liked to eat.

Xie Yao took a look and found that these things did look appetizing, so he picked up some and ate them.

It tastes pretty good!

She nodded with satisfaction and ate a few more of each.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, "Stop guessing! Yesterday, I was in the study room and saw Miss Yan's expression with my own eyes! That kind of reaction to the smell of food must be pregnant.

The reaction is not that the food tastes bad!"

"Moreover, Miss Yan has had no appetite these days, and I know all this! In addition, I also have rumors that Miss Yan has even retched! The imperial doctor has also diagnosed Miss Yan before.

You are right! So, let the people in the kitchen keep their hearts in their stomachs."

"However, although the food is not unpalatable, you must make it according to Miss Yan's appetite in the future, otherwise Miss Yan will starve and lose weight, and the prince will never be able to get around you!"

"Yes, yes! I'm relieved if grandma's analysis is reasonable!" A maid's voice breathed a sigh of relief, "The prince has been paying close attention to the food in the kitchen recently, so of course we have to be careful."

The conversation was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to pass into Yunjuan Pavilion and reach the ears of Xie Yao and Zi Qing, but it would not be heard by the maids in the distance.
