Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1246 Notice something strange
Zhou Yuexue was detained in the main courtyard. She did not notice anything unusual for a short period of time. She just thought that it was a fierce party struggle and Chu Chengyao had to do this to protect the child.

She felt sweet in her heart, immersed in the fantasy of how honored and favored she would be after giving birth to the emperor's eldest grandson.

Even when the Prince of Jin ascended the throne in the future, she would naturally become the mother of the country. She had boldly thought about it and even laughed out loud with joy.

But when he saw the servants he brought from the Zhou family, including Shun'er and Dong'er, who had gone out and never returned, and recalled that Chu Chengyao had not been to the main courtyard for a long time, he suddenly felt frightened, and despite the guards' dissuasion, he clamored to see Chu Chengyao.

After a long commotion, Chu Chengyao was nowhere to be seen. Only the housekeeper was seen, who said that Chu Chengyao was busy with official business in the Ministry of Personnel and had not returned home for many days.

When asked about Shun'er and Dong'er, the butler was very respectful and serious:
"Shun'er and Dong'er took advantage of the guards' carelessness to sneak into the prince's study and steal secrets. Later, it was found that the two were spies from the Duke's Mansion and had been sent to the mass grave. They were not informed in advance because they were afraid of disturbing the princess."

Zhou Yuexue didn't believe this statement at all. It goes without saying that Dong'er was the son of the Lin family. Shun'er was a refugee she rescued and was loyal to her. How could he be a spy? She immediately scolded him like a princess and insisted on seeing Chu Chengyao.

The butler was respectful and remained unmoved by the scolding:
"It's better for the princess not to leave the main courtyard. His Majesty is looking forward to the birth of the eldest grandson. If the eldest grandson makes any mistakes, not to mention us servants, even the princess... the prince may not be able to save him.

The newly arranged servants are all reliable and obedient, and the princess can dispatch them at will. Before the prince went to the Ministry of Personnel, he issued a strict order that for the safety of the princess and the eldest grandson, the princess could not leave the main courtyard before giving birth. "

As he spoke, he asked the maid to help Zhou Yuexue to rest. No matter how Zhou Yuexue scolded him, it was of no use.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuexue became even more panicked and wanted to find out the news, but the guards and the newly sent servants were respectful and diligent, and would not say a word no matter how much she beat and scolded them. Zhou Yuexue was so anxious that she could not sleep at night, and she lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

After Chu Chengyao instructed Zhong Yi to investigate the Zhou family, he asked Zhou Yuexue casually, and the housekeeper replied without hiding anything.

"As long as the baby is not harmed, let her make a fuss if she wants to. Let Ying'er check her pulse more often every day, and don't be too harsh on her food."

Zhou Huaili waited anxiously for two days, but did not see Zhou Yuexue come back, so he sent his wife to Prince Jin's Mansion. She came in and had tea, but the housekeeper sent her away on the grounds that Zhou Yuexue did not want to see her.

He also said that he would invite the imperial physician to the Zhou Mansion for a consultation. Zhou Huaili claimed that his illness was just a pretext to see Zhou Yuexue. Mrs. Zhou did not dare to agree at all. She just said that he would be fine after a few days of rest and there was no need to trouble the imperial physician to make a visit.

Zhou Huaili was on pins and needles, fearing that Liu Yunxiang would expose the matter, so he ordered his servants to inquire about Liu Yunxiang's current residence, hoping to have a face-to-face meeting to stabilize her.

Lin Jinyan got the news and asked Wei Zhong to send another letter to Liu Momo. The letter contained Xiaotao's handkerchief and a packet of medicine powder.

When Liu Momo saw the letter beside her pillow, she immediately looked around but didn't see anyone. She didn't know the identity of the writer, but the writer knew her very well. The person who delivered the letter also came and went without a trace. When she thought about her son and daughter being controlled by such a person, she didn't have the slightest hope.

After closing the door and reading the contents of the letter carefully, Liu Momo tightly grasped her daughter's handkerchief, covered her mouth and cried helplessly.
