Ye Yichen did not ask the maid to inform him when he came in. Yulan was so immersed in her work that she didn't even know that Ye Yichen had come to her side.

Ye Yichen did not disturb her, but stood aside and looked at her quietly. Yulan was wearing a snow-white middle coat, her thick black hair was only loosely tied up and fixed with a peach wood hairpin, and she had an accessory on her hand.

None. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were focused and serious.

Since she was pregnant with the child, she didn't even wear jewelry much. But in the eyes of the prince, no matter how she dressed up, she was always so graceful and charming.

He has seen her charmingly, cunningly, solemnly, and seriously, and now he finds that serious she is also very beautiful!

Ye Yichen watched for a while, then sat down next to her, snatched the sewing work from her hand, "You don't want your eyes in such a dim light?"

Yulan was startled at first, but relaxed after seeing clearly that it was Ye Yichen. She leaned half of her body weight on the prince, and said angrily: "Why didn't you call someone to announce that the prince is here? I was shocked.

!”

Ye Yichen put the needle and thread on the low table aside and said with a smile: "I wanted to see what you were doing, so I didn't ask anyone to report it."

Yu Lan asked him: "Are you hungry, Your Majesty? Do you want to ask the kitchen to bring some food?"

Ye Yichen shook his head: "I'm not hungry. If you are, just ask them to bring you food."

Yu Lan blinked at him: "Half an hour ago, I just ate a few pieces of pea yellow and a bowl of milk soup!" For the sake of her children, although she has no appetite, she has to eat several more meals a day, every time

Eating was like taking poison, Ye Yichen felt very hard just looking at it.

Ye Yichen felt pity in his heart and gently rubbed his hand on her back. It felt very painful. His heart sank and his mood suddenly became bad.

Yulan didn't notice it and said with a smile: "I asked the little maid to help you wash up."

He quickly called the maid in, and Ye Yichen went to the clean room to wash up and change clothes. Yulan had already washed up, and called Xiaoyu, who was on duty at night, to come in and put away the needle and thread. After a while, Ye Yichen finished washing and put on his clothes.

Zhongyi came out and said, "Let's settle it down." Then he hugged Yulan and went to bed.

Xiaoyu blew out the light and retreated quietly to the outside. Yulan turned over on the couch and faced Ye Yichen face to face. Their breathing could be heard. Ye Yichen hugged her body and felt that there were bones everywhere.

, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

When did Yulan become so thin? It turned out that although she was also very thin, she was far from that! Thinking of what Dr. Gong said, Ye Yichen felt his heart filled with panic.

Yulan talked to him all the time, but didn't ask about Chengzu and Chengzong. Ye Yichen felt a little strange. He had to take the initiative to start the conversation and said, "Aren't you worried about Minzhi?"

Yulan sighed softly: "Of course I am worried." Her voice was very soft: "The third brother and I grew up in a small courtyard. We followed our respective aunts, and the four of us had a monthly routine.

The total amount of money was less than ten taels, and we were often deducted from it. At that time, the master never went to Lvjingzhai, and the wife ignored us and spent all the money on food and clothing.

They were often deducted, so the two aunts made needlework and asked the maids to secretly sell it to supplement their chewing expenses. I remember one time when the third brother went to Songhe Hall to say hello, and the old lady gave him a few pieces of pine nut candy, but he was reluctant to eat them and held them in his hands.

Take it back and give it to me to eat. When we get back to Lujingzhai, the sugar has melted... The third brother and I have the best relationship among all the brothers and sisters!"

Chengzong is a deep and reserved person. Although he has the best relationship with Yulan, he rarely shows it. Even Ye Yichen didn't notice it.

Ye Yichen thought of how happy Yulan and Qian's mother were when Chengzong High School was in high school, and he suddenly realized. Yulan rarely told him about family affairs, and he could understand it. After all, it was her natal family, and the eldest wife was like this

Being mean, Yulan would lose face even if his son-in-law knew about it.

In her husband's family, she had to compete with her mother's family. But now that their relationship had reached this point, they had nothing to talk about, so Yulan slowly talked to him about some things about her mother's family.

"So when I heard that something like this happened to my third brother, I was really worried... But I didn't dare to worry too much. I already felt sorry for the baby in my belly, and I couldn't be selfish and willful anymore!" She stretched her hand down,

After touching her already sizable belly, Ye Yichen stretched out his big hand and pressed it on her hand.

Yulan showed a sweet smile. "Besides, I have already begged the prince, and the prince has agreed to me. I believe in your ability. You can defend the city of Beijing with your remaining defeated troops, repel the allied forces of the Tutu and Jurchens, and use counterinsurgency."

Plan to kill Zuo Yan. You can quell the civil unrest in the northwest. This trivial matter should not be a problem for you. Besides, I believe that since you promised me, you will definitely do it for me. I have confidence in you.

!”

Her tone was very sincere, and a touch of warmth flowed through Ye Yichen's heart.

He assured her: "Don't worry, third uncle, I will never let him suffer!"

Yu Lan hummed and leaned against him, "I believe in you!"

Ye Yichen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have been so anxious to get you pregnant. Just take good care of your body and get pregnant again." He was married to a third-generation man, and he only had one son at his knees.

In this era, the rate of child death was so high, he was a little anxious.

Yulan smiled and said to him: "This shows that this child is destined to us. If we get pregnant again after a while, the child will not be this child! I have been pregnant with him for so long, even though I have suffered a lot.

I have suffered a lot, but I have never regretted it. As a mother, whatever you do for your children is worth it!"

He and Ye Yichen discussed the child's affairs with great interest. What was his name? How to raise a boy and how to raise a girl.

After talking for a while, Yulan fell asleep in a daze.

Within two days, we got the news. The censor Huasong wrote a letter to impeach the deputy chief examiner Jiang Zhengfu for accepting bribes.

Ye Yichen got the news in the morning, and everyone in the capital knew about it in the afternoon. Chengzong was fine, but the eldest wife and the second wife were a little uncontrollable. They came to Yulan again to inquire about the news.

Qian's mother felt sorry for Yulan. The princess had finally managed to raise her baby well. The eldest wife and the second wife came to talk about these troublesome things again. Yulan met them once last time, and she was in a state of depression and lack of energy for several days. One

One is the aunt and the other is the aunt. If Yulan disappears, no one will be able to bear the label of being unfilial.

She had no choice but to lead the way while whispering, "The princess is worried about the eldest young master and the third young master. She has not been able to eat well or sleep well recently. The doctor told her to get more rest and not to be tired." "The pregnancy has not been good.

The doctor told me to take a good rest, but I never see the duchess or his wife asking for a visit on weekdays." And so on, making insinuations.

The eldest wife was angry in her heart. In the past, Mother Qian was nothing in her eyes, but now that she has entered the palace and became the steward of the main courtyard, her mother also started to tremble? The eldest wife wanted to scold her, but she remembered Ye Yichen's cold face.

He looked coldly and endured it.

Although the second wife is fierce, she is reasonable, but when it comes to the eldest son's future, it is the lesser of two evils, so she can only pretend not to understand.

After entering the main courtyard, I saw Yulan leaning on the big bed in the clinic, and her face was indeed a bit ugly. The eldest lady suppressed her anger. The maids served refreshments and filed out, and the eldest lady said casually.

: "You didn't say that if my uncle took action, he would be able to turn this matter around, then why did this matter come to pass again?

Damn it? My uncle is a prince. With his connections, it shouldn’t be difficult to cut off the censor’s documents, right? Is it possible that the prince’s words of help are just perfunctory for us? I said go and beg the prince, but you guys will do it instead.

He persuaded me repeatedly, now is the best..." He looked like he didn't trust Ye Yichen.

Yu Lan said that she believed in Ye Yichen, so she really became the shopkeeper. She ignored what was going on outside the window and only focused on raising the fetus. The censor handed the document to the emperor and sued Jiang Zheng. She had just learned about it from the eldest wife.

.

When the second wife saw the eldest wife coming, she questioned Ye Yichen's "not working hard", fearing that she would mess up the matter by saying so. Then she explained to Yu Lan: "Sister-in-law is also worried about Brother Zong and Brother Zu. Niece, don't leave

Take it to your heart. Just

Now that the matter has reached the imperial court, can the prince give us a word and give us a clear explanation so that we can feel at ease. The men in the family are just sitting there like headless flies. We really have no confidence in our hearts.

ah!"

Yulan smiled bitterly. The eldest lady was here to call for punishment! She just had such a temper. Yulan had already understood it, but he was not angry with her.

He patiently explained to them: "I can understand the mood of mother and second aunt. Even I am as anxious as you now. We all have the same desire to hope that the eldest brother and third brother will be well. I never ask the prince who is outside

But I think since the prince didn't stop the censor, he must have his reasons."

"Mom and Second Aunt, please think about it. This matter is hotly debated and everyone in the streets knows it. Even if the censor does not complain, the emperor still has Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and West Factory. Jinyiwei and Dongxichang are very powerful spies.

But everyone knows! How can the emperor not know about such a big thing? Can the emperor not ask if he knows about it? The prince probably feels that this matter cannot be hidden from the emperor at all, so it is better not to hide it from him at all, so as not to appear

We feel guilty."

The eldest wife and the second wife were all startled when they heard this. They didn't have Yulan's overall view and vision, so naturally they couldn't think of this. After hearing Yulan's explanation, they understood. The emperor might have known about this a long time ago.

If Ye Yichen stopped the censor's report, it might arouse the emperor's doubts. Everyone knew that Ye Yichen and Chengzong were related to Uncle Lang.

Yu Lan added: "We have also seen it. Rumors spread so quickly. There must be someone behind them who is adding fuel to the flames. They are not spreading these rumors to disgust us. They must make trouble in front of the emperor! We can intercept it.

We can cut off ten or eight of the censor's excerpts from one censor. Can we stop the public from talking about it? Can we make all the civil and military officials in the dynasty keep silent?

Why don't you say anything? Rather than being slandered all the time without being able to argue, why not just go to the imperial court and ask the emperor to find out everything and give the eldest brother and the third brother a clean slate!" This case does not matter whether it is the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Whichever department comes to investigate, as long as the prince puts pressure on them and tells them to judge the case impartially, there is still a good chance that they can help Chengzong clear his name.

These words completely convinced the two ladies. The second wife breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest wife still muttered: "Since you think so, you should ask someone to tell us, so that we can feel more at ease."

ah!"

Yulan smiled bitterly. She didn't know what Ye Yichen was thinking. She didn't know how many political forces were involved in this matter. She didn't know whether Ye Yichen wanted to take the opportunity to attack his political opponents and gain some benefits, so his deployment was

Yulan didn't know at all.

It was not easy to send the two ladies away. Yulan felt exhausted physically and mentally. Qian's mother helped her massage her temples. The eldest lady's attitude made her feel very unhappy. Yulan said: "Mom, help me lie down on the kang.

Just lie down!"

The little maid had already been smart enough to lay out the bedding. Mother Qian helped Yulan lie down on the kang, and soon Yulan fell into a deep sleep. Mother Qian carefully tucked her in, and the maids quietly left.

, Qian’s mother was watching over me.

Yulan slept for most of an hour. When he woke up, he found that Qian's mother was not in the room, and the prince was sitting by the kang instead. It was just noon, and Yulan asked: "Why is the prince back so early?"

?" As he said that, he was about to sit up.

Ye Yichen pushed her back again and said, "Just lie down when you feel tired." Then he answered her first question: "I have changed my clothes when I came back, and I wanted to take a look at you."

As he spoke, he frowned: "Madam, are they here again?" His tone was very unhappy. Ye Yichen held one of her hands and saw a few cyan blood vessels faintly exposed under her crystal white skin, and then

Seeing that her face was very pale and ugly, I couldn't help but feel distressed.

"I will tell the concierge later not to let irrelevant people come to the house, so as not to affect your rest." His wife, whom he loved so much, did not dare to say a harsh word. Why?
